The next two weeks flew by as we prepared for my 17th birthday. I was extremely nervous. My birthday would be a black-tie event with Grammy and Grampa formally presenting me to the kingdom as the heir to the throne. Additionally, we would be announcing that I had found my mate and Sawyer and I would officially accept each other in front of everyone and take our vows as Alphas of Regal Ridge. I wouldn’t be able to take my place as Queen until I was 18 or until Grammy and Grampa were ready to step down.
I was thankful for that at least. It was terrifying enough knowing that I’d be taking over as Alpha already, but Grampa insisted that I was ready. There was a bit of confusion as to what Sawyer’s role would be since typically the Alpha was a male and his mate was the Luna to the pack.
