The Hybrid's Oracle

sweet but psycho

  For the rest of the week, Renée was so busy that she didn't even have time to worry or think about Kyle, Queen Rosalie and King Luther would not be available for the coronation so all of the planning fell on Luciana and being a royal witch, the overseeing of the ceremony rests on her shoulders but Rosalie was always available to give her ideas and opinion. Renée had to help and at the same time practice etiquettes. Raymond was in charge of park duties while Lucian was busy in Niveria.
  On the evening of the coronation, the palace was beautifully decorated, it was difficult to take your eyes off the chandeliers. A lot of people had gathered in the palace hall where the ceremony will be hosted, pack leaders who couldn't be available sent representatives, the park members of the Royal Moon pack carried themselves with a lot of pride even though they had not yet had a glimpse of the princess, her presence was sure to increase their power. A lot of ladies came dressed up with hopes of wooing the crown prince for the last time, some of them gossiped on why the crown princess to be was kept a secret from everyone until now, rumors had it that she probably wasn't suited for him. At that moment, everyone wanted a glimpse of the crown Prince's mate who had been a mystery to everyone. Wine was being passed around by stewards and the buffet table were filled with varieties of dishes..never decreasing. Some pack leaders and representative used the moment to make new alliances and greet old friends.
 
  She was led to a full length mirror by Luciana and a stand by maid. She let out a soft cry as she was suprised at what she saw. She was a girl, but the girl seemed very matured in a dangerously sexy way, her skin was as soft as the silk gown she was wearing: it was a long red gown with a slit that stopped above her knee, clinging to her curves, low cut bodice, her hair fell perfectly shaping her face, her lips were the color of blood, full and kissable. Her eyes were the mixture of both black and silver, sparking with excitement.
  “My son won't be able to get his eyes off you”. Queen Rosalie's voice sounded in the quiet room. Renée turned around to see a humanoid form of the queen, out of excitement she tried to grab her(queen’s) hand but hers just passed through instead, it was like a projector or maybe a ghost because the form seemed real. She was pretty excited. “I’m not really there with you, I used my powers to project myself. I'm sorry for not being there in person but I promise to make it up to you”.
  “Mom it's fine. All of this is like a dream and I'm so happy”. Her eyes were glossy with tears as she stared at the new maternal figure in her life.
  “Not today. I won't let you ruin my masterpiece with tears”. Luciana warned with a stern tone earning a chuckle from the queen and with a slight flick of wrist, Renée’s eyes were dried up.
  “I’m sorry sis”.
  “It’s fine–”.
  “Luciana it's time to start the ceremony. Is everything ready?. Ready or not, here I come”. Raymond enters the room and does a double take. “OMG. YOU ARE LIGHTING A BAG OF CHIPS!” He exclaimed but his gaze was exclusively on his mate.
  “Oh Ray. Am i?”. Luciana giggled, she was wearing a matching outfit with Renée but hers was white, something that got to do with purity.
  “I’m lying, i’m dying. You know what I'm saying”
  Renée chuckled.
  “I gotta tell you”. He covered the distance between himself and his mate and fondly caressed her cheek. “Whatever it is that you're serving–”.
  “You better give me a double!”. Queen Rosalie completed. “Dont you get tired of those cheesy lines”.
  “Not when it's Luciana I'm telling them to”. He replied. “Hey sister in law. Hope you're ready to meet everyone”.
  “I’m lying, I'm dying you know what I'm saying”. She mimicks Raymond causing a round of laughter. “I think I'm ready”.
  “I’ll be waiting for you up there”. The princess mutters as the projected form of the queen and hugs Renée. She turned to the maid that had been was standing in a corner, trying to hide her presence in the room. “Eira bring her to the room once it's time. I'll expect that you don't mess this up”. Then she left with Raymond, both of them hand in hand with lust in their eyes.
  “Hello Eira”.
  She noticed how the maid was startled by her greetings, she didn't look a day over sixteen. She went forward to hold the maid hands, she felt how rough it was but didn't take it into consideration. “I am Renée, I hope we can be friends”.
  “Friends?”. The maid seemed more suprised at the gesture. “Your highness, there is order in hierarchy. I'm not fit to be a friend to you”.
  “It’s fine”. She saw how timid Eira was and it reminded her of herself. “Are you okay?”.
   She nods immediately. “I am just a little clumsy around here”.
  Another girl in a maid outfit entered, Renée attention was on her so she didn't notice how scared Eira looked for a second.
  “Who are you?”
  “I’m sorry your highness, I was curious to meet you”. Her lips wobbled as if she was going to burst into tears soon. Renée wasn't getting a good vibe from her, flashes of images filled her head but she was unable to piece everything together at that moment.
  “Please leave”. She turned around to face Eira once more, not giving face to the new maid.
  The intruding maid clenched her fists at her side, she glared at Renée’s back and gave a scornful glance at Eira before leaving.
  “What’s she like?”. Renée inquired.
  “She is herself”. Eira didn't dare say more than that. A pendant on her neck started to feel warm. Luciana’s signal. “Princess, we leave now”.
  Renée inhaled deeply and lets out a deep breath. “Come on, what could possibly go wrong”.
  As they walked out of the room, Eira was by her side to make sure she doesn't trip since standing in front would be disrespectful. The guards and maids in the hallway they went through had their heads bowed in respect, with each step she took, power filled her vein and circulated in her blood, becoming a part of her, her eyes were straight up ahead, her posture was elegant and proud like a true leader. She didn't notice how the tattoo on her left wrist was glowing faintly.
  Soon they arrived at the ballroom, a short fanfare was played to announce her arrival. The ballroom went silent, a path was made for her in the middle of the room, she didn't look to the sides where everyone was staring wide-eyed, mesmerized by her beauty, even ladies who thought of challenging her felt suppressed by the aura around her. Her eyes were on the makeshift platform where Luciana was waiting with a smile.
  Eira helped her onto the stage and silently retreated to the side.
  Luciana’s angelic voice filled the room. “We’re all gathered here for the coronation of the Crown princess of the werewolf community and the future Luna of the Royal Moon pack. Renée McCartney, do you promise to rule over every werewolf with justice and all your heart as ordained by the Moon Goddess?”.
  “I promise”. Her voice sounded like a lark's. She smiled back at Luciana.
  She turned to the people in the room. “Does anyone has anything to say against Renée here, if you do, speak up or shut the fuck up because I don't fucking care”. She commanded with harsh tone which caused a lot of people to break into cold sweat.
  Some of the Alpha's present were suprised to see Luciana overseeing the coronation, she might look sweet on the outside but her temper was know to be as bad as her brother's and even the king and queen indulged her.
  “I have something to say!”. Someone's voice sounded in the crowd.
  “What the fuck!”. Luciana swore, inwardly most of the people in the crowd started cursing the person that dared to speak in front of the ‘Savage Princess’. “Come out”.
  Ryella turned around to see Kyle striding out with pride and arrogance, Luciana’s face darkened with anger. “You!. What do you have to say”.
  “She belongs to me!”. He announced, whispers was coming from the crowd. Renée shut her eyes trying to shut out the depraving words she was hearing about herself.
  “Are you saying that the Crown Prince made a mistake in choosing his mate?”. Half of Luciana’s lips tilted up to a mocking smirk, she was setting fire on a grenade.
  “I don't know how she managed to capture the Crown Prince heart but she definitely belongs to me”.
  “Is she bearing your mark?”. An alpha from the crowd asked.
  Kyle went quiet.
  Laughter came from the crowd. “A toad wanting to eat swan meat”.
  “He even dares to go against the Savage Princess”.
  “He tried to claim the Demon Prince's mate as his”.
  “Very bold but his unexpected end is death”.
  “He dares to court with death”.
  “Unfortunate being”.
  “A disgrace to our kind”.
  Mocking word were being directed at Kyle, for the first time he felt so foolish. He had embarrassed himself and caused the wrath of the Royal family on himself.
  “I’m sorry, it was all a misunderstanding”. He slowly took a step backwards.
  “A misunderstanding”. She suddenly opened her eyes, it was glowing bright silver and the whole room became silent, some Alphas were dumbfounded, they wanted to go on their knees to offer thanks to the Moon Goddess because of her blessings, a lot of people didn't understand this turn of event but they felt it was auspicious. “YOU CALL ALL OF THIS A MISUNDERSTANDING! A MISUNDERSTANDING THAT I'LL WASH CLEAN WITH YOUR BLOOD. TELL THAT TO MY MOTHER”. She took a out a thin hairpin holding her hair in place, with a swift toss, the pin was lodged in Kyle's heart, he felt poison course through his vein instantly killing him. She smirked devilishly as the glow in her eyes dimmed.
  “Anyone else?”.
  “Anyone else?”.
  She and Luciana asked simultaneously but no one dared to speak after that scene, they were paralyzed with fear.
  Luciana took out a dagger carefully wrapped up, it's hilt were covered in ruby gems. With a straight face she made a cut on her left palm. Renée stretched out her right hand and Luciana made a cut, they both joining their bleeding palms together.
  A bright glow covered their joined hands, Luciana was chanting some words that no one could understand, Renée felt her five senses opening up, the power in her merged with her, and she felt the bond with everyone in the Royal Moon pack strengthening up.
  The bright glow dimmed and Luciana stopped her chants. She opened a box to take out a golden tiara with a ruby gem in the middle. “All hail the Crown Princess, daughter of the Moon”. She placed it on Renée's head.
  As if on a cue, everyone present in the room went on their knees and bowed their heads in unity, including Luciana. A moon ray from an open window landed on her giving her an ethereal look.
  “Rise”. She muttered. Everyone heard her clearly and stood up.
  “There is a mate choosing ceremony for every unmated wolf here. I hope it can get your approval. Your highness”. Luciana implored.
  “It’s fine by me”.
  “Every mated wolf can choose to stay but soon it will be time to party!!”. She whispered to Renée. “All you need to do is socialize, wave and smile at anyone who approaches you. No one will dare  come too close after that stunt you played”.
