The Crown

21 - Grace

My nerves were starting to get to me as I paced the dressing room, the long cream ball gown flowing around me making it seem like I was floating. My corination was to start in a few minutes, the time ticking closer to when I would have to depart for the throne room.

"Ace it'll be fine. You'll be fine." Amelia sighs out, sipping her orange juice. Karina, Maddie and her had on sky blue gowns, the material soft and flowy, moving softly with every movement they make. I envied them since this ball gow was huge. Its fabric weighing down on my frame but it still seemed so light and airy whenever I looked in the mirror. But I knew that I had to look the part today.

"Briden just linked me. Some one is coming up to escort us to the cerimony." A groan escapes my lips as Amelia says this, Maddie and Karina smirking with amusement.

"Oh shush you both don't understand how badly I want to leave and hide from this. I mean what if those reporters are right. I get that I have Alpha and Beta blood running throughbme but what if I mess up." The worry was clear even to me. I knew that when I agreed to marry Caden I wouldnt be able to turn back from the life of the royals. I had werewolves to protect from not only the other mythicals but also from humans.

God forbid a human found out about us and the danger we would face all over again. I mean its only been about two hundred years since the last hunt was created bu those hunters and only a handful know about our exhistance only because they were born into the hunters lifestyle.

"Grace you have been coming to this pack for months now. We all have gotten to know you as not only our friend and Queen but also as a part of this family. You have made this pack happier. You make us all smile and you are an amazing leader. I mean i would have killed Audry if she had come up to me the way she did to you yesterday." Maddie says, wobbling to where I stood and giving me a hug.

"She's right Grace. You make us so happy. You make Caden happy. For years this pack was like a wall of tension when my father rulled and now the werewolf community with thrive with you and Caden as our rullers. You're my sister and I'll make sure you get through this." Karina says with a smile, joining in on the hug. To hear their convition and support for me made my eyes tear up. They had my back and I knew that no matter what these girls, my pack mates and friends, would protect me and help me as their Queen.

"Considering I am unable to stand I'll send my hugs through this." Amelia says as she flapps her arms causing the rest of us to laugh.

I couldn't believe how lucky I was to be standing here today when just months before I was in The Run wanting nothing more then to put my father and Alpha to shame. To show them we shewolves were strong.

And me worrying about stupid reporters wasn't who I was. I am an Alpha just like my mother was. I am strong. Even if in a few months I'll be weaker then a newborn pup. But today I will walk down that aisle and I will take The Crown as Queen and make my nation flourish.

With a new found determination I stand taller, smoothing out the cream dress with saphire coloured dessigns and face my reflection.

A girl with silver haired curls with a half up hair style faces me. All that was missing was my crown.

The door opens and a guard steps in, his uniform freshly pressed as he stands at attention, his smile evident from here.

"Lady Silver it is time and I can't wait to call you my Queen."
