Chapter 49
Chapter 49
The room was absolutely more than I could ever imagine. It had beenpletely transformed and
beautifully decorated. The tables
had been moved and all chairs lined and it was absolutely packed with all members in attendance. The
color theme was a navy and soft
pink with trims of glitter. Everyone who aplished this went above and beyond my expectations.
We stood in the opened double doorway as Everest allowed me to take in my surroundings for a breif
moment. I looked at all of the
people who were standing but their heads bowed out of respect as we passed by. We made our way
up to our traditional thrones as they
sat on the raised stage. Members of the high council sat on either side of the thrones. As we walked up
on the stage, they stood and
walked over to us. One of them motioned as a case with a very expensive and borate looking crown
sat in a case. Another brought out
a deep red antique cloak that had white trim along it and held onto it. Another brought a thick dark red
pillow and ced it a few feet
away from me.
The highest council member, Sebastion, began reading scriptures from a very old book. Some of it was
based off the Territories
history about the great war that split and divided the lycans and wolves between north and south. How
in this very moment history itself
was being made because of the North and Southing together in working towards the greater good
with the apany of even a
witch. I saw Miranda’s face flush in the crowd at the mention of herself. Then he turned to me and
Everest let my hand go, and I stepped
forward as he had motioned me to do so.
Sebastion then motioned to the pillow and began after I had kneeled onto the pillow, “Avalynn from this
day forth do you swear by
the Goddess above to protect this pack, do right by this pack, lead by example, follow the king, support
the king, and do everything in
your power to be the leader you were born to be?”
“Yes, I agree.” I stated.
“In the hard times, in war, when sickness gues thends we call our home, do you pledge here, in
front of all of the wolves, lycans,
the king, and council members to lead to the best of your capability?” He looked down to me.
“Yes, I agree.” I said again.
“When times are rough and days turn into weeks and weeks to months do you pledge to always be that
glimmer of hope for the
territory to see a brighter future that is ahead by any means necessary?” He asked the final questions.
“Yes I do.” Seemed like these all needed to be updated but who am I to go off changing these to
modern times.
“From this day, let it be known that she is now named Queen Avalynn of the Northern Territory. May her
reign be long, fruitful, and
forever blessed by the Moon Goddess above!” His voice raised to ensure everyone could hear him. He
ced the delicate crown on top of
my head. To my surprise the crown fit me perfectly. Almost as if it was made to sit there. I happened to
nce up and Sebastion had a
knowing look on his face. I was sure it was nothing though.
Everest helped me up to stand as he ced the cloak around my shoulders. He led me to our thrones
as we sat and then cheering
erupted throughout the great hall. Everest leaned in to kiss me as everyone bowed their head and
kneeled to their new Queen.
Eyerest was still by my side as he addressed the crowd of people, my people, our people, “Ladies and
gentlemen..” He paused as everyone was standing back up, allowing them a moment, “dinner, dancing,
and entertainment awaits! It is a perfect evening for a crowning celebration. Eat and enjoy your
evening!”
I stepped in “Because your Queenmands it.”
As we walked out to the crowd together, many people were happy and congratted myself and
Everest on how wonderful I truly
was. Some congratted me on how well I had been handling the current situations at hand. With the
kidnapping, the three brothers,
helping evacuate packs, and even forgiving the Southern Kings mated witch.
I know some did not understand but knowing how she was a Lycan Kings mate made her pretty
untouchable in our world. The only
ones who can punish her would be her mate or Everest and we were already fighting one war, we
didn’t need to fight two at once.
“We are going to have to exin to the pack in further detail once this is over. They will understand it
eventually, even though they
don’t now.” Charlotte’s thoughts drifted through my mind.
Dinner and dancing was happening as we walked to our table. I stopped and smiled at the table. The
cement was beautifully elegant topped with white roses, navy tablecloths with a silverced trim and
soft pink napkins. Our thrones must have been moved
because now here they sat.
Everest led me to my spot next to him and pushed my chair in as I sat down. He took his spot next to
me and our dinner was served.
We happily ate and talked amongst ourselves. After a few minutes passed a y started up on a raised
stage.
It was the entertainment. It showed, how they the people, interrupted our love story. It hit the high
points and avoided anything too
terrible. It showed a couple who were madly and blindly in love with one another. How the Queen rose
to greatness during battle and
saved her people from a horrible fate.
When it was over I pped and cheered the actors and actresses who put on the show. I sat back and
dessert was served.
“We should go on a run along the forest edge, the entire Kingdom can join in. It will be magical.”
Charlotte said.
“Oh, that sounds like a marvelous idea, Charlotte. I will link to ask him. If he thinks it is a bad idea, I
don’t want others to hear and get their hopes up.” I told her.
“Oh. Smart thinking. Hurry and ask,m itching to get out and run and stretch my leg and just have so
much fun!” She sounded very
excited and happy.
I smiled and linked Everest “So Charlotte and I were wondering if we could get everyone in on a run.”
He nced over to me and smiled, linking me back “I believe that would be a fantastic idea. We can
stay close to the treeline and not venture past our warriors who are doing perimeter runs. Let us go
ahead and announce it. Some need to change and prep so they don’t ruin their clothes.”
“Oh, can/ announce it?” I asked excitedly and he nodded.
I stood up at the table when the music finished ying and walked around the front of our table. People
were talking amongst
themselves or just finished dancing waiting for another song to y.
I cleared my throat, as I was a little nervous to address the entire room. The room went instantly silent
and I smiled inside at how
they just knew something was about to happen. Maybe we can call it their instinct and ties to their
leaders, possibly.
“I really hope that everyone here is enjoying this evenings activities. As I have be your Queen I
would like to offer a kingdom
wide from the North and South a unified pack run. Lycan and wolves to run together under tonight’s
clear bright moon lit sky. Northern
and Southern Territories to unite in a run not only to show how unified we truly are but to let our beasts
out to run, stretch, and y!
know that there have been a lot, and I mean a lot of mates who have found one another since we have
alle together. Let’s unite
together on this run! Be back and ready to go in one hour. We will follow our king as he will be leading
the run along with Myself and King
Brent for the Southern Territory.”
Excitement was felt throughout the entire room. People stood to leave the room in a hurry and I was
almost afraid that I had started
a small mob. Everests voice boomed behind me “Please everyone, do not rush the doors, you have an
hour to change clothes and be
back. That is plenty of time.” Everyone slowed down and walked instead of rushing or running out the
door.
Everest was standing next to me as he ced his hand on the small of my back “Want to go get
changed?”
“Yes, I would like to be morefortable.” I told him.
We waited for everyone to be pretty much cleared out when we made our way up to our room. We
walked with Brent and
Miranda,
“So what is this?” She asked me,
“It like a pack run. But this one is muchrger than a traditional run. Lycans usually just shift and run.
Wolves can but they like to do

it in big youps. It makes the entire pack stronger to run together. It is also a good way to let our beasts
run together, y, stretch, and just have fun.”
“Oh.” Miranda had a frown,
“What’s wrong?” I asked her.
“Lobviously can not shift.” She blushed and she looked so sad to not be able to join.
“You may not be able to shift but you can ride.” I told her. I saw Brent look back at us with a smirk.
“Ride? Him? His Lycan beast? You mean like, like a, like a horse?” Sheughed causing the guys to
snicker.
“Yes, I believe so. You can grip his fur and ride with him. He would not let you fall. It would be a lot of
fun.” Iughed with her.
“Oh I don’t know, that makes me very nervous. I can try guess. I just hope that I do not fall off of him”
She told me as her eyes
widened.
“We will all be running together in the group that leads the whole pack. We won’t let you fall, we will be
close knit.” I reassured
her.
“Okay. Thanks. I feel a bit better, I guess.” She smiled and I returned the smile to her.
“See you guys in a bit.” I told them both as we went in the opposite direction to our wing. We walked
into our room and changed clothes. Everest helped me out of my dress carefully. His fingers caressed
my skin softly, following the curve of my body.
He leaned down and ced a kiss on my mouth.
Thelped him out of his suit, even though he didn’t really need the help. We both put on gym attire and I
took down my hair only to
put it up in a high ponytail.
“How can someone look so sexy in a fancy gowh and still just as sexy in work out gear?” He pulled me
into his arms with a yful growl, nipping at my ear.
giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck. “I don’t know, but I was wondering the same about you.
Just, you know, in a suit and not a gown.”
He let out a good bellyugh. “Oh that would be a site to see. I am sure everyone would love to see
that site. Their King in a tight fitting gown. Ahhh. No. That image, I CAN’T!” Heughed at himself
before calming as he still smiled at me “Ready to go?”
“I am.” I said excitedly and I could feel Charlotte push forward watching and waiting as patiently as she
could.
We took the elevator down to the first floor and joined the others. Once we were sure everyone was
there that wanted to or could
attend we began. Everest gave out the rules of not wandering off too far and do not cross past the
perimeter warriors for safety
reasons.
We all shifted and took off to the woods. We ran as a full group for the first thirty minutes. Everyone
spread out more and done their
own thing once the signal was given that you can split. Charlotte nced over to Miranda who was
clutching Brent’s lycans fur for dear
life but looked like she was having a st. For some reason that made me very happy.
We ran and all yed with one another. Our Lycans ying the child’s game of tag with the rules of not
being able to go after our
mates. We were all connected and could sniff them out easily.
We ran down to the the river, sshing around and having a great time. We ran along the coastline
with speed and ease before
turning around and heading back. As much fun as we were having we didn’t want to stay out toote,
Tomorrow was stilling and we still had training to do. We would be moving towards Sir Brennons
pack, it was determined
earlier, Tuesday at dawn. Only a handful of days to perfect my moves. Saturday was going to be a full
day off. To give everyone a day of
rest same with having Monday afternoon off.
I felt Charlotte’s sadness as we were preparing to shift back into my human form and reminded her that
tomorrow and Sunday there
would be lycan traning and she perked up. She was extremely excited to be able to utilize her skills,
We shifted and returned back to bedroom. We took our showers together and washed the dirt off one
another. We slid into our silk
bed sheets after we dried off and i drifted off to sleep in his arms. Tomorrow will be another busy day of
preparing for the war that is to e.
