The Coronation Ball is spectacular, I know that Raven is beyond exhausted but I pull her into my arms for our first dance. Everyone else starts to dance after we exit the dance floor. Her dress fits her snugly until it reaches her knees. The mermaid style looks perfect on her. The dress is black it turns to black and red ruffles at her knees. The chest is made like a wrap on one shoulder and then carried around to the breast.
I make sure she greets all of the top Alphas and Lunas. Then I call for the limousine to the airstrip. We are taking the private jet. I have Patti, my Delta Lance and his wife/mate Jennifer. We are on our way to Scotland before midnight. Raven is exhausted so I take her back to the bedroom. I have her get ready for bed and I tuck her in.
The rest of us get ready to face her brother Alpha Jonathan Scott. I have done extensive research on him. He found his mate but snapped her neck because he thought she wasn't worthy of him. She was an Omega but was also a snake hybrid. She was very powerful and would have made him stronger.
Now he will face judgement from the council who are also meeting us there. I don't know his Beta yet and his other staff hasn't come into question. We must see how the Alpha of Scotland fares. Patti tells me that they left six months after he killed his mate. At that time the Beta was Christopher Green.
Christopher was fairly new to the area but he fought hard to make Beta quickly. He didn't have a mate if she remembers correctly. She was 17 when they left but she hadn't been pulled to any of the wolves in the pack. She knew that Raven had to get away from her brother before he could kill her too.
Patti blames Jonathan for the death of Raven's parents. Everyone loved them and the talk was that he was training Raven as Alpha. She wasn't the oldest but she was the best fighter, the best with the pack matters, not to mention the best with the job of Luna too.
Her parents were training her to be Queen but they weren't aware of it. You don't get a notice that your pup will be Queen. I wish I could have spoken to them. I would tell them their War Goddess is Queen. I love her so completely. I as King can remove Jonathan's title. I can give it to my Queen but she wouldn't be able to stay and rule both. My idea is to set this Christopher if he is a good man. I only hope he finds a good mate.
We pull into the airstrip several hours later. I wake my Queen and have her get dressed. She wears a business suit that shows her power and status. The Red blouse is just peeking out from the black pin stripe suit jacket. The pants are very classic cut with a high waist. Red buttons adorn the pants and jacket. Her red heels are just the perfect touch. She put her hair up and places the crown on her head. She wears simple diamond earrings and her wedding set. The necklace is the locket I gave her.
I hold her close to me and breathe her scent in. This calms me before the storm. I wear my crown to match her, I also wear my black pin stripe suit. I wear a black shirt with a red tie. I have a red pocket handkerchief as well. My black wing tip shoes have a red bottom. We look our power couple part. I squeeze her hand for comfort before we step out of the plane.
Patti will go last for her protection. First will be my Delta couple wearing all black. They look sinister. Then we will follow with Patti at the rear. Patti has a red knee length dress without sleeves. Raven helped her pick it out. She is hoping to find her mate. If not she will return to the castle.
All goes well. We are greeted by the Beta, who bows first. He looks around sniffing the air as if he is searching for something or someone. His face lights up when he sees Patti. Patti has stopped walking down the steps. She is staring at the Beta. He walks over to the steps to help her. When they touch the air sparks. All of us see it.
Patti faints and he catches her. I tell him they can use the plane as long as needed. He tries to bow again but its difficult holding a female. I tell him to just go. We can find our way. Raven smiles toward the couple before returning to her stoic look.
Raven is nervous about seeing her brother. The person who abused her for nearly two years. She couldn't make herself fight him because she still loves him. She didn't want to hurt him. I can't help but wonder how she will feel now.
"Raven, look at me baby.", I wait for her to turn towards me. "I will be with you all the way.", this time I mind link her. She jumps startled, "How is this possible? We are from different packs." I look at her, "Because we are the king and queen. We can open to any pack. Right now I have it blocked to only the two of us. After some practice I will unlock it for you to everyone else. I just don't want you overwhelmed. It took me several weeks to get control. I just know you will be much faster."
Raven squeezes my hand as we pull up to the pack house. I gently squeeze back before we exit the car. I continue to hold her hand as we walk up the steps. We are greeted by the Delta and his mate. "Please excuse me your majesties. I was expecting the Beta to be in charge of the meeting. Please come in, we can sit in the living room.", He is shaking with nerves.
"Where is my brother Delta Howard? I am expecting him to meet with us.", Raven speaks first. "I'm sorry your highness, I thought you knew.", He pauses. "Knew what exactly?", I asked. "He has been arrested in the human world.", he falls silent and drops his head.
"The council will be here in a couple of hours. They will decide his fate. For now I set the Beta as Alpha and the Delta as Beta. If the council changes this it will be something they find. As far as my research this is best.", I look to Raven. "Raven why don't you go look into packing up the things you want from here.", I mind link her.
Beta Harrison and Patti arrive before dinner. They are holding hands and she wears his mark. He in turn also wears her mark. She walks over to Raven and hugs her tight. Harrison is told about his status and therefore Patti's. Raven tells her she is the new Luna. We hold a small ceremony to place them officially.
As Alpha Harrison makes several changes. He asks my advice about several issues. The bunch of us work late into the night. "I think we need to table this for a while and return after breakfast in the morning. That gives us about 4 hours to relax. Goodnight everyone.", Raven announces. "I couldn't agree more, very sound decision my love.", I kiss her hand and pull her to me.
I can feel her body shiver and I hear her heart speed up. We go to her old bedroom. I suggest she take a hot bath to relax. I go start the water in the tub. I find a lavender bath bomb to drop in the water. I start removing my clothes and when I get down to just my boxers I turn to find my mate asleep on her bed. I slip off my boxers, stop the water and finish undressing her. I carry her to the tub where I sit down with her in my lap.
I wash us both and return us dry to her bed. I get in and snuggle up to my Queen. After four hours are up we get a knock at the door. "Breakfast time your highnesses.", the Omega announced. Raven moans and I whisper, "I'll bring you something back. Give my War Goddess a few more minutes of rest. I'm truly proud of you baby girl. Rest." I kiss her neck.
At breakfast I find only the kitchen staff, warriors and the males from last night. We just all laugh because we know all of our mates are still sleeping. We eat and continue to contemplate on our next move. The council arrived in the night and they finally join us to eat. I ask the Omega to take breakfast to the ladies. She laughs but says she will happily.
Raven comes down 20 minutes after she has her coffee. I can tell she is ready for the day. "I want to show you Scotland before we go home. Can they finish up without you?", she asks. "I think the council has your brother covered and the New Alpha Harrison is doing beautifully. Patti is well mated my love.", I reply.
"What is first on our list baby girl?", I ask. "Well I thought we could pack a backpack and tour around for a few days. This as you know is Aberdeenshire. We have over 300 castles, this makes our castle hard to find and werewolves safe. We can travel from here to Torry Battery to watch the dolphins. After we can visit Inverness to see Nessie, the North Coast 500 with lots of villages and shops, finally seeing the cathedral before we sleep. Then we can go south to Glasgow and later East to Edinburgh.", she waits for my reply.
"Is it ok if our Delta Lance, his mate Delta Jennifer, Luna Patti, and Alpha Harrison join us? I think that the council and Beta can carry on here. It will give us security, plus you can visit some with Patti before we leave for home. I know you are worried about Jonathan. I feel it love but he did this not you. Please forgive him and let's have a bit of a honeymoon baby.", I wrapped my arms around her.
"I think it's a perfect idea Will. Thank you! I love you Wilson Dean Brown.", she kisses me softly yet passionately. "I love you as well my War Goddess.",I say. We make our way back to the office to finalize our plans for the next few days.
Jennifer and Patti squeal simultaneously and I know their answer. They all turn to us where we all raise our hands as if we were under arrest. They go running to pack. I explain to the guys about the first leg of our journey and Harrison shakes his head yes. "This trip is sounding very romantic are you sure we wouldn't be in the way?", he asks. "I suggested it because she needs time with Patti, I really do think this will be a good trip for the girls. Raven and Jennifer need to bond as well as Patti needs to know her friend will always be there.", I tell them both.
Wolves that we are we don't need a lot of gear. I pack my clothes with hers, then we tie a sleeping bag to her gear. I pack the gear needed for fire, fishing, and games before I tie a sleeping bag on my gear. Each of us pack this way. Then we head out. Torry Battery isn't that far of a hike. Sunset is seriously the best time for watching dolphins.
We sit our gear in a pile near by and watch for a couple of hours. The view is spectacular, with the shades of color blending into the water.
