Crown Prince Mark couldn't believe his mother will choose Chums and openly call her his chosen. He kept an expressionless face as he watch his mother escort Chums back to the throne where he sat.
Queen Melissa held Chums left hand and as they got to the front of the royal castle, where the two throne was, she turns back still holding Chums left hand, She raises both her hand and Chums hand up and commanded the large crowd "Bow before her royal majesty Chums Gerald one of the Alpha Clans!."
All the crowds and guest and elders and those outside of the palace gate watching the coronation ceremony falls to their knees and bows their head lowered to the ground.
They stayed in the position for a minute except for the royal family that sat.
Crown Prince Mark wasn't happy about his mother selection but there was nothing he could do.
He held his expressionless face and look away from the crowd to the slaves that bows to their new queen too.
He observed the white human didn't return back and she wasn't seen with the slaves when his mother finally commanded them "Rise!."
He stares away from the slaves and meet his mother gaze as she glares at him, walking up to the throne with Chums.
Queen Melissa caught him again staring to the slaves and she was slowly loosing her patience.
She thought he was hiding something from them as the constant staring towards the slaves was becoming unbearable for her, but she kept her cools as he didn't refuse Chums like the last time he rejected their former winner, during the last dancing festival which was done ten years ago.
She sighs and walk up to the throne and the elders all walk out with the priest chanting some incantations as they approached Prince Mark where he sat, The priest did the final rituals and crown him as King.
The priest carried the former king's crown up and placed it on crown prince Mark's head and he raises Crown Prince Mark left hand up and commands, "Bow before his royal majesty King Mark Gerald One of the Alpha Clans!."
The excited crowds immediately falls to their knees and bowed their heads lowered to the floor as they worship their new king.
The Priest was still holding crown King Mark's hand up and he commands in his loudest voice, "Rise!" and all the crowds stood up back as the jubilation sound was heard amongst them whistling loudly.
The priest let down King Mark's hand and walks up to Chums whom was standing beside Queen Melissa, He escorted her to her new throne and crown her Queen.
The crowds whistle loudly as they withnessed the crowning of the new king and queen.
The drummers started beating the drums and some set of dancers came out to the center and started dancing happily to entertain the crowd and their new rulers.
Stephanie was all smiles as she whistle loudly to Chums hearing. She blew kisses to her and King Mark only gave a simple nod to Stephanie as he look away from her to stare at Sarah.
Sarah looks away from him as their eyes meet and he knew she was still angry with him for refusing to drink the medicinal herb she made for him, but he wasn't sick.
He wish he could tell her the truth, but like his mother advised him, "Be careful of slow poison, all these people that walks slow you can't trust them," but she was his sister and he trusted her.
He wished he could tell her the truth, but he didn't know how she will react, what if she expose the innocent human and have her killed by his mother, no!. He didn't want any harm towards the beautiful human, more reason he warned his guards to stay away from her and the rest of the new female slaves.
He thought about her and stares to the field and didn't see her there.
"Hmm" his rage boiled and Chums who sat beside him, heard him growl as the drummers where beating the drums loudly.
She knew he wasn't happy to have her as his queen or mate, but she was ready to prove her worth to him.
She smile contentedly as continue to watch the entertaining dancers.
King Mark stares at the slaves that had disperse from their previous standing position and were now serving the crowds drinks as they had a lot of drinks and wines to serve to the guest as the night fell.
He sighed wondering where the white looking human had gone too. She didn't witness his crowning and didn't even bow to him either.
"Hmm" he looks to stare at his mother who was dancing and swirling happily as she stood discussing with her identical twin sister.
He gave a simple nod to the elderly beast-woman as their eyes meet and she walks up to meet him.
"Your majesty!" Lady Elsa bows to him and he nods and replies "Rise!."
She was his aunt and the formality wasn't needed from her.
"Our Queen!" She bows to Chums and his rage growl, but he was trying so hard to control his temper.
He couldn't stand up and leave their presence as he had to wait and continue enjoying the ceremony till the midnight when the ful moon will be out, then they will perform their final rituals and he will be free from the day's stress.
Angela walks back into the women quarters building. Luckily for her, the guards at the front of the building didn't stop her either to question her where she was going too as they thought probably the head lady sent her there.
She quietly walks into the quiet hall and made her way thru the corridor going to the room she shares with the rest of the new captured.
She heard from Lady Annabelle from the first day of her training lesson that after the king's coronation, it will be her turn and the rest of the new slaves to pick turns in bathing him and she hated the thought of that, as it made her restless and made her heart beat faster.
"No, I cannot be summoned like the rest to bath him, not when he keeps staring at me with an expressionless face," Angela spoked to herself as she pace up and down in the women quarters.
The night had fallen and she walks to sit on the bed she shares with Esther. She knew Esther might be searching for her as they had become friends but she couldn't tell Esther that she feels the crown prince or new king was staring at her since in the morning he saw her.
She cannot trust Esther's reaction as Esther might not believe her.
The crown prince was so handsome no doubt why all the women wants him as she has also heard some of her colleagues gossiping about him and some few when they were at the field, she overhead some saying, he has been staring at them since, as some actually thought themselves to be the one he was staring at, not knowing he was actually staring at her.
She heard some saying how they wished to be his mate and bare him kids, they will use the opportunity against him, but he never for once flirt with them or attempt to touch them inappropriate even when they were stark naked with him.
She swallows and started pacing up and down in her room again.
"No, I cannot be naked with him. I cannot do this!" Angela screams getting all worried as she pace up and down, but none of her colleagues had returned and she wonders what was taking them so long to end the festive celebration.
She sighs and walk up to her bed and lay down on top of it. She wished she could escape from the palace with Alex, but she didn't even get to see him throughout her moment at the field, she sighed and later fell asleep on her bed, dreaming.
The full moon came out and the priest did the final rituals as they all walked up to the mountain and hill top, which was his favorite resting position.
The priest did the final incantation and the crowds screamed out in thier loudest beast chant, as the elders stood at the hill top with the crown king and king, while the crowds stood downwards staring upward at them.
After the final ritual was done, King Mark was to hold Chums hands to seal the mating bond between them. His muscles tighten as he knew his people were expecting him to kiss her and carry her back to the castle as part of their tradition to seal their mating bond, but he couldn't do any of that
Touching her hands alone made him stiff and he couldn't bring himself to kiss her. He shook his head and pulls his hand away from hers and told the priest to not worry .
"You can all can return back homes, We will continue with the mating ceremony in my chambers," he spoked to the crowd and Queen Melissa frowns at him, knowing he was avoiding to kiss Chums, she thunders "No!" and the crowd that had already started leaving stopped and stares back to their former Queen.
