You Rejected Me. Remember?

Chapter 34



Narrator

Days passed. The invitations were sent and the preparations for the wedding and the coronation began. When the invitations arrived at the dark howl pack, the former alpha and luna were ecstatic. It was always an honour to be invited to a royal ceremony in the Lycan kingdom. However, their excitement involved a hidden hope that their son might find his mate there. He had already travelled to almost all the packs on the continent.

It was extremely rare to be paired with a Lycan. However, if they were, it would be a privilege. The three leaders prepared themselves to leave for the grand ceremony. Castor, his mate, Nolan and Miles. There were still two more slots, so the high alpha and luna decided to go with the young group of leaders.

Miles wasn’t very enthusiastic about attending the coronation ceremony. For him, it was a waste of time. However, he didn’t protest against his parents.

And since the coronation ceremony was the wedding of the crown princess as well, the high alpha and luna were extremely eager to attend it.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

They arrived at the Lycan kingdom on that day and were escorted to their table. They realised that all the alphas of the werewolf packs were put in groups, while each of the separate kingdoms had their tables a little distance away from them.

Amazed by the presence of different mystical creatures, Miles and his friends looked around. They studied the vampire king’s remarkably pale face while his bright red lips stood out. The dragon king screamed power as he sat on his seat as if he owned the entire place. The Fae king looked rather slim and graceful with huge wings protruding from his back. Despite his slim build, everyone knew it would be better if they stayed out of their way. He was the king of a great kingdom for a reason. And then, lastly, the wizard king. He looked just like a normal human. Yet, he was the perfect example of deceitful sight. His aura was extremely dangerous and influential.

It was beautiful that all the kingdoms lived in the mystical world in harmony. Although occasional disputes rose, they managed to settle them without going into a huge war. The biggest problems the werewolves faced were from their kind, the rogues. The disobedient and rebellious wolves, who refused to accept their leaders.

Miles inhaled, smiling to himself, finding himself admiring the kings and queens of different kingdoms. He knew that being the alpha of a werewolf pack also meant a lot of authority. Frowning, he looked around. He had not seen the Lycan king and queen yet.

Perhaps they were waiting to make a grand entrance. He thought.

Nolan felt the excitement of his wolf. It had been a while since he was enthusiastic. He had never been this thrilled about an event, ever since he was announced as the beta of his pack. But this time, things were different. Though he couldn’t lay his finger on the real reason, his gut feeling told him so.

Perhaps his excitement was because this was a historical event. He told himself. He sat back and tried his best to relax and tried his best to swallow the passion rising in his heart.

Cassy pov.

I stood in front of the mirror, studying my reflection. The delicate lace of the white wedding dress I wore flowed down gracefully. It hugged my figure perfectly. Its full-length sleeves made it modest enough, although it had a deep cut neckline.

I traced my fingers on the glimmering white stone of the necklace mom gave me to wear. This was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. I was elated beyond words. After all, I was about to be married to the man of my dreams.

However, I simply couldn’t stop thinking about Nolan and my adoptive parents. My besties had always stood by my side in the pack.

I had always imagined that they would always be beside me. But alas, fate had taken an unexpected turn.

If I had the power, I would have taken this ceremony to the pack, where they also could be a part of it. However, I couldn’t.

Being the crown Princess may look very appealing to others. In reality, it means that you must give up a lot of things you want to do. It simply means you cannot live a normal life. Your entire life will be full of expectations, rules and regulations.

I sighed. I had no complaints. Just that I missed the family I had grown up in.

“Are you ready my dear?” Mom peeked in the room. I looked at her through the mirror. Her face instantly fell as she clicked her tongue.

“Carina, you are still staring at your reflection! You must be wearing your veil now! It is time already!” She furrowed her eyebrows as she picked up the white lace veil.

“All the girls left because you said you would do it. But here you are, just like how we left you.” She complained as she started to place it on my head.

“Is it time to go already?” I asked, gulping anxiously. I was nervous for more than one reason.

It was my wedding and I was bound to be nervous anyway.

Mom chuckled and continued to make sure that the veil was fixed well to my hair.

“Honey, I think you are feeling the wedding jitters. We all do. Relax. You will be fine.” She stated.

I sighed. “I miss Nolan and the others,” I admitted.

“Nolan?”

“My brother. In the family I grew up in. I wish I could see them again,” I told her.

She pursed her lips as her forehead wrinkled with concern through the reflection in the mirror.

“Maybe…..you could go and meet them back in the pack?” She mumbled. “Now don’t think about that, Carina. Everyone is waiting for you.” She smiled and turned me around so that I could face her.

“You look stunning, my dear. Now go in there and just relax. Your father is already waiting for you. You don’t want to make Elliot think that you changed your mind, do you?” She checked as she spoke.

I took a deep breath. My erratic heart didn’t calm down. Regardless of how I felt, I knew I had to stay relaxed. I would be walking down the aisle in front of all the leaders of the mystical world. I certainly didn’t want to mess things up.

When I walked outside, my father was already waiting for me.

“My beautiful daughter.” He smiled, kissing the back of my hand. As I walked forward, my eyes focused on the person who had captured my heart. Standing beside his father, his eyes shining as his lips stretched into a broad grin, he was the one who was meant for me. And that was all that mattered to me.

The crowd that was gathered, nor the stares I received mattered. I knew everyone was watching as Elliot took my hand and we stood in front of the minister. I knew every ear was attentively listening to our vows. And I knew the entire crowd was bearing witness to me, the crown princess marrying the love of my life.

I was simply glad that no one tried to object or create problems.

Everything went smoothly and we were announced, husband and wife.

As I turned around, I noticed my friends grinning from ear to ear as they cheered silently.

At first, they were shocked to know that I was engaged to Elliot. However, their excitement surpassed their amazement and soon, they were all preparing for the wedding and the coronation.

The minister then led us towards the thrones that were prepared on the stage. When I sat on the throne, I had a full view of all the attendees. I saw the kings of the different kingdoms, the alphas of various packs. My friends were seated beside the royal family since they were my special guests.

My eyes zeroed on the group of alphas present at the ceremony. The hall was vast and well-spaced, however, being a. Lycan helped me see each of them well enough.

When my eyes landed on the specific alpha I was hoping that would witness this, I smirked internally.

“Izzy, do you see that?” I asked.

“Oh yes! Oh God, he looks so royally confused.” She laughed.

I couldn’t even laugh out loud. Seeing him stare at me as though he had seen a ghost was hilarious! This was priceless, yet I had to keep a straight face. Izzy went silent for some time, I suppose because the minister started to speak. He kept blabbering about things that sounded alien to me. I was lost in my thoughts.

“Hey….is that Nolan?” Suddenly Izzy blurted out.

Huh?

I almost jumped up from the throne. Still keeping my face void of emotions, I scanned through the crowd.

My heart skipped a beat when my eyes landed on the frowning face of the brown-haired, blue-eyed young man who I called my brother. He was here! He was here!

I gripped the handle of my throne. I wanted to run down the stage and hug him tight. I wanted to cry for all the days I had missed them. But then, I couldn’t. I would have to be patient.

I saw the minister pick up the crown and come towards me.

“Hereby, I crown thee, Queen Carina, of the great lycanthrope kingdom!” He announced and the whole crowd broke into a round of applause.

I felt good bumps and a cold shiver ran down my spine at the moment I was crowned as the queen.

“And hereby, I crown thee, Sir Elliot, as the royal Prince of the great Lycan kingdom.”

He announced, placing his crown on his head. Since he was not a b***d relative to my father, he couldn’t be crowned as the king.

The place boomed with the sound of their applause. I held my head up high and smiled at the people in front of me.

My parents were smiling, with tears in their eyes, while my friends too looked as though they had won the lottery.

I smiled inwardly. I was the Queen now, which meant I now had a huge responsibility on my shoulders.

I watched as the food caterers started to serve delicacies to the guests. My eyes kept darting at the table where Nolan sat. I realised that the high alpha and luna, Castor and another girl who I guessed was Castor’s mate were all murmuring among themselves. Miles also sat beside them. However, he seemed to be too perplexed to join in their discussions.

I smirked. Things were going my way now. I just couldn’t wait to meet them separately. I knew I had to.

Perhaps I could invite them to meet me after this ceremony is over. I need to speak to Nolan and the others. They need to know the truth.
