Natalie POV
I couldn't be more grateful that the entire community readily accepted me as their king's mate and their Queen. The whole week was packed with work and different kinds of training. Both of us were busy, yet managed to spend a few minutes together before falling asleep.
A week passed and the day of the ceremony arrived. Shawn wanted to invite all the alphas of the werewolf packs under his kingdom, however, I was not interested in seeing Alan and Tina in the ceremony. Hence upon my request, he refrained from inviting the alphas. However, he invited the kings and Queens of other kingdoms; the fairies, dragons, and vampires.
I stared at my reflection. No amount of prep talking prepared me for the moment that was about to arrive shortly.
"We can do this," I mumbled to myself, trying to calm my racing heart. Yet, it continued to thud frantically in my ribcage.
