^^^ Alyssa's coronation dress and crown.

Alyssa got dressed into a silver gown for her coronation and a small diamond tiara was placed on her head. It would later be changed out for the Luna crown but for now this is what she had.

Her nerves were starting to get to her and she called Jordan to their room where she resided.

"Alyssa what-.....you look stunning." Jordan said, picking his jaw up off of the floor.

"Thank you but I'm kinda panicking here." Alyssa said impatiently.

"Why?"

Alyssa was about to answer but instead she ran to the bathroom and began to hurl. Jordan came in quickly behind her and held her hair back.

When she was done, Alyssa wiped her mouth off and re-brushed her teeth.

"Sorry." She apologized.

"You don't have anything to apologize for, what's wrong Lyssa?"

"Are all of the Alphas going to be here?"

"Yeah? And most of their Betas. Why?"

"Because do you know how many packs I've destroyed, 12... 12 of the 34 packs in North America."

Jordan let out a sigh, almost one of relief and said,

"Alyssa, I've already talked to the Alphas and while they are mad, they support you fully. You are their Alpha Queen."

Alyssa let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and hugged Jordan saying,

"Thank You."

"You're Welcome. I love you Lyssa."

"I love you too."

Jordan left Ayssa alone again, her nerves significantly diminished.

Finally, it was 11 o'clock and the procession started. Alyssa followed Jordan out and sucked in a breath as she studied the audience.

She avoided eye contact with the Alphas and Lunas she knew and just kept her gaze forward.

One of the Elders stood at the front and when she came to the front he began saying,

"Kneel."

Alyssa did so and the Elder continued,

"Alyssa Wilder is mated to our King, Jordan Parks. He has accepted her and already marked her. The Moon goddess has given us our Queen and now I must ask if anyone will challenge Alyssa's rightful place as Alpha Queen."

Silence grew around the room and when no one said anything the Elder drew the Luna's sword. It was a beautiful sword and Alyssa could tell it was quite balanced.

The Elder placed it on each of Alyssa's shoulders as he asked the assembly,

"Do you recognize Alyssa Wilder as your Alpha Queen?"

"Yes." They replied in unison.

"Will you obey the orders of the Alpha Queen, as though it is coming from the Moon goddess?"

"Yes." They replied.

"Do you accept Alyssa Wilder as your Queen?"

"Yes." They all said once again.

The Elder put the sword away and gently lifted the tiara off of Alyssa's head and exchanged it for a diamond studded crown with deep purple gemstones.

The Elder then announced,

"I give you your Alpha Queen."

Alyssa turned around to the crowd who were now all on one knee.

Alyssa grinned at Jordan who was also on one knee, recognizing his Luna. He smiled back at her and then stood up.

Taking her arm, he led her back down the aisle. Row by row, the wolves stood back up as Alyssa passed them.

Next, was the reception which Alyssa truly did not want to go to.

"Do I have to?" Alyssa whined like a five year old.

"Yes Lyssa you do."

Alyssa pouted but quickly stopped when she saw Daniel. He ran over to her and she picked him up.

"Hey buddy. Did you behave for uncle Xavier?"

"No." Xavier grumbled.

Alyssa let out a small laugh and said,

"That's my boy."

Xavier glared at Alyssa and people started to file in.

"Do I have to greet everyone?" Alyssa asked, hopeful she wouldn't have to talk with the different Alphas.

"Yes, now let's go." Jordan said, dragging Alyssa by her arm.

The evening went by extraordinarily slowly and each Alpha pledged their felty to Alyssa. Including the 12 who pretty much hated her.

Every wolf had gone on one knee and Alyssa had to try not to make a scene when someone she depisded came in front of her.

"My Queen." Paxton greeted.

"What are you doing?" Alyssa hissed.

"Making up for past actions." Paxton said sadly.

Alyssa glanced around the room to make sure no one was watching her intently and then asked,

"What are you really doing?"

Paxton sighed, his head still looking down at the floor.

"I want to apologize for what I did to you...your father paid me quite a sum of money to make you a true warrior. Which isn't an excuse but I am actually sorry Alyssa. My proof? A blood bond to you as Queen."

Alyssa was shocked to say the least. She looked over to Jordan for some sort of help but he just shrugged.

"What should I do, Jordan?" Alyssa asked through the link.

"He's offering a blood bond, maybe you should take it. He might be useful." Jordan said honestly.

Turning back to Paxton, Alyssa said,

"Meet me outside the palace after the reception and we will talk."

"Thank you, my Queen." He said standing up and walking away.

Xavier walked up to Alyssa and asked,

"What was Paxton doing here?"

"Asking forgiveness." Alyssa said in a bewildered tone.

"What did you do?" Xavier asked.

"I don't know." Alyssa said honestly.

"I know you'll make the right choice." Xavier said, kissing the top of her head.

Daniel had followed Xavier over and stood at Alyssa's side. Alyssa was about to say something when a loud crash came from the front of the palace.

Everyone in the ballroom ran to the place of the crash and inside stood a rogue with a knife to his throat who said,

"King Spencer sends his regards to the new Queen. He also said to be prepared because tomorrow....you all will die."

Then the rogue slit his own throat and fell to the ground. Dead.

* * * * *

Opps?

Paxton showing up, dead rogue on the floor of the palace, this is just all going really great don't you think?

Please don't kill me.
