Silver Meets Royalty

Chapter 12- Coronation

Imene P.O.V.

Today is the day I've been dreading all month. Hell who am I kidding.. I've been dreading it the moment I realized my mate was the future king. The only thing I'm excited for is that I can finally see my family. The gold shear pack arrived earlier in the week so that I could spend time with my friends and family. Brandon has been still weird towards me like I did something wrong but dad says I shouldn't let it ruin my day. Me and james got to spend time together as well as I recently learned that he got promoted to gamma of the gold shear pack. This following week as been a mix of a blessing and a curse. I enjoyed my quality time with my loved ones however I had to prepare for my upcoming role. The role I'm offically going to have in the next 2 hours.

Mubina, my sisters, and joy are all helping me prepare for the cornation. The very curious part of me was excited to see the other supernatual beings. I never saw vampires,witches, or faires before so I must admit I'm excited to see if my childhood stories are true. After the fight with insia, pack members are either wary around me or super friendly. I don't know how to feel about that since I'm pretty sure the ones that are being super nice to me are most likely afraid of me too. Phoenix has tried to get me to explain how the fight started but I told him to ask her. I guess he did and he chose to believe whatever bullshit she told him. He has been avoiding me ever since so I chose to do the same. We were doing so good I should have known it was too good to be true. Hell nothing perfect ever last.

For all I could care insia could have him. Shay has been sulking ever since; pleading with me to just talk to him. I shouldn't have to explain myself when he is the one who planned someone else to have my rightful spot. Then he chose not to tell me or warn me. He never thought about how I would feel about everything. I know I told him he should ask her to explain but I at least thought he would come to me to confirm but no instead he decided to believe her. whatever bond they had in the past was clearly not in the past if she had so much power over him.

''Hey didn't I tell you to get your beauty rest.'' Joy said breaking me out my thoughts. She was doing my makeup while mubina did my hair. My sisters were somewhere probably taking pictures or with their mates.

''Trust me I know I should've listened but I've been having trouble sleeping.. alone.'' I admitted truthfully. It's been three weeks since the fight with insia and  I haven't been talking to phoenix since then so we went back to sleeping in separate rooms.

''I know the feeling. Ever since I found dre I haven't been able to sleep without him either. It's like after the first time you can't do it alone anymore it's truly amazing how powerful the mate bond can be.'' Joy said with a big smile and a dreamy look on her face  no doubt thinking about her mate.

''Yea... let's just get this over with.'' I  huffed as I wasn't in the mood for her cheery attitude.

''You know.. this is just the beginning. After the coronation you will be queen and have thousands of people depending on you for leadership. Going through with the coronation is basically accepting your fate.'' Mubina finally spoke up. She has been quiet all day.

''Yes yes I know I just wish everyone will stop reminding me. I know I'm supposed to be happy I just thought that by now me and Phoenix would be stable and i... i would feel ready.'' I admitted feeling like I couldn't hold my brave face right now.

Joy finished up my face and looked at me before reaching for my hands. ''Imene you are ready. I have seem you grow more in a month than you ever did at gold shear. You just need to believe in yourself the same way I do.. the same way phoenix believes in you. That boy loves you and as been asking me about you any time he sees me.'' joy said as she squeezed my hand slightly.
