CHARTER THREE. CONFLICT AT THE DINNER AND BALL.

JOHN'S POV

For the last hour Tonya and I have greeted more royal wolves from around the world than I knew existed. Not to mention many of the American Alphas and everyone brought their daughters and granddaughters as well as their nieces in hopes of one of them being my mate or meeting another royal who is their mate.

It is finally time to eat. As we go to the dining hall to be seated I notice everyone jockeying for the seats closer to the head. Tonya sees that people are changing the seating arrangements and gets one of the trumpeter to blow three quick blast. She then tells everyone that table has a table host and no one will be served at that table till everyone is in their right place and the only one who can change the seating is the Crown Prince.

I am at the center of the head table with my mini throne. At my left is Dick and to my right is the smaller throne which is considered the Queen's throne. Usually Tonya sets there but I notice she is headed to the table with her parents. I link her and ask her why she isn't in her regular seat. As she sits down she links me and very humbly tells me it is no longer hers but my mate's seat.

I look at Dick and ask him if everything is ready and he tells me that it is. I link Tonya again and ask her to join me at the head table and again very humbly she shakes her head and notes it is no longer her seat. Once every one is seated they notice the seat next to me is empty. The murmurs start up about why I haven't chosen someone to start at my right. I clear my throat and get everyone's attention.

"Tonya Wolfe would you please take your normal seat to my right." I say but this time there is a hint of Royal Command in it. I hear gasp and more mumbling now, which just makes me mad.

"Might I remind everyone that I am the King in this kingdom." I wait for the noise to quiet down again as a red faced Tonya makes her way from the back table to the front.

"I would also like to say how much I personally appreciate how Tonya stepped up on that dreadful day 8 years ago and took charge of this kingdom. Because of her fairness and steadfastness every American Alpha in this room between the ages of 18 and 25 is alive today and did not die in the same bombing that took my parents, her mate and many of your parents. Not only that, once she felt the link break she took quick action and got all of us to safety despite the fact that her own heart was ripped out. In the days that followed she single-handedly organized and arranged for the funerals of the Royal Family, the arrangements for every royal family who attended said funerals and transportation of all the dead back to their pack lands. On top of this she brought together the elder board of alphas and turned them from an advisory council to a ruling council while still having a newborn and a 6 year old. She is the reason that those rogues did not succeed in destroying this kingdom and never once did she take any credit for what SHE did. She was 22 at that time. So if I ever hear one word spoken negatively against Tonya Wolfe it will be considered treason in my kingdom regardless of who you are and a declaration of war if spoken by another royal family. HAVE I MADE HAVE MYSELF CLEAR!!! If you want to know more then ask your elder board members or the alphas whose life she saved that day. Tonya has taught me to never give up. She has brought both hope and love back into my life and the life of everyone she touches. I would also like to thank King Evan and Queen Mary Moon for raising such an amazing and humble daughter.

"So as I take the reigns of my kingdom I can only hope and pray that I will live up to the example she set. I look forward to being able to calling on her wisdom for many years to come.

"Tonya as you have taught me to so for the 14 years you have been in my life would you ask God to bless this food and invited Him into this celebration."

As Tonya offers up her thanksgiving and ask for God's continued blessings I put the contents of each vial into a different toast glass. I know when the toast are to be offered and it will take about an hour to go through her system.

At this point no one knows who my chosen mate is or if I have met my true mate. Everyone will find that out at the ceremony tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After everyone has eaten and all the toast are over I lead Tonya to the dance floor for the opening dance.

"Tonya do you love me?" I ask her.

"God help me but I do. But John you promised you would not reject your mate. You also told me you found her." She said as she quickly left the dance floor.
