Star-Crossed Alphas ✔️

Chapter 38

Most people had forgotten about Joanna Capulet and Mickail Montague. Once, a long time ago, they had been in the line of succession for the Alpha position in their respective packs. But they had fallen in love and their fathers had driven them apart, keeping them separated for decades to come so they could wait for their deaths. Just like Romeo and Juliet they had been true mates. Pair together by the Moon Goddess.

The packs were told they had died. A lie fed to them for a long time, but now no more.

"And who are you?" the Alpha King asks curious

"Your Royal Highness my name is Joanna Capulet, and this is my mate Mickail Montague." she says calmly "If my mate is correct, I believe you may have heard of us. "By the gasps in the crowd they knew they had shocked a good number of people. "If my mate is correct, I believe you are already familiar with our life story.

"Yes." he confirmed "Romeo Montague explained to me your situation, although I was not aware that your circumstances had changed." he says approaching them

"My great granddaughter and her mate were very clever. They knew that telling their fathers of their relationship would be dangerous so they made sure that we would be free of the bounds that the pack had enforce on us and allowed us to reunite." Joanna Capulet explained looking lovingly at her mate.

"I am glad that you had that chance" he says sincere "But was it that you mean when you said that this story can have a different ending?"

"Violent passions can have violent endings" Mickail says looking at the bodies of their great grandchildren. "Now more than ever we can see how true those words are but that doesn't mean that it has to be this way."

"The Moon Goddess herself pairs the werewolves with their better half." Joanna ads "She paired us a long time ago and although we did not live the life she had envision for us she has allowed us to give meaning to our life by giving it to someone else, someone who deserves to live the life she has envision for them."

"A great life."Mickail affirms "Full of great things."

"And how would this deed be done?" the King asks intrigued

"Well...if you are anything like your late father I gather you have in your entourage a witch you can assist us?" Joanna asks knowingly

"That is correct." the King affirms "But I would need to know what she is to do if you require her assistance."

"It's quite simple Your Majesty." Joanna says smirking "Your witch is going to kill us."

The church went silent.

"I'm afraid I'm going to need more information." the King says trying not to give too much away. He really had a great poker face.

"We will exchange our lives for theirs." Mickail explained "Nature won't be undisturbed. A true mate pair will die and a true mate pair will live."

"Miranda" the king calls out. A blond haired woman approaches the king. Her skin as white as snow contrasted in a wonderful way with her bright hair. "Is this possible? Could you perform such a spell?"

"The spell is possible my king" she confirms "But the spell can only be performed beneath the full moon to receive the blessing of the Moon Goddess."

The Kings nods.

"And are you sure you wish to proceed with this deed? Think wisely before answering, there will be no turning back once we start."

"We are sure" they answer at the same time

"Then it will be done" he states "Juliet and Romeo will be resurrected tonight when the moon is at it's highest. Say your goodbyes until then."

The church erupts in cheers. They were all happy that they would have their beloved young leaders back. Their parents apologized numerous time to the elderly couple for the actions committed against them during all these years and would be forever in their depth for the gift they were giving them.

The elderly couple did not want their gratitude, they only wanted a promise, that they would let Juliet and Romeo and any other couple who which to love one another independently of their pack love freely. With no judgment. As the Moon Goddess gives she can also take back, they warned. The parents took their warning seriously and vowed never to interfere in the matters of the heart like they had before.

When night came, the bodies had been moved to the forest. Both bodies laid on the ground surrounded by a circle of ashes. Miranda stood behind them next to a table, where a bowl and a knife were contained.

There was a smaller audience now. Only the Alphas and their wives and the Alpha King, along with some of his guards, were present.

"The moon is at it's highest point" Miranda says indicating the beginning of the ceremony. "Joanna Capulet and Mickail Montague step into the circle" she commands

They do so with their hands holding each other and with kind and decisive smiles in their faces.

Miranda starts pronouncing a few words in Latin. A chant of some sort. In a twist of magic her eyes seem to have fire in them and the circle of ashes catches on fire. She steps right into the fire. The bowl and the knife safe in her hands.

"Do you make this exchange willingly and knowingly?" she asks Joanna approaching her.

"I do" she answers without hesitance

"Then make your offering" she instructs giving her the knife

Joanna releases Mickail's hand and takes the knife. Slowly she makes a cut in her left hand and lets the blood drip into the bowl. The fire around the circle seems to intensify. She turns to Mickail.

"Do you make this exchange willingly and knowingly?" she asks him

And also without hesitation he answers "I do"

"Then make your offering" she instructs

He follows in Joanna footsteps and cuts his palm, pouring his blood in the bowl mixing with hers. Again the fire became brighter. The spectators could barely see beyond the fire.

"The offering has been made" she says "The blood has mingled and an exchange has been asked"

She starts chanting again, this time louder.

Mickail kisses Joanna's hand lovingly

"It's time for our next adventure" he says

And then we could see their spirit wolves leaving their bodies. Both spirit animals looked back once and then they ran into the sky towards the moon. Their bodies became ash, and in a fleeting moment when the chants stop and the fire burn out. The world stood still. No one dare to breathe, or make a single noise in anticipation.

And then Juliet sucked in a breath, and then another.

Romeo gasped awake.

Both lovers were awake. 

They are ALIVEEEEE! Where you ever afraid that I had actually killed them? Of course I wouldn't do that! I'm a sucker for happy endings.
This was the last chapter, I will be posting an Epilogue so I can give this story the proper ending it deserves.
