Thank you @skytenicia for the feedback on my story! I'm glad you loved everything about the book! I'm glad you liked Regina, Sydney, Jason, Antonio, Alessia, and Andrew from my Gang Love series!

"Do we have to do this?" I begged and whined to Xavier. "I really don't need to see this."

He sighed as I pouted my lip. "Don't give me that look, Dulce. We have to its tradition. I already got in trouble for not doing it with you so yes this has to happen."

"But I don't want to see my best friend fuck his girlfriend."

"And I don't want to see my little sister fuck your best friend," he growled. I looked down at the ground. He rubbed his forehead. "Please stop complaining. This is happening whether we like it or not. We don't have to intensely watch but we do have to be present." he gently grabbed my chin lifting it up to look at him. "You're Queen Luna, you have less choice in matters like these now."

I wrapped my arms around his neck. He placed his hands on my hips. "You're right, I'm sorry."

"Serena laid out a dress for you," he said. He ran his hand along my side. "I saw it and you're gonna look really good in it." I smiled. I walked into the bedroom and put on the dress. He walked in looking me up and down. "And I was wrong." I pouted. "You look stunning, absolutely breathtaking."

The dress was dark purple in color with sparkles, it looked like a galaxy. It pooled at my feet. The straps wrapped around my neck and the v-cut went to just above my belly button. I smiled at it. I walked into the bathroom doing my hair and makeup. I walked back out to the bedroom to see Xavier laying on the bed. He was now wearing a black and white tuxedo. I sat down beside him running my hand through his hair. "So there's no way we can get out of this?" he opened one eye shaking his head. I sighed. "I just thought I'd ask again."

"Afterwards we can sneak away into the kitchen for ice cream."

"You're not too busy?" I asked.

"Of course not, I always have time for you."

"Not lately." He works with Serena all day, taking a break to eat lunch with me. I stay up late to shower and sleep with him at night but he doesn't have a lot of time for me during the day. Even when I do get to sit with him in meetings, he's too engrossed in whatever we are working on to really be paying attention to me. The only time I've been the center of his attention lately is at night when we have sex before bed. I do love sex but I miss him.

He sighed sitting up. I crawled in between his legs laying against his chest. "You're right, I've been working a lot. I'm sorry. How about I ditch Serena tomorrow and spend the whole day with you?"

"Really?" I asked looking up at him. He nodded. I smiled. "I'd like that."

"But first we need to get through this ceremony." I groaned. We both stood up. He wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked downstairs. The throne room was now darkly lit by candles around the room. There was a bed a few feet in front of the thrones with a sheer covering that would provide some privacy. Alice walked over to us. "Hello, mother."

"My king, Luna," she said bowing her head. She grabbed one of each of our hands. "Do you both know what you are doing?"

I nodded. "Bless them with the holy water and then watch them like creeps." Xavier pinched my side. "Oww," I whined. "Am I wrong?"

"At least you're not the one who has to do it. I remember when I had to do it with Percival. He invited his whole council to watch and I was much younger than you were."

"Do you miss him?" I asked. Ever since Xavier banned him and stripped him of his titles, Alice has only seen him at my coronation.

She gave me a sad smile. "I miss his wolf but not him." She leaned forward kissing my cheek and then leaned up to kiss Xavier's.
