"You have two choices" I held up two fingers as I spoke to the large crowd of wolves in front of me.
"Stay in the pack and accept that I am your new Alpha and Rayne Carter is your Luna...." I glanced back at Rayne who was blushing profusely.
We had discussed about what she wanted her position to be and she settled with Luna, also we talked about...'us' and I told her about my past.
Including everything about my mother and she understood why I acted the way I did, not before giving me a hard slap to the face of course. Yeah yeah, I deserved it.
"Or" I continued, looking at each and every one of them, assuring that they all understood how serious I am.
"Leave now and become a rogue,but remember. If we ever cross paths, I won't hesitate to kill you."
I heard a few gasps and whispers amongst them.
In the end, about 5 members of the Red Moon Pack left to be rogues and the rest stayed, now becoming a part of my pack as I newly merged the two together to make one.
I nodded at them and sent them a small smile.
"I will not hurt anyone of you. I treat my pack members like family because that is what we are, a family. Just don't piss me off."
"Yes Alpha." They all replied in unison and I dismissed them.
I rubbed my temples in a weak attempt to rid of the new forming headache that was threatening to show its face.
Warm soft hands found their way around my torso, forcing the unwanted headache away.
"Better?" Rayne asked and I nodded as I took one of her hands and brought it up to my lips, kissing it gently.
"Much. Thank you Rayne."
She released me and I turned to see her smiling face, which I cupped gently with my hand as she leaned into my touch.
"Come on. We have to prepare for the ceremony." She said as she grabbed my hand and pulled hard but I didn't budge from my spot.
"Trying to pull an Alpha are we?"
"Shut up and come on." She said, rolling her eyes.
I chuckled and followed her.
~·~
"This tie is too tight!" I said, moving the tie around constantly.
Well, I think at this point I'm fighting with it. Suits and ties aren't my thing but coronation ceremonies unfortunately require you to wear a suit, especially if you're the one it is for.
"Stop it Quinny! Relax already. It starts in a few minutes." Rose said in an obviously irritated voice but I just rolled my eyes.
Rayne came down the stairs, with a long white flowing dress and silver flats as well as small white flowers scattered around the bun in her hair.
She looks...beautiful.
"Quinn, helloooo?"
I blinked a few times and noticed she was standing right in front of me with a raised brow.
Nikolai moved in front of Rayne, who was standing beside Quinn and asked her the same questions.
"Yes I do." She replied, surprising Quinn and well as herself with how strong her voice came out considering how nervous she was.
Nikolai then sliced their palms with a medium sized blade, mixing their blood together as it dripped into a golden cup.
Quinn's wolf was growling at him within his subconscious. Something was wrong.
Once more, he scanned the crowd and the large forest behind them.
Nothing.
He saw nothing, but he felt that something was wrong.
"Quinn" Rayne whispered to him. "Are you okay?
"Something's not right..." He mumbled, only loud enough for Nikolai and Rayne to hear.
"What is it Quinn?" Nikolai asked him via their link and Quinn growled in return.
Suddenly, a specific scent hit him and his head snapped to the west of the pack grounds, to see a large group of wolves approaching from a fair distance.
He yelled the one word that made his fighters growl in anger and the Red Moon Pack members groan and scream in fear.
"Rogues!"
