VICTORIA'S POV

"I, Victoria Carla Gibberson-" I started, however, before I could utter the words I had been aiming to say, since last month, a large hand clamped on our mouth, stopping us from speaking anything further. ​​

"I think we need to talk alone about this Victoria. Yeah? Let's not talk about it right now. Please?" Alexander said with glistening eyes.

It broke my heart to see him like this, but I wanted to say those words so that we can get past this phase and get this over with.

'Just get it over with Victoria You are scaring the guy." Carla shouted from inside my head.

'I was doing that only. It's him, who stopped me in between.' I remarked before rolling my eyes.

Oh, did I forgot to mention that, while I was doing the things that Carla had been instructing me to do, and was having a tough time outside, Carla and joy were relaxing inside my mind.

'She is playing him, I am telling you.' Joy remarked before popping some invisible thing in her mouth, like a gesture of eating popcorns.

"Alexander, why are you even talking to her. She is not worth it. Besides, who allowed this human to enter the gates of the mansion when a ceremony this important is going on? Alexander, this is your crowning ceremony. Have you forgotten, if the time is over and the full moon is up completely, you'll have to wait for another year for the ceremony?" Laila said as she came near him and held his arm.

"Ahhh...the nerve of this girl. Haven't your parents taught you, not to touch other's things without permission?" I asked, before taking her hand that was touching Alexander's in mine, as I raised it in the air. Well, she was shorty compared to me.

"Aish, what if I don't want to listen to your shit? Don't you know to keep quiet when someone is talking, besides, why are you even standing here?" I asked as I looked at Alexander with a quirked brow, who was still in shock, thinking, that I am going to reject him today.

"Alexander! Who is this girl, talking to my daughter like this! And, why are you all standing, doing nothing? Have you forgotten that she will become the Luna if he doesn't find his mate within six months? Are you letting a human touch your future Luna like this?" Suddenly an old man stood and shout from amidst the crowd.

"She? Luna? Alexander's wife? Seriously? From what angle, is she suitable?" I asked as I scrutinized her.

"From this angle?" I asked before I broke the arm that she had used to hold Alexander's arms while smirking at the old man who dared to tell at us earlier.

As soon as I broke her arm, an ear-piercing scream echoed in the hall which made me wince, since, I was closest to her.

"AHH...keep the voice down, so where was I? Yeah, I don't like your arrangements of making her the Luna. I won't let it happen. Stop me if you can." I said before I pushed her back, which result in her hitting the pillar behind her.

"Alexander who is this girl and why aren't you saying anything while she is disrespecting so many elders here by acting like that? Please ask her to go out. We don't want to be harsh on this human." The other lady who looked in her late forties suddenly said.

"Mom, I-...she..." Alexander stuttered as he looked for words to describe my position in his life.

'Well aren't we the reason for him acting like that? If we had sorted things out on that day only, it wouldn't have come to this situation in the first place.' Carla said.

'What can I say, you both are stupid, aren't you?' Joy said, which made Carla scoff, but this time she didn't say anything else.

'Shutup! Let me handle this matter here first.' I told them, before putting up the barrier of our mind.

"You guys keep distracting me, don't you?" I said before I looked back at Alexander.

"What I was intending to say before I was stopped harshly was, I, Victoria Carla Gibberson, mate of Alexander hunter, accepts Alexander hunter as my rightful mate, my soul mate and my other half for the rest of my life," I said, without a single emotion on my face, as everyone in the audience gasped at my words.

"Now that you know my position in his life and, I hope you'll stop calling me an outsider, and her as the insider in his life. Please throne him, now." I said to the man and woman who have been standing there for quite some time without any reaction or emotion on their face.

"Are you serious?! Tell me this is true!" Alexander suddenly exclaimed as he stopped the man who was about to put the crown on his head.

"Do you think I am joking? Do you want me to take back my words? Or do you want me to make out with you in front of everyone to prove you as mine?" I asked as I couldn't keep the smile off my face anymore.

Before I could say anything else, he suddenly hugged me in front of everyone and all my confidence from earlier, left my body, as sparks started to flow between us, which made me blush as I knew everyone was probably looking at us right now.

"Now come back here, before I decide that it's better to throne this girl here. Let's begin the ceremony. You have a lot to explain young boy." The man, who looked unbelievably familiar said in a reprimanding way to Alexander before he made him sit on the throne.

Placing the crown on his head, he nodded at Alexander before cutting the middle of his palm followed by cutting his own. He placed his hand on top of Alexander's and let their blood mix, as he announced,

"Please welcome your new alpha king Alexander hunter."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the blood that was on their palms suddenly turned blue before evaporating in the air, as everyone started cheering since the ceremony was done.

Looking at Alexander's bold and strong aura that had a hint of happiness, I couldn't help but feel happy for him.

I was so proud of my man.

You guys got that right, he was finally my man now.

Clapping along with everyone, I looked beside me where an angry Laila whose hand was probably already healed was looking at me with a piercing gaze. I couldn't help but scoff at her attitude.

'She looks awfully angry.' Joy commented.

'Well who wouldn't, when you were about to become the queen but couldn't?' Carla scoffed at her, which resulted in a new fight between them.

Sometimes I feel like two kids are living inside my head.

As I was lost in my thoughts, I suddenly felt someone pulling me and before I could react, I was sitting on Alexander's lap, while he looked at me with a proud and loving gaze.

"Look in front if you don't want to look like a lovesick puppy in the photo." He said, which made me turn and look in front as I tried to adjust my sitting position to look more confident and presentable in the photo.

"You better stop moving Ria. I don't want to jump on you tonight. It will be too soon, and I don't think you are ready for that." Suddenly Alexander commented, which made me look at him wide-eyed with my reddened face.

However, as soon as I turned to look at him, he also looked at me which resulted in our lips touching each other.

"Perfect! You both look good!" The person who was taking the photo's suddenly exclaimed, which made us look at everyone who was laughing while looking at us.

"You planned it, didn't you?" I whisper yelled at Alexander, to which he replied with another sweet kiss on my cheeks.

"I didn't plan it. But I do think that to commemorate my happiness that I was crowned by my mate on my side, I should take some pictures like these." He said before he placed his hand on my stomach and hugged me from behind as I placed my head on his chest.

After two more photos, I stood from his lap, as it was getting really uncomfortable sitting like that, while everyone including many elders was constantly gazing at us.

"Let's begin the feast after the oath." The man who was appearing familiar to me said as everyone who had stood earlier during the crowning process sat in their seats waiting for Alexander to take his oath.

As I was waiting for Alexander to start the oath, the man who was looking familiar came to me, before whispering,

"We meet again young lady."
