Kaya’s POV.
“Has anyone never been mated to three werewolves before?” I ask Luna Olivia, and she tsks in disagreement right before she glances at my reflection through the mirror.
Olivia begins with a laugh, which results in a fixation of cease on the skin of my forehead. “Truth be told, a fidelity of love you are. I may be a Luna, but I learn a lot from you. I, for one, would have rejected three mates. It’d be a fucking confusion for me.”
She isn’t being offensive, though. For the past few hours, we have been having a conversation about how I manage to accept the triplets, but for me, I just can’t say. I think it all has to do with love. Well, they say love is blind, so perhaps that is what I am.
Perhaps unlike her, I do not see them as three beings but rather as one, and so far, each time I see the triplets, my inside runs with my heart beating fast. They make my hormones anxious, and my stomach erupts with blue butterflies.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
It is an intoxicating feeling.
“But today is a big day, Kaya.” Olivia pats my cheeks from behind me.
Her hands entwine with mine, and she helps me stand up in my most astounding gown. The dress streams down my body, entirely dragging through the floor as I walk.
Exhaling with my parted lips, the sides are crinkled as they part wide in a showcase of utter delight. At the same time, I suffer from anxiety and my head feels light, but I keep telling myself that it’s all because of my happiness.
And yes, I am happy.
“You’re going to be Luna, today, Kaya. I am sure you’re so proud of what you are soon to become.” As Olivia whispers into my ears, we are now standing at the end of the room.
Just ahead of us is the throne room, where the mating ceremony will take place. We are separated from it by only the thin curtains.
“I can feel the bursting vibrance within me. I can feel the powers of the witches before me. Indeed, they are proud, Olivia. They’ve never wanted as much harmony as what we are about to do today. This is going to be a history that the world will remember for centuries to come.” Olivia’s brows rise, amused by my certainty.
“Well, let’s start by enjoying today first, my Luna.” She bows lightly, and I laugh.
Now, that’s cliche.
Releasing my arm, she walks away. The bells ring, and it is time. “Pull yourself together.” Still repeating as a mantra, Chester walks up to me.
“Take my arm, Luna.” And I do as he bids.
“Any words of encouragement?” I ask him, and he chuckles.
His lips are shaded on one side. “Don’t trip. All princesses do, and trust me, it’s nothing romantic. It’s purely annoying.”
“Well, thanks for the…” My words choke up in my throat as the curtains slide apart, and I’m facing the crowd.
There are a lot more people to fill the throne room than I expected. I see werewolves from the neighboring packs on the left side, and on the right side, men of the triplets. I see the knights, royal members, and members of the council.
“Keep your face on the prize, Luna Kaya.” That title gets me perked up, and I snap back to my right senses.
Chester is correct.
As we take the first step, the second comes naturally, and then the third. My lips are pressed tightly together as Chester leads me to the alter, where lies the throne.
On the higher ground are the triplets, occupying the space with such dominance and authority.
My eyes stick to them, and theirs are back at mine. Out of the blue, like a fade in, my mind drifts off into an overwhelming stir.
There is a thudding in my ears, and I pay undivided attention to it. As I listen carefully, I hear more of its loving tune. It flicks my mind into a state I cannot comprehend. The feeling is beyond what I can decipher, but I continue to listen.
Then another beat settles in, one that I recognize. I can feel it emitting from me.
Blinking, as we finally come to a stop before the triplets, Chester bows lightly before he walks away, leaving me to hold myself.
I inhale deeply, feeling so grand. The triplets stand up, and according to the rite, the Alpha between them, Kade, picks my crown up and broadens his chest as he speaks.
His voice fills every space, especially my heart, and that’s when I realized that the beating of the synchronized drum was of my heart and of theirs.
“Today, I perform the act of coronation. By the power bestowed upon me as the Alpha of this pack, I, Kade Black, Kyle Black, and Kieran Black claim and crown you, Kaya Wills, as our mate. Today, we mark the beginning of a new cycle between the mating ceremony of a witch and a werewolf.” He stamps and places the crown on my head.
“Rise, my Luna.” The three of them speak in unison, and I do as they bid.
“Long live the Luna!” Screams Chester all of a sudden, blasting into the moment that has gotten everybody sinking.
Their roars fill the air as they repeat. “Long live the Luna!”
“Long live the Luna!”
My eyes wander from left to right, seeing as beings of breeds who once hated my kind proclaim my rights with happiness in their features. It really tells me all that Chester and Olivia have been telling me.
They are right. I should not belittle myself. I did this. I gained this respect because I earned it and I changed everyone for the better, but only because a part of them wants it too. We all did this.
Time flies past, and it is now late in the night. I’m inside a new room, one designed elegantly to my taste. Who could tell that the once barbaric beings actually have a good sense of design?
My admiration for this beautiful decor is limitless. Presently, I have taken a seat on the edge of the bed as I await the triplets. In the meantime, I place my hands on my thighs and flick my mind into a connection with my witch side.
It’s only a matter of seconds before I’m in a different dimension. My eyes are open to see my mother before me.
“Mother.” I smile and pull her into a hug.
“My beautiful daughter. You’ve grown absolutely amazing, better than I could have ever groomed you.” She says, and in her tone, I hear her proudness. She is very happy with me.
“We brought peace to this land at last, and I must appreciate you for reminding me who I really am.” Our hands are intertwined. On my side, I don’t ever want her to fade away, even though I know we only have limited time before nature separates us again.
This realm is only a space for us to connect before we both go back to the reality that we’ve parted ways with. I’m alive. And she is dead. We exist in two different dimensions.
“Yes, you did that, Kaya, but you must remember. It doesn’t end here. There is still more to do. You have opened love to the air, and with every reign of love, there is a weakness. Kindness adapts to everyone, and not everyone has good intentions. There is still wickedness in this world. People who have faced pain might want revenge, like you once did, and you must keep alert. Promises that you would spend your days teaching these beings that choosing peace and harmony is the best decision that they could ever make.”
She smiles as she continues, “you may have brought together the werewolves, but there are still witches out there that need to be freed; they need to be reminded of their existence. They would want vengeance.” And she is right. That was something that I once wanted.
And when I went through with it, I remember how much it damaged even me. I was in another level of pain, and there was no relief, even though I was taking my revenge without any obstacles.
I understand what she means, and when you think about it, there would be witches out there who would think that I am a hypocrite for mating with the triplets. There’s a lot to do, indeed.
“And there are more beings than werewolves and witches. There are hunters and humans. All species must be able to live in bliss. Do that, daughter.” She finishes as she fades away.
My eyes open back to life, and the door opens with the triplets entering the room.
I watch their fine features, their hefty pecs, and the way their faces are sculpted with such perfectness. The way they look at me with such narrowed eyes, I want to squirm in an explosion of pleasure.
And the daunting smile on their faces.
I am their light, and they are my dark. In synchronization, we shall circle around each other just like the earth radiates in the solar system.
