Mated To An Hybrid

“Do you solemnly swear that you would uphold the virtues and honor this pack is based on”, the elder said.

Brian nodded, placing a hand on the big book of wolves while the other was raised towards the sky, in an upward motion.

“Yes, I do”, he said.

“And do you promise to treat justice with patience, equality and with all fairness”, the elder said.

“Yes, I will to the best of my abilities”, Brian said.

“Very well. Now, to your mate”, the elder said.

He walked towards Serah, holding the big book of wolves on both palms. At that moment, Serah wasn’t scared as she was that morning.

“Do you Serah solemnly swear to stand by your mate in all times, either good or bad, in sickness and in health”, the elder said.

“Yes, I will”, Serah said.

“And do you swear as the new Luna to always tamper justice with mercy at all times”, the elder said.

“Yes, I will”, Serah said.

The elder nodded before walking towards the middle of the altar. There was dead silence throughout the hall as all attention was on the trio who stood at the sacred altar.

“Having obeyed all laws and jurisdiction present in the sacred book of wolves, I pronounce you Brian, son of Frederick as the Alpha and chief commanding officer of the five packs. I also pronounce you Serah, Luna and queen of the five packs. May your reign be long”, the elder boomed.

At the pronunciation, thousands of wolves who were present howled into the night. Brian was proud of himself at having accomplished this against all odds. He took Serah’s hands in his, giving it a gentle squeeze as a sign of appreciation to her for standing by him throughout everything.

The elder proceeded to raise the sacred bowl of water for which the both of them would wash their hands as a sign of honesty and transparency.

When this was done, the elders quietly took their leave. Their job there was done, the rest of the ceremony will be filled with drinking and merrying.

Alpha Brian came down from the altar with his Luna hand in hand to the loud cheers of the people.

“Congratulations my man”, Killian said.

He gave him a hug before kissing Serah’s hands. There was a lot of cheers and music coming from the loud speakers at that far corner of the hall.

“Where’s Jack?”, Brian asked.

He looked around but he couldn’t find his other best friend. It wasn’t easy looking around for him especially when there was a huge throng of people in the hall.

“He’s outside talking with the chief security man”, Killian said, quietly.

Brian could tell that he didn’t want anyone to eavesdrop on their conversation but he knew that it wouldn’t be possible as the noise from the hall alone was enough.

“Why, what’s going on?”, Serah asked.

She couldn’t help it if something was wrong especially on a day like this. She knew about all the threats she and Brian had already gotten as a result of the coronation and her biggest fear was an attack on a day like this.

“There’s been suspicions of an attack here. We don’t know how and when this attack would take place but we’re not taking anything for granted. Jack has given an order that the snipers should be doubled”, Killian said.

“Okay, great. That’s good, please keep an eye on that and keep me posted the minute something else comes up”, Brian said.

“Will do. Both of you, enjoy yourselves I’ll go help Jack outside”, Killian said.

Brian watched him walk away as a new feeling of dread crept into his stomach. He didn’t know when this attack would occur but he wasn’t going to take any chances especially when it came to protecting his pack.

“Congratulations”, a voice said.

They both whirled around towards the voice and discovered it was Andrew who stood there with a small smile. Serah could feel Brian’s pulse increase as a result of the hatred he had for him. She gave his hands a gentle squeeze, silently reassuring him that she col handle this.

“Thank you Andrew”, Serah smiled.

Brian grunted, pulling her closer to him. Serah rolled her eyes at this show of possessiveness and couldn’t help smiling when she saw the look of annoyance on Andrew’s face.

“Anything else?”, Brian asked.

“No… Nothing”, Andrew stuttered.

“Okay then, if there’s nothing else we’ll be on our way. My mate and I have people to greet”, Brian said

He led Serah away towards the throng of people. Serah chuckled, loving the way he was always so protective of her.

“Brian, you shouldn’t have made it so obvious”, Serah chuckled.

“I don’t bloody care. He can think about anything he wants, all I know is that I’m not going to leave you in his midst”, Brian said.

“Why would I even want to be on his midst. You’re my mate, my Alpha now and the only place where I want to be is in your presence”, Serah smiled.

Brian kissed her, running his tongue on her lower lip. He didn’t care if anyone was looking at them all he cared about was that he was with is mate, the woman he loved.

“You should get a room”, a voice snapped.

“And you should get lost”, Serah said.

She didn’t care about who spoke, not bothering to turn around to check for the source of the voice.

“And you call me the fiend”, Brian chuckled.

“You’re always the fiend”, Serah laughed.

Just then, Jack came running in with Killian by his side. One look at their face proved to Brian that something was definitely wrong or about to go wrong.

“What’s the problem?”, Brian said.

“You have to leave now”, Jack said.

“What’s the matter. Why?”, Serah croaked.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“A thousand of Wilfred’s men are heading here. We’ve called for evacuation of the guests to a nearby building. You guys have to leave now”, he said.

“I’m not going, I’ll stand here and fight Wilfred. You guys should know me better, I never run away from a fight”, Brian thundered.

Just then, the unmistakable sound of gun fire rattled the building then the battle began.
