Maddie chuckled and ran her fingers through my hair.
“I know,” she said. “But we have work to do. We will be back here tonight.”
I deepened our kiss just as our bedroom door opened.
“We are late,” I heard Will’s voice.
I was so entranced by Maddie that I didn’t even hear him coming.
I turned around and saw him frowning at us. He really needed to relax a little. His eyes fell on Maddie and he smiled a little.
“You look amazing Mads,” Will said. “I didn’t know Dimitri had such good taste.”
Maddie chuckled and I rolled my eyes at him. I took Maddie’s hand in mine and started leading her out of the bedroom.
“We are late,” I said as we walked past Will.
I heard both Will and Maddie laughing quietly.
I tried to ignore them. I took a deep breath and released it slowly. I couldn’t fucking wait for this ceremony to be over.
CHAPTER SIXTEEN – Our Queen
Madeline’s POV
I was a bit nervous as Dimitri and I walked into the throne room.
Meeting with all nine Alphas and their Betas was the first thing on our to-do list today. After the meeting, we had to go to the celebratory dinner where I would meet all the Lunas and the rest of Alphas’ families and staff that arrived with them.
I was both nervous and excited. This event was my first official event as a Luna and a Queen and I didn’t want to disappoint Dimitri.
‘You won’t disappoint him,’Skye said softly.‘You were born to do this. He is already incredibly proud of you.’
I ignored her. I didn’t want to talk to her. Not yet.
‘You will have to talk to me eventually, Maddie,’Skye sighed.‘You can’t ignore me forever.’
‘I can ignore you tonight,’I told her as I pushed her back.
I took a deep breath as I finally got a clear view of the table where 18 men were waiting for me, Dimitri, and Will. All of them stood up and bowed.
I tried to get a good look at each and every one of them, but I was a bit nervous and it was hard for me to focus. I knew their names, but it was the first time I saw them in person so I couldn’t put names and faces together.
My eyes fell on the only Alpha I knew. Alpha Jack.
He was smiling brightly and I couldn’t help but smile back at him.
Dimitri led me to my seat and pulled out the chair for me.
“Thank you,” I told him quietly.
“Anything for my Queen,” he said, winking at me.
He sat down next to me and took my hand in his. Will sat on the other side of me.
Stay close to me at all times.Will mind-linked me sternly.
I glanced at him and furrowed my brows a little.
