CHAPTER 78 : CEREMONY
CHAPTER 78 : CEREMONY
It was finally the day...
The day Ronin, Draco, and Loukas were about to mate yet again but no one knew with who...
No one knew if this was all a plan or if it was real, but all they could hope for was that it was all a plan.
It was a big day, so everyone was nervous.
The wolf pack was prepared and had brought all of the other packs who were either friends, family, or
allies.
No one wanted war, but they were prepared if their king, Jace, ordered them to attack.
Every wolf on Jace's side planned to attend the ceremony to protect their king and his mate.
Adrian, Layla, Mia, Noah, Nathan, Isabella, Maya, and Ruby were all prepared to defend Alyssa, Luna,
and Juliet.
Ruby, Noah, and Isabella were instructed to protect Alyssa because she was pregnant and no one
wanted her to be hurt, whereas Jace was going to protect Alyssa because Alexander had asked him to.
Mia, Layla, Maya, and Alexander were assigned to protect Juliet, while Adrian and Nathan were
assigned to protect Luna because she could transform into a vampire and protect herself if she needed
more protection.
Everyone was preparing for the ceremony and planned to meet outside the vampire castle, except for
the other wolves, who were told to go inside and not reveal which side they were on.
Jace wore black jeans, an orange shirt, and a black coat because he didn't want to be uncomfortable in
case something bad happened.
Alexander, on the other hand, was dressed in the same outfit, but his shirt was purple, and he was
staring at Jace, who was brushing his hair and making a pony.
“D-Do you think this is all part of a plan?” Alexander inquired, concerned, as Jace sighed, turning to
face Alexander and pulling him in for a hug.
Jace responded, "If this isn't a plan, I promise I won't let anything happen to anyone." As Alexander
nodded and rested his head on Jace's shoulder.
“I don't want to lose you.” Alexander said, tears welling up in his eyes, as Jace chuckled and pecked
Alexander's eyes, replying, "You can't get rid of me this easily though we can get rid of others easily."
which made Alexander smile.
Jace and Alexander walked out of their room and down the hall, where they saw Maya and Ruby
waiting for them.
“I thought I told you we'd meet near the castle.” Jace said, as Maya nodded and responded, “I told
everyone not to interact with each other in case this is all Sam, Kim, and Amy's plan.” as Jace raised
an eyebrow in confusion.
“I don't get you.” Alexander said as Maya smiled at him and gently said, “We are leaving for the
ceremony, so just remember the only people you need to talk to are our parents and us or a member of
our pack.” as Alexander smiled and nodded his head.
Alexander admired Maya's concern for him since he was introduced to the pack, even though a few
pack members were opposed to it.
As few pack members remained, Maya and Jace's parents stood by Alexander's side, but Jace refused
to let a single wolf hurt Alexander's feelings or even harm him.
“I'm not sure why this is necessary.” Maya rolled her eyes and replied, "No one should know Adrian,
Nathan, Layla, Mia, Isabella, and Noah are on our side." As Ruby added, "it could be used as a sneak
attack." Jace finally got it and nodded his head, whispering, "Okay, I get it."
“We will be leaving now, so let's meet at the hall where the ceremony is.” Ruby said, as Jace nodded
and Maya and Ruby grabbed their belongings and waved at Alexander and Jace.
Jace and Alexander waved back as they saw Maya and Ruby walk away, so they sat on the sofa
sighing.
“I'm scared.” Alexander said as he held Jace's hand and rested his head on Jace's shoulder.
Jace said, "Don't worry cub." as he kissed the knuckle of Alexander's hand and added, "I am always
here with you."
“I know you are, but I am very concerned.” Alexander said as he frowned, while Jace let go of
Alexander's hand and cupped his cheeks as he faced him.
Jace said, "Hey, I'm sure this is all part of a plan, and everything will be fine soon.” As Alexander
questioned "How sure are you?" while Jace smiled and replied, "I am very sure because last night after
you slept, I got a message from Draco asking how Luna is and is she a human or a vampire." as
Alexander frown was replaced with a small smile.
“What did you say?” Alexander inquired as Jace held Alexander's hand, he replied, "I told him that she
is a human for the time being." to which Alexander nodded.
“He said he is glad and told me to take care of her for a while.” Jace said as Alexander whispered out
“Wow” he smiled and stared right into Jace's eyes, replying, “You should have told me sooner” as Jace
shrugged.
Jace smiled and said, "I know I should have, but I forgot." adding, "it's all a plan, don't worry." as
Alexander hummed happily.
“Why are we taking so many wolves with us if this is all a plan?” Alexander wondered. Jace shrugged
and replied, "Because Draco, Loukas, and Ronin might need help if Kim, Amy, and Sam attack." while
Alexander murmured, "That's great."
“Hello, guys.” Juliet unexpectedly greeted Alexander and Jace, who both looked at her as Alexander
replied, "hey Juliet." while staring at her and adding, "You look beautiful." which made Juliet laugh.
Juliet thanked Alexander as she sat on the sofa, double-checking her black clutch.
Juliet was dressed in a knee-length peach one-shoulder dress, black heels, and black jewelry, with her
hair tied in a waterfall braid.
Alexander's gaze was drawn to Alyssa, who walked over to the sofa and sat next to Juliet.
“You look stunning.” Alexander said, to which Alyssa replied, “Thank you, and you look amazing.” and
Alexander thanked Alyssa.
Alyssa was wearing a knee-length lavender halter dress, silver heels, a clutch, and jewelry, with her
hair tied in a side fishtail.
“Where is Luna?” Jace inquired, looking at Alyssa and Juliet as they shrugged their shoulders.
“I am here.” Luna said, smiling at Jace, who smiled back as she sat on the sofa.
Alexander said, "You look beautiful." to which Luna responded, "Thank you, and you look handsome."
as he smiled at her.
Luna was dressed in a knee-length white square neck mini skater dress, black heels, a clutch, and
jewelry, with her hair tied in a loose bun.
“If you guys are ready,” Jace said as he stood up, holding Alexander's hand, and added, "Let's go." as
Alexander stood up as well.
“Yeah, let's go.” Luna said, as Alyssa responded, “I am so excited.” and Juliet hummed while she
added, “Me too.” as Alexander nodded his head and added, “Same.”
*******
They were finally in front of the castle, with Alyssa holding Luna's hand, who was holding Juliet's hand.
“We can do it.” Luna said as she turned around and looked at Alyssa and Juliet, both of whom nodded
confidently.
“Obviously you can." Alyssa said as Juliet added "because Jace and Alexander are on our team.” while
Alexander nodded happily as they noticed Jace, who was still staring at the castle.
Alexander kept his hand on Jace's shoulder, asking, "Are you okay?" while Jace smiled at Alexander
and replied, "I am fine as long as you are with me." Alexander kissed Jace's cheek and whispered,
"always".
As Jace, Alexander, Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna entered the castle for the ceremony, they noticed the hall
was packed with people.
The wolf packs, vampires, and even witches were present, and Juliet's gaze was drawn to Kim, Amy,
and Sam.
“Look at them standing so proudly in our place.” Juliet said, rolling her eyes, while Luna added, “Don't
worry, their smiles will soon fade away.”
Alexander agreed with Juliet and Luna, saying, "Smiles will be replaced with tears as they beg for
forgiveness." while Alyssa added, "We will crush them for good.”
“You four stay together and I return soon.” Jace said, as Alexander raised an eyebrow at his mate,
perplexed.
“Where are you going, Jace?” Alexander inquired. As Jace replied, "I will be back cub, so don't worry."
Alexander nodded, puzzled.
Jace pecked Alexander's cheek while whispering in Alexander's ear "I love you more so always take
my side no matter what because we are mates" which confused Alexander even more as Alexander
replied "I will always take your side" while he saw Jace's frown was replaced by a smile.
Alexander noticed Jace walk away as he looked around for Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna, who were looking
for some familiar faces.
“Don't you think Jace was acting strangely right now?” Alexander inquired, to which Alyssa replied,
"Perhaps he is nervous," to which Alexander sighed and added, "Yeah, that could be possible."
“Oh, look, mom and dad,” Juliet exclaimed happily as Luna took a step back and stuttered, “A-Are they
still on our side?”
“Yes, they are, so let us go greet them,” Alexander replied, holding Luna's hand and smiling at her.
Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna stood in front of Elena Edmund and Gavin Edmund, Jace's parents, while
Victoria Allan and Michael Allan, Draco, Loukas, and Ronin's parents, were next to Gavin and Elena.
Victoria hugged Alyssa as she hugged Luna, then Juliet as she hugged Alexander, and finally as the
girls hugged Michael.
Gavin and Elena also hugged Alexander, Juliet, Alyssa, and Luna while smiling.
“Don't worry, everything will be fine soon,” Victoria said as Michael wrapped his arm around his mate's
waist and added, “I know Draco, Loukas, and Ronin are acting strange, but they can't survive without
you three.”
“I hope what you're saying is correct, Mom.” Luna said as she held Victoria's hand, who smiled and
replied, "I won't let those girls take your place," as Michael nodded and added, "You are the queens,
not them," as he held Juliet's hand.
Elena said, "Yes, sweethearts, we are on your side," while holding Alyssa's hand, and Gavin added,
"We will stay with you until all of this is over," while ruffling Alexander's hair, who giggled.
“Oh, it's great you three are here.” A voice echoed that belonged to Loukas, causing Alyssa's smile to
fade.
Alyssa, Juliet, Alexander, and Luna turned around to see Draco, Loukas, Ronin, and even Jace
standing beside them, along with Kim, Amy, and Sam.
Loukas questioned "Didn't Jace do an excellent job bringing you three here?” Alexander looked at
Jace, who was standing next to Draco, who had wrapped his arm around Jace's shoulder.
“What exactly do you mean?” Alexander asked, perplexed, as Draco replied, "Oh well, Jace is on our
side," while Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna's eyes widened in surprise.
“Jace would never be on your side no matter what,” Alexander stated sternly, but he knew this was true
because he had noticed how strange Jace was acting since they returned from their visit to the vampire
castle.
Maya, Ruby, Adrian, Nathan, Noah, Isabella, Mia, and Layla stood beside Elena, Gavin, Victoria, and
Michael, all staring at Jace, Draco, Loukas and Ronin in confusion.
“We knew you wouldn't come to the ceremony, so we planned everything,” Ronin said as Juliet fell to
her knees, fully aware that she was the first to fall for this trap, while Victoria assisted her in standing.
Layla and Mia stood next to Alyssa to protect her, while Adrian and Nathan stood next to Luna.
Alexander yelled, "YOU ARE LYING!" as he glared at Draco, adding, "JACE WOULD NEVER BE ON
YOUR SIDE!"
“Alex, leave those girls and come to my side,” Jace said as Alexander whispered out “Jace” while
staring at his mate sadly.
Kim, Amy, and Sam smiled as they walked towards the throne that was supposed to be Luna, Alyssa,
and Juliet's while they sat on it.
“Jace informed us that Juliet ran away, so we planned everything to ensure you girls attended the
ceremony,” Loukas said, as Ronin added, laughing, “you were foolish enough to fall for this trap.”
“You did what we wanted you to do, and we knew Alex had doubts about us, so we told Jace to tell you
that I care for you,” Draco smirked, staring at Luna, who clicked her tongue in irritation.
“H-How could this have happened?” Alexander questioned, tears streaming down his cheeks while he This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
stumbled back as Luna caught him and glared at Draco as she transformed into her vampire form.
“Alex don't listen to them because he's your Jace, but he's not in his right mind,” Luna said as she held
Alexander's hand, who nodded and smiled sadly.
Alyssa said, "He went to the black magic area alone, maybe that's why this happened." Juliet added,
"We won't let them win." As Alexander nodded in agreement.
Alexander wiped away his tears as he stuttered out "I... I want my Jace back" as he glared at Loukas
and yelled angrily "GIVE ME MY JACE BACK" Jace sighed.
“Cub, I am your Jace and I will always be your Jace, so take my hand and be by my side,” Jace said as
he reached out to touch Alexander, but Alexander smacked his hand away.
Alexander yelled angrily, "MY JACE KNOWS THAT THOSE BITCHES KILLED MY KID AND WON'T
SIDE WITH THEM NO MATTER WHAT" as he transformed into his hybrid form.
“Speaking of the baby.” Loukas said as he stared at Alyssa, continuing, “I heard my previous mate
Alyssa is pregnant.” while Alexander held Alyssa's hand and turned his head towards Amy, Sam, and
Kim, knowing exactly what they wanted.
Alyssa gulped and took a step back, adding, "No, I am not." as Maya said, "Stay away from her."
“It doesn't matter because you'll die anyway,” Loukas laughed as Jace stared at his mate.
Jace said, "Alex, be on my side or I'll have to kill you as well." As Alexander laughed and shook his
head.
Alexander replied, "Oh yeah?" while clicking his tongue and adding, "Don't forget I'm the king as well,
so no one would dare to touch me."
“I can kill you.” Jace said as Alexander shrugged his shoulder and said, “Go ahead.” further infuriating
Jace.
As they all stood staring at each other, Jace glared at Alexander, who glared back.
Alexander, Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna were well aware that this was war, but they were willing to fight
because they cared deeply about their mates and wanted them to live.
