The Moon Wolf Diaries

Chapter Fifty-Eight (The Wedding & Coronation, Pt. One)

Carson's POV

Ten days later...

It's the morning of the biggest day of my life and I'm soaking in this beautiful hot tub with everything smelling of jasmine, honey, and peppermints as I take in the blissful silence of the bathroom that's briefly interrupted by the sounds of my mates, Iain, and Archer acting like total groom-zillas running around with their heads cut off.

"You better not have those bloody reality-star wannabes at St. Catherine's in place of the Kardashians," I heard Alain bark from somewhere. "I don't care if they're the toast of Seattle, they are banned since completely being trashed at my mate's birthday party."

He was talking about the Langley Sisters of The Seattle Langleys. Yeah, they weren't on everyone's good list since completely crashing the party while being hammered. And to make it worse for them, they puked on Ciara's favorite dress... all on camera and broadcasted on TV. Since then, they were blackballed for life.

And then came the raging and thick accent of Yesenia's mate from outside. "Why are you standing there with those god-awful bouquets of jonquils when you could be taking those back to your boss's shop?  Topaz and his cousin are severely allergic and the Joneslakes will hang you by your bloody balls if they die on the spot."

"No, no, no, no, no!" I heard Gavin whimper from his bedroom. "Please tell me that the River Park Alpha from Pittsburgh and his wife aren't near the Salanis of Tennessee. They have a major rivalry and- thank you. I suspected that the Salanis wouldn't make it since Louis and Tamar would be there."

It was all like the faint muffling of a swarm of bees as I sighed happily in the bathtub without a care in the world. So much has happened since that fateful day two years ago- the rejection and the Soul Conversion, the car crash that put me in a coma, going from a broken rogue to a powerful prince and Moon Wolf, meeting my mates, being kidnapped, mating, and being pregnant...

It all seemed like a dream, but it was all real.

Very real.

And if you would have told me back when I was being locked away in the basement of the Four Aces pack that I would be a future ruler of the supernatural, I would have told you that you had lost your mind before being swept away for another beating or being killed by the bullies. Funny how everything can change with a simple rejection.

And as much as you guys want to think that I'm nuts for saying this, I want to thank Regan for not accepting me and being my initial mate. I mean, he and his twin brother were fine as hell and they could be very ambitious. But with one wanting nothing to do with me and wanting all omegas to die while the other was obsessive and power-hungry, you can bet that I would've been miserable- if not dead. And I already had a feeling that my Mom had other plans for me with mating and my destiny.

There was a knock at the bathroom door. "Who's there?" I asked. "If it's my mates, you guys can't be here. It's bad luck to see me before the ceremonies. And Eurydice and Ciara would have you castrated if-"

"It's me," I heard the voice of my trusted friend Ciara as she and Bianca came in with a bathrobe in the former's hand and a garment bag and a shoebox in the latter's hands. "And don't worry about the nine, Carson. Your Mom was around to transport them to the ceremony after Medusa quickly transported them. And let's just say that She's one very classy broad who doesn't play around with this ceremony. She gave us the seal of approval for all that we planned."

"And anyway, we're here to get you ready," Bianca added. "The ceremony begins at exactly noon and we have three more hours before showtime. All the guests are arriving with the Council being fed by Colleen's aunt and Cora Mae's daughter and friends. We got you a breakfast plate on hand as well. So, are you ready for the biggest day of your life?"
