CHAPTER 102
A YEAR LATER
The triplets and I had settled into the castle. Their three best friends Aiden, Julian and Anthony were also living in the castle because they were going to be the guys council, or Beta’s, however you want to look at it.
But Grayson and Sophia were living in the castle as well because they were still the Alpha and
Luna.
But the dynamic had changed a lot. Since I was Queen and everyone had to answer to me.
People kept asking me if I was going to have all three guys crowned as King or just Koda because he was the oldest. But I couldn’t choose just one. It was going to be all of them or
none of them.
Lexie was also living in the castle because she was basically my lady in waiting. And she
loved it.
I didn’t ask too much of her and we just got to spend most of the day together.
I was sitting in my room in front of the vanity wearing a dressing gown and staring at my reflection when Lexie walked in.
“You’re not even dressed yet. Everyone’s here.” She said.
“I know. I don’t know if I can do this.” I said.
“What do you mean?” She asked, sitting next to me.
“I know that I’ve been doing royal duties for the last year. I’ve been sorting out packs and species and punishing Alpha’s that are abusing pack members, punishing vampires for not following the rules. I’ve set up all those blood banks for the vampires. But after tonight, it’s going to be official. I’m going to be the Queen. I’m only 19.”
“Nova. If you weren’t cut out for it, then you wouldn’t have that necklace around your neck. You wouldn’t have saved us from that attack. You wouldn’t have been able to do what you’ve done in the last 12 months. You’ve amazed everyone with what you’ve done. You are definitely cut out for this.” She said.
“I’m scared.” I admitted.
“You’d be a fool not to be. But you have three fantastic mates that are going to help you navigate your way through this.”

“Well, that’s something else entirely. None of us really know what we’re doing.” I admitted.
“Then fake it. No one will know.” She said. And I just smirked at her through the mirror.
I looked back in the vanity and it felt like I didn’t even notice the woman that was looking back
at me.
“What am I supposed to do?”
“You’re supposed to do what you were destined to do. You’re going to go out there and be the best damn Queen to those people that you can be. No one expects you to do s**t that you can’t do. So, you do the best that you can.” Lexie said.
She grabbed the brush off the vanity and she got up and started brushing and styling my hair.
I then started applying my makeup and I was trying to concentrate on what needed to be done
tonight.
As soon as I finished my makeup and Lexie had styled my hair, I walked to the walk–in wardrobe and I looked at the dress that was picked out for me to wear tonight.
I got dressed into the straight white princess cut floor length dress with thin straps with a white cape over it that covered my shoulders and attached at the front with a gold dragon attaching both sides of the cape to keep it closed.
I walked back into the bedroom and the triplets were standing there in their tuxedos and they all stopped to look at me.
“Is it too much?” I asked.
“No way.” Dean said.
“It’s perfect.” Tyler said.
“And you look beautiful.” Koda said, walking over to me and kissing me.
“Don’t ruin her makeup.” Lexie warned them.
“Are you ready?” Dean asked.
“Not in the least.” I said.
“Well, the people are.” Tyler said.
“I know.”
We walked out of the bedroom and down the hallway of the first floor of the castle and we found our way to the front doors.
I had to take a couple of deep breaths before the guards opened the large mahogany doors

and the four of us walked out onto the stone landing at the top of the stairs.
We walked to the edge where there was a stone wall that came up to my waist. Grayson and Sophia joined us just after we walked out.
And out in front of us were thousands of people and creatures.
There were werewolves, vampires, witches and fae’s. All cheering on the new royal family. All enjoying this big celebration as me finally coming out as their Queen.
I had never felt this nervous before, so the guys had to help me down the massive staircase to get down to the field beside the castle where the village had been built and there were people
everywhere.
They all greeted us and they were ready for this big extravagant party that we had set up for
the subjects that I was now responsible for.
The triplets stayed close to me that night and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
We were sitting up at the head table and I was sitting there looking out among everyone.
The first time in my life I had seen every specie mingling with each other and not trying to kill
each other.
I leaned back in my chair and couldn’t help but smile as I watched all the happy faces in front
of me. And I made a vow to myself right then and there.
I was going to ensure that they never lost those smiles. That they would live out the rest of
their lives happy, just like I was with Koda, Tyler and Dean.
“If I could have everyone’s attention please?” I asked, standing up. So another assistant of the
castle announced for everyone to be quiet.
“What’s going on?” Koda asked.
“I just have one more announcement to make. It’s such a beautiful night out here with such
beautiful people. I was going to wait until later but I feel like I want everyone to know right
now. Including my incredible mates.” I explained.
“You’re making us a little nervous here.” Dean said. But I just looked down at him and smiled as they were all still sitting down while I was standing..
“I wanted to announce that soon enough there is going to be a prince or princess gracing this
castle with us.” I announced.
Koda dropped the glass that he was holding and it smashed all over the ground as he looked
at me in shock before he stood up and made me face him.

“You’re pregnant? Are you sure?” He asked.
“Yeah. I’m positive.” I said. And he pulled me into the tightest hug I’ve ever felt along with Tyler
and Dean behind me.
The love that they are feeling towards me was unmistakable. And I didn’t need a mate bond to
tell me that. We were going to be a proper family and that’s all that mattered to us.
