Chapter 170 - Bullied Mate Of The Alpha Triplets

Ember's POV

The next day was quite a big and exciting day for everyone in the pack. The three brothers were getting crowned as the Alphas and the new leader of the pack.

I woke up nervous and excited, Lucas was right by my side. He seemed nervous as well, but I did my best to comfort him and make him feel less nervous.

"You can do this, Lucas," I said with an encouraging smile.

"What if I mess up?" He bit his lower lips, and I pulled him into a kiss. "Don't worry, Lucas, you'll be fine," I said to him, and he took a sharp breath and nodded.

"Of course," He said, squeezing my hand. He got up, got dressed and kissed me goodbye. He had to meet up with his father and brothers.

I also did the same and went to the hall to sit beside the Luna. Zealina and her mom were also present and were seated behind us.

The Alpha walked in with his beta and some other high officials, and the ceremony began. I sat there with a proud smile on my face as Lucas and his brothers walked in. They were dressed in a black traditional suit.

I could feel the excitement building up in me as they walked to the front where everyone could see them. I had never been so happy to be his wife. Lucas caught my eyes and winked at me, and I gave him a bright smile, blowing him a kiss.

"Step Forward, Tristen," The oldest and most important elder, Marcus, said, stretching out his hand. He was dressed in a black robe and had long chains around his neck. It was the traditional attire for the coronation ceremony.

Tristen stepped forward, looking strong and confident in his attire. He was given a silver chain with a wolf pendant, which he wore around his neck, symbolizing his connection to the pack.

"Step forward, Lucas," The old man Marcus said to Lucas, and he did the same. He was given the same type of Necklace which he wore.

Caleb was called afterwards, and the same process of giving and wearing the silver necklace was repeated.

"Bring in the first box," Marcus said, and a man wearing a similar robe walked in with a little golden box. The older man opened the box and took out three bracelets.

"Go on your knees, you three," He said in a calm voice, and the three brothers got on their knees.

"Take your oaths and receive your bracelets," He said, and they all took their oaths. They swore to be good leaders to lead the pack well and protect the members with all their hearts. They promised to lead and protect the pack with wisdom and strength, and everyone started cheering and applauding.

I couldn't stop myself as well from clapping excitedly as I stared at them. My heart swelled with joy and pride, and I could imagine how the Luna beside me was feeling staring at her son.

The Beta walked up to them and took what looked like a knife. "Stretch out your hands." He commanded, and they did.

He walked up to Lucas and tore his hand swiftly with the knife. I winced, staring at them, but Lucas didn't even flinch. The same happened with Caleb and Tristen.

The beta then tore his hand open and squeezed his blood on their open wounds. "My blessings and loyalty are now yours. You are now my Alphas, and I will serve you for as long as I live and you wish," He declared loudly, and everyone clapped.

Next, it was the Alpha. He walked to where his sons were, staring at them with pride. He looked delighted and proud to be the father of these wonderful and strong men.

A man in a blue robe came with what looked like a little decorated bowl. I couldn't see what was inside the decorated bowl from where I sat. The Alpha dipped his hand into the bowl and took it out, his fingers stained with what looked like ash.

Without saying a word, The alpha took the ash from the bow and drew a symbol on Lucas's forehead, mumbling some words that we could not hear from where we were. The mark shone in the light, a powerful sign of leadership. As the ash settled into Lucas's skin, everyone gasped in amazement.

He walked towards Caleb and did the same. And lastly, to Tristen before returning the bowl to the man.

He raised his hands and declared in a loud clear voice, "I declare Tristen, Lucas and Caleb, the new Alphas of our pack!" The words sent shivers down my spine as I felt this very important moment.

"Arise, my sons," He said to the three of them, and they slowly got up and turned to the audience.

"Bow and pay your respects to your new Alphas!" He said in a commanding tone.

Together, we all stood up and bowed our heads in respect, acknowledging Lucas, Caleb, and Tristen as our new leaders. The air was filled with emotion as Lucas's eyes met mine, shining with love and happiness. I knew he would be an incredible Alpha, fair and just. All three would be outstanding leaders, and I felt proud to call Lucas my husband.

We stood there silently for a moment, the ash mark glowing with otherworldly energy before the Luna suddenly clapped excitedly. "It's party time!" She exclaimed, calling the maids. "It's time for the reception."

She gestured for the servants to lead the guest to the reception, where food and drinks would be served.

I, on the other hand, ran into Lucas's arms, and he hugged and spun me around. "My Alpha," I mumbled, holding his neck. "I'm so proud of you," I said with tear-filled eyes, and he kissed my cheeks.

"Thank you, love," He said. Just then, the former Alpha, their father, walked up to us and hugged his sons, one after the other.

"I am so proud of you, sons; I know you will do well," He said before walking away.

"Come on, let's get out of here," Caleb said, pulling Tristen, who frowned.

"The reception will be very boring; I have no interest in being there," He said coldly.

"I wasn't talking about the reception; let's go get some drinks. We're the Alphas now. Let's knock ourselves out. You're invited as well, Ember." He turned to me with a wink, and I chuckled.

"Well, I didn't plan on leaving my drunk husband all alone tonight," I said, and Caleb dragged us to the bar.

We had a couple of drinks together and talked about old memories from five years ago. What it was like growing up, how we felt when we found out we were mates.

There were many confessions and flashbacks as the four of us got together like old times. However, the air changed when Caleb mentioned Priscilla.

"He's never been with any girl since then. Sometimes I worry for him," Caleb said, shaking his head at his brother, and Tristen frowned and rolled his eyes.

"I told you, I've had enough of women," He said back to Caleb, who gasped dramatically.

"For five years? You haven't touched a woman for five years! You only got so busy and buried in books and football stuff," Caleb said, pointing a finger at him. "You should take a break, bro."

"I do plan on taking a break. I will be going to a neighboring pack tomorrow for a vacation. Should last for about two weeks." Tristen shrugged, sipping his drink, and Caleb nodded, looking excited. "Good, good, you should definitely do that!"

"These two," Lucas chuckled, and I kissed his nose, snuggling into his arms.

I loved this family so much and was so grateful to be a part of it.
