Chapter 82: Royal Banquet
“Alpha’s Dakota and Kydence, welcome.” The palace guard greeted them with a bow.

“Thank you.” Dakota greeted.

“Please follow me. The guard said, motioning to the hall, they’ll be walking down. They all followed the guard, the hallway leading to the banquet hall was brightly decorated with streamers and fairy lights.

“I thought it was going to be a small gathering?” Kolby whispered.

“Just think all of Shadow pack isn’t even here yet. Any idea when they will be here?” Silas said from behind them, making Kolby jump. Hunter lowly growled and glared at Silas. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.” He apologized.

“It’s okay. Hunter, I’m fine, sweetheart.” Kolby said leaning into Hunter. “Uh…what about SilverHawk? When will they get here.” She asked.

“Those here, are a mixture of the RoseHunt and SilverHawk. We had our pack fly out yesterday, they got here early this morning.” Silas explained. “There may be more coming but I’m not sure yet.”

“Our pack will be here sometime tomorrow.” Kruz chimed in.

“I already told him that TweedleDee.” Kolby smirked at her brother.

“Okay, I didn’t know BABY sister.” He smirked at his sister. She narrowed her eyes at him. “Anyway, they are in the process of finalizing their flight plans and getting ready to be here tomorrow.” He informed them.

Kolby just glared at her brother. Hunter pulled her closer to him, “okay you two, let’s call a truce for the night.” He suggested.

“What? We aren’t doing anything.” Kruz said kissing Kolby’s cheek and Kolby patted his cheek, well more like a slap on his cheek.

“Nope, we are all good. We just can’t help ourselves.” She laughed. “Both my brothers may drive me insane, but they know that I love them more than they could ever know.” She hugged her brother.

“I’m right there with ya, I drive my family just as insane.” Silas admitted.

“Well, we may hafta talk some more.” Kruz grinned widely.

“No, no, no. You better behave! Kydence will blow a gasket.” Kolby sighed.

“It’s all good.” Silas laughed.

“So, do you which and many members are coming?” Karla asked, changing the subject and wrapped her arms around Silas' waist.

“Mainly the unmated, a few families, and my mother and father-in-law.” Hunter chuckled.

“Mom and dad being here isn’t going to be any fun.” Kruz pouted.

“For you it won’t be any fun.” Kyde laughed. “You really think mom and dad are gunna leave you and Kasper unsupervised?” She snorted.

Kruz glared at his little Alpha sister. “Yeah, fat boy.” Kolby chuckled. He graciously flipped her off with a snicker.

“Oh geez, you two, please don’t start.” Kyde groaned.

“Well, we’ve actually already started, have continued but we will behave.” Kruz and Kolby said in turn. Kyde stared at them, “we promise.” They said raising their right hand and fisting it over their heart.

“You better or you will both be put through the ringer with dad during training.” She warned. Kruz and Kolby’s eyes went wide, shaking their heads no.

“Alright, we are all going to have fun and get to know our future allied packs.” Dakota said nuzzling his mate's neck.

“Kydence, you made it!” Reign clapped her hand excitedly.

“Sorry, we’re late. We had a small dispute.” Kyde said looking at Kruz and Kolby.

“Oh, it’s okay.” Reign waved her hand. “We all have those in our family.” She tugged Kydence with her further into the room waving at those who greeted them.
Blasé nodded his chin to indicate that the Shadows arrived. Storm picked River up and they made their way to Kyde. “River, sweetie, this is Alpha Kyde.” She introduced.

“Hi, Alphwa Ky-e.” River smiled and waved at her.

“Hi River,” Kyde softly caressed River’s cheek. “You can all me Ky-e.” She chuckled. “Where are your brothers?”

“Da ober dare,” she pointed to where her brothers were play wrestling with some of the males, including Marco and their uncles.

“They just can’t help themselves, can they?” Kyde snickered.

“Nope, not with Rebel and Ryder, they love to learn how to pounce. Silas has been teaching them, so they take every opportunity to do it. Silas also loves to egg them on.” Storm laughed.

Damien cleared his throat, “Attention.” He called out. “We are here to welcome the SilverHawk and Shadow Mountain packs to the Royal Elite RoseHunt pack and territory.” He announced. “Allow me to introduce the Alpha’s, Luna, Beta’s, and Gamma’s for these packs. Please step up when I call your name.” Damien looked at them. “Let us welcome from the SilverHawk pack, Alpha Blasé Asher SilverMoon, Luna Storm Lyla Hawk-SilverMoon, their pups, future Alpha, Marco Jax Hawk-SilverMoon, Rebel Baltar, Ryder Ezra, and River Tundra Hawk-SilverMoon. Beta Silas Orion SilverMoon, his mate Beta female Karla Hazel Hawk, soon to be SilverMoon, Gamma’s Doltyn Rollo and Megan Sandy Hawk. He motioned for them to all.

River was holding Marco’s hand, smiling, and twirling side to side and waving at everybody. Everyone cooed at her and told her and her brothers how cute they were. Marco had to keep Jax from lashing out the little males who would try to get River’s attention but of course, it wasn’t working. Jax didn’t care, he wanted the little fucker’s away from HIS mate.

“Let us also welcome the Shadow Mountain pack, Alpha’s Dakota Diesel and Kydence Diamond BlackPaw, Beta’s Kruz Ronan and Kasper Rathbone Shadow, Beta females KC and Keane Shadow and Gamma’s Hunter Taz and Kolby Gracie BlackPaw. Also, the Delta Commanders and lead trainers Vic Castagnoli, his sister, Mimi Castagnoli, and her mate, Babaloo Cross who, by the way, is the baby brother to our very own Alexander Buzz(ard) Cross.” Reign punched Damien in the stomach at his small snarky comment making the crowd laugh. The Royal pack members that the King loved to call the big bear who was one of his Queen’s closest friends.

Damien stood tall after joking with his Queen, “please help us welcome both packs with open arms and let us build our packs with peace. We will all be here to help guide, protect, comfort, and love each other and every member. Don’t think of SilverHawk, Shadow Mountain and RoseHunt as three individual packs, we are and will be one pack with the job of seeing that shifters of all species, including humans, are protected from those who wish to do harm. We will not stand for those who abuse those who are weaker than us. Anyone found guilty of these crimes or any crime for that matter will face Luna Storm and her beast, Lyla, who will judge your guilt or innocence and then based on our laws, Luna Storm will announce your punishment.
