Chapter 31
“My birthday invitation!”
Freya came to deliver the black glittery cards of her birthday party invitations. Jason and William were sun bathing beside the pool, dressed only in swimsuit.
“Freya, it’s rude to barge into men’s place without permission.”
William quickly covered his body with a black towel, Jason chuckled at his reservations.
“When Freya experiences no problem with it, then why are shying like a maiden, my dear William.”
He rolled a towel and threw it at Freya.
“Hey, check my muscles! I have been doing extra crunches for the last one week.
“One week!”
Freely placed the cards on the side table and felt his muscles with her hands.
“You need at least one year to burn this fat. I am unable to feel your muscles under this thick layer of fatty tissues.”
William burst out in laughter, Jason got up instantly and picked up Freya. She was giggling at his offended growls, which was frustrating him more.
He twirled her twice, then hung her over the pool.
“Say this or I will dunk you in the water.
I am foggy four eyes, and I am very mean.
I should apologize to Jason, who is very masculine.”
Freya wriggled to break free but failed. So, she yelled at him,
“In your dreams, Mr. Fatty peak!”
There were roars of laughter from Freya and William and as promised, Jason released his hold and Freya fell in the water.
“Jason!”
Satisfied by Freya’s shriek, Jason picked up a towel and began to wrap it around his waist.
“Just wait, Jason. I will invite the whole city on my birthday party, but not you. I was blinded by the excitement of my adult age Ceremony so that I thought of inviting you. But not anymore!”
Freya cursed him and stepped out of the pool, snatching the towel that Jason was wearing.
“Hey, you ruffian! Give my towel back. Didn’t you hear Will clearly? You should act on woman’s code of conduct.”
He tried to seize his possession, but Freya successfully dodged.
“That’s for William, not for you. Besides, there is not much to watch.”
She rolled her eyes and showed her middle finger at his growl and left victoriously. Jason noticed the black envelopes on the table and read it loudly.
“Royal family’s most beautiful single girl is having a grand birthday party as her adult age Ceremony. Please make sure to bring your invites to avoid weird questioning of my mom. P.S. An expensive present is compulsory for all the participants and girls must dress simply as this is my day. While attention and spotlight is all mine. Thanks.”
William’s eyes popped out at such a unique set of instructions.
“What kind of expensive gift should I buy for Freya? She is not like common girls who love jewelry and dresses.”
Jason casually put the card back in the envelope and savored a sip of fresh juice.
“First thought that came to your mind, listening after this is about the present.
Cool!
Like she wrote such a pathetic paragraph specially for the Royal family. Dummies like you will happily buy her presents like she is the only one to have this Ceremony. What a narcissist she is!”
The Adult age Ceremony was a pinching point for Jason as the Royal Council didn’t approve his application and gave him an ID card at eighty years old age when his wolf surfaced for the first time.
William smiled at his brother’s complaint and punched his shoulders.
“Why are you fuming, champ. Oh, you are not invited, that’s why? You messed up with a wrong girl, dude!”
William took a look at the card and joked about it.
“Now, I see why are you so excited about the Ceremony!”
Jason turned to defend his verbal attack.
“Buy a diamond necklace with anything related to Harry Potter’s world, your both dates will be happy.”
He winked at confused William, who was not comprehending behind the meaning of Jason’s suggestion.
“I understand that Freya is obsessed about Harry Potter movies but why a diamond necklace? And for your kind information, I am not having ‘a date’ for the Ceremony.”
“Cherry is Freya’s best friend. She will definitely come for her party. So, I was just recommending a welcome gift for her. After all, it would be her first visit to her future home.”
Jason bombarded him with this special news and started scrolling social media, as William was engrossed in the developments of the near future.
…
Alpha King’s Throne Room
In a luxuriously decorated Grand hall, the ceiling was supported with several gold-plated pillars, off-white floor of pure marble and white painted walls adorned with exquisite paintings and different antique pieces of art were placed on side tables.
Two rows of dignified officials were in grave silence as Alpha king Jasper Maximus was hearing an important rift between the Werewolves and the Vampires.
“I have come here with plenty of hopes, Your Majesty. Only you can do justice for me.”
Sienna, the widow of Alpha Henry Jackson, was kneeling in the middle of the room before Alpha King.
“My mate was killed by these Royal Vampire’s family members. Now, they are trying to overcome our Pack too. I'm afraid that's not right in many ways, Your Majesty. Please, help this powerless, grieving widow.”
She rested her case and cried piteously, gaining the sympathies from the court officials.
Alpha King Jasper flicked his hand for her to raise and stood up respecting the Vampire King, Allen Ellsworth, as he was pursuing this case in person.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Allen bowed his head and reciprocated Alpha King’s respect.
“During my reign of two centuries, the Vampire Kingdom has avoided any kind of interfere in the Werewolves’ Packs, as my Queen belongs to the prestigious bloodline of Lawrence werewolves.
I want your permission to state some facts as we don’t want any riot leading to disturbance in peace between both races.”
Allen greedily glanced at the Royal throne made of gold, exquisitely adorned with gems and rare diamonds.
“Go on, Lord Allen. I appreciate your good will for peace.”
Allen bowed his head and initiated his arguments.
“This report about the whole incident in the Shadow Moon Pack is signed by Alpha Lawrence and elders of the Pack. One of them is also a part of the Werewolf Council.”
He presented a file to the Royal advisor William, who was standing beneath the Royal Throne.
“To save precious time of my respected peers, I will state a short summary about late Alpha Henry Jackson’s death.
Chloe Parker, my elder sister-in-law, is a member of the Shadow Moon Pack, whom Alpha Henry identified as his first chance mate, shortly after her 18th birthday.
Due to some unspeakable reasons, he marked a wife from the same Pack who was also a class fellow of my sister-in-law.
Then after receiving Heaven’s tribulation of not having an Alpha pup, he returned to claim her. But my elder brother had marked her already at that time, claiming her as his second chance mate.
To clarify this situation, agreement between Vampires and Werewolves came in action and Alpha Henry lost the challenge in traditional hand-to-hand combat and, unfortunately, his life too.”
He paused dramatically and looked at the disgusted crowd, which was furious at Alpha Henry’s cruel treatment of his fated mate.
Allen concealed his smile that he had won the first round against Sienna.
“As my sister-in-law is the true Luna of Crystal Pack, so automatically, this Pack is hers after Alpha Henry’s death. But still, we offered five million dollars money to the widow Alpha left behind so that she can spend her life peacefully.
This trial and discussion over an obvious matter is out of my mind, Your Majesty.”
At the end of his long statement, Allen glanced at his friends for aid and then sat back on his chair after bowing in respect.
Alpha King read the report and checked the official’s expressions to judge their perception.
“Alpha Lawrence report with video evidence has cleared the misunderstanding. The Moon Goddess is really gracious towards Royal Prince Edith Ellsworth to bless him with a werewolf as his second chance mate.
As for signing official papers, the court will expect Royal’s daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chloe Ellsworth to come here to the capital.”
William, who was sitting beside the Vampire King Allen, stood up and presented signed documents.
“Your Majesty, according to the Vampire’s rules, newly mated couples can’t leave the Vampire Kingdom before the first three months of mating. Royal Aunt has signed the treaty, please take a look.”
The Vampire King admired his son that he was too genius to get these papers signed at the sudden dinner party arranged by Edith.
“These Royal documents are fine, but as you mentioned that new mated couple cannot leave the kingdom, there must be a temporary official for the Pack’s inner matter. What do you say, Lord Allen?”
Alpha King closed the file and addressed to Vampire King Allen directly, who was enthusiastic to reply his query.
“My son, William. He is the Crown Prince of the Vampire Kingdom’s throne. He is the best candidate for the Crystal Pack’s temporary administrator.”
A stern face Royal advisor stood up in opposition,
“Werewolves will never accept a Vampire ruler over them. It’s against the Moon Goddess’s rules, too.”
Alpha King Jasper looked at Allen Ellsworth, who was shunned after this to the point of logic. Finally, he cleared his throat and was about to announce Werewolf official for this post, just then a commanding growl resonated the whole throne room.
“Or that one could be me. What do you think, Alpha King Jasper Maximum?”
