Feeling prim and proper, I’m ready to go down to the great hall. Saskia opens the chamber door for me, and we find Alec and Magnus standing together with their mouths gaped open.
Saskia clears her throat, ‘Alpha Magnus, King Alec, it may help if you both stop drooling and have some decorum around your Luna and Queen,’ she smirks.
They both shake the thoughts from their heads and compose themselves.

‘My Queen,’ Alec says as he gets down on one knee, takes my hand, and places a kiss upon it.

Magnus glares at him and kneels, taking my other hand, ‘My Luna,’ he says, kissing my other hand.

Neither of them moves but continue to gaze into my eyes. I can’t help but notice they are discreetly elbowing each other as if to push each other away.
I laugh, ‘Which one of you handsome men will escort me to the hall?’ I ask.
‘I will!’ they both say and look at each other. I stand between Alec and Magnus and allow them to take an arm on either side of me and smile.
‘Both of you, it will be then,’ I grin.
We enter the great hall together, arm in arm. Magnus and Alec are proud as they escort me toward the thrones. I beam with surprise as I notice three thrones instead of the two, I saw earlier, but these three are different and much more beautiful than I could ever imagine. The smaller glimmering throne sits between the two larger ones. They are made from a semitransparent precious stone. They are opalescent in shades of dark blue and silver. I smile up at Alec.
‘I thought it would make you happy having Magnus sit equally with us?’ he says.
‘Alec, thank you,’ I say.

‘How did you make them?’ I say, gliding my fingers along the smooth stone arm of my throne.

‘Yiselda and the others wanted to surprise us with a gift. I told them we lacked a chair for Alpha Magnus, and we came up with the idea of matching thrones. Together the witches and Kadva conjured them up using a Moonstone,’ he explains.
‘Moonstone? Is that what these are made from?’ I ask, taking my seat. Magnus and Alec sit beside me on their thrones, and Reaper perches himself on the back of mine.
‘We thought Moonstone would be most appropriate and a gesture to the Moon Goddess,’ he smiles.
‘Well, I think they are simply magnificent, and you both look powerful and prominent sitting in them,’ I say, looking between them.
They smile.
‘Let the celebrations begin,’ Alec shouts.
Everyone cheers. A musician plays the lute while two others play the drums. Servants carry trays of bread, cheese and fruit out and spread them across the tables. More come out with trays of meats and jugs of wine and rum.

‘Make sure you all join us too,’ I say to the servants.

They smile and sit at the long tables amongst the werewolves, witches and vampires. Saskia approaches and fills my goblet with wine and then fills Magnus and Alec’s with rum.

‘Oh, Saskia offered to be my handmaiden, and I accepted her kind offer,’ I inform Magnus and Alec.
‘It’s an honour to serve my Queen,’ she says and then curtsies to Alec, ‘And to serve my King, of course,’ she adds.
Alec nods but doesn’t reply to her and sips his rum.
‘Can vampires become drunk?’ I ask curiously.
‘Yes,’ he smirks.

‘Do you like rum?’

‘Yes, but I would prefer to drink something else,’ he says, glancing seductively at my neck.

I blush.

‘You’ve had your quota for the day, Alec, so stick to your rum,’ Magnus huffs.

Alec rolls his eyes, lifts his goblet to Magnus, and drinks.

We eat, drink and watch everyone dance and enjoy themselves. It must be close to midnight by the time we retreat upstairs.

Alec stops at our chamber door, ‘Sleep well, my Queen,’ he says and kisses me passionately before I follow Magnus to bed.

‘Sweet dreams, my King,’ I whisper back. Alec closes the chamber door behind me.

‘Before you undress, I’d like to dance with you right now, right here,’ Magnus smiles, holding his hand out for mine. I nod, place my hand in his, and we waltz around the large space in our room.
We finish the dance with our hands all over each other, kissing each other hungrily. We fall back onto the bed. Magnus playfully nips my neck where he marked me. The moon illuminates the room. We remove our clothes and make gentle, passionate love to one another.
The next few days go by quickly. Everyone has settled in nicely. I spent the last few days helping to plant and grow fruit, and with some magic, we were able to make them grow overnight. I spent some time with May and the other witches last night. We swam in the lake, and they told me what potions they had been making that day.
Saskia helps me dress and ties my hair up high. Magnus has already gone downstairs for breakfast. So, I ‘Skedaddle Dash’ down the stairs and join Magnus and Alec for breakfast.
‘Today, I want to visit Maia and maybe even pay a visit to Wolfwell. You should both come with me?’ I say.
‘Sure, I’d like to see how my brother and sister are going, and I’m sure our parents would love to see us too,’ Magnus says.
‘I will go to then,’ Alec nods.

We finish our breakfast and enter the courtyard. Children play, and people make all sorts of items in the workshops. Swords, knives, bows, armoury, candles, shawls and tunics, to name a few. We walk behind the blacksmith’s workshop and enter the portal.

I skip up the stairs of Moon Crest Castle and greet Maia with an embrace.

‘You must tell me how you are settling in?’ she smiles.

Her violet eyes are simply gorgeous as they sparkle with delight.
‘It’s been amazing! Everyone is happy, and the island is so peaceful and beautiful,’ I say as Magnus and Alec walk behind us.
‘You should all join us today to watch the orc trials at the arena?’ Maia offers.
‘Aren’t the orcs all still children?’ I inquire.
‘Yes, but they are very hardy creatures. They have been begging King Damon and me all year to allow them an arena to fight. It’s in their blood and nature to put on a show of strength and to see who amongst them is the strongest. The strongest are more likely to become a chief or even the war chief when they are older. It’s how they figure out their rankings amongst each other, and some of them will be teenagers in a couple of years. Once they are eighteen, they can create their clans and become chiefs. It’s mainly wrestling; all they have to do is have their opponent on the ground for a couple of seconds, and they win the round,’ Maia explains.
‘That doesn’t sound so bad,’ I say.
‘Well, the arena is finally built, and Sir Hugo has been training them almost every day for months. Today is their first day of the orc trials.’
‘Oh, I’m hoping to visit Wolfwell today. Do you think I’ll have time to see my parents?’ I ask.
‘Why don’t you go to Wolfwell now and invite everyone back to watch the orc trials with us?’ she suggests.

‘Great idea,’ I say, grabbing Alec and Magnus’s hands, and I pull them down the stairs and to the portal.

We step through, and I race straight to my parents’ house.
‘Mum!’ I say, flinging my arms around her as she opens the door.
‘Nina, I’m so happy you came to visit me. It’s been a few days,’ she frowns.
‘A few days isn’t that long, Mum,’ I reply.

‘Hello, Mother,’ Alec says sweetly to my Mum.

Magnus elbows Alec and glares at him. ‘What? We’re practically married to Nina, which makes her mother our mother-in-law,’ Alec points out.

Magnus rolls his eyes at him.
‘You’re just trying to score points with her, so she favours you more as her daughter’s mate than me,’ Magnus argues to Alec.
Alec scoffs, ‘If that’s what you think, then so be it. I don’t need to compete with you for everyone to see I’m the better mate. They already know I am,’ Alec chuckles and slaps Magnus on the back.
‘That’s it. I can’t take your arrogance any longer!’ Magnus says and shifts into his wolf, tackling Alec.
‘Tea?’ My mother offers as we completely ignore Alec and Magnus wrestling each other in the background.
‘Tea sounds wonderful right about now,’ I reply nonchalantly.
My father returns home and casually steps over Alec and Magnus, who pant with exhaustion on the floor.
My Mother and I have just finished our hot brews.
‘Nina, is there a reason your mates lay bloody and bruised on my living room floor?’
‘Just ignore them, Dad. They’re just being childish,’ I say.

‘Hmm, speaking of children,’ my mother says, ‘Will we be expecting any grandchildren anytime soon?’ she asks.

My back straightens, and I look over to where Alec and Magnus lay.

In a blink of an eye, they have both fled the house. I can see a cloud of dust forming from the speed they exited via the front door, which swings open due to their dramatic exit. 

This time, it’s me rolling my eyes.
