Sky's Rejection
Sky’s Rejection Chapter 41

(Sky’s POV)

I woke up in my mate’s arms. As I stared down at him the first thing, I noticed was my mark on him. It’s perfect. The way it shines, I love it. It’s a yin and yang sign. On one side is Dimitri’s wolf, Demon curled in and connecting with my snow – white wolf, Angel. On Dimitri’s wolf he has his glowing icy blue eyes and on Angel is her glowing violet eyes. There are golden sparks shooting out of our special yin and yang sign, wrapping around my name that is on the top of our sign. Wow.

“It’s breathtaking.” I whisper out in shock and wonderment. I can’t take my eyes off this beautiful masterpiece.

“I know you are,” Dimitri says, making my yelp. I didn’t know he was awake. He chuckles at my expense as my face turns red, heating up when I registered his words. “Qu’est-ce que l’amour? (What is love?)”

“My mark, on your shoulder.” I tell him in a whisper as I trace the outlines of it all. I honestly could stare at it all day.

“So is your,” Dimitri whispers, right before he applies a k**s right on my skin, where his mark sits. Tingles shoot through me as I feel a heat pooling in my stomach. The want and need I feel for him is unbelievable. I feel his every emotion, his every thought. I almost feel as if we share the same brain now.

“I want you.” I whisper shyly, his head snaps up and I see him staring down at me, the intensity making my body shudder in need. Everything he does just makes me want him more. His eyes display l**t and love. Before my mate can even decide his next move the door barges open, I push Dimitri off me, sending him rolling off the bed and onto the ground as I cover every inch of myself in the covers.

Samantha, Ariel and Dean crack up, bending over as their laughs increase.

“You just got thrown on the ground like a bag of potatoes.” Dean says between laughter. I can feel the glare and anger increasing with it.

“Sorry son, I came to get Sky so we can get her ready for the ceremony.” Samantha says as she tries to stifle her laughter.

“Take her.” Dimitri grumbles right before I feel Samantha and Ariel yanking me out of bed and out of the bedroom before I can even say goodbye to my mate.

‘Go back.’ Angel demands as I feel her want radiating for our mate.

‘Chill Angel, we get to get our nails done, make up and dressed up. Mate will be meeting us at the ceremony after.’ Rain says in excitement. These two.

“Where are we going?” I asked as I am still being dragged down the hall.

“Pampering before the ceremony. I know this wonderful woman that runs a spa like place.” Ariel says in excitement.

As we ran out of the house, Samantha and Ariel pulled me into a black SUV. It was spacious inside, designed like a limo, with the back two rows facing each other as they blocked the front row out of view. Ariel passed me a bottle of champagne and orange juice. Three glasses where in Samantha’s hands and I raised my eyes in question.

“What’s a Luna Shower with no mimosas? I am going to have a non – alcoholic one though.” Ariel said with a cheesy smile on her face. Then whispered, “That means just orange juice.”

I chuckled at what Ariel said, as if trying to hide her words but knowing everyone would have heard her. I poured the drinks and looked at the two in front of me. “I can not find the words to explain how thankful I am that you two are part of my life. To finally have a friend and mother figure after fifteen long and lonely years. Don’t get me wrong, I have had Ty for the last two years and I appreciate the Moon Goddess dropping him into my life when I was at my last straw, slowly giving up.” I shuddered thinking about the state I was in two years and how so much has changed. “Anyway, I have never done something like this before so…” I trailed off not really knowing what to expect.

“Well, we are going to have a blast. I go out and do this once a week and I can’t believe I finally have someone to come and join me. One time I dragged Mark with me, as he dragged Dean and then he dragged Dimitri. That was a sight to see. After they placed seaweed masks on their faces, they were sent to a mud bath. What they didn’t realize, was it stuck to you and then they went on to the steam room and saw a mirror before entering. I watched as the horrified expressions washed over their faces. The were like, nope never again. As all three of them ran to the shower and were out of the building before I could say wait.” Ariel babbled as she began laughing hysterically before all the words were even out of her mouth. Samantha sat there with an amused smile on her face, obviously knowing how those three boys are.

“We are here.” Ariel exclaims, as she jumps out of the SUV. How does she move like that, when that baby looks like it is ready to burst out?

“What a hyper Female Gamma you got there.” Samantha said with amusement swirling in her eyes as she followed Ariel towards the door. I am starting to think that this might not be the best idea for my first girl day out.

‘I miss mate, let’s just go back.’ Angel whimpered in my head. Now I must deal with these two too.

‘It has only been a half an hour. Wait, actually, for once I agree with her. Let’s go to mate.’ Rain cries. Let’s just get this done and we can go back to mate after, okay? I thought back to them.

(Dimitri’s POV)

I am standing at the end of the aisle my mother set up outside for Sky’s Luna ceremony. I haven’t seen her all day, causing myself and my wolf to be on alert. The aisle is lined with violet roses as I stand on the white wooden podium at the end. I am anxiously waiting for my mate to come down the aisle and to me. There is an arch of flowers over where I stand as the whole pack is gathered around.

‘I feel mate. I want mate. Where is she? You shouldn’t have let them take her.’ Demon annoyingly whines in my head.

“Thank you everyone for coming today and joining our celebration of the introduction to your new Royal Luna and my mate. I want to take this time to acknowledge the wonderful work the omegas have done to keep everyone fed and helping decorated for your Luna. I would also like everyone to appreciate the patrol warriors for their overtime on keeping our pack safe. There will be a wonderful buffet afterwards and I appreciate all of you. Enjoy.” I announce to the crowd, giving the pack the attention, they deserve. So many of them helped setting up this ceremony, working hard patrolling and protecting the pack.

Cheers abrupt when all of a sudden it stops, everyone turning in the direction of the end of aisle and I stare in complete amazement. There stands my mate with my father on one side and Ty on her other side. A long mermaid style white gown, making all of her curves prominent to the eye. Violet roses wrapped on an off – shoulder strap, down the front of her gown, causing her eyes to pop. Her smile radiating too not only me, but everyone around us. A slit at the end, making her one leg slide out and into view every step she takes. Silver heels that wrap up her legs.

I let out a small chuckle at the fact that she is perfect, as I stare lovingly at her. Amazing. Everything about her is truly astonishing, and this pack and all of werewolves will be lucky to have her as the Royal Luna Queen, she will be the best one we have ever seen. She looks absolutely stunning right now and radiates a confidence not many have. Everything about her screams power, shocking beauty, unexplainable love, and a need to feel her praise. I would be anything she ever needs and I would never deny her a thing.

‘If she asked us for our life, I would willingly roll over for her.’ Demon comments, as memorized by our mate as I am.

We will be her rock during rough times, a shoulder to cry on when she’s upset.

‘Then we will kill who makes her upset after she falls asleep.’ Demon growls, as if it has already happened.

We will be her King standing beside her. Her friend when she needs it, her lover when we feel like it, the father of to any and all of her pups. Her looks caught my attention from the first moment I saw her, the unique and breath-taking beauty she holds. It’s incomparable. Though the way she carries herself is what had me instantly hooked on her. The pride she has in herself even though she has been told her entire life she is worthless and weak, is astounding. The amount of power and strength she has, but chooses not to flaunt or force it onto anyone, is awe-inspiring. All of it, every bit of her, is exhilarating to me. No women have ever made me feel like this before and I know by looking at her, she is the only one that ever will.

My mate. My Queen. My everything.

‘Our mate. Our Queen. Our everything.’ Demon says in a dreamy voice and I know that Sky will always and forever hold our heart. No matter what.

“Focus Di.” Dean whispers, as he nudges me in the side. I didn’t even realize Dean, Mark, Ariel and my mother were already on the podium with me as I daydream about my mate.

(Sky’s POV)

“Sky, everyone can smell your nerves.” Dimitri’s Father, Tyson, whispered into my ear. I am standing at the end of the aisle, staring at my mate, the pack and all the wolves who have come in support of the Royal Luna ceremony.

“I am not nerves to be the Royal Luna and Queen to all.” I whispered back, as Ty side eyed me, showing that he is listening to the conversation.

“Then why are you nervous Sky? Is it Dimitri?” Tyson asked as I blushed slightly, quickly covering it up, as I thought about my mate. I could tell Tyson really care about why I was feeling nervous.

“I am just nervous something bad may occur. I feel as if at any moment something is going to crash down and ruin this, all of this.” I whispered, trying to keep it to myself. “Of course, it has nothing to do about you son.”

Ty looks at me in worry, typically my gut was something anyone would trust and knowing this is how I felt, I knew it wasn’t a good thing.

“No Royal Luna will come to harm while I am around. Trust in your mate too, plus you are strong Sky.” Tyson joked with me, giving me a wink before becoming serious, talking to my sincerely. “Just look at the way my son looks at you. He has never looked at anyone that way, not his friends, not even his parents. You do not need to be the only one watching your back anymore. We are all here for you now.”

“We are here. Always, all of us.” Ty said, giving an underlining look that told me he would keep a look out. I gave an appreciated smile towards him and then turned back towards Tyson. I nodded to him in response, right before we reached the stage. At that point, former King Tyson and Ty hands me over to Dimitri, my perfect mate.

“Welcome all, First I would like to thank you all for coming. Today is such an important day for the whole supernatural world. Today every single one of you will witness, Sky Royal Hollow, accepting our Royal Alpha King as her true mate, she will become our new Royal Luna Queen of the werewolves. Taking her rightful place beside Royal Alpha King Dimitri, as she will contribute and help our species grow and advance accordingly.” Former Royal Luna Queen Samantha says to the crowd with a smile. “Finally, after seven long years I can pass my title on and fully retire with my mate. I am thinking a beach.”

Everyone in the crowd chuckled in amusement as Dimitri rolled his eyes but the smile showed the love he held for his mother. Samantha’s eyes lit up, excited to make her subjects happy, even in the slightest way.

“I don’t know mother; we may need you for training purposes. What do you think, mon amour (my love)?” Dimitri said, with humor in his eyes as he nudged me slightly. His father seemed relieved, I could hear his thoughts, ‘ What is that crazy woman thinking? I will burn like a lobster on a beach. Better off painting me red instead.’ I stifled a laugh, trying to keep my emotionless display while on stage. I will be there for my subjects, but I also will show strength, Dimitri and I will be a solid front. I nodded in agreement to Dimitri, and I could see the amusement playing out in her eyes.

“Alright, alright. If I am needed, I will stay a short time. Maybe a grand baby will keep me here.” Samantha says with humor and happiness. The crowd laughs and I now realize how my decision is going to affect more than just Di and myself. His parents are going to want a grandchild. The pack will expect the next Alpha to be born. Panic and anxiety rush around inside me. I don’t let it show on the outside though and I know by the side look that Dimitri felt what I was feeling before I blocked it from going to him.

‘Are you alright, mon amour? (My love)’ Di mind linked me as he brought his focus back onto his mother. Though I felt the worry inside him from my feelings. Should I tell him?

‘You can’t tell him.’ Angel said in a panic.

‘I won’t lose mate from this. Just wait till the right time.’ Rain says with certainty, it is almost as if she knows something we don’t. When is really the right time though? I guess Rain is right and we shouldn’t spring this on him while we are sitting in front of the whole pack.

“Silence.” Tyson bellows to the crowd as her raises his hands up in a gesture for them to be quiet.

“Ready Hun?” Samantha whispers to me. Am I ready? No, but I need to do this. I nod in encouragement, causing Samantha to smile in pride. She leans away from me and begins to bellow out the questions, making sure everyone can hear. “Do you, Sky Royal Hollow, promise to uphold the laws of the werewolves and supernatural council?” Her authoritive Luna voice booming around the crowd. I heard a few gasps from the crowd, as not everyone knew that I was the daughter of late Alpha and Luna of the Hollow Blue Pack. Even being gone for fifteen years and they still are the golden couple everyone wanted to be and looked up too.

“I do, as per law.” I answer, as I straighten my poster. I let half of my aura out, letting everyone feel that I am acceptable for this position.

“Do you, Sky Royal Hollow, promise to be a fair and faithful Luna Queen to all of the subjects and your King?” Samantha continues as she looks so serious, but I see the humor and excitement glistening in her eyes.

I turn towards Dimitri raising my eyebrow at him. I see Ty and Henry out of the corner of my eye, both trying to hold in their laughter’s as they snicker in amusement. Normally that question doesn’t include the King. I respond as normal, “I do, as per law.”

“Do you, Sky Royal Hollow, promise to produce an heir for the werewolf kingdom, weather it be a new King or Queen, who shall ascend to the throne when the time is right?” Samantha asked the last question and I see the dreamy look of talking about a grand child brings to her.

What the hell am I supposed to say? How do I answer this? I think to my counterparts trying to figure out what I should do next.

‘Just answer how any Luna Queen would.’ Angel said with no hint of doubt.

‘I agree, we will figure our problem out with our mate, and he wouldn’t not take us as his mate either way.’ Rain says with no doubt in her voice. Maybe they are both right and I am just overreacting about this.

I swallow nervously, trying to work up the courage to lie in front of them all. Dimitri feels my nervousness running through our mate bond, damn it, when did I reopen that up? He squeezes my hand in reassurance and encouragement, obviously taking my emotions for a different reason than they truly are for. I straighten my back more, becoming a stiff board at this point, time to take this head on, “I do, as per law.”

My determination and protection the only emotions displayed on my face.

“I crown thy, Sky Royal Hollow, the Luna Queen of the werewolves.” Samantha declares as she removes her crown from her head and placing it gently on top of my head. “Please stick out your hand dear.”

The caring and loving tone in her voice is something I have missed for so long from my parents. They may not be here right now, but I know they are watching down, with tears in their eyes and happiness gleaming on their faces.

I nod as I place my hand out towards her. Samantha picks up the Royal Golden Knife and gently slicing my palm as I feel the warmth from her hand, then she slices her own as if not caring about how deep she goes. We link our hands together, connecting our cuts to each other’s, allowing the aura and power of the Luna Queen to be transferred to me.

I feel the power sugaring through every ounce of my body, as I feel it flowing through me.

Once I let go of Samantha and reconnect my hand with Dimitri, a golden and silver glow wraps around both of us, as our skin sparkles and a ball of light surrounds us.

“All hail, Alpha King Dimitri and Luna Queen Sky, King and Queen of the Werewolves.” Royal Beta Dean shouts to the crowd, and that starts all the crowd to chant along in unison with Dean as he repeats his statement three times.
