My Surprise Mate

Chapter 80 Part 2: Chapter 24 

Kyra POV

Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and before I knew it, the time had come to announce my reign to everyone.

Everyone had been so helpful as they tried to help me learn all of my various powers and how to control them; Blaze was the most beneficial, though.

We soon found out that, by mating with me, he had most of the same abilities I now have.We also think that is why I don’t feel as out of control as I did at the beginning.

He is the best mate I could have ever asked for.I have never seen someone be so protective, patient, and loving at the same time.I know I can be hard to handle on a good day, but even on my worst days, Blaze still looks at me and acts as if he is just meeting me for the first time.I don’t think I could have done this alone or with anyone else at my side.

"Hey princess!" my dad whispered as he walked up to me, wrapping me in his arms

"You ready for this?" he asked me.

I closed my eyes, loving how safe and familiar my dad’s embrace felt.I took a deep breath and sighed

"As ready as I'll ever be? Is Blaze back yet?"

I looked up at my dad, waiting for his reply.

"He should be on his way now.You know he wanted to make sure everything was in place," he smiled at me as he pulled away from me, looking at me.

"I know.I want Devin’s punishment to occur right after the ceremony while everyone is still here.."

Dad nodded his head in agreement "You have grown into such a beautiful, smart, kind young lady.I just want you to know that I have always been proud to call you my daughter.I know I may not be blood...."

I cut him off, unshed tears burning my eyes "You are my dad, and I have always my arms around him tightly as a tear slid down my cheek .I know you are the queen now and all, but never forget where your home is, and never forget that if you ever need me, I’m only a call away.You will always be my princess, no matter what.."

He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on the top of my head "Now, enough of that, I see Blaze coming.It’s time we start this ceremony!"

I smiled as he gently wiped away my tear and turned to lace his fingers with my mom’s before walking out onto the stage.

"You are ready for this, babe," Blaze whispered in my ear as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I know, just nervous, is all," I smiled at him.I peeked out the large curtain we were standing behind at the crowd that had gathered.

Everyone was here, it seemed.

The royal guards were everywhere you looked.

As my eyes scanned the crowd, I noticed how everyone seemed to be separated into their own groups.

The witches to one side, the wolves in the middle, the vampires to the back.

A small smile slowly made its way across my face as I spotted Dominick Tate, the King of Vampires, standing tall in front of his people.

His eyes briefly locked with mine, and I didn’t think he could see me for a moment until he bowed his head before smiling at me.

Dad walked on stage, a massive smile on his face

"I want to thank everyone for coming today.Having a large gathering with all walks of life present can be challenging.Still, I wholeheartedly believe it is worth it.."

He raised his hand to the side, motioning for me to make my entrance.As I walked out onto the stage hand in hand with Blaze, my heart began to race as realization hit me.

This is precisely what I had been shown.

Blaze squeezed my hand as he looked down at me knowingly.

"I am honored to present the new Alpha King and Queen, Blaze and Kyra Price, my daughter and son- in-law!!"

Dad's voice boomed with pride as the whole crowd broke Mom and Dad had huge grins on their faces as they both gave us hugs and stepped behind us.

"We would also like to thank everyone who showed up for this special day...." Blaze began talking.

"I challenge this so-called Queen Kyra!" A lady shouted as she pushed her way to the front.

Blaze let out a deep threatening growl.

This is the last part I was shown.I have no idea how it played out; the moon goddess wouldn’t let me see. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

The royal guards, along with my own pack, tightened their circle around us.

I could feel the tension build as the lady began to make her way to the stage.

"What makes you so special, a mere wolf, to be able to rule over us all! Can you even protect yourself from witches? How about vampires? Didn't one of your own, a royal werewolf, almost kill your mother and you as well? If you can’t even take on your own, how can you rule over anyone else??" she shouted angrily.

Of course, I knew at some point Devin would be brought into this, though I didn’t think it would happen today.

Blaze’s arm tightened around me as he tried to push me behind him, but now at the mention of Devin, my own anger was beginning to course through my veins.

This lady had no idea what Devin did and how he only managed to do it because I had yet to come into my own powers yet.

Slightly pushing Blaze’s arm from me, I stepped forward

"I know exactly what happened with Devin.Did you forget I was there?" I growled out at her "but that isa story for another time.I gladly accept your challenge, but I must warn you, you will not survive this.."

Her eyes narrowed at me "As one of the most powerful witches around, I doubt you will be the one walking away, dear.."

I jumped from the stage, ignoring the angry growls and snarls coming from the crowd.

"King Dominick!"

I yelled through the crowd, my eyes "You are aware of the rules of a challenge, correct?"

I questioned him.

"Yes, Queen.."

I nodded my head "Would you be so kind as to oversee this challenge.I feel it is only fair to have someone that is neither wolf nor witch.."

The woman in front of me smiled "l agree.."

I could feel the uneasiness rolling off of Dominick

"It would be an honor," he replied before ordering everyone to clear a circle.

"You don’t have anything to prove, babe," Blaze told me as he stood before me.

"That’s where you’re wrong.I have everything to prove.We knew I would have to do this, and you have prepared me well.No one else could have taught me to fight better than you," I smiled at him before giving him a kiss

"Have a little faith in me, mate.." I told him jokingly.

He didn’t laugh, though "I have no doubt you will win this and not have a scratch on you.I just don’t want you to have to do this.."

"You may not want me to, but I knew I would have to prove myself.You knew that.I’ll be surprised if you aren’t challenged soon too...." I gave him a quick hug before walking around him

"Ready...." I told Dominick as I stared the woman down.
