The Lycan King

Nikolai

"Oh my fucking Goddess." Dimitri said under his breath when we entered the gates of the palace and started walking past the gardens.

After making love in our new home and then fucking like starving rabbits, Ava and I made our way back to the Montana Pack. Without any sort of illusion or difficulties.

The piranha river was still there, sans the piranhas, with a curved stone bridge built over it to cross it. A trail was also there that lead us back to the pack through the easiest route. I suspected that the lady had something to do with this.

I had informed Dimitri that Ava and I would be going for a little trek but he was still very worried, along with the rest of my family because we had been gone for more than twenty four hours. That's when I told them about our whereabouts and what exactly had happened on top of the mountain, including the silver haired lady and how we put our blood over the doors and how we made an entire palace.

My brothers first thought that I was messing with them. Even Javier didn't truly believe us but he knew that the mountain was filled with strange powers and anything was possible.

After that, I had contacted my architectural company and told the wolves to be on the mountain today, we have lots of things to build. Starting with concrete roads and houses made out of cement and bricks that don't catch fire easily. No wooden house from now.

The entire day Dimitri, Max, Natalia, Javier, Ava and I were busy planning the landscape of the pack in a way that would be easy to build, strategically superior and aesthetically appealing. I signed contracts upon contracts with the suppliers, contracted workers and pack members who would either like to build their own homes or would like to buy one of the houses from me at a subsidised rate.

I also contacted Mikhail and Andrei to announce the news in the Rogue pack and that anyone who wished to move was welcome. I also told them that they could choose whether they wanted to live there or here. Both of them instantly said that they wanted to come and live here, with family and that the kids were excited to meet us again too.

The next day, much to Dimitri's pleasure, us, along with a lot of curious pack members?? which was most of them, hiked up the mountain to see the peak of the mountain no one had yet dared to explore and of course our palace.

The work had already started but it will take at least a couple of months to finish everything. I could feel everyone buzzing with excitement when their eyes fell on the palace which was still a couple of miles away.

"Dibs on the biggest room." Dimitri's eyes sparkled.

"The biggest room is ours." Max smacked his head and Nat snickered when Dimitri turned to glare at him.

"Your rooms are already allotted." I informed them. "Ava and I have made them and there will be no further discussions." Those two grown men argued more than teenage girls.

"It's beautiful." Nat said in awe while the rest were rendered speechless. They couldn't help but stare at the palace, mesmerised. I could also see the bewilderment in their eyes and sense it that they were shocked that it wasn't freezing here. Well it was colder than the Rogue Pack where it was warm all year round but this the perfect temperature.

"Thank you." Ava smiled.

I took Ava's hand in mine and we climbed up the steps of the entrance before turning to look at the pack that had gathered near the entrance.

"This is a new beginning." I started, looking at my people. All of them looked up to us with love, respect and adoration. "This isn't just a palace, this is our home. This isn't just a mountain, it's our land. This isn't just our pack, it's our family. The Rogue Pack, the Montana Pack?? both of them. To celebrate this union, Ava and I have decided to rename our pack, finally making them one."

I brought Ava's hand up and kissed the back of it. "Would you like to tell them the name?"

She nodded, smiling.

"This mountain is sacred for us. It has given us the gift of home. This mountain is a home to not only werewolves who worship Goddess Luna but also vampires who worship God Sol. And in honour of this mountain?and?all of us, the new name of our pack is Soare-Luna Pack." Ava announced and everyone burst into excited cheers.

"You look ravishingly beautiful,?Moya?Lyubov." Nik leaned again a column and looked at me through the mirror in front of us.

I had worn a ivory grown with intricate golden patterns on the top bodice that hugged my figure and the bottom puffed a little, ending in a long trail to give it more of a princess-y look. The dress was beautiful and so was the perfectly done makeup. Tessa helped me put on a red royal mantel with delicate white and gold handwork that went amazingly with my dress.

Grinning at him through the mirror, I turned around and walked to him. "You look extremely handsome as well." Nikolai was wearing charcoal grey tuxedo with a more masculine version of my mantel. It went well with his tuxedo.

Tessa and a slave stepped forward with a cushion each in their hand. On them, sat our crowns that we had received in Mozog. This was the true symbol that this pack was not just for wolves but for vampires as well.

Nikolai took my crown and place it on the top of my head with a soft smile. I took his crown and he bowed a little before I placed his on his head. When he straightened up, my heart thudded like the first time I had seen his beautiful face. I had thought that he was my dark prince. But he turned out to be the king who made me a queen.?His?queen.

The heels helped my height so I tipped my chin up and kissed him. He kissed me back softly, his thumb and forefinger holding my chin.

"What about your lipstick?" Nik rasped after I broke the kiss.

"It's smudge and stain proof." Thank you Tessa.

A smile grew on Nik's lips and he kissed me again. "Let's go, it's time."

Nodding, I put my hand in his and we made our way to the ballroom.

Today was officially the first day of our pack. Well not exactly the first day, but the first day after which all the pack members will start living on the mountain. The final construction work had been finished last week and for this entire week, we had been doing paper work of the families that had shifted here.

The only reason we were able to do all of this so quickly because each and every member of the pack had volunteered to help us. They saw the wonder Nik's leadership had done in Montana in such a short span of time and they trusted him deeply.

We had thought that there will be friction between wolves from both the pack but then that misconception flew out of the window when several wolves met their mates and realised that either one of them were not bad.

Also, Nik's promise of punishment to bullies and discriminators worked wonders.

All of them worked together and in about three month??s time, most of the work was finished. Now, only the small details remained like decorative pieces or gardening in the backyard.
