The Fall Ball -
Chapter 54
(Rose)
The crowd gets silent, as I let out a growl.
I walk down off the stage. I stop in front of Ashlee. She is glaring at me and letting out a low warning growls, I smile at her.
“You will learn your place or you will die. You are nothing to me. You have been declared a rogue and no harm will come to him if he kills you like he has said he would do.” I say to her.
The crowd gasps. I hear them talking with one another, about war. I shake my head at them.
‘With the laws a vampire cannot harm a wolf on pack land without starting a war.” Ashlee says, with a grin on her face. “Are you going to declare war before you even get the throne?” She asks.
I smile at her.
“Landon please come here.” He has been standing off to the side of the stage. He walks up to me with an old book in his hands.
“Are you familiar with what this book is? I ask Ashlee she shakes her head no. “How should I know what that dusty old book it?” She asks me.
“As you wanted to be the future luna of our pack, you should of taken the time to study some of our history. You could of focused on learning the laws of the pack, instead of thinking you know them. Because you are wrong.” I say with a smile.
I take the book from Landon and walk over to Ashlee.
“Well this is the book of laws for the wolf packs.” I say to her. I urn the book to the correct page. “And here is what I am looking for.” I say and turn to face the crowd again.
“It says here that a vampire cannot harm a pack member on pack lands.” I read aloud and I hear a few gasps from the crowd. I close the book.
“And Ashlee what are you?” I turn to her and ask. Her face pales as she realizes that I am not declaring war. I am just following the laws.
“Raymond here warned you. He told you before that you will regret everything you have put me through and here is that time.” I say to her. I turn back around and go back on stage. I stop next to Ash.
“The four vampires that I have watching over me are our friends. There is no need to fear them. They are here to protect me and our kingdom. I know you will have questions and in time we will have answers for you. But for now I need you to trust in us to keep you all safe.” I say to the crowd.
I get a few claps. I see my parents smiling at me. Alpha Jake and Luna Liz are smiling while watching me as well. I feel so proud of myself.
I did it, I think to myself. “No we did it.” Lilly says to me. “Yes that is true. Thank you for making me strong enough to do this, I wouldn’t of been able to do it without you.” I say to her.
“You would have, you have an amazing support system here for you. Everyone wants the best for you and will help you in any way that they can. You now have also earned the respect of most of the kingdom by standing up for yourself.” Lilly says to me.
“Thank you all for listening to what I had to say. That is all I have for you, I am gonna step down and let our King speak to you all.” I say to the crowd, and Ash leads me down the stairs.
I watch as the vampires take Ashlee and Abby away. They are crying and begging me to change my mind. I smile as I watch them go. At least I don’t have to worry about them anymore.
As I sit next to Ash, the King takes his place center stage.
“Well I do not have much to add to that.” He says with a smile.
“The ball is still in place for tomorrow evening to celebrate Ash’s birthday, and him replaceing his mate. But tonight is going to be a little different then we had initially planned. Rose here is also turning 18 this weekend. So tonight we are celebrating her.” He says looking at me.
“So lets get the festivities started!” He yells and the crowd cheers.
