CHAPTER 53 : BALL
CHAPTER 53 : BALL
It was the day after shopping, and the ball had begun.
Luna had finally returned home with Draco at midnight, but she couldn't meet anyone because
everyone was asleep.
Everyone was surprised when Draco told them about Eliot the next morning, but no one said anything
because they knew it would hurt Luna's feelings.
The ball was going perfectly, as Alyssa and Loukas were having a good time, walking around and
greeting everyone, just like Draco and Ronin were doing with their mates.
Everything was going amazing, including the ball, but Alyssa was uneasy and felt as if someone was
staring at her.
“Lou, I feel like someone is staring at me.” Alyssa whispered in Loukas' ear, who sighed and gently
drew Alyssa to a corner.
“Darling, that's just your imagination,” Loukas said, making Alyssa sigh and respond, “But Lou, it's
making me shiver in fear,” as she held Loukas's arm and looked around.
“Darling, many people are looking at us because we are royals,” Loukas explained as he looked
around, but no one was there.
Alyssa muttered, "I know, but this gaze is different," as she averted her gaze, causing Loukas to sigh.
“I don't know Alyssa, but I will keep an eye on you, so don't worry,” Loukas said as Alyssa held
Loukas's arm and rested her head on his chest.
“You don't believe me, do you?” Alyssa inquired, and Loukas's eyes widened as he replied, "I ... I love
you, and your safety is my responsibility, but this time you are wrong," causing Alyssa to sigh.
Alyssa knew there was nothing she could do to persuade him, and he wasn't even sure if Amy, Sam,
and Kim wanted to kill the girls, but Alyssa knew only two royals believed them, and they were Jace
and Alexander because they had gone through the same incident.
“OK...maybe I'm wrong.” Alyssa stuttered out an attempt to change the subject because she knew
Loukas wasn't the right person to discuss this with and to top it off, Jace and Alexander weren't at the
ball.
“Hey, it's a big day, so smile for me,” Loukas said as he stared at Alyssa, who whispered "Okay" while
smiling, and Loukas mumbled, "That's my mate."
Alyssa and Loukas walked away as Alyssa noticed Luna sitting on the sofa, and Juliet joined her.
“C-Can I go and rest with Juliet and Luna?” Alyssa stuttered out, hoping Loukas would agree so she
could discuss the matter with them.
“Sure, why not, but where have Draco and Ronin gone?” Loukas inquired as they both looked around
when Alyssa's gaze was drawn to Draco and Ronin, who were chatting in a corner.
“Oh, look, there they are.” Alyssa giggled as Loukas replied, "Let's talk with them first," while Alyssa
hummed. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Loukas and Alyssa walked towards Ronin and Draco, with Loukas holding Alyssa’s hand.
“Why aren't you greeting everyone with your mate, Draco?” Loukas inquired as Draco turned around
and shrugged his shoulders, replying, "Moon is tired, and I don't want her to get sick."
“All right, what about Juliet?” Loukas inquired as he cast a glance at Ronin, who replied, "Juliet wanted
to be with Luna, so I agreed besides I know how boring it gets when greeting people and they are
humans, so they don't have much power like us" as Loukas hummed.
“You can go sit with Luna and Juliet,” Loukas said, looking at Alyssa. We'll go around and greet
people,” he said, smiling at Alyssa.
Alyssa smiled as she walked towards Luna and Juliet, who were sitting on a sofa, and waved at
Loukas, Draco, and Ronin.
“Hey, guys.” Alyssa greeted Luna and Juliet, who returned the greeting. “Oh, hey Alyssa,”
"Hi," Juliet said, smiling at Alyssa, who smiled back.
Alyssa inquired, "How was your trip to the human world?" while Luna giggled as she replied, "It went
great"
“I'm sorry I couldn't talk much with you or Draco and ask about your trip, but I heard what Eliot did from
Loukas.” Alyssa spoke up because she had become extremely ill after returning home from shopping
and had gone to bed to rest.
Luna smiled and said, "Yeah, it was scary, but Draco's true vampire form has been revealed." Alyssa
and Juliet gasped shocked.
“Wait, are you serious?” Juliet inquired, excitedly, as Luna hummed and responded, "Yeah, it is
amazing."
Alyssa inquired, "How does he look?" Luna responded, "His eyes go frost blue that looked like crystal,
his hair moon white, and his body had tattoos. It felt like I was floating in the sky, gazing at the moon.”
Juliet looked at Alyssa as they both smiled, noticing Luna's smile as she talked about Draco, proving
she loved him and enjoyed her short vacation with him.
“I don't get you.” Juliet spoke as Luna shook her head and opened her eyes, saying, "His eyes were in
frost blue color, crystals in the sky, and his hair was the same color as the moon, and just like how the
sky is black a little, his body had tattoos. It was like the moon had tattoos.”
Alyssa hummed as she said, "His powers are weather, like airpower, and you are Luna, which means
moon. You two really are mates." Luna's face flushed red with embarrassment at what Alyssa said.
Luna laughed and shrugged, saying, "Who knew my childhood bully would be my husband?"
“Who knew my childhood crush would be my husband?” Juliet said, smiling at Alyssa and Luna, who
giggled at Juliet.
“And who knew my childhood rival would be my husband?” Alyssa chuckled as her gaze landed on
Luna and Juliet, who were trying to hold back their laughter.
Alyssa, Luna, and Juliet burst out laughing as they tried not to make a scene because they were
princesses about to be crowned queens.
“That reminds me, guys, I have this strange feeling that someone is staring at me,” Alyssa said, trying
to control her laughter.
Luna hummed and said, "I felt the same and it made me want to puke so I asked Draco if I could rest."
While staring at Juliet and Alyssa.
“I felt like someone was digging holes in my head,” Juliet said, as Alyssa nodded her head in
agreement with Luna and Juliet.
“Loukas doesn't believe me and thinks it's all in my head,” Alyssa said. He doesn't think Amy, Sam, and
Kim want to kill us,” she sighed, rubbing her worried forehead.
“Draco doesn't believe me either and said end of the topic because he thinks Kim isn't this type of girl,”
Luna said, casting a glance at Draco, who was conversing with one of the guests.
“It doesn't matter because Ronin believes us,” Juliet said, attempting to lift Alyssa and Luna's mood.
Luna said, "He does, but we need all the help we can get," as Juliet smiled and hummed, "We've got
Jace and Alex on our side."
“Exactly Luna, we even have Maya, Ruby, Isabella, Mia, and Layla on our side,” Alyssa said as Luna
sighed relievedly, “That is great.”
“Yes, we just need to make sure that Loukas and Draco find out Amy, Sam, and Kim's true plan,” Juliet
said, as Luna agreed with Juliet that it would be difficult, but she needed to give it her all.
Alyssa said, "But for now, we need to protect ourselves," while Juliet said, "Or we can stay with our
friends and they can protect us," which made Luna laugh because she knew it was the best option.
“Our friends aren't here,” Alyssa said as Luna shook her head and said, “They just came, and look who
came with them,” as Alyssa looked at the location where Luna and Juliet were staring.
As she stood up with Luna and Juliet, Alyssa whispered, "Jace and Alex."
Alexander saw Luna, Juliet, and Alyssa and rushed over to them, hugging Luna first, then Juliet, and
finally, Alyssa as he giggled.
“I missed you,” Alexander laughed as he stared at his friends while holding Luna's hand.
Luna said, "We missed you as well, and we need to talk to you and Jace about our mates' ex-
girlfriends." As Alexander hummed.
“Maya told us everything, and we are on your side,” Jace said as he smiled at Alyssa, Luna, and Juliet,
who sighed.
“Yeah, but Loukas and Draco don't believe us.” Alyssa said as she stared at Jace, who nodded
knowing this would happen.
“They will soon believe you, and just stay strong because I will protect you three,” Jace said as he
looked at Alexander, who sadly smiled at Jace while Jace gently pinched Alexander's cheek.
The royal horn blew as Jace smiled at the girls and motioned for them to follow as they did what they
were told since they trusted Jace and Alexander a lot.
“Here we are,” Jace said as Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna looked around to see they were standing
backstage and looked outside to see Jace's and their mates' parents.
“BRO” Jace turned around to see Draco, who ran towards him and hugged him tightly because Jace
was Draco's best friend.
Jace said, "Hey guys," as he pumped his fist with Loukas and Ronin, while Loukas asked, "When did
you arrive?" to which Jace replied, "Just now and chatted with your mates a bit."
“The royal horn just blew, are you nervous?” Alexander inquired. Loukas shrugged and replied, "Not
really because I was prepared for this," as he wrapped his arm around Alyssa's waist who was wearing
an orange mermaid gown.
“I'm nervous,” Ronin said as he held Juliet's hand, who was dressed in a beige princess gown.
Draco said, "I just don't care," shrugging his shoulders as he wrapped his arm around Luna's shoulder,
who was dressed in a purple strapless ballgown.
Everyone stopped talking and it was quiet as the king took the microphone while he smiled at all the
guests.
“Welcome to the ball, and thank you for attending the ball. I would like to call King Jace and his mate,
King Alexander of the West, to come and bestow the crowns on my sons and their mates as they take
over my duties.” Michael Allan, the king and the father of Draco, Loukas, and Ronin, spoke while
everyone remained silent and listened.
Jace and Alexander walked up to the stage together, wearing their crowns and smiling at everyone
while they all applauded.
“I'd like to call my eldest son, Prince Loukas, and his mate Princess Alyssa on stage first,” Michael said
as Loukas walked up the stage holding Alyssa's hand.
“My son Loukas and his mate Alyssa will now begin to handle the east side and will be crowned king
and queen of the east side,” Michael said as Jace placed the king crown on Loukas’s head while
Alexander Alyssa’s queen crown on her head.
“I want to thank everyone for always being there for me and my mate. I will do my best to always listen
to you all and do my job well.” Loukas spoke as he looked at Alyssa, who said, "I will try my hardest to
be there for everyone and be the best queen so I can stay with Loukas and help you all," as the
audience applauded.
“Now I would like my second son, Prince Draco, to come up on stage with his mate Princess Luna,”
Michael said as Draco motioned his hand to Luna, who took it and they both walked up to the stage
together as everyone applauded.
Draco and Luna stood next to Alyssa and Loukas, staring out into the crowd.
“Draco and his mate Luna will now begin to handle the north side and will be crowned king and queen
of the north,” Michael said, as Alexander and Jace placed the king and queen crown on Luna and
Draco’s head.
“I may not be the best prince, but I will do my hardest to be the great king, listening to everyone and
taking my responsibilities seriously.” Draco spoke while smiling at the audience and looking at Luna,
who took a deep breath.
“I will try my best and stay with my mate and assist him in any way possible to solve all the
responsibilities and duties together because we might not be able to do it alone but together, we can
solve anything,” Luna said as she glanced at Draco who smiled at her while the crowd applauded.
Michael spoke up. “Last but not least, I would like to call my youngest son, Prince Ronin, and his mate,
Princess Juliet, on the stage" Juliet smiled at Ronin, who smiled back at her.
Ronin held Juliet's hand as they walked up to the stage, where they joined Luna and Draco, who was
standing next to Alyssa and Loukas.
“Ronin and his mate would take over all the duties and responsibilities of the south and would be
crowned king and queen of the south,” Michael said as Juliet and Ronin were crowned king and queen
by Jace and Alexander.
“I will do everything in my power to never disappoint anyone and to carry out my responsibilities
properly.” Ronin spoke confidently as he looked at the audience, while Juliet held Ronin's hand and
said, "We will try our best and do our duties and responsibilities on time," as the audience applauded,
making Juliet and Ronin smile.
“These are your vampire and wolf kingdom kings and queens.” Gavin Edmund, Jace's dad, an alpha
king wolf, spoke as Jace and Alexander stood next to Ronin and Juliet.
The kings and queens exited the stage while the girls smiled as they realized how their lives had
changed from being normal humans concerned with their universities to royals concerned with the
needs of others.
The ball resumed as they all enjoyed each other's company when Jace noticed Amy, Kim, and Sam
staring at Luna, Alyssa, and Juliet, and he knew they were up to no good.
