Three hours later, sweaty, and covered in grass, I headed inside to shower. Shockingly, none of the guys intruded. I was only a little disappointed. I redid my hair and put my crown back on, so it was one less thing to do later.
Jogging down the stairs, I found them in the living room playing a card game. “Are we ready to head to the celebration?” Dan, Emrys, and Katar had insisted on holding a celebration party for our crowning, one that was going to be a full red-carpet affair.
“Yes, we need to get to my parents’ early so you can get changed,” Caleb said.
“Right,” I sighed. The dress I had on for the ceremony was pretty, but not red-carpet worthy. Jolie and Leona had purchased a dress that they weren’t letting me see until I put it on today.
“Are we getting picked up?” Branson asked.
I shook my head. “No, I’m going to teleport us.”
“Getting pretty good at it, huh?” Caleb asked. “I think I’m going to have to step up my mage training to get on par with you.”
“I think it’s good to have varied strengths in our pack,” Triston commented. “Helps ensure in any situation we have someone who can handle it.”
“Yeah, but what if we get separated again?” Caleb asked. “Whoever saves the others may not escape or get lucky enough to have Kieran show up.”
Folding my arms across my chest, I narrowed my eyes and asked, “Oh, are we fighting today? I thought today was a day for celebration and smiles.”
He exhaled and kissed my cheek. “I’m sorry. Let’s go. We can fight later.”
Snorting, I waved them towards me. “Let’s go.”
Once all of them had a hand on me, I teleported us to my bedroom in Jolie’s house.
“See you in a bit,” I said and headed out of the room.
My walk was stopped as Caleb grabbed my hand, spun me around, and kissed me so passionately, my legs were instantly weak.
He pulled back, kissed each of my cheeks, and said, “I told you that you were my queen. That crown looks good on you.”
“Such. A. Tease,” I hissed at him, grabbed his head, and pulled him down for another kiss before stomping out of the room and to Jolie’s.
She smiled when she saw me. “I knew that crown would look amazing on you.”
“Oh, your cheeks are flushed. Did you have pre-party celebrations?” Leona asked with a sassy smirk.
“No, but Caleb felt the need to tease me just after I arrived. That’s why I’m flushed.”
“Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, obviously,” Jolie said with a shake of her head.
“Did you post everything on your socials?” Leona asked.
I nodded. “And we created accounts for me.”
“I added her as a friend already,” Jolie said.
Leona gasped. “And you didn’t send me a friend request, Ember? I’m hurt.”
“I don’t really know how to,” I admitted. “They gave me a one-minute crash course.”
“Phone,” Leona said, held out her hand, and opened and closed it as she waited for me to hand it over.
Obeying, I watched as she sent friend requests to herself, her mates, and Jolie’s mates, too. She also added the kings and queens, but it didn’t look like they posted much on theirs.
“I’m surprised the kings and queens have profiles,” I said.
“They have people post for them most of the time,” Jolie admitted. “On nights like tonight, they will post photos from the event, though.”
