Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 273: The Coronation Ceremony 

Jerome's POV:

Jennifer's coronation ceremony began soon.

The event was rushed as there was very little tfor preparation.

As such, only members of the Rainbow Pack were able to attend the event.I spoke to Skylar about leaving right after attending Jennifer's coronation ceremony.

However, since everyone had heard about Skylar's special power, we attended the ceremony in disguises and watched the whole thing from a corner, so as to avoid any unnecessary chaos at the ceremony.

Anthony personally presided over Jennifer's coronation ceremony.

The proud werewolves of the Rainbow Pack cto pay their respects.

It seemed as though most members supported Jennifer.

I was glad.

It was a beautiful sunny afternoon when they publicly announced the coronation of the first she-wolf to be the Alpha with everyone bearing witness to such a momentous occasion in the history of the Rainbow Pack.

Anthony stood on stage gracefully and said, "Now, let's welcthe new Alpha of Rainbow Pack, Jennifer."

Jennifer cto the stage dressed in a stunningly exquisite dress, fit only for an Alpha.

Her gait was of assured confidence and she bowed her head in respect to everyone.

"Hello, everyone.Today, I stand before you proudly, as the new Alpha of the Rainbow Pack.We have made history by showing the world that a she -wolf can also be fit to rule a pack.I vow to protect and lead our pack to prosperity in the future."

Jennifer spoke with conviction and compelling kindliness.

The werewolves seemed impressed by her as they ungrudgingly applauded her.

"Long live our new Alpha, Jennifer!"

Tony stood up and took the lead in pledging loyalty to Jennifer.

Seeing this, the other elders also bowed to Jennifer and said, "Long live Alpha Jennifer! We believe in you, and we will try our best to assist you in any way we can!"

I was so happy to see such a scene.

Our parents would have been very proud.

Their daughter had finally grown up to becthe Alpha of our pack.

At the end of the ceremony, they set off fireworks in the sky as the pack was full of joy and merriment.

"Everyone loves Jennifer!" Skylar whispered to me.

"Jerome, I'm really proud of her!"

I nodded and replied, too."

At this time, Jennifer stood on the stage and began her speech.

"Hello, everyone.It's an honor to be the new Alpha of Rainbow Pack.I believe many of you know that my father is Lewis, the former Alpha.Although my father is no longer with us, I still remember his teachings.I am the person I am today, all thanks to my father's guidance."

Tears welled up in Jennifer's eyes.

"Thank you for your support.I will try my best to live up to his nand keep the pack he left behind safe."

Jennifer's POV:

I never felt more nervous than I did when I gave a speech in front of everyone.

The lump in my throat felt like it was the size of a cannonball.

The image of my father appeared in my thoughts when I mentioned him and somehow I could feel his power surging through me.

I would do everything in my power to protect the Rainbow Pack.

The moment I finished my speech, the sound of people cheering and applaudingshook the venue.

The coronation ceremony had gone through a lot better than I had anticipated.

I was officially the Alpha of Rainbow Pack.I had to pinch myself to believe that it was really true.

It was a wonderful feeling, but I didn't have tto think about it carefully, since I got pulled to the celebration party.

All the elders attended the party.

Anthony and I walked to the table and proposed a toast to the elders.

The elders knew that I was pregnant, so they didn't make things difficult for me.

They letoff easily after just one drink.

However, Anthony joined them in the revelry.

In fact, he was having such a good twith them that he almost forgot that he was a prince.

Tony sighed.

"Alpha Jennifer, you and Mr.Jones are a perfect couple!"

Anthony put on a sincere smile and said, "Thank you for your kind words.Indeed, I am lucky to have a mate like Jennifer.I never thought that I would fall in love with someone so deeply before.I believe we will be happy together."

Anthony's words madeblush again.

I shyly glanced at him and whispered, "Anthony, I need you to behave yourself in public."

"What do you mean? What's wrong with my behavior?" Anthony winked atplayfully.

Seeing him like this madefeel warm inside my heart.

I found myself feeling helpless to his boyish charms.

In truth, I didn't have a problem with Anthony expressing his love forin public.

Although the awkward glances madeuncomfortable, I couldn't deny the fact that it also made me feel loved.

In the middle of the party, I stood up from my seat.

I was still worried about Skylar and Jerome.

They weren't at the party for obvious reasons, so I decided to see them in their room.

"I'm sorry, everyone.I'm feeling a little drunk.I'm going to get srest for a while.I hope you all have a good time."

I made up an excuse and left the banquet hall with Anthony.

"I'm not drunk.I just want to see my brother and Skylar, " I explained to Anthony after walking out of the banquet hall.

Anthony wrapped his arm around my waist and said, "I knew it.You only had one drink.Con, let's go."

Anthony and I stood outside Skylar and Jerome's room and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door was opened from inside and Skylar cout.

"Jennifer, what are you doing here? You looked incredible at the coronation."

When I thought about parting with Skylar, I felt sad, but I didn't want her to feel bad about it.I forced a smile on my face and said, "Thank you, Skylar.By the way, when are you two thinking of leaving?"

Jerctoand said, "We've booked air tickets for tonight.We'll be leaving soon."

Anthony nodded and took out a black card from his pocket.

He handed it to Jerand said, "Jerome, this is a pass with a royal seal.With this, you can freely enter and exit the royal palace.If you need any help, do not hesitate to cto us at any time."

Jertook the pass and sincerely expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, Mr.Jones."

I talked with Skylar for a while, and then my phone suddenly rang.I glanced at the phone screen to find that Daniel was calling me.I answered the phone.

"Daniel, what's up?"

"Congratulations, Jennifer.We heard that you've taken over the position of Alpha today.Unfortunately, your coronation ceremony was held in such a hurry that Helen and I couldn't make it.We're really sorry," Daniel apologized sincerely.

"Oh, it's no big deal, Daniel." I smiled.

"Anthony and I are getting married soon.You have to attend our wedding."

"That's settled then, Jennifer," Daniel said.

"See you later."

After I hung up the phone, Anthony held my hand with a smile and reminded me, "Honey, it's tfor you to go back to the party.After all, they are celebrating your big day."

I nodded and looked at Skylar and Jerome.I could tell that they were reluctant to leave me.

"I will miss you, Jennifer." Skylar hugged me.

I hugged her back and said, too."

I had to leave in a hurry after that because I didn't want to cry.

However, I asked one of the maids to prepare sfood for Skylar.

When I cback to the party, I saw werewolves going in and out of the banquet hall.

"Anthony, I've becAlpha and we're finally getting married.Isn't it amazing? My only regret is that Skylar and Jerwon't be attending our wedding."

The exhilaration of the unpredictable future and our disappointed expectations leftwith mixed feelings.
