The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109: THE FINAL RITUAL(R-18)

Xaden now turned back to the crowd.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." He said. "But from what you could now tell. I had other urgent matters at hand."

Then he turned to the King. "Or do you have something to say? Whether he is your blood relation or not, the due course must be taken as it’s the law. Isn’t it?"

All their eyes turned to the King, who was seen as angry.

There was nothing he could do about what had just transpired. It was the ultimate judgment.

"Of course." The King said.

Xaden’s eyes twinkled, and his delicate cheekbones turned in the direction of the high priestess.

"I believe it’s time for the halo festival." He said. "I do not wish to make any more delays."

She bowed. "You shall come with me, my lord."

And together, they went away out to the planes of the castle grounds.

All the other Alphas and gammas stood present as he was led towards a massive and flat stone.

All the priestesses came up to him and seductively took off his clothes piece by piece and dropped kisses over him.

They knelt and touched his feet and kissed his hand as his body glistened like diamonds until he was utterly unclad.

A deer was dragged down by the other priestesses and made to be laid down on the flat stone

The high priestess sat beside it and gently touched it.

"Thank you for your sacrifice." She said to the bleeding.

Then she picked out her blade and stabbed it right in the heart.

A bowl was handed to her, and she used it to fetch the blood.

After that, she gracefully walked down to Xaden, who stood waiting for her.

She dipped her hands inside the bowl of blood and used it to mark his body as she made some incantations.

She marked it all over him as she recited the incantations repeatedly.

The crowd of wolves were only Alphas and their gammas.

No female was allowed to be present except for the priestesses.

They were untouchable.

However, if a female wolf was present, it could affect the transformation process, and Victor could pick the wrong maiden.

Then, the halo moon lit down on him, and he felt his body stretching, the power influencing him.

He growled and shook as he and his wolf fought for dominance.

His veins were outlined, and you could see his bones plummeting from his skin but remaining inside.

He growled and snapped as his teeth became more expansive and howled.

He was a complete wolf now.

His eyes were red and filled with fire.

His beautiful black skin and his massive countenance were where a wolf stood.

His hoofs were so strong that the ground trembled as he set one down.

Xaden’s true wolf was rarely seen, but when it was, he was almost always ready to exact his power.

They all went down on their knees for him.

Even the King set his eyes downcast.

They bowed, and he looked around them.
