The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter-Chapter 1006: BONUS - : NEW JOURNEY
Chapter 1006: BONUS Chapter: NEW JOURNEY
It had been decided that Zander and Zenith would stay in Ogregon continent and Zaya would come with Iris and Cane, since she was still so little and it was not necessary for her to stay behind in Ogregon continent.
"We have spent six years ahead of you with mother and father, now you can have them for a while," Zenith said when Zaya cried because she didn’t want to leave her brother, but she also wanted to come with Iris and Cane.
This must be the first hardest decision that she had to make. All this time, she had it easy, because everyone would cater to her need and she didn’t need to choose, because she people would happily get what she wanted.
But right now, she couldn’t be with her parents and her brothers at the same time and this made her very sad.
However, she understood the importance of why they needed to leave to Andelus Continent. She loved her father so much and she wanted him to get well soon.
"We will meet again, Zaya. I will write every day." Zander reassured her. "Don’t you want to hug me?"
Zaya lifted her head and let go of Zenith, before she gave Zander a big hug and cried in her brother’s chest.
Because of the urgency of the situation, the coronation for Zander as the new king would be held in a week. They did it in a rush to make it official that Zander would take the throne.
He was only sixteen years old when he was crowned as the king and Cane stepped down officially from his position.
It was the most hectic week, as the news came as a surprise and everyone had to prepare for this big event meticulously.
It was exhausting and emotionally draining. Everything went as a blur when the day of the coronation came.
But the night before the coronation, Iris found out that Zander, Zenith and Zaya slept together in Zenith’s bedroom. Her sister was very sad to leave them.
Hanna told her about this because she saw Zander and Zaya barged into Zenith’s bedroom, while bringing their pillows.
Iris entered the room and was greeted by this cute sight of her children’s sleeping faces. Zander and Zaya slept peacefully, while Zenith had this frown on his face. He looked like he was done with his siblings’ antics, but couldn’t actually do anything about it.
Iris walked toward them and gave them kisses, but when she approached Zenith, he was woken up.
"I am sorry, did I wake you up?" Iris whispered in low voice.
"No..." Zenith rubbed his eyes sleepily. "I have been kicked by Zaya twice. I can’t sleep."
Iris chuckled and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Do you want late night meal?"
Zenith thought about that and then nodded. "Okay."
With that the two of them went to the kitchen, but there were still a few omegas there, because tomorrow was a big day of the coronation and there were many people, who were still working on it.
"My queen, prince Zenith," the omegas greeted them both. "Is there something we can help you with?"
"It’s okay. We will just take some food and leave." Iris and Zenith took their food and turned down their offer to help. "Just continued with what you are doing. It will not take long."
After they got their food, the two of them left and went to the dining hall. This place had been decorated meticulously with the color of purple and black, the new color of their kingdom.
They took their seat and started to eat their food, while talking about trivial thing."
"I have not yet heard about your opinion regarding this decision, Zen," Iris mentioned about it.
Zenith lifted his head. "I think my opinion doesn’t matter, it has been decided already."
Iris stretched out her hand and grabbed his. "Of course, your opinion matter, Zen. Even though it has been decided, but I want to hear your take in this matter."
Because of his nature, Zenith didn’t really say his opinion, he only went with the flow and agreed readily, but not even once he said what he was thinking about it.
"So, tell me what you are thinking about this?"
Zenith gave it some thought and chose his words carefully. "I am glad father got the help that he needed and there is way to save him, but I feel like everything became so real. You are going to leave after the ceremony and Zander would be the king. I am not sure if I can be any of help. I feel at lost," he finally admitted.
This was the first time for Zenith to say that he was at lost, not like Zander, who was more opened with his feeling, he handled himself really well, until Iris sometime forgot that he was the same age like Zander. freeweɓnovel.cøm
"You are always helping Zander all this time, Zenith. More than you acknowledged it. You know how much your brother relied on you sometime." Iris caressed his head. "You are the rational one. How can you think that you are not helping him?"
"I think I have not done enough."
That was where the problem laid. Zenith always thought that he could do more, he had not yet done enough.
"You have done more than enough, son." Iris kissed his cheek. "Everyone knew that, but you. I am so grateful that Zander has you by his side. Knowing that you will be here with Zander, put my mind at ease. Thank you for taking so much responsibility when you shouldn’t have to."
Zenith lifted his head and saw his mother’s genuine smile and the gratitude in her eyes.
"Really?"
"Absolutely." Iris then asked again. "Why did you think that you have not yet done enough? Was there someone said something or insinuating that?" Iris would deal with this matter quickly if there was someone who had been whispering to her son’s ears this bullshit.
Zenith shook her head. "No one. I have those feelings in my head."
"You are too harsh on yourself, honey." Iris shifted her sitting position, so she faced him. "I am so proud of you, I am sure your father does too. Your siblings love you and you have done more than enough to help."
Zenith didn’t know why he felt this feeling, but he was afraid he was going to drag his brother down, if he was not being useful. People, who had been lurking around them to vie for power would use him to bring Zander down.
Zenith was always be sensible, even when he was still little, therefore, he could already sense the change in the political affair within the palace ever since Zander took their father’s task. His twin sibling might not really aware about this, because he was very busy to adapt himself with the new assignment.
More so, Zander had Jace and Ethan, who shielded him, therefore he was not really aware of this, yet Zenith could see how the people acted. The change was subtle enough for anyone to notice it.
"Thank you, mother. I will remember that."
"I am really glad to have you as my son, Zen. Remember that too."
After that they ate their meal and returned to their own bedroom, since it was already so late and they had to wake up early for the coronation.
Thankfully, the day of the coronation was Cane’s good day, where he managed to crown his own son to be the next king, the person, who would sit on the throne.
Iris watched the whole procession with tears in her eyes, she looked so proud of her son and this was a very heartfelt moment, where Cane passed down his title to his son.
Mark this day, the Ogregon kingdom welcomed their new king. The youngest king in the history, because Zander not yet seventeen at the time he was crowned. Some boy around his age were still playing out there and pulling stupid prank when he had to take the responsibility of the whole kingdom.
"I am so proud of you, son," Cane said in his weak voice. If he could get his wish granted, he wanted not to forget about this moment, this overwhelming feeling to see his son on the throne.
"LONG LIVE THE KING! LONG LIVE THE KING! LONG LIVE THE KING!"
Everyone in the main hall bowed down to their new sovereign, including Zenith and Zaya, while Iris and Cane, nodded solemnly to their son.
The festivities began until late at night, but at the same night too, Iris and Cane went to the harbor in the Chrystal Moon pack, where the pale moonlight reflected on the surface of the dark water. A big ship had been waiting for the king and the queen.
Later on, this pack would be named as Moonlight pack.
Zale and Lou would come with Iris and Cane, because Zale was Zaya’s personal guard and also Iris’s protectors, while Lou, the reason was too obvious...
"I love you, Zan. I love you, Zen." Zaya hugged both of her brothers.
"I love you too, Zaya, please take care of mother and father." Zander hugged his little sister. He would miss styling her hair.
"I love you too, Zaya." Zenith kissed Zaya’s cheek and the twin hugged their mother and father, as they said their goodbye.
It was so hard for Iris to hold her tears back, as she cried.
"Are we going somewhere?" Cane asked.
"Yes, love. To our new journey," Iris replied.
