Tristan and Aria stood in front of a huge wooden door, and the guard who was checking people in before allowing them through bowed at them and opened the door.
"We are one hour late." Aria whispered to Tristan who only smiled.
The moment the door was opened, Aria was surprised when almost everyone rushed to the front and bent one knee and bowed their head, saying.
"Long live Alpha Tristan!"
"Long live Luna Aria!"
Cole, who knelt at the front, stood up, and the rest of the members of the pack followed.
Aria smiled and looked at the man beside her. "You are really loved by your people."
"Not just me; you are also loved by them." Tristan said, tightening his grip on his cane as the sudden urge to cough almost conquered him. So far, he has been able to make sure that Aria never sees him cough up blood.
Cole came forward and said, "Please follow me."
Aria saw the two golden seats facing the crowd and knew that was where Cole wanted to lead them to.
