I glance behind me at all the people who are supporting me and my decision. I keep my face blank and stern. All the boys in training, members from other packs, some of my older brothers, and Corbin. They are all 100 yards away except for Corbin. He is 10 yards closer to me.

I memorize everything about him and my brothers just in case anything happens to them. I know I'll be fine. It's the others that I'm worried about. I don't know how many people are supporting Leo and guarding the pack.

I face forward and take a deep breath. I begin to walk to the family pack grounds. Everything is calm, but I know within minutes everything is going to change.

Once I step onto the pack land, I make my way to the house because I know that's where my brother will be hiding.

He's such a wimp.

Half way to the pack house, I hear people start running toward me. I keep walking and soon several guards are standing in front of me.

"Why don't you guys just let me by that way no one gets hurt." I suggest and step forward. They growl at me and I shrug. "Fine. Have it your way."

They come at me full speed and knock me to the ground. My eyes flash as the breath is knocked out of me. My wolf takes over and shifts into my wolf form. She growls and throws all the guards off of her. She fights all of them off with ease and runs the rest of the way to the house.

She growls menacingly at the door and stalks the front part of the house. Sam passes by her and opens in the door. "Come on out, Leo!" Sam exclaims and backs away from the door. "You don't want her coming in there!"

After a few minutes her patience begins to decrease rapidly. She growls again and Leo appears in the doorway. Terror crosses his face when he looks into her eyes.

"Leo," Sam states and Leo breaks his gaze from her.

Leo lowers his head. "It isn't fair," Leo mutters through his clenched teeth. "She was always in the way. Dad never wanted me as Alpha after she came along. I had to do it to make sure dad didn't title her as Alpha."

My wolf growls and jumps toward him. She stands herself to her full height and holds her head up high. "I will be queen," she growls.

Leo's eyes widen and he stumbles back. He bows his head in submission of our power that we have hid for so long.

Over the next hour, we put Leo in a holding cell and all the Alphas from the surrounding packs come here. My wolf goes up to my old room so I can shift and puts some clothes so that I can explain what has happened. I put on a big tshirt and a pair of shorts and sit on the bed. Someone knocks on the door and I tell them to come in. Corbin walks in and shuts the door behind you.

"I didn't know I was mated to royalty," he grins and nudges my shoulder.

"Surprise," I smile.

"I think this deserves a celebration kiss." Corbin smirks.

I blush and turn my head away from him. "Dang it Corbin! I'm supposed to look tough talking in front of a bunch of Alphas. I can't be blushing!"

He laughs. "How about after you talk to the Alphas?"

"Corbin! Quit!" I exclaim as I feel my cheeks turn a deeper shade of red. I stand up and briskly walk out of the room. Corbin runs up behind me, picks me up, and twirls me around. He sets me down and kisses the top of my head. "Corbin," I plead.

He smiles and leans down next to my ear. "You love it." The remnants from the previous blush flame back up. And I hide my face against Corbin's chest. He chuckles and rubs my back. "Come on. Let's get your 'I'm queen' speech over with so I can flirt with you some more." I groan and close my eyes. Corbin wraps his arm around me and guides me down the stairs. Everyone is waiting and I am hoping my face has no signs of blush.

"As most of you know, I am the daughter of Alpha Thomas. This is my soulmate, Corbin. I am the only female werewolf left. My father has hidden me and my secret well, but now is the time that I take my rightful place as queen. I will not be trying to change how packs are run; however, if there is an issue with any leaders in a pack or a war begins, don't be surprised if I show up. My eldest brother is an example. He was supposed to be Alpha, yet made it problematic for the entire pack and scattered our family. I will help any pack in need. I will also be hosting training programs for upcoming leaders of packs. It isn't required. I'm just doing it out of the goodness of my heart. I've covered everything that needed to be said. Does anyone have any questions?"

"Where will you and your mate be staying?" One of the Alphas questions.

I glance at Corbin. "We will be building our own house."

"Who's land will it be on?" Another one asks.

"Either my dad's or Corbin's parents'."

"What are we supposed to call you two?" A different Alpha asks.

"Queen Oakley and Alpha Corbin."
