~Y/N POV~

Today was the crowing ceremony of my soulmates.

Since I'm not announced as their soulmate officially I get to sit off to the side instead of with them. Traditionally I would be standing with their parents but unfortunately they aren't here. So I sit in a chair which would so happen to have been in the chair beside where the queen would sit. It kind of makes me sad to sit here just to see two empty seats that should be occupied. I may not have met them officially but I heard many stories of their childhood last night.

The eight of us last night spent the whole night alone and I just listened to their many stories of their childhood while they also listened to mine. I don't know why we didn't do this before but it was just talking, nothing else apart from maybe a few kisses here and there but that's about it. Maybe it's because we didn't have to worry about anything anymore?

I mean I know Jackson is still alive by what Ren has mentioned but he's still stuck in the dungeon with the dark knights that are taking their sweet ass time with him. I guess it serves him right for his doings.

The throne room is massive and yet I sit here and wait for people to fill in the room. Mostly vampires of higher ranks and maybe a few humans here and there. My soulmates family, their uncles and aunts came in. Meaning I saw Hanuel come in with his wife Val, who I found to have some sort of smug look on her face. I had this funny feeling she was up to something. Then Yeona came along with her soulmate, he was not that tall honestly, maybe a few inches taller than her but not by a lot. I haven't been able to speak to him yet but when Yeona seen me she waved excitedly in the front row where all family relatives sit. Then I seen Jeong with his wife, it's the first time I met her but she did come over to me and say hello. Very quiet if you ask me but seems like a fitting match for Jeong. He couldn't stay as he needed to be with Ren at the moment.

I came to find out only just last night when my dad spoke to me about it that Ren and Jeong being the oldest they are responsible for crowing the boys, especially Ren since their dad is no longer with us, but I'm sure he's watching.

Then lastly of the relatives was of course Jewel who took up a seat next to Jeongs wife and then Eun. I was surprised that he came since he was busy but I don't think he would of wanted to miss this and I'm sure the other three have it all under control. Maybe.

Everyone was taking their seats while I just sat there quietly watching. I saw my friends, Joshua, Baekhyun and Daehyun come and sit just in the second row behind Jewel which raised a few brows from other vampires but no one said anything even when you can tell they wanted to. My dad also sat with them but made sure to stay close to the little closed off second I was sitting in to the side of the room.

Hold on. Where's Bong?

At first it was easy to ignore some of the stares from the vampires in the room but the longer they stared the more uncomfortable I became.

Thankfully music started to play and then within seconds Ren and Jeong suddenly appeared from a door that was next to me. I didn't even realise that there was a door there. However I just watched them walk to the front of the room, all eyes were now on them instead of me thankfully and I felt like I could finally breathe.

No one said anything and yet both Ren and Jeong bot stood to the side of the seven red velvet chairs in the middle of the stage in front. The music then started to change then the back doors to the huge hall opened and all eyes turned quietly to see all seven princes and my soulmates walk into the room. I sucked in a breath to see them all smartly dressed, royal robes hanging off their shoulders and down their backs. Lined up in single file from oldest to youngest. All baring small silver crowns on their heads but chins up as they look ahead of them to Ren and Jeong but I didn't miss the way that each one of them would sense my gaze on them as I took a moment to stare at each of them individually in awe. I mean talking about taking your breath away and the authority and power radiating from them already.

Each one of them stepping up on the stage and bowing to Ren and Jeong as they returned the bow back but instead of bowing seven separate times they just stayed in the bowing position until all seven of them were standing in front of their individual chairs. When both Ren and Jeong stood back up straight, Ren gestured for the pianist to stop with a wave of a hand and then the boys took their seats on their thrones.

Ren began to speak loudly in the room welcoming everyone to the ceremony and I couldn't help but smile, especially when Hoseok looked at me and tried to not smile back and didn't want to break that serious expression he's been holding since walking into the room.

It seems as though Ren had this huge speech but I wasn't paying attention. I was too busy in admiring my soulmates. I just couldn't help it, I may have rejected them but my heart wasn't in it, I didn't want to. I only did that to hurt them but I no longer regretted it as I now believe it was what they needed to help with that spell that Jackson put on the boys with a potion he got from a witch. I was very surprised when Namjoon mentioned that last night but it made sense. They told me everything of what Jackson told them and yet they didn't believe in anything in what Jackson said about how I would make them weak. Only could I make them weak if I were to reject them again and mean it this time but I don't have any plans on doing that ever in my life.

Of in my own world of thinking, a further seven individual vampires walked into the room from the door that Ren and Jeong came from just beside me. In their hands was a red velvet pillow each holding their own gold crown. To be honest they looked big compared to the ones they were wearing but what do you expected when getting promoted from prince to king?

A huge bright light, shone through the window behind me. It was so tall in size on the wall that it shone onto my soulmates as Jin was the first to receive his crown on his head but I could see how he was trying to not smile but stared a head of him. I felt pride just watching him, then next moving onto Yoongi who received his crown from Jeong after Ren took his turn to say vows for Jin to repeat in making an oath in becoming King along side his brothers.

The light only shone brighter and a gust of wind, swept passed me, sending shivers down my spine and I wrapped my arms around my upper body. No one reacted to it but when I looked a little to my left side I noticed a figure sitting right next to me in the queens chair. At first it just seemed like a shadow but then it only grew more bolder by the second into the form of a woman wearing a white dress with gold flowered patterns, long black hair down her back and smiling widely as she faces my soulmates receiving their crowns. She was very beautiful but yet it only took seconds to realise who she was, I had only ever seen her in person.

The queen herself had arrived in spirit to see her sons in their special moment.

I couldn't help but stare at her in confusion yet shock. How could she be here when she's dead?

The woman turned to me but her smile didn't falter. In fact she let out a quiet yet cute giggle and gently patted my hand that I had no rested on the arm of my chair. How can she feel so real?

"Your majesty."

I whispered to her but she shook her head just to lean closer to me.

"You don't need to be so formal with me dear. We're family now but we'll talk later." Queen

I nodded quietly but another gush of wind came, and I stared down at my hand that held hers on top of mine.

"Have I missed anything Honey?"

WHAT??

I looked to the man, sitting on the other side of the queen, taking her other hand in his, kissing the back of her hand. I didn't know what to say but stare. However he looked at me with his red eyes as his figure became more solid rather than just a shadow.

I bowed my head to him but he only hummed but surprised me even more when he bowed his head back with a little smile on his face. From what I heard from Jin, their dad wasn't keen or liked half bloods but knew I was one and didn't approve but now that very man in sitting just one person away from me and he even smiled at me and bowed in respect.

I couldn't stop staring at him but he pointed to the boys back on the stage and I nodded and turned back around just to see Namjoon now getting his crown. Namjoon was staring right back at us, tears in his eyes as he sees his parents here some how. I looked at each one of them and they had the same sad expressions, happy, confused. I could feel it all from them and I don't blame them. It's just with Taehyung crying but biting his lip trying not to I just wanted to run over there and hug him tight but I couldn't. The queen must of sensed this and she patted my hand just to link our hands together by entwining our fingers together.

I could hear the little whispers in shock but when I looked at Val, she was smiling widely while whispering something under her breath. I couldn't hear her but her lips constantly moving and when she looks at me, the colour of her eyes were this bright glowing green mixed with yellow. I never seen her with eyes like that before, no one actually. But that's when I remembered she was witch, she did this didn't she?

I sent her questioning eyes but she just shrugged and laughed a little but quietly not to interrupt Ren while he speaks.

Another gush of wind happened for another third time which made frown in confusion. I stared at Val in confusion to what else she could of done but she gestured to something beside me. I only grew more confused and yet at that very second I felt something touch my shoulder on my right side.

I flinched with a gasp in surprise but nothing could prepare me for what I was about to see for the first time in my life, in person anyway. Tears already came to my eyes as I seen the person standing close beside me, her hand gently on my shoulder smiling down at me with her own tears. I only ever seen her in pictures and yet here she is.

"Mom."
