My Boyfriend Stole My Crown for his Fake Princess Chapter 06
Charlotte’s POV
Three days later, just as dusk settles in.
The parking lot outside the school’s central auditorium is packed. Different pack emblems mark each car.
The Moon Ceremony only happens once a year, and Alphas and Lunas from major packs across the region attend. This year, our school hosts it.
A few ordinary sedans pull up to the entrance. Savannah gets out of the passenger seat. Carter and
several classmates follow behind her.
I stand by the second–floor window of the auditorium, watching them approach the entrance.
Four Royal Guards stand at the door in black uniforms, silver weapons at their waists.
The guards stop them.
“Invitations, please.”
Carter hands over a stack of invitations. The guard takes them, checking each one. His gaze stops on
Savannah’s, brow furrowing.
“Savannah Wayland? Who gave you these?”
A classmate in the back immediately jumps in:
“Savannah did, obviously! She’s the Alpha King’s daughter!”
“Yeah, she said she’s going public with who she is tonight. She wanted us here to see it happen.”
The guard looks at the Royal seal on the invitation, then at Savannah.
Savannah lifts her chin. “Is there a problem? You questioning me?”
The guard opens his mouth to respond when the radio at his waist crackles to life.
A low voice comes through: “Let them in.”
The guard freezes for a moment, then steps back. “Please, go ahead.”
The classmates whisper excitedly among themselves:
“See? I told you Savannah was the real deal!”
“Even the guards are treating her with respect!”
“We’re actually at the Moon Ceremony… this is once in a lifetime!”
Inside, the auditorium is already full.
When Savannah walks in with the classmates, a few nobles turn to look.
An older Luna approaches, raising her glass.
“Savannah, welcome. I hear you have an important announcement tonight?”
“Absolutely,” another Beta says with a smile. “We can’t wait.”
The classmates hang back, too intimidated to say anything.
Carter moves through the crowd of nobles, but most only offer polite nods. No one actually engages him in conversation.
A long table sits along one side of the auditorium, loaded with elaborate food.
The classmates drift over, curious.
“What is this?”
A server explains: “These are wild black truffle appetizers. Each one runs about five hundred dollars in ingredients alone.”
“Holy shit! Five hundred bucks for one of these?”
Several classmates immediately rush forward, grabbing multiple portions at once. Some even start stuffing them in their pockets.
“What’s this silver stuff?”
“It’s moonlight wine. Infused with moonstone. You can only get it at the Moon Ceremony.”
The nobles around them shoot contemptuous looks their way.
Savannah watches the classmates‘ behavior, her expression growing darker. She moves to the other
side of the auditorium, putting as much distance between them as possible.
An older Luna approaches, glancing at the classmates gorging themselves. “These young people are friends of yours?”
Savannah forces a smile. “Just regular students from
school. They’ve never been to anything like this. A little… rough around the edges. Sorry about that.”
The Luna smiles knowingly. “I see. How… interesting.”
Just then, a female classmate walks over with a drink.
“Savannah, can we get a picture together? When I post this on the forum, it’s gonna blow up!”
Savannah’s smile freezes. “Now’s not really a good time.”
“Just one! Please! We might never get a chance like this again!” The girl grabs Savannah’s arm.
Savannah tries to pull away, but she’s afraid of drawing attention. She stands there stiffly.
Several classmates crowd around, pressing in close for a selfie. One of them is still holding a truffle covered in sauce, and it accidentally smears across the hem of Savannah’s white dress.
Savannah looks down. A distinct brown stain spreads across the fabric.
Her expression turns completely dark.
Carter moves through the crowd with a glass in hand, approaching an Alpha. “Great to be here tonight. I’m
Carter, friend of Savannah’s.”
The Alpha nods politely, then turns to talk to someone else.
Carter tries again with another Beta. “If you need anything, I’m your guy. Got some connections at the school.”
The Beta glances at him. “Oh.” Then walks away.
Carter stands there awkwardly, his face flushing red.
The bell chimes.
Everyone moves to take their seats.
The auditorium is decorated with moonstone, glowing silver under the lights. Crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, each crystal carved with runes. In the center of the floor, a massive crescent moon emblem is, set into the ground.
The classmates gasp again. “This is beautiful!”
“I need to get a picture!” Someone raises their phone.
A server immediately approaches. “Sorry, no photos during the ceremony.”
Savannah makes her way to the seating area in the center of the hall, trying to project confidence.
The nobles around her watch, their expressions unreadable. Some whisper to each other. Some smile, but the smiles don’t quite reach their eyes.
Suddenly, the lights go out.
Everyone falls silent.
A beam of silver–white light shines down from the ceiling, landing directly on the crescent moon emblem in the center of the hall. The emblem begins to glow.
The crowd parts automatically, creating a clear path.
The door at the end of the corridor slowly opens.
A tall figure appears in the doorway. The figure is backlit, face obscured, but the presence is powerful enough to make everyone hold their breath.
