Stormee Adalwulf
My heart was broken. He made promises and vows to me. We were going to communicate, consider each other, and put each other first... and he broke them within 24 hours of being back in his realm.
Somehow, I feel cheated and betrayed, not because of the woman who now lives under my roof, a woman I have no idea who she is or what she is doing here in my home, but because he broke me and didn't even flinch. He ordered Cassian to arrange a guest room on the fourth floor to accommodate the woman who claimed to be the Queen, and then, without looking at me, he left. No, I am not upset about the woman. What hurts are his actions, his silence, and his disregard. I trusted him with my heart, and at the first turn, he broke it.
I ran into our room and decided I needed somewhere else to stay. I have been living in this room for one
AelfredAs soon as I said the words, her shoulders slumped, and her body slumped back on the edge of the bed. Her gaze was down, and I could see her shoulders trembling with her silent sobs."Little Flower, please... it hurts me to see you like this," I knelt in front of her. She is my queen; she owns me, and seeing her like that devastates me to the core."Seeing me like what? Aelfred?" she lifted her eyebrows defiantly. She was upset, and I could see the thunder outside her window."Storm, please control your anger..." I sighed, and she looked at me with fire in her eyes and a hurricane of rage coursing through her entire being."What? Too afraid of the consequences? Of the devastation that I could bestow upon your precious castle? Maybe afraid that my storm could harm your new queen?" She stood up, and for the first time, I was a firsthand witness of her true elemental powers."No, I am afraid we can't talk when you are this
Stormee AdalwulfI didn't want to sleep with him. I couldn't share a bed with a man who would undermine me the way he did. I needed time, and my wolf was restless because Aelfred´s actions completely offended her.My heart was in pain. I was now breaking one of our promises; he sealed them with elven magic, and it was painful to break them. I cuddled in bed and wrapped my legs close to my chest.The following day, Yavanna woke me up with a broad smile. "My queen," She greeted me, and I sighed."I thought we were going to talk to each other on a first-name basis," I said, and she nodded."Alright, Stormee..." she sighed,"The castle has been upside down. Cassian kicked the woman out, and she was furious." Yavanna quickly informed me. "King Aelfred ordered the guards to stop her from approaching this place. She is being tagged as a non-welcome here." She sighed,"I heard the council will summon him; they are livid,"
AelfredVamir walked into my office. "Hey, how is everything going?" he slumped in a chair across from mine."Like shit..." I sighed."Care to explain. Things going like shit is a general statement." He joked, and I grunted. I was not in the mood for his jokes. I was about to lose my mate, and he was laughing about the situation."Storm didn't want to share a room with me tonight," I revealed, and he nodded,"But she didn't choose to go back home, right?" he lifted his eyebrows, and I nodded."She will get over it. She needs a bit of time for you to make some gesture," he pointed out, and I sighed."I kicked Kasula out," I said, and he lifted his eyebrows."Fucking Audon is going to blow a gasket. How come you are here and not dealing with his nonsense?" Vamir asked."Maybe because I am the fucking king, and I must start acting like that?" I lifted my eyebrows, and he nodded."About high time..." Vamir exclaimed,
Stormee AdalwulfYavanna swamped me with books on Elven law. She explained most of their traditions, and to be accurate, they were misogynist. I was appalled when I learned she was a certified lawyer working as a maid because the elven world didn't offer her the chance.I had so many things to discuss with Alefred, and I was ready to return to my room and into his arms. Deep down in my heart, I knew he didn't mean to offend me the way he did. He is used to different things, and I am sure he will never make such mistakes. We are learning to be together in a world that wants us apart, and communication and forgiveness are crucial to making it."Yavanna, I think I am done for today," I sighed, stretching my arms and neck. We had been studying for over six hours, and I thought it was time for her to take a break."Would you want me to prepare a bath for you?" she asked, and I shook my head."No, you are above those duties. As my assistant, you should k
AelfredI entered the room; her fragrance was there, and she was around. I couldn't hold my breath anymore. I called out to her, but she didn't answer. Suddenly, the door of her wardrobe room opened, and outside the confines of the dark room, my mate stepped out wearing a fucking traditional mating ritual robe.The glistening fabric cascaded over her soft curves, revealing everything to my eyes, but without being completely naked. The intricate embroidery around her neck and the robe's hem were perfect. It even contained love symbols, and I couldn't contain the feelings that crashed around my heart.This young woman, barely 21-year-old, was willing to learn, to forgive, to spare me the pain of losing her, to allow me to worship her... and that is what I am going to do, thoroughly, during the entire night and come in the morning, I will do it all over again."Storm," I softly said, and she stood under my gaze."Now, I feel utterly underdressed," she
Stormee AdalwulfDamn! Last night was intense, and I would not have it any other way. Despite our age difference, my mate had the stamina of a teenager, which benefited me.He woke up a bit earlier than me and surprised me with breakfast in bed. After kissing my lips to wake me, the smell of food did the trick. I was starving. I am sure now that sex counts as cardio.We had breakfast together. "Little Flower, I need to go to the office." he sighed and I nodded,"Do you need to leave now? Or can you wait for me?" I bit my lower lip, and his eyes shone with excitement."I can wait for you," he smirked while I suspiciously squinted my eyes. I am sure his mind went in a completely different direction from tending to kingdom matters.I stood up and walked confidently towards the bathroom. I showered fast and got ready in record time. I noticed Al wore regular clothing, so I matched him with jeans and an off-the-shoulder top. I walked out and saw
AelfredWhen I walked back into my office, I found it empty. I thought Stormee would stick around here. Where is she? I took a deep breath and noticed the door linking our offices ajar. I chuckled; my queen needed her space, and I loved it.I walked towards the door and heard her voice. "There must be some mistake here, Sarula. I need the detailed report of expenses for those months," she said, and I squinted my eyebrows."Should I call the accountant?" Sarula asked,"Call him, and let's allow him to explain this discrepancy..." My Little Flower said with determination.I softly knocked on the ajar door, and she lifted her gaze. What once was an orderly place is now a war zone. Paper was scattered around, reports upon reports, her laptop was on the floor, and spreadsheets were open. "What is going on?" I asked, and Sarula, her newly appointed assistant, quickly jumped on her feet and bowed."Your Majesty," She greeted me, and I gave her a court nod."Storm?" I looked at her while movin
Stormee AdalwulfWe worked for several hours, four minds trying to get everything together. Sales were not dropping, as Al suspected. The purchases and inventory indicated a healthy product rotation. That only meant someone was draining the company, making sales, not reporting them, stealing money, and covering their tracks.We needed to conduct a swift but complete audit. Vamir suddenly stretched. "I am starving. Should I get something to eat? Or are we resuming tomorrow?" He asked, and I looked at the time—it was close to eleven at night."I think we should resume tomorrow..." I sighed, rubbing my neck while Al began tenderly massaging it."Sarula, can you be ready tomorrow to leave as soon as we figure out a plan to audit the company? I need to see the installations, and we need a couple of extra hands to help us take account and secure a proper inventory." I sighed, and she nodded."Would we be leaving in the morning or the afternoon? I h
Stormee AdalwulfI was elated to find out that everyone would be here for dinner. When Al entered our room, I jumped in his arms, and he squinted his eyebrows. "Why are you so happy?""Everyone will be here for dinner..." I said, and then, between his arms, I made a victory dance while he chuckled."Who is everyone?" He lifted his eyebrows, and I laughed"Oh, My Sneaky King... you will be in for a ride!" I said, and Al chuckled."Then, I can hardly wait." He smiled,"Let's get ready!" I said, and he nodded.I prepared a bath, and we jumped into it. It was comforting to have him in the place where I grew up. It was fucking hot to make love in the bathroom I used alone for so long. A place where my imagination ran wild more times than I would like to acknowledge.As usual, intimacy bet
AelfredI returned with Romeo to his office. We sat in a small reading corner he had close t the fireplace. He looked at me, went to the small bar on the side, and poured two lakes of scotch. He handed me one.I nodded in appreciation, and he sat across from me. He stared at his glass and sighed when he lifted his eyes. "I have never seen her this happy..." He said, and I nodded.Overall, it was a subtle acknowledgment that he was wrong about keeping us apart for three years."We were meant to be together, made for each other. Of course, she will be the happiest beside me..." I paused and sighed, "I was glad you asked to talk to me privately because I need your help..." I said,Romeo's eyes flashed with his wolf on the surface. He was a king who ruled over all, so his best must be powerful.
Stormee AdalwulfThe day has come when Al and I will be visiting my parents. It was a triple visit. Al had to attend a small realm council, then there were the trading deals we wanted to have with other realms, and last but not least, it was a personal vitis. I was dying to see my family.I have been a lousy daughter with everything happening here. I barely call them, and when I do, we spend our time trying to catch up on so much that it is physically impossible. I am sure both sides, my parents and I, will do great to hold each other and talk face-to-face instead of through a screen."Are you ready, Little Flower?" Al cooed, and I nodded."Yes, I am more than ready. We have all we need to present our business to others. You will meet with the other rulers and stretch alliances, and then we will have a couple of family days. Hopefully, I will get to see everyone. If not, I am happy about seeing Mom, Dad, and Ralphie..." I beamed, I was overexcited, but th
VamirThe following day, Myriad sent law enforcement to apprehend Anders. He thrashed and claimed that he was innocent. He also said that he would cooperate and that behind everything happening was a bigger fish. He was desperate, and he was spewing every type of excuse.I went to the interrogation room, and he asked for a lawyer. We agreed to make things as believable as possible, so I called a lawyer for him. He was on the verge of tears; probably, if our guys were rougher, he would have soiled his trousers in fear. This charade must come across as genuine work. We only went after Anders so that I could get into Audon's good graces.As soon as I got out of the interrogation room, I heard... "I demand to see him. He is my nephew, and you are making a grave mistake." Elder Audon was threatening a law enforcer."Sir, I understa
VamirI knew how distressed Sary was about the entire thing. The only way to watch her closely and be in the game is to get undercover. This means I will have to speak ill of Al for this mission's purposes.Al approved, so I won't feel as bad as I would have if he had thought the idea risky and stupid."We are going to be alright..." I wrapped my arm around Sar, and she nodded."I am sure I will get the short end of this..." She sighed, and I nodded."Yeah, but it was what we signed for..." I sighed, and she nodded."You are right. We're doing this and will be smart enough to pull this through..." She composed herself, and I kissed her temple. She was such a sweet being that every cell in my body screamed at me to protect her and make love to her, but we were in the middle of a meeting, so the protection would be the one I should follow."Alright, keep us posted on how you scurry in there..." Al said, and I nodded. "Now, next topic. S
Stormee AdalwulfWhen I finally arrived home, Al greeted me with a tender kiss. "Hey... How are things at the pharmaceutical company?" he asked, and I sighed."Complicated, there are too many things to fix, and I need the information to start making decisions as soon as possible... but I am certain about Anders and Daylor, and in cahoots with Audon..." I said, and he nodded.How certain?? He asked."As certain as Anders dared warn me..." I shrugged my shoulders and saw a deep, guttural fury cross Al's eyes."No one fucking threatens you and gets away with it..." He grunted, staring into my eyes, and I cupped his cheek."I am sure we will see to it..." I said, hoping that my touch would relax him.He took a deep breath, "Alright, what else?" he asked,"Yeah, there is another issue... Flavian was brought to my attention..." I sighed, and he squinted his eyebrows."What problem?" He crossed his arms in front of his chest, w
Stormee AdalwulfThe meetings were endless, enlightening, but tiring. The first meeting was with Flavian from Supply Chain."So, Flavian... I need an overall run of how you commit to your purchases. I want to see if raw materials have been going to waste and if we are getting the best prices and deals for our supplies. I also need an overall run of how the equipment is handled from start to end," I said, and he nodded."For starters, Your Highness..." he paused and deeply breathed."Everything said here will be kept confidential..." I said, and he nodded."I was instructed to lower the quality of raw materials... So I have been on a goose chase trying to find the best quality at the best price. We haven't committed big purchases from our regular suppliers because we won't pay the cost asked of us." Flavian sighed, clearly under stress. I didn't want to be in his shoes."Who ordered the cost cut? And who authorized lowering the quality of mat
Stormee AdalwulfAfter carefully planning our trip to the pharmaceutical company for a week, Petra, Eiry, and I are heading towards our destination in a car.When our vehicle with the royal was spotted closing at the gate, I saw people panicking. I am done playing cat and mouse games. I am here, I am their queen, and I demand answers. This situation is as simple as adding two plus two."Aren't they terrified?" Eiry mumbled, and I nodded."How many do you think soiled their undies?" Petra said, and I scrunched my face in disgust. Please give it to her to make comments that are so disgusting and get away with them."I don't know. Should we check how many rears look tarnished or brown?" Eiry said casually while I laughed."Why are you enabling her?" I asked Eirula between laughter."I am not enabling anything; as a mother, I am always looking for soiled things..." She shrugged her shoulders, and I rolled my eyes."Really, how does
BREAKING STORM / BOOK 2 Chapter65 - TryingStormee AdalwulfI rested my head on Al's shoulder and sighed. "What's on your mind?" he asked, and I looked up at him."That Sary is smart enough to tell Vamir something..." I sighed, and he chuckled."What?" I lifted myself from his chest, and he laughed,"Do you think we didn't figure that out?" He said, and I blushed,"So you know about our little deception?" I lowered my gaze. I hated to conceal things from him...He slowly nodded, "Are you mad?" I asked,"At first, I was more than mad... I was concerned... but then I realized that I have a very capable mate... and that whatever risk you were undertaking, it was thought risk..." He paused. "Also, I understand that Vamir would have gone all caveman around this situation, and what you did was for
