Stormee Adalwulf
Damn! 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
AelfredAfter a splendid night with my mate, I felt better about the situation. I was not pleased about being at fault for not seeing things as she did. She was determined to find out what was happening and who was the perpetrator. Our realm depends on it; it is a large part of the income the royal family provides to improve everyone's lives.She gave me some food for thought. We elves are proud creatures; somehow, my father's lack of teaching and the way I was taught to rule made me feel I didn't need anyone else to help me. I believed myself to be infallible and that only Vamir's help was needed, but in reality, she suggests that we even have what they call a Gamma, a Delta, or an extra Beta. She believes that we need so much more.Now that I see the bigger picture, she is right: I need help. I can't be everywhere, training our militia
Stormee AdalwulfI had Sary help me review every candidate, and we made a pile of files, each position with the nays, maybes, and a yes. I knocked on Al's door and walked in. He and Vamir discussed each leading position's task and the possible profile we must search for."Al, I wanted to hand you the screened candidates for the two positions we must fill. They are separated by gender because I need my Female Delta and Gamma." I informed him."Do you need my input for the female positions?" he asked, and I nodded. We were working together, and it was so rewarding knowing that my mate trusted me with serious matters of the kingdom."Yeah, but after the first interview. We must see them personally and see if we are a match. These positions require a lot of trust, and we need to find someone with whom we could quickly build a bond
Stormee AdalwulfThe following day, I welcomed Petra and Eirula into my office. My main objective of this meeting is to get to know them better and become friends, and from there, we can start addressing the pressing matters of the realm.It will take time to become best friends, but we need to build trust for this to work. Al had the advantage that Myriad and Blass were old acquaintances, and he knew them before their appointments.Sary walked into my office, followed by two stunning women dressed in traditional attire. The first one had white hair and silver eyes. She had fair skin and a bright smile. Her features were characteristic of elves: a delicate nose, big eyes, and pointy ears. She was a beauty, and you could see enormous kindness when you looked into her eyes.I smiled at her, and she softly bowed. "My queen," she said,"This is Eirula, Blass's mate and the Social Affairs Leader," Sary explained, and I nodded."Welcome aboard. Ju
AelfredMy team was far more robust than Stormee's. She was sure that the help my leaders would need was far more than what the female team would need. The male team was responsible for heavy lifting, and hands were often required. She was right.I held a meeting with Vamir, Myriad, and Blass. We agreed on how we would handle everything from now on. We discussed each area's responsibilities, how we would respond to crises, and the communication channels that would work smoothly. Then, we brought in Kel, Waston, Lorn, and Ellios.We agreed to report back in a week once a thorough assessment of the realm was done, and once we saw the details, we could form a plan of action. When they left, I felt a sense of easiness, one I haven't had ever since I took the crown and leadership of the realm. I must confess that being overwhelmed was a regular thing for me. I tried to cope and do everything in my power to fix things around me, but being unable to do so simultaneousl
Stormee AdalwulfSary and I walked out of the office the following day. We were two women on a mission: to straighten up the pharmaceutical company and restore it to its former glory. It was a good business, but the numbers didn't match.Petra's suggestion was a good idea, showing they were surprised red-handed. Petra and Eiry were doing what I asked of them. They reported early in the morning and went out to do field research on everything I asked them to.Before leaving, I told Vamir about our leave. Aelfred was busy dealing with something urgent, and I didn't want to bother him. When a chauffeur opened the door for us, I knew Sary or Vamir had arranged everything I might need to do the diligence."Sary, do we have the financial reports with the discrepancies?" I asked her, and she nodded. She patted her large briefcase as i
AelfredStorm and Sary went to visit the pharmaceutical company. Something deep within me told me that trouble was on the horizon, perhaps because yesterday, Elder Audon visited us on a furtive visit that only left me weary of what was to come.I have learned that this particular being has a nasty nature. The more I dig into my memories from when I was a child and forced to rule, the more I realize that he instructed me in specific ways of doing things, only to take advantage of the circumstances. Stormee has come and opened my eyes and has broadened the way I must rule, and with that, by reclaiming the power I never thought I had, she is stepping on the elder's toes, making him dangerous."You are quiet." Vamir pointed out, and I nodded,"I don't know... I have a feeling," I sighed, and he squinted his eyebrows."Do you think they are in danger?" he asked hesitantly. "As in someone trying to harm them?" his voice alarmed,"No, I don't think
Elder AudonThere was not a strong word to describe how I felt right now. Everyone in the council, except my loyal Aegnor, greeted the intruder queen with warmth and joy.I tried to force the king to take Kasula as a breeder, but he openly refused. Even when no law forced the king to take an elven queen, I was trying to appeal to the purity of our blood and magic, so the council would force him to take an elven breeder.Even with the blood argument, the council decided to ignore my concerns and allow the king to do as he pleased. The people loved the foreign queen. I have heard that she has built a new way of doing things, and help, aid, and solace have reached the masses quickly.That woman is dangerous—dangerous to my plans. That young woman and her ideas and ways are starting to change things, and it was imperative to reach the masses in need so I could come and pass as the solution to their problems.Instead, the people have embraced her,
AelfredIt was a new experience to have the Alphas in our offices. We did it discreetly so we wouldn't raise suspicions about our backup plan. They understood the current political situation and agreed to this type of meeting. We showed them the facilities via live video provided by Blass, and they were impressed with the companies.We finished, and Eulisses and Peter wanted to see Storm. So, I created a portal for Thomas and Timothy and led them to their packs. We agreed to come to their packs to check the distribution center within two weeks, and with that, we parted ways.Vamir looked at me. "Sary is taking a toll..." He said, and I nodded."Storm noticed..." I said, and he nodded."Thanks for the vacation..." he chuckled."It's our pleasure, Vamir. You are my right hand and best friend. You are my family, and I have learned from Storm that family comes first. We look after family... always." I said, and he nodded."Thanks... you k
Stormee AdalwulfThe following morning, Al and I headed to the office. We had a lot to do. First, I plan to catch up on all the ongoing audits. Sary has been swamped at work and has made some interesting discoveries.Then, I had a meeting with Galabriel and Aerin. They want to discuss my coronation ceremony. I will also meet with Eiry to see the advances in all the social and community development projects. Later, we will include a meeting with the Education Board to improve the quality of education and round up the program with art and sports. Kids need to be kids, after all.Also, I have several observations regarding the women's archery program. It was well received, but we need Myriad to move faster with women-friendly facilities to implement it. I need to raise that concern with Aelfred. If anyone could make it happen, it would be my mate, the king.Al walked into his office, and I moved to mine. Sary walked in, and her eyes looked tired. "Hey, how i
AelfredStormee´s presentation was a success overall. Once the session ended, Galabriel and Aerin monopolized my mate's attention. I could tell both women were mesmerized by Stormee.Elrond stood beside me, his head held high and his demeanor proud. "Your father would have been proud of you," he said, and I looked at him. He was one of my dad's best friends, and unlike Audon, he mentioned my father quite often. It was as if, by saying this, he strived to keep his memory alive."Do you think so?" I asked, and he nodded."I know so.""Aego was my childhood friend..." Elrond sighed, "He would have wanted you to be happy," he said, and I nodded."I am happy..." I sighed, staring at my mate, unable to form words to convey that happy is a word that falls short where she is concerned."He was, too, with your mother..." Elrond said, and I gave him a court nod."Audon is not happy. Beware of him," he said, and I took a deep breath
Stormee AdalwulfThe impressive double height and double doors before me made my insides churn. I took a deep breath, and Aelfred looked at me. "Are you ready?" I slowly nodded and gulped down the nerves and the feeling of vomiting. I am a freaking princess... now a queen... I can do this!I gave him a small smile, and he chuckled. "Relax. You already know the nastiest of the bunch. " He leaned forward and kissed my temple. I chuckled, and with that, he eased my nerves.He nodded to the guard, knocked on the door, and announced us as if we were entering a medieval court. People stood up to greet us. I wrapped my arm around Al's, and with steady footsteps, keeping my chin up, I descended the broad aisle.I could see people looking at me with curiosity; some scoffed, and others regarded me with respect but not fondness. I wouldn
AelfredAfter talking to Vamir, I knew what had to be done. Stormee is my mate, and nothing stops me from making her my queen. Our traditions and laws are very ambiguous about this particular matter. It is considered a blessing that the king mates with his fated mate; it is regarded as good luck and prosperity to do so.Never in a million years has there been a mating between an elven king and a werewolf princess, and that is where the void in our traditions and laws resides. It is inferred that the queen must be an elven woman, but it is not written. I could see the divided opinions, but I must yield their will to accept Stormee as their ruler for my realm, happiness, and mate.Storm is a bright young woman with modern ideas. As the law states, she is a true blessing in my life and the lives of our people.She has been busy with Eiry, supervising the orphanages, schools, and playgrounds. Sary has been dealing with a pharmaceutical company, and she comes
AudonI can do it again; nothing is stopping me now. My plan worked perfectly, and I have been carefully planning and executing it for a lifetime.It all began with broken dreams and unfulfilled expectations. Aego was my best friend; we were part of a high-ranking elite of students. We were decisive and capable, and when King Faelyn grew old and had no descendants, the council invited all elite students to participate in the trials.The Royal Trials were an ancient tradition that allowed the ruling king to find an heir without a direct descendant. King Faelyn was my uncle; I believed he would first look into his bloodline, but instead, he ordered the council to summon the people to participate in the Trials.It was the first time I felt the pain of betrayal deep within my soul. My own family, my uncle, would rather have a stranger ruling the realm instead of his blood. But I knew I was capable, and I was among the summoned elites who had the opportunity t
AelfredVamir asked me for a day off, which was an oddity. I wanted to know precisely what was happening but wouldn't dare intrude into his business. It sounded like a personal motive. Thus, I refrained from bothering him with my curiosity or questions during the entire day. But today was a different story; he was back, and I was ready to dig up what had happened. As his king, I worry about all my subjects, but as his friend, I am particularly worried about him. He and Sary are mates doing an undercover job that might take a toll on their personal lives... I need to ensure that this mission does not take away from them what they have built for their future."You are very pensive," My mate wrapped her arms around my waist."Just thinking about Vamir..." I blurted, and she pouted,"And I thought I occupied all your thoughts," She said, and I chuckled."Of course, you are my first and last thought of my day... you have been for an eternity..." I pecke
SarulaVamir is a fantastic man by the gods—one I don't deserve, but he makes me worthy of him. His sole presence, love, and the tenderness with which he treats me—all of him—makes me want to improve. His words and attitude made me feel he thinks highly of me and believes in me.I can't, and I won't let him down. Not now, not ever. The way he explained the damage Audon had caused, the way he tenderly explained how Audon had used forbidden magic on me. A magic that is not permitted to practice because it causes irreparable damage, a magic that always asks for a price... He used my mother's blood as a price... he used my mate's blood to break the bond and to destroy me."I won't force you to stay," he said, interrupting my thoughts and returning me to the present.My body trembled. The idea of losing him, of leaving him, terrified me. It was a paralyzing feeling that made it hard to breathe."Vamir..." I said, tears running down my
