Stormee Adalwulf
I 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 POV“Sweetheart! Breakfast is ready…” My mom called me to go down and eat breakfast before leaving for school. Today is our last day at The Royal Pack Academy. Finally, we are graduating and will start training as soon as we shift into our wolves. Tomorrow, I will turn 18 years old, and I am excited about what will come.Growing up as the daughter of the King and Queen of all realms sounds amazing to most, but to me, it has been a burden I don't want to carry until my last breath. Stormee, you have to be perfect. Stormee, you need to have the best grades, set an example for others, be the best, be better, and be everything everyone expects a royal should be! It is taxing and quite demanding if you ask me.I glance at my prim, proper and pristine academic reflection. Yes, my twin brother, Ralph, and I were enrolled in the most preppy place of all, The Royal Pack Academy, a place where anyone who is anybody in our society attends, a place that makes me wear this pleated skirt, w
Stromee POVThe school was the same. People were laughing and jumping up and down, and many were excited about tonight's party. Gabby was the popular cheerleader, and everyone was excited about attending the ´it´ Grad party of the season.Our parties were also something everyone looked forward to, but we were the Royal kids, so it was expected of us to throw massive parties with all the frills and luxury things one could imagine. Mom always delivered, just like Aunt Paige did for her Alpha son, Enzo.I moved from one classroom to another, trying to do what I do best, being invisible. When lunch came, I sighed and started going to my sanctuary when Enzo stepped into the middle of the hallway. “I guess we are too late for this, cuz… But no more fucking hiding…” He said, and I lifted my eyebrows. What the fuck is wrong with him?“Enzo, move the fuck away…” I almost yelled at him, and he shook his head.“No, can't do…” He stood his ground, and I bit my lower lip.“You have to be joking wi
Stormee POVRalph finished his training, and I picked him up. The other guys were around, and they insisted I must join them to go to a club. It was definitely not my social setting, but neither the cafeteria, and I passed by like a hurricane. What can go wrong in a crowded place full of horny youngsters inebriated?“Aren't you going to Gabby's party?” I lifted my eyebrows at Ralph,“No, after the way she treated you…” He sighed, “Gabby and I are over and done,” he sighed, “She was a good fuck, but that was about it…”“Geesh, thanks for sacrificing your sexual life for your sister…” I mocked him and he laughed,“Family comes first, doesn't it?” He said back, warming my heart.“Mom and Dad would have been proud of you," I joked and he rolled his eyes."So, about the club… Should I tell them you are in?” He wiggled his eyebrows, “Live a little!” He pressed,I took a deep breath and slowly nodded. “Only if I am not going to be the only girl around you guys…” I sighed and he nodded.“Perr
Stormee POVI woke up with a hammering headache and a giddy stomach. I rose from the bed and quickly ran towards my bathroom to puke. Whatever they gave me to drink messed up my stomach, my head, and all my senses.I have brief memories of last night. At exactly midnight, Enzo made sure Ralph and I had a massive toast in honor of our birthday. The blasting music got us all in the mood for some mischief.I danced, I think… I have a brief recollection of dancing with Trevor. His hands were on my waist while I swayed away in my drunk haze. He is my brother's friend, so he didn't dare make a move… No, a stranger… a captivating stranger was the one who stole my first kiss… AelfredA soft knock on my bedroom door got me back to my senses, “Come in…” I said softly, trying not to disturb the frail balance between my unbalanced body and my hammering head.“Happy Birthday!” my mom yelled a
Stormee POVBy breakfast, I was as good as new. It was a family affair, only us. Dad kept going about our party and how amazing it would be tonight when we got our wolves. He also said that soon we would find our mates and that we should make the best out of this time in our pack because he was sure we would be separating to continue our journeys somewhere else. That conversation was something that left a bittersweet taste in my mouth. I didn't want to leave this place, my family, or my brother.My mother chose my dress, and I have to say, she outdid herself this year. It was romantic yet stylish. It was a short, soft pink dress, strapless, with a layered skirt just a hand or so above my knee.In the afternoon, my mom brought a full team to do my hair and makeup. I know I am a hopeless case, and my sweet mother knows it. By the time they were done, the party was about to start. I stood in front of a mirror, staring at my
Stormee POV***Almost three years later***After I graduated from high school, I went to law school. I loved every aspect of lawmaking. I excelled in my classes, took extra credits, and was lined up to be the fastest-graduating student in the campus's history.Every year, the day before my birthday, I receive a single MoonPetal Orchid. I still had no idea who my secret admirer was, but the fact that he kept sending me those flowers meant he was deeply committed to me. Why hasn't he revealed himself? Why am I waiting for him?Yes, I have been waiting for him. A year ago, Trevor asked me out, and after several dates, he asked me to be his girlfriend and future chosen mate. That was when things took a turn, and I got cold feet. Despite liking him, enjoying his company, and even kissing him a couple of times… being with him or committing to him felt wrong. Every time we kissed, the image of the handsome,
Stormee POVI can't believe it. My father is okay with a stranger taking me away. I stood up and turned around on my heel, and left his fucking office. Why do they always think I will be this compliant, sweet being who will do as those macho say? I am fucking fed up!I heard Ralph yell after me, but I couldn't care less. Behind Ralph, at a stumbling distance, Enzo also called out to me. I ran towards the treeline, tears brimming my eyes. I didn't want to hear any reason or explanation disguised as an excuse.Who would that man be? What about what I want? What about what my dreams are? What about courting me, making me fall in love with him? Being nice? Doing nice things for me? Earning my heart and respect? Being my knight in shining armor? What about romance, passion, love, sex? Oh! Goddess! Will I have to be intimate with a stranger for the first time in my life?Now I regret waiting. Now I see why Ralph and Enzo went ahead and explored… Maybe they knew something I didn't… and that m
Stromee POVThe weekend flowed as usual. Our 21st birthday was coming, and I feared my life would change forever. I kept my studies going, but the nagging feeling that my dreams would be shattered once I turned 21 kept distracting me from my endeavors.I was at the top of my class, and soon, I was distracted and wondering what would happen. I have talked to Enzo. After that conversation, we had a clearing near the river. He chose to go to a rehab center, and I got a call from Aunt Page thanking me for setting him right.Aunt Paige and Uncle Eulisses had tried everything, but Enzo was not listening to them… It was not until we got the news that we all had mates, and our parents knew even before we were born about them, that he was willing to listen and see reason.I thank the Goddess for that because Enzo and Ralph are my rocks. I have always felt protected around them. Even when I went through my lonely, weird stage in high school, they were there, accepting me as I was, respecting my

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 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
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 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
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 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
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 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,"
