I have never felt more exposed. Seeing Tony attack Stormee triggered something within me. The nasty and bitter memories of him and Brad trying to hurt me were too vivid to overlook.
Stormee´s question brought me back to a cruel reality. Even when I have always tried to bury those awful experiences in the back of my head, they remained there, pestering and rotting. I buried them instead of working on them... and right now, pretending I was okay would be futile because my daughter is an excellent character reader, and she has seen through me.
"He tried... twice..." I muttered, and I could see a storm brewing in her eyes. She was pissed and wanted to take action.
"Does Dad know?" She mumbled,
"He saved me the first time, and then the waking up of my elemental powers saved me the second time," I said, and she laced her fingers along mine.
"Mom, let's go..." She said, and I followed her in auto motion. It's been a long time since
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

Stormee AdalwulfThe first part of Alpha's meeting went smoothly. I knew my mother and father had more than enough experience to neutralize the cocky Alphas and create a suitable environment for negotiations to thrive.Aelfred was impressed with the various conversations the Alphas held and how the Betas handled the negotiations behind closed doors. For the system to work, the relationship of trust between Betas and Alphas must be blind.By lunch, we were all together in the dining hall. "I must say, Romeo... this is so enlightening..." Al said, and I nodded."We try to include all the core issues concerning packs: security, education, health services, financial support, sustainability, and trading. Then we put special affairs on the agenda, which means we open the floor for the specific needs a certain pack might have," Dad said, and Al nodded.Mom has set up a special buffet arrangement for lunch. As usual, it was vast and delicious. Werewolves t
AelfredThe following day, all the Alphas aligned with the Supreme King arrived. Romeo was still the king of their realm, along with being the ruler of every other realm. Romeo didn't intrude into the specific ruling of every realm, but he was the link between realms. He was the one that solidified a union among all the species.Today, they were hosting the Alpha Summit. Previously, people were running around preparing everything to greet their honorary guests. The servants, or, as Stormee calls them, Omegas, were busy cleaning, preparing food, and setting up different snack areas, resting areas and such.Stormee has corrected me several times about the term servants. She has made it clear that the basis of our people... the hardworking men and women who do all the labor, must be respected and treated with dignity. In the werewolf realm they call them Omegas because that is the last letter of the Greek alphabet, but in our realm, they are servants or slaves, and
Stormee AdalwulfAfter an after-dinner quickie and quickly getting ready, Al, Enzo, Ralph, and I headed towards the club. It was packed, as usual. Al looked delicious in his navy jeans and a tight black button-down shirt with rolled sleeves. I wore another dress, this one more fit for the occasion: a mini sequined golden jumpsuit with a deep plunging v-neck.People looked at him, especially women. They stared at his delicious wide frame and tall height. His short hair, in a messy look, made him look manly and enticing. Guys looked at me, but when Al wrapped his arms around my shoulders and tucked me into his side, he made them back off... while the women glared at me and kept staring at him.Enzo and Ralph moved around like fish underwater. They made their way to a new section in the club, and beside a red rope was a bulky man who opened
AelfredThe meeting ended, and it was customary that we stayed for dinner. As permanent guests of the Supreme King, it was a given for us to attend the gathering.We retired to our room, to have an hour of rest, and then we joined the rest in the dining room. David, Daliah, Sirena, Romeo, Stella, and Vladimir were already there. Stormee chose to wear a silver dress that flattered every single curve of her body, making my breath hitch every time I looked at her, and let's face it, I was staring at her like a fucking creep.We entered the dining room, and David looked at me and smirked. "Here comes the pistol..." He said, and I chuckled.I lowered my head and whispered to Storm, "You made quite an impression..." I said,"I am still debating between a good or bad impression..." She said, and I chuckled."Good, of course... You showed all of us what a true leader must be. The fire of your questions and proposals... the excitement i
Romeo AdalwülfToday was the meeting with the monarchs, and the day after tomorrow was the Alpha Summit. I hated how crowded my week was becoming and how less and less time I had to spend with my little girl, but alas, duty calls.David, Vladimir, and Sirena arrived early. The good thing about these meetings was that there were a few hours of meetings to catch up and keep our realms updated on the needs of each one and how we could solve them. These meetings were shorter than the Alpha Summit.The Alpha Summit lasted three to four days, while the All-Realms Council Meeting lasted a day at most. Most of the ruling kings showed up just to chat and exchange ideas. The All-Realms Council Meeting was a friendlier meeting than the Summit, and for that, I was thankful."Welcome..." I greeted them, and they looked at me with respect. We had developed a good relationship, bordering on a close friendship. Sirena and Stella kept in touch regularly, while David,
AelfredI saw Stormee leave with her brother and cousin. She needed this time. They were important to her, and I understood this moment was needed.I am a possessive bastard, a greedy man, but I understand that she also needs her space and her time and that she has her own affections, and even when she is my mate... she is her own person, and I love her for that.Peter, Romeo, and Alpha Eulisses asked me to join them at the studio, and we retired there. "Romeo told me you wanted to see investors or new clients..." Peter said without further ado."Yes, our companies have been servicing the regional elven market for a while, and Stormee suggested that we should explore other markets so that we are not dependent on a single business," I said, and he nodded."My niece has always been a sharp one..." He chuckled, and Eul
Stormee AdalwulfAfter dinner, I nudged Ralph, and he took Enzo away. We had our secret place in the woods. We used to run in wolf form, shift in the meadow, and stare at the stars. The last time we were together was on our birthday. Right before, I found Al as my mate, and we moved to the Elf Realm.We ran and playfully nipped at each other; we were a pack within a pack, and we accepted each other as such. With his incredible strength and speed, Ralph had to tame his gifts. With this playful nature, Enzo was the one giving us a hard time controlling the nipping and pushing around... while I ran and felt free. The feeling of running in my wolf form was what I missed the most from my time in the Elven realm. I am unsure if they would be as accepting of me if they saw me in my animal form.The elves are judgmental creatures, while Al and the others have been accepting and nurturing. I am unsure if they would be scared if they saw me in
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
