After my talk with Martha, I paid a visit to the Alpha King's room. In order to help Martha and her sister Celine, I was going to have to ask for a huge favour from him. I knocked on his room, listening as my knock echoed on the inside of his large suite. There was no response, so I knocked again. The Alpha King actually walked over and opened the door himself, peeking out like he had something to hide. I looked at his head in mild confusion. "Can I come in? We need to talk about something very important." I said calmly, and he looked very guilty and uncomfortable. "Is the wine here, Xavi?" I heard a feminine voice ask from inside his suite, and it all made sense why he stood peeking out at me like an undressed woman. "Is that Morrigan?" I asked, as I pushed the door open to see for myself. There was Morrigan, completely naked and my god! She was beautiful. I stood, just staring at her firm and full breasts, the curve of her womanly hips. She had no cellulite, stretch mark or even
"Can I talk to you about something though, Attus?" I asked suddenly, sitting up to show how serious I was. Attus chuckled deeply, "Is that supposed to be a riddle or a trick question? Of course you can always talk to me about anything above, beneath and on this earth." He said enthusiastically, and I smiled widely at him.Taking a deep breath, "I want to talk to you about a matter concerning my personal maid. She has informed me that the Queen Mother asked her to go back home for the six weeks that I am not to be here, and take them as her days off. Do these decisions have to be made without me being in the loop? Because I seem to just be thrown into things around here." I took a deep breath. "First, I was suddenly asked to meet this Miss Bo-ffet who did not seem to know what to do with her hands around Xavier. And who herself told me about the Royal Brides Academy, which I did not even know was a thing. Lady Cadbury was here too, talking about wedding dresses and themes and my drea
The drive to the Academy was so long that I fell asleep and woke up over four times. Martha made sure to attend to all my needs, and make sure that I was well fed on the foods listed on the list permissible foods for the course. I felt a gentle tap on my back and I slowly opened my eyes. It was Martha, "Miss, we are here!" She whispered, and I could tell the excitement in her voice. She was more optimistic and thrilled about the whole exercise than I could ever be. I just wanted to be back in my room at the Castle, reading a good book, or in the TV room watching one of my favorite shows with Attus. The guard held open the limousine door, and I stepped out shyly, looking at the large and highly glamorous building before my eyes. There were royal people around, all wearing a beautiful purple suit dress in different style variations. The building had possibly over a million storeys.The floors were white marble with gold trim, which matched the color of the building itself. There was a
The building Glenn pulled me to, seemed to be one of those old buildings that were built in the early 1900’s but redesigned to stay in tune with the current structural trends for houses. It had two floors with four storeys, each with two windows. A small balcony stood near the front door. There were several large wooden benches sitting near the edge of the porch. In the center of the building sat an outdoor fountain. We approached it as soon as we reached the sidewalk, Glenn, Mila, Martha and I, all looking over our shoulders to make sure that no one was behind us. This part of the campus seemed usually deserted. The fountain, named after its creator in a poem by Emily Dickinson, was filled with water from a hose that ran from the top down into a basin shaped like a heart. The bowl was filled with small stones that made a gentle tinkling noise when I moved them in any direction."What do we do here? I thought we had been heading to the part where there were lights, life, music and
"Yes, Becky. I dreamt that they died." the thought alone filled me with so much mirth that I smiled very brightly. "I understand that you felt hurt, but why are you smiling so brightly while talking about the possible deaths of our parents? Was it really that bad?" Becky asked with a look of pure horror on her face. "Was it not that bad, Becky? I am not smiling at their deaths, but was it really not that bad?" I retorted. "Oh, it was?"Becky scoffed." Your experience for barely two weeks can never compare to what I have endured living in your shadow for all my life simply because I was not the special pup of legend…""But you did not fail to live up to the prophecy in front of the whole pack. Becky, you did not and still do not have the silver hair; a stamp of being cursed everywhere you go…""But are you not enjoying the hair? Look at how you've styled and embraced the look. My roomie cannot stop blabbering about how much she wants to get silver hair too like yours…" "Shut up, Bec
The next morning, I was very eager to tell Martha about how I had run into my sister, but I thought better of it. If I talked to her about my sister, I would have to tell her so much more about my life before the Castle than I wanted to. Of course I trusted her, but I really just wanted to protect myself. When you have your family beat you to death and go to bury you in the forest, you just never heal from it. How was I even sure that buying Martha was enough for her to be loyal to me? If there was anything that time had taught me, it was that people were perpetually completely unknowable. I could never truly know the next person's heart's contents, no matter how much I liked them or they said they love me. "Ready for today's hassle? We're to be grouped into classes today based on how powerful or rich our soon to be Alpha husbands are." Glenn said as we stretched. I smiled, trying to be as quiet as possible and not get noticed by the yoga instructor at the front." Lower yourself i
Together, we all made our way out of the room after Mila was done with Glenn's makeup. Glenn asked for red lipstick the same shade as mine.She looked like royalty in her dressing and her ponytail that showed off her blue eyes and her blonde features. We walked leisurely to the common area as we still had fifteen minutes to spare for dressing.The other girls were already waiting for the class distributions to begin. Mila and Glenn found a sofa, and we all sat on it, chatting animatedly."I feel very uncomfortable," Mila whispered. She had very bad social anxiety, which I could relate with. I held her left hand which was closest to me, and Glenn held her right hand. And Martha reached past my shoulders and rubbed Mila's."You are not alone, Mila. I will be with you wherever escorts go." Martha said soothingly, and Mila smiled broadly. I suddenly felt strange, b
"Let's start by introducing ourselves please, will we?" The first teacher said, "Just mention your name and the name of your fiance Alpha. Is that alright?" She asked, and I felt relieved because I did not know much else."Net worth too! This class contains $500 million to $900 million, so we know who is who? I definitely want to know, so I mingle with my kind only." That was the redhead.Some of the other girls rolled their eyes. "Shut up please! You really do not have to always show yourself! If you want to know the individual husband's net worth, take your snobbish ass over to the Records office and do the research yourself. Nobody will do the damn work for you."A dark-haired girl said from the back and everyone turned to look at her.I smiled and gently nudged Glenn, "We like her already, right?" She said conspiratorially, and I laughed.
