Chapter 79Coral guided them to the dining hall under the escort of the royal guard and as they entered the hall, everyone that had been seated stood instantly and bowed their heads in their direction."I'm not gonna lie, I kind of miss having a quiet breakfast without the audience already," Olympia murmured to Xavier, who chuckled in response.Olympia motioned for them to sit as she took her seat and the breakfast dishes were brought out."Goddess, is it going to be like this every time we eat?" Olympia frowned as she watched plate after plate of dishes being unloaded onto the table in front of them."I mean, at least we know you'll never be short of choice." Xavier chuckled.The seating arrangements were the same at the Royal Table as they had been the night before and Olympia found herself seated next to Bartholomew once more.She had already spotted Greyson and a few other faces she didn't recognize seated at one of the tables closest to theirs. Judging by their similarity in dres

They arrived at the entrance foyer to find Lexi and Allen seemingly in a bit of a standoff. Allen was refusing to look at her, whilst Lexi had a mild look of amusement on her face as she lazily cast her gaze over him."I don't know why you're so scared of me Beta boy." She commented as Olympia and Xavier pushed the doors open."I'm not scared! Why is it such a big deal if I'd rather ignore you? There's no law saying that I have to engage you in conversation." Allen grumbled as he held a box in one hand and steadied two large suitcases at his side with his other hand."Don't kid yourself. I can practically taste the fear and trepidation oozing out of you. I don't bite you know?" Lexi smirked, "Well… not unless you want me to."Allen scowled and sighed heavily, as Xavier cleared his throat and they both looked towards them expectantly."Ironic that you both turned up at the same time really." Xavier drawled with a sardonic smile. "Perhaps it's fate…" Olympia teased as Allen spluttered

Lexi had the grace to look a little embarrassed that her comment had been overheard and she mumbled an apology whilst she avoided eye contact with Bartholomew as he made himself comfortable in an old leather armchair that sat in front of his desk."No need to apologize, my dear, I'm fully aware of how people see us outside of these walls. Even more so those with Daemon blood, hmm? Our kind, especially those holding the title of Royal Elder, haven't always made the best decisions in relation to your people, now, have they?" He smiled warmly as Lexi's head shot up and she narrowed her eyes at him."How do you know that?" She questioned suspiciously, "I mean about my Daemon heritage. Have you been spying on me?!" Bartholomew chuckled."My dear, even with my wolf's heightened sense of smell being able to pinpoint your unique scent, I was present during the trial and the investigations that preceded it." He explained with a kind smile, "I'm fully aware of your heritage and I want you to

Times were very different back then and I had been dumped on the doorstep of the Moon Goddess's Sanctuary that used to stand at the midpoint of our Kingdom." He continued with the slightest hint of regret as he sighed again, a little more softly this time. "I try not to dwell on it too much as I know it was done in an effort to give me a better life than a clanless Vampire and a rogue shifter could give me back then. Now, of course, things are very much different. You can settle anywhere in the kingdom as long as you register with the authorities, perhaps even join a community if they are willing, although being independent is certainly something to be admired..." Bartholomew rambled a little before stopping and grimacing apologetically. "Ah, I'm sorry, I appear to have wandered off on a tangent. It happens sometimes." "It's okay. But, Bartholomew, wasn't the Sanctuary destroyed during the war though?" Olympia frowned.So much of their history and monuments had been destroyed in th

The three of them made their way down the never-ending, twisting corridors with the Royal Guards following closely behind. "Don't you get sick of tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee following you all the time?" Lexi murmured as she glanced over her shoulder at the two stoic guards with expressionless faces. "I guess I haven't had long enough to get sick of it yet," Olympia answered with a shrug. She was sure it would probably be irritating at some point, but for now, at least she had someone to ask if she got lost in the maze of corridors that the Enclave was turning out to be.After descending the third set of stairs that seemed to twist in upon itself, she was almost positive that if she tried to find her way back she would most likely get lost. She wasn't sure how she was supposed to tell Damonthere to get here."Bartholomew, I wanted Damon to meet us wherever you're taking us." She said a little hesitant as she pulled her phone out and began flicking through to the message center."Yes

Olympia couldn't seem to tear her eyes away from it, staring at the being on the cold, metal slab in front of her and almost forgetting to breathe.Greyson and Bartholomew stood at her side with a grim expression that was almost identical, and the Elders assembled at the edges of the room watched curiously as Lexi circled the creature slowly with a deep scowl creasing her forehead."This shouldn't be here." She muttered as she bent forward and peered closely at the creature's twisted face, its features contorted in a menacing snarl that had persisted even in death.Olympia understood the confusion as to why the beast didn't emit any odor, as the skin seemed to be paper thin and had broken apart in places, revealing the mass of flesh underneath. Lexi lifted her head and suddenly fixed Greyson with a hard stare. "You're saying there was no stench, or scent whatsoever when the creatures were attacking?" she asked, the thinly shrouded disbelief in her words hanging in the air accusingly

They had spent a good few hours within the cell that held the corpse and once the Elder's questions had been exhausted for the day, Olympia, Xavier, Lexi, and Allen left to allow the Elders to dissect the corpse itself. None of them had any desire to remain behind and see what the insides of that foul creature looked like in person and were quite content to allow the scholars to do what they did best and compile their findings into an exhaustive report. Once they emerged back into the hallways of the ground floor, Lexi finally uncovered her mouth and nose, her face still wrinkled in disgust."Ugh! It's like the odor is stuck inside my nose now." She groaned in irritation as she rolled her eyes to the ceiling."I'm sorry we couldn't do anything about that Lexi. Odd that you could smell it, and we couldn't, though. Olympia answered thoughtfully."Tell me about it. Necromancy stinks, quite literally and figuratively. I just don't understand why you couldn't smell it too." Lexi replied

Greyson looked down at the woman grabbing his arm with mild confusion as he tried to figure out what exactly it was that he had inadvertently walked into.He really didn't want to get caught up in any lover's quarrels but he had been intrigued by Lexi from the moment he had first laid eyes on her.She wasn't a wolf, that much was certain, but he couldn't place her scent. It was exhilarating, alluring, and called to him, yet he couldn't identify exactly what it was about her that intrigued him so much.He begrudgingly tore his eyes from her and glanced across at the pissed-off-looking man that she had identified as Allen, who was shooting daggers toward both of them. He instantly felt his wolf respond and could barely contain the growl that threatened to erupt from his chest. The unspoken challenge in Allen's glare was obvious, but Greyson refused to respond with violence in front of his Queen and her consort.Instead, he turned his attention back to Lexi, the warmth of her body press

With her plans for Coral now set in motion, she e-mailed the rough plan of the areas that she wanted her training in across to Eva and placed her phone on the bed at her side.Now all she had to do was get hold of Coral and let her know she would be going with Eva tomorrow.Olympia made her way out of their suite after letting Xavier know where she was going and headed down towards the Omega quarters, in the hopes that she would find her there.It wasn't long before she found some of the omegas milling about in the hallway, and as soon as they saw her, they stood and bowed their heads respectfully."I'm looking for Coral. Have any of you seen her?"The girls exchanged a look and pointed down the hallway."Last bedroom on the right your highness." They answered in unison, keeping their eyes firmly fixed on the floor.Olympia frowned and nodded her thanks as she made her way down to the bottom of the corridor and knocked gently on the door."Coral? Are you there?" There was a muffled so

After finishing up with Bartholomew, Olympia, and Xavier made their way back to their room. Xavier had some contracts to go over and was determined to conference call Allen and find out exactly what was going on.He had promised Olympia that he wouldn't get too angry with him, but he wanted him to know just how disappointed with him he was. Things could have been so different if he had just acknowledged his bond with Lexi from the start and embraced it. He was an idiot, and Xavier felt that it was about time that someone told him that seriously.Olympia still had to finalize details with Eva for Coral's training and she wanted to at least be able to provide her with a full itinerary for the training schedule so she settled herself on the bed and began drawing up a loose schedule.Once she was done she grabbed her phone and called her. The sooner it was arranged, the better, in her opinion, as it seemed that things were going to get incredibly busy if delegates were arriving already.

Bartholomew sat back in his chair and steepled his fingers in front of him as his eyes took on a far-away look.He had known Greyson since he was a young boy, and seeing him develop into the man he was today filled him with pride.To think that he was going to be thrown into the midst of the Royal Family and the tribulations that they were facing made his heart hurt a little, but there was no man more capable and more loyal than Greyson was, in his opinion."Commander Greyson is a good man, my Queen. You have nothing to worry about from him." Bartholomew answered finally with a smile."I understand; however, I don't have the luxury of knowing him as you do, Bartholomew, so if you would care to elaborate, I would be very grateful. I have known Lexi since we were children and if anything, it will put my heart at ease to know that whoever she chooses, she will be taken care of well."'I'm telling you, Olympia, she won't choose between them. My bet is on her taking both of them.''You don

Bartholomew sighed heavily as he poured fresh coffee into their cups and they took them gratefully."Well, it seems that Lexi has found herself at the center of a love triangle, which unfortunately resulted in a brief scuffle in the common dining area for guests." He explained carefully.'Oh she'll hate that..' Maeve sniggered sarcastically as Olympia frowned."Already? But she hasn't been here that long…" Olympia said, a little awestruck at how easily Lexi seemed to find herself in these situations."I understand that Lexi is quite a colorful character, but…does she often find herself in these situations?" Xavier asked incredulously as he stared at Olympia slightly open-mouthed."I think you are both getting the wrong idea here." Bartholomew interrupted quickly as they both refocused their attention on him. "It appears that both males involved seem to be under the impression that they have some sort of claim on her."Xavier snorted."Good luck with that. I can't see Lexi allowing any

After the exertions of the morning, both Olympia and Xavier had napped briefly before making their way to the dining hall and grabbing some lunch, before heading down to Bartholomew's office for a meeting that had been scheduled, only to find Lexi already there.Olympia marveled at the way that Lexi had seemingly grown fond of this particular Elder and was happy to let her guard down around him. The fact that she was reclined so comfortably in an unfamiliar place and clutching a drink in her hand so casually made Olympia incredibly happy.There were very few places where Lexi was truly accepted for who she was, and after initially being concerned that she would encounter a lot of difficulties here as well, she was pleased to have been proven wrong."Oh, wonderful! I'm pleased you came! I've been boring Lexi with tales of my past exploits for longer than she has cared to imagine I'm sure!" Bartholomew chuckled as he stood to greet them."He's a filthy liar!"Lexi interjected casually wi
His Regret, My Escape Chapter 95
Lexi was stunned.She was completely overwhelmed by the sensation of his lips against hers and their insistent movements, as if desperate to claim her as his own. She wanted to lose herself in this moment completely and her heart craved him between her legs but there was something niggling at the back of her mind and it was stopping her from immersing herself completely in the moment.The subtle hum of conversation returned to the room as people carried on as if nothing had happened, but for Lexi, everything had changed.Allen hated her and everything that she stood for, and he infuriated her with his constant pompous demands, so why would he do this now?Was he jealous because she had clicked instantly with Greyson? Greyson, the man who had stepped in to defend her in a heartbeat and didn't seem to give a shit about where she came from or how she acted.As the frantic panic of the thoughts in her mind brought her to her senses, she pushed away from Allen, glaring at him in disbelief.
His Regret, My Escape Chapter 94
At the mere sight of him, Lexi suddenly had no desire to tease Allen at this moment in time. Looking at him like this, with the anger rolling off him in waves and the vein pulsing in his neck angrily, he looked dangerous. That was something that she had never seen in him before.She swallowed nervously as he came to a stop before her, his chest heaving with anger. The golden irises of his wolf shone through brightly as he glowered down at her, the cloud of anger almost suffocating her as it seemed to envelop her completely."What the fuck are you doing here with him?" Allen snarled, with barely suppressed rage as Lexi stared at him, utterly transfixed by the metamorphosis of the quiet, restrained man that she had teased mercilessly to this vision of terrifying anger before her."I..uh.." she stammered, completely taken aback by his sudden appearance and the whole situation."Not a good answer, Lexi." He ground out as he took hold of her arm roughly and attempted to pull her up from h
His Regret, My Escape Chapter 93
Lexi had wandered with Greyson for a little while, making small talk as she allowed him to take the lead with the direction that they were headed.She found herself pleasantly surprised by his ability to hold a conversation and he didn't seem to fawn over her, nor reject her which intrigued her greatly.Men usually reacted in one of those two ways, and to find one who didn't was indeed a rarity.It did cross her mind briefly that he may indeed be hiding his true feelings about her, but there was no discernible cause to do so in her mind unless it was to try to get information out of her about Olympia of course. But, he hadn't brought her up in the conversation until now, so she was hesitant to condemn him so quickly."Is everything okay?" Greyson asked, stopping suddenly as he noticed her frown and his expression seemed to mirror her own as he frowned back at her in concern."Er, yeah? Why?" Lexi stammered defensively, a little shocked that he had even noticed."You're frowning. I did

Get out and seal the doors. No one leaves this chamber until I am finished, am I clear?" He growled as Ely scurried backward like a frightened mouse and fled through the doorway, the heavy doors swinging closed with an ear-splitting bang.Before Ada could steal a frightened glance at her mother, the male's boots appeared in front of her limited line of vision again and she felt a slight breeze ripple across her. It was obvious that he had now grabbed Narcissa roughly by the throat and lifted her into the air beside her, as the only thing visible from her position were the tips of her mother's boots dangling above the ground."Now, Narcissa. It seems you have forgotten the great honor that was bestowed upon you all those years ago." the male chastised in a bored tone over the sounds of Narcissa struggling for breath.His footsteps receded a little and Ada raised her head slightly. It was such a small movement, but it allowed her to follow the progress of her mother's feet across the ex
