Dad said, "Conri, I know you want to protect her, but she is a highly trained warrior. She will not be sidelined. It doesn't matter how much you try. She does, however, have other ways to fight, besides getting right in the middle of it. She would be a huge asset to your warriors. She knows fighting styles that most packs don't even think of training in. Plus, her mother developed a fighting style that can disable a whole army, without killing them. Ash has been trained in it too. There are only three werewolf packs that were trained in it, and all three packs are now one... ours."
Conri said, "How can I keep her safe if I can't keep her from fighting?" Dad chuckled and said, "You can't. All you can do is stay close to her in the fight. Like you did last night. You were really good at fighting and keeping her safe at the same time. If you are afraid that you can't do that in a particular battle, ask her to use her magic instead of fighting. She knows how to do that too." Aft

My dad said, "Why do you want her so bad that you are willing to attack our pack for her?" He said, "She's a special wolf. We need one for our pack." My dad said, "We have a few. Why her, in particular." He said, "She's the only one that isn't a Luna, Beta Female, or a Future Alpha or Future Beta. But there is something different about her now." I took my jacket off one shoulder and showed him the mark as Conri said, "You are now trying to kidnap a Lycan Princess! This is grounds for the death penalty for all who survived your attack. Are you the Alpha? You healed faster than anyone else in here." He said, "I am the Beta. My name is Connor. Our Alpha is Lobo." Conri asked, "Where is your Alpha?" He said, "Not sure. I know he fought with us because he is obsessed with getting your princess. Although I doubt he knows you are a princess." I said, "I just became a princess last night before the party started. That was when I found my mate." Dad said, "Doesn't matter now. You wil
As we drove away, I got a mind link from Seth: S: Hey, didn't get a chance to say goodbye. I'm on patrol. M: Meet us in on the way out. S: Ok. I'll be at the entrance. M: Got it. Then I asked Conri to stop at the entrance to the pack grounds, so I can say goodbye to Seth. He stopped at the entrance and Seth came out in a pair of shorts. I got out and hugged him. I said, "I was so wrapped up in the attack and finding my mate, I didn't ask; Did you find your mate yet?" He said, "Not yet, but the ball is coming up soon, so maybe I will find her then." I said, "I hope you do. I'm going to miss you." Seth smiled and said, "I'll miss you too. You better get going. We have some patrols who are going to be following you out of pack territory. I don't trust Cam not to attack the vehicles and cause an accident." I said, "Thanks." I got back in the vehicle, and we drove away as I waved. Conri said, "You guys are really
It took another forty-five minutes to get to the castle. I was ready to get out and stretch when Conri parked the vehicle. I got out and started stretching by lifting my arms over my head and standing on my tiptoes. Then I started bending to either side, and I heard a growl. I giggled and said, "Is that my mate?" He walked up behind me, wrapped his arms around my waist and picked me up. He put me down and I turned to face him, "I was just stretching, from sitting for so long. Okay?" He smiled, "But I loved the view. I didn't want anyone else enjoying the view." I smiled and said, "I will try to keep my public stretching to a minimum. But I will be stretching with the warriors when I train them. I am already marked. From what Trina told me, they already know I can kick their asses too." Conri laughed and said, "Your warriors must have told mine about your fighting styles." I nodded and said, "Trina wants to learn." He said, "All the warriors will learn." I laughed, 'That's exactly wh
Conri and I were in our room, and I thought of something that I really needed to do... like, now. I said, "I need to go back and see Queen Eden and Queen Lakelyn." Conri said, "Why?" I said, "This is my chance to find out how to reach the Fae high court and the leaders of the fairies and Centaurs." He said, "Well, let's go." We walked back to the sitting room and they were still visiting with Queen Nina. I walked into the room, and sat by Queen Nina. I said, " I have a question for you ladies, and I'm really hoping you can help me." Queen Eden said, "You are continuing your mother's quest to unite species, aren't you?" I smiled and said, "I am. I would like to meet with the Fae High Court, the leader of the Fairies, and the leader of the Centaurs. I believe all of them would be powerful allies." Queen Eden said, "I can definitely take you to the Fae High Court. Just know that they are not easily persuaded, and they are very stuck on status. You will need to have something pr
Convel laughed as he got up and said, "I would love to see this new fighting style you are going to teach us." I said, "I can do that. The ceilings in here are higher, I'm going to have some real fun." Convel looked scared as I motioned for Conri to approach. I got to his ear and whispered, "When he looks comfortable, grab one of his ankles to distract him." Conri smiled and whispered in my ear, "You're making me want you more." I laughed and said, "I want you too. Let's wear these guys out so we can have some time for us." He smiled and said, "You sound like they're our kids. Kinda makes me want to put a pup or two in you." I waggled my eyebrows at him and said, "Who said I would have a problem with that?" He laughed as I said to Convel, "Okay. Ready?" He got in a defensive position, and I levitated us about five feet off the floor. He yelled, "WHOA!" I said, "You're fine. Start sparring. I was throwing punches, just to kill time until he got comfortable. He started getting more co
Conri and I walked into the castle, and I was still furious. Conri said, "Why don't we eat dinner, then we can take mom and dad into dad's conference room and call your dad from there." I stopped and put my hand on Conri's cheek. I said, "If there is one thing you need to know about me, it's this; when I get this mad, I can't eat. I need to punch or kick something or someone. You go ahead and eat. I'm going to work out some aggression, so that I don't take it out on someone who doesn't deserve it." He smiled and said, "Damn, my badass mate and her ways. Will I ever get used to them? Probably not, but I will have fun trying." I laughed, "I'm going to change and go to the gym. I will let you know when I'm done." He kissed me gently and said, "I would love to eat you; I mean with you this evening. Try to make it quick?" My thighs clench tight at his purposeful slip-up and I said, "I will try. You don't want me staying this angry; I promise." He said, "Okay. I will let you work it out."
Conri and King Fenris laughed as I said, "Beyond pissed. I took the ladies who are guarding me, and we went to my new gym. By the way, thanks for that dad. I've already knocked Conri's brothers on their asses." Mom and dad laughed as I said, "I think you guys are going to be safe. For some reason, they are after me." Mom said, "Unfortunately, I think this may be another one of your trials." I said, "Well, tomorrow, I am meeting with the leader of the Centaurs to form an alliance. Queen Eden has told me that she can take me to meet the Fae High table and Queen Lakelyn has offered to take me to meet the Queen of the Fairies." Mom said, "When you get to the Fairies and the Fae, call on Selene. They will want that sign of status." I said, "That's what I was thinking too." We all decided that the four guards around me is plenty, but they would also stay around me when I'm with Conri. There would be a minimum of four warriors guarding our wing at all times, and two more who stayed
I smiled at him and said, "It doesn't matter. It's done now. Killing them isn't going to undo what happened to me. Plus, every single thing that I went through, led me right here. For that, I am more than grateful." King Fenris said, "That's the best way to look at it. I have tried to tell my boys that exact thing, but I guess I never thought to put it that way. I have just always told them that every moment we are alive is a blessing." I said, "That's true. I could've been killed more times than I care to count since around fourth grade. I even considered trying to kill myself a couple times, but my mom talked to me. She went through the same stuff I did, only worse. Her school was a human school, so she couldn't fight back without letting everyone know that she's a werewolf. At least I was able to fight back, and my parents backed me up on it. I also had Chloe, Nico and Seth. They were always my best friends." Conri smiled and said, "I'm glad you see it that way, but I wou
