CHAPTER 19 LIESFENRIS'S P.O.V"Please take a seat, Alpha Kirk. We have some very important business to discuss." I said as he entered, closing the door behind him. He looked around the room, his eyes landing on Teddy for longer than I liked before they rested on his daughter."What is this about?" He asked as he took a seat next to Lydia."Daddy, I swear it wasn't my fault! She started it!" Lydia screamed out like a spoiled brat."What was whose fault? What is going on here?""It seems that we have a situation. I could have handled this without you, but out of respect I asked you to be present." I said confidently."What is the situation?" He asked as his eyes roamed back over to where Imagen and Teddy sat."As I stated before, there was a situation that happened. Lydia took it uponherself to go against the very rules she swore not to break by attacking another member.""It was self-defense!" Lydia screamed out, Imagen scuffing in response."Who do you think you are girl? Laughing a
CHAPTER 20 GUILTYTEDDY'S P.O.VEveryone was talking so fast I could hardly keep up with all that was going on. But I did get most of it."Imagen, take Teddy to her room and lock the door. Do not open it for anyone other than my mother, Uriah, or myself." Fenris said, his eyes never leaving Lydia or her father."Yes, Alpha." Imagen said as she touched my arm, signaling with her head for me to go. As I stood up, so did the Alpha they addressed as Kirk."Now why would I let her go anywhere when too much has been exposed?""You have no choice!" Fenris yelled as his eyes changed between gold and black, indicating his wolf was surfacing."Everyone has a choice boy, you had a choice before you stuck your dick inside of my daughter, didn't you?""From the sounds of it, he didn't have much of a choice." I said, all eyes nowlooking at me."Oh, the girl speaks. And here I thought she was deaf and mute. Tell me girl, who do you think you are to speak out to me? You think, because that little fl
CHAPTER 21 REVENGETEDDY'S P.O.V"Why are you trembling? Don't tell me you're afraid?" I asked as I walked toward Lydia, her legs slowly backing away until her body hit the wall."You're not only deaf but your eyes are glowing this weird white color, you're a freak!" She screamed.I had no idea what she was talking about, nor did I care. I wanted revenge for what she did to my friend. I told Lydia that I would take Imagen's place. There was no reason for what she had done. Her actions were purely evil."You will pay for the evil acts you have done! PAY DO YOU HEAR ME!" I screamed out as a flash of light blasted from my body, hitting her directly in the chest.Her body hit the wall which cracked from the impact of the force. She then collapsed to the floor, leaving a huge hole in the wall where she hit it. She laid on the floor unmoving but still breathing, barely, but still breathing, nonetheless. The impact must've knocked her out cold. I started making my way toward her when I felt
CHAPTER 22 WHAT NOW?TEDDY'S P.O.VI didn't know what to expect. I am not sure how Imagen was still alive, Lydia cut her so deep. There was so much blood loss, too much blood loss actually. Her being alive was a miracle. I hadn't left her bedside in 3 days. The wedding was set to happen in 2 days. I didn't want to continue on while she lied in bed in this comatose state, this all happened because of me. But I had a duty to uphold. A soft tap on my shoulder took me out of my thoughts."Ma'am, Queen Lilyanna requested your presence to finalize everything for the wedding." The new handmaiden that was assigned temporarily had said."Thank you, Josie. I will be there shortly."She nodded as she shut the door behind her. I looked back at the fragile girl, her curly brown hair cascading around her face. Ascar on her neck where it had been sliced, her wolf not even able to heal the scaring. I reached up, moving the piece of hair that had fallen in her face."The Queen has requested my presenc
CHAPTER 23 FITTINGFENRIS'S P.O.VAs I sat in Imagen's hospital room waiting for Teddy, I couldn't help but wonder how she had been doing. I have been keeping my distance from her for many reasons. One reason being this overwhelming sense of need to be around her, something I am not used to. Then there was the fact I truly was busy with interrogating both Kirk and Lydia for more answers. I don't like torture, but they leave me no room to make any other judgment calls. It was deeper than just her wanting to be the queen of the werewolf kingdom. What other ulterior motives were behind their deception? Another question I keep asking was who all working with them was. Was there something bigger going on that my kingdom needed to be prepared for? Witches don't work for free, which led me to believe there was more going on, something a lot bigger, and I needed to get to the bottom of it.I could smell pumpkin spice before I could even hear the footsteps nearing in. A smell my wolf craved ab
CHAPTER 24 INTERROGATIONFENRIS'S P.O.VI didn't want to resort to torture, but I wasn't above it either."Maybe we should bring in Cass." Uriah suggested as he walked away from the chained-up Lydia."You think we should involve magic?""It wouldn't hurt to try it.""Very well. I will mindlink her to come."Luckily, Cass has cast a spell to allow her to also be able to mindlink within the royal pack, just like wolves in the pack could do. Makes it convenient for when we need to get in contact with her quickly.I stepped into the interrogation room that held Lydia. Her father, Kirk, was chained three cells down from the interrogation room. Wolfbane and silver were being used to be able to control the wolf from being able to shift. As I walked in, Lydia's head popped up from the interrogation desk."Baby, please. I love you. I only did this because I wanted to be with you." She pleaded. But the softness in her voice or her batty eyes didn't work for me. It actually repulsed me. How did
CHAPTER 25 AWAKETEDDY'S P.O.VMy eyes fluttered open to the feeling of movement beneath my hand. I don't remember falling asleep, but I haven't slept much since the incident. Truth be told, I haven't spent much time outside of the hospital other than to shower and change. All my meals have been delivered to the hospital for me. I am sure Josie had been bored out of her mind having to sit with me in case I needed her. I tried telling her she could leave but she refused. My eyes went from my hand, which was holding onto Imagen's, then moved to her face. Her eyes were beginning to flutter open for the first time since the incident. I quickly pushed the nurse's button so I could tell them she was awake. Amoment later, I could feel the vibration of the door as it opened up. Imagen's eyes were fully open as she stared around the room confused."Good you're awake. Welcome back to the land of the living." The doctor said, trying to be funny. But it wasn't all that funny, truthfully.Imagen t
CHAPTER 26 WEDDING DAYTEDDY'S P.O.VI awoke to Imagen jumping onto my bed early the next morning. The doctor released her that night on the agreement that she would return for a follow-up appointment later in the week. She was just excited to be out of there and able to attend the royal wedding. She kept stating it was going to be a 'night to remember'. Whatever that means.I hardly slept last night with all the raging thoughts and the swarm of butterflies in my stomach. I was getting married to the most powerful man of our kind, in front of everyone. I didn't know if it was a dream come true or a nightmare, but either way, I was nervous.'Get up, we have a long day!' She wrote, but her face was what showed the excitement."Fine!" I exclaimed as dramatically as I could.The remainder of the morning went fairly quickly. Lilyanna showed up shortly after I was out of the shower with many assistants following behind. By 3 pm, I had my hair in a beautiful wedding style updo with flowers a
