CHAPTER 39 INTERUPTIONFENRIS'S P.O.VI sat there waiting for Tanner to send me an update. I wasn't wasting time; however, I was also looking in the archives for any possible loopholes that I could use to change the way the Elders had so much control over the King's life, they didn't need control over who, what and when it happened. I wanted to change the restrictions on fated mates, change the idea of what makes a queen be qualified. The moon Goddess wouldn't have given a king a fate mate if the bond weren't supposed to benefit the kingdom. I had been looking for days with no success, even before I had mentioned it to Uriah. Maybe a fresh set of eyes will help find something we could use."It's 6:45am, Fenris, our meeting starts in 15 minutes. We should probably head there.""Okay." I said as I put the papers down.We made our way to the other side of the palace to go endure yet another pointless meeting. I sat in my normal seat waiting for everyone else to arrive. Once we were all p
CHAPTER 40 WATCHINGTEDDY'S P.O.VI stood up from my seat pissed off. The audacity of this man was beyond me."You literally have no boundaries, do you?""He needed to remove his hand.""He didn't need to do anything. Who do you think you are coming here and acting like this?""Your mate, that's who!""You lost that right, when you rejected me in front of that group of people!" I screamed out, infuriated with his bullshit at that point.How was I supposed to move on if he wouldn't let me?"He is just doing what an Alpha would do over his mate, love. Don't worry. I take no offence. Once you accept his rejection, he and his wolf can let the bondgo and move on as well." Liam spoke up next to me.I thought about his words for a moment. My wolf, however, wined at the idea of accepting his rejection."You're right, its time I let it go... I Teddy Hemenes accept... -"Before I could get the words out, a hand covered my mouth. Fenris had made huge strides across the room so he could stop me
CHAPTER 41 SAFETY FIRSTTEDDY'S P.O.VAs much as I wanted to believe it was some joke, I couldn't take the chance. I wanted to take the next step with Liam, but I wasn't sure that the next step was to move in with him. We had only been seeing each other for 3 weeks, but the note left me with no other option. I couldn't risk the safety of my child, the safest place for me was at Liam's side. He would let no harm come to me or my unborn baby. I, of course, still had Tanner, and then two guards from Liam's pack. But this intruder managed to get into my room without any of them knowing. Tanner went wild trying to find out who it was. There was no trace of a scent left behind, nor did any security cameras catch anyone entering or exiting my room. Which made me more terrified.I paced my room waiting for Liam to return my call when my phone started going off. I quickly answered without looking at the caller ID."Liam, thank god, something has happened." I said, but the other line was dead s
CHAPTER 42 NEW BEGINNING'STEDDY'S P.O.VI couldn't get the faces of all those men, women, and children out of my mind. It’s not medieval times. Why on earth would he behead someone then spike their decomposing heads down his pathway? He never seemed like that kind of person when we were together. There must be a good reason for those sorts of actions."That is disgusting." Tanner muttered my exact thoughts as we kept driving down the road."I am sure he had a good reason for what he did." I tried defending. But not really believing my words myself."Or just a power-hungry man wanting to show dominance to those inferior to him." Tanner replied, his eyes never leaving the road.I bit my lip to not say anything. We passed by another face which in turn made me sick to my stomach. The child looked no more than 4 years old. Why would this be something worth displaying? What could a child do so badly that would warrant this?"He is a fucking monster. Luna Queen, please reconsider. We can tu
CHAPTER 43 FINDINGSTEDDY'S P.O.VOnce I got Tanner safely out of Liam's pack lands, I felt relief wash over me. I had him now going to go do a special mission for me.'I wish we could've left with him. This doesn't feel right being here.''I think this is exactly where we are needed.'Once back at the packhouse, I entered to hear more whispers. I liked being able to hear. I didn't realize the benefit of hearing until Celeste gave me the gift. I don't think those who can hear realize how beneficial it is. They definitely don't cherish it like they should, that's for sure.I started walking around aimlessly, not really lost, more like snooping. Getting a feel of the home. I needed to know the place in and out for my own benefit."My love, where are you going?" I heard Liam's voice call out. I let go of a door handle and whipped around."Sorry, I just returned from escorting Tanner out. I must've gotten lost. I cannotseem to find my room." I replied, lying."And where is your maid? She
CHAPTER 44 DISCOVERIESTEDDY'S P.O.VTallie sat there confused. To be fair, if anyone else saw me now without the proof that Tallie had, they would assume I was talking to myself or maybe to thin air. But at least she saw their figures. Even if it were brief, she knew they were there. I wasn't just some lunatic talking to myself."I can take you to his office, where he has spent a lot of time." Lenard finally said."We have to be discreet. If we are caught, I may not be able to use the lost card again." I said, agreeing to go."Follow me." The ghost said as he disappeared through the wall."Tallie, you can stay here. If you are caught with me, I'd hate for him to punish you." I said, addressing Tallie next."If I am caught without you, I will be punished either way." She replied with her head held down."It is your choice, come or stay. I will not make the decision for you. But just know, what I am about to do may not be safe."I then turned to leave, opening the door looking both way
CHAPTER 45 DANGERFENRIS'S P.O.VI had been working day in and day out to get the Elders overruled. Uriah found a loophole that would allow me to choose who I wanted and dismantle the current Elders. The only downfall was the Elder's spots would have to be replaced. Unfortunately, there was no taking away the Elders' positions, but I could choose new ones in their stead.I also had been ignoring Teddy's calls. As much as it pained me to do, I knew if I answered she would say the words I wanted to ignore. There had to be a way for me to show her Liam's true colors. I wouldn't give up that easily. I had been sending her flowers and letters, along with many texts. None of which she had replied to.I even started a class like she had suggested, for the kingdom to learn sign language, something she was passionate about. I had reached out to her father's pack offering Helena, her caregiver, a lot of money to take up a position within my kingdom. Neither she nor her Alpha could resist. I had
CHAPTER 46 PLANSFENRIS'S P.O.VI couldn’t' wrap my brain around it. All I knew was, Helens was telling the truth. My mate and pup were in danger."Marci was pregnant with Teddy when I arrived at the pack. She knew her powers would be discovered and sought one day. She knew the safety of her pup was all she wanted. Marci ensured I was to take care of Teddy when she was no longer there. Marci knew she wouldn't make it. She said something about the birth of the next one of her kind could ultimately take her life. She said she felt the powers Teddy had inside. She asked me to do one thing when she was no longer on the earthside."She stopped talking to give me a chance to ask any questions. When I had none, she continued."She asked one thing of me. To hide her true ability.""So, you're the reason she had no wolf?""No, that was pure coincidence, her wolf was there, she just never surfaced when she was supposed to. I was instructed to hide her powers so Helga would not seek her out. Wit
