TEDDY’S P.O.VI awoke from my sleep. The vibrations of my bedroom door slamming into the wall as it was opened roughly. The moment I opened my eyes, my father was already across the room, yanking my closet door open while tossing all my clothes out and onto the floor. I sat up abruptly, confused at what was going on. Before I knew it, he was grabbing my arm, yanking so hard I could feel a pop in my joint as he dislocated it from its socket once again. Pain coursed through me, yet no words left my mouth. I could feel the tears as they were brimming the edge of my eyes, threatening to fall. I looked up at his face for any sign as to what might be happening. His expression is only blank.“You’re leaving today.” I read from his lips as he tossed my weak body onto the ground.“Gather your shit and come to the dining room.” He said before storming out of my room.Where could I possibly be going? I barely remember ever being allowed out of the pack house to roam the lands, let alone go outsi
TEDDY’S P.O.VI looked between the beautiful woman named Lilyanna and my father before asking thequestion raging in my head."What do you mean? Why?" I singed, knowing my father had the slightest clue what I wassaying. His face contorted to anger."The girl can't speak?" I read off the lips of the previous Queen."She can, she just sounds weird." My father replied to her."What do you mean, sounds weird?" She asked the next question curiously."Well, the document has been signed, so she is your problem now. The girl is as useless as she isdeaf." He said, breaking my heart some more. Lilyanna then turned to me, addressing me for thefirst time since I had arrived."What is your name dear?""Her name is-""I asked her, not you." She said, cutting my father off.As much as I tried to get the words to leave my mouth, they just wouldn't come out. I couldspeak, of course, I just had no clue of my pitch nor what I sounded like. Every time I tried tospeak to anyone before, they would always la
TEDDY'S P.O.VAfter a little while of driving, I felt a soft tap on my shoulder. I looked over to see the queen'sshining green eyes staring at me. She truly was a beauty with her raven black hair. Nothing likemy vibrant red hair. I never got to go to the salon, all my haircuts were administered by Helena,and she was no beautician by any means. However, she knew enough to chop the dead ends off. Ihad long flowing curly red hair. Helena would have me sit at my vanity while she would gentlybrushed my long hair. She always loved me having long hair. She said it reminded her of mymother, which didn't bring me much comfort, especially when my family looked at me with suchdisgust. Maybe if I hadn't looked like my mother, then they would have loved me. It was ablessing and a curse, as my mother was gorgeous. But even I knew I couldn't compare myself toher. However, being told I looked like her made my heart swell. It was a compliment whetherthey meant it as one or not.Helena was never blesse
TEDDY'S P.O.VI watched out the window the entire drive, taking in the beautiful surroundings. I had neverimagined how vibrant and beautiful the outside world would look. If I knew what I was missing, Iwould've snuck away more. With not having a wolf, I did not have the urge to run on a normalbasis, so I would just lock myself away in my room with a cup of tea and a nice book. I wouldoften sit in my window seal and read as the sun shined down, giving me a sense of peace. I hadnever seen anything outside of my pack lands, so the beautiful mountains and roads spoke to mysoul on a deeper level. We soon passed a sign 'Welcome to Colorado'. I have lived in Texas myentire life; this was all new surroundings.Texas was hot, while here I saw the white crystals of snow peaking on the mountain tops. Wehave snow sometimes in Texas, but nothing like this. The temperature adjustments will definitelybe something I will have to get used to. Although I did not spend any time outside, I stillexperienc
I was starstruck at his gorgeous features. He had the most vibrant golden eyes I had ever seen,nothing like his mother's. I assume he must've inherited this from his father. He had a chiseledface with a beard to match his hair. I wanted to run my hand inside his hair and beard to feel thetexture difference. I was so lost with myself that I missed what he had said. Apanic coursedthrough me that wasn't there a moment ago. His face turned into a scowl at not answeringwhatever he had said. "Forgive her Fenris, she cannot hear." I read from Lilyanna's lips. "What doyou mean she cannot hear?" He addressed his mother, but his eyes never left me. "She was borndeaf," Lilyanna replied, immediately making my eyes dart away from his gaze, wanting to lookanywhere but at his face. I don't think I could handle the disgust on his face about havingcontracted a mate such as myself. I then felt a rough hand grab my chin, bringing my green eyesto meet his golden orbs. I shiver ran down my body at the con
TEDDY'S P.O.VI looked back at the timid girl who still stood in the doorway. Not wanting to scare her any more than she already was. I decided to try and talk to her."I am Teddy," I said out loud, trying to overcome my fear of them all making fun of my voice. Her head shot up to look at me."Queen Teddy.""Please, just Teddy.""The King said...""Can you at least call me Teddy when it's just us two? Please." I begged. Asmall smile tugged at her lips."My name is Imagen.""Can you write it for me? I need to make sure I read it correctly." I said as Ihanded her the pen and paper I had in my pocket from when the queen handed it to me in the car. She carefully wrote her name out."Imagen?" I asked out loud. She shook her head yes in response."It is nice to meet you, Imagen," I said immediately following."Likewise. Where are you from?" She asked, her eyes bulging at her bravery."I am sorry, that was not my place to ask, it is none of my business about your personal life I..""Red Blo
CHAPTER 7 PREPARING FOR THE KINGTEDDY'S P.O.VImagen worked hard on my hair, in the end resulting in something more beautiful than I could have ever done myself. She had my hair in a half-up, half-down style. The top part is with a fishtail braid, leaving a few strands to curve around my face at the front. The tail was lying down on the curled bottom half. It looked more like a wedding style rather than a dinner style. I felt fancy for the first time in my life. I did a once over while looking in the full-body mirror. The dress snugged tightly around my body, accenting all the right spots. The v-line dipped low in the back, stopping just above my bum. The back had a little stone string attachment that dangled down my spine. There was a slit on the right leg to show off my calf and lower thigh. She did my makeup to match my shoes, red. She had me wearing heels, the heels not being too high, maybe 2-3 inches. Thanks to the goddess because I have never worn heels before. My eyes raked o
CHAPTER 8 UNDERSTANDINGFENRIS'S P.O.VI asked an intrusive question. But I wasn't wrong in doing so. She was weak, scared, and as far as I could tell, she had no qualities that a Queen should have or portray to her kingdom. I am not sure why my mother decided on her. Yes, my match had to be a virgin, but surely there was another she-wolf born of an Alpha bloodline that had her virginity still intact. Ashe-wolf that was at least brave enough to speak when spoken to.Teddy was deaf, which was rare to find in a wolf. It is also not a good gene to pass down to your heir when breeding for the next king. Did my mother not consider that either? What else was it about this she-wolf that would be deemed unfit to stand at my side as my queen? I wasn't trying to be a dick. I was just looking out for the future of my kingdom as I thought my mother was supposed to be doing. I am just confused about what made her possibly think that Teddy was worthy of being the next queen. What made her think tha
