CHAPTER 66 NEW PLANFENRIS'S P.O.VI slammed the office door, the sight sending anger coursing through my body. How could I have been so stupid? I thought allowing her to train with Tanner would benefit her. Instead, it was making them closer each day they spent together.'If he lays a hand on my mate other than training, I will rip his heart out where he stands and EAT IT!' Kingston roared in my mind.His anger only added to my own.'Tomorrow, we leave for four days. In those four days we must get her to fall for us.''No mutt, no problem.' Kingston replied.Except there was a problem. No matter what I did, I couldn't get her to look at me the way she just was looking at Tanner. I couldn't hear what they were saying but the look in her eyes told me that she cared for him. More than I thought. 'What if she is falling for him? What do we do then?' I asked my wolf, knowing he wouldn't have the right answers. He was an animal after all, and they only acted on pure instinct.'Kill him.'
CHAPTER 67 ROAD-TRIPTEDDY'S P.O.VFenris had everything already packed in the car aside from some bags. He was feeding Elias, which was also already ready to go when I woke up. It left me speechless. He really was excited for this trip, which made me more nervous.'Mate is a gentleman.' Gemma said as I got into the passenger seat.'Well, you weren't here when he wasn't so gentle with me.' I said before shutting down her sappiness.Last thing I needed was my wolf altering my brain with her thoughts. I foolishly allowed her to truly bond with her mate, not thinking of the outcome. Now all she talks about is mate this, mate that. It wears me down most days’truth be told. When I finally think I've broken free of the constant thoughts of Fenris, Gemma goes and pipes up about something to do with him. Recreating the never-ending cycle of consuming thoughts about him.It's not her fault, she is an animal, and her natural instinct is to want her mate. But she doesn't know what it feels like
CHAPTER 68 RED BLOOD PACKTEDDY'S P.O.VWe stopped a few more times before finally passing the 'Welcome to Texas' sign. The car ride hadn't been as miserable as I had expected. We managed to make small talk. He was opening up about his work and the dilemmas he was facing with it. He was also asking for my unbiased opinions. Which was nothing like before when he basically told me that my role was finances and party planning. We talked about the possible outcomes of his situations and how he could get around any issues. Luckily, he didn't bring up chasing me back the rest of the ride. Which made me relieved but also a little sad. I kind of liked being showered with his verbal affection. But I also knew that desiring that kind of attention was a dangerous game."We are almost there." Fenris said as the GPS told him to merge onto a dirt road.The familiar dirt road I never longed to see again as I left this place."Great." I answered sarcastically. I wasn't sure he picked up on the sarcas
CHAPTER 69 MEMORIESFENRIS'S P.O.VOnce alone Teddy let out a relieved sigh."I guess she isn't on your favorites list." I said, stating the obvious."If one existed, she would be somewhere at the bottom." Teddy stated as she flopped down on the bed.I got Elias out of the car seat, getting him changed while she let out another exasperated sigh."I thought this would be easier. But seeing her brought up unwanted feelings. I don't even know what to expect of seeing my actual brothers and father or even my wicked stepsister." She said as she leaned up on her arms to look at me."What they did to you won't get any easier to deal with, let alone confronting those feelings head on. It takes courage to do that.""Not to them." She stated as she sat all the way up. Elias began to fuss right on que after getting changed."I guess it's your turn now." I stated as I handed a very hungry baby over to Teddy.She undid her shirt again as she pulled her breast out. This time it didn't take me off
CHAPTER 70 DOLPH DINNERFENRIS'S P.O.VI looked back at Teddy as she stood from the ground gathering up all her keepsake memories. I started helping to get it all back in the box."We will be down shortly." I said to her stepsister, annoyed at the interruption.I was so close to having her lips on mine once again and poof it was snatched away."I just want to ensure that the King has the proper escort to his dinner." She said in an openly flirtish tone."No thanks. I have all I need right here. You can leave us be." I said turning to look at Teddy while dismissing Allie.The sound of feet stomping away let me know that she got the hint, and I didn't have to repeat myself. Teddy began to push the windowsill up when I put my hand over hers, stopping her. Her eyes looked up to me as her face scrunched up the cute way it does when she was confused. "This is going home with you." I said as I looked at the box from her hand. "It doesn't belong here; we will drop it off in our room before h
CHAPTER 71 TRY METEDDY'S P.O.VI didn't overlook the fear in his eyes. He was at a loss for words. I'm not sure where the sudden burst of confidence came from. Maybe it was Fenris, maybe even Gemma. Or it was an instinct to protect my pup. Either way I meant every word. If he even dares to treat Elias other than the King's Heir, I will kill him with my bare hands, showing no remorse. I always wanted him to be happy, always wanting to please him. But now that I sit here staring at his weak demeanor, I could care less with how he feels or what he thinks. He could die today, and I may not even shed a tear, that's how much I didn't give a fuck. I hadn't realized this until today.I wanted love and affection from him for so long without knowing what that was supposed to feel or look like. But now that I am a mother myself, I don't understand how he could ever treat his pup the way he did. It dawned on me when he spoke poorly of my child. Elias was an infant and didn't deserve the hate tha
CHAPTER 72 TWIST OF EVENTSTEDDY'S P.O.VThe remainder of the dinner went smoothly, none dared to speak. I preferred it that way, their voices irritated me anyway.Once Fenris and I retired to the room for the night he began to make a pallet on the ground in the room. As much as I respected what he was doing, I couldn't allow him to sleep on the ground."You can sleep on the bed." I then said as I laid a sleeping Elias in his playpen."Then where are you going to sleep?" He asked, concerned."In the bed." I said as I pulled the blankets back."Do you mean to sleep together?""Yes Fenris, it's not like we've never shared a bed. Just keep your hands to yourself." I said as I climbed in. He quickly jumped from the ground grabbing his pillow and dove right in. I switched the light off and grabbed the extra pillow shoving it between the two of us."Apillow barrier, really?" He then asked with a chuckle."Yes really. So that you know your side and I know mine. Don't cross the pillow." I gr
CHAPTER 73 INTERVIEWTEDDY'S P.O.VFredrick took a seat as I chose a seat furthest away from what was just occuring at the desk."You're not going to sit at the desk like a boss?" He asked questionably."I don't need a desk to be a boss." I stated, although that was not the reason I had chosen to not sit near it."Okay, so what's the process for these kinds of things? I never heard of interviews for consideration of the position before.""This is the new way. So many times have we had Alpha's take over whose personalities should not be in a leadership role. Not always will an interview help determine that. Some Alpha's take longer to really show their true colors. But this way will help us weed out the plain rotten ones.""I'm rotten." Fredrick said, looking to the ground."That's what we will try to determine with this interview." "Why even waste your time with this interview? You already know me." He said before his eyes connected with my own."I know a part of you, yes, but not wh
