CHAPTER 85 CLEAN-UPTEDDY'S P.O.VI couldn't help but think about his earlier statement while walking to my room to get cleaned up. Old High School girlfriend. How many girlfriends were there before me? I know he only fucked Lydia, but I never once thought about petty relationships that he may have had within the Kingdom. How many girls were here that he at least dated that think they may have a shot with him now that his mate still hasn't taken her role? Was I worried? But if I was, why? I was the one that was purposely choosing to not be with him or be his Queen so why does the thought of someone else being at his side irritate me?'Because he is only ours!' Gemma roared.'That's not fair of me to want my cake and eat it too. I can't choose to not be with him then get mad at the possibility of someone else taking that role.' I replied truthfully, making Gemma growl at my response. But it was the truth.As I walked into the room, Imagen was laying on the bed with Elias. She was playi
CHAPTER 86 INVITATIONSFENRIS'S P.O.VI wasn't sure what a 1940s ball would even consist of, but watching Teddy get to work on writing down ideas for what she would like to see was amusing.She sat at the table with the folder writing down all she needed for decorations. Her eyes were glued to the paper in front of her while her tongue barely stuck out from her lips, while she super fixated on what she was writing. Such a cute way of showing how focused she was on her task."So, first and foremost we need to get the invitations made and sent out, like yesterday." She said as her eyes looked up to meet my own."Okay, that's a simple task. I can do that." I said confidently."Absolutely not. They have to be perfect. The wrong print could ruin the idea for what we want."I wasn't even sure what that meant. It was just written on a paper, but she seemed to think it needed to be a certain color, certain dont, and to match our theme. Hell if it were up to me, I'd send out an email. Easy pea
CHAPTER 87 MERGING REALITYTEDDY'S P.O.VI wanted everything to be perfect, but I felt this overwhelming feeling of doubt, that my ideas were worthless. How could I measure up to all the previous Winter Balls over the years? I had seen pictures in the old history books, I just wasn't confident that my ideas were nearly as good as any of them. But I was determined.I had managed to get every invite stamped with our official signatures and the Kingdom seal stamp before putting them in the envelopes and placing the waxed seal to the back. It took forever with having so much to do, but in the end it was well worth it. We got them to the post office in time for them to be mailed off as top priority. Now that that's done, the more intense planning would be going down. However, that was all we would do for the night since it was starting to get dark."Tomorrow, we need all the servers and assistants the Kingdom pays to be here around 6am so we can start giving out tasks." I said to Fenris as
CHAPTER 88 PLANNING THE BALLTEDDY'S P.O.VI was exhausted from not having any real sleep. Being in a dream like that is basically like being awake in the NREM stage of sleep. In other words, it means you get no rest. Which meant today I was on autopilot. I wasn't in the game like I wanted. My mind couldn't stop thinking about the dream."Luna Queen, is there something you would like me to do?" Asmall petite girl asked, taking me out of my thoughts."Sorry dear, what is it that you normally do for the Kingdom so I can put you on the right task?" I asked, feeling a sense of guilt for not knowing them all like I should."This is Lacey, she works mostly in the kitchen." Fenris said, surprising me that he knew the answer."Well, how about you think of some ideas for foods that match the theme of the ball?" I asked, knowing I would also be thinking of food myself, just to be safe."Absolutely!" Lacey chirped excitedly. "You seem a bit off, are you sure you don't need to go see Erin?" Fenr
CHAPTER 89 WHO IS THAT?FENRIS'S P.O.VAfter a tireless two weeks of planning, it was finally coming to an end. It was rough, I won't lie. We were all exhausted and my staff deserved the night off after the hard work they put into helping us with such a big task.When Teddy arrived she looked surprised to see the ballroom completely decorated. When she retired for the night, we had the decorations on the stage but nothing done. Me and my staff worked all night to get the ballroom done. A token of my gratitude for Teddy's help, without her and the staff, this could not be possible."Holy crap. This took all night." She said in awe.I looked around at all the hard work we did, happy with the results. We went with tall tables so the guests would have to stand and mingle rather than sit and not. We of course accommodated chairs off to the side, but overall the idea was to mingle. The tables were covered with long white table cloths with light blue lights underneath. Each table had a glass
CHAPTER 90 ALPHAINTERVIEWSFENRIS'S P.O.VShe didn't let me explain anything. The remainder of the preparation for the interviews was awkward. Everytime I tried to talk, her eyes would light up in her fiery red, warning me. I don't understand women's minds. She was angry at a dream as if any of us had control over what we dream about.That however didn't just feel like a normal dream, it felt real. I could physically feel Lydia's fear. I didn't truthfully care if she died but I was however curious what it was she knew that he needed so badly.Today was the day of the Alpha interviews. I knew Teddy would rock it, but then again I could sense how angry she still was, which may reflect in the interview process.If she would only allow me to explain myself, she would understand. Hell, she has dreams she has no control over. How can she be mad at me? What if her abilities were affecting me too because we were fated mates?When I walked into the office, Teddy was already sitting at the desk
CHAPTER 91 FORGIVENESSTEDDY'S P.O.VNow that the interviews were done, the ball was the next big event. Once the ball comes to an end, then we can begin to really prepare for what's coming. We had already been researching dates and having the Kingdom train with different skills so that we were as prepared as we could be. But it just didn't feel like enough. We really needed to figure out how to get more information. What little I have managed to see, wasn't nearly enough.As I sat in front of the mirror looking at my reflection I looked over to the place I was hit in my last dream. I was terrified of that happening again. But if he could hurt me, does that mean I could also hurt him? If that were the case then I needed to be ready even in my sleep for a potential battle. How the fuck does one even prepare for such a thing?My bedroom door swung open and closed with a slam, pulling me instantly from my thoughts. I looked over to see Imagen leaned against the now closed door. Her eyes
CHAPTER 92 WALKING IN AWINTER WONDERLAND GALATEDDY'S P.O.VOnce we pulled away, both of us were breathless. He mirrored what I assumed my face looked like. Surprised. Like I said, I've been so hot and cold. This was our first kiss since before he rejected me and I gave no warning before I attacked his face."I'm sorry, I shouldn't... -" I began to say before he pulled me in for another, cutting me off mid-sentence.Once our blissful moment ended, clapping sounded from behind us."It's about damn time." Amasculine voice echoed from behind.We turned to see Tanner approaching us with a smile. Fenris's face immediately looked confused. Which made sense, I hadn't exactly shown him that Tanner and I were so not into one another. I actually did the complete opposite. I used every chance with Tanner to make Fenris angry and jealous. Immature, I know."I was beginning to think I would die before y'all made up." He then said, making me giggle a little. "And who do we have here?" I asked, loo
