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
CHAPTER 93 WHEN THE LAST LEAF FALLSFENRIS'S P.O.VI heard a scream and my eyes immediately shot over to where Teddy was standing. Her head was cocked to the side as she examined the big man child pointing his finger at her accusingly. I made my way over to where my mate was, the Parks a few steps ahead."She did it dad, she did it." He said as his finger waved dramatically in the air.I knew Teddy could handle herself but it wasn't in my blood to sit back and just watch. Asmile crept up on her face when they both were standing directly in front of her."I did what, Aiden?" She asked."IT'S ALPHA." He raged causing a bigger scene."Correct me if I'm wrong Alpha Parks but Aiden is your second born. Correct?" Teddy asked, her eyes now on the older version of Aiden."Yes he is." "Right, which means he is not a true Alpha. Maybe by blood, but he is not entitled to the name Alpha unless he was granted the title. Correct?""That is correct." The older man said softly."So, Mr.Parks as I sa
CHAPTER 94 MERRY CHRISTMASFENRISS P.O.VAfter I returned, the ball was starting to dwindle down. Teddy and I stayed until the very last person left. Some were too intoxicated to drive back so they opted to stay in our guest wing. After they all had retreated for the night, Teddy and I gave out orders to the clean up crew. Which was a different set from our servers, we didn't want to overwork anyone. We then decided to head up to our wing once they started cleaning."Thanks for tonight." Teddy said with a small smile."Anytime." I said as I pulled my wrist up to look at the time."It's 12am. Merry Christmas." I then said."Oh um... Merry Christmas.""I have something for you. Wait here." I said before turning away to grab her gift off the nightstand in my room.When I returned her face looked surprised. "You didn't have to. I didn't get you anything." She said as her smile faded."I don't need anything." I then said as I handed her the gift."You shouldn't have spent any money on me.
CHAPTER 95 TOGETHER AT LASTTEDDY'S P.O.VI couldn't sleep, I only tossed and turned in my empty room. The need grows greater with each passing moment. I knew I wouldn't be able to resist him much longer. I also knew we had a lot to discuss. But for now, words weren't what I needed, physical contact was. I rolled over in bed for the up-teenth time, looking at Mr.Cuddles who laid on the pillow next to me. Still dirty and old, but completely rebuilt as if he was brought back to life.Fuck it. I'm going for it, I thought to myself. We've had enough time with tension building to make ourselves crave one another. Now it's time for us to devour each other's bodies in ways we hadn't had the pleasure of doing.I got up and grabbed my kimono, wrapping it around my naked body loosely. I had one goal in mind and clothes weren't a part of that.I crossed the hall with a new mindset in place. I raised my hand to knock, nerves building in my stomach. I took a deep breath in before courage finally s
