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 contact of his skin on my skin. I feltelectrified all over, the feeling bringing on another wave of need I had never experienced before."If you cannot hear me, how should you talk to me if you do not see the words leaving mymouth?" He asked. I couldn't sense if it was a gentle or harsh tone, his face giving me noindication as to how he felt. The vibrations from his talking also did not help me. He must havehis expressions under lock and key. I normally can read a person's emotions from their facialexpressions alone. Not being able to read him had me curious, leaving me wanting to figure himout even more. "I.I.I.." I stumbled over my words afraid of how he would react to my voice likeothers before him had. His eyebrows arched up, indicating he wanted to hear my reasoning. Igulped down the pooling saliva in my mouth before I pushed myself to speak once more. "I do notknow sir," I said out loud, praying he didn't make fun of my voice the way so many others haddone. Asmall smile tugged at the corner of his lips before he released my chin and shook hishead. "When we speak, you look at me. Understood?" He said I had this wave hit me of power asif he was demanding. Something that never happened even when my father tried using his Alphatone on me. I never had the urge to obey the tones, even now, which is weird since he was theKing of all werewolves. I guess since I couldn't hear them, it all affected me differently, or maybethe part of having no wolf played a part too. However, this feeling that surged within told me Ishould just submit and nod in respect to the
King, so that was what I did. I bowed my head slightly before I nodded in understanding. I thenquickly looked back up to see if there was anything else he wanted to say. "Good girl." He saidbefore looking to my left at the lady who had brought me here. "Here is my phone, put yournumber in it in case I need you." He said, handing me his cellular device. I looked up to him notknowing how to tell him. I had no such device of my own. "Well, are you going to take it?" "I donot have one, your highness," I said, praying it sounded okay and it came out what I intended. Heshook his head in understanding before putting his phone back in his pocket. He then looked overto the woman who brought me in. "Escort Ms. Teddy to her new room. Once she is settled, youwill help her with anything she may need. From here on, you will be her handmaid, starting now.Dinner is at 7 in the evening sharp. Make sure she is presentable and on time." The woman whosename I still did not know then bowed in respect before turning to me, once again looping my armin her own to lead me away. "Oh, and Imagen?" The King said, making her stop in her tracks tolisten. "She will be the new Queen, treat her as such. Let go of her arm. She is not a dog. Showyour Queen some respect." He said with his face still void of emotion. Something about him thatwas already driving me crazy. The lady whose name I think I read as Imagen, quickly released myarm. Holding on to every word he had said. He then turned away to address his mother onceagain. I felt a very soft tap on my arm. My eyes left his body for the first time since he had mademe look into his eyes. I turned to see Imagen's face staring at me. She looked petrified. "Pleasefollow me, my Queen." She said before turning around to leave the dining hall. I turned backaround to steal one more glance at the King before I quickly fell into step with Imagen. Once weleft the dining hall, we turned down another pass way which eventually led to a set of stairs. Weclimbed them up two flights before we reached the level she needed. She stopped at a door,opening it to reveal the magnificent room. Ahuge white Colossus king bed with a soft pinkbedspread was placed right in the middle of the room. Across the way was a vanity that had allsorts of stuff on it. All in a wrapper and unused. Next to the vanity was a door. I assumed that waseither the adjoining bathroom or a closet. I walked across the room to the glass double doors,peering out to see that it led to a small intimate balcony. Adoor is also out on the balcony. Iwonder what that could be. I turned to face Imagen. She was standing there, not moving. I wavedhello but her eyes shot to the ground. She was so afraid, but surely not of me. I was a nobody. Yes,he addressed me as the future Queen, but I was no real Queen. I lacked the confidence thatLilyanna had. I was just like the woman standing before me. Timid and afraid of my own shadow.I started walking around the room to explore what it offered. I opened the door by the vanity,
revealing a closet. It was already completely stocked with random assortments, tags danglingfrom them still. How did they know my size? Suddenly a question arose: where was all his stuff?
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
CHAPTER 9 FINE DININGTEDDY'S P.O.VHis questions were a sore spot for me, but I wasn't going to shield the truth, especially when it is public knowledge in my pack and is not hard to find out."Why did she die while giving birth?""My cord was wrapped around my throat as I was coming out, something ruptured from the inside from what I was told, and she begged him to save me over her.""Then why would they blame you if it was her request?""My dad wasn't there to command him to save her instead, otherwise I wouldn't be here today. She hemorrhaged because of a rupture that I caused. Therefore, her death was my fault and he made sure to always let me know.""How did they treat you?"I sat and thought about the answer for a moment. Trying to find the correct words to say."It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows nor was it close to a fairytale life. But I had food to eat, clothes to wear, and a roof over my head. So, I can't say my situation was as bad as some may have it."I couldn't seem t
CHAPTER 10 CHOICESFENRIS'S P.O.VThe moans leaving her mouth sent a thrill of excitement through me. Asound that my body reacts to on its own accord. My wolf was on edge, something he had never done before in the presence of a woman. I was glad I had requested the dining hall to be closed to the pack for the night. It not only gave me a chance to speak to her freely without having others hear, but now I see the effect she already had on me and that is also something nobody needed to witness. I would need to control myself better around her, especially in the company of others. The last thing I needed was a weakness. I haven't found a weakness within myself yet and I didn't plan to obtain one now.'Use more of those sexy words, I can smell her, she wants us.' My wolf roared in my head.'Not now, Kingston. This is not the time nor the place.' I tried reasoning with my wolf.'Then when is it the time? I want her, she wants us. Right here, right now should be the time. Here on the table,
CHAPTER 11 REALIZATIONSTEDDY'S P.O.VWe walked hand in hand until we reached my bedroom door. It was a weird feeling holding a man's hand, but it was also electrifying at the same time. Once, we reached my bedroom door. He let go of my hand to reach into his jacket and withdrew a box, handing it to me. I looked down and saw a phone on the box cover."Now we can communicate by texting too." He said with a smile."How do I work it?" I asked. I had never owned a cellphone, so I wouldn't know the first thing about operating it."I have your number stored in my phone. When I text, you can save my info on your phone by hitting the number, info, then save. The rest will come naturally when you play with it, but if you can't figure it out, Imagen can assist, or I can.""Thank you," I said before wrapping my arms around him and pushing my body up against his in a tight embrace.Not even thinking he might not hug people. I could feel his breathing deepen and his muscles flex under his suit, wh
CHAPTER 12 It’s overFENRIS'S P.O.VIf I hadn't been careful, I would have taken her right then and there up against the wall. She was perfect to a default. Her body begged for me. Her smooth legs, rounded ass, her nice breasts popped from the top of her dress. It all screamed to be worshiped. When I ran my hands in her hair it all felt so natural, like second nature. Something I never expected. I keep trying to find anything that isn't attractive about her, but I come up short every single time. Her disability wasn't good for a king to possess, no, but it fits her. It made her more appealing, and I have no clue why or how that was even possible. When I made it back to my room, Lydia was sitting on the edge of my bed with a scowl."Lydia, we've talked about this," I said, rubbing my face out of sexual frustration about walking away from what I wanted and out of pure frustration that I had to repeat myself to her."Come on, you can't be serious?""I am very serious. It wasn't a joking
CHAPTER 13 WANT METEDDY'S P.O.VI decided to get some fresh air with what was swirling around in my mind. I haven't had a moment for myself since the day started. I just needed a moment to breathe, to take it all in. So much has happened in so little time. I took the ridiculous shoes off that I couldn't even walk straight in and made my way to the balcony door. I didn't have a balcony back at home.I quickly put the phone on the nightstand before opening the curtains to the balcony door and going out. As I stepped outside, the cool winter breeze sent a delightful shiver coursing through my body. I started to look around. I first opened the door that was out there, and, to my surprise, it led to a hot tub. I bet that it is nice to sit inside with the door open for the breeze to enter. I will have to try that out soon. I walked over to look over the edge of the railing. I was only two stories up, but it felt much higher. I leaned my head back with my eyes closed, enjoying the fresh air
