Everyone else started raising their feet, and I was about to do so when Reagan pulled me back down."You are not among those that will stand up for them.""Oh," I said, and I sat back down.Kingsley led her to the center, then left her there and walked up to where we sat.She bowed for everyone, then faced the crowd so they could bow for her."Come closer, so I can take a good look at you," he said.Kelly walked closer to him. He stood up from his seat."What is your name, beautiful?" King Victor announced"Kelly Pitt, My King.""What a beautiful name! She is so beautiful, isn't she Elizabeth?""She is, just like Alix. All my daughters-in-law are beautiful."I was so surprised that she was complimenting me; it was so unlike Queen Elizabeth. King Victor was also surprised because I could see it on his face."What has gotten into her?" I whispered to Reagan."Shhh," Regan shushed me."Alix dear, Isn't the new addition to our family beautiful?"My mouth opened, but I quickly closed it. "
Rosette's POV contd."Yes, Grandmaster, The plan is working; I met with her today in the market. She was very interested in the talk," Rosette said on the phone."Good, I hope you did not lay it all on her immediately." The person on the line said:She shook her as if the person could see her. "I did push and pull just like you told me; I just told her the basics, then Brian's call came in and I left, but she took my number though, and she looked very interested.""She should be but do not do any rush thing. Always consult me before you do anything. Do you understand?""Yes, I do understand.""Did you get the situation with Brian under control?""Of course, grandmaster. The gathering for the Alphas and high-ranking Lycans is today, right?""Yes, didn't your mate tell you?"She chuckled, "Who's mate? But yes, he did. He left before dawn to go help. That is why I am alone.""So why are you asking?""Just to remind you that Alpha Stephen will have another pair of eyes on t
"What?" he asked, looking confused."I know you love me and I love you. I know you do not mind if we never have children, but it will kill me watching you share my bad fate when you could just have a baby with Ana. If she agrees"He did not answer me; he just kept looking at me."Did you even hear me?" I said because this was not the reaction I expected.He nodded and closed his eyes. I tapped him."Like seriously, did you not hear me? I just suggested something, and instead of you answering, you are going back to sleep?""What will you have me say—that I will do that or I will think of it? Do you even love me?"I nodded. "Of course. Why do you think I am even suggesting this?""Because if you love me, you would not suggest that I go sleeping with a woman that I do not love, not to talk of asking me to mate with her.""I am not asking you to mate with her because I love it; I am asking you to do that for your own and whole Lycans good. We can not even make love probably without Your L
"Tell me what?""A big new thing happened. So where're you?""We decided to spend time together at one of their houses on the outskirts of the pack and give you guys time to do your thing."She made a funny face, then scooped some eggs into her mouth."What?" I asked."From the dark circles in your eye and everything, I think that was his excuse to get you alone and ravish you."I sighed, "How is your mind in the gutter, everything we are talking about something?"She waved it off. "Ok, swear that I am not right that he did not ravish you a lot."I rolled my eyes. "I would have you know that the getaway was my idea.""It does not matter; what matters is how quickly he agreed and how fast he tore your cloth from your body," she said while demonstrating it."Kelly, you are impossible, and yes, we did f*ck. Now tell the big news?"She shook her head, "Oh that... um... I just said that so you would share where you are with me; unless you want me to tell you how fast Kingsley tore my cloth
Regan's povHe stood up from the chair and strengthened himself. He has spent the last three hours preparing for the meeting, from making sure that security is in check when we are in the meeting so nothing happens to our women to reviewing the topics to be discussed.He grabbed a few papers, then left his office, heading to the hall, when Reagan saw his father going towards the hall with his brother beside him. The large hall was a bit far from where everyone lived and where the rest of the people lived because his father did not want anyone to start snooping around or asking people questions.Why is he going? He has not been to one of these meetings in a long time.King Victor is supposed to be the one heading the meetings, but for the last five years, he has been absent, giving him that job, and spends that time fishing alone, but this time he is going, not alone but with Kingsley, whom he has just decided to put back into the family's business. Reagan did
"Reagan, I was waiting for you," she said, pouting.He moved closer and stooped down in front of her, "I went to get your water; take small sips from it," he said, trying to get her to drink it, but she pushed it off."No, I do not want water; I just want to practice something they said at the party.""What is that?" he asked.She started to laugh, then slapped his chest."Eish, get your mind out of the gutter.""What?" Reagan said he was confused. "I was only asking you what you meant when...""Shhh," she said with her finger pressed over his mouth."Now back to the topic: I need to take off this shirt to show you what I mean." She said and tried to stand up, but she fell back down on the bed."What is wrong with my leg? Am I dying?" She said it sadly."No, no, just drink; you will be fine tomorrow if you take this water.""Ok, hand me the water then," she said, then extended her hand. He handed her the water and guided her as she took a few sips from it. He dropped it on the nightst
"Alix, Alix" someone kept tapping me.When I opened my eyes, Reagan was standing over me."Come and eat; it is almost time for the pack's training."I groaned, "I want to sleep more; I feel so tired."He started pulling me up while laughing, "Sorry, but you cannot sleep anymore. We have to get going.""Nooooo, can't you just not make an excuse for me? Tell them that I am sick and I have a headache. I do have a headache, so that will not be lying.""Sorry, but I cannot do that; they saw you last night so they will know that you are lying."I sat up and pushed him away, then took a big sip from the hot tea he dropped beside me on the bed."What kind of exercise are we supposed to do?""For women, your workout is different from ours; it's you guys doing what you want, and with the fact that the queen is exhausted, the head warrior will always look at that and make your training short.""For the first time in my life, I am thankful for someone underestimating women.""Give me a sec; let m
Rosette pov"Rosette, could I drop by your house so we could talk about what you told me the other day?""Of course, drop by in the evening; Brian would be out by then," she said, pretending to be watching Brian, who was fighting.Ana stormed off, cursing as she ran away from the gym.Rosette smiled and then turned to Brian, who was tapping her."Hey, are you done?" she said, forcing a smile. She was getting good at faking things."Yes, I think Reagan broke my rib," he said, kissing her head."Where?" She said that and pressed his ribs.He pushed her hand off. "Ouch, that hurts like hell.""Sorry, I was just trying to see where it hurts, so I know if I should make you an herb.""Oh, do not worry, it does not hurt that much that it will require an herb, but I know what will make me feel good," he said, spanking her ass.She was not in the mood for this. She did not know why she had to endure all this humiliation of saying yes to things even though she did not want
Epilogue Alix Pov"Bye, Zara," I waved at one of the nurses."Bye, Princess," she waved back.I work in the hospital now, and though I did not do much work, I was one of the directors just like I was in my father's hospital.Baby Zack has grown so much now that he is crawling; the same is with baby Drizzle, and they are over at the grandparent's house for the day. Ashlynn also gave birth to a son and named him Kish after his grandfather.Kelly and Kingsley are at the cabin, enjoying their getaway that will only last for today because they will be back tomorrow. Reagan was in his office, and the last time I checked, he was still busy.It was already six in the evening, and I could not wait to be home and soak in the tub.My phone beeped, and it was a message from Reagan.I am home, and I made dinner. Come, let's make magic.He could just have mind-linked me, I thought, but I headed home anyway.When I opened the main door and ent
"You guys wasted much more time than I thought you would, but I guess that's thanks to Alix for knowing how to tempt you, Prince Reagan." The seer said, then pointed at the seat.Hot color blasted on my cheeks because when we woke up this morning and finished breakfast, Reagan wanted to leave immediately, but I cajoled him to a quickie before we came here."These places seem so clean, Merida," Reagan answered, then sat down before pulling me too.She smiled and said, "I cleaned it up because I knew you would be here today. I also did it to save some of my glasses."Reagan smiled. "I know. Your place is never this clean. Alix meets Merida. Merida, this is Alix, my mate.""Good morning, Merida, I am Alix. I wanted to ask you some questions about some things," I said with a smile."You mean some questions about the vision you had yesterday?"I nodded, stunned, then she burst into a loud laugh."You look stunned that I know about some flimsy vision. Don't be so surprised; I see everything
I held my head because it felt like it was breaking into two. I tried to mind-link Reagan, but it felt like something had taken control of my mind.I felt trapped in my head until I was not feeling my body anymore. Instead, it felt like I was in the clouds."I like the necklace, the portrait, the note, and the flower. I love everything." I heard a voice, and when I looked closely, it was my father, Kish Stone, and my mother.He kissed her. "You do not know how happy that makes me. I look forward to these stolen moments, and I wish I could introduce you to my family and my pack.She smiled and said, "Me too, but we can't. Being here with you is already a big risk. I take many measures to be here, so we do not get attacked. My kind has been hunted for ages, so bringing me to your pack will put you guys in danger."He placed his head on her chest and said, "I know, but I would love to show my mate to everyone."She laid on her back and clutched his head. "Me too."He moved over to her, a
Six months after"Wake up, Alix," I heard Reagan whisper in my ear.I wanted to groan and then sit up, but I decided against it. I turned, then pretended to be still sleeping."You are such a bad actor," he whispered, then slapped my ass gently.I turned and rolled my eyes at him. He smiled, then leaned down to kiss me and then my stomach."How is our peanut?"As if on cue, he started kicking.I grabbed his hand and placed it on my stomach."Your peanut is kicking like he is on a football field."He chuckled. "As he should."I grabbed a pillow and hit him on the head. "I don't blame you. Maybe you should try carrying him for some minutes."He grabbed the pillow from me and placed it on the bed before kissing my nose and lips. He pulled away before I could deepen the kiss and stood up.He pulled off his top and opened the drawer to grab another one."We made breakfast. Come have some before it gets cold." He said then put the top on, but I had another thing o
Three days after"It's time to pour the sand into the grave by his loved ones. Mrs. Stone, please step forward.""No, no, I do not want to. How can fate be so cruel?" she shouted in anguish. Queen Elizabeth pulled her closer and started leading her to the grave while whispering soothing words to her.The dam in my own eyes broke; I could not believe that Zacky was dead, and he died to save me. Watching his mate cry broke my heart, and as I cried too, I was feeling very faint, if it wasn't for Reagan holding me, I was not sure that I would still be standing.I wish I could turn back the hand of time; I wish I could not rush into that kitchen to eat; I wish I stayed awake to talk him out of coming to save me. Now his child would be fatherless because of me."His family members should step forward too."Reagan carried me to the grave and helped me pour sand inside, then led me back.After the funeral, which was at midnight pack, the king and many Alpha's started le
She shook her head. "I did not see the person's face, but someone was shot.""More reason I should come; I do not want anything to happen to my sister."I stood up and said, "Look, I do not have time for this. Stay with your mate and take care of her. I will bring Alix back. So we can thank you properly because you just saved me once again."I kissed Ashlynn's hand, then mindlinked two guards outside to go in and lead them to my parents' house.When I got outside, Brian, Kingsley, and ten of our men that they had selected were waiting.Kingsley moved closer to me and asked, "Did you find her?""Yes, but why are you here? Should you not be with Kelly?"He shrugged. "She commanded me to go and save her sister; besides, she is at father's house, and Mario is also with them."I nodded, but then I remembered, "What about Dean?""No one has seen him. Maybe he was kidnapped too."I nodded. They must have kidnapped Dean, because I was wondering how they got the password into our first storage
Reagan's pov"Reagan, remember to give me the files before you go to bed." My brother told me, then led his wife away.I nodded, then watched them both go to their seats. After the last incident and everything, I was getting closer to my brother again. Although I try to be careful while dealing with him, he has not betrayed us again with his deals, as I ensured to look through them all.I guess the last time was kind of a one-time f*ckup, and he was looking forward to the future with his mate, who is pregnant with a child, as I was with Alix.I looked around to see my late, but she was not beside me. I tried to mind-link her, but I couldn't. I looked for her around the room, but I could not see her anywhere. And for some reason, I felt so uneasy.I went to where Kelly was sitting and showed Kingsley something that was on her phone."Excuse me?" I whispered, and they raised their faces."Have you seen Alix since we entered together, or did the Queen send her som
"Who is my love with the heart emoji that you cut his call off?"She smiled and said, "Just a boy I met in Paris when I went for a show. Nothing serious."Kelly scoffed. "Please, it has to be something serious, or you will not be posting his name with the heart emoji. Or is his d*ck so good that it has made you fall in love immediately?"Amelia laughed, then whispered, "Maybe it is like Kingsley's own."You should have written my eternity in his name if his d*ck game is as good as my mate," Kelly chipped in."Maybe I should have," she said, and they both started laughing."You both are crazy," I said, and I started to eat my food.Kelly gave me the side eye. "Trying to act like I do not hear you screaming almost night, Damn Maybe we should do a foursome, me, you, and Reagan. What do you think?""I think you should shut your mouth," I said sweetly, and she hissed."Joy killer, always shitting on people's awesome ideas," she said, then turned to Amelia."He has money, right?""Yup, and
Alix Pov One month later.Ughhh, I feel like a whale." I groaned and tried to stand up like before, but I couldn't because of the baby in my stomach. Even though I was just three weeks pregnant, I barely had any energy these days.When I looked at the wall clock, it was almost noon, and I hadn't gone to fit my dress. I had promised Kelly and Amelia that I would meet them there about an hour ago and not fall asleep.But it was not my fault; it was Mini Reagan's fault. He liked to make me dizzy, and I felt weak all the time. He also makes me tear like a water pot, and that was how Queen Elizabeth found out that I was pregnant before Reagan perceived my scent changing and took me to the hospital.Kelly is pregnant too; we found out at the same time, but she was a bit more energetic than I was and loved to dress up. She spent so much time doing it than she ordinarily used to do before. The seer told us that her baby was a girl, which is
