"Alix" Kelly screamed, then pulled me into a hug."I finally have a mate, the moon goddess finally decided to send him my way", she whispered in my ear."Congratulations, baby girl," I said to her."Thanks, but you do not seem happy. Did you and your mate fight?"I scoffed. "Why would you think that?""Because your face was not like this a few minutes ago, and you are frowning now.""I am not frowning, and we just had a disagreement over something, so it's no big deal.""I would be worried if I were you. Things with Reagan are never a small deal. I am an example of that," Stephen cut in."Sure, are you also an example of a do not backstab your brother situation?" I asked, getting annoyed that he was trying to put everything on his brother.Anybody would get mad if your family member tried to backstab you; besides, the Reagan, I know, does not escalate little things."Alix" Kelly warned."What? Your mate started it first. His brother is not badmouthing him, so he should do the same to
Reagan's povOnce I was out of the house, I regretted what I said to her, my brother has always been a sore subject for me, but that does not excuse the way I talked to her.Although I was tired of the way she took her friend's side in everything and made up my mind to tell her about it, I never wanted to shout at her or call her selfish. Whenever the topic was Kingsley, I tended to see red.I always told myself that I would forgive his betrayal, but I always acted otherwise when he was brought up.Speaking of that, why is he here and moving back into the house? I do not know what my father was playing at, but I did find it funny. Was he not supposed to come to the meeting next tomorrow? So why is he here earlier?, and why did Father want me to come home without stopping anywhere at all?Unless maybe he wants to prepare him for his new role, and now that his mate is here, it would be very easy.The last few days have been amazing, from Alix coming to find me
Kingsley and Kelly were smiling and laughing while going into their room.I had a big frown on my face while walking into ours.He was sitting at the edge of the bed brushing his hair, clad in only his briefs. He was wet and looked like he just got out of the shower, but I was not in the mood to admire him.I walked past him, then went to the wardrobe. I picked out a dress, my shoe, and shoes set of earrings and necklaces I wanted to wear.I opened my zipper, then wore out my clothes before I put a wrapper on when I turned to him.He was looking at me like this was the first time he was seeing me, but I ignored it anyway and hurried into the shower. I locked it, in case he gets any crazy, like joining me.When I was out of the shower, he was already dressed and putting on his shoes. While I was putting on my dress, I decided to talk to him."Look, I know you do not want to talk to me, but I am sorry if I ever sounded selfish. Also about Kelly, I am sorry for always taking her side; I
The rest of the dinner went on without almost any hitch, and the only one was when Kingsley and Reagan almost got into an argument. When we were nibbling on the chocolate cake that was served as a dessert, paired with sweet port wine, Victor and Reagan were whispering something while Kingsley was listening.Elizabeth asked Kingsley, "Have you told your mate that she will be shown to the court just like Alix, tomorrow? Then she will be assigned duties as one of us?"He shook his head. "I must have forgotten."Kelly's eyes widened. "Tomorrow? But isn't it too close? Can't we keep it till tomorrow?""There is a meeting tomorrow," I answered."No dear, Everyone must be shown to the court if you want people to regard you as one of us. If you are not shown to the court, then you will be the one to greet all the elders, and no one will respect what you say unless your mate is there. But as soon as you are shown to the court, your words carry weight, and you can issue commands. I have not se
I slept the next morning because I was really tired, and that was courtesy of Kelly, who kept screaming all night long. Kingsley had the stamina of a monster, and with Kelly's encouragement, he kept riding her like a bull.When I opened my eyes, the draperies were closed, but I knew that it was no longer early morning. I looked at the clock, and it was some minutes after nine, I sat up from the bed and laid my head on the head of the bed when the door opened.Reagan was carrying breakfast, wearing only a brief. He dropped the breakfast on the side table, and he kissed me, but I pushed his mouth off."I haven't brushed, and I did not brush last night before I slept."He scoffed, then pulled my head closer again and gave me a thorough kiss, which I surrendered myself to before he pulled away."I made you breakfast," he said."Thanks, but let me brush, and then I will eat it," I said and stood up.He went to the wardrobe and opened it. "Okay, but I won't be here when you come back from t
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
