A feeling of relief washed over me the moment I heard his voice. Finally Kayden was safe, I didn't need to hold on anymore.

"Your majesty, this human snuck into your house and I'm getting rid of her." Liliana said with a victorious smile on her face, as if she had won the lottery.

One minute he was standing by the door way, the next minute he was kneeling beside me. Kayden used his nose to push my head to the side and I tried to smile to reassure him that I was okay, everything was fine. He whimpered and I knew that was a wolves way of crying.

"Claire can you hear me?" Jacobi asked worriedly

"I'm... I'm okay. You need to get....Kayden out of here" I said

"Stop talking, I'm gonna take you to a doctor" he said

He knelt down and picked me up in his arms, bridal style. Kayden then shifted into his human form and that was when I saw the tears that were streaming down his face.

"Mommy" he cried

"Mommy's gonna be okay Kayden" Jacobi reassured him and I felt grateful that he said that.

"Beatrice come take him to his room" he ordered and Beatrice did as she was told without making a sound

"I don't wanna go I wanna stay with mommy" he cried

"With all due respect your majesty, I don't understand what the fuck is going on here" Liliana asked in disbelief

"You should be thanking the heavens that I'm not ripping your throat out right now!" Jacobi yelled at her using a commanding voice that made my blood run cold. If I had thought alpha Duncan's alpha voice was scary then this was a hundred times worst.

"Y...your majesty, I don't understand" she said

"Oh you'll understand. Get the fuck out of here before I do something that I am dying to do right now"

The look of utter fear in her eyes was something I hadn't expected her to be able to feel. She ran out like a scared puppy who was ready to shit it's pants.

"It's okay Claire. You're gonna be just fine." He said to me and for some reason that I couldn't explain, I firmly believed that everything was fine. Even though I was never going to admit it, I felt safe in his arms. Like the whole world could be ending but I'll still be okay kind of safe.

I snuggled closer into him, taking in his scent that made my stomach turn into a zoo. I closed my eyes and took a breath of relief.

*******

When I finally opened my eyes I wasn't in Jacobi's arms anymore. I was in a room, a hospital room. My throat felt so dry like I had been living in the Sahara desert. Memories of what happened earlier came flooding in to my head, making me dizzy as I sat up.

"Kayden?" I called out for my son

"Your majesty you need to rest" a woman's voice came from behind me

"Who are you? Where am I?" I asked looking around me

"Your in the royal hospital and I'm Dr. Fiona" she said.

"how long was I unconscious?" I said with a groan

"Two days your majesty. You had a pretty severe head injury and it was only a miracle that you're alive" she said

I could have died? Oh my god! What would have happened to Kayden then? Where is he, I need to see him.

"Where is my son?" I asked her

"Your son?" She asked

"Yes my son" I repeated

"His royal majesty didn't bring him" she replied nervously. Did she think that I was lieing?.

Why is everyone finding it so hard to believe that I gave birth to Kayden!

"I'll inform his majesty that you are awake" she said before walking out and closing the door behind her.

A few minutes later she walked back in with Jacobi behind her.

"How are you feeling Claire?" He asked me worriedly. I was a little bit surprised by how much he seemed to worry about me, we had only been in each other's company not more than twenty four hours and he already seemed to be showing more concern than my family ever did my entire life.

"I feel good. I need to see Kayden, where is our son?" I asked him

Fiona gasped the moment I said our son. I ignored her and looked at Jacobi for an answer

"He's okay, he really misses you" he said with a smile on his face. It seemed so strange to see him smile but yet it suited him. The way his soft lips parted to let his pearly whit teeth show somehow, made him seem more handsome and less intimidating.

"You should smile more often" I said catching myself off guard.

He raised an eyebrow in surprise " really?" He looked at me in a certain way that made me think of the night we had first met. When we were busy tangled in each other's arms. I felt a blush slowly creep up my cheeks and I looked away.

"Fiona how soon can she be discharged" Jacobi asked

"She could be discharged right now if you would like your majesty" she said with a bow.

"Then get her discharged" he said. He handed me a duffel bag that I hadn't noticed he was holding.

"Get changed, we're going home"

Home? I like the sound of that. Maybe this thing between me and him could actually work after all.

    I went to the bathroom to change and I opened the duffel bag to see a red floral dress and under wear.Did he pick these out himself? Even the under wear?. I put them on and they were all surprisingly my size. How did he know my size so well? "I'm ready" I announced as I walked out of the bathroom. The look I'm his eyes when he saw me, made me feel a certain way. He ran his eyes all over my body, stripping me naked with his eyes."You're so beautiful" he said almost breathlessly"Thank you" I blushed. I cleared my throat " let's go"It turns out the royal hospital was only five minutes away from Jacobi's mansion. We got to his house and I didn't even wait for him to get out of the car before I rushed into his mansion to see my son."Kayden!" I called out"Mommy!" He squealed happily as he ran to meet me. I carried him in my arms as I swung him around."My baby boy, God I've missed you so much" I said with so much joy ""I missed you more" he said"I'm here now okay and I'm not going

    I was In the kitchen making lunch for Kayden while Beatrice sat down on the kitchen stool with a scowl on her face. She had wanted to cook for us but I told her to sit down and let me do the cooking. She didn't like it because according to her ' she would be equivalent to a table' if I didn't let her help me, but I ignored her completely."Your majesty please let me help" Beatrice pleaded with a sad look on her face."Beatrice you need to relax, No one is going to kill you if you let me do this. Besides, I love cooking" I said with a wink"His royal majesty might kill me or worse fire me" she said with so much seriousness that I wanted to laugh at how ridiculous it seemed. Since when did getting fired become way worse than getting killed."That's just ridiculous bea" I said using her nickname.She pouted like a child and I laughed in amusement. Talk about being a workaholic.I finished making lunch and served it on the table. Kayden squealed happily as I gave him a huge plate of foo

    Jacobi had made it clear earlier that there was no room for debate, but I couldn't deny the knot I felt in my stomach. I was afraid of how things would look like if it went badly, but I was trying not to think about that."Jacobi would keep both of us safe" I whispered to my reflection in the mirror. I couldn't explain why or how, but I somehow trust him. It was hard to place my finger on the feeling, but I knew in my gut that if he says I'm safe then I'm safe.There was an annual gathering for all pack leaders, Jacobi said I would make my introduction there. The party will be filled with high ranking wolves and I would be the only human.I heard a loud knock at the door and I quickly opened it."Come in" I said, moving to the side so that they could come in"I am ava, your artist" she said with a flair " and this is Jean, my assistant" she made a gesture to the blonde man by her side. He smiled shyly at me and pushed his glasses higher on his face.Ava layed several dresses on the be

    The ride to the party was a quiet one. We sat in the backseat of his rolls Royce phantom, the only thing separating us was the armrest in the middle of the backseat.My nerves were on edge. I tried to bite back the need to bite my perfectly manicured nails. Don't get me wrong! This wasn't my first time out in public gatherings, but it was my first time doing so in the wolf world. I had spent five years hiding away from them, like shadow. But now here I was, about to be the centre of attention.I stole a glance at Jacobi, and I was startled to see that he was watching me. His right hand was resting calmly on the window, with his thumb lightly grazing his lower lip. A strand of his dark hair had come undone from the slicked back hairstyle he had adorned a while ago. The light from the moon casted a sort of glow that made him more surreal. He was majestically beautiful. Those were the words I could describe him with.Our eyes met, and once again I was sucked into those endless dark orbs

    "Oh" he bowed slightly and I did thesame "it's a pleasure to meet you Miss Claire smith""Like wise" I said. Jacobi removed his hand from my waist and I felt a little bit dejected. He handed me a glass of champagne he had taken from a waiter walking by."Your majesty!" I drew in a steady breath immediately as I heard the sound of her voice. How could I forget.Liliana walked forward with a sort of feral grace that made it clear that she was no prey. Her confidence gaining everyone's attention. She was beautiful, I'd have to say.She wore a purple dress that hugged every curve of her body like a second skin. Her hips sashaying with every step she took. She bowed her head "Your majesty I thought you wouldn't make it" she said, rubbing her hand against Jacobi's arm. He gently pushed her hand away in a casual way, that wouldn't draw too much attention. If she felt embarrassed or hurt by his action, she didn't show it."I decided last minute" he said with a stoic expression.Three more

    Liliana took a long sip of her drink. Throwing her head back as she gulped down everything in one go."Slow down Lils, that's like you're seventh glass" Marcus chastised, trying to prevent her from taking another glass from a waiter."It's none of your goddamn business" she said, her words slurring a little. Do wolves get drunk or is this mixed with something?I stared at my own glass and contemplated drinking it or not."I googled you" she said with a glare."What?" I replied in surprise "I. Googled. You" she replied sharply " and you won't believe the vile things I found about your sorry ass" a wicked grin was spreading across her face, making my heart beat even faster.My throat went dry. All colour slowly draining from my face. The things online were not true but yet I still felt like I had been caught in a crime.It had been five years. Five years since I left that life behind.

    The ride back to Jacobi's mansion was more silent than the one to the party. There was a bit of tension in the air, with him still fuming with rage and me feeling like shit. So much for announcing me to the wolf world. I scoffed.We got to the mansion and despite the fact I was now living here, it was still a breathtaking site to behold."Claire wait" Jacobi called out, his palm gently but firmly holding my wrist. I was about opening the car door and stepping out."What is it?" I asked, my eyes searching his handsome face for an answer.He gently let my wrist go, putting his hand into the breast pocket of his suit as he brought out a tiny velvet box. He handed it to me.My slender fingers curled around the box as I took it from his palm. I hesitantly opened it and an audible gasp left my lips the moment I saw what was inside.It was a ring made with an emerald stone in the middle. I held it up with my fingers as it glowed brighter in the moonlight."It's gorgeous" I whispered without
