The Alpha's Companion Chapter 31: Camari
The next two days passed in a whirl, between the fitting for the gown and overseeing the last-minute arrangements, Lacey didn't have much time for anything. Then the day came when her family was to arrive, the day before the wedding. Lacey had tried to tell Julien that she was Thorn Taregan's stepdaughter and not his blood, but they were both so busy that there wasn't time."Julien, I have to tell you something before they get here," Lacey said, standing beside him in the foyer, awaiting the arrival of her family."Okay." Julien looked down at her, raising an eyebrow. "What is it?"Then everything happened at once. The Silver Pack limos pulled up and Julien pushed through the door with Lacey following. As she saw her pack getting out of the limos, their fowl treatment, disrespect, and contempt for her came rushing back. But Lacey had changed, and she wasn't going to let her family treat her badly or hijack her wedding."Lacey," her stepfather, Thorn, nodded as he passed without a seco
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 32: Secret
After leaving her mother and seeing Scar, Lacey headed to her room to dress for dinner. She quickly bathed and dressed in a long, purple gown that fell over her body like water. This was the last night before she and Julien were to marry. Lacey just hoped that her family behaved themselves. But if they caused any trouble at all, she would have them thrown out.But then again, her family may not be the ones to cause trouble. Scar had overheard her conversation with her mother earlier, and it was clear that she had heard enough to bury her. If Julien heard it from Scar, he'd never believe that she was of royal blood.No, Lacey's best chance, her only chance with Julien, was to tell him herself. When she was ready, Lacey hurried down the five flights of stairs and Julien was standing outside the dining hall."Julien, I have to talk to you—""Can it wait?" he asked, smiling. "Both of our packs are waiting for us.""No, it can't—""Tell me inside." Julien gave her a cocky grin. "I'm eager
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 33: Who Has Your Heart?
Julien pulled her up the stairs as tears streamed down her cheeks. But Lacey said nothing. What could she say that would make this right? But instead of turning toward the left when they reached the fifth floor, he led her toward the right. She had no idea where he was taking her, but he said nothing on the way, obviously feeling hurt and betrayed. Lacey nearly fell over when they stopped in front of his room. Julien opened the door and inside was a suite of rooms, all luxuriously done. He took her to the living room and stood her by the sofa."Sit," Julien ordered, and then walked away.Lacey did as he asked and then buried her face in her hands but said nothing. Julien came back a moment later and nudged her. When she looked up, he held a glass out to her. "Here. Drink this. It'll help you to relax."Lacey reached for it and, for a split second, wondered if it was poison. But then again, if he were going to kill her, he'd do it with his bare hands, not with poison. He crossed the r
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 34: The Next Morning
When Lacey woke the next morning, the events from the night before came rushing back—her family making fools of themselves, her sister's jealousy. Then Julien believing her and telling her that she had his heart. She smiled at the memory.Lacey sat up and then fell back down onto the pillows, grateful that the wedding wasn't until that evening. At least she would have all day to get ready."Good morning, Princess!" Gwen stepped into the room, carrying a tray, amused when she saw that Lacey was still in bed."Good morning but go away." Lacey closed her eyes and pulled the pillow over her head, needing more sleep. After the events of the night before and thinking about the wedding today, she couldn't sleep half the night.Gwen chuckled. "Here." Lacey opened her eyes and Gwen handed her a glass of orange juice. "Drink this. It'll make you feel better. It'll replenish your electrolytes and hydrate you at the same time."Lacey took a sip and sighed. It felt cool going down. "Thank you.""Yo
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 35: The Wedding
Lacey spent the rest of the day preparing for the wedding. Lacey was glad that Julien had understood and helped her through her family's betrayal. Her only regret was that her mother wouldn't be present. But than again, Lacey understood why.Knock! Knock! Knock! "Come in!" Lacey yelled, with only a few short hours to go until the wedding, her nerves were starting to get the best of her. "Is the bride here?" Madame Pomeroy walked in with an assistant with a long, blonde ponytail, heavily done makeup, and wearing a business dress suit, carrying a garment bag draped over both arms."Madame Pomeroy," Lacey rose from her seat and gave her air kisses over both cheeks. "It's a pleasure to see you again." Then she looked over at the garment bag. "Is this it?"The woman nodded. "Yes, this is your wedding dress."Then she proceeded to instruct her assistant to take it out of the bag. When she unzipped the bag and held it up, it was the most beautiful dress that Lacey had ever seen."Oh! Madame
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 36: Wild Reception
"Attention, everyone!" One of Julien's men made an announcement in the hallway. "Please join Mr. and Mrs. Julien Grey in the garden for the reception. Thank you.""Shall we?" Julien asked, offering her his arm, having never felt happier in his life.Lacey nodded, slipping her arm in his, and he began to escort her out. "Julien, you have my heart, too." Then he remembered having told her that the night before, and his heart leapt.He looked down at her and placed his hand over hers on his arm. The photographer snapped a picture as they walked out into the garden.Julien smiled and dipped her again, giving her another kiss when the photographer snapped another picture. But before he let her up, he looked into her eyes. "I love you, Mrs. Grey."He let her up just as Rock, one of his men, announced over the loudspeaker, "May I announce the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Julien Grey, our Alpha and Alpha Queen!" Rock shouted. Julian led her to the dance floor, set up in the middle of the garden, f
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 37: Is She Safe?
After Lacey was safely inside, Julien and the rest of the Harvest Moon Pack checked to make sure that the rogues had fled. And through it all, he noticed that everyone had pulled their weight.Scar walked purposefully out of the castle in her human form, assessing the damage, dressed in a pack robe that one of the maids must have given her. "Report," Julien said."Well, it looks like there were no casualties on either side," Scarlett said. "But there's damage to the south wall and other parts of the perimeter. The castle is still intact."Julien nodded. "Thank you for following orders, Scarlett.""It was my honor, Alpha.""Go ahead and help with cleanup."Scarlett nodded once. "May I say something… as a friend?" Julien nodded once. "Make it quick.""Don't be too hard on Lacey," Scarlett said. "She was doing what she thought was her job." Then Scarlett turned and headed toward Rock to start on cleanup, as ordered.With that, Julien headed into the castle to check on Lacey. He walked t
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 38: The Alpha's Mate
As instructed, Lacey had the staff move her things into the spare room in Julien's suite, and she spent the afternoon organizing everything. Madame Pomeroy had also brought a lot of the wardrobe to the wedding that she had shown Lacey. Luckily, there was a double closet for her to put everything in, and her new bedroom was much bigger. Between the wardrobe Julien had bought her at Aurora and now the clothes from Madame Pomeroy, Lacey had more clothes and shoes than she knew what to do with. She also had a private bathroom off her new bedroom. After everything was organized, she took a shower and dressed in a casual outfit and waited for Julien. It was their wedding night, after all.While she was waiting, Lacey had the unsettling urge to want to help with the cleanup and the possible interrogation of any Wildclaws that were caught. But from what she saw, it was more of a hit and run. The Wildclaws came in long enough to wreak havoc and then left just as quickly. It was strange. Why wo
