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

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

"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

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

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

The next morning, she woke in Julien's bed, curled up next to her mate. Lacey watched him sleep, enjoying the peaceful look on his beatific face. Then he opened an eye, giving her a cocky grin. "Morning.""Morning." She laid her head in the crook of his arm, enjoying waking up to the sight of this powerful, beautiful man. "How did you sleep?""Like a baby." Then he rolled over and kissed her neck, and whispered into her ear, "How about you?""Good." Then she sat up, pulling the sheets around her. "The attack was kind of like a hit and run. Wasn't it?" Lacey raised an eyebrow."Exactly." He bit his lower lip, moving her hair away from her neck and planted a kiss there. "Must we talk business… now?""I've been thinking about something.""Of course you have." He plopped back down onto the pillow, pulling the other one over his face and groaned.Lacey laughed. Not being deterred, she took the pillow away. "Julien, now that we're married, I can help run the pack."He rolled his eyes. "Lacey

When she arrived in the practice ring, a few shifters were already there, sparing in their human forms. Watching Car standing off to the side, talking to another shifter, Lacey had mixed emotions about her. Why would Scar stand up for her to Julien? Was it for Lacey's benefit, or for her own? But Lacey figured that the truth would come out eventually. "Yeah, you should have seen me during the attack!" Scar said to the other shifter. "I scared off those Wildclaws! Once they saw my moves, they headed for the hills!"The shifter she was talking to just listened but said nothing, obviously afraid of her. "Oh, yeah?" Lacey said, slipping on her MMA fighting gloves. "During the attack when I was fighting alongside the Alpha, I didn't see you at all.""You probably just didn't see me," Scar interjected.Lacey shook her head, smiling. "I don't think so." When she was ready, she walked into the practice ring, barefoot, and ready to work off some steam. "You mind?" She was asking the shifters
Last Updated : 2022-04-15The Alpha's Companion Chapter 41: Negotiation
After Scar left, Lacey spent the rest of the afternoon working with the Pack Warriors on strategy, coordinating them, teaching them to work together. Just before the sun started fading from the sky, Julien came out and stood to the side, watching the warriors practice. After a while, he said, "Lacey, may I have a word?"Lacey looked up and nodded. "Yes, of course." Then she turned to the pack. "Okay. That's enough for today. Let's call it a day, but we'll start again first thing in the morning.""Yes, Alpha Queen." Some headed toward the forest to hunt, while others headed toward the castle. However, there was a camaraderie that wasn't there before."Good practice," Raye said to Lacey, and then nodded. "See you tomorrow." Then he nodded toward Julien. "Alpha."Julien nodded, giving him a slight smile as he passed.When they were alone, Lacey phased and dressed in her workout clothes. Then she zipped up her bag and headed over to Julien. Lacey leaned over and gave him a peck on the lips

The Alpha's Companion Chapter 100: Soul Mates
One Year Later...."Ready?" Lacey's mother asked, smiling proudly as she looked into Lacey's eyes. After the war Between the Packs, Lacey had offered to let her mother stay with her, but now that Camari was truly free to do as she pleased, she had decided to become a member of The Shadow Pack, Arkin's pack. Lacey was glad that her mother and Arkin had found one another again... after all these years. And it was strange. Thorn and Camari had been worried about the other dying if one left, but standing before her now, Camari was no worse for wear. Lacey guessed that it was because the Mating Bond between them had already faded years ago. There had been too much water under the bridge between them before he had passed.But Lacey pushed the thought aside, determined not to let anyone ruin this day. Lacey nodded. "Yes. I'm ready."One corner of Camari's lips curled into a smile. "Well, then. You shouldn't keep your Mate waiting."Lacey headed through the living room, dressed in a full-leng
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 99: The Alpha Queen's Guard
Later that night after the Alphas and her family had either left the castle or had retired for the night, Lacey prepared herself for the talk with her mother about Thorn's and Lynessa's deaths."Would you like me to go with you?" Julien asked as they ascended the stairs. Lacey shook her head. "No. I just want to get this over with."Julien pulled her to a stop at the top of their stairwell and placed his hands on her shoulders, looking into her eyes. "Lacey, it couldn't be helped. They attacked you. Remember that." Then he let out a deep breath. "If you hadn't fought them, then they would have killed you. It was self-defense."Lacey nodded. "Yes, I know. But it doesn't make it any easier."Julien nodded, understanding. "Let me know if you need me."But then she pulled him close. "Julien, I'm proud of you tonight. You are a wonderful Alpha Supreme. You not only think about your pack, but the whole Tribe, as well."He raised his eyebrows. "You mean, our pack."Lacey smiled as she nodded
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 98: Family, Part 2
Lacey sighed, thinking. "Julien, I'll be honest with you."He rubbed his thumb across the top of her hand. "Yes, please do."Lacey nodded, and then looked into his eyes. "Roth was horrible to me while we were growing up. Not only him, but all my siblings with Thorn and my mother. You already know that." She bit her upper lip and then released it. "But I don't think that a year is too much to ask to prove his allegiance to you, and to me." She placed a hand atop his, holding his hand. "A year would be plenty of time to show his allegiance and his loyalty. Then after a year, if he proves unworthy, then you can strip him of his title." Lacey patted his hand, looking into his eyes. "Give him a chance. I think he'll make a strong, loyal Alpha if given the chance to do so. Especially now that Thorn is gone."Julien nodded and then kissed her hand, too. "You are a wise woman, and to you, like our subjects, I also pledge my fealty." Then he gave her a long, lingering kiss as he placed his hand
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 97: Family, Part 1
"Thanks for staying to speak with me," Julien said to Roth, Arkin, Seth, and Chris after the other Alphas had left. Lacey stayed, too. Since the battle, Julien had been including her on all pack decisions, and they had been running The Harvest Moon Pack together as a team. They had truly become partners, with mutual respect.Julien let out a deep breath taking his seat. "I didn't want the other Alpha's to know, so I decided to do this privately." Then he looked over at Roth. "Roth, I know that you didn't make the decision to stand with the rogue wolves and Rex against me." Clearly, Julien was giving him the benefit of the doubt. "Thorn did that. But now you have the chance to do the right thing."Roth leaned forward, folding his hands on the table. "And how do you propose I do that?"Julien sighed, and then looked into his eyes. "You need to step down as Alpha of The Silver Moon Pack."Roth nodded. "Alpha Grey, I understand your position, but this is my birthright." He sighed. "I was
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 96: The Alpha's Pack Council
About a week later, after everything had settled down, Julien called the very first council meeting of all the packs in the area. And it was mandatory that all Alphas attend. Julien hosted it in the smaller dining area adorned with Julien's paintings. Although it was much smaller than the grand dining hall, it would be big enough for this meeting. Lacey had ensured that a meal was properly prepared for the meeting and all packs were given a room if they chose to stay overnight. When Eric and Seth walked in with Arkin, they both shook Julien's hand as he and Lacey greeted the Alphas and pack leaders at the door."Julien, I'm so glad you did this," Arkin said, looking around at all the different factions. "It's about time we all start working together.""Precisely," Julien agreed. "I truly appreciate you coming. There's some things I'd like to discuss with you.""Sounds good," Arkin said. "Whatever you need."Julien nodded and then turned to greet the other Alphas coming in behind them
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 95: Aftermath
Lacey waited inside the compound along with the rest of The Harvest Moon Pack, all weary from the battle. "Anyone in need of medical attention, go immediately to the infirmary!" "Aye!" the entire pack yelled in unison. Robes had been handed out as they walked in, taking their human forms, along with bottled water."Let me take a look at that." Misty stood at the door and checked a shifter's arm as he came in. "You. Go to the infirmary." Then she stopped three young shifters. "You three look exhausted. Are you hurt?""No, ma'am," the three said in unison. Misty nodded. "Good. Then go upstairs to take a bath and get some rest. Food will be served in the dining hall soon.""Yes, Ma'am." Then the three of them headed up the stairs.Misty spent her time directing the others instead of taking care of herself. "Julien!" Lacey yelled when he came walking through the door. He was bloody, but appeared to be no worse for wear. "Let's get you to the infirmary.""It's you who needs to go." He l
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 94: Brother Against Brother
Rex paced like a caged animal, ready to strike. At first, Julien wished he could talk to Rex in their wolf forms. But they couldn't, since they were no longer from the same pack. But it was just as well. Long ago, they had already everything that needed to be said. And it had done no good. This fight was inevitable and a long time coming.Julien waited for Rex to make the first move. But he had gone through too much, sacrificed too much to lose to Rex. He wanted everything… power, money, his pack… even his wife. And Lacey was the one thing that Julien would never give up. The war was won and the Wildclaws and The Silver Pack subdued, but this battle was far from over. Julien knew that a war had been raging in Rex for a long time and wouldn't be quelled.Suddenly, Rex jumped at Julien, but he ducked, flipping him over his back. He landed hard on the cold stairs, crumbling under his weight.Julien stepped on his throat, holding him down, hesitating. Julien didn't want to have to kill Rex
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 93: War
Although Lacey couldn't hear Rex, she didn't need to. She knew exactly what he had come for. Exactly what he wanted. "Julien!" Lacey yelled in the Pack Mind. "I need you over here! Now!" "I'm a little busy at the moment, but I'm on my way!" In the background, she heard the keening of a wolf and then a crunch as the scream cut off abruptly.Lacey sighed as Rex took a step closer. "It's Rex.""On my way!" She could hear Julien's footfalls in the background of the Pack Mind. Lacey stood her ground just outside of the glass double doors of the castle. "Young warriors, stand tall! Steady! Do not let them breach… no matter what!""Aye!" They all took their fighting stances, willing to fight to the death if it was asked of them. Lacey hoped she didn't have to. Rex took a purposeful step onto the bottom stair, his eyes trained on Lacey, licking his lips as one side of his mouth curled into a sinister smile.Lacey took her fighting stance, a low, guttural growl erupting from deep within her
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 92: Scar
In a short time, Lacey ran onto the grounds of The Harvest Moon Pack, along with Julien and The Shadow Pack. As wolves fought viciously in the clearing, it was clear they were under attack. Lacey took down two Wildclaws but saw that members of The Silver Pack were there, too. Lacey hated to have to fight her family, but if they knowingly stood against her and her pack, then she couldn't just stand by and let it happen. At that moment, she resigned herself to take down whoever she had to and answer questions later. She was just glad that her mother wasn't here to see this. To the right, Koi was fighting a shifter and was losing.Lacey grabbed the Wildclaw from behind and threw it across the practice field. "Get inside and guard the castle!" Lacey yelled to him."Aye, aye, My Alpha Queen!" Koi yelled, making a run for the castle. Lacey was glad that he hadn't argued with her. Then she remembered that her post was also inside the castle, so she ran across the lawn toward the castle, pre
