As he reached for his crying mate, he immediately engulfed her in his embrace."I'm here, i'm here." he chanted.nobody dared enter the master room but they were all on the edge of doing so."You'e fine and safe angel." he whispered in her ear trying to comfort her.Wren cried silently, holding her mate for dear life as she shook in terror."Come on, maybe this will help you." he spoke smiling at her as he kissed her forehead.Zanthus took her between his arms helping her stand on her feet, he would've carried her out but he didn't want to make her more uncomfortable than she already is. The Alpha King helped his mate towards the living room of their wing, she looked anxious at the sight of many people yet she tried to calm down, she needed all of them now, they were HER family.She sat next to her mate looking down at her lap as more tears ran down her cheeks, she was frustrated and hated the fact that she can't restrain her weeping.They all focused on her presence, sympathy and an
It has been few days now since the incident.Wren struggled with nightmares, every time she has to face what she lived once again and her biggest fear was unfolding in her dreams giving her traumatic nights. Zanthus tried his best to make her forget about what happened and move on however all his attempts were futile, until he made his decision about it...The young Luna sat in front of the fireplace hugging her knees to her chest when Sunny informed her that his majesty asked for her and that Beta Sam is in front of the door."Do you know why he asked for me?" Wren spoke asking a focused Beta while her omegas walked behind her."I'm not sure Luna, you'll find out soon." he spoke trying to comfort her...Wren went in after earning permission and bowed gracefully in front of her mate, "You called for me!" she whispered looking at him cautiously."I did, come closer mate." he spoke encouragingly, ushering her to sit on the couch while he stood up from his desk to do the same.Sittin
Sitting on the couch facing the fireplace Wren put her head on his strong thigh, she looked at the flames and compared them to the chaos she had inside her mind, she questioned her luck and her existence. The young Luna felt lost and hurt."What did i say now!" spoke an annoyed King.Wren looked up at him as he played with her hair "What!!" she exclaimed curiously."Stop thinking about it, you're putting your mind into too much with all of this overthinking." he warned.Wren sighed before responding, " i can't help it." she shrugged."You can, you have a mate a position and a new family to think about, leave the past in the past for you can never change it and live the moment before it becomes past." he advised kissing her hand.Wren looked at the ceiling thinking about his words, they were deep indeed and she had to get them in her mind."I don't think i can handle seeing the memories but i really want to remember their faces." she cried again to which Zanthus made her sit on his lap
Sam didn't wait a second to go deal with the issue at hand, they have neglected the issue for far too long because of the kidnapping incident then the fake parents. Now it's time to deal with the minx.Dungeons, that's his destination. Going straight to the maids' cell he got in right after the guard unlocked the door."What do we have here?" he smirked sadistically.The female omegas scurried away, the Beta was indeed a scary man not as much as the king but he was nevertheless."You have one chance to tell me who spread the rumors or else you're all dying publicly today." he spoke sternly looking at each one of them in the eyes.They looked tired and weak as they didn't serve the food properly for several days, not were they provided enough water, Beta Sam knew that the omegas have an idea on who the minx is however they still didn't say a word."You know we have a saying that Royals can never break their word, means if you're not talking right in this instant you will all be lead to
It was late already, snow all over the place and darkness reigning on the forest.Wren got ready for bed and so did Zanthus."You should talk to your grandparents before they leave, i can smell their sadness." spoke King Zanthus while getting on the bed."I know, i have to.. I'm just not ready but i will eventually.""I know you are not but they're leaving in couple of days don't forget that." he informed her."I will talk to them tomorrow your majesty." she responded getting between the sheets."Good." he commented shortly."Your majesty!" she called for him"Yes kitten!""Can we have a private breakfast tomorrow and invite them over?" she asked looking at him"Sure, whatever you want." he spoke getting her closer to him to which she gasped as he caught her off guard...It didn't take her long to fall asleep between her mate's arms, it felt peaceful and secure, a feeling she wouldn't trade with anything..."Are you ready?" asked the King."Yes!" she whispered.Hearing her answer,
"Sit down." ordered the King, he looked amused for a second but immediately hid it under his intimidating stare. They bowed down and obeyed his order, while sitting Wren noticed that Queen Eleanor had a smile on her face which made her smile herself until someone spoke. "You know that your positions won't save you from the punishment of breaking rules." spoke Ethan's mother glaring at Wren. "Right your majesty?" she added asking the Alpha King. "You are right, are you suggesting i should punish these three for showing up now?" he looked straight in her eyes making her immediately show her neck in submission. Wren looked at Rebecca gulping nervously. "W.. We didn't mean it, and it's the first time happening." argued Wren looking innocently at her mate. "If you do it once you do it twice, we can't break the rules." spoke Ethan's mother making her son look at her questioningly. "If someone does it and goes off unpunished everyone can do it then." added another member which made Wr
Dinner was smooth compared to lunch, they all ate in silence intimidated by the king's aura.Walking towards their wing, Wren got confused."Aren't we meeting my grandparents and your parents?" she asked looking up at him while still walking hand in hand."We are princess, we'll meet them in our wing." informed the king."why? let's meet somewhere else please." she looked at him innocently giving him the puppy eyes."Where for example?" he questioned stopping in the hallway."Like... the library? the gardens? i saw that you have many huge beautiful living rooms so one of them?""Isn't our wing more comfortable baby girl?" he questioned."I'm tired of always being there your majesty, a change of sceneries perhaps?" she whined, giving a small smile at last for her excuse."Alright, i don't see a problem, let's go to one of the living rooms then, i'll inform them.""thank you!" she smiled cheerfully.Petting her hair, Zanthus changed their destination. Hand in hand they walked towards on
Wren looked up at her mate as he hugged her petite figure to his chest, "Your majesty, what happened to the fake parents?" she asked out of the blue."Why are you suddenly thinking about them?" he questioned with a raised eyebrow."I'm just curious." she responded sheepishly."What happened to them shouldn't be your concern kitten." he spoke in a serious tone."But i'm the victim, i at least have the right to know what happened." argued a stubborn Wren."If i wanted you to know what happened to them i would've made you witness it, now let's not dampen our mood, shall we!""This is unfair." she whined turning away from him so that her back faced him now."What's unfair, me protecting my female?""Not that, it's just i'm always kept between these walls, i know nothing about what's happening in this castle, and you always try to shield me from everything for how long will i have to depend on you?" she muttered in a low voice as her left hand reached for the silk pillow inches away from
