Chapter 1: The Talk

Michael

I was trying to hold off the council to give my brother time telling them that he doesn't want a chosen mate. However, the council thinks that maybe it's a good thing that a hybrid wolf won't be their Fae Queen. Which I find is unfair, they don't know her and there is nothing wrong with species mixing. I reminded them that if they want a true-born heir they will give him time and they agreed, although if they find a Prue-Blooded Fae, they can force him to mate with her and still have an heir, but now is not the time to remind them of that. After the meeting, I went to find Cayden to give him the outcome of the meeting and the decision that was made due to the breakup with his mate, he has been drinking heavily a lot and had added additional women to his harem. I saw our sister Halle who wanted to speak with me about a rumor that I had found my mate, but I didn't want to say anything as it is complicated and I haven't spoken with Drax as yet. "Whoever told you that needs to mind their business, dear sister," and smiled at her, she was beaming as she was with child again and her husband was away on business for Cayden.

I walked her back to her side of the palace before heading to Cayden as he was still asleep, he sleeps a lot more lately as he is depressed over losing his mate, the way he lost his mate can be fatal to us if not for our linked bond, we are stronger than a lot of people think but that doesn't mean we won't die. We can survive a rejection but a force marking while our bond is still intact is fatal, Erik knew what he was doing, he had planned to kill my brother. I entered his bedroom and it was dark so I opened the drapes and saw Jasmine next to him naked but mind-linked her to leave and she got up as my brother was snoring so loudly that I wanted to smack him. "It's Toffe's wedding, you need to get up, Aidan is expecting us," he groan and showed me his naked ass as he dragged himself to the bathroom. I ordered our servants to get him ready quickly, he would actually show up naked if he had his way, but I turned and left to go and get ready myself.

We were in our SUV heading towards the wedding and Cayden looked distant, I said, "Penny for your thoughts, little bro," Cayden looked at me and said, "She hurt me, Michael, I have been waiting for her for so long and this is what I get and unfaithful mate." I said, "Maybe it's not what you think, you should talk to her, maybe there is something we are missing." "Fuck that, she knew what she was doing, she looked right at me and smiled, that vision keeps haunting me every time I closed my eyes, she knew this could have killed me and she still did it, if not for our linked bond and our Royal Blood, I would have died, damn it, I nearly did die in the accident because of her, I will never forgive her for this." I saw that he was hurting so I let it go, he may never get over this and I surely hope we can fix this. I don't think she did this on her own, something was not adding up, I saw the way she looked at him, she was in love and I know the truth, she wasn't the backstabbing bitch she appears to be because he would never be the same if she was.

Cayden

I was at the wedding having a fun old time when I saw her again, that beautiful woman that I love so much, she was with Bradley and I turned away with a bottle of scotch. I saw her dancing with her mother before she walked off and I turned to go to the buffet table as she walked up to me and said, "Please, hear me out." I was dumbfounded but my hurt ego wouldn't let me hear her out and walked off as I didn't know what to say to her before Ty mind-linked me, "Hear her out, Cayden, it's more than what you see," but I didn't want to because that night kept haunting me in my dreams. I barely slept and I just replied, "You ordering me, Gamma," and he said, "Yes." I was shocked; that son of a bitch Alpha commanded me, so I walked to her and said, "Follow me or do you need permission from your husband?"

We entered a room and Ty joined us and I was furious as he smiled at me, Addy was with him as they wanted me to know the truth but she couldn't speak before her nose bled and I felt a pain in my chest. Michael entered the room before Ty linked me and said, "Open your mind and you will see the bigger picture," so I did and watched everything that was in Erik's mind and what he did to us knowing it would kill me if not for Michael. I was furious as I saw the tears in my love's eyes, I was so stupid, I should have known she would never deliberately hurt me, I kissed her and said, "We will find that witch and you will be mine," before she started to hold her chest and said, "You can't touch me, it hurts." I was confused as I told her "No, that son of a bitch is being unfaithful," before I was out the door looking for Bradley.

Bradley

I was in the bathroom in one of the guestrooms before I came out and see this beautiful girl on the bed, she was beautiful and I was about to walk past her before she whisper something, and the next thing I knew, she was on my cock riding me and it felt amazing. Her firm breasts bounced as she rode my cock like there is no tomorrow, I squeezed her nipple as she moans, I wanted to stop but I couldn't, she felt amazing and I closed my eyes feeling the sensation of how good her pussy felt before she was pulled off me by a very angry Fae King, he wanted to kill me as he pulled his golden dagger. Addy and Ty rushed in stopping him before he could end me, I felt weak and my wolf was not answering me, and then I blacked out.

Esmerelda

I sent a young witch to fuck Bradley as I needed what was in his memory and she could distract him while she extract his memories, I needed to find that Dark Witch for Roman as he needed to be stronger ASAP. I want to be Queen and when the time comes, I will kill his Luna Queen and make it look like an accident. I hope no one interferes and I need to put things in place so I can end her when the time comes. I just needed to find a way to make her believe I was a victim and I couldn't really say no to the King. I see the witch being dragged out by Toffe and Michael, "Fuck," she failed, I need to go befriend Lily and see what she knows that can help Roman. Addison is not easy to manipulate as she is a witch but I need to get answers and fast if I want to be the Luna Queen. I saw Ares talking to Kyan and maybe I needed to find out what they were talking about, this could be helpful. I followed them hiding my scent but for some reason, they sounded jumbled, I couldn't understand anything, and then it hit me, he used a spell so no one knew what they were talking about, "Oh, I need to tell Roman about this."
