Jennifer's POV"We are here," Tom said, opening the door to a room. It was a decent room with a queen size bed, closet, and tv. "Thank you, Tom," Debra said when she noticed Tom staring at Poppy. "If you need anything, please let me know," Tom said, and Poppy nodded. I didn't miss the blush that came on Poppy's face before Tom left. I would need to talk to Tom and make sure he wasn't planning on playing with Poppy's feelings. I wasn't going to let him or anyone else hurt her. She had already been through a lot. "I am going to check on dinner. I am sure You and Chelsea will help Poppy get settled," Debra said"Yes, we will. Stacy is on her way down to help us," I replied, and Debra left. Stacy showed up about ten minutes later with some clothes for Poppy. We planned on taking her to the mall the following day to get her some clothes. She said she didn't need anything new and was okay with the ones Stacy brought her, but we insisted. I was sure it was because she wasn't used to getti
Jennifer's POV"This is way too much. I don't need this many clothes," Poppy said. We were at the mall and were in Forever 21. Stacy and Chelsea were basically throwing clothes at her to try on. I had never been a fan of shopping, but I was happy they were helping her get a lot of clothes. Lucine, Tom, and Josh were at the food court. Of course, they wouldn't have let Chelsea, Poppy, or me go without them. Tom was the one paying for everything, even though Poppy had no idea. He said it was his job to make sure his Mate had everything she needed. He was going to take care of her and give her the world. I still couldn't believe Tom and Poppy were Mates. I wanted to tell her so badly, but Lucien told me it would be best if Tom were the one that told her. She would probably be overwhelmed if I told her about it, especially since she had just told me the other night she was worried her Mate would reject her after what she had been through, so I told Lucien I wouldn't say anything."Girl,
Jennifer's POV"Wake up, Little One. It's time to get ready for training," Lucien said. I looked up to see Lucien fully dressed and ready for the day. It was still dark outside, and I was tired, but without complaining, I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to shower. It was going to be a long day. It was Monday so after training I would have to go to school. Then, after school, Debra and I were supposed to shop for my dress for my Celebration of when I became the Werewolf Queen. I still couldn't believe that I was going to become Queen two Saturdays from now. I couldn't help but worry that I was going to suck at being Queen. Yes, I had already been acting as Queen, and everyone seemed to think I was doing a good job, but I was still nervous.When I was done showering, I brushed my teeth and hair. Then, I tied my hair in a high ponytail and put on my workout gear: a black sports bra and tights. I made my way out of the bathroom to see Lucien and my bedroom empty. I exited our r
Jennifer's POV"My mom will be here to pick you up today so you can go shopping for your dresses for the Crowing," Lucien said as he walked me up to the door. Tom was walking beside Poppy, and I smiled when I heard her laugh at something he said. They were getting along, and that made me happy."Okay, I will miss you," I said and kissed Lucien softly."I will miss you too, Little One. I will see you when you get back from shopping with my mom. She said I am not allowed to see your dress, so I am not allowed to come. I am also going to call you," Lucien said"Okay, I will answer," I replied. Lucien wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly. Lucien and Tom left after Tom and Poppy watched as he walked away. "You seem to like him," I said, and her cheeks reddened."He is nice. He moved me onto the third floor in a nicer room. It has a walk-in closet and its own bathroom. I am still shocked he moved me to that floor because I thought it was the Beta floor. I hope he isn't up to so
Jennifer's POVLucien and I walked onto our floor to get ready for dinner. I was about to go into the bathroom when Lucien grabbed my hand, causing me to look at him."I missed you, Little One," Lucien said and kissed me softly."I missed you too," I replied after the kiss."I am happy you found your dress," Lucien said"So am I. Your mom made an appointment for us to try cakes tomorrow. You are going to be able to come, right?" I asked, worried he would be busy with Pack stuff."Yes, I wouldn't miss it," Lucien said before entering the bathroom. "How about we shower together?" Lucien added"Okay," I replied and walked into the bathroom with him. Lucien took his clothes off and started the shower. I couldn't help but stare at his God-like body. It wasn't the first time I had seen him naked, but I couldn't get over how perfect his body was. He had a perfect muscular chest, and when I looked down at his manhood, it was standing proud. The sight caused me to lick my lips. I couldn't get
Jennifer's POV"This is my Mate and Queen, Jennifer," Lucien said, and I didn't miss the frown that took over her face for a brief second before she covered it with a fake smile."Hello, I am Alissa," Alissa said, holding her hand out for me to shake. She still had a fake smile on her face. She was about Lucien's age, and I wondered how he knew her and why. They must have been great friends because she called him by his name. I asked if they had a sexual relationship."Jennifer, Alissa is one of my mom's best friend's daughters. She is like a little cousin to me," Lucien said, causing me to relax hearing that he saw her as his cousin."Hello, Alissa," I said, shaking her hand."I am only two months younger than you, so I am not that much younger than you are. I didn't know you found your Mate. Does my mom know?" Alissa asked"I am not sure if my mom told her. Not that I am not happy to see you hear, but what are you doing here?" Lucien asked"I decided to take some time off from colle
Jennifer's POVWhen we arrived at the buffet, we sat at a table big enough to seat all of us. Lucien pulled my seat out for me and sat next to me afterward. I could see Tom trying to sit next to Lucien on his other side, but Alissa quickly sat down. "I hope it is okay if I sit next to my cousin. I haven't seen him in so long," Alissa said, looking at Tom, who only nodded. After everyone got their food, we made small talk. "Lucien, I was hoping you and I could spend some time together. Maybe go out to a movie and dinner so we can catch up while I am here," Alissa said, causing everyone to look at her."Sure, I am sure Jennifer wouldn't mind if we went out to eat and to the movies with you, Right Jennifer?" Lucien asked as he turned to look at me."Of course, I don't mind," I said with a smile, and he smiled back at me."I was thinking maybe the two of us could hang out alone. Like we used to do when we were younger," Alissa said. "Back then, I didn't have a Mate, Alissa. Jennifer wi
Lucien's POV"Come on, Alissa. You have to remember what the she-wolves looked like that were talking about your Queen," I said, annoyed. After dinner, I headed to my office to talk to Alissa. Tom and Josh were also there to get the description of the she-wolves that were saying terrible things about their Queen. Everyone in the Royal Pack seemed happy that Jennifer was their Queen. They could see the improvements she was already making in the Castle and how much she calmed me. Before she had gotten here, I wasn't as patient, and they felt she had changed me for the better. Hearing that members were spreading terrible rumors about my Mate pissed me off. Whoever did it would pay severely. "I don't remember what they look like exactly. All I know is one had blond hair, and the others had brown hair," Alissa said"And what did they say exactly?" Josh asked"That the soon-to-be Queen was a witch that cast a spell on the King to make him believe she was his Mate," Alissa said"And when
