Lucien's POV"Whatever. I am going back to the Packhouse," Jennifer said, and she walked away."Jennifer," I called after her, but she ignored me and kept walking towards the Castle. I felt terrible because I didn't mean to make her upset. I had just been stressed since I found out that Lucy was planning to hurt Jennifer. I knew I should have told her what I had learned yesterday, but I didn't want to stress her out more than she already was."Hey, I saw Queen Jennifer walking to the Packhouse, looking pissed. Is everything alright?" Tom asked"No. I fucked up and hurt her feelings. Now she thinks I see her as weak," I replied"What happened?" Tom asked, and I told him how everything that happened at training. I told him how I was more aggressive with her than I normally was and how she got upset because I kept knocking her down."I fucked up, man. Now she thinks I think she is weak, which I don't. I just want her to be able to protect herself. Especially now that I know, Lucy is pla
Jennifer's POV I couldn't believe Lucien thought I was weak. Just when I was starting to feel like I was getting stronger and would make a good Queen, I found out my own Mate thinks I am weak. "Hey, sweetheart? Are you done with training already?" I heard Debra ask as I walked into the castle."Hello, yes, Lucien and I got done early," I replied. Debra looked at me for a moment with a worried look on her face."Are you okay, Jennifer? You seem to be upset about something. Did my son do something that made you mad?" Debra asked"No. I am just tired from waking up so early," I replied with a smile, trying to prove to her that everything was okay. Debra returned the smile with one of her own before speaking."I was wondering if you would like to go with me to the orphanage tomorrow. It would be good for you to start learning all the Queen's duties now. The sooner you learn them, the sooner you can take over fully as Queen. The Pack already sees you as their Queen," Debra said. I knew s
Jenn's POV"I promise I had no idea this girl was your Mate, King Lucien. I would never hurt the Queen. Lucy never told me who she was when she asked me to get rid of her," Don said. Lucien was looking at him with darkened eyes. I knew his wolf was at the surface and wanted to kill Rogue."I never told him to do anything to your Mate, King Lucien. I walked over here and saw them together," Lucy lied, and Lucien's eyes immediately went to her. He was looking at her with so much hatred."I know the truth, Lucy. I saw everything. I heard everything. Guards take them to a cell," Lucien said, and the Guards took them away. Lucien, Tom, Josh, and I walked back to the school. Stacy and Chelsea were standing outside the front of the school."Jenn, what happened? Are you alright?" Stacy asked as she walked up to me."Yeah," I replied"She is lying to you, King Lucien. She wants me out of the picture," Lucy screamed as the guards put her in the car. Students from Royal High were staring at her
Lucien's POVAs I made it to the Rogue Territory, which was a little past the Royal Pack border, I could see many of my Pack Members standing close to the Border of our Territory. I was sure they were wondering why I had called them there. I had told some of the warriors to stand guard to make sure the Rogues knew not to cause any trouble with any of the Pack Members. I looked around to make sure there were no little children around to see what I was about to do. I had told Josh and Tom to make sure everyone knew not to bring their children. All of the Pack Members were talking amongst themselves. I was sure they were wondering what was going on. The guards were holding onto Lucy while she screamed about how she didn't deserve to be there, which is another reason why everyone was whispering to each other."Silence," I said, causing everyone to become quiet and look at me. The only one that was still talking was Lucy."King Lucien, please, you have to listen to me. I haven't done any
Lucien's POVEveryone was staring at me, and I was sure my eyes were dark as ever as I looked back at my Pack Members. "I brought you here because Lucy tried to hurt my Mate and your Queen. It is important that everyone knows that won't be tolerated. If any of you try to hurt my Mate, your Queen, in any way, You will be punished." "Lucy isn't the only one that has been dealt with. I also had to take care of the Rogue she hired to kill Queen Jennifer. I pulled his heart out of his chest and then beheaded him."Josh and Tom started a fire, and one of the guards took the Rogue's head out of a bag that I had placed it in and threw it into the fire. Then he did the same with the Rogue's body. Another guard threw Lucy's body and then her head into the fire."Because of what they did to their Queen, Neither of them deserves a proper burial. I will say this one last time if any of you mistreat my Mate, you will be punished. If you try to harm her, you will be killed immediately. If any of y
Lucien's POVTom, Josh, and I headed to the Packhouse and headed. I had some Packs I needed to get a hold of and also needed to make sure Stephen and Steven to make sure everything went smoothly with Kelly. I also had some Packs I needed to talk to that were planning on going to war with each other. I was trying to find a way to keep the peace. There had been too many wars with Packs since before I took over as King. Before I could call Stephen, my mom stomped into my office."Please tell me that the rumors are not true? Tell me you didn't behead Lucy in front of the Pack," My mom said. I didn't think she woudl find out so soon. It hadn't even been an hour since it happened."Mom. I did what I had to. She wasn't going to stop messing with Jennifer if I didn't," I replied, and my mom let out a sigh."I know you did what you had to, but did you have to do it in front of everyone? What if any of the pups saw you do that? They would be terrified of you," My mom said"I made sure none of t
Jennifer's POV"You had good reason to kill them, Lucien. I wish there were another way, but deep down, I know there wasn't. You are right. Lucy would have kept coming after me if you didn't stop her. I don't even think making her a Rogue would have stopped her from trying to kill me. You made the right decision, Lucien, and I am not mad at you," I said truthfully, and I could see how relieved Lucien was by my words. "You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that, Little One. I thought you would think I was a monster," Lucien said. I felt terrible knowing he thought I would see him as a monster because of what he did to Lucy, but I knew he had no other choice. "You could never be a monster. Yes, I hate violence, but I know there are times when it is unavoidable. I know what can happen after seeing what my sister went through with her Mates and their exes. I feel special knowing you would do anything to keep me safe. I only hope nothing like this has to happen again," I said
Jennifer's POVLucien, Debra, and I made it to the food court and were sitting at the table eating. "You seem to have loved buying all of those things for the children, Jennifer," Debra said"Yeah, I was so happy to be able to do that, and I can't wait to get to the shoe store to pick them out some shoes. I am happy you asked if I would like to go with you to the Orphanage. I have always wanted to help children that are in situations like this," I replied"Really," Debra asked."Yeah, you know Claire and I were in a situation just like they are in. After our parents were murdered, we were placed in foster care until Sean and Tanya found us, and we moved in with them. I know how hard it can be to live in a place like that," I replied. "It must have been hard being in foster care," Debra said"It was. Most of the children used to bully me. Many people working in foster homes were not good people. They would spend the money on themselves that was supposed to be spent on us. We barely h
