Jennifer's POV"This is my Mate and your Queen Jennifer," Lucien and everyone's eyes were on me; Lucien said "Hello, Queen Jennifer. My name is West, and I am one of the leaders of the Werewolf Council. We have been wanting to meet you since King Lucien told us he had found his Mate," West said with a smile. "Hello," I replied. West greeted Debra, Tom, and Josh, and then we all sat at the table. Everyone's eyes stayed on me most while we sat at the table."We have something we woudl like to discuss with you. We were wondering when you were planning on swearing Queen Jennifer so she can truly take her place as Queen. Also, you would need to have your Marking and Mating Ceremony as well," West asked, causing everyone to become quiet. "I have been talking to Queen Jennifer about the swearing-in ceremony. We were planning on doing that at the end of the month once my mom has finished training her," Lucien said"That is great news," West said"There is one other thing I would like to as
Jennifer's POV"I don't care about tradition. Queen Jennifer and I will be changing that tradition because, as I already told you, no one will be watching me and my Mate have sex," Lucien growled. Everyone looked at him, but no one dared to say anything. There was nothing they could say that would make him change his mind."Yes, my King," West said after a moment breaking the silence. "Now, if you would excuse us, Your Queen and I have somewhere we have to be," Lucien said"Of course. Thanks for your time," West said, and we left the room and headed to the Limo."Lucien, you know it is tradition for the King and Queen to Mark and Mate each other in front of witnesses," Debra said once we were in the Limo."Mom, I don't want to talk about this," Lucien said"Well, you have no choice, young man. It is a tradition that has been going on since the beginning of time. It is important that you keep with the traditions," Debra replied. It was funny to me seeing Debra scowl at Lucien like he
Jennifer's POVLucien's mom was happy when we told her the news that we were going to have a Marking Ceremony. The whole ride to the Orphanage, she wouldn't stop telling us how excited she was that we would be fully mated soon. I wished we didn't have to wait until the end of the month to become Fully Mated. I knew many Mates had sex before marking each other, but something told me Lucien wanted to wait until our ceremony. In a way, I also wanted to wait, but another part of me wanted to feel him inside of me.Once we arrived at the, two women were waiting outside for us."Hello, Queen Debra, Queen Jennifer, and King Lucien. I wasn't expecting you to come, King Lucien. The children will be thrilled you are here. I am Maria, the Head lady at the Orphanage," Maria said"Hello, Maria. It is nice to meet you," I said. Maria was a tall lady who looked to be in her late early forties. She seemed like a nice lady with a warm smile. She had on a tan suit with tan heels. Her hair was styled i
Jennifer's POV (Trigger warning)There are so many cruel people in this world. I knew it and had been a victim of them many times. But I had never seen anything like what was in front of me. The woman who had made Poppy leave the gym earlier had a belt in her hand. Poppy was lying on a bed with her hands and legs chained to her bed naked. I could see blood coming from her legs where the woman had struck her with the belt numerous times. The worst part was that two older men were standing by the wall with only their boxers on waiting. Everyone looked at me with shocked expressions when I walked into the room.I stood there, shocked at the sight in front of me. I was lost for words and didn't know what to say. I could feel tears coming in my eyes seeing Poppy in that situation. "What the fuck is going on?" I heard Lucien growl as he pulled me behind him. The men ran out of the room, trying to escape the punishment they knew Lucien would give them, but two of the warriors grabbed them
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
