After about an hour of having a conversation with my newly found mother, I start to feel overwhelmed and subconsciously reach for my mates' hand. He automatically realized what was going on and told everyone I needed rest. They said their goodbyes and Gamma Sam said he would show my mother to her room. I said thank you, and they left.

"Thank you for everything," I say to my mate.

"How are you dealing with all of this?" He asked, and I shrugged my shoulders.

"It's a lot. I always thought my parents abandoned me, That they thought I was a mistake, a burden, and worthless," I say. "That's what my ex-mate told me, Or fake mate, as Dosha puts it."

"He was an idiot!" He and Dosha say at the same time, making me burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" He asked, sounding very curious.

"You and Dosha said he was an idiot at the same and I could.t help but laugh. I'm sorry." I said, thinking he would find me laughing at him as rude.

"You have nothing to apologize for, my dear

    Orians' P.O.V. "The King just linked to tell me that we aren't needed tonight," I say to Jessica. "I guess things between them are going smoothly." "I hope he doesn't hurt her." She says as I crawl into the bed beside her. It's my favorite time of the day. To crawl into our bed to cuddle up with my mate. I pull her closer to me, nestling my face into the crook of her neck, and growl low and soft, making her laugh. Goddess, her laugh could drive me crazy. "I'm sure he'll work hard to fix things between them. He really does want to be with Rain." I say. "Every since we were little, all Zion ever wanted was to find his mate. The one that would be his Queen when he took his place as King. Unfortunately, things didn't go the way we planned." "What were y'alls' plans?" Jessica asked while sitting up in the bed and facing me, fully intent on listening to every word. "Usually, at twenty-one years of age, the Prince would be crowned King and take over all roy

    After the doctor leaves, Zion helps me walk over to the walk-in closet. He asks what I would like to wear for our tour around the castle. I'm not really sure, so I shrug my shoulders, and he gives me a questioning look. "I never really had clothes to pick from, and Jess says I don't have a taste for fashion, so I usually just wear whatever she gives me," I say. "Plus, I don't know whose clothes these are." "These are yours. I had the head maid pick some clothes out for you. Are they not your style?" He asks. "I can send someone to pick up something different if you don't like these." "No, no, these are fine. I didn't think these were mine, that's all. I never had much of anything at the orphanage. Jess would always share her clothes with me, but since I was always cleaning, I wouldn't wear them because I didn't want to mess them up." I explain. "Well, now you are the mate of the King and the future Queen of the Southern Kingdom. You will not be cleaning. And you will alwa

  • The Orphaned Queen   Her Ruling

    Zions' P.O.V.After dismissing Orian, Jessica, and Odett, Rain and I headed to my main office for some privacy. During our tour of the castle, I noticed several people listening in on our conversation out of curiosity about the females with us. I didn't scold them, as they would soon find out who the females were. Once we were in my office, I explained why I was cautious about witches and why I didn't make myself known to her. I told her that I knew she was my mate before she woke up after the rogue attack. I explained how I knew I had made a big mistake but was too scared or stubborn, or maybe both, to do anything about it until it was almost too late. I even explained who Ashley was to me and why she attacked her. She never got mad. Rain reacted as if she understood and forgave me. She even waited until I finished explaining everything before she said anything. And then, to my surprise, she only asked one question. "Will you take me to

  • The Orphaned Queen   A Moment Of Peace

    Rains' P.O.V. As we walk back to Zions' office, my thoughts go to my mother. I hope she wasn't upset about me getting overwhelmed yesterday. I wanted to see her this morning, but Zion told me she had an emergency at the coven, and both she and Lady Lana had to leave to handle it. Zion even sent some worriers to assist them. "It's okay. She'll be back soon." Dosha says. "What if something happens and she doesn't make it? There are so many things I want to know. I don't even know what she looks like." I say. "She will be fine. She is the head witch of the strongest coven in the south. Remember?" She argues, and I agree. "Are you okay, my Queen?" Zion asks, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Yes, just thinking about my mother," I answer honestly. "She'll be back soon. If you're that worried about her, you can always call her." Zion says. "I don't have a phone," I say while staring at my feet as we walk to his office. "Speaking of phones

  • The Orphaned Queen   Train me

    Zions' P.O.V. We walked around the training grounds as I explained the different areas and what we use them for. We then make our way out of the training ground and find ourselves at the entrance of the main garden with its beautiful flower-filled archway. I look down to see Rain captivated by the roses and smiling. I linked Orian, telling him to say Odett was awake and that he and Jessica would check on her so Rain and I could have some alone time. "I thought that was what y'all had in your office?" He linked me back with a sarcastic tone, making me roll my eyes at him. "We got interrupted... Remember?" I linked him back, and he laughed. "The nanny linked me to let me know Odett was awake. Jess and I will check on her for you, my Queen.." Orian says, and I nod. "Oh, okay. And Orian." She calls out to him, and he turns to face her. "It's just Rain." "Yes, ma'am." He says with a cocky smile as he takes Jessicas' hand, and they walk back

    Orians' P.O.V. As Jessica and I are walking to the castle's front entrance, I look over at her and see a beautiful smile on her face as we walk by the big fountain in the center of the driveway. I pull her by her wrist to me, and our lips collide. After a passionate kiss, she pulls back and looks up at me. "Odett isn't awake, is she?" Jessica asks. "Nope, The King just wanted a little alone time with his Queen since they were interrupted when they were in his office," I answer, and she laughs. "Then let's take advantage of this time we have together too!" She says with a huge smile on her face. "What do you have in mind, beautiful?" I ask out of curiosity. "A run?" She asks, and I'm all for it. "Sounds great!" I say as we head towards the wood line. Right before we get to the wood line, Sam links me, letting me know that I'm needed urgently in Zions' office. I take a deep breath and look at Jessica. Then linking Sam to let him k

  • The Orphaned Queen   The Puzzle Pieces

    Rains' P.O.V. When I asked what we know about the attack on my mothers' coven, Sam replies, "Not much other than it was rogues, about thirty of them. And it was a surprise attack." And my mind starts going a hundred miles an hour in multiple directions. "That many rogues working together?" I say out loud without realizing it. But what Zion says next starts to pull everything together. "It has to be some kind of rogue army. But why attack a coven instead of a pack?" Zion says, and I think as I tune the rest of their conversation out. "I might be wrong, but I think I know who's behind the attacks," I say after some time thinking about things, and everyone faces me in silence. "What are you thinking, my Queen," Zion asks. "You remember the story of me being kidnaped as a baby that my mom told you about?" I ask Zion, and he nods. "She said they finally discovered it was Alpha Douglas of the Blood Cresent Pack. He wanted more power and war

    After I've told Jess everything that's happened and who I think is behind it all, I sit back while she thinks things through, and I wait for her to say I'm overthinking everything or that I've lost my mind. But she agrees with me. "Your things have been moved into your new room, my Queen." A sweet older lady with silver hair and kind brown eyes says as she bows. "Thank you, what is your name?" I ask. "Clair Jordan, your Highness." She answers. "I am your personal maid and the pups' nanny. Anything you may need, just ask, and it will be done." "We'll thank you very much, Mrs.Clair," I say with a smile as she bows and walks away. "The rescue convoy has arrived, my love," Zion says, and I jump up, ready to go, and so does Jess. "Odett, sweetie, we have to go handle some things. Stay with Mrs.Clair and behave for me, Okay?" I say, and she nods. We give her a hug and kiss before we leave. Then we walk out the door and down the hall to the elevator and press the first-fl

  • The Orphaned Queen   How It Ends

    Rain's P.O.V. Opening my eyes, I look around to find someone has laid me down in our bed next to Zion. He's covered in bruises and has bandages wrapped around his chest and down his left arm. I try to reach over, but I realize my body is sore and stiff, and I can barely move. "Oh, thank Goddess, you're awake." Jess gasps, walking through the door. "How are the pups?" I ask the first thing that crosses my mind. "All three are safe and sleeping. Lady Ezmerelda is in the nursery with the twins, and Odett fell asleep watching a movie with Sam in the living room." She answered while walking over to my side of the bed. "Is Douglas dead?" I ask, slowly starting to remember everything that happened. "You leveled everything in the area. Orian found you unconscious, covered in blood, but he didn't think it was yours. He said it smelled like Douglas and his minions. You didn't even have a scratch on you." She said with a smile, helping me to sit up. "How is everyone?" I ask

    Rain's P.O.V. After recovering from whatever hit me, I turned to see a female who looked so much like Lady Lena that it threw me off. Zion is just as surprised as I am, his face mirroring my surprised expression. Then I realized that the restraints that held Douglas in place were released, letting him recover and stand beside the lookalike as a group of his rogue army stood behind them. "Who the hell are you, and why do you look eerily similar to a dead woman?" Zion asks after he shifts back to his human form and takes his place beside me. "You must be talking about my twin. That foolish bitch refused to leave that weak coven and decided to go against me. She got what was coming to her." She said with a cackel. "I even offered to take her with me after I kidnapped you, but she refused and even tried to fight me. She might have been our parent's favorite, but she was weak, always letting everyone fight her battles for her." "You're

    Zion's P.O.V. After Rain's speech, Mia suggested opening gifts, so Jessica and I helped her up and started walking towards the chair designed like her throne where all the gifts were. Midway through the walk, Rain started feeling some pain and leaned over on me. When I asked if she was okay, she said she was. I knew she wasn't telling me the truth, but I decided to ignore it and keep walking. Unfortunately, she doubled over before we could reach the chair, grabbing her side. I quickly picked her up and noticed liquid running down between her legs as Odett called for her in a panic. I yell for Doctor Jameson, knowing he's here somewhere. He tells me to get her to the suite when he reaches us, but I know he wants her in the makeshift delivery room. I rush through the crowd in a panic, thankful that they made a path for us, and up the stairs to our suite where I lay her down on the bed, only now noticing that our friends followed. Do

  • The Orphaned Queen   Chaotic Birth

    Rain's P.O.V. I stood quietly in the peaceful darkness that I'd become accustomed to and waited patiently, thankfully not feeling any pain. I didn't have to wait long as soon the brilliant silver light erupted, and Dosha and Selene emerged as the light dimmed, and I could feel their warmth radiating off of them. But soon, I notice the grim look on her face, and the peacefulness I had felt melts and gives way to caution. "Hello, my dear daughter," Selene says. "I have come to bring you a warning." "A warning about what?" I ask, my stomach in knots as panic sets in. My first thought is that something is wrong with the twins. "The twins will be fine, do not worry, my dear. I will watch over them as I did with Odett. I came with a warning about Douglas." She says, and my heart stops for a moment. "He knows that you are about to give birth and thinks that you will be in a vulnerable state. He is planning to make his move now." "S

  • The Orphaned Queen   The Celebration Of Resurrections

    Rain's P.O.V. When Zion opened the double doors to the Banquet Hall, I was shocked, to say the least. Everyone was talking, speculating what this gathering was all about, and then complete silence followed by gasps as everyone's gaze met Zion and me as the doors opened. I place my hand on my belly as Zion leads us into the crowded room. Everyone now has faces of relief and tears of joy streaming down their faces as they bow while we make our way past them and to a table set up for us. I feel an overwhelming sense of love and confusion pouring off of everyone in the room. As we reached our table, we were joined by the others in our group, including Morgan, Mia, and Nick, as well as King Arnald and Beta Mark. Zion pulls out a chair for me and helps me lower myself into it before he addresses the crowd. He goes into detail about the reasons for my disappearance while also apologizing to everyone for keeping them in the dark about the

    Zion's P.O.V. I woke up this morning and felt something different in the air like something would happen soon, but I wasn't sure what that would be. I asked Ryker about it, but he wasn't sure either. Orian linked me to let me know that everything was ready and that everyone would start showing up in about an hour or so, but that he needed to see me in my office for an important matter. I told him that I would be down soon and quickly linked Jessica and Lady Ezmerelda to ask them to help get Rain ready while I went to handle a few things before the shower and celebrations began. As soon as I told Rain that we needed to get moving and that her sister and mother would be helping her get dressed, she started getting emotional, which I know is from the hormones. Thankfully, I saved myself by explaining that she wasn't fat, just very pregnant. That worked, and just in time, since Jessica and Lady Ezmerelda arrived the next second,

    Rain's P.O.V. As soon as my head hits the pillow, I fall asleep, but opening my eyes, I'm surrounded by nothing but black, and I know exactly what's going on. I found the light silver glow and walked towards it before hearing the comforting voice of the moon goddess, Selene. I can't help but smile as she comes into view before panic starts, knowing that we only have a meeting like this when something terrible has happened or will happen. "Hello, daughter. I'm glad to see you in such good spirits," Selene said with a smile of her own as she reassured me. This is a good meeting. There's no need to panic. I've come to inform you of my plans for Odett's future." "What do you mean? Won't she be the next Werewolf Queen?" I ask her, my voice thick with confusion and fear. Was she planning to take Odett away from me and Zion? I don't want to lose her, but I know that Selene will always make the best decisions, and there's nothing I can do or

    Zion's P.O.V. After Luna Morgan, Mia, and Nick's arrival, I quickly linked with Orian to suggest we give them time to catch up with each other. I say that, but in reality, I wanted to save myself and the others from the headache their squeals would cause. Don't get me wrong, I love the excitement in my mate's voice, but there are too many females in this suite at the moment. Orian agrees but thinks we should take Nick with us. "Do we have to?" I ask. "Yes, remember he was the one that drove them here. I imagine he's heard enough and needs a break." He responds with a laugh. "Fine," I tell him with a huff before turning my attention to my mate. "Well, ladies, King Arnald, Beta Mark, Orian, Sam, Nick, and I will leave y'all to the planning." We left the suite and made our way to my office on the first floor. Once in my office, I offer everyone a drink, and they accept. Orian pours everyone a glass and hands them out as we s

    Rain's P.O.V. After returning to our suite, we all sat around and ate lunch while conversing about different things. I noticed Zion and Orian suddenly got quiet, and when I looked over, I could tell they were talking through the link. I automatically got nervous, thinking something had happened, but then I heard someone approaching the door before there was a knock. When no one moves, and Zion helps me up from the couch, asking me to get the door, I grow suspicious but still make my way to the door anyway. I notice no one is talking, but I know Zion wouldn't be put in harm's way. As I open the door, I'm hit with Mia and Morgans's excitement and their high-pitched squeals, and I can't help but let out my own squeal. "What are y'all doing here?" I ask them in disbelief. "We're here for your baby shower," Mia says while looking over my shoulder at everyone. "What baby shower?" I asked, whirling around to look at Zion. "Ask Jess
