The Princess And The Bear 17. The Real Sir Anthony.
BenWith all that had been on my mind with Rori, then the hunters, her heat, and relocation discussions, it was easy to forget about Sir Anthony sitting in the Palace cells. The council had done its investigation, and under their insights, Anthony had admitted what he had tried to do to the Crowned Princess. A forced mating was unforgivable in our world, one of the worst crimes and sadly more commonly inflicted on vulnerable women than the community cared to admit. I knew things with him were in motion when King Emmett summoned me to his office. "Come in, Ben." he called once I knocked, and I entered. Adam sat in the office with Danny. All three looked comfortable, yet a serious tension hung in the air. Paper littered the Kings desk, and his window was thrown open, shining the morning light on King Emmetts' deep maghony furniture. The room had pale blue walls and was decorated with the dark wood shelves that held books. A leather sofa stood to the side of the room, and above it was f
The Princess And The Bear 18. A Lost Friend
Rori. I was sitting with Sage, who was happily playing with Victoria on the floor with me. We were busy watching her for my mother, and we now found ourselves busy helping her to build a Disney Princess jig saw. "I am a real Princess, not just a cartoon." Victoria told Sage, who smiled."I know, Princess." she laughed."Are you a princess?" Victoria asked. "Because Rori is just a bigger Princess, and Ash and Eoin are Princes, but they're not like in the stories either. Eoin will be King." She whispered as if she was telling Sage a secret. "I know." Sage whispered back. "But I am not a Princess. I am a Royal Gamma and a witch." Sage responded as Victoria nodded thoughtfully. "Guess someone has been learning about pack politics." I laughed but stopped suddenly when I felt over whelming rage and anger rush through me. I knew instantly it wasn't mine it was Ben's, and its force was doubling me over. "Rori?" Sage asked as I took deep breaths to compose myself through the forgein emoti
The Princess And The Bear 19. Explosion
BenThe past couple of days had been unsettling, and something had Kane on edge. I couldn't quite place what was happening, but watching my mate face off with that Idiot Alpha Sir Anthony had really set my nerves on high alert. I was happy that Rori had decided to allow her father to order the punishment because I didn't want her living with the outcome for the rest of her life. Rori was safely at the academy. I had dropped her there along with Sage this morning to complete some exams she had and then had doubled back with Eoin. Our Alpha training had taken a more realistic turn in recent times. There was nothing we could learn in a classroom right now that we weren't learning being active in the pack. I now sat in her father's office with Danny, Adam, and Eoin going over what Anthony had revealed in his confrontation of Rori. "She did well in getting more information from the piece of shit then we tortured from him." Danny sighed. "Confirming there are groups out there still agains

Rori. I sat in the pack dining room that was now doubling as a military style temporary field hospital for minor injuries. With the clinic damaged in the attack, everyone who wasn't in need of or on serious medical machinery had been placed here. A kind young nurse fussed over my cuts and bruises, and it annoyed me. I pulled away from her and pleadingly asked her. "Please don't. I'm fine. Go tend to someone who needs your help." She looked at me with timid eyes, and I could see her thorn expression. "The King has ordered you be cared for." she sighed as I numbly nodded. "My wounds are minor, and I shall worry about my father he will understand. I will be healed before he even sees me." I assured her as she nodded and scurried off to help someone else. "You should have let her check you over." Ben scowled. "Don't start, Ben." I snapped, rolling my eyes. "I'm fine, besides its Sage I am worried about." I muttered."I know." he muttered as he pulled me close. I allowed his warmth to

Ben. "Your fly is down." Adam chuckled, and my blood ran cold. I knew I was covered in the Kings daughters scent and arousal, which added to this horribly awkward situation but we were in a hurry and without asking for a dman shower there wasnt much I could do but brave it. As her mate, this moment was always going to happen right, I thought to myself. Adam was howling almost with laughter, and it was all being made worse by the fact we were about to board a confined lift together to ride to the ground floor. The King was now mumbling something that was fueling Adams laughter. "He's her mate. You can't kill him." The King was chanting under his breath to himself. "You're mate will kill you if you kill him." he continued in a barely audible chant. I must have looked confused as Adan met my gaze and smirking simply said, "He is meditating, manifesting your survival." he laughed. "Don't worry, I told you before the Royal Beta does the killing, and I won't kill you today." he added, and

Rori. When I woke, I reached out only to find Ben's side of the bed cold, and my mate had evidently left already for the day. I sighed he had been late returning from tracking Anthony, and despite my efforts to wait up for him, the emotion and exhaustion of the day had caught up with me. I had felt his warmth and the great comfort it brought when he did finally make it to bed and wordlessly cuddled me against his chest, but waking up without him now was distressing my already anxiety ridden wolf. I could feel Tara more and more each day. She didn't always have the strength to converse directly with me via our mind link, but I could feel her constant presence now. I climbed out of bed and quickly showered, drying and braiding my red hair into a long braid. I threw on some black yoga pants and a cropped powder blue jumper. Shoving my feet into my trainers, I found my mom in the kitchen washing up some coffee cups. "Morning, sweetheart." she chirped as I slipped onto a stool at the bre

BenOnce we had confronted Sir Anthony's parents Alpha Lord Arher Turner and Luna Lady Megan Turner, they had denied any knowledge of Sir Anthony's plans. It was hard to gauge if they were sincere and genuine, but as they agreed to come to the Palace and help the crown, they remained innocent until proven guilty. They were escorted back to the Palace with their travelling gaurd, and the potential tension of the morning was now ebbing away. King Emmett sat up front of the SUV with a warrior driving. Eoin and I were seated in the back with Danny when the Kings eyes glazed over. Once his finished his mind link, he turned slightly in the seat to speak to us. "That was Charlie. Apparently, Rori has got some important information for us. I do want to hear it, but first, I want to run a little test at lunch with our guests, and I need Ben's help." He added as I looked up and leaned forward slightly, nodding for him to continue. "At lunch, we will invite Lord and Lady Turner to join us, but

Rori. After the conversation in my father's office, I left with Ben, leaving my father, Danny, and Adam to discuss security issues. My mother scurried off to no doubt make last-minute party plans with Casey and Dottie. Eoin disappeared off to warrior training. I knew Ben should be at training, but he hung back to fall into step with me. We walked in silence before Ben broke first, and he reached out and caught my hand. The warmth of the action instantly soothed my nerves. "You okay?" he asked softly, concern in his features. "Yes." I sighed slightly tired and wearily. "Liar." he smirked, yanking me suddenly by the hand so I spun into his broad solid chest. I loved feeling small and safe in Ben's arms. Ben leant down slowly, his lips finding mine as he placed a searing yet soft kiss on them. He growled slightly as I responded eagerly, my own body hungry for my mates touch. He manoeuvred me slightly, so we were now tucked into one of the wide halls, slight alcoves that housed a marbl

Rori.(One Year Later) I watched as Teddy wobbled towards my laughing parents as they bent down to greet him. His chubby little hands out stretched to be picked up. He had only begun walking a few days prior right in time for his first birthday. My father was holding my now nearly one and half year old brother David, who was just as eager to see his little cousin. He reached for me as I scooped David up, and Ben and I note fussed over him as my parents did the same over their first grandchild. Eoin and Amira were next through the door with Amira carrying a large blue paper wrapped gift with a large silver bow. I greeted and embraced them warmly. Ash, my younger brother, arrived with my sister Victoria perched on his shoulders along with his best friend Kayda. James barreled in moments later with some random girlfriend he was passing the current week with. My aunt Daphne, Uncle Max, came next with their kids along with Danny and Dottie and their youngest Scarlet in Danny's arms. Once A

Ben"Isn't it perfect?" my mate cooed as she showed me the finishing touches on our cubs nursery. The pack was alive and buzzing with the news. We had spent the last few months getting our own house in Big Paw Pack ready, and this was the last room my mate had completed. She had taken extra care in picking every item that went into this room. She had pondered over every detail with amazement and happiness. "It's amazing." I agreed, but I was looking at her and not the room before me. I know it's a cliche, but my mate glowed, her red hair shone as it fell loose over her shoulders. She was wearing a pair of soft leggings and a soft off the shoulder beige jumper. Her rounded bump was now in full bloom, and I now fully understood the words I had heard her very own father say that he himself never loved his mate more than when she was carrying his pups. It all made sense to me now and despite the initial shock at our news, my now long since healed black eye from her twin brother when he fo

Rori. Since it was confirmed I was pregnant a few mere hours ago, I now felt it was so obvious. I was suddenly always starving it had to be psychological, right? I grumbled to myself. I was looking in my parents' fridge as I dug around, moving all her cheese. It would have been so simple if I shared my mother's pregnancy obsession with cheese, but sadly, I did not. I looked up with an excited expression when I scented Sage enter. "Sage." I called as I launched myself into her open arms. She giggled under my weight as she hugged me back. "Doughnuts?" She asked as I gasped. "Yes, thank god you're a life saver." I sighed as I grabbed some mugs and poured the freshly brewed coffee. "So what's been going on with you?" I asked through a mouthful of sugar glazed doughnuts icing that was now smeared across my lips. "A lot." Sage sighed. I paused my chewing. "Oh?" I said, encouraging her. "There's a guy." she sighed. "Oh, a guy?" I concealed my smile. "Anyone I know?" I asked. "No, h

BenSo there it was my whole life changed in the space of an afternoon. I had a secret feeling my mate wanted this more than I realised, and now two lines on a white stick had confirmed what we suspected. I was destined to be a young everything , I was a young shifter shifting at three years old in response to the presence of my mate and the issues in the royal pack at the time, I was a young mate, a young warrior and now it would seem I was to be a young father. I was really happy if all be it a little nervous. I hadn't even worked out how the bear pack would protect Rori, never mind a pregnant Rori. I also wondered when I should tell Aiden so he was aware of the added complications, but Rori had sworn me to silence while we were skinny dipping in our lake spot last night. She wanted it to be just our secret for now, but I did remind her wolves would smell it, and high-ranking wolves had a very good sense of smell. She hoped it would just come across as my scent, so I didn't disagree.
The Princess And The Bear 41. Two Lines
Rori. I smelled like him but more like him. What was he on about. I was slightly annoyed when he stopped kissing me and started sniffing me like he was on a mission. When he pressed his nose to the soft skin above my belly button, he looked up at me his eyes wide, and I stared back awkwardly. "No." I said aloud in my head, but conveniently, my wolf Tara was silent. I looked into Ben's face and I knew what he was thinking as I did the math on my last period and well it didn't work out in a number that allowed me to reasure him convincingly, with everything that had gone on in the past month and after my heat I hadn't kept track. He pressed his nose again to my stomach and breathed in my scent. "Well?" I asked him as he pulled away slightly. "Well, what?" he asked as I noticed his face was a little pale. "Well, we go get you your ice cream, wait and see at an appointment with Dr Teller, or we go to the drug store and get a test?" he responded. I pondered his options. "Drug store." I
The Princess And The Bear 40. The Kings Decision
Ben. The Vampire's report supported what my mate had suspected, and I was sure now she was right. Anthony had agreed to allow Madame Lux place him under a spell to replay his keys memories in an attempt to prove he thought he was acting on the moon Goddesses behalf and not his own plight for a higher title. I personally never liked the guy, but then he was a threat to my mate, so instinctively, we were never going to be best friends. The guys Arthur,Eoin, James, and Ash as Alpha's and Beta blood never felt the same as me. Now Rori was marked by me I didn't feel as strong in some ways but then I was reminded of him forcing himself on her and this was why I asked King Emmett and Beta Adam to leave me out of the deliberations regarding Anthony. They had agreed, and I was happy to leave it in the hands of her father. I was now sitting with my future Gamma Aiden as we went over Rori's new detail. I wanted to ask the King to remove his men from her service, but I needed to make sure she wa

Rori. Ben didn't give me shit about my quest to save Anthony he just supported me. After the council and my request for an in-depth look at exactly what Anthony was guilty of, he hadn't judged me. In fact, he had stated to the council when asked that he stood by me. What more could a girl want in a mate I laughed as Tara agreed. Big, tall, handsome body of Adonis and willing to stand by me. He had spent all evening making me forget, so by the time I was hungry enough to head to the kitchen where my parents sat, I felt like jelly. The bliss was running through my veins. "I brought you two up a plate from the pack hall." my mom called as I unwrapped the foil to peek inside. "Steak and baked potatoes." I told Ben as he nodded, and I loaded it into the oven to warm up. "I hear you want Anthony to be re investigated." My mom called from the seating area where she was cuddled up with my dad. I smiled for all the world they looked like two teenagers, my dad's hand resting on the slightly

BenI watched Rori bite her lip as she considered my question. What could she possibly be angling at here. "Rori?" I prompted, raising my eyebrow. "I have a strong feeling here, Ben, that Anthony isn't to blame." she sighed. I couldn't believe this when it came to Anthony she always had a soft spot for this overconfident idiot Alpha. He always irked me, and I was willing to bet that was the possessive nature in me, but to me, Anthony had no redeeming positives. "Rori, he led an attack on my pack." I said. "Our pack," I added, emphasising the our. She shook her head. "That's just it, Ben. I don't believe he led anything. Do we have solid proof that Anthony hurt anyone?" She said as my mouth fell open. "Rori, he tried to force himself on you to mark you forcefully." I reminded her, trying hard to keep the anger from my tone. "Yes, he did on his mother's orders, and under the belief he had held his whole life that he was doing what the moon goddess wanted." she replied. "That doesn

RoriYup, I was being childish. I knew this, but something about being back under my parents' roof always made me rivert back to a childish, moody teenager. I was well aware of this when I slammed my bedroom and was even more aware of it when I dramatically tossed myself face down on my bed, but I had committed now to the dramatic tantrum. I lay there alone whilst Tara laughed in my head about how weird human emotions were. I mean since my awakening as a mate I now could possibly guess exactly how my parents found themselves in this situation not that I didn't know the dynamics before its just now more clear and yuck a shudder ran through me. "I think the key here is not to put yourself and Ben in your parents' shoes." Tara chuckled in my head. "Oh goddess, shut up." I replied, burying my face in the pillows. After a while, I heard a gentle knock on my door, and my mother entered, holding a buttercream cake and two forks. She sat on the bed as I sat up she held out one of the forks
