It’s been a week since Lana arrived now and I wish I could say her first week was full of nothing but settling in and getting to know her new pack and our family getting to know her more, but that would be a lie.
Since the day the boys shared with us the issues between the Water Rock and Brook Hole packs, things have only gotten more tense. As expected, Water Rock did nothing to initiate a fight. Once we reached out to them, we got their side of the story and it wasn’t a surprise. They had been the ones to reach out to my dad about the issues because they were finding Brook Hole warriors trying to infiltrate their borders. The last attempt had included an attack on a Water Rock patrol and that was when they reached out to us. The current laws says packs should attempt to solve disputes between them, and then if not possible, before turning to violence they must reach out to the King to attempt to settle the dispute with mediation.

“Are you ok, love?” Ryn asks as he turns me around his arms and rubs his thumb over my cheek.“I’m fine, really. Thanks to you. And Quai. I just don’t understand why he is here.”“What do you mean? He is here to speak with your dad.”“Yeah… why? Where is his father? He can’t come and negotiate anything with my father, unless-”“Oh shit.” Ryn says as he runs his hand through his hair.Only the Alpha of a pack can request an audience with the King. Only the Alpha can negotiate an alliance or breaking an alliance with another pack. An issue like whats going on has to be dealt with by the head of the packs. So if Syn was able to request a hearing with the King, it means that he is the Alpha. Which means he gained his title before he was supposed to, and it means he did it without my father’s ap

I’m not sure who I was expecting to walk through that door, who I imagined the clutch person was that the King went to in situations like this would be. But it certainly was not the Queen, my mate, and my future Queen.The three women walked in, heads high and smiles on their faces. In their hands they each had a cup of coffee and paperwork. I noticed Olina’s hair was on the top of her head in a messy bun, a signature look that she sported when she was busy working through an issue.“Hey,” I softly said to her as she came up to me and gave me a small kiss.“Hi handsome.”I hear the other two women greet their mates and I find a seat finally. I hadn’t sat down since Syn arrived, unable to calm myself enough to sit still. But not I had a reason to sit since I had the perfect thing to fill my lap with.I sank down into the chair and pulled her down to sit

{ Olina }I’m slack against Ryn’s chest as I try to catch my breathe. Our little sexcapade session was fast and hot and my heart was racing at an inhumane speed.“So baby,” my ears perk up at the tone he has so I raise my head and look at him. Sure enough, his face shows that he is trying to bring something up that he isn’t sure about. “When do you wan-”His eyes glaze over and his demeanor changes instantly. All his muscles tense up and I can practically feel his anger.“I fucking knew it!” he growls out in a terrifying tone. He gently lifts me and puts me on the floor, kisses my forehead and then sprints to the bedroom.What the hell…“Ryn what is happening?” I yell as I run to the bedroom after him, only to find he is already fully dressed and slipping on his boots.

I wait and beat and come into the room where they are. I see them shaking hands and they both look up when I knock on the wall. But I’m honestly not sure what to say.“You can come in, Oly.” Quai says.We stand there in silence. None of us speaking, none of us touching, just the weight of the evening sitting between us. I didn’t want to know what they may have saw tonight. I saw enough. I didn’t want to ask how they were, because I knew damn well how they were. There wasn’t anything I could say to help. This wasn’t something that could be helped by words.After another few minutes Quai simply held out his hand to me. I looked at it for a second and then place mine in it. He squeezed it gently. Ryn put his hand out for my other one, and I happily placed mine in his as well.“If this becomes a war, I’m going to ask for the crown immediately.”

“I didn’t know that being mated to the Princess meant that I would constantly be awoken at 6am.” Ryn mutters behind me as he buries his face in my back. “I hate to tell you this, but this one is on you General.” I tease him as my brother’s voice echoes through the wood door. “I’ll come in, I swear.” Quai hollers. Ryn strings together swear words In between laying kisses on my shoulders and then flips the covers off him. “I have no clothes,” Ryn yells back to Quai. “I gotta run home, might take me a few minutes or… hours.” He shoots me a wink. Suddenly the door opens and Ryn is standing there in his boxers as Quai walks in and throws a duffle at him. “Sorry to ruin that plan but Mom already went to get you both clothes as a thank you for staying here last night.” Quai smirks. He side eyes me carefully and I laugh. “I’m decent

I felt Olina stiffen next to me. That word carried more weight now than ever before. We used to play war, pretend we were heros, running our imaginary kingdom. We used to use the word in school, reenact history, talk about war as if it was hypothetical only. But now we sit here as actual leaders, with the lives of thousands of wolves in our hands.“I understand how that word makes us all feel, the weight of it does not escape me. However, what’s done is done. The attack on Olina while Syn was in our pack and the fact he took over the Alpha position without the King’s approval were both instances that went against the Kingdom’s laws, and then he attacked Water Rock with no motive other than pursuit of power. Now, we were still discussing mediation, and trying to talk some sense into him when the attack first started, however as we approaches Water Rock’s territory last night, our wolves were met by the patrols of Syn’s pack.

I took deep breathes as my father spoke. Despite the lengths I’ve gone to calm my mate down about what was about to happen, the truth was far from what I told him. Were the chances extremely slim that Lana and Quai would die before they had a child? Yes. Were they just as slim they would die before that child turned 18? also yes. That being said, we were werewolves. And our duty didn’t end when they had their first child. That child would be the crown princes or princess, but Goddess forbid something happened to them before that child was 18, we would be the next in line to take the thrown until they were of age.I knew that Waryn knew this. I also know that he just needed some reassurance that I believed as much as he did that that wasn’t going to happen. And I had a feeling he viewed it as he wouldn’t allow that to happen, since it was literally his job.Nonetheless, here we were.I felt fingers

“I don’t give a shit what he wants, I want to know if he will agree to meet with me.”I pace outside the door with Lana. We had been busying ourselves with work that was needed. That is, until we found out that after 5 long days Quai had finally gotten some sort of contact back from Syn. We didn’t want to barge in as we arrived after the phone call started. Unfortunately, it didn’t sound like he was actually talking to Syn.Another minute of frustration from Quai and his office door opened.“Come in already” Ryn tells us as he shakes his head and we feign innocence.“You don’t have to wait,, you can just come in. You are the two most powerful women in this kingdom, for crying out loud.” Quai says with a smirk on his face as he greets us. He extends a hand and Lana immediately goes to him and snuggles into his lap.&ldquo
