The Queen's Guard

Maddison Spencer-Bennett One drink… Two drinks… Too many drinks later... I opened my eyes as the light was coming through the curtains. As I did so, I realized that my head was resting peacefully on a bare, toned chest. I walked away slowly, trying not to panic, because reality was hitting me hard: I had slept with a complete stranger. “Shit! I have to get out of here!” I whispered to myself, while looking for my lost clothes... today I was the one who had to do the walk of shame when leaving this room. A walk I had seen many times with the countless women who slept with the triplets. Every time I saw them leave the house embarrassed at dawn, I would give the talk to my brothers, as if I were the police of morality and good customs... and now, I was the one who committed the crime. Once dressed, I looked one last time at the stranger, who was sleeping in the bed, completely unconcerned. Without a doubt, I would never forget this night and I could never forget him, si

Maddison Spencer-Bennett.So now I found out that my parents knew who one of my mates was years ago. Why the fuck didn’t anyone say anything? I don’t believe at all that it’s because “they wanted to protect my childhood.” Bullshit!I got out of bed and asked him the question that was on my mind. “Dad, why didn’t anyone tell me anything? And don’t say it was to protect me.”He opened his eyes wide, but it was Alonso who took my hand and said, “Because I asked them to, little mate.”I frowned and broke free from his grip. I crossed my arms and said, “Explain yourself.”He sighed and said, “Your parents wanted you to know about my existence years ago. I asked them not to tell you anything because I wanted you to get to know me without having expectations. Honestly, little one, I was terrified to think that I wouldn’t be enough for you.”This left me amazed and speechless.The most coveted CEO, admired and pursued by all women of all ages, was terrified that I would reject him? Hasn’t the

Alonso Corleone. We entered the palace, and the guards greeted us respectfully, without looking Maddison in the face. According to royal protocol, no guard or warrior could look at the princesses or the queen in the face. Of course, Hannah, at her tender 12 years old, did not understand it and I have often known her to prank the guards to make them look at her nonsense. Warren lived hiding her misdeeds and, well... the triplets too. They spoiled her with everything she wanted, because she was the youngest, except the queen. She was ruthless with her five children. We arrived at the queen’s office, and Maddison knocked on the door. We waited a few seconds until we heard, “Come in!” I opened it and let Maddison enter first, as protocol dictated. The queen’s mates had to go behind her as respect and protection. “Wow… Until fate caught up with you. It’s about time! I’m so tired of having to pretend like I knew nothing.” I closed the door and from where I was standing, I could feel

Alonso Corleone.The second I heard the queen say that I had to meet Crystal, I knew I was going to live in a fucking hell... I had no intention of seeing her again, but now I had to meet her.Argh! It was hard enough handling with my insecurity regarding Maddison and her other mates without also having to deal with her and her wolf’s bubbling jealousy.Ankor tried to bond with Kallie, but she closed the door to her mind on him. It was something we thought would happen.I sighed deeply and said, “Is it necessary? Honestly, I don’t want to make you uncomfortable, Maddison.”During all this time, I kept drawing small circles on my little mate’s hand, trying to calm her down.“I’m sorry, Alonso. Apparently, Crystal is not as innocent as she led us to believe. I would never ask you to confront her, if it wasn’t necessary. I want her to know that she cannot threaten the royal family.”Maddison said, “What you want is for Alonso to put her in her place? Is that it?”The queen shrugged. “Wha
