I hope you liked this chapter. I would love to read your comments.
In my drugged haze, I heard Victor yell, “Shit! What the fuck did you do, my queen? How the hell am I supposed to get you out of there?” I heard Hugo and Bruno shuffle away from me, leaving me with their friends. Bruno launched his body at Victor, mouth wide open, while Hugo roared loud enough to shake the ground. Victor screamed like a girl as Hugo bit down on his leg and commenced with the death roll as weregator warriors came to cuff him and take him to the dungeons. I heard King Mateo chuckle, “Good job, boys. I’m very proud of you.” I felt my head lower to the ground as the alligator that was under it moved away and I started wondering why I could hear everything around me, but I hadn’t blacked out yet. Then I heard mom step beside me, “Baby girl, I know you can hear me. You were given a paralytic. It’s not meant to knock you out. We have Victor locked up in the dungeon while we wait for you and Sebastian to come out of it.” I felt someone carry me into the pack house and lay me
Selene waited until we were all seated and sighed, “Okay. Here is my plan for Sebastian and Adele. I did try to guide Victor to be a good king. He was more concerned with being the first to get his mate as well as having the best mate of all of his siblings. Little did he know that his mate would have been perfect, no matter her abilities. She would have been perfect in his eyes. He just didn’t want to wait for her. He also didn’t want to believe that Sebastian found his destined mate before he was given one. So, the only option now is to remove him permanently. He will not step down and accept it. King Quincy and Queen Lori, you will need to strip Victor of his title and then you will name Sebastian as the successor to the throne. Only then will Sebastian be able to kill Victor and be accepted by the kingdom. Your kingdom will be able to feel the bond with Victor break and they will feel the bond with Sebastian grow stronger.” I added, “When we get home, we will plan our wedding and
After showering and changing clothes, we went to Grandma Izzy’s for a visit. When we knocked on the door, Grandpa answered, “Hey sweetie! Hey Sebastian! It’s really good to see you again.” I hugged him, “Hey grandpa! How are you feeling?” He smiled, “We are both doing great. How are you? I heard you had a pretty rough night, last night.” I rolled my eyes, “Yeah. It was pretty rough, but Hugo and Bruno saved me.” Sebastian smiled, “And, by extension, me. Because she is my life.” I smiled, “You’re so sweet,” as I wrapped my arms around his waist from the side. Grandma smiled, “You two look so in love. Have you decided on a date for the wedding yet?” I replied, “Not yet, but it may have to be sooner than expected. Sebastian was named successor to the throne of the Southern Werecat Kingdom. I don’t know when his dad will be stepping down yet.” Sebastian shrugged, "No clue. We haven’t really discussed any of that. We haven’t had time to talk about it, to be honest.” We all sat down in the
Mom and Grandma Abby were pleased with that idea, but my mom looked a bit concerned. I asked, “You’re worried about whether my dress can get done in such a short time. Aren’t you?” Mom nodded, “You know me so well.” I laughed, “I do. I have decided that I’m going to see what she has in her original designs first. She always has amazing designs already made. Hopefully, she will have one in a wedding dress.” Mom agreed, “I know she had some wedding dresses done the other day. We’ll just have to see if she still has some on the racks.” I nodded, “That’s what I was thinking.” After the meeting was done, we went back to Grandma Abby’s house first to grab our stuff, then to Grandma Izzy’s house to teleport home with her and grandpa. When we got home, I laughed as grandma walked straight to the kitchen to see what we had for ingredients, “I see we have everything we need for a meatloaf dinner tonight. Would that be okay with you?” I smiled as I nodded, “Of course. Anything you cook is amazin
After Sarah checked the fit, she smiled, “This is so you. I know you like simple everything, and I knew if you saw this one, it would be perfect. I have the perfect veil too.” She left the room and Queen Lori found her voice, “Sebastian is going to love that dress. It’s simple, but gorgeous. You two are perfect for each other.” I smiled, “Thank you.” Sarah returned with a veil that was very simple with only small, embroidered flowers edging the bottom of it and small hair combs to attach it into my hair. I smiled as a tear fell from my eye, “This is perfect.” Sarah smiled, “I knew this design would be perfect.” She also brought out a silk gown in pale pink. It was a backless maxi dress that had slits going up each side all the way up to my hips. I smiled as I stepped up onto the platform, “I really love this dress.” Mom agreed, “That is perfect. It’s making your blue eyes glow.” Queen Lori smiled, “True. In a dimly lit room, it could look like you aren’t wearing anything.” I laughed,
I saw a bright light and watched Selene appear in front of me, “Hello Adele. How do you feel about Zoey joining Singarti and Willow?” I chuckled, “They are all just fine together. I’m also happy that she is a white tiger. She matches Zion.” Selene smiled, “They will all get along just fine. I came to you to tell you not to shift tonight, when you give Sebastian his wolf. I should have told you this before you shifted into Zoey, but you will be alright.” I furrowed my brows, “What? Why?” She replied, “You are with child. You should see the doctor very soon.” I smiled, “Sweet! I will call the doctor tomorrow. Should I tell my mate right now?” She smiled, “You probably should so that he won’t get upset because you didn’t shift with him.” I giggled, “I don’t think he could get mad at me, but I will tell him.” She smiled, “I think you may be right. I will leave and let you wake up for now. Just remember… do not shift.” When I opened my eyes, I looked around to see my mate hovering over me
The next morning, I tried to get out of bed, but arms of steel tightened their hold on me. I chuckled as he pulled me closer to him and he growled, “Where are you going, love?” I laughed, “I need to get up. I need some coffee before we go to the doctor.” I heard him gasp, then he jumped up and out of bed in a flash, “Well, come on, mate. We need to go to the doctor today!” I laughed at him and started to get out of bed, when he picked me up bridal style and took me to the bathroom. He sat me on the countertop and turned on the shower. I chuckled, “What are you doing?” He had this strange grin on his face as he told me, “Today, I start taking care of you and our babies.” I chuckled, “Babies?” He smiled, “I told you. I know it’s going to be quads. There is no way it can’t be.” I laughed, “No, it’s very possible that it’s not. I’m not hoping for any particular sex or set. I just want it to be healthy.” He smiled, “I do too. I just want quads.” I rolled my eyes, “I don’t know that I want m
It has been a week since we got our new animals and I found out that we are having quadruplets and Sebastian and I are on cloud nine. I woke up this morning and started noticing that my animals have gotten very quiet lately. I asked, “Singarti, what’s going on with the three of you? Why are you being so quiet?” She replied, “We are just talking amongst ourselves and with our mates.” I asked, “So, is there anything I need to know about? You are not usually this quiet.” She responded, “There is nothing going on. We are just watching over the children.” I smiled, “So you are all getting in maternal mode now?” Singarti sighed, “Yes. That doesn’t mean we can’t still kick ass if needed.” I nodded, “Yes you can.” Then Willow said something that made me stop trying to get out of bed, “The moment you sit up, you are going to feel sick.” I cringed, “Please tell me that’s not starting.” She shrugged, “Sorry, it’s starting.” I whined to myself, “I guess. Might as well get it over with.” I sat up a
My quadruplets are five years old now and we have added five more children to the family since then. We had a set of triplets when the quad was two, and then a set of twins last year. To say I have been busy would be an understatement. My triplets, Eddie, Cade and Damien are quite the handful. I’ve tried to get Sebastian to intervene, but he just says, “They’re just boys.” My twins, Allie, short for Allison, and Emma turned one today. We had a huge playground installed at the castle and our kids just love it. We are giving all the kids in our children’s age groups the day off from training so we can celebrate the twins’ birthday. As we watched all the kids play, Joshua asked, “Mom, does the quad have to be here?” I laughed because all the kids in our quad are way more intelligent and mature than they should be. By the time they were three all four of them knew how to read and were highly skilled on the computer. I sighed, “But don’t you want to wish the twins a happy birthday?” He ga
Sebastian and I have been officially on the throne for three months and I am now miserably pregnant. My belly is absolutely huge and Sebastian loves watching me waddle everywhere I walk. I, on the other hand, seem to be nesting. I got all of the blankets for our little ones crocheted and I have been doing a lot of extra cleaning lately. I was cleaning the bathroom when Sebastian reminded me, “Babe, we have staff that do that. You don’t need to. If you want to do something for the babies, why don’t you crochet some more stuff. You could make little booties or hats for them. I smiled, “I think you’re right. Thank you.” I grabbed some yarn and a hook and sat down on the couch. I got up almost immediately and started walking away. Sebastian asked, “What’s wrong?” I sighed, “I have to pee… again.” He chuckled, “It’s almost over, babe.” I smiled, “I know.” I got to the bathroom and felt a gush of water. I knew I hadn’t peed, then looked down at the puddle under my feet. I walked back to the
When Sebastian and I got to the hall entrance the doors were closed and they were waiting for everyone to take their places. While we waited, I looked around us. There was a man behind Sebastian who was highlighted in red. With one hand, I conjured a dagger of ice. Just as he was raising is hand with a dagger of his own, I threw my dagger at him and it pierced his eye and went into his brain. He instantly fell backward, dead. Sebastian looked at me, surprised, “Was it a highlighted one?” I chuckled, “He was literally seconds from plunging a dagger into your back. I’m just glad I saw him.” He smiled, “I’m glad you did too.” Just then, the doors opened and we locked arms. I guess I was gripping his arm a little tighter than I meant to because he mumbled, “You are cutting off the circulation to my hand, love. Relax.” I chuckled as I loosened my grip on his arm, “Sorry, babe.” He chuckled, “No problem.” When we got to the stage, we walked up the steps and stood in front of King Quincy and
I woke up the next morning with my first thought being, “Holy shit! Today is Coronation Day!” I didn’t even take a second to stretch before jumping out of bed and practically running to the bathroom to take a shower. After taking my shower, I went to our closet and put on a sundress until it was time to get ready for the event. I went to the kitchen and poured myself a cup of coffee and sat in my favorite chaise lounge chair by the windows. I hadn’t been there long when my mom walked in. She poured a cup of coffee for herself and sat at the other end of my chair looking out the windows, “Are these the same kind of windows we have?” I nodded, “Yep. I like the idea of me seeing out, but no one can see in.” Mom agreed, “I always liked that too. Are you ready for your crowning ceremony?” I smiled, “I am. I was nervous at first, but Queen Lori told me that I’ve been doing the duties of a queen since I got here.” Mom laughed, “Being a queen is no different than being a luna. You are the moth
We spent more time than we originally planned in town and we had so much fun. After more baby shopping, Sebastian took me to a bakery that also sold ice cream. I ordered a jelly donut and a scoop of cherry ice cream, while Sebastian went with the classic apple turnover with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I reveled in the taste of my sweet treat and Sebastian laughed at me. I shrugged, “What? It’s good.” I filled a fork full of it and held it to his lips. He took a bite and smiled, “I guess you’re right. I never thought of that combination.” I smiled, “Now, I just need to learn how to make jelly filled donuts. I already know how to make the regular ones.” His eyes went wide, “You know how to make donuts?” I laughed, “I do. Would you like those for breakfast tomorrow?” He replied, “Probably not tomorrow. We should eat in the dining room tomorrow morning with it being coronation day and all the guests we have coming.” I looked at my phone and gasped, “Guests! My family is probably at the c
I woke up this morning, stretching and enjoying the sunlight streaming into our room. We have been moved into our wing of the castle for almost a full week and I have been thoroughly enjoying being able to cook for my mate. Once in a while we invite his parents over for dinner, just to see how they like being out of the castle and to consult with them on small issues. I got out of bed and headed to our kitchen to grab a cup of coffee. I moved to the chaise lounge by the window and sat there, looking outside, while I drank my coffee to wake up for a bit. As I sat there, I had to think about everything that needed to be done today. It’s the day before our coronation, so my family will be here today. I’m so excited to see them. As busy as I have been, I still miss them. I finish my first cup of coffee and sigh as I get out of my chair. I went to the kitchen and started making the biscuits for breakfast. As soon as they were cut out, I started making the sausage and bacon. When the sausa
It has been a week since Yahir was captured. King Quincy had sentenced him to death after one week of taking fifty whip lashes daily. Today is the day he is put to death and I am looking forward to it. His mate’s parents were sitting in front of us and I placed one hand on the mother’s shoulder and my other hand on her father’s shoulder in a gesture of comfort. I released a small amount of my omega waves and they visibly relaxed. The mother smiled at me, “Thank you, princess.” I smiled, “You’re very welcome. This may get a little gross. Let me know if you need more.” She smiled, “Thank you.” Just minutes later, Yahir was brought out, his entire backside, including the backs of his legs, was covered in bloody slashes. He was led to a wall, his arms spread out and wrists cuffed to the wall. His ankles restrained to the wall with his shackles. King Quincy sat in his throne and one of the warriors stepped forward to face us, “We are here to witness the execution of Yahir for the charges o
When they landed, I noticed that their hands were all forced to stay straight at their sides. The man in front was a tall, slim, man with long brown hair and brown eyes. I noticed that his eyes looked sunken in and his complexion pale. The men behind him looked like death warmed over. They were all skinny, eyes sunken in, and pale complexions, so I knew something had happened to them that was making them waste away. Possibly a rejection. The man in front stood there with a smirk on his face, “So you figured out a way to find me. I have to tell you, though, this isn’t all of my army.” Queen Lori laughed, “The rest are probably in our dungeons.” Queen Winnie added, “Or they aren’t very committed to your cause.” Yahir responded, “No, they are just good at hiding.” I laughed, “I guess we will find out.” King Quincy had some warriors grab them, “Take them to the dungeons and guard Yahir diligently.” After the guards took them away, Queen Winnie raised her arms again and cast the spell agai
It has been two weeks since Crystal moved away and she couldn’t be happier. She called us the night after she moved to the new town and told us that Alpha Abel is her mate! They are taking their time, he wants to be sure she trusts him before they mark and mate each other. She has already started warrior training and is super happy with it. She and I are starting to become friends and I am so happy to see the confident woman she is becoming. The other woman who wanted to reject her mate, Katie, was able to do just that the following day. We were able to get her and her child new identities and moved them to another town that is thirty miles away. She was able to get a job as a bookkeeper for the pack and is very happy just concentrating on giving her daughter a better life. I am so happy for her each time we speak. Meanwhile, we have been watching the training classes and the great improvements each class has made. Now that we have a comfortable schedule for the women’s classes, I as
