All Chapters of The Princess And The Bear: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Eoin. My sister was a strong wolf, and I was fully on board with her, knowing what was happening to Ben's home pack. I knew my father agreed deep down, but I guess fear as a parent led to some inner battle. He was busy now pulling warriors to send with us. I lean against the black SUV, watching Max say goodbye to Daphne on the Palace steps before he joined me. Once he tossed his bag inside he joined me in silence. Rori came next, her hair tied up, her clothing changed now, and a small gear bag in her hand. "Ready?" She asked tossing it in. We nodded just as my parents elated from the Palace entrance. "Wait." my mother called as she tossed herself at us. " Be safe." she whispered. My father embraced us also but stayed silent until I heard someone else approaching us. I raised an eyebrow as I saw Adam and James walk towards us, each carrying a bag. "I can't go, but I'm sending the next best thing. Listen to Adam." Dad began then turning towards Rori he pulled her close. "You're mar

RoriThe gun fire blasted out from various points across the woods and forest as Ben instinctively tucked his body over mine in a protective stance. "F**k this crazy bitch." I groaned. I moved to survey my surroundings, but Ben held me tight with a protective growl. "Ben, we are out in the open here. You need to let me go. We need to fight together like Luna and Alpha." I said, and he let me go. "You stay close, little mate." Kane's voice rumbled from Ben's chest with a silent understanding settling between us."Always." I said with sincerity as a passing bullet ruined our moment, and we dashed for cover. Once I hit the cover of thick trees, I spotted the Luna Megan darting amoungst the bushes. She was directing hunters towards the Alpha's pack house where the vulnerable pack members were."Get control of the weak and the pack children, and they will surrender." she barked straight away, and my wolf spoke in my head. "Over my dead body." Tara snapped. "Agreed," I muttered, and de

Rori. A few days ticked by, and I began to find my footing. Aiden was going to be a working progress. He was very by the book and took guarding me very seriously. I knew Max would be recalled to the Palace, and I had not decided if we would settle here or return. Right now, with Luna Ivy still recovering and Alpha Gideon working with the Palace and council through the aftermath and paperwork of the ambush, both Ben and I were needed here. Whilst I was still well looked after with an assigned ladies maid omega and my Gamma gaurd Gideon, I loved being away from the Palace life. The hustle and bustle of the pack house was lovely but less pomp and ceremony. I loved living in the forest hearing the birds and the rustle of the leaves. But most of all, I loved my little dynamic with Ben. We had fallen into a comfortable routine. together, and it had given me a taste of my future that I was reluctant to give up now. Being a princess in my father's court now seemed so mundane. I spent my days

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

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
