Adelie reached me and I tried to tone down my smile. This was our first public outing together and I didn’t want to scare her off. “Are you ready to leave?”

“Where are we going? I thought we would have lunch in the dining room,” she said to me.

“I thought you’d appreciate getting out of the castle a bit,” I said to her, and she nodded.

“That will be nice. I’ve never liked being cooped up for too long,” she said.

I held my arm out for her, which she took, and we made our way to the courtyard. ‘Carter, I’m taking a car and heading down to the seaside for lunch with Princess Adelie; we’ll be fine, stay here,’ I said to him in my mind.

‘I’ll follow in a car behind you and stay out of sight,’ he said and I smiled. Of course he would.

‘Will that make you feel better?’ I asked him, and he laughed.

‘It will, Alpha,’ he answered me.

I opened the door for Adelie and she climbed into the passenger seat. I walked around the car and got into the driver’s seat and started the car when I saw Carter

    Jessica glared at Malachi and Kiran took a step closer to them. I had enough to deal with and I didn’t need my family to be at odds with each other. I stood up from my seat and looked at them all. My Alpha aura was flowing from me and they all went quiet.“This is my plan and it’s final!”“Kai, calm down,” Falcon said, and I struggled to keep Onyx from pushing forward as my eyes began to change color.“Everybody should just listen to what I say. I know what I’m talking about, and as long as you do what I say, then you’ll all be fine,” I said.“And what about you? Will you be fine?” Adara asked me.“Even if I’m not, my son will be, and that’s all that matters,” I said.“We’re stronger together, we’ve learned this the hard way, but it’s the one thing that’s true,” Adara said to me.“Not this time Mom, this time it’s just me,” I said to her.“I think we all should get some rest. Tomorrow is a new day. At least we know what’s coming and we’re prepared,” Kiran said and stood up.“Kiran, I

    The night before the wedding, there’s a huge dinner party normally for the parents of both the groom and bride. I met Adelie’s parents, but I instantly disliked them, and I’m sure the feeling was mutual. I was forcing their daughter to marry me. Sacha seemed oblivious to the tensions around the table, and Kiran kept staring at Julien, Adelie’s father.Kiran didn’t like the manner in which they treated me, and I could see him trying to keep control and to not lose his temper. In his mind, we had saved Adelie, whereas they hadn’t even lifted a finger to search for her. He was in two minds about saying something even though I’d told him to just leave it. So glaring it was.Her mother, Amelie, barely greeted me, and conversation around the dinner table was a bit stiff. Meeting my family was a bit of an adrenaline rush on its own when you met them all at the same time, although Sacha was more relaxed than I had anticipated.“Mother, Father, this is Kai St. Claire,” Adelie introduced us. I

    I rubbed both hands over my face and sighed as I looked at the head Zetas, all standing in front of me. Falcon closed the door behind him, and I knew I had to give them something. “Sit, guys. This is an informal meeting and what I’m going to tell you now stays within these four walls.”“Relax, guys,” Falcon said, and filled a glass with Scotch and handed it to me as the Zetas all made themselves comfortable.“I’m just going to lay it all out on the table for you,” I said, and emptied the glass of Scotch. “Tomorrow night, during the crowning ceremony, we’ll be attacked, no sooner and no later. They will barge into the throne room just as the bishop places the crown on the Princess’ head.”“How do you know this?” Jaime asked me.“I saw it happening. All that matters is that if you wish to stay away, that is your right. Those that want to be present, will be doing guarding duty and getting people out of the throne room. I can’t cancel the ceremony and there is no other way around this ot

    “Can I speak to him?” Adelie asked Carter, as he stood in front of my office door. I looked up as I felt Falcon’s stare on me. He shook his head when I remained sitting behind my desk.“He asked not to be interrupted,” Carter answered her.“I need to speak to him,” Adelie said.“I’m sorry, Princess, his Majesty does not wish to speak to you,” Carter said. Kai had been in a foul mood ever since last night when he left the castle at one a.m., to go check on the border patrols. His mood was no better this morning and Carter wondered what happened, especially when Kai gave instructions that he didn’t want to see or speak to Adelie.“Fine, will you at least tell him that I was here?” Adelie asked.“Of course, Princess, you should rest before the dinner ceremony tonight,” Carter said to her. He had no intentions of upsetting Kai even more than he already was and if that meant pissing off Adelie, then he’d just deal with it.I sat in my office and listened to their exchange. I was glad that

    Tala kept watching Adelie, the emotions that went through her, then Adelie shivered. Tala was patient, waiting for it all to sink into her mind, so she could really understand what Kai went through.“I didn’t know,” Adelie said, as she looked down. It was almost too much to know all that about him, to know the torture he must have gone through, and what she’d just said to him had to have cut him deeply.“The story goes on, he mourned her for two years, blaming himself. He withdrew from all of us, and then Death told him about you, so yet again, Kai did the right thing and he went off by himself to save you, and imprinted on you; you both fought the imprinting. He didn’t want to go through that pain of losing someone again, that’s why he fought it. But as time went on, he couldn’t keep on fighting, and he fell in love with you while you ignored him; but he kept at it, giving you time to get to know him, and finally, you gave in too,” Tala told her.“I remember being saved, just not hi

    I was in my sitting room drinking from the bottle of Scotch when Adelie knocked on the door. I didn’t particularly want to see her. I knew that I overreacted in the restaurant but it still irked me that she didn’t include me. It was my child too. It felt like something she would do on purpose to irritate me, something she could use against me and it pissed me off.“Come in,” I said when she knocked again. I was sitting with my back to her and I didn’t stand up when she walked inside.“I just wanted to give you this,” she said as she stood behind me.“Leave it on the table,” I said, not moving.“Kai, I didn’t mean to exclude you,” she said to me.“Didn’t you? Almost all of your actions are designed to either humiliate or hurt me,” I said to her, and stood up.“What is it that you want from me?” she asked me, exasperated.“I want things to be the way they were!” I said angrily.“It’s not my fault I don’t remember you!” she said, angrily too.“I know, it’s just frustrating,” I said in a
