His Hidden Warrior Queen #Chapter 13: “Proper Etiquette”
Melinda’s POVThe next day, Stephanie officially joined the class of interns, which meant it probably wasn’t a coincidence that it was also their first day of etiquette lessons.I had spent the evening before going over the curriculum with a growing sense of dread. We were to learn perfect posture and be able to recite noble genealogy. We were to have impeccable table manners (Who knew there were so many different types of spoons?) and be able to serve in the French, Russian, American, and family styles. We were to be able to dance in several ballroom genres, including the waltz, the two-step, and the tango.We were to speak well and know just what topics were and weren’t acceptable in various situations. We were to learn the basics of giving a speech and proposing a toast. We were to know how to match foods and wines, how to serve tea, how to behave on social media, and how to have our photo taken.It made my head spin.For some reason, manners involving food took priority, and we me
His Hidden Warrior Queen #Chapter 12: “Outsider”
Melinda POVThere was actually something refreshing in Vera’s newly open hostility. There was no more pretense at tolerance, and when we met each other for a match that I easily won, Vera sneered and called me a kiss-up who had probably traded my body for fencing lessons.I just laughed. “Too bad you’re not as good with a sword as you are with that mouth.”Seeing me in Vera’s poor favor and after the punishments from the day before, everyone steered clear of me. Unlike the others who easily traded sparring partners, I kept having to find someone who hadn’t been matched.Beta Posset noticed, however, and shouted at us to stop being precious little omegas.“Losers go to the right, winners to the left!” he ordered. “I see you skip someone you don’t want to lose to, it’s a demerit.”My next partner was a skilled swordsman, and though I was irritated at myself for losing the round, I knew I had learned a great deal from the encounter. My end-of-round salute was respectful.“Melinda,” I sai
His Hidden Warrior Queen #Chapter 11: “Punishment”
Kay’s POVI wasn’t thrilled I had to order Posset to give Vera and Melinda three days of duty in the stables as punishment for the incident, but the intern manual, website, and honor code all spelled it out quite clearly: internal fighting by members of the Royal Guard was not allowed.I watched as Vera’s expression changed, and I knew she was regretting the little show of heroism I knew full well she’d only put on for my benefit. Melinda’s face was impassive. If anything, she looked a little relieved by my sentencing of her punishment. Did I think she was going to be kicked out for defending Susan, an Omega kitchen maid?“Well, I must beg of you not to let this ruin the day,” my fated mate said, and I turned to Stephanie with a smile, impressed anew at her poise and beauty. I really had lucked out with her in the looks department, even though she wasn’t my usual type, somewhat vapid, though I didn’t blame them for it. The world demanded little of beautiful people except that they sta
His Hidden Warrior Queen #Chapter 10: “Future Luna”
Melinda POVStephanie looked, in a word, resplendent. With her high-piled bun and flawless skin, she had always shone in powder pink, and her floor-length, sleeveless dress was accented with tastefully applied diamonds. Next to her, Prince Kai almost looked like an accessory, though an incredibly impressive one.Everyone went silent and stared. Kai nodded in satisfaction, and I could feel Stephanie’s smugness like a cold front sweeping down from the mountains. I met her eyes just briefly, flashing with contempt, before she smiled winningly at the gathering.“This is my fated mate,” Kai told them. “Stephanie Hobbs of the Hobbs Pack, daughter of Alpha Caleb Hobbs. After her three months of training with you, she will be wed to me and become your Luna.”There was a beat, then Beta Vincent raised his sword. “Hail and well met, Stephanie Hobbs!”“Hail and well met,” all the trainees repeated, though I could only mouth the words. I didn’t understand. How was Stephanie Kai’s fated mate? How
His Hidden Warrior Queen #Chapter 9: “Fated Mate”
Melinda POVAfter a breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, sausage, and fresh fruit, the interns gathered in the hallway leading to the practice field to get their mail. It was passed out only every other day with the understanding that cell phones were permissible for emergencies only. It was an effective way to focus their attention, so of course most of them complained about it, much to my deeply hidden amusement.“My parents have probably written another letter about how they’re bragging about me to all their friends,” a male Beta was telling someone near me. “News of that cut right off the bat is everywhere, and they can be so obnoxious about things.”“Yeah, I’m sure you’re heartbroken at how they brag about you,” his companion, a female Alpha, said in what I assumed was friendly mockery. “It’s almost as bad as when they talk about what an Alpha Prime in the making I am.”“In your dreams,” the Beta grumbled.I made sure to smile and to squash my envy of the easy camaraderie of the t
His Hidden Warrior Queen #Chapter 8: “A Sparring Partner”
At dinner, I ate and drank and didn’t bother responding to any of the jeers sent my way. All of the recruits finished up and headed to the dorms for the night. I tracked down Vincent. “Do you mind if I use the training grounds tonight?”Vincent studied me, and then nodded. “Don’t hurt yourself.”“I won’t,” I promised.Heading outside, I ran through the obstacle course again. I purposefully slowed myself down, going through the obstacles at a pace where I could pay attention to the obstacle itself instead of my own body.Once I felt like I understood the obstacles, I sped up, timing myself, comparing it to the times that Vincent took of us earlier. I didn’t stop until I was doing as good or better than the other recruits.I was just about to start again when I got the feeling that I was being watched. I looked over and saw Prince Kai at the edge of the training grounds. His eyes were bright, intense…almost excited.“Your Highness,” I choked out and bowed. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean t
