LOGINThe morning came quickly. I looked at my phone and it said 8 am. My body still woke up like clock work at 8. That was the time I would get up to give mommy her medicine and get ready for school. I get up and finally take a look around. My room was beautiful. I had a canopy bed set with a gorgeous dark brown mahogany bed frame that had a large bed post on the four corners. The floors were also wood, but a beautiful forest green, fluffy rug covered most of it. The colors in my room were dark greens of various shades and burgundy. The drapes of the canopy were burgundy, and so were the sheer curtains that lay underneath the green blackout curtains. They lined the large windows that connected to large double doors that led out to a balcony. I turned and saw I had my own book shelf. Study nook, completed with a desktop in the corner, and my own bathroom. This room was truly beautiful. I take a quick peek out on the balcony, and the view was breathtaking. Trees as far as the eye could see. A beautiful garden lay underneath my balcony and miles of grass, with a clear path for hikes and walks. I took a deep breath in and caught the scent of water, as if water was nearby.
I'm gonna have to ask dad about that. I quickly take a shower, brush my teeth, and wash my face. I pulled my coily hair up in a messy bun and left out two coils to frame my face under the legs of my glasses. I put on a large graphic T that displayed some of my favorite anime characters and black leggings with some socks. I grabbed my phone and headed downstairs. Again, there was another big man by my door. He looked down at me and smiled. "Good morning, little one." I smiled up at him. "Good morning, but I'm not that little." His smiled. "To me, you are." I wanted to protest, but I couldn't help but notice the huge gap in size. I narrowed my eyes at him and pouted. "You've been eating way too many vegetables, dude." He chuckled deeply, if that's what you wanna call it. He had a kind but protective aura, and he smelled of sandalwood. He felt grounded, like a dependable post. I like that. I smiled brightly at him and then grabbed his hand. He seemed surprised by my actions, but then he relaxed around my hand. "What's your name?" "My name is Brody." "You look like a Brody." He smiled. "What's yours?" "I'm Kwen." He raised his brow at me. I rolled my eyes. "Kwenali, but my friends call me Kwen. We can be friends, right?" I truly liked Brody and liked being around him. "Absolutely." He had such a gentle face, and I knew I made the right decision. "Do you want me to show you to the dining room for breakfast?" "Yes, please." We turned and began walking down the hall and down the steps. This place was freaking huge. I'm starting to realize everything had to be big for the huge people who lived here. Most of the men we walked by were mountains, and the women weren't as wide by most were tall. The guy from last night saw me and Brody walking hand in hand, and he looked as if he saw a ghost. "What the hell? Has hell frozen over? No, wait... this is a dream." Brody groaned and rolled his eyes. I was confused. The guy looked at me and smiled wildly. "How did you get this tuff as nails statue to look somewhat alive?" He all but laughed out loud. His laugh was definitely contagious. I was too out of it last night to notice, but his aura is bright. I mean, he's like the sunshine. He smells of cinnamon and orange. His scent is as vibrant as he is. I smiled and looked between the two. "I like Brody just the way he is. If he's silent with you, that means he doesn't like you." I gave him a cheeky grin. He feigned hurt by clutching his chest. "Gasp! And here I thought you were a sweet girl. Has he rubbed off on you already?" I laughed and shook my head. "I guess so. Come on, Brody. Let's leave him to himself." Brody nodded at me, and we began to walk around him. "Hey, wait for me!" He yelled after us. He caught up to us and slipped his hand in my other one. I looked up at him. "What can I say? I was jealous. If the dark knight here can hold such a beauty's hand, why can't I... and I met you first, so there!" I chuckled at his antics, and we all walked to the dining room. It was filled with people bustling about. I was gonna sit anywhere, but they were taking me up front. I didn't want to sit there. I knew everyone was gonna be watching me... and that's exactly what they did. All eyes were on me. I squeezed my two guards' hands tighter, and they squeezed mine back in reassurance. They seated me at the head table where I'm sure the Alpha and his family sits. Which is where I sit now, considering the Alpha is my daddy. They sit with me for a second and talk amongst themselves. I guess they were waiting for my dad to come. A large plate of food was brought out to me. It had French toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes on one plate. I had a small plate of cut-up fruit and a glass of organs juice. I looked at the mountain of food and wondered who the heck was gonna eat all that? I looked to Brody. "Umm, who's this for?" "It's for you, of course. You can start eating whenever you like." "But... there's so much of it. No one could eat this much!" I was taken aback by such a ridiculous idea. My two guards just laughed. "Trust me, this is a light serving, if anything. Whatever you don't finish, you don't have to eat." My second guard told me. I frowned. "I'm sorry, but what's your name?" He smiled. "Ahhh, so you want to know this ole handsome devil's name, eh?" I smiled and nodded. "Call me Kyle. What's yours? Wait. I got it! Kwen!" I gasped. "How'd you know?" He chuckled. "I was guarding you last night, Kwen. Of course, I've been told your name. So has Brody." I looked at Brody, and he had an irritated look on his face staring at Kyle. "Did you already know my name, Brody?" "Yes, I did. But I figured you would have wanted to introduce yourself to me personally. Unlike some people with huge mouths, I wanted to have you tell me about you." I smiled. "Thanks." He nodded. I turned back to Kyle, and he had a triumphant look on his face. "It's not nice to tease people, Kyle. You should know better." He started pouting. "Unbelievable." Kyle dramatically said, throwing his hands up in the air but keeping a smirk on his face. "Ok. Ok. Forgive me, dear princess." I laughed. "Ok. But only if you finish off what I don't finish eating. It's wasteful to throw it away." He and Brody both smiled at me. "Say no more. I'd love to share your food." That was the first thing Kyle said that was genuine, and his smile was gentle. My guards were both super cute. Kyle and Brody were handsome for different reasons. Kyle has this boysih charm about him. He has curly, fluffy, dirty blonde hair, with beautiful blue ocean eyes. His skin perfectly tan, and his muscles matched his large and wide frame. Brody was more of a man's man. He had a rugged look. He, too, was tan, with studs in his ear. He had a full beard but a bald head. He was more muscular than Kyle and a tad bit taller. If you didn't know any better, his protective demeanor could be mistaken for intimidating. I'm starting to believe being attractive was also a wolf trait I didn't know about. I began eating and talking with both of them for a good 10 minutes, when I high-pitched voice cut through our tranquil moment. "What are you doing?" I look over across the table and see a little girl. She was about my height. I guess you could consider me short for a 12 year old. I was about 5'. She had porcelain skin, with blonde hair that came down in full curls. She had the prettiest gray eyes and a button nose. All in all, she was a very pretty girl, but her scent didn't mimic her outside appearance. She has a dingy aura. Her scent is a salty musk. How can a girl so pretty smell like this. My face scrunched up from it. I looked at Kyle and Brody, and it seemed only I could smell it. I looked back at the girl, then continued eating. "Umm, excuse me! I'm talking to you!" I put my fork down and looked at the little girl. "Uhh, no, you're not. You're yelling, and I don't respond to that." I went right back to eating. Kyle and Brody both looked at me then at each other. I shrugged my shoulders. The little girl shrieked. "Don't you know who I am?" The people around us stopped talking and started looking our way. I gave her a bored look. "No, and I really don't care. Whoever you may be doesn't justify your behavior. My mama said, "Use your inside voice to speak and your hands to yell. So I advise you to keep your voice to a low volume." Everyone was shocked, silenced by my words. "My daddy is the Alpha, and you're gonna be in sooo much trouble when he comes in here." She smirked at me. My eyes went wide. I looked at Brody and Kyle, then back at the girl. Ahhhh... so this is one of those moments my aunt Mia would call "The Fuckery."My son and I were returning home, back to our pack. Blackbloods Pack is considered one of the strongest packs on this continent. I rule over my dominion with an iron fist. If you show weakness, many will see you as weak. I never thought I would ever seek anyone else out after my mate passed away, giving birth to my son. That's not to say I don't have my way with the she-wolves here. I do, but it's to fulfill my needs. I was actually glad she passed. I didn't want her to be used as leverage against me or to make me weak. Her dying was a blessing in disguise. I could do and move freely without guilt. I wasn't looking for Kwen when I came across her. Nothing slips through my fingers, yet she did. She went unnoticed for years. When she walked into the office that day, I thought I was to be greeted by an insignificant being. I was wrong. Though she smelled human, she held her father's gene of authority. A true alpha's daughter, unlike that weak thing, Sierra. I immediately knew Luna Lisa h
I almost forgot this girl even existed. I sat there and took a couple of breaths."I swear, why does she always pop up where she's not wanted?"Kera said out loud. Sierra frowned."Nobody asked for your opinion. I was talking to my daddy!!"My neck snapped towards Kera, and she looked like she'd been slapped. I looked back at Sierra."You may wanna cool it. Kera is not the one to mess with, and neither am I. I haven't done a thing to your mama... yet. But best believe it's still in the works. I'd advise you to tread lightly."I said. Her frown deepened."I DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING!! WHERE IS MY MOM? I KNOW YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING TO HER!!"I was already sick of her yelling."Look, Sierra. I haven't done a thing to your mother. But she has done plenty to many of us, including our father. Instead of being angry with me, you should be mad at her. She's in the position she's in, right now, because of her. And I can almost guarantee Ava played a major part in this, as well. So you have two
I started hearing noise around me as I tried to sleep.'Kwen. Wake up. Our mate, Psy's mate and our brother are here.''You've got to be kidding me right now? Halo, tell them to leave.'She chuckled.'I can't.'I groaned inwardly. I focused on the noises in the room. My brain was still trying to wake up, so what was being said was incoherent to me, but it was still pissing me off."If y'all are using my room for a place of communion, I will murder each one of you."I said out loud, cutting into their conversation. I slowly opened my eyes to see exactly who Halo said was here. My eyes quickly found Cersai's, and he gazed at me in want. It took my breath away. I quickly diverted my eyes and stretched. I felt something on me and jumped, forgetting Psy was laying in bed with me. I looked down, and she was still sound asleep. I swear this girl would sleep through an apocalypse."I tried waking you by knocking, but neither of you was of this world."Danny said, smirking, flicking my forehea
I didn't get much sleep. It was already early morning, when I finally got to my room, after my run-in with Kwen and Sebastian. I felt like a jackass. It seems that lately, I haven't been able to do anything right by Kwen. The more I try to fix things, the worse they become. It was about 10 am when I finally quit trying to sleep. I couldn't get her off my mind. The way she looked at me, now, read hurt and disappointment. The words she spoke is what really has me bothered. She wanted Sebastian yesterday, and the only reason he didn't get to have her is because he denied her. It made my blood boil with the thought of him having her in any capacity, and Reign roared out in disgust.'SHE WILL NEVER BE HIS!! SHE IS MINE! I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD HAVE ACCEPT HER. NOW SHE'S OUT LOOKING AT OTHET MALES!!'My head pounded with a headache. Ever since the small conversation I had with Sebastian a few hours ago, Reign has been on end.Flashback: a few hours ago...We both stood there and watched Kwen d
I hopped into another quick shower and threw on some short shorts and a long t-shirt. I braided my hair into two big braids, then laid back on my bed. As soon as my back hit the bed, a knock was heard at my door. I knew exactly who it was. I got up and opened the door to see Psy standing there."Talk. I'm gonna hop in your shower, and I'm stealing one of your shirts. Go."She said as she stepped passed me, taking off her dress from the ball and stripping to get in the shower. She grabbed one of my claws and clamped her hair up."You will not believe what just happened, Psy.""Does it involve a certain prince?"Psy asked, walking into the bathroom. I walked over to my drawer and pulled out a long black shirt for her to wear after she got out. "Yes, but I mean before that."She stopped in her tracks and looked back at me."Before that?"She said as she stepped into the hot shower. I pulled out a wash cloth and a towel for her and walked it over. She held out her hand from the shower, g
I left the conference room to go check up on Angel and Logan. I wanted to make sure she was safe and that Logan hadn't completely lost his mind due to worry. I made it to the room to find Logan in bed with Angel wrapped in his arms. She was fine but was left here for observation. This felt like deja vu. The moment Kwen got here, she ended up in a hospital bed. Now, Angel is following in her footsteps. I opened the door, and Logan was immediately on high alert. I waved at him, and he relaxed back into Angel. I walked over to him and kissed his cheek, and he gave me a small smile."How's our girl?"He looked down at Angel, who was nestled into his chest."She's doing alright. How's Kwen? Daniel opened up his link to me, and I heard everything that was said. I know she's probably stressed out right now, especially with Angel being here."I sighed and sat in the chair closet to him."Yeah. I'm gonna go talk to her soon. She has a lot on her mind, and I wanted to give her some space.""Yea
