Waking up, I get ready and walk down. "Sage and Lyra are busy this morning.""Thank you, Ash. That's fine." I smile at him and walk through the halls. I stop when I see Kellan and Darius sitting with Bailey and a small boy.Pushing it out of my mind, I walk past and go into the main room. Sitting, I eat, and their family talks to me. They seem nice enough, but I feel like I'm missing something. Soon after, Bailey walks in with the boy. I watch as she sits next to me.Smiling at her, I continue to eat."It's nice to officially meet you, Xenia." I turn to her and smile."You too, Bailey.""This is Quinn, my son." She smiles at me."Hello, Quinn." I give him a small wave and watch as the table clears, leaving me alone with her."I apologise if it seems like I'm taking up all the prince and king's time; we just have a lot to catch up on.""No apology needed." I smile at her."We ended things quickly, which I now understand was wrong." I nod but don't reply. "Kellan is such a sweetheart. H
I smile at Kellan. This time, we cooked without a food fight. There was far less mess this time than before. He’s standing, looking at me, amused. His body is pushing mine back against the side as he kisses me.“Ahm.” My head falls hearing William. “I’ve made excuse after excuse. You two need to split up.” Kellan pouts at me. “Kellan, after lunch, you were not meant to spend time with her until tomorrow.”“I didn’t get to see her at lunch or breakfast, though.” He grins at me.“Please listen. I get in trouble when you don’t.”We both laugh. “It’s fine. Go.” I know he can’t stay with me.“Fine, but if you have any issues, you should tell me straight away.” Kellan turns and looks at William.“You know I will.”“No, I mean it, William; if she says shit, tell me.”“Kellan, it’s fine. I won’t believe her, you explained.” Now that I know everything, I won’t be as affected by it. Sighing, he nods and walks out.Standing, I walk out.“That child isn’t theirs, Xenia.” William looks at me.“You
Darius is guiding me through the palace. Walking into a room, I see Kellan. He grins at me."And I got told off for breaking the rules.""Don't start. We should have the results soon." Darius looks at him turning I stare."How?""I'm sorry, I had to make it look like I accepted it, so she trusted me. I got a maid to do it while she was with you. I just didn't want to get you involved."I don't answer. I just move and sit next to Kellan. Darius sits on the other side of me."So now what?" I look at him and hear the door. I watch as Bailey walks in, followed by Grant. Why do I feel there is more to this?"Darius?" Kellan looks at him, so he doesn't know either."Sit, please," Darius speaks, and they move to sit down. "Right now, they will be bringing me the results back. Something does not add up. You defending her and bringing her here makes no sense." He looks at Grant and then turns to Bailey. "You refuse to take the test, a test that could prove you weren't lying. Then you are also
Standing, I look around myself. It's beautiful, everything is white. The snow, however, hasn't fallen for a few days. So I'm sure that very soon it will all disappear. I haven't seen the palace grounds without snow."How are you feeling?" William looks at me."Fine, I think.""You seem to be doing well at separating your feelings from Winters." He smiles, and I nod. I am; Winter gets jealous easily, but I don't. Winter also is far more protective than I am, almost in an excessive way."How are things with Kellan?" That I want to know. I watch as Lyra walks in with Yori. They are smiling, so does that mean he's stopped running?"We're talking. I agreed that him calling me dad may be a little weird. We came to an agreement. We stay how we were."Turning, I smile. "You were like a father to him anyway, William.""Those were his words. The king rarely took time to get to know them. It was myself who was there, who taught them football, he taught them to shift, how to control their wolves.
The wedding has gone amazing, and Kellan did well with keeping William distracted. I've noticed he hasn't had time to come back to watch me since Kellan introduced him to some people.My arms are wrapped around Darius's neck as I smile up at him."It's getting late, you need sleep." I laugh at Kellan as I feel him stop behind me. "Well, I tried behaving. That's the main thing." He laughs, and I nod.I don't want to sleep. Going to sleep means today ends, and despite the last few days, today was amazing. It was relaxed despite it being the wedding. I know soon after this, I will have to go back in front of the cameras and such.So, right now, I don't want today to end. Darius' finger pushes my chin up, so I face him. He's smiling at me, and I don't like it. "Should you not, I don't know. At least say hi to Sage and others alone. Without us?"I should, but I don't want to. "No, I will see them tomorrow in the real world."Kellan laughs behind me. "This is the real world.""No, this is p
Darius is grinning at me, and Kellan, being smart, is keeping his distance."It was a joke." Kellan laughs and looks at me."You're lucky that I'm the size of a..." I glare at him, and they both laugh."See, even you say it. You can't kill me for saying it when you do." Kellan sits laughing."I'm allowed to say I'm the size of a whale. You're not."His eyes roll."Okay, Kellan, get here; she won't beat you up, I swear." I turn to Darius. "Like you could move enough to anyway. Do it after you have the babies, please."Well, he gave me permission. I nod and grin."You remember the topics, right?" I nod at him. I know which topics to discuss and which to avoid. Darius nods at the cameras."I would like to start by saying that everything has officially been cleared up. Hence, we are doing this today. All the wolves are back where they belong. It became easier the more she did it. Tonight, all the information regarding the late king, the underground, The Wolf Game, and such will be release
I sit and watch them, Kellan is behind me with his body wrapped around mine."Tired?" I look at him, and he nods. "Blame Darius.""I do! We told him it wouldn't work." He laughs, and I watch Darius walk in. The babies are in their chairs, finally settled."I'm sorry, okay?" He looks at us, amused."So, bedrooms?" He thought giving them each a room would work, we objected but agreed to put the girls in one, and boys in another, purely to prove a point."Okay, I was wrong. Keep them together in one room for now." He sits down, and we laugh."I told you it wasn't ideal while they were still young." He didn't want to believe it."I'm tired. Stop picking on me. Apparently, tiredness plus me equals dumbness and loss of brain cells. I don't even know why I suggested it because I know it was stupid."Yet he did, actually, he suggested each having their own room. I can understand, though; they are four months, no longer tiny babies, but still, separating them at night was a bad idea.I watch a
Today has been long. I still can't believe they are sixteen. That is something I had no idea about. We had breakfast together, then the cameras arrived, and for the first time they where here and filmed them shifting. I hadn't realised at first that the cameras never caught Kellan or Darius in their wolf form until they were much older. Apparently, that's because they weren't allowed to see or show any footage before they had at least turned sixteen. After they had shifted, each one did an interview, their first official interview. Asher spoke about his plans to stay studying, Elijah spoke about focusing on becoming part of the community, Storm explained she plans to focus on her magic and practice it, and Aurelia spoke about becoming a doctor. They each kept the audience captivated, talking about their futures and how their magic was coming along. It turns out that each one of them can do something different. Elijah can heal people, Aurelia can give people wolves who were born with
