The ride to the party was a quiet one. We sat in the backseat of his rolls Royce phantom, the only thing separating us was the armrest in the middle of the backseat.

My nerves were on edge. I tried to bite back the need to bite my perfectly manicured nails. Don't get me wrong! This wasn't my first time out in public gatherings, but it was my first time doing so in the wolf world. I had spent five years hiding away from them, like shadow. But now here I was, about to be the centre of attention.

I stole a glance at Jacobi, and I was startled to see that he was watching me. His right hand was resting calmly on the window, with his thumb lightly grazing his lower lip. A strand of his dark hair had come undone from the slicked back hairstyle he had adorned a while ago. The light from the moon casted a sort of glow that made him more surreal. He was majestically beautiful. Those were the words I could describe him with.

Our eyes met, and once again I was sucked into those endless dark orbs,

    "Oh" he bowed slightly and I did thesame "it's a pleasure to meet you Miss Claire smith""Like wise" I said. Jacobi removed his hand from my waist and I felt a little bit dejected. He handed me a glass of champagne he had taken from a waiter walking by."Your majesty!" I drew in a steady breath immediately as I heard the sound of her voice. How could I forget.Liliana walked forward with a sort of feral grace that made it clear that she was no prey. Her confidence gaining everyone's attention. She was beautiful, I'd have to say.She wore a purple dress that hugged every curve of her body like a second skin. Her hips sashaying with every step she took. She bowed her head "Your majesty I thought you wouldn't make it" she said, rubbing her hand against Jacobi's arm. He gently pushed her hand away in a casual way, that wouldn't draw too much attention. If she felt embarrassed or hurt by his action, she didn't show it."I decided last minute" he said with a stoic expression.Three more m

    Liliana took a long sip of her drink. Throwing her head back as she gulped down everything in one go."Slow down Lils, that's like you're seventh glass" Marcus chastised, trying to prevent her from taking another glass from a waiter."It's none of your goddamn business" she said, her words slurring a little. Do wolves get drunk or is this mixed with something?I stared at my own glass and contemplated drinking it or not."I googled you" she said with a glare."What?" I replied in surprise "I. Googled. You" she replied sharply " and you won't believe the vile things I found about your sorry ass" a wicked grin was spreading across her face, making my heart beat even faster.My throat went dry. All colour slowly draining from my face. The things online were not true but yet I still felt like I had been caught in a crime.It had been five years. Five years since I left that life behind. But because of some stupid shit called Internet, it would always come back to hunt me.She laughed but

    CLAIRE'S POVI had never been so grateful for a slit in my life. I ran as fast as my human legs could carry me. Anywhere would be fine. Anywhere but here.Never piss off a wolf!If only I had listened. The panic I felt was enough to pump adrenaline into my veins. I couldn't see where I was going, but I knew I was heading for the door.I ran until I went headfirst into a wall. No it wasn't a wall. It was Jacobi. "Relax" he whispered as he stroked my hair and I immediately felt my fear slowly dissipate.I was keenly aware that everyone was watching as I buried my head in his chest. I was safe at last.He pulled back and pulled me behind him. He held my hand, wrapping his fingers around mine. My heart skipped a beat as I felt a thrill move throw my body, from the point where our hands connected. I blushed.I stared at our joined hands, his muscular and big hands engulfing my tiny and slender hands. I wanted that hand to be all over me, touching and exploring every inch of my skin. Sig

    (A FEW MINUTES EARLIER)JACOBI'S POV"Excuse me for a second" I said immediately as Zander gave me the news. My gaze lingered on her. I contemplated taking her outside with me, I didn't want to leave her alone even for a second.Her full plump lips spread into a reassuring smile, easing my mind. Fuck! She's so beautiful. She'll be fine, I thought. I walked out with Zander behind me. I was pissed."Give me the details" I ordered the moment we got out of earshot. The only place that was close to being soundproof was zanders car. This wasn't something I wanted people to be aware of."We found three of them lurking around the edge of your mansion your majesty, they had a dozen pile of wolfsbane with them" he said "How the hell did they get wolfsbane" I muttered in anger.Wolfsbane was the only thing that could render a wolf powerless, and three rogues had a dozen of them.Zander had abruptly cut off my plans for the night to inform me that rogues, had been found roaming around the bord

    The ride back to Jacobi's mansion was more silent than the one to the party. There was a bit of tension in the air, with him still fuming with rage and me feeling like shit. So much for announcing me to the wolf world. I scoffed.We got to the mansion and despite the fact I was now living here, it was still a breathtaking site to behold."Claire wait" Jacobi called out, his palm gently but firmly holding my wrist. I was about opening the car door and stepping out."What is it?" I asked, my eyes searching his handsome face for an answer.He gently let my wrist go, putting his hand into the breast pocket of his suit as he brought out a tiny velvet box. He handed it to me.My slender fingers curled around the box as I took it from his palm. I hesitantly opened it and an audible gasp left my lips the moment I saw what was inside.It was a ring made with an emerald stone in the middle. I held it up with my fingers as it glowed brighter in the moonlight."It's gorgeous" I whispered without

    The light from the opened window flooded into my room, making me groan. I turned over and covered my face with the duvet."Mommy wake up" Kayden squealed while shaking me. I groaned and turned over to the other side."Come on mommy wake up! I want to eat pink pancakes!" Kayden yelled."Alright I'm coming" I sat up on the bed and stared at my beautiful boy "but first, we've got to do one thing" I grinnedKayden's eyes widened in excitement "No! No!" He jumped up from the bed but I quickly held his tiny hands, pulling him back and began tickling him."You woke the grizzly bear, so you deserve the grizzly paws" I said, tickling him all overKayden squealed with so much joy "stop! Mommy! Stop!" He said in between fits of laughter"The bear won't stop until the magic words are spoken" I said making my voice hoarse and trying to imitate a bear."Okay I'll say it! I'll say it" he squealed and I stopped tickling him."Go on little bear" I urged with a fake angry face"The grizzly bear is bea

    I rolled my eyes at how ridiculous every one was being. Is it so hard to believe that Kayden is mine!"She's human. How is any of this possible" Evelyn said in wonder. Her grey eyes suddenly landed on me, watching me intently as I moved about in the kitchen.Bastien suddenly took a loud whiff of the air, his eyes widened and his lips parted slightly "I can't believe I'm an uncle" he mutteredJacobi raised a questioning brow at him and bastien completely ignored him. Bastien stood up and walked towards Kayden who was now seated on the kitchen isle watching me work."Hey Kayden" bastien said cautiously. Kayden's gaze moved from the bowl I was holding to bastien.Kayden giggled and turned to stare at Jacobi."This is Uncle bastien" Jacobi said softly, his hand reaching out to touch Kayden's hair in an encouraging manner."Uncle?" Kayden turned to stare at his new found uncle and then he smiled "I have an uncle!" He screamed cheerfully, raising his hands in the air and throwing his hea

    I felt incredibly angry and I wanted to smack something, or someone rather.Alpha Duncan's words began to ring in my head again. Stay calm Claire, you do not want to upset a wolf."Name your price and I'll give it to you and ten you can walk away" Evelyn saidI sighed "do you think money is my problem?" I asked, I was trying really hard not to raise my voice Evelyn raised a perfectly arched brow at me "I know a lot of things is your problem" she put her hands into her pocket and brought out her phone "I'll get the contract ready so that you can sign. Jacobi will obviously have custody of Kayden and you can visit occasionally......""You've got to be fucking with me right now" I interrupted her "do you hear yourself. You are a fucking hypocrite evelyn" this felt like a dream to me.Evelyn shook her head "when Liliana called me and said that there was a woman trying to squeeze her way into Jacobi's bed, I didn't believe.

    Liliana pulled away from me and she chuckled as her slender fingers wiped a tear away from her cheek.She exhaled loudly "I feel so much better now" "Liliana has always had a pure heart" alpha Winchester said staring at his daughter "her heart is so fragile. Isn't that right your majesty"Jacobi only replied with a subtle grunt.Liliana blushed "I only do what's right daddy. It's not a big deal. Besides....." she wrapped her arm around Jacobi's forearm and I felt a pang of jealousy move through my chest "his majesty has always taught me to be kind to everyone despite their status"Did she just insult me?"Always modest" alpha Winchester said staring proudly at his daughter. Liliana bent her head shyly as her cheeks turned red. She giggled.Jacobi pulled away from her. Just like he had done at the party, it was so subtle and it didn't seem like he was brushing her off rudely. But more like gently pushing a child away from ones embrace."We have a lot to discuss edward" Jacobi said He

    Despite how angry I felt, I wanted to touch him. I wanted to caress his face and place my lips against his. I wanted to run my fingers through his dark hair as he came undone in my arms. I wanted him. I wanted Jacobi."Your majesty....."The sound of Beatrice voice made me jerk back.I cleared my throat and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear."What is it" he said impatientlyI glanced at his face. There was no hint of any emotion at all, it was as if......he hadn't felt what I had felt. Like I was the only one.I felt stupid.He doesn't like you that way Claire. What he said didn't mean anything. To him, you're just the mother of his child."Alpha Winchester of the Moon Hill pack is here to see you" Beatrice said with her head slightly bowed"Let him in. I'll be in my office" "He's not alone your majesty" she quickly addedHe scrunched his brow together "Who else is here?"It seems he wasn't expecting anyone other than alpha Winchester. "He's here with his daughter" she said

    Was that supposed to make me feel better cause it didn't make me feel better.I made a snorting sound at the back of my throat "How are you so sure that I am the only one? He's Been alive far longer than even your great great grand mother" I said harshlyI saw her visibly wince at my words. A pang of guilt went through my chest, she doesn't deserve how rudely I was speaking but then again........."I know because this ring is a family heirloom. I've been working with his majesty for ten years now and believe me when I say he hasn't given it to anyone else"Well it doesn't matter anyways. What matters is taking it off."I'm gonna go meet him to take it off" I said with determination in my eyes. I didn't want to be controlled by anyone."Wait!" Evelyn held my wrist, pulling me back "you can't talk to him when you're this mad. His majesty is not someone you can just barge in on. He's feared for a reason"My eyes flickered slightly. She was right and I hated it. I took a deep breath and

    The thought of Jacobi with Liliana made me angry. No! The thought of him with anyone else infuriated me. But why should I feel that way? He's not mine and I'm not his either. I'm just his secret baby mama that everyone looks down on."It may sound like that but it's the opposite for royal wolves" Evelyn continued, oblivious to the turmoil going on inside my head.I pursed my lips and sat up straight. My eyes were glued to Evelyn's lips as she spoke, I wanted to pay attention as much as possible. I didn't want to think of something......other"How is it the opposite for royals?" I asked"They may choose their mates but it's only once. Royals are gifted with mortality, they don't age." She saidI nod my head. When Jacobi had made a hint of how old he was, I was beyond shocked. He looked nothing like his age and that was just mind-blowing for a human like me."But the downside of this is just......." Evelyn inhaled loudly as she spoke the next words "they live forever but...... their ma

    The next couple of days went by smoothly. Jacobi and bastien were always busy with something and so that meant, Evelyn was always with me and Kayden.She would occasionally step out to join Jacobi and bastien with whatever work they were doing but she usually comes back in less than three hours. I was thinking about finding a new job since I'm no longer at alpha Duncan's pack anymore. Back then, I was trying to hide my son from everyone and everything. But now that Jacobi is now in the picture, I could finally build a career and be more than a mother.With my credentials, finding a job won't be very hard and I have work experience. Evelyn frowned "his majesty is not gonna like it at all"We were both in a swimsuit bathing in the sun, laying down close to the swimming pool.I made a snorting sound "no one is asking for his permission. It's my life and I decide what I do with it""Why do you wanna work anyways" she flipped over to lay on her stomach, placing her hands underneath her
