Rains' P.O.V. When Odett and I got right outside the door of the kitchen, I heard the servants standing around gossiping about the attack and how I'll be a horrible Queen because instead of coming back to the castle to help take care of the women and children, thanks to my wolf hearing. Apparently, I ran and hid and even left my bastard child with the orphan mother. According to them, I was a coward. I looked down as Odett looked up at me, and I knew she heard it all too. All I could do was shake my head in response as I squeezed her hand to reassure her that everything was okay. "How dare they assume anything! And they even have the guts to talk about our daughter? We can't let them talk about us like that!" Dosha growls in my head. "We will let them believe what they want. They will find out the truth eventually. We do not owe them an explanation." I tell her as we walk into the room to see only two servants preparing the snacks for our
Zions' P.O.V. After interrogating the rogues, I make my way out of the dungeon and into the basement, where I use the sink to clean myself up, wash the blood off and change my shirt. Orian walks over to me with a scowl, and I can tell something's wrong. "What's wrong?" I ask him. "I'm worried about how Jessica will handle knowing that her old Alpha has just disappeared with his son and his son's mate. I don't understand what his game plan is." He answers. "Well, thanks to our prisoners, we now know Alpha Max was the one that gave the signal for the attack. We also know the attacks had been planned before they knew about Jessica, Rain, and Odett being here." I say. "I don't understand why he would leave his Luna behind, knowing that she could face the consequences of his actions. Nevertheless, it's crucial to speak with her." "I will get one of the guards to take her to your office unless you would rather bring her down here." He says, and I shake
Rains' P.O.V. I stop us right outside the door and wave over Mia and Annie. "Bring them the cleaning supplies but do not let them bully you two into doing any of their work for them. After they've cleaned up this mess, they can collect their children and return to their rooms for the night. Also, if you don't mind, please bring Odett to us afterward so that Stephanie can relax for the night." I say, making sure that everyone hears me clearly. My blood is still boiling at the fact that they came into our home and acted as they did, and then they questioned my right to address them the way I did. "Yes, my Queen," Mia says with a smile as they bow. "We will be in my office," Zion tells them, and they nod and bow, then make their way to get the cleaning supplies, and Zion leads us to his office. "He doesn't seem to be upset at us. Ryker even seems to be proud of our reaction to those barbarians." Dosha says as I look up to find Zion smili
Zions' P.O.V. After hearing what Jessica and Rain said about Jessicas old Alpha and that Luna Misty knew everything her mate had planned for my mate, Luna Misty didn't even bother to deny any of it. I asked her if it was true, and she admitted it was all true. I had heard enough and knew what I had to do. I linked Evan and James to come in as I was about to send Luna Misty to the dungeon as a prisoner. They entered and lifted her out of the chair. I stood up, making sure I held Rain close as Orian did the same to Jessica, and pushing my Alpha arua onto her, I stripped Luna Misty of her title and pack. I followed that up by telling her she would be sent to the dungeon to await her sentencing for violating our laws. She begged me for forgiveness as Evan and James dragged her out of my office. "I guess we will need to find a new Alpha for the Blue River Pack," Orian says, and I nod. "Jessica, have you ever met the Beta and Gamma of the
Rains' P.O.V. After Jess makes the comment comparing Lord Demetrius to Lord Farquad, everyone laughs except Zion. At first, I thought he would see it as disrespectful since Lord Demetrius is considered a high-ranked member of the Super Natural Council. But when he asks who Lord Farquad was I'm shocked. I thought everyone has seen Shrek at least once in their life. Apparently, I was wrong. "You've never seen Shrek?" I ask him, and he shakes his head. "Well, I know what we're watching tomorrow night," I say while laughing. "How about a movie night in the courtyard after dark?" "Oh, sounds fun! We can have popcorn and smoothies and make palettes for everyone!" Jess says. "We'll still have all the guests here," Zion says, and I think of a solution. I don't want to leave them out and make others feel excluded, but I think a movie night would be fun for everyone. "We'll just need to make sure we have enough palettes and popcorn for everyone
Zions' P.O.V. After we got to our suite, we got Odett tucked into her bed and made our way into our room. She walked over to the window as I closed the door, then walked over to her wrapping my arms around her waist and asking if I should start the shower. But I didn't expect her reaction. When she bit into my collarbone, I knew I would end up losing control. She knew exactly what she was doing when she looked up at me through her lashes with that smile as she bit her lower lip. At first, I was worried that she would be scared if lost control and got too rough or dominant, but she seemed to be more than happy to play with my more animalistic side and play the submissive role as she kept trying to pull it out of me. When I finally let go, she was more than excited, and it was amazing to be able to do what I'd been craving since I laid my eyes on her. I can't believe I thought she was so fragile. After we finished I told her I would get the bath rea
Zions' P.O.V. After leaving Rain, Lady Ezmerelda, and Jessica in our room to prepare for the crowning ceremony, Orian and I walked down to the Throne Room, where the servants were running around the room, setting up all the decorations. As we walk toward the door, Orian stops to look at me. "Do you think it's really just a stomach bug?" He asks me. "I'm not sure, but the doctor didn't seem too worried about it," I answer him as we begin walking again. We met Mathew after walking out of the Throne Room into the main hall. "What's this I hear about a movie night?" He asks with a cocked eyebrow. "Weren't you in the office when we discussed it?" Orian asks. I shake my head. "No, he slipped out after I stripped Misty of her title and made her rogue," I say. "Did you really not notice?" "Nope, to be honest, I was distracted by my mate and the fact that we need to find a new Alpha for that pathetic pack that my mate came from." Orian ans
Rains' P.O.V. I hear Jess gasp loudly, and I don't need to open my eyes to know that she's feeling the warmth of my mothers' magic covering her for the first time. When I feel that familiar warmth covering my body, I smile at the sensation. The front door opens, and I hear Zion call out, asking if I'm ready. I tell him we'll be out in a few minutes, and my mom says she's finished, and we can open our eyes. When we open our eyes, we both smile. My mom and Odett are standing between us in matching silver and black dresses, a perfect mix between Jess's silver dress and my black dress. "Absolutely stunning," I say as I look at the for of us in the mirrors. Jess nods in agreement as she smiles. I look at the clock in the corner of the room before turning to face the ladies. "Are we all ready?" "I think so," Jess says with a laugh as she twirls around in the mirror, clearly happy with her dress, making me giggle. We open the door and wal
