{ Georgette }Queen Elena Blues is unstoppable and vicious. She didn't give a shit about the council’s disapproval of her actions. She didn't give a shit about the THREE fucking warnings they gave her. And she didn't even give a shit about being arrested. She's still telling her Alpha to keep the war going. Poor Alpha Dean is between a rock and a hard place, so I don’t blame him for following his Queen’s instructions. I just feel bad for him.But I feel worse for myself. It has been a few days since I found my second chance mate but I haven't been able to really enjoy any of them. There's always something going on and I'm starting to get really angry. I'm one inconvenience away from going fully rogue and attacking the Blues pack just to show Elena I have way more manpower than her. The only reason her pack is still intact is because I'm not an asshole... but I'm starting to consider letting myself be an asshole.I walk five minutes late into a meeting with the council. Cain is alr
"Did you really give Asheron the jacket I gifted your ungrateful ass?" I text Justin one-handed, still holding Georgie's body. "And why didn't you tell me he was still alive, by the way? Seems like something one should mention.”"I also want to apologize for my mother's behavior," Asheron continues, standing up again and drawing my attention away from my phone. His voice sounds just as I remember it, slow and secure, as if he's used to having everyone's attention on him, all the time, "I can't even imagine the hell she went through, thinking I died, so... I beg for some consideration. I already called off the war that should’ve never even began. My pack is retreating as we speak. Alpha Dean was under my mother's instructions to keep going, but I took charge in this matter because, I promise you, I do not want any kind of war, especially not with my mate's pack.""My mate, you mean," I correct him, making the vibes around the table turn extremely tense and deadly awkward, "She's no lon
{ Georgette }Asheron is alive. He’s back home. I've been awake since Cain started slapping my face and my dad threw water at me, but I decided, for my own well-being, to keep my eyes closed as I process this information.Asheron is fucking alive. Alive. Alive. Alive. He never died; his buddy Jonah did. He was in a coma, not dead. He has been alive this whole time. God, I want to run to him and grab him in my arms... and I will. But not like this, and not right now.My wolf is not as surprised by this as I am, but she is very, very relieved. All this time, she had a feeling Asheron wasn't really dead. I used to think she was demented, but now I will never doubt her again. She can feel him, after all. Of course I shouldn’t have doubted her. She might be a slut, but her instincts are never wrong. Or maybe I will doubt her, actually, because she still chose to fall in love with someone else even knowing her man wasn’t dead. And because of that, I'm currently stuck between a rock and
I know this building like the back of my hand at this point, so I manage to turn left to the stairs and then run down... however, Asheron knows this building just as well."Georgette, what are you doing?" He asks, running behind me until we get to the garden, but then he stops, "Ouch, my leg..."That makes me stop immediately and look back at him. Never, ever, ever have I ever heard Ash complaining about pain. "What happened?" I ask as I approach him. He groans and grabs his knee, "Baby, what happened?""I..." he looks up at me. And as soon as I'm close enough, he grabs me, making me shriek, "I'm fine, sweetheart, but my leg is actually going to start hurting soon. I just needed you to stop running.""Oh, my god! You played me!" I complain but I'm not really angry. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me up until I'm wrapping my legs around his legs just by muscle memory. But I know I shouldn’t let this happen, "Ash, I need you to let me go or I'm going to pass out again. This
Cain is looking at us with narrowed eyes and crossed arms while sitting next to his parents. He looks mad and I really don't like that, so I make a heart with my hands at him, to show him nothing has changed in these ten minutes. It's stupid, but it works. Cain rolls his eyes at me, trying to stop a smile from forming. "Alpha, Princess, please sit down. We have reached a possible solution for this situation," King Erik says. My dad nods with a sigh, and King Aldo just looks mildly annoyed. I really want to hear what they have to say, so I sit down in the empty seat, and Asheron sits next to me."We think this is possibly the only fair way to go about this, for all of you involved," Queen Alicia starts. "Alpha Cain is right; this isn't just about love. Whoever you end up marrying is a decision that will affect the whole country."I know they're right, and that's the hardest part about being royalty. My decisions are never really only mine. I always have to think about my pack, my peo
Georgie orders both me and Asheron to go to her palace tomorrow morning so we can stay there for a whole month, then she leaves with her dad.I guess that means my first council meeting is over. This was eventful. I get up to walk to Asheron as he’s walking to the door with his dad because I want to get some things straight, but my own dad grabs my arm before I can do that. "Don't do anything stupid, boy," he warns in a whisper, "You think she's going to forgive you if you hurt the guy she thought was dead? No. You have to be smarter than that. You have to play the same game he's playing. The good guy game, that's obviously what she's into."That makes me stop and just blink. He's right. There's no way Asheron is as perfect as we all think; I'm sure already he's fake. So I have to be fake, just like him. Apparently, that's what Georgie likes.And while I'm at it, I should make sure he shows his true colors to her at some point. I'm good at making people lose their temper, after all
{ Asheron }The next morning, I walk into the Colucci palace with Adam, my assistant, carrying two of my suitcases. I'm finally wearing my own clothes and I sent Justin the jacket he gave me. He was an idiot for giving me the one with his initials on it, but now I get why he asked for me to give it back. Cain gifted it to him. Cain, the guy I'm supposed to hate the most... but I don't. Maybe because I know he's Justin's little brother, maybe because I know Georgie has loved him forever so this doesn't even feel that different from normal. Or maybe because he's just a fun guy. A big kid, just like I said. But whatever it is, my wolf doesn't feel violent towards him and I guess that's a good thing, because I'll be sharing a palace with him. I'll be... sharing a mate with him, for a month at least. Not sexually, though, not at all. Just romantically, I guess. "Georgette!" I shout as soon as I walk into the palace so she knows I'm here, "Thanks, Adam, just leave them there. I'll cal
Both boys murmur some form of ‘yes’, so I lead them to the garden, reminding myself not to touch either one of them, no matter how much I want to.If I were a selfish person, I would ask for one hour a day with each of them, locked away in my room. I haven't had sex in months and I'm starting to need it. Badly.But I'm not selfish, and I know this situation sucks for my boys, so I won't make it even worse by asking for too much.The fresh air cools my skin and the greenery of my garden lightens my spirits after that awful fucking dream I had. But I don't have to worry because both boys are right here with me. They both exist, they're both alive, and they both love me.And I love them. I just have to choose which one I love more, I guess. No pressure.The outside table is already full with our breakfast, so I sit down when Enrique opens the chair for me."Thanks, Enrique," I say as the boys sit beside me, still in silence, "Everything looks great… by the way, can you make sure we have
