Genevieve POV The day went off without a hitch as the 4 of us made our rounds through the campus. It was quite obvious that we had the respect of the Alphas & Lunas, though some of their children weren't completely on board. I couldn't help but notice the way that Isabella hung around the council members, no doubt attempting to concoct some sort of plan to remove me from the picture. She was bitter, as she should be. She knew now that when she had visited back in November, that Rayan was already mine, which was why he sent her away. He had wanted nothing to do with her from the moment he met me, and I could read in her aura thar she was furious over it. I'm also sure that it didn't help matters much that I had knocked her out at the dinner table. Well, the packs would learn not to mess with their Queen one way or another. They would surely learn that lesson today as we held trials for the Donahues & the Alpha that dared to disrespect me. Alpha Maverick, I had learned h

Genevieve POV I awoke as a jolt of energy forced it's way into my veins, consuming me. I gasped at the feel of the energy resting just below the surface. I opened my eyes to see my brother, my cousin Andre & Rayan all resting their hands on me with their eyes closed as their energy visibly lapped over my skin. Jennifer was standing behind them, her hands glowing bright green as they rested on my brother's shoulders while she chanted. "Enough, I'm awake, that's enough." I spoke quickly, surprising myself at how fast the words came out. All of their eyes snapped open to stare at me as Jennifer stopped chanting & pulled her hands away from Gavin's shoulders. Ray wasted no time pulling me into him as though he hadn't seen me in days. I giggled as I crashed into his body, sparks erupting over my skin where our skin met. He bent down & crashed his lips into mine before taking a deep inhale from the crook of my neck, sending me into another fit of giggles. "Geez Ray,

Genevieve POV As Rayan bowed before me on one knee, all I could think about was the prophecy that said I would bring him to his knees. I smiled knowing that this was what it meant all along. My mother had feared it so much, never knowing that it would be his love for me that would force him into submission. And I could not possibly love him more. He & this family we were building were everything to me, so once we were both coronated & our people were cheering, I chose to submit to him as well. After all, we were a team, a partnership, & the ability to submit &/or compromise when necessary was how partnerships thrived. And we would thrive together, as would our kingdom. I would personally see to it. Once the kingdom was settled the was still one thing left to do, well, 24 things actually, and I knew that when I was done I would be needing another magical jump from my mate & family. Ronan settled the crowd & I stood to speak, talking about the importance of the council & their

Rayan POV My Love went off with the girls for a few hours to do all the girly things, hair, nails, facials, etc., while us guys hung back and enjoyed eachother's company. Benji & Andre joined us, which was rare. It was strange for Benji & I to run into eachother even once within a decade usually, so having seen this much of him just in the last month was a strange occurrence. Though, I suppose I should get used to it seeing as how I will be the father of the next witch Timekeeper. Also, if the pattern continued to hold, he would probably end up mated to my daughter, which was weird to think about so I pushed the thought from my mind as quickly as possible. This earned me a look from Ronan who had picked up on the feeling. I just shook my head at him as I chuckled out loud. Sure, the other's probably thought I was crazy but I didn't mind. I was just enjoying my time with the guys. Dimitri and his father had joined us for drinks & cigars as well, but I was paying him no mind a

Genevieve POV The night was going well & we were all enjoying ourselves. The people loved seeing Ray & I dancing the night away, they loved seeing how deeply we loved eachother. I overheard several conversations where the older wolves were speaking of never seeing Ray so happy & completely in love while giggling about the effect of the mate bond. And they were right. He & I were so happy & completely in love. Thanks to Crysanthi providing breakfast, I was full of energy & putting a new council in place hadn't drained me the way I thought it would. We were having a great night, and when the Moon reached it's peak, the night only got better as everyone's wolves came forward. The other supernatural royals laughed as the howling began & the wolves began finding their mates. Ray & I had taken a seat because he didn't want me on the floor as everyone started making their way to eachother. I assured him I would be fine, but he didn't want to take the risk of me being bumped or knoc
