I smile as I try to breathe. The woman was squeezing the life out of me due to the love she has for me. I think King Parker noticed my struggle because he chuckled, “Zara, love, you might want to let up on your hold on our daughter in law before we have to plan her funeral.” Uncle Nico laughed as Luke growled. Zara stepped back and tried to straighten my shirt for me as she blushed, “I’m so sorry, sweetie. I didn’t mean to strangle you. Are you okay now?” I laughed, “I’m fine.” I introduced her to Uncle Nico and Aunt Brenna and she hugged them too. I explained, “They’re here for our first change and first run, then they will be staying for the alliance meeting and my crowning ceremony.” Queen Zara furrows her brows, “Alliance meeting? Why am I just now hearing about this?” I explained, “We have an issue with a huge hunter guild that needs to be dealt with. We captured and the guys killed four of them while we were in Florida.” Zara gasped, “Oh my goddess! I’m so sorry that had to happe

Apparently, while I was telling this story, the guys quietly walked in and overheard the story. Each of our mates walked up behind us and held us tightly. King Parker sighed, “That was a really interesting story.” I added, “You will get to meet them tomorrow. We will be having dinner together on Friday, so make sure you wear pants with a drawstring or elastic.” Uncle Nico agreed, “True story. I am dead serious. Grandma’s cooking is no joke.” Luke nodded, “I was so glad I wore my shorts to their house.” King Parker replied, “Dually noted.” Over dinner, King Parker asked, “So, exactly what did you find out about this hunter guild?” I replied, “Princess Ariel of the Angel Realm went with us to interrogate them. She revealed her wings and one of them decided to talk. We found out that the guild went underground after their last mission. It was a failure because there was more than one species and they didn’t expect it. He didn’t say what species were with them. Anyway, he also told us tha

When he suggested that I might be able to heal Grandma Honi, I almost lost my breath. Could I possibly do that? I smiled, “The only thing I could do is try. Do you know if they are bringing her?” Uncle Nico sighed, “Probably not. She is very frail. Maybe after we get these hunters dealt with, we can teleport to her and see if you can help her.” I smiled, “I really hope I can help her.” Uncle Nico nodded, “Me too. I have a feeling she won’t want you to try. She’s very old and has pretty much given up on life. She feels like it’s her time for the Goddess to call her home. She feels like she is too much of a burden anymore. Her body is failing.” I asked, “I wonder if my waves will be able to sense that she has no desire to live?” He shrugged, “All you can do is try.” I sighed, “True.” Luke added, “I would love it if you could. I have already fallen in love with that little woman.” I snuggled close to him, “I know.” We walked back to the house and found Cody and Rachel waiting for us. I s

I woke up at the break of dawn the next morning, groaning because I couldn’t get back to sleep. With a sigh, I dragged myself out of bed and got ready for my day. I decided to just wear a pair of ripped blue jeans and a turquoise tank top. Then I put on my turquoise tennis shoes. I put my hair up in a high ponytail because I knew I had more cooking to do this morning. The alliance meeting is this afternoon, so I will need to fix a few platters of finger food too. There is no telling how long this meeting will take. I walked downstairs and grabbed a cup of coffee, then walked out to the back deck to find my grandpa sitting in one of the chairs. I sat my coffee on the table and hugged him from behind, “Good morning, Grandpa.” He smiled, “Good morning, sweetie.” I asked, “Did you sleep well?” He replied, “Oh yeah, perfectly. Watch.” I sat in my own chair and grandpa whistled, imitating a bird call. Before I knew it, there was a robin standing in front of him. He was whistling and the bir

Grandma brought in a huge feast of lamb roast, fried chicken and pulled pork with a variety of sides to choose from. Everyone around the table started moaning in anticipation at the smells. I swore I heard a chorus of rumbling stomachs as they all lined up to fill their plates. After all the plates were full, there wasn’t a word spoken except compliments to my grandma. After everyone had a full belly, and the initial groans of misery were done, we all decided to sit down and plan the security for my crowning ceremony, tomorrow. We decided that the Fae High Lords will glam the palace, making it look like just a regular house to humans. We then decided that we need to find out who the hunters in Florida are getting their information from. I had a sudden idea, “Wait! One of the hunters was at the carnival that we held in Florida. She asked Luna Zendaya about working at the indoor winter park when construction is complete. She gave Zendaya her phone number! We should check that number and
