Jennifer's POVI woke up alone in bed and wondered where Lucien was. It was still dark outside. I looked at the clock to see it was only one in the morning. Before I could get out of bed, Lucien walked into our bedroom, fully dressed. I knew he had just come back from somewhere. "I am sorry, Little One. Did I wake you?" Lucien said"No. I woke up before you arrived. Where did you go," I asked while Lucine undressed to his boxers. "I was going to tell you later on today, but since you are up, I will tell you now," Lucien said as he sat on his side of the bed. I was also in a sitting position waiting for him to continue. "Some members of the Werewolf Council decided to show up uninvited," Lucien said"What do they want? Why would they show up without asking you if they could come?" I asked"They want to meet you. They want to meet their new Queen. They decided to show up because they knew I wouldn't have told them not to come if they asked me first. I told them they were not allowed t

Jennifer's POV"I don't care about tradition. Queen Jennifer and I will be changing that tradition because, as I already told you, no one will be watching me and my Mate have sex," Lucien growled. Everyone looked at him, but no one dared to say anything. There was nothing they could say that would make him change his mind."Yes, my King," West said after a moment breaking the silence. "Now, if you would excuse us, Your Queen and I have somewhere we have to be," Lucien said"Of course. Thanks for your time," West said, and we left the room and headed to the Limo."Lucien, you know it is tradition for the King and Queen to Mark and Mate each other in front of witnesses," Debra said once we were in the Limo."Mom, I don't want to talk about this," Lucien said"Well, you have no choice, young man. It is a tradition that has been going on since the beginning of time. It is important that you keep with the traditions," Debra replied. It was funny to me seeing Debra scowl at Lucien like he

Jennifer's POV (Trigger warning)There are so many cruel people in this world. I knew it and had been a victim of them many times. But I had never seen anything like what was in front of me. The woman who had made Poppy leave the gym earlier had a belt in her hand. Poppy was lying on a bed with her hands and legs chained to her bed naked. I could see blood coming from her legs where the woman had struck her with the belt numerous times. The worst part was that two older men were standing by the wall with only their boxers on waiting. Everyone looked at me with shocked expressions when I walked into the room.I stood there, shocked at the sight in front of me. I was lost for words and didn't know what to say. I could feel tears coming in my eyes seeing Poppy in that situation. "What the fuck is going on?" I heard Lucien growl as he pulled me behind him. The men ran out of the room, trying to escape the punishment they knew Lucien would give them, but two of the warriors grabbed them

Jennifer's POV"This is way too much. I don't need this many clothes," Poppy said. We were at the mall and were in Forever 21. Stacy and Chelsea were basically throwing clothes at her to try on. I had never been a fan of shopping, but I was happy they were helping her get a lot of clothes. Lucine, Tom, and Josh were at the food court. Of course, they wouldn't have let Chelsea, Poppy, or me go without them. Tom was the one paying for everything, even though Poppy had no idea. He said it was his job to make sure his Mate had everything she needed. He was going to take care of her and give her the world. I still couldn't believe Tom and Poppy were Mates. I wanted to tell her so badly, but Lucien told me it would be best if Tom were the one that told her. She would probably be overwhelmed if I told her about it, especially since she had just told me the other night she was worried her Mate would reject her after what she had been through, so I told Lucien I wouldn't say anything."Girl,

Jennifer's POV"My mom will be here to pick you up today so you can go shopping for your dresses for the Crowing," Lucien said as he walked me up to the door. Tom was walking beside Poppy, and I smiled when I heard her laugh at something he said. They were getting along, and that made me happy."Okay, I will miss you," I said and kissed Lucien softly."I will miss you too, Little One. I will see you when you get back from shopping with my mom. She said I am not allowed to see your dress, so I am not allowed to come. I am also going to call you," Lucien said"Okay, I will answer," I replied. Lucien wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly. Lucien and Tom left after Tom and Poppy watched as he walked away. "You seem to like him," I said, and her cheeks reddened."He is nice. He moved me onto the third floor in a nicer room. It has a walk-in closet and its own bathroom. I am still shocked he moved me to that floor because I thought it was the Beta floor. I hope he isn't up to so
