All Chapters of Revenge of the Rogue Queen: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

LouisaOur entire family took turns taking care of me for a couple of days, while Liam took care of some business. He was still very worried about the northern region and what might have been going on over there. The snow hadn’t stopped falling for over a week when he came to see me looking very upset.At first, I thought something might have happened in the north, but I didn’t want to push him while he paced back and forth in front of our bed. I waited patiently while he huffed and sighed and pulled his fingers through his hair until finally, he turned to look at me.“I hate this. I hate being so busy and not being able to spend enough time with you. How are you feeling?” He looked worried, and I smiled to try and ease his concern.“I’m fine. Our mothers have made sure to give me all the advice they could, and I haven’t been sick for two days, which feels really great.” I shrugged and could see his shoulders relaxing. “Are you so stressed because of me?” I frowned and he sighed befor

LouisaI thought Bennie was being very brave, but I also knew that speaking up like that during a small council meeting did not bode very well. Bennie and I were only there to observe, really. We didn’t have any authority unless … Unless our mates were killed. I could also imagine how Helena must be feeling. She didn’t want me and Liam to go, and now Bennie was going.I wished that there was something I could do to ease the burden on all of them, but this was what we were here for. We were the royals. We had to be strong and do the difficult things to protect our packs. To protect everyone in our kingdom. If something really was brewing in the north. We needed to know sooner rather than later.I joined the small group in the armoury in the late evening. Liam wasn’t happy that I wanted to be there, but I felt that someone had to be there to comfort Helena. It broke my heart to watch her as she said goodbye. It broke my heart to watch all of them say goodbye.Liam didn’t want anyone to

HelenaLiam stepped aside and Louisa pushed me into the room where Bennie was lying in a hospital bed. I gasped at the sight of him. He was connected to so many wires that I was almost too scared to touch him. I touched his hand, and it was so much colder than I was used to.“We are keeping him sedated until his leg heals. He had a very bad break, and we had to reset the bone.” The doctor explained, and I looked at his leg, which was covered by an enormous cast.“How long will he be under?” I frowned and the doctor sighed.“A day. Two at the most. As soon as his body starts healing itself, it should happen faster. His body is weak at the moment.” The doctor frowned, making a note before looking at me. “If you don’t have any other questions, I need to check in on another patient.” I nodded and thanked him, holding Bennie’s hand.“Helena, you need to rest. Can we take you to your room? I will bring you back a bit later. I promise.” Liam looked worried, but I nodded. I didn’t want to lea

HelenaIt was one of the coldest winters we have had in a long time. I was glad that Liam and Louisa were home after what Bennie told us, and I was even happier that he got back home safely. It was a sad thing the day we had to inform the families of the men we lost, since we couldn’t have an official funeral for them, but Liam insisted that we at least have a memorial.Bennie tried to bring his men back, but it was impossible, and he had to leave their bodies behind, or he wasn’t going to make it back. Sadly, he healed soon enough and was right back to helping Liam and the small council plan for war. I hated that he had to be one of the men who would fight. I hated that my brother was going to fight.I hated war! We were meant to have gone into a period of peace, but it seemed that some people’s greed pushed us in the same direction each time. Liam spoke to the pixies after some complaining about it, and they gladly agreed to help us.In the meantime, Louisa and my bellies grew by th

HelenaIt didn’t take long for the wounded to start pouring in. I hated having to stay in bed while I could hear everyone rushing about just outside my room. It took my entire family to keep me right where I was supposed to be. I was healing fast after the birth, but I still had some healing to do.The war didn’t take as long as any of us thought it would and the stories the guys told us had us horrified. It made me very glad that I missed out. Fighting was something I had to learn. I just never liked all that growling and hissing and blood everywhere.“I must be the only werewolf in the entire world that doesn’t like fighting!” I exclaimed and they all laughed out loud. But it was the truth. I really hated fighting. My mother was a warrior queen. I didn’t intend or actually have the need to be a warrior princess. Being a part of the small council never required one to fight.A COUPLE OF MONTHS later, summer was in full swing and the war was almost forgotten. The injured had healed an
