“The wedding’s back on?” Falcon asked me, as I sat in my office. I had given instructions for Adelie’s chambers to be prepared for her return and then told Duncan to continue with the planning of the wedding.“Yes,” I said to him.“I thought her memories of you were wiped, did she remember something?” he asked me frowning.“Not exactly,” I said to him.“What do you mean ‘not exactly’?” he asked.“She’s pregnant… besides, I don’t have to explain myself to you,” I said to him. She would be arriving in a few hours.“Holy shit, Kai, did you enforce the age-old law of an Alpha’s heir on her?” he asked me, his face suddenly angry.“What does it matter if I did? It’s my child and I’m doing what’s right!” I said angrily too.“Switch your emotions on, because the real you would never do this to her,” he said to me.“Leave me alone, Falcon,” I said to him.“Dammit, Kai! You’re essentially doing the same thing to her that Rupprecht did!” he yelled at me.“Get out,” I said to him. I was close to

Later that afternoon, I took Paul back to Seward and we talked. I answered all his questions and he was careful when he asked about Kari. I didn’t tell him the whole truth there, not about the enchantment and all that, only that Kari was severely depressed.He seemed intrigued and I laughed so hard when he asked me if I could turn him. He wasn’t impressed when I told him that it didn’t work like that. Thanks, Hollywood. I told him I’d check in on him, and to keep his mouth shut, then I told him that Levi next door was the equivalent of the big bad wolf.Back at the castle, and not having done any work for the day, I showered and changed for dinner. I still kept my emotions off because if I turned them on, I’d end up going to Adelie’s room and I didn’t trust myself around her.“Princess Adelie regrets to inform you that she will not be joining you for dinner this evening,” the butler said, as he appeared in my private dining room. I mostly ate here alone since Tala and Falcon spent all

Royal weddings were about bringing together two countries, more than the actual two people getting married, since it was mostly arranged marriages. Traditionally, the bride’s gown would be in her house colors and the groom in his. After the wedding ceremony, the bride will change her gown for an evening dress in her husband’s colors for the celebrations.It signified the unity of the two royal families, and that the wife was subservient to her husband by wearing his royal colors. To me, it was the perfect opportunity to emphasize Adelie’s place in my life. She needed to learn that only so much was acceptable, with regard to her behavior.After the wedding, the royal couple went for a carriage drive through the town where the residents would all line up to greet the King and new Queen. After that, the happy couple will return to the castle, where all the traditional stuff would be done, the royal wedding photo, the first dance, cutting of the cake, and the speeches, etc. A few hours la

I stared at my phone for a long time after Jace ended our call. So much for friendship, although I had to hand it to him, he loved Adelie, too. I knew she would retaliate after the mice in her bathroom and I shivered suddenly. I made my way back to the castle and thought about what to do about this whole situation. We couldn’t continue being at odds like this, although the staff and Zetas seemed to enjoy the little prank war going on between us.“Are you sure there are no mice?” I heard Adelie’s voice, as she stood in front of her door refusing to go in.“I’ve looked everywhere, Princess, there are no mice,” Zoran said to her, a grin on his face. He was finding the mice funny, at least.“They were just an illusion, Adelie,” I said to her, as I walked towards them.“Much like your intelligence,” she said to me, and walked into her room.“Coming from a lady such as yourself, I’d take that as a compliment, since your behavior speaks volumes of your upbringing,” I said to her.“You mean

The day dragged on and I had the distinct feeling that something was going to happen. I was on edge, a bit anxious, and I couldn’t explain it. I was worried about the rogue attacks, Falcon and Tala’s silence, but I knew they were okay. I could still feel my link with them. Mostly, I was worried about the wedding and what Adelie would do to ruin it.It had been a long day and I stretched my arms over my head as I walked toward my chambers. I closed the door behind me and started taking my shirt off as I walked from the sitting room to my bedroom. It was already late, 10 p.m., and I froze when I opened my bedroom door.The woman sat on the edge of my bed with her back turned toward me. Her long, blonde hair hung down her back. For a moment, I almost felt confused, but in my head I knew this woman wasn’t Adelie, even if the likeness was similar.“Care to explain what you’re doing in my bedroom?” I asked her, and she turned around. She was young, maybe only 18, and even though she was ver
