I slowly made my way down the stairs to avoid tripping on my stiletto heels. I have never worn stilettos until now a and I an only wearing them because Megan was adamant on me putting them on regardless of my complaints. They were a plain black pair with a gold, heart shaped pendant hanging at the sides of each shoe to make it seem more playful.My short, curly hair was brushed until it was a straight, dark brown mane that brushed and teased the nape of my neck. The fringe was brushed back behind my ear though a few, shorter tendrils remained and teased the corner of my right eye."You look stunning, Luna." Megan all but squealed excitedly from next to me."You've been telling me that since I put on this dress," I giggled," But thank you, Megan. I still don't understand why you forced me to wear these death traps instead of one of the many black pumps in the closet.""Well, I wanted you to look your best, so those flats would not have done any justice with your attire." She shrugged,"
We finished dinner in absolute silence, but it was not tense, just comfortable. Now we're comfortably sitting in the living room in silence. "I believe I owe you an explanation," Theodore lightly sighed," But first, could you tell me why you are so welcoming of this peculiar situation you have found yourself in? I expected to have you asking me to leave or perhaps you would be asking me to leave while you're furiously threatening me."I lightly chuckled while I ran my finger around the top of my glass."Well, aside from me being a hopeless romantic, I have always enjoyed reading and watching supernatural romance. I always read books where a human and werewolf or some other supernatural being fall in love or found out that they were soulmates. I always found it cute and romantic and many times than once I found myself fantasying about basically being in their shoes. I mean, having someone that will love you forever and would never even once think to cheat on you, that's a dream come t
Theodore's POVI am elated that my mate has accepted me and has agreed to be patient with me. She is too damn good to be true. As much as I am elated to have her, a large part of me fears that she might leave any day if she wishes. She is not as grounded as I am."Umm Theo, may I please ask you a question?" She nervously asked from where she lay on my lap as I massaged her sculp."Of course, Little One." I encouragingly smiled down at her."Why do you call me 'Little One' ?" She frowned with a raise of her perfectly arched eyebrow."Well because you are, Mate." I smiled in amusement at her interesting question."How so? You seem to only be in your mid to late twenties." She squinted her eyes at me, making a half-hearted laugh leave my mouth.(She is indeed an adorable one) My wolf, Hunter amusingly chuckled.'That is indeed true.' I agreed with him."Well, I am 465 years old, Little One." I lightly smirked in amusement.She looked at me in disbelief, but her cute little mind seemed to
Elise's POVThe walk down the long hallways of the castle always felt long to me. It feels like an exercise whereas Megan always walks with grace and a smile on her face. She is literally the epitome of grace and beauty and she never fails to make me feel self conscious and intimidated by her beauty. I'm like a duck walking next to a graceful, beautiful swan.And she's not the only gorgeous person here, I've met many more model like, gorgeous women. This place brings out my insecurities. Everyone here is either gorgeous or handsome. I stick out like a sore thump. "Luna?" Megan's concerned voice knocked me out of my deep thoughts."Hmm." I absent-mindedly hummed in response."Are you alright? You seem unwell. You are radiating a hint of sadness. What is the matter?" She asked almost making me cringe.I forgot that people near me can sense my emotions here if they radiate strong enough. It's another type of bond here. The bond between the Luna and her pack and in my case, also a queen
Elise's POV"Okay guys, let's go." I told the kids as I took the prepared picnic basket from the granite countertop."Would you like our help, Elise?" Everett offered with a dimpled smile.I smiled at him leaned down to press a kiss onto his forehead before shaking my head at him," No thank you, Sweetheart.""Are you certain? We would love to assist you." Evangeline smiled up at me.As much as I tried, I couldn't swallow the giggle that left my lips as I shook my head at her," I'm sure, Sweetheart." I assured, leaning down to press a kiss onto her forehead too."Perhaps my assistance may put your minds at ease, Children." Noah's amusement filled voice resonated from behind us, making all three of us simultaneously turn to his unannounced, unexpected figure."Uncle Noah!" The twins simultaneously called, before they ran over to give him a hug before returning to my sides with twin grins lining their lips."May I?" Noah asked, gesturing to the basket in my hand."Are you sure?" I asked
"You know I could have easily carried it back, right?" I asked, gesturing towards the picnic basket that was loosely hung over his arm."I am quite aware, Little One, but I would prefer you not especially not in my presence. You do not need to lift a finger while I am with you." He stubbornly retorted with a slight scoff that had me rolling my eyes even as a small smile laced my lips."As you wish, your Majesty." I playfully said earning myself a playful growl in return as he winked at me."I prefer, my Love." He suggestively smirked."Of course you do." I lightly giggled in amusement. Who would have thought that bad, moody King Theodore could be such a playful man. It really hides his true age."Eli!" The twins happily called as they wrapped their arms around my waist with twin grins marring their faces."Yes Sweethearts?" I smiled at them as I stopped in my tracks."Everett and I will be playing in my room, would you like to join us?" Evangeline enthusiastically asked with hopeful
"Oh my, I doubt you will be attending the children's play time after all," Megan said as she walked towards me with a softness to her words and tone," Shall I go tell his Majesty that he might need to entertain them for the entirety of the afternoon?"I shook my head as I peaked one eye open to be greeted by a warm smile."No, I can't disappoint them. I'll just spend a few minutes with them then I'll take a nap." I reassuringly smiled at her as I opened my other eye while getting off the bed."Are you certain, Luna? I'm sure they'll understand that you're a bit tired." Megan raised an eyebrow in amusement."I'm sure, Megan." I chuckled with a shake of my head."Alright," She shrugged," Shall I take you to Princess Evangeline's chambers?" "Yes please." I asked.With a nod, she guided me out of my room and two rooms down from mine. "This is Miss Evangeline's room, your Majesty. Would you like me to knock for you?" She asked, taking me by surprise as I immediately shook my head."No th
Soft chatter filled my ears as warm, small hands curiously cupped my cheeks. A groan softly escaped my lips, making the small hands immediately retract to their owner as I opened my eyes to the evening-sun lit room. Everett's happy features suddenly appeared in front of me before Evangeline's curious, but happy features also appeared next to her brother."Good afternoon, Eli." They simultaneously greeted before breaking into sweet giggles of laughter at their paired greeting."Good morning, Darlings." I lightly chuckled before I turned my head just for my cheek to brush against warm fingers that were connected to a hand that belonged to a very much asleep Theo."Daddy's still asleep." Evangeline cutely explained. "He is, isn't he?" I found myself absent-mindedly responding before I turned to the two darlings curiously staring at me,"Okay, how about we go downstairs for a snack and let Daddy sleep? He must be exhausted." I negotiated. They nodded without a second thought as they al
