Awe poor Mike!!! I don't think he was too upset though, maybe? But they going home early, Drop me a comment and gem if you liked the chapter. Comments are the highlight of my day. I love to see what readers are thinking and what they think will happen next.
LAMIA Mike and I made it downstairs to the front steps of the academy with my bags and one box. There were three stretch SUVs parked outside and Kellen’s truck, there were 10 Royal guards standing around the cars as we made our way over. Kira, Greg, Sam, and Travis were outside waiting to say goodbye already. Mike had just finished loading my stuff into the back of the truck when Kellen came out the front doors accompanied by Wilson, Hunji (who would be coming with us), and the Royal Beta. “Uncle Mike!” I happily squeaked, running over to him and leaping into his arms. Mike was the spitting image of his father, not just the same eye color, hair, and height, but also the sheer mass and stockiness of them. He wrapped me in his arms and squeezed me tight. “Princess, I hope you have kept the boys in line?” He joked, lifting me up and twirling me. Even though I was tall and stood at 5 foot 10, and could easily kick his ass, he still thought of me as this little girl and treated me as su
VIVIAN (Lamia's Mother) Tears stung my eyes as I held my little girl's hand. She looked so weak and fragile lying in the hospital bed. The color had drained from her, her olive skin now a pale grey. The doctors said she would be fine and heal. She just needed to recover and rest. Her right arm was wrapped and bandaged and had now started to heal, but slowly. Her leg was still seeping from the wounds and had to be stitched. I asked why it was taking so long to heal. They told me, because of how weak she is from using all her energy and the bone in her thigh had become infected from the claw that had been lodged there during her fight, the bear shifter had laced his own claws with silver and even though they managed to pull the claw out, it’s tip had broken off and had been lodged in her bone. They couldn’t see it until they did an x-ray. So it would take longer to heal, hence stitching her to help the process. A whimper left my lips and more tears were shed. We were all in her hospit
KING ALEXANDER Lamia was still unconscious and the stress of her injury and weakness was affecting everyone. I loved that girl deeply, as much as my own child, and would give anything for her, as would my son. A sense of pride washed through me when I was told how she took out a bear shifter single-handedly and in human form! We were astounded. Albeit, it was a traumatic experience, not just for her but for those who witnessed it, and it was not without consequences. I was surprised Marcus hadn’t choked my son out yet. I couldn’t blame him if he wanted to beat the shit out of him. Marcus had just found out my son and his daughter had been sleeping with each other. Not only are they both still 17, but that was his little girl. I was mad at my own son. I would certainly be having words with him. For fuck's sake, he crossed a line, and, hopefully, it all works out on their birthdays, then all would be forgiven. We also found out last night that Lamia had ‘accidentally’ been given an ov
LAMIA It was a week later and we had all settled into school and classes. I had moved back in with my parents, who had moved back into the palace at some point when we were at the academy. They knew about mine and Kellen’s now ‘romantic’ relationship. I guess they thought they would have better control over our extended activities; However, Kellen ended up sleeping in my bed every night anyway. On my first night back in my room, the nightmares had begun. I had woken up in a cold sweat screaming for Mike. The same shrill voice I used when the bear had attacked him. The glaring red eyes plagued my dreams and consumed me with terror. The feel of his claws digging in was so vivid, bringing back the pain. When my father came in to comfort me, I lashed out in a fit of terror and clawed at him. I guess I had woken up the whole palace with my screams and didn’t calm down until Kellen’s arms held me down in a tight embrace, soothing the shaking fear. After the second night and only Kel bein
LAMIA I woke up early at 5 am to a cold bed, sensing Kellen was not in my room. This was strange, as he was not an early riser. Heading for the shower, I sent him a quick mind link. *Hey, where did you sneak off to?* *We had a rogue issue again. We got called out at 3 am, heading back now. I didn’t want to wake you, babe. I will see you at lunch at school* *OK, fill me in then. I have early training with Hunji* I closed the link and stepped in, letting the warmth of the water soothe me. Rogues again, I thought. They have seemed to be persistent at our borders lately. But why wouldn’t they wake me to come and help? Everyone knew I was the fastest and strongest wolf in the royal pack. It irked me a little, maybe more than a little. I felt like I was getting pushed further and further from being involved in pack business. OK, I may not be Kellen’s choice for Delta. I got over that, but still, I felt like I was being shoved to the sidelines more and more and it didn’t sit well with m
UNKNOWN POV One year I have been here, and one year I have been subjected to bullying. The taunts, the kicks, the shoves, but hey what’s new, this is how it has always been. No matter what school I was in, no matter what pack. But this school was by far the worst. Most days it wasn’t so bad, just little comments here and there, or books being knocked out of my hands. Those days I could handle. Other days, like yesterday, when I was dumped head-first into the toilet and repeatedly flushed, were the worst. Or the days they catch me and throw food or drinks at me. How much more could I be humiliated? They treated me worse than humans. I had literally been 'thrown to the wolves'. How ironic, considering my father is a wolf. My father is a werewolf and my mother was a cat shifter or were-cat I guess you could say. They had met when they were both traveling and exploring the realm. A chance happening. Discovering they were mates. It was rare you would find two different shifter races fat
LAMIA I got back to the palace after Damon dropped Tawny off, then me. I was making my way up to our floor, still on a high from making two new friends today. I surely did miss Kira and hadn’t spoken to her in a while. I would have to give her a call later tonight, to see how she’s doing, I was interrupted in my thoughts when the King linked me to come to his office. Great, what did I do or not do now? I thought. I made my way to his office, knocking softly. “Come in”, he bellowed. Entering, I saw my father and Beta Michael sitting there and Queen Sara standing next to him. Shit, I was in trouble. I knew it and my dad’s tight-lipped expression confirmed it as such. I took a seat next to my dad across from the King. “You summoned me, your highness?” I asked, bowing as I sat. He rubbed his palms over his eyes “Lamia, did you threaten and attack another student today?” Double shit. Well, I might as well own it now, I wasn’t ashamed. “Yes, your highness, I did.” I sat up straight
MIKE Luckily, my dad walked in just then looking between me and Lamia, his eyebrows meeting in the middle with a glare. “So what did you want to show me?” he asked, shoving his hands in his pockets. I looked at Lamia and back to my dad, then back to Lamia again. “Lamia, I’m gonna need you to shift in front of Beta Michael.” “Why?” her brows forming deep lines and scowling. “What is going on? What am I missing?” She asked, getting annoyed and shoving her hands on her hips. “Just trust me Lam’s, please; it’s better if you see.” My voice was soft and pleading for her not to argue. My dad and I turned around so she could shift comfortably. We heard the slight crack of bones and when we were sure she had shifted, we turned around. I kept my eyes on my dad to gauge his reaction, to see if it was the same as mine. “Holy shit!” He gasped out. Yep, his eyes were wide like saucers, his mouth hanging open and his body visibly stiff with the shock of the sheer size of Inanna. *What? What i
