Leonor pov The journey back to the royal pack was quiet , Orion would check I was ok every now and then but overall he left me to my thoughts . I was grateful he never pushed me and just allowed me to process everything . I knew he could feel the turmoil of emotions , he would just send calm and love everytime they would start to overwhelm me . I knew Lil felt bad. I just didn't have the energy to convince her I didn't blame her . I was trying so hard to keep my aura in check so as not to hurt any of them . We had just crossed the border when I turned to Orion . “ I want to talk with Samantha , Can she and Jess be brought to the castle please? '' he just nods and kisses my forehead “ Of course my love I will link to have them on the floor below us . The doctor will meet us there and the maids will have her room ready .” I snuggle into him and thank him . I feel exhausted all of a sudden and my body feels heavy , the stress of today has finally caught up with me . I must have no
Alpha Prince Orion pov It’s been a month since we were at the midnight pack , the crimes against the pack members are endless . The higher ranking members have been kept in the royal prison until the investigation has been completed . Most of the females we found in the building behind the packhouse have been temporarily housed in the royal pack . The timing of all this couldn't have come at a more stressful time with the missing teens still missing . The only upside is there has been no new kidnapping in the past six weeks . We know that all missing teens are still alive as their pack links to their Alpha and parents have not snapped yet so keeps hopes high . We are still looking but at the moment with everything else going on our resources are stretched to the limits . Haggen and Lilith have been holding stuff together over at the midnight pack , sorting out their books and making sure that the repairs to the pack are underway and hopefully the people can start to heal from the
Alpha Prince Orion pov My father looks pale. I see him wince from time to time . My mother sits by his side and holds his hand on top of the table . I see the guilt in my fathers eyes , he can't look at Leonor . He refuses Fallon's offer to use her powers to help , he looks so frail the light from his eyes is starting to dull . I watch as he waves his hand at my sister and tells her to stop fussing and enjoy her dinner . Leonor is sitting next to me , I can feel she is nervous through our bond . Mum turns to my mate “ Leonor , I have heard wonderful things about you from all who have met you . And I must say you are stunningly beautiful . Not to forget the most important thing , you are a warrior and a leader “ my mother lifts her glass and toasts to the next queen , may she continue as she's started . I can't quite understand but there was something underlying in her toast , and i don't like it . Onix is growling in my head and he has never done that towards my mother before .
Leonor pov It has been almost two months since Orion and I met , I have been in his pack for almost seven weeks . I started to train with the elite , that's what would normally be known as the kings guard . There are two other females training with the elite apart from me . Fallon and Lil have started training much to Lil’s disgust , Fallon however seems to be loving it and her confidence is really starting to grow . The coronation and my Luna ceremony is booked for three days time , things have been quiet and although there have been no more abductions there has still been non stop searches for the missing teens . They are still considered missing as their link to their packs have never been felt to have broken . Don't get me wrong, not everyone has been so welcoming , as expected you have the bitchy gang like that girl Hallie . I try my hardest to steer clear of them not as I am worried but more so I don't do something that would make me look bad in the eyes of Orion's people
Cicero pov Looking down at the whore who is sucking my dick I feel nothing but disgust . Hearing that Leonor has marked that stupid boy wolf Orion , making her my female, I have now turned to taking her and little princess Fallon and keeping them for myself . Having toys and ruining the royal pack would still be fun . Getting fed up with this whore I bat her away with my hands telling her to leave , as the doors shut i get up and pour myself another drink . After I drink the gold liquid down in one I feel so frustrated I throw the glass at the wall above the fire . Since watching Leonor fight i can't seem to enjoy any of my whores , she was just mesmerising and the way she could take down men twice her size . I won't lie, I want to see her wolf actually scrap that I need to see her . The blood lust I could see in her gold eyes called to the darkness when I released it , they would be drawn to her once she was locked onto her target . She was embracing the darkness , I watched
Alpha prince Orion pov Something felt off , almost like the calm before the storm . The teens were still alive but still missing , no more had been taken . Fallon had been strange lately , distant almost . Something was bothering her but knowing my sister she would tell me when she was ready so i didn't push the point with her . Haggen and Red were due back tonight; they had been to Red’s coven to visit her grandma . My mother was still acting off but I just refused to allow Leonor to be left on her own with her . At times I was starting to feel like everything was getting too much for me , I can't remember the last time I felt relaxed . There was so much going on and threats coming from every angle . My mother won't leave my fathers side. My sister keeps trying to get him on his own . If anything was truly up with our mother he would know . The truth is we can't sense her wolf , Onix has tried on more than one occasion . There is a soft knock on my office door drawing me from
Alpha Prince Orion Watching my mate arrive in the main dining hall , my heart swells with love and pride. She is just stunning and oh goddess she's sexy . “ For goddess sake Orion , you know your slavering, '' Lex says as he snickers while he rips into a bit of bread . I shoot him a look basically telling him to shut up , he just shakes his head but stands as the women get to the table . Watching Lex pull out Fallon's chair and give her a warm smile , I turn to hold the chair out when I notice my mate and Red exchange a look then look back at Lex and Fallon . Something is up. I link Haggen and ask if he saw the exchange between them. If he knows what's going on he just looks at me and shrugs at me . There is definitely something that all the females seem to know . “ Orion , baby we are going to head into the city tomorrow to look for something for the coronation and Luna ceremony “ Leonor says as she starts eating . I find my wolf growling so I put my fork down and pinch the br
Leonor pov I knew I was being unreasonable but I had looked after myself for a long time now . Lil kept asking if something was wrong as I was quiet and Fallon looked like she was lost in her own thoughts . Maybe this trip was silly with the possibility of a threat to both Fallon and I , but I just needed time to think, time to breathe . The royal pack is beautiful and has everything you might need but the neutral city has been my home , my comfort and safe place . I miss old Sam and Murren , things were just going too fast . Crossing the border I felt it the shield that protected the pack , Lil had a frown on her face and Fallon was looking at me . The moment the shield was gone I felt it , it was just faint but I knew he was watching . But the truth was i was fucking sick of this shit and was ready for it to be over . I have repeatedly offered to use me as bait to draw the fucker out , but of course everyone thought that was a wrong idea . The thing was I felt no threat from
