Adam’s POV I am brought to the arena. Its on top of the mountain. I used to love this place. Emma would bring Augustus and I up here to play in sunlight. “Come to die cousin?” Augustus asks. “She tasted so good. I can see why you want to keep her.”“You are a liar. If you tasted her, you tasted blood not long after. I know my mate,” I smirk knowing Evie would never willingly let him touch her. “She bears my mark,” He snarls. “Forced, not consensual. You can pull any PR stunt you want, you still forced your mark on a female. You are pathetic,” As soon as the words left my mouth he was on me. I threw him back with a strength I was unaware I had.Bruce-Stacey is sending us her strength and Evie is withholding from Augustus. He throws some messy punches that I dodge. What is up with him?“You should be sluggish and slow. I had you poisoned,” Augustus yells. The crowd gasps and is angry. “You see that is your problem. You ruled by fear. Your subjects were loyal because of fear. That

Adam’s POV“Hey Joshua what’s going on? Has the doctor gotten the results already?” I ask excited. “Did you use that recording contraption to make porn with Iris?” He asks angry.“What are you talking about?” Then I remember, I bought the prototype machine that records movies with sound. The first time I used it was with Iris on OH FUCK! “Did Evie see it?”“She collapsed and vomited on the captain of your guard. Lucas and Zulu are with her now. How in the fuck are you this stupid? How is possible that you could be this stupid?” Joshua is pissed. “You finally find your mate, she is perfect, the perfect Queen and your dumbass can’t remember to throw out the tapes of you plowing your human ex-girlfriend? When you got rid of the whore you should have gotten rid of the tape.”“Are you done?” I ask.“I haven’t even begun you bastard,” Joshua snarls. “Lucas wants to challenge your ass. And honestly he would win. The level at which you are , on my lack of respect scale has never been reached

Adam’s POV- Normal Werewolf pregnancy lasts 6 months. Royals, Alphas, and Multiple can come a bit sooner. Dr. Zulu estimated the due date as December 26th, 1982. So imagine my surprise today, December 27th, 1982 that my mate insists on coming to work. “You have got to kidding Evie,” I tell her. “You are literally due any second. I’m willing to stay home with you.” “We need to ramp up the ads for January. The new media production group is coming in today, we need to be there. Carson will have the Blazer ready to rush me home if we need him.” She smiles at me. Carson has been coming to the office bringing his Queen teas, treats, and comfort items. I think everyone is going to be shocked when Evie’s baby is white. “Okay after the media relations people leave I want you in the car coming home,” I tell her. “Fine,” she rolls her eyes. She has been a little icy to me since the tape. I’m not sure I can ever prove my trustworthiness fully again. We walk to the cars, Carson drives her

Evie’s POV Stacey- you do not want to leave our pup! Me- No I don’t but I feel like Adam is working so hard. Stacey-He is transitioning the business over to the human Damien and Lucas. He and Joshua have the kingdom in hand. You can stay home and take care of the future. Do you really want Mia to wake up and see another female?Me-I never saw myself as a stay at home mom. It just isn’t how I saw my life. Stacey-Evelyn, I stayed in the back for years so you could get the education you wanted. I encouraged you and supported you. But if you hire a Nanny so you can leave Princess Mia to go back to an office with humans all day, I’ll rebel! I swear you will be sorry!Me-okay okay. The doorbell ringing brought me out of my thoughts. Carson answered the door. I started that way from the TV room, but stopped when I heard her voice. “He left the office, I want it see Adam now,” Iris demands. “He may have left the office but he is not here, you will need to leave,”” Carson tells her. “O

Evie’s POV“I want every Lycan who followed Joshua questioned,” Adam tells Carson. “As soon as we can call an assembly, I’m naming you my second in command.”I smile at the look of shock on Carson’s face.“Give me my baby, before you drop the future Queen,” I say taking Mia. “I am sorry my Queen,” He says handing her over. “Carson there is no one in the world I can trust right now. I was betrayed by my best friend, Stacey who reads other beasts so well was blind. You have proven yourself and I need to trust someone right now,” Adam says. “I’ll begin the interviews,” Carson nods to us. “Adam I want to find Lucas and my dad,” I tell him. “I know,” He holds be close again before going to make some calls. I hold Mia.Stacey-Are you mad at me for not picking up on Joshua?Me- We were all fooled. Even Bruce. Hell Joshua was able to fool his own Lycan. You can’t blame yourself. Stacey-thanks Evie, but Linc never gave any indication. “Baby,” Adam calls to me from the phone in our bedr
