You infuriating man, she sighed as she leaned in so their foreheads were touching. How
about just being honest with me and trusting that I m several dozen times older than you and wiser and
that I can make up my mind like a grown woman? Tell me the truth, Terrance. Just tell me what s
going on in that head of yours!
Like right now? he asked in a confused voice. Good to know elders were dummies when it
came to matters of the heart too.
Yes! I thought she was going to bash him on the head or rip out her hair in frustration.
I ve never wanted anyone more than I want you. I m so turned on with how sexy you are and
how good you smell that I ve had a hard time focusing on anything besides getting that dress off of you
and claiming you right here and fuck it who sees us, he growled as he cornered her against the wall
and mashed his mouth down to hers. Well, well, well. I d say that was a start.
Um, let s give them the room, Elan chuckled.
Five minutes, the elder growled. Then she ll make her speech.
Ten, the Queen moaned.
Right on, Talcott snickered. We ll guard the door. We all hurried out into the hallway and
eleven minutes later, they joined us, a few buttons missing from the Queen s dress, but otherwise
nothing much else out of place.
You say it will be days of that during the full moon now that he s bitten me? the Queen leaned
down and asked me quietly. I couldn t help but see the smirk on the elder s face, knowing full well
he d heard her.
And more, I giggled. You re lucky he waited until everyone left the room. Wolves are into
outside and public displays. You should see the parties at Ayden s house from what I hear. I m trying
to talk Elan and Talcott into going. Tyler says they re a trip.
I think if we went we d put a damper on them, she hedged.
You re all-powerful, I snickered. Can t you cloak yourselves?
Why yes, yes I can, she purred with a mischievous twinkle in her eye. Glad to know I could
help.

Now that everyone understands the purpose of tonight, my second has been named, and all my
attach�s have been announced, along with the plans for the palace, there is one more thing that has to
be addressed, my mother said with a bright smile. It s something personal and closer to my heart.
I groaned internally. She was going off speech. What was she up to? I really hoped she wasn t
going to tell everyone that Elder Dawson officially claimed her. I was thrilled for her but that could
potentially backfire that it took them six months to get their shit together!
For a long time there has been something that has weighed heavily on me. A secret I have kept
for fear of ruining the life of someone I loved more than I can put into words. Now that I know that
isn t the case and he knows the truth, I see no reason to keep it a secret anymore. I felt my eyes go
wide as I got light-headed. After discussing it with my loving mate, and Loch, the court healer and
witness to the events, I d like my son to take his rightful place at my side.
There were several gasps and exclamations of shock and outrage. I couldn t take my eyes off of
her, standing there in all her beauty, commanding respect from the room as she oozed power. She
looked out at everyone but kept glancing back at me.
I understand this comes as a surprise, my mother said calmly, but firmly. However, there is
only so much I m willing to explain about my personal life and to be quite frank and to use a phrase I
have learned from my dear friend, King Rylan, this is happening so if you don t like it, shove it. I felt
myself pale as spots formed in front of my eyes. My son is an honorable man who our people are
lucky to have. He has served us well and without hesitation before he even knew the truth.
I kept it from him and let his father raise him because his father found his mate, and thus he
would have a loving family away from the eyes of the royal court. It was years after my Nahal died
and those of you who were alive then know what I suffered. As my people I would hope that you are
happy someone was able to comfort me and remind me that life went on because that is what this man
did for me. Not only that, but he gave me the gift of a son who I love.
That is all that should matter. He is of my blood and thus, a royal fae of pureblood. Loch can
attest to that. I wanted this known sooner, but when the woman who raised him died and then his
father, I never felt it my place to tell him the truth and shake the foundation he knew. So for those of
you who are mothers, I don t have to tell you the sacrifices we make for our children in the name of
what is best for them. That is what I did. I kept it to myself for his happiness.
When I found out recently he knew the truth I was filled with joy only to learn he thought I [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
