Chapter 43
Chapter 43
It took what seemed like forever to get to the Kingdom. When we reached home My brother, ire,
Cassie, Amber, and Bridget were waiting for us. We shifted as we reached them and my muscles
ached from the long run. Everyone hugged one another as they passed out water and I stepped back
as Bridget was clinging to her mate and Amber was wrapped in Jamesons arms. They all missed one
another. I knew how hard it was to be separated from your mate. I was happy they were all finally
together.
“Where is Trevor?” Bridget asked as we stood there drinking the waters they brought to us, she was
looking everywhere for him, her eyes searching the crowd of warriors. Apparently no one told her he
would be a little behind us.
“He will be here shortly. He was transported in the SUV. We didn’t want to risk him any more injuries.” I
told her.
She nodded her head in understanding. “Well, that makes a lot of sense really if you think about it. He
has been through a lot. It is just hard for me to picture him how you all say he is I guess.”
“He looks much better than before, still a little banged up but because of his blood line he is healing
pretty quickly.” I told her.
Everest cut in then, “Hopefully that is a good sign that his wolf is not abandoning him. Though it doesn’t
matter if his wolf leaves or doesn’t leave, he will always have a ce within the Kingdom if he chooses.
I offered this before I knew who he was. I can’tgo back on my word now.” He let out a nervous chuckle.
I watched Bridget smile at that and you could tell it put her at ease. She was content with it so Everest
moved on to the next order of business.
Everest turned to look at all of the warriors. There was close to five hundred now and King Brent from
the Southern Territories would be bringing many more. “Warriors.” Everest raised both his hands as his
voice boomed across the open space. “I know alot of you have been reunited with your families. Please
follow them to where you will be staying. If you are hungry please feel free to eat whatever we have
readily avable. We are catering breakfast lunch and dinner for you all. Training schedules will be
passed out at dinner tonight once everyone has arrived. I hope you all rx today because this next
week we are training for five hours a day with three hours of getting to know one another. Yes, yes
wolves and Lycans will be mingling and coexisting with one another. If I catch wind or hear of anything
that is putting us up against one another you will be charged with a treasonous war crime and ced in
a cell. Your trial will be whenever this is done and over with. This is an absolute order that everyone
here, during this duration of time, as we are fighting against the enemy treat others within our group
and the group of Southern warriors with respect.” Everest aurora spread out far and wide throughout
the entire Kingdom. It made me wince but did not effect me in the way as it did the others. I watched as
everyone kneeled down to one knee and showed their necks inpliance and submission to his
authority. This only ensured that his order be followed and I could tell he hated that he made every
single Lycan
and Wolf submit to him.
I ced my hand on his shoulder in support as he lifted his aurora from the crowd. I watched as they
stood and all at once “Yes King Everest.” It was spoken throughout the entirety of the warriors. I do not
think one person wouldn’t follow hismand. It was fascinating to witness how powerful Everests
word truly was.
We watched as the warriors who were with their family left. The ones who stayed behind moved closer
to await where they were to go.
“Okay. If you’re with Daniel’s pack I want you going to the Rivers Winding Lodge. Check in at the Front
desk and get your key, enjoy your day. Jeremy’s group staying at the Howling Moon Hotel. Please grabCòntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
your room key and enjoy your afternoon. Camden’s pack you are at
the Sleepy Wolf Hotel. Please grab your room key at the front desk and enjoy the rest of your day. We
will see all of you this evening.” Jameson told them all as we stood by to listen.
Once everyone was gone we said our goodbyes and Everest and myself made our way towards mine
and his offices. He took my hand in his and ced his lips softly on the back of my hand. I smiled up to
him as we walked.
“I so wish I could take you to our room and rx with you but.” He trailed off and sighed.
I finished his sentence before he finished sighing “I know babe, I know. We have so much to get done. I
need to go check and make sure everything is ready for Trevor, King Brent and Miranda and then we
will wee them in and then dinner and we will all be here discussing what to do. Oh and we need to
figure out what to tell Sarah. I just dont know what we should do with her.” My eyes widened at the
realization of how much we still needed to get figured out.
By now I am sure Dexter and his men are fuming. Let us just hope he continues to Brennons and we
can kill two birds with one stone.
“I might have a n for Sarah. You are not going to like it.” He told me. My face crinkled into a frown
“What is your n?”
“Well..” He paused and we stopped walking as he rubbed the back of his head nervously “What if.. we
took her with us?”
“What are you.. What do you mean exactly?” My head tilted to the side some.
“She will still be in prison attire for sure amd defly be watched closely. Maybe we will find a way to
block her Lycan, maybe with Miranda’s help? I don’t know yet, but it might help us with Brennon?” He
shrugged.
“No, it’s a good idea we just need to figure out exactly how we n on executing this idea. Something
we should definitely discuss with the others.”
“Okay, I am d you think so. I really thought you would absolutely hate the idea of having her travel
along with us.” Heughed nervously.
“It is a good idea. I think they will go for it.” I smiled. “See you soon?”
“Of course.” He leaned down and kissed me.
I went a few rooms down and into my own office. I sat and got straight to work. I made sure everything
was in line for King Brent and Miranda’s arrival. I called down to our guest services that ce special
guests in special rooms to make sure Trevor’s room was taken care of and it was.
I sat back and smiled when a knock sounded on my door. “Come in.”
In walked one of the girls who cleans up around themon area. She curtsied for me and held out a
key. “Here is the key that you requested yourdyship.” I stood and walked over to her.
“Thank you very much for helping me with this. I really do appreciate the hard work you and the others
have been doing around here. Woulf you be kind and let Luna Bridget know her nephew is here? Help
her find his toom also please?” I gave her a friendly smile and she returned the smile to me.
“Thank you I sure can do that. I am just d that we could be of some service.” She curtsied and left
again, a better pep in her step it seemed. I sat down andid my head back
on my chair waiting for the first arrival notification.
It wasn’t fifteen minutester my phone dinged. I answered it and Trevor was pulling up in two minutes.
I gathered up his key and called the therapists and had them meet me downstairs.
They met me down and we walked out just as the vehicle stopped. The door popped open and he
yelled “Queen Avalynn! You beat me here.” He made a sad face followed by taughter.
“Yes we did. Not by much though. We just finished getting the packs settled. How are you feeling? How
was the trip?” I asked as we walked inside together.
“It was fine. I feel stiff and I am a bit hungry.” He told me and before I could ask someone was rushing
off in the direction of the kitchen.
“I will have someone bring you a snack. Ready to see your room?” I asked. He looked at me and
nodded “Yeah, where am I staying?”
“Here in the main house of course.” I looked back over to him and he seemed shocked.
“Really? The main Kingdom house? What an honor!” He seemed excited.
We walked to his room and I handed him a key. “Here is your key to your room.” He unlocked it and we
both stepped inside with my two security members who were carrying his things.
He looked at everything very closely, still grinning from ear to ear. He picked up different things, almost
as if he was inspecting them. He walked into his bathroom and stood there “Woah.” he said quietly
“This is fancy.”
“I am still not used to it either, it’s nice though.” I told him. “Super freaking nice, thank you Queen
Avalynn.” “You’re wee. If you need myself or Everest dial three for Everest and four for me.
Dial one for your Aunt Bridget and two for your Uncle Daniel. Dial five for the kitchen and six for any
other assistance you may need.”
He nodded as he sat in a reclining chair,ying back in it. “Dinner is in a few hours. See you there.” I
walked to the door to leave.
“I will see you there!” He yelled back as I shut the door.
Jane and Emma waited for me and I smiled. “Please go and have a rxing day. I am not doing much
and will be fine here. Thank you for keeping him safe and keeping himpany.”
“It was no problem Queen Avalynn.” Jane said.
“Yeah he is a pretty cool kiddo. I am d I could be of assistance to you and for him.” Emma said.
They turned and left chatting to one another. I headed back to my office hoping to catch a small nap
before King Brent’s arrival. I opened the door and made my way across the room having a seat on the
couch. I kicked my shoes off andid back. My eyes closed and I was out rather quickly. I slept for a
good hour before I was awoken by Everest kissing all over my face softly.
“Hey sleepy head. It is time to wake up. They’re about ten minutes out.” He continued to shower me in
kisses as I groaned, almost annoyed with his affection and swatting him away yfully.
“That still leave me with five more minutes!” | protested. “Maybe but you drooled.” Heughed. “Thats
why I’m not kissing you on that part.”
“Ohhh!” My eyes shed open as I looked up to a giant Everest over the top of meughing.
“Well get off of me so I can fix myself then!” I pushed at him. “I was just joking. I only wanted you to get
up.” He teased. “Ya big meanie!” I shoved him off of me finally and he fell to the floor.
He stood and outstretched his hand and helped me off the couch. I stood, fixing my shirt and pants. I
went over to the mirror and made sure my hair was not wild from my nap. When I was finally satisfied
with it we walked down the stairs together holding onto one another.
We stood for a few minutes with all of the other leaders and Alphas awaiting for the Southern Territory
King and his mate, Miranda. Who I waspletely ready to meet. Although she helped Dexter, I
understood she did it for Cassie.
