Chapter 90


    Chapter 90


    207


    In all my years of life. I had never had to panic as much as was in this moment. It was alreadyte


    but I was not done with all the work that was on my desk. I could have left it but due to how busy I


    was this week, I didn’t have time to do most of it and now it was catching up to me. I ran my hands


    through my hair when I saw the stack of files and I nced at the clock on th wall- three p.m. I knew


    I wouldn’t be done in an hour.


    My head was buried in my files when the door to my office opened. I didn’t pay attention to it


    because I knew very few people would dare to just walk in. As he came closer. I smelled his scent


    and a small smile yed on my lips. I tried to bide


    excitement but I knew it couldn’t stay at bay for long Jaxon made his way behind me and ced his


    hands on my shoulders. I couldn’t help but lean back into his hold


    “You look busy,” he mused and I resisted the urge to let out a groan. “Do you need any help? I’m


    done with all of my work for the day.”


    “No, it’s fine.” I tried to assure him but he could hear the lies in my tone. He ignored me and sat


    opposite me then took half of the files off my desk and began to sort through them. I looked up at


    the clock and saw that we had half an hour left and I hoped that we would finish in time.


    We were able to finish with five minutes to spare and I all but rushed out of the pce. I had already


    gotten texts from Kieran asking where I was and I knew he was having a hard time reigning his


    siblings in it took him a while but he adjusted well to life at the pce. At first, he hated therge


    gatherings and standing in front of everyone but he had gotten He could tolerate it at best unlike


    Kiara who actually loved it


    Jaxon drove home in a rush and when we got there, Kieran was waiting at the front door still in his


    school clothes.


    “Where have you been?” he asked. “Kiara wouldn’t stay in her room. I had to lock her inside.”


    My eyes widened. “You did what?”


    Jaxon on the other handughed and pped him on the shoulder. “Good job.”


    used to it


    I stared between the two with wide eyes. I would argue and say Jaxon had bonded with Kieran


    better than any of us. Maybe it was because they were both males but you could always find them


    ying in the yard or training together. It just happened suddenly one day and it never stopped.


    Kieran pretended to not care at first but he loved it and I loved that he had a good father figure.


    “Please let your sister out of her room,” I told him and he shrugged then went over to do as I had


    asked


    While he went to handle that, I went around the back to check on the decorations. It was Kiara’s


    seventh birthday and insisted on having a princess themed party. Jaxon and I spent the entire week


    nning it. We hated having people arou our home so we agreed to let her have two parties- one at


    the pce with all her friends and one here with just us. She know we had set the party for today.


    I could hear her bickering with Kieran as they made their way downstairs. I couldn’t hide my smile.


    They fought like cats they also had each other’s backs. They attended the same school and the first


    time Kieran ever got into a fight was with a b who tried to bully Kiara. When we decided to take


    Kieran in, we never knew how much of a great addition he would be to our family


    “I’ll lock you in your room,” I heard Kiara spit with more venom than any seven-year-old should. “You


    are such an-”


    Her rant turned into a gasp when she saw the pink balloons and decorations. Kieran whispered


    something to her that had her mming her elbow into his side. She slowly made her way forward


    and stared at the massive cake that Jaxon insisted on having. Despite it being just us, he was


    determined to go all out for her. She was and always would be his little girl


    “Is this for me?” she asked slowly and I nodded.


    Kieran rolled his eyes. “I don’t think there’s anyone else in the house who is obsessed with


    princesses”

    She narrowed her eyers him 1 will hit you


    “I’m holding a baby.”

    Iughed and took the baby from his hold making him pout. If there was anything Kieran loved more


    than annoying Kian it was being an older brother. When I got pregnant, he was more excited than I


    was and he had been at Kaden’s side ever since he was born. No one really minded because


    Kaden loved him just as much Kieran was there for everything Sometimes I wondered of Kaden


    waited for Kieran before doing things. He was there when he took his first steps and said


    first words. He was a year and a half now and he was the splitting image of Jaxon.


    Jaxon packed Kiara up before she could actually make do on her promise and hit he brother.


    “Happy birthday, princess””


    Excluding a few food fights, the birthday moved on rather smoothly. Kiara was grinning from ear to


    ear, especially wi Jaxon ced the stic crown on her head. She flushed under the praise and I


    realized that Kiara would do extremely well in the spotlight. That brought a thought to mind that I


    had been thinking of for the past few months but I tried to push in


    away


    “Are you alright?” Jaxon asked when I was clearing up. The kids helped to the best of their abilities


    and although there was a cleaning crewing tomorrow, I wanted to clear my head.


    I nodded but he didn’t believe me because he took the paper tes out of my hands and set them


    back on the table. He led me towards the lounge chair and made me sit on hisp. I sighed and


    curled up into him. It didn’t matter how many years had passed. I still felt like it was my first time


    being with Jaxon. He pressed a soft kiss to my head and waited until I spoke


    “I was thinking about the kids.” I admitted and I heard him humas he waited for me to exin. The


    twins told me about some rumors they heard going around. People in the pack have started


    wondering whether Kieran or Kiara will rule they’re older. I tried to dismiss it but it is getting worrying


    and I think the elders are going to have a conversation about


    soon.”


    Jaxon sighed. “I have thought about it too. Kieran is older but I don’t know if he wants to rule. He


    hates the mechanics thate with this part of our lives but Kiara practically flourishes under it.


    They’re young so we do not have to worry about it for a long time. The heir doesn’t need to be


    named until they are twenty one.


    “Are you sure?” I asked and he nodded. “I just feel like everything is going to spiral out of control


    especially with Kiara and her powers. She hasn’t shown them since that day but Este said they


    were going toe back.”


    “Let’s do something. Let us leave the problems of tomorrow for tomorrow, her powers are not going


    toe back tonight or tomorrow. Thest thing we need is for you to worry, okay?” nodded.


    “Good, now let us get you into bed. I haven’t! alone time with you in far too long.”


    I couldn’t stop myughter as he lifted me bridal style and walked us over to our room. The lights in


    the children’s ro were off meaning they were all asleep and I let out a sigh of relief. They were


    children, they deserved the rest.


    The next day went by like any other until Jared rushed into my office. Excluding Jaxon, only he and


    his brother stormed my office without knocking. Once I saw the panic on his face, I immediately rose


    to my feet. I didn’t need him to tell m what was wrong. I just followed him as he led me towards the


    council room


    Devin- the new Beta was standing there. He was no Aiden but he was effective and I didn’t know if it


    was due to the sting of Aiden’s betrayal but he didn’t have the same close bond with our family that


    Aiden did.


    “What’s


    the asked and he opened his mouth to speak but closed it almost immediately. “Can someone tell


    me what


    “The council wishes to speak to you but there is something else, he cleared his throat before


    continuing. “A womati named Este arrived today and she demanded an audience with you”


    I pushed past him immediately and rushed into the room. Everyone was seated including Este


    which I could tell annoyed the other council members. They were s


    *ckers for rules but neither of them was willing to tell the witch that she could or could not sit at the


    table. I could see the relief in Jaxon’s eyes as he saw me and I wasted no time in crossing the


    length of the room and taking my spot next to him C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.

    Chapter 90


    “Is there a reason we were called?” I asked and the elders looked between themselves.


    It was Loris who was brave enough to turn to Este. “A council meeting is about tomence.”


    “Don’t let me stop you,” she drawled as she picked at her nails. “That is exactly why I am here.”


    87a


    Loris’ cheeks heated but he knew better than to drag the issue. I didn’t know why Este was here but


    I knew it was important. It took a minute for Loris topose himself and he turned to us.


    “We havee to express our concerns about the future of the throne,” he began and I


    immediately knew what it was about. I turned to Jaxon who gave me a soft look of assurance with


    his eyes. “It is our desire to ensure that an Eaton will im the


    throne.”


    “All of our children are Eaton’s.” Jaxon deadpanned and Loris swallowed deeply. He knew this


    wasn’t going to be as easy as he thought


    “Yes, but Kieran is not your biological son, Kiara is the first born. It is her-


    “Allow me to interrupt, your majesties. Este cut in and she sat up for the first time. “Kiara cannot be


    allowed to rule the lycans.


    “Excuse me?” I didn’t realize the words had left me until Este turned to him.


    “I cannot tell you more than I already have because witches are not allowed to interfere but if she


    rules, she will not achieve her destiny.”


    That is preposterous. She is the rightful heir to the throne,” Loris all but yelled.


    Voices began to raise and I lifted my hands to my temples to stifle my headache. They were adults


    and yet they were giving me worse of a headache than my three children were.


    “Shut up!” I yelled and everyone fell silent. I turned to Este. “Thank you for the warning, we will think


    about it and for the rest of you, you are dismissed.”


    I could tell they wanted to say more but I knew they wouldn’t risk it especially with the death re


    that Jaxon was shooting” at all of them. They bowed and I waited until thest person had left


    before I turned to Jaxon.


    “What happens now?” I asked and for the first time, I saw him look helpless.


    “I don’t know but whatever happens, we will face it together.”


    I smiled softly. “Together.”
