POV: Alpha Queen Lexi
The sunrise on such a average Thursday morning. The bright yellow orange and pink among the clouds with a brisk feel in the air. Lexi was off in space thinking of all things need to done in the next as it was going to be her daughters 18th birthday. Under a full spring moon. Lexi had been planning this party for over a year. She was worried and excited Avendra would be her true Fae and would come out and she could find her mate. Lexi was so deep in thought and party planning she didn’t even realize she was going to be late work or that Avendra had walked in to the room. She announced her presence by clearing her throat loadly. Startling her mother from her thoughts. Smiling gently down at her Avendra hugged her mother whispering that she was now late for school and needed to be dropped off. Lexi snapping out of her bag thoughts hearing this quickly changed clothes grabbed coffee and rushed her daughter to the car. After dropping her daughter at school it was off to work nearly an hour late. It will take almost all day to get caught up on work. Normally she would be an hour early for work looking like a hot mess make her rounds then hang out in her assistance desk the rest of the day but this week is going to long and difficult. Meeting meeting and more meetings as all corners of the kingdom would be sendings leaders and speakers in and out. Instead of a hot mess she looked the part of corporate ceo of a large shipping company to the Normies and Queen to all the Fae. Nails filed sharp hair long black and full of volume. Standing at 5’7 black slacks a sheer red silk top. As she entered the bustling office all eyes fallowed her as she strolled to the elevator not making her rounds. Her overly bubbly blonde Assistant jumping up to greet her. With a freash cup of coffee and her list of scheduled meetings for the day as they step inside to go. All is now throw at the window as hand grabs the door from closeing. A 7’8 tall pale man with darkest red hair. Muscles rippled tightly in his black suit. Eyes so blue they are almost white.
A grin fallowed by a blush came across Layla the assistant face as she looked this marvel of man.
Hello gorgeous day lady’s said king Mccrane as he shifted in the elevator with his body guards. The body guards look more like the people being protected rather then their king.
King Mccrane leaned one large hand in the wall smiling at down Lexi well how’s does my queen like the arrangements my clan sent?
Silently nodding while reading through her papers not even phased by his charm like Layla was almost drooling everywhere over them. Finally after a few painful silent minutes a load ding sounded to get off. The body guards and Layla exited first. McCrane gestured to doors as he slid to side smoothly saying beauty befor beast glinting at Lexi heading to the conference room.
Entering in the room Lexi was putting her hair up in a professional bun. Leader from all Fae realm where already seated waiting as she took here’s. They had all gathered to discuss birthday party plans and the yearly mate run. This year would be changed to all all Fae as the princess could take on any Fae form or be hybrid when she takes her transformation under the super moon. Wear wolf, vampire, faerie siren or even a banshee. Not many leaders seemed happy about the new changes as they all started yelling in protest all but a few that stood along the wall.
Lexi raised her hand making the hole room quickly hushed not a protest or peep you could hear a pin drop. All on the wall now snickering knowing what is to come.
I understand and hear you all but my word is final if you and your clans wish not to attend it will be noted. With that being said I do except you to put your best foot forward and show up dressed to impress that is all for this meeting I hope to see you all in week. We will be sending out updates on plans in a few days. Sliding her seat to stand up alpha of the silver clan blurted is it true the blood king is coming?
All eyes wide in fear looking for an answer
Ugh All have been invited including the blood clan but we do not have a confirmed answer from them. Now out! Lexi exclaimed while pushed against the table her hair seeming to be on fire with a cold tight facial expression.
The room still on edge all who was seated scrambled out the door tripping over each other scared to find out the queen’s temper.
Those who where standing shut the door taking a seat. On lexi’s left was McCrane alpha of silver wear wolf clan, Alpha Stain of stain vampire clean and so on the elders of all Fae seated.
Alpha Stain piped up well Blood Clan is that really what they are worried about? Not the fact most of us are in a battle or war? Don’t worry about that I do have it covered pointing at her necklace it’s silver wolfs Bain infused with salt and copper to keep us all from transforming before hand. And if that doesn’t work we have other safety measures in place. Any other questions or stupid statements? She snared
The room unanimously all said no sounding like a broken tune. She left out a soft exhale leaning back into her sit. She had felt her temper start to boil quickly due to stress and lack of sleep. She waved the elders out of sight. It seemed the closer the party got the more stressed and restless she got at night something had her on edge.
She felt as if something was coming but wasn’t sure why maybe it was her nerves? The anticipation of what Fae her daughter would be had her on edge? Lexi then looked at the clock. It was only 11 AM this day was going to drag she thought looking to her left. She realized Mccrane was still seated.
McCane smiled “ My lady I was wondering if you would honor me and my clan by letting me be your date for the party?” “Please take your time to decide I’m sure plenty have asked the same great privilege.” He said with a triumphant smile on his face.
It looked more like conceited smirk make his face ugly lord Lexi wish she could just punch him right in it. But she sat there tapping her nails on table in contemplation when it occurred to her, no one had actually asked like they normally do every year how oddly strange. It was as if he knew, or made it to where he was the only one to ask this annoyed her even more her lovely black hair now seemed to be a bright red flame, making him granite only even bigger just then Layla stumbled in, straightening her blonde hair back up into a ponytail, which looked very frizzy and Messy!
Layla, she explained what happened to you also I’m getting kind of peckish, I realize neither of us have had breakfast and it’s nearly noon would be a great time for some brunch don’t you think? And as far as your request, McCrane you were going to be out of luck again this year ask one of your three wives that you have or take them all. They are quite lovely and I’m sure they would love to be on your arm. She said smugly.
This kind of retort made his face look like he just put into a sour lemon yes, he had three wives, all very lovely, but none as beautiful as she or as powerful as the queen he had been following and doubting all over her for centuries, if he could get her to agree to marry him, he would have an all power wealth and over half of the country under his command, and she knew this, but there was nothing pretty about him to fancy. She reminded him that she was already marked by a mate and he would be nothing compared to her mate! And she finally stood to her feet you could hear the growls of food calling. Now if you will, please excuse us we are going to go get some lunch or better yet brunch.
Feeling rather famished and absolutely annoyed her temper fumed. How hangry was she to be so easily set off by his daily advances. Walking along side, Layla, who seem to still be straightening herself up they decided to start talking discussing the rest of the day as planned all in which were dreadfully boring. What did you disappear and get into anyways to make you look so frazzled Layla, she said, put wanting one finger on her temple, looking at her just so with her head tilted Intrigued Layla’s face blushing bright red. I do apologize for taking so long. Your majesty stammered, Layla, still slightly embarrassed. She couldn’t help poke and prod until finally Layla Huft said well, I found my mate. It is one of McCane’s bodyguards. She said timidly. As if it was something to be embarrassed about. Lexi finally perked up and said tell me everything her eyes are bright as they could be stead of your usual brown. They now seem to be bright purple with enthusiasm, one of her longtime friends and work partners finally one of them would be with their mates. She was excited and wanted to hear everything it helped the day pass swapping stories normally but usually it was Lexi talking, and now it was time for Layla to spill all the beans before they knew it. They had missed three meetings, and the day was now over. Leaving out of the building the rest of the day seemed to go kind of according to plan with some more apology emails finally dark in time for bed Lexi was wore out and was hoping to finally get some sleep getting into her silk nightgown and climbing into her bed and drifting slowly off to sleep.
She feelt a gentle rough hand on her side sliding up and down her bodice. Sparks and fire feels threw her keying in a small gasp of air feeling a strong body now behind her pull her tight. Wanting more she slid one leg over his legs he fallowed her want sliding his leg between hers up and down. A moan slipped her lips as he breathed on her neck and ear while still stroking her body from top to bottom she helped guide his hand from n****e to c**t in a circle motion, with his other hand, gently sliding across her neck, making her roll over into his arms she went to look up and saw nothing just a blank face, which scared her awake not get in her bedroom, seemed to now be on fire, grabbing the fire extinguisher from her right she put the flames out that were on her bed it was 2 AM in the morning. Feeling energized she couldn’t sleep. Guess it was time for a run in the moon light.
Getting up and stretching she could feel the bright light of the crescent moon upon her skin and so could her wolf have been silent for days in her head as if she was almost not there now I wanted to come and play. Transforming in and blink of an eye, her wolf is huge, magnificent, bright, multitone, fur of reds. Stretching her hind legs to her front. Reagan spoke gently. I’ll take it from here you take a nap she said to Lexi. Agreeing in their own head, Lexi slid into the darkness, hoping to hear peace is Reagan took a stroll through the moonlight there for beaming with the flames, bright white coming off of there for looking like wings as they glided through the air.
After a few hours running along river banks of the property line Reagan, so glimpse of the sun starting to rise, and it’s time to go back in she pouted like a little puppy waking Lexi up in their own head. It’s time to get ready for the day arriving back as their alarm went off. Lexi asked her why she had been so silent. Reagan simply replied some thing is coming not sure what but I have been on alert. I’ve been here as I have always been.
The next few days where a busy blur now it was the day be-for the biggest event in centuries. But yet all Lexi could think about was the dreams she keep on having every night. Setting her room a blaze of fire with larger fires the more vivid they became every night. How am I going to sleep tonight I need rest. Maybe if I take wolfs Bain mixed with silver be for bed? She decided to see the doctor for some advice.
Going in the clans medical office was across the property by its self in its own facility. Taking the 20 min walk she finally arrived at a tall boring grey building.
