Rose Bailey: My Mate, My Flower Chapter 214

Ebony's POV

I stood there stunned by his words. He actually wanted me and Keith to become the Werewolf King and Queen. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. He has told me multiple times that I am the Heir to the Throne and the only one that can become Queen. 

"You want Kieth and me to become the Werewolf King and Queen?" I asked

"Yes, I have told you that it is your birthright. You are the true Heir to the Throne. Keith is your Mate, so that he would be the KIng. But you are the one who will have the last word," Jacob said

"What do you mean?" I asked confused

"Keith may be the King, but that doesn't make him the most powerful of the two of you. You are the one that holds the power of the rightful Heir. It is in your blood because you are my daughter," Jacob said 

'So what you are telling me is that my word would beat Keith's?" I asked

'Yes, that is what I am saying. You are the real leader. The one that our people will follow. It isn't; the same as Alpha and Luna, where the Alphas are the leader of everyone. This is about Royal Blood and power. You have my blood running through your veins, Ebony. Even now, at the Silvermoon Pack, if you used your Aura, you would be more powerful than Keith," Jacob said 

I wondered how Keith would feel about what Jacob was saying. Keith is an ALpha and has always wanted to rule. How would he feel if he found out that my word would beat his?

"I am not trying to worry you or anything. I just want you to know that truth. The truth of who you are. I am not lying when I tell you that you are supposed to rule over all the wolves. You are meant to be Queen. You need to realize who you are and understand no matter how you grew up. It is in your blood," Jacob said 

"Have you figured out what you would like to order?' The waitress asked as she walked up to us. We ordered our food and were silent until she came back with our food. 

"I hope I didn't ruin your mood by telling you all that," Jacob said while we ate.

"No, it is just a lot to take in. I knew I was meant to become Queen, but I never thought it would be like this. I also thought I had longer to decide if I wanted to become Queen. If Alice is found guilty, then that means you want me to take over immediately. I just learned how to be Luna, and now you are telling me you want me to take my place as Queen while I am still in High School," I said 

"It may sound like a lot, but it is in your blood, Ebony," 

"Let's stop talking about that right now. It's too much," I said 

"Okay, we don't have to talk about it now," He said 

"Thank you," 

"So when do you want to start training? Keith told me about what happened with the she-wolf that challenged you while you were in training. From what he says, you did amazing," Jacob said

"I won if that is what you mean by amazing. I ended up losing control and used my abilities," I said 

"I will teach you how to control your gifts. Don't feel bad about losing control. It happens to all of us," Jacob said

"You lost control before?" I asked

"Yes, I did. I lost control of my abilities more than once. I trained my entire life, knowing that I would have gifts. You had no idea you would have any and were still able to calm yourself before you killed the she-wolf who, I heard, tried to claim your Mate as hers. You are way stronger than you give yourself credit for," James said. 

It felt good having him speak to me like that. He didn't scowl at me for losing control. He didn't scream or tell me how useless and weak I was like my mom would have. Instead, he seemed proud of me, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional. I couldn't help the tear that fell from my eye. 

"What's wrong, Ebony? I didn't hurt your feeling or anything, did I?" He asked. I could see he was concerned by the look he was giving me. That was what I had never seen in my mom's eyes. She was never worried for me or cared about my emotions. She could care less if I was sad or mad. 

"No. You didn't do anything wrong. It is just I was surprised you didn't tell me how terrible I am at controlling my gifts. Mom would have told me how useless I am for not being able to control them and for embarrassing her," I said

"You are not useless, and you never have to worry about her talking to you like that again," Jacob said. My mom was still in a cell at the Blood Moon Pack. Uncle Michael asked what I wanted him to do with her. I told him he could do whatever he wanted for her punishment if he didn't hurt her physically. I was mad at her and knew she would never be the mother I wanted her to be, but I still didn't want anyone hurting her.

After Jacob and I finished eating, we headed back to the Packhouse. "Thanks for joining me for dinner, Ebony. I will see you tomorrow morning so we can begin your training. Well, start off where we left before you left the Royal Pack," Jacob said

"Okay. I will see you in the morning," I said, and we both went our different ways. 

On my way to Keith and my room, I thought about what Jacob had said about Keith and me taking over as the Werewolf King and Queen and wondered if I would make a good Queen.
