Rose Bailey: My Mate, My Flower Chapter 295

Ebony's POV

Two Months Later

"How can you tell me how to treat my Omegas? They are a part of my Pack, and I can punish them how I see fit." Keith and I met with some of the Alphas who felt our new laws were too harsh. They believed I had no right to tell them how to treat their Pack Members.

"Yeah, and what do you mean an Omega under the age of sixteen is not allowed to work in the Packhouse?" Some of the Omegas let their children help them cook and clean." Another Alpha asked

"Do these children go to school?" I asked

"Some don't go to school. This is because their parents don't have time to get them ready for school."

"Well, as you have learned, I have made it that every child, no matter what Rank, is required to attend school and get an education. You need to make sure they all go to school," Keith said

"This whole thing is ridiculous."

"I am sorry you feel that way, but I will remind you that if you don't follow all of the laws, there will be an investigation. If the parents are the ones responsible, they will be punished. You can also be punished if we find out you are making it where all the children from your Pack are going to school or working under age. I don't care what Rank they are," I said. I could tell many of the Alphas didn't like the changes Keith and I were making. They wouldn't say anything to me or look at me funny, but I could sense their anger.

"We need to make a surprise visit to some of the Packs. I can tell some of the Alphas are not going to follow our laws," Keith said

"I agree," I replied, and we hopped in the car to go home.

*********************

"Good Evening Queen Ebony. Is the King going to be with you tonight?" One of the Pack Members that worked as a waitress asked.

"No. I am meeting Princess Alissa," I replied

"Of course. Right, this way." I followed the waitress to where Alissa was sitting. I had decided it was time for me and Alissa to talk about everything that happened.

Alice was still in a coma. We decided to keep her on life support because the Pack Doctor told us there was a possibility she would wake up. I knew Jacob wanted to take her off life support. He had rejected her, and after everything she had done, he believed she deserved to die. Keith felt the same way, but I didn't want to hurt Alissa like that. Alice was her mother, and even though she was evil. I didn't want her to lose her mother that way. Jacob and Keith said if she ever woke up, she would never see the light of day. I felt Jacob planned on killing her if she ever woke up. 

Alissa didn't get away with helping her mother kidnap me. She is doing community service and working as a maid at the Packhouse. I came up with the punishment because Keith was not okay with her getting away with what she did. I know her punishment isn't as extreme as it would have been if she wasn't my sister, but I can sense she is sorry for what she had done.

After Jacob passed me the power to rule, I started sensing others' auras. I can feel if someone is evil. I have to focus on figuring it out, but it's nice to know who I can trust. Jacob said he could never sense that in anyone and was shocked when I told him I could. Abby thinks I always could sense that in someone but didn't know how to use the ability.

Keith still doesn't trust Alissa, and I understand why. He doesn't want me getting hurt by her anymore. That is why he made me come inside with ten Royal Guards and is waiting in the car for me.

"Sorry I am late. Keith and I had a meeting with some of the Alphas," I said and sat across from her.

"Dad always had those. He seems so happy now that he isn't King anymore. So much more relaxed than he has ever been," Alissa said

"I can tell he seems less stressed since Keith and I took over," I said

"Ebony, thank you for meeting with me. I wanted to let you know I know I was wrong for everything I did to you. I am sorry, and I hope you and I can have a sister relationship someday. That was what I had wanted ever since I was little. Dad would always tell me that I had a big sister and that I would meet her one day. I couldn't wait to meet you, but I got jealous when everyone's attention went to you. I was the only princess, and then you came and took all the attention away from me. I know I seem like a spoiled brat, and I will agree that I am. I never even wanted to become Queen. I just wanted the attention. I wish I had never listened to my mom and helped her kidnap you. I hope you can forgive me," Alissa said

"What you did to me was wrong, and I will never forget. But I feel you are sincerely sorry and regret everything, so I am willing to give our relationship a chance. You are my little sister, and I would like to have a relationship with you," I said

"Thank you, Ebony." The door opened, and Keith walked inside.

"I told him to wait in the car," I said, and Alissa looked at him.

"He is only making sure his Queen is safe. You might as well invite him over to eat with us. He doesn't trust me yet. But I promise I will show him I have changed," Alissa said. I walked over to Keith, and he wrapped his arms around me.

"Are you okay, My Love? I was checking on you."

"Yeah, come on and eat with us," I said, knowing it was hard for him to wait in the car and worry about me.

"You sure," Keith asked.

"Yeah. Come on."

"Hello, King Keith. I wanted to apologize to you as well for everything I did. I promise to prove to you I am sincere," Alissa said as Keith sat beside me.

"Just call me Keith, and I hope you are truly sorry," Keith said

"I am," Alissa said, and Keith nodded. 

I smiled, knowing Keith and Alissa were both trying to get along for me.
