The Lost Princess Of The Lycans Chapter 152: Preparing To Travel

Kings Ray POV

I was surprised that Sarah wanted to make love after everything we'd been through and her, knowing that we were returning to the White River clan. She looked incredibly beautiful, and with that blue see-through pajama set that she was wearing after we made love, we went to sleep. Surprisingly, she did not have any nightmares that night. It was an excellent night. We woke up refreshed. The pups surprisingly slept through the night. We all got up at about the same time. The pups were starving, which was a good thing.

They downed the bottles that were in the fridge. The nannies bathe them, dress them, and pick out outfits for the day and tomorrow evening. We will be heading to the White River clan. I'd already phoned Caleb before leaving, and Caleb said that our quarters were ready and everything was also prepared for the pups. He has also set up tents for the warriors. I was eager to get to the White River clan to see what progress had been made. Suppose any progress has been made. Also, I was keen to deal with anything that needed to be dealt with there, which would be one of many stops on our way back to the palace. Next, we're going to go to the Red River clan.

They usually kept to themselves and were harmless. They did help in this recent battle, and I appreciated them. They were injured, and I needed to see what we could do as the queen and king. I decided that morning I would pack my bags because Sarah had already packed her bags and the pup's bags. Before we left, I phoned the bank to see how things were going there. I also needed to deal with the company as well. I haven't dealt with them for many, many, many months now, and I needed to get that taken care of. I also needed to see what else I needed to attend at the palace.

I was going to trust my Delta to start tending to those needs. All the condolence letters that had been sent out, and then we needed to have a farewell ceremony for all the lost Lycans. Fortunately, the clan now residing here lost only a handful of people. I've already met with those families, conveyed my condolences, and thanked them for their brave service and family sacrifice.

The mates of the fallen warriors were taking it well. A lot of them had children, so I knew that they would survive to be able to raise those children, and I hoped that they would find second-chance mates. I knew it would be difficult for them, and I had already ordered monthly allowances for those families so they would be taken care of financially and their pups could go to decent schools and have everything they needed. I still needed to deal with the prisoners in the dungeon here. As far as I know, they were petty crimes requiring no more punishment than a jail sentence.

All the murderers and rapists have been put to death already, so everything is pretty much wrapped up here. The restoration projects and rebuilding are doing well. The new alpha house was almost entirely built. I was eager to see the progress the next time I came here. Brittany has already been training the Warriors, and she's already redone the training house and training grounds for the Academy. I knew that she would do her best as a female alpha.

It would not be easy initially for her and her mate to adjust to the new responsibilities, but I knew if anyone could do it, she could. I was worried about her being overstressed, but Brittany handled many things in her day. She had also had the proper training of a princess and a queen, so there was no doubt in my mind that she would handle herself, respectively, and within her dignity. I then had the vans and the cars gassed up and fueled up for tomorrow evening's departure. I wanted to travel in the evening because we were less likely to run into trouble on the road, even though Zorro was dead and Ronald was too. Sarah was still in danger. I was sure of it. I just had this feeling. I wanted to ensure everything was taken care of and handled and all the proper security measures were implemented.

There was still quite a bit to do before we left, and to ensure everything was taken care of after some time in the office. I went to the kitchen to get a bite to eat. Sarah was sitting at the table she had on this most beautiful dress. It was blue, and it had little white daisies on it. She looked amazing. She also got her appetite back. She had a lot of food in front of her, shoveling it down like she hadn't eaten in months. The poor thing. I love her so much.

I hate to see her suffer, but women are strange that way. When they're stressed, they don't eat. One thing I disagree with about the opposite sex is that they would start themselves if it weren't up to their mates to help them eat when they're stressed, and I was thinking about last night with Sarah. I'm still in shock that she would even contemplate doing something like that before leaving, but I had a feeling that while we were at the White River clan, there wouldn't be much lovemaking going on, as she would be in fear a lot. That was something that I hoped I could remedy because I did not want her to live in fear any longer. I've kept her safe since I found her, held her, and helped her.

I'm very concerned about the people who have hurt her and have not been brought to punishment, yet I knew it was going to be a long, difficult time there. I sat down with a plate of food with Sarah. As before, I sat down, pulled her chair close to me, picked her up, and put her on my lap as we were eating. I rubbed her back and whispered sweet nothing in her ear. She was blushing by the time I got done because I had mentioned something about her round breasts and what I wanted to do with them. I don't know if it's like this for every mate, but I know my parents would do things like this.

I sure wish they were around to give me parental advice and advice about relationships because I had no idea what I was doing, but I was doing the best that I could based on their examples. We finished eating, and Sarah danced off into our bedroom to tend to the pups.

She had mentioned having the nannies bring them out to the living room so that they could enjoy exploring the house. I really don't think they have been on a tour of the house since they were born. I think they've been mainly in the nursery or in this secret room for their protection, but I don't want them to get too used to this house as we were going to be leaving.
