The Prisoner’s Princess Chapter 50

Bryson

I didn’t know what I was doing, but Ven’s idea worked. She seemed normal now, not just pushing herself to be. She yawned tiredly, and went to sleep in my arms. I would let her rest. She seemed to need it more and more these days. Her eyes had bags under them, and she felt so frail. I shook the thought from my mind, and went into my office to contact Zack. He answered on the third ring.

“Alpha, good morning.” He said respectfully.

“Good morning, any reports?” I asked. He yawned.

“I would like to inform you that I am the witness to nearly 415 oaths taken, making everyone…. Except your stepfather swear loyalty.” He said tiredly. “Also, I would like to inform you that the Alpha floor here is ready, as well as the sauna if you wish to relax.” He said with another yawn.

“Release him and banish him. If he will not kneel, I cannot trust him. And what is the update on Vincent?” I asked.

He yawned, then apologized. “He’s been spotted at the very edge of PineMoon twice now, but has been seen headed to VioletMoon borders. He’s probably hiding with Alpha Greg until he comes up with a plan.” He said tiredly.

“Did you sleep?” I asked him.

“No Alpha… I kept having nightmares of being skinned alive and hung to dry sir.” He said honestly, and I chuckled. “Alpha that isn’t helping.” He complained.

“You are pardoned of the crime of doing your job Beta, now go take a nap.” I said seriously. He was no good to me tired. I had other Betas that could take over if only for a little while.

“Thank you Alpha, may I request tomorrow off, it’s Libby’s birthday tomorrow.” He asked sheepishly.

“What do you think the answer to that is?” I asked him firmly.

“…. No?” He responded.

“I’ll have Isabelle help me if I need anything.” I told him and hung up. For Lady’s sake… I am not a tyrant.

I hung up and walked to our room to check on my mate. I saw my mate sweating in her sleep. She didn’t have a fever; she was just hot. I wondered were all women of Kaiden’s line like this. She clung to her stuffed unicorn, and I took the blankets off her. She seemed to be a bit relieved after that, and I wiped her forehead. I felt as if it could have been her powers as a Charred One.

I looked over her the rest of the day. Pack business would have to wait, because she was more important… and I almost believed that brat girl… I would have smelled that she was unfaithful. What was I thinking? I’m an idiot. I almost killed Beta, and I would have locked her in a holding cell, and just kept her there. She was my mate, and though I can’t kill her, I would keep her from other males.

I growled. This was why I couldn’t let Zackary live here, both me and my wolf are possessive. She is mine. I smelled her scent, and nipped her lightly. I wanted to take her, to lay claim on her again for the pack to know, but now was not the time. She was recovering from her and her wolf’s fight. It wouldn’t be right to wake her up to put my scent on her, when I could do that by just laying in bed with her.

So do that. Growled Ven. He had a point, and I crawled in bed with my mate, but I wasn’t tired. I didn’t like watching TV, nor did I use the phone for anything other than business. So I sat there, in the silence, occasionally hearing the chatter of the pack downstairs. No one needed me, so I enjoyed the scent of my mate, and occasionally looking out the window. She snuggled into me, and she seemed to stop sweating so much.

My mate was asleep, and his mouth was open. It looked late, so I looked at my phone. It was 1am. I debated on going back to sleep, but I was hungry…. Lady I could eat a buffalo. I went downstairs to hear chatter, but no one had seen me yet. Living in the forest with my mate had made me a little quieter than most.

“So, do you think that’s Alpha’s pup?” Asked a female warrior. There were gasps, then a slap sound. A light playful one.

“Mindy… WHO in their right mind would want that old man, when they have a literal fairy tale descended from a GOD fucking them?!” Whisper shouted another, and it sounded like she was throwing something light at her. There were giggles.

“I heard the girl in Cell 13 went into heat last night! Can you believe that?!” Said another. There were murmurs of disbelief, and I held in a growl…. She lusts for what is mine.

“It’s true, my mate told me about it this morning. Fuck I bet that must hurt without a mate…. I didn’t even know that was a thing.” Said one sympathetically.

“It’s not, but again, he’s a mythical beast or something?” Said the confident girl. They all hummed in agreement.

“Luna’s got a nice ass though. Man’s got taste.” Said the playful voice and there was a playful slap. “What?! I got Amy…. Don’t tell her I said that!” She whisper yelled.

There was a small scream from the confident girl, and they all looked at me.

“Oh Shit! Good Morning Luna!” said the woman that I heard first. They all bowed and looked at the door, but I stopped them before they could.

I pulled some raw beef out the fridge and just started eating it with my hands. I was hot and hungry. “I’m not mad, but sit have breakfast with me… feel free to eat something else though. I’m just doing what the baby craves.” I told them honestly, and they relaxed a bit.

“My Luna forgive us.” Said one with black hair.

“No worries! Seriously. I Knew that little brat was going to start some shit like this…. And I let her live anyway. It was my bad call, and I have to live with it.” I mumbled.

“My Luna you may not know this, but we are the Packhouse Inner Guard. We are literally here to make sure that you’re safe. I’m Makai.” Said the confident one. She was at least 6’7, and sported a lean muscular build now that I looked at her. The Asian woman was a damn giant. I could trust my life with her. She was probably stronger than most men.

“No Luna, you showed mercy. I think you did right. If you would have just killed her, no one would have spoken up for you at the party. That kind of rumor sticks around until it’s defeated multiple times. Oh, and I’m Nan” Said another she wolf warrior, who decided to have Marshmallow Matey’s brand cereal. She sat next to me. She was another giant, though a tad shorter than Makai. She was a blonde model. The others followed suit.

“I agree with Nan.” Yawned the shortest girl with ruby hair. “I’m Mindy by the way.” She smiled.

“So how big is he?” Asked the one who said I had a nice ass. She was the second tallest, and her dark tan skin and bouncy black curls fitting her personality. There were snarls.

“Kat be Silent.” Growled Makai, but she waved her hand dismissively.

“I’m Gay And Mated. What am I gonna do, change teams and lust for a second mate over my true?” She snarled playfully. We all hummed in agreement, even my wolf could see she was just curious. The others were too, and I figured why not?

“Would you believe me if I told you it swings halfway to his knees when it isn’t hard?” I mumbled and they giggled.

“Ah, he’s only half as big as my toys.” She said playfully, and I spit out my water snorting. I hadn’t had girl talk in what seemed like years, and even then, Mini was my only buddy. I was the Alpha’s daughter, no one would talk to me about this kind of thing. There were laughs around, and the air was light.

“Luna, I know you can’t drink, but would you like juice with us after work?” Asked Makai with a smile.

“Sure! I haven’t hung out with girls since my mom came over.” I beamed.

“I know, we have been your guardians since.” She said and I nodded. There were more giggles, and at 1:30am, we all started sharing cake and milk.

“Unit Leader Tomas said that perimeter is secure.” Said Makai, who got a grilled cheese out the oven.

“Good…. Because I want to see Emma.” I mentioned after finishing my large steak. There were murmurs of disagreement in unison.

“My Luna, we will lose our jobs and die because our oath was broken. You cannot do this.” Said Mindy seriously. They nodded in agreement with her.

I grunted in frustration.

“Permission is given.” Said a voice behind me, making us all jump.

“Bryson I’m going to put a damn bell on you!” I snarled, but my wolf wagged her tail at his laughing at us.
