We don't need any weapons.
I was just thinking I really don’t want to destroy this outfit, I actually kind of like it.
If any of these b*tches try anything, we have a pretty strong aura to dish out. We'll start with that and get less nice as we need to.
I love that my wolf can calm my nerves so quickly. I don't know why I need reminding that I am a strong wolf. I train harder than most people and can defend myself. It's just years of conditioning to appear small and invisible that I need to break out of. And apparently, Alpha Reggie and Luna Anne are going to force me to break out of it sooner rather than later.
We step out and to the side of the elevator waiting on the King and Queen. We are in the main entrance area I came in through last week. I was right, it’s designed to hold hoards of people. As I look around, the people here are milling about conversing and just waiting for the real show to begin. Some look friendly and jovial and others look downright cutthroat, like they are plotting as we stand here.
The outside of the castle has an old world charm to it with the natural stonework and cathedral windows, but the inside is all modern. The floor is a patterson of white and black marble. I can't quite tell what the pattern is for here, but I bet it’s amazing from the balcony.
I am able to look at the artwork and tapestries hung better this time, since the last time I passed through her Xander was dragging me along like a puppy. - Before I can get too lost in my thoughts, though, a beautiful blonde woman about Xander’s age walks up to us.
She doesn't even acknowledge me but places her hand familiarly on the shoulder of the arm I am attached to, clearly being cut out of the conversation she wants to have with Xander.
“Prince Alexander, it’s been so long. I’ve missed seeing you around. Have you been training all this time?” Blondie bats her eyes at him and has this simpering look that I think is supposed to be pouty or playful, but just looks weird on her face. I Xander takes a small step back, pulling me with him, but effectively getting blondie to drop her hand. “I spent most of my time this summer with Skylar and her pack.” He indicates me on his arm and now she can't pretend she doesn't see me.

“Oh you are such a tiny thing, I didn’t even see you there. I hope Alexander did a great job protecting you and your pack.” She moves to turn back to him and ignores me, but I let my irritation show a bit.
“Xander actually came to work with me this summer, he and Alpha Reggie are working on some training protocols and wanted my input.” I smile at her sweetly. Her eyes go wide for a moment, but I’m not sure at which part of my comment.
It could have been the familiar way I used Xander and the Alpha King’s name with no correction from Xander or that I implied they came to me for help. Either way her expression is one I won't forget soon.
“I didn't know you were going by a nickname now, Xander, I like it, it's sexy.” She purrs at him “I'm not, it’s Prince Alexander to you. Skylar has special privileges.” He looks at me and winks before turning us around to watch the elevator open with the King and Queen stepping out gracefully. We move to follow them, leaving blondie standing there staring in disbelief.
