It’s been a week since the twins‘ incident. Phoebe has taken them both with her everywhere she goes, and they both seem to love being the center of her attention. As expected, the alphas of all three packs that those kids are from have called for a sit- down.
Originally, I thought my sweet angel was joking about ruining the lives of these people for what was done, but she was not. She has all of their information–things they’ve probably forgotten and things that none of them are going to be happy about if they try anything to make Aizen and Ayrie feel as if they were the ones in the wrong.
We both agreed not to take them, and I called my mom to ask if she wanted to watch them. I didn’t even finish telling her why when she was already pestering my father to get her here.
I thought I was afraid of Perry when she was upset. A murder spree is one thing, but this is the kind of destruction that sets an example to all the other idiots who dare glare in our direction, and I am here for it.
“I have a confession, My King,” Malcolm says as he knots his tie in the reflection on Phoebe’s car. “I was afraid of what you might do in that office. It’s why I stepped in. What her majesty is about to do is downright diabolical. Mostly because I know what she’s doing is legal. I think I’m afraid of her, and she’s known to be the nicest lady.”
“Same page club, man.” I laugh watching my mate lock up the front door before walking in my direction. “It’s always the ones that seem nice you gotta look out for.”
She looks amazing in all black. Her hair is much longer than when we bumped into one another again, and she has it down for the first time ever. The dark waves shine against the sunlight, framing her face perfectly and really bringing out the color in her eyes.
Gevin is telling her what the meeting is going to be about, and she’s just listening. When she gets to me, he excuses himself and follows behind Malcolm. The two are starting to become friends.
“Your parents are going to stay with the kids. They have two teams somewhere,” she looks around nervously.
“Hey, they’ll be fine with just my parents here anyway. This place is a fortress.” I try to reassure her. “Let’s go. We don’t want to be late.
“The Queen is never late. Everyone else is simply early,” she shrugs me off. I open the door for her. She gives me a peck and gets in the car.
“That’s a quote from The Princess Diaries. Julie Andrews delivers it. I think that and The Devil Wears Prada are her favorite movies.” Perry says from my earpiece. “It checks out with her personality.”
“How the fuck did you get onto my earpiece, you little shit?” I growl.
“Jar,” she laughs as I go around to get in the car.
I’m serious, Perry. What the hell are you even doing?”
“Well, I couldn’t be there. I’m in Austria trying to convince My King not to kill all of the alphas here. I can’t see how things with my niece and nephew go, so this is the next best thing.”
Did you know about this?” I ask Phoebe.
“I did not, but I’m honestly not surprised,” she smiles, looking down at her tablet. She going through several images and files.
“Are you ready?” I ask her.
“Yeah,” she says nonchalantly. Cevin and Malcolm get in the car.

“Are you?” Perry asks. As soon as Cevin starts the car, she syncs up to the speaker. “Hey, Phoebs.”
“Hey,” Phoebe grins. “How’s Austria?”
“A mess. Jonas asked me to do the thing.” The two of them laugh.
“Don’t do the thing. He’s just frustrated.”

“What the fuck is the thing?” Cevin asks.
“Making all the bad guys go away,” Phoebe smirks.
“I mean this from the bottom of my heart,” I laugh. “Jonas and Perry are the bad guys.”
“Aww, Nathan. I didn’t think you held us in such high esteem.” Perry coos.
“Don’t fucking call me that,” I growl at her.
The drive to neutral territory goes by slightly faster than I expected. I think I’m nervous. I love Phoebe, but she’s got a nasty temper regarding the twins. It feels a lot like Midnight is encouraging her plan. I’m also a bit excited. I still don’t believe she can hurt a fly. I’ve seen her profile, and I just don’t buy it.
The team my father put together to accompany us is not what we are used to. It’s a little over the top, but I agree with him for once. This is a show of power. I didn’t think I’d ever have to resort to tactics like this. I’ve always been on my own, and I’ve always preferred it. This is for the public. What Phoebe has in store for them is what one of us can do when someone flags down our attention.
Patrol wolves surround the area in wolf form as we pull into the arena. To my surprise the fucking alpha King is here. Phoebe and I look at one another knowingly. She pulls her coat back to show me her weapon. I am one hundred percent sure my mother gave her that hunting knife.
“No,” I lean in to give her a peck. “None of that. My parents shouldn’t be teaching you this shit.”
“Tell her not to leave that behind. You should have a weapon on you as well,” Perry says as I go around to get her door. Our team lines up and sets a perimeter.
I ignore her and take my mate’s hand. The two of us make our way inside. The Beta Prince Regent greets us. Ace Savage. His eyes go straight for her before moving to me.
“Knightly,” he says, and motions us to follow.
“How’s it going, Ace?” I ask.
“Same old shit, man,” he says. “A Rizen, huh? Bet your Dad’s all wet over the pups,”
“Something like that. I laugh.
Ace is Roman’s age. The two of them are close. They’re the same rank and as a prince of the throne, he has free range to do whatever the fuck he wants. He was done with his mom’s shit long before the King was. He’s a special kind of wolf. No one really knows why he hides it. I know he’s not a hellion or a silverback, but other dangerous breeds are out there. He could be any one of them.
How’s the doctor?” Phoebe asks out of the blue.
“Great, he answers to my surprise. “I’ll tell her you said hi.”
Thanks. Did she end up at Magique General?”
“She did. It’s where she’s getting her residency. I can’t believe you remember her,” he says, stopping at the entrance to the

main arena.
“She saved my daughter. I’m never going to forget Dr. Noland, Phoebe smiles. He opens the double doors for us and lets us
- in.
Inside is the Alpha King with the alphas of the families of those kids that got busted up by my baby princess. I laugh, letting Phoebe take the lead. They all glare at the two of us as the sound of her heels against the concrete flooring catches their
attention.
Savage stands when she approaches him. She looks around the room until her eyes land on the man with the black eye. She gives a satisfied smirk before turning her attention to the Alpha King
“Are you kidding me? You were called in over some kids fighting?” she asks him.
“It’s just a precaution,” he shrugs. He finds it just as hilarious as we do. “Knightly, Rizen Have a seat
