From Princess To Queen

A Father's Redemption

“I am leaving for Dad’s office now. Will you be okay in there watching?”

“Yes, we will be okay. Your uncles will be with you and have an earpiece for listening to your conversation.”

“Okay, then I am out of here. See you all in a bit; we will see what daddy dearest wants.” she kisses her mate and walks out the door winding her way through the castle to his office that will be hers soon.

“Man, I got a wif of what Matthew smells like when Clara walked out of the room. Need some room spray out there.” Xavior states with disgust.

“That must be the stuff Kelly put in the water system, making him stink. It will take a little while to leave his system unless he drinks lots of bottled water. We must ensure he does that starting this morning with his breakfast.”

She walked to her father’s office, where he was at the table setting it up for breakfast. He puts the plates out for both of them and the breakfast items. They sit down and start eating, he still stunk, but that would be for a while. Clara could not let her guard down with her father because she did not know how he would be, he was very moody, and you never knew what person would come out of him.

Xavior sends a mind-link to Clara to have plenty of water for her father when he comes in. He needs to get that shit out of his system ASAP. She agreed, grabbed several water bottles, and poured them into a whisky cantor on his desk.

“Can you please, for the last time, tell me more about my family, father?”

“No, we are not going down that road again, angel.”

“Why? I don’t know my mother or siblings if I have any.”

“You do have siblings, three to be exact. Listen, I have reasons for you not knowing your family and for me to raise you alone. Did I do right by you for that? Probably not, but I needed to train you or groom you for being the next heir to the throne. Especially since your brother does not want it and refuses to take over one day.”

“Speaking of taking over all the pack lands, when can I do that? What are you talking about? My brother wants to avoid taking over as King. ”

“Not any time soon, my darling Clara. It will all happen in good time, trust me.”

“What did you want to talk about, Dad?”

“I am so sorry for treating you how I have been, putting you on the back burner. Banishing your mother from her rightful position as queen. I am not a good person for doing this to her.”

“No, you are not father, but I will tell you this Felix is neither a good person nor the rogues you hang out with. Also, you have pissed off many of the allied packs and our trusted people here in our territory. They want to see you gone for good.”

“Huh, never thought they disliked me like that.”

“No, they loath you, father, and are waiting for me to take my rightful place on the thrown, but you will not allow that to happen; why?”

“I have my reasons, Clara.”

“Not good enough, Father; we all need answers. What exactly are you trying to do with Felix and that woman you keep bringing here?”

“We are mere friends, Clara, and that is all you need to know.”

“Father? Because you are replacing my mother and have been doing so for quite some time now. Tell me, Father, are you trying to redeem yourself for your behavior over the years or hiding something that will hurt us all?”

“I am apologizing for being the absentee father that I have been over the years in raising you, and I want to get to know the woman you have become. Is that all right with you?”

“I suppose as long as there are no ulterior motives behind it is all I ask.”

“There are no motives behind it, Clara. I want you to be happy. Speaking of being happy, how did you get that mark on you?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Daddy. What mark is that?”

“You are mated to who? I bet he is not worthy of being the next King of this kingdom.”

“Ahh, I see where this is going; you think I have a mate I will leave my thrown so that I will be throwing my crown away? Fat chance, father, my mate will sit beside me and respect my decisions as I make them, and we will make them together, which will benefit all packs, just not here, but all over the world.”

“So when do I get to meet this mate of yours?” King Matthew questions as he does not like the attitude of his daughter.

“You already know him; he had to leave for his pack to do business before we mated but came back because an imposter was pretending to be him. His name is Xavior, and his true Gamma is working with Felix to obtain information about him and his pack, when they will be attacking next, and how they will be attacking.”

Matthew was furious he wanted Clara to be mated to Felix, not Xavior. Matthew had not spent enough time with her and Felix in the same room to force them to form a bond. Now he has a price he has to pay that she is mated to her true fated mate. Matthew knew Felix would run the kingdom down if he and Clara were to mate.

“Why would you leave Mom for Libby? She is a rogue and not a good person, just like Felix is not good. He goes around wiping out all the packs he can for status and trying to become the biggest alpha possible. He wants to rule over every pack and take what is not his.”

“Clara, I cannot answer that right now, but when I was just there, something snapped inside me, and I felt disgusted by being there with her and the rest of the rogues. I had to leave immediately; that is what I did. I took one of the vehicles and left some of my warriors there, not letting them know I had returned. I could not stand to be touched by her.”

“Huh, that is interesting, but you still stink and need to drink a lot of water. I sat aside for you today, okay? I have meetings to get to now, so we can talk more later?”

“Sure, Clara, I will be around the rest of the day. I may rest in my room as I feel I have been wiped out for years.”

“Maybe you need to have the doctor check you out, I will call him, and he will meet you in your suite.”

“Thanks, Clara, for looking out for me,” Matthew said with sincerity.

She contacts the doctor, and he meets her father in his room an hour later. He checks and runs blood work and other chem pans to ensure he has not been drugged. He returned the blood to his office and ran the tests; it returned with poisons in his body. He had been drugged for many years and thought it was by his wife, Meira. When he did further testing, it was not found on their land.

Clara contacted Kelley to let her know what the doctor had found in her father’s blood work and wanted her to look for the items on the rogue compound or somewhere in the vicinity if she could. She agreed to do this task, anything to take Libby and Felix down, which is daunting. But it has to be done, and it takes a team willing to gather all the intel they can about these two.

Issy will get back to Clara with the information, including pictures, but she is still determining how she would get the items to them if she found them. She would have to figure it out later, but now she had some digging to do.

Xavior and Dunken got the information they needed when she was speaking with her father in the office. They contacted the doctor, asking what he found to confirm what poisons were in the King’s system. Dunken knew of the poisons so did Xavior. They also know where to find the plants.

Clara tells Xavior that she is heading back towards them and to meet in her room. He and Dunken enter her room and review what they got on video and recordings. Xavior told Clara that he had seen the plants used on her father to poison his system. It is closer to Felix’s pack, as he remembers seeing it when he was younger and had to visit other shifter packs for conferences. Dunken told Kelly where it was and sent her pictures of what she was looking for. It’s just a matter of time before she or Max can hunt for them for the proof they need.

“Okay, I have skipped training today and do not wish not to ignore it tomorrow, so after dinner, I will turn in and shower.”

After dinner, she, Xavior, and Dunken head to the gym to train and do weights. Xavior wanted her to do some training to keep her muscles in formation. She was thankful for that, and after they were finished, Xavior and Clara returned to their wing to shower and get ready for bed.

She walks into the shower, turns it on, gets it warmed, strips it down, and steps in. Xavior walks in behind her to help her with the shower. That did not last long when he scrubbed her back and kissed her neck, down her shoulder and back. He worked his way down to her nether and back up the front of her lips. She leaned against him, kissing him back and making her way down to his shaft, keeping herself planted there for a little bit, then kissing him back up to his lips.

He grabbed her, picked her up, swinging her legs over his shoulders while he devoured her wet pussy. He sucked and nibbled on her clit, making her moan out his name. He licked her juicy folds, then inserted his tongue inside her hole. He moved his tongue in and out slowly and then quickly until he was satisfied. He inserted two fingers, pumping them in and out and hooking them to her Gspot, giving her an orgasm.

He sat her back down, turned her around to face the wall, and pulled her hips toward his hard cock. He pushed the tip inside her until he could no longer see his cock. Xavior pumped in and out while positioning her, hitting all her nerves. He went faster and harder until they both came undone. He kissed her back, then pulled her into his chest while he removed himself.

He grabbed a sponge, cleaned her up, and washed her hair. She turned and washed him from head to toe too. When finished, they exited the shower, grabbed a towel, and dried off. Heading to the bedroom, they collapsed on the bed and slept.
