Chapter 29~ That’s my girl
Blake’s POV~
Dinner was a festive affair…all the alphas vying for an audience with the king.. no matter how brief! As the snow started to really blow in, I locked Alexis in my arms, and brought her to the ceiling high windows to watch it.. she was vibrating with excitement, but managed to stay put! She whispered “It’s so beautiful! It’s like the flakes are dancing with each other. This is going to always be my favorite time of year. I found my family.. my heart.. my home!”
I lift her into my arms and take her to our bed. I slowly undress her… kissing every inch of skin, as I expose it. She smells amazing. She tastes incredible. I will never get enough of the sounds she makes! As I enter her, her walls clench around me and I grind my teeth to prevent spitting my load like a thirteen year old having his first wet dream! Goodddessss! As she drops off the edge for the fourth time, she pulls me with her and we are free falling! This! This is why I am here.. on this planet!
We lay in the dark.. listening to the wind howl.. the only light is the glow from the fireplace and her eyes watching it. I snuggle behind her, pulling her into me in a perfect spoon. She whispers “If you love me, half as much as I love you.. I am the luckiest woman alive” and I smile into her hair… “I love You… More!” And we fall asleep… content in the security of each other’s arms!
I open my eyes and stretch.. reaching for my love…to come up empty. I sit and look around and see her slowly walking to the bathroom.. and I try not to chuckle.. try not to feel a little proud.. but yep.. not working! I jump up.. scooping her into my arms and get us a nice warm shower going. I wash her hair.. massage her whole body with her lavender vanilla soap.. and I whisper “Sorry….not sorry.. But I will happily carry you all day!” She smacks me! She smacked me in the chest! Smiling “Let’s just paint a sign on my forehead “Pounded into Oblivion” it wouldn’t be any more obvious!” And I busted out laughing! Although, I wasn’t completely against that idea!
Walking into the conference room, everyone was seated and had grabbed food from the buffet. Alexis walked over to Loren “Morning Daddy” kissing his cheek. Then she kissed Helena.. Max telling them good morning, as well. Then, she kissed Charles and said “Morning Uncle Charliie” and the poor man choked on air while Loren laughed so hard he started coughing. He says “I think you broke him” but my girl… just keeps on smiling while she climbs into my lap, and lets me feed her.
After we all settled down.. Damon pulls up the screen..” These are the security cameras around the kingdom. As you can see.. all the royal family have guards on their doors, they have not been seen walking the palace grounds for the past 48 hours. The only ones allowed free rein is the Dowager Juliet and of course Jeremiah. The guards quarters show only 20 elites royal guards. And the warriors barracks are holding roughly a thousand men. But they are only seen training two hour every third day.
These cameras show, what I believe to be servants quarters? I can’t be sure. But, Jeremiah does visit them on a nightly basis. This room… the camera is stationary. Never moving.. we believe there are two witches housed there. We aren’t entirely sure”
Clearing my throat.. I thanked Damon and turned to Loren “ I am guessing he has locked your family up again. What can you help us with strategically? We have no intention of attacking him at the kingdom. I refuse to give the pretender the home field advantage! He is going to have to bring it to us!”
Loren laughs.. “Pulling him from his comfort zone will make him careless. And yes, my precious Alexis, he is your brother..by blood.. but he has ever always been Juliet’s son. Never mine. I believe, at best, his team of warriors are only about 15 percent battle experienced. Jeremiah has always relied on corrupt Alphas and rogues to fight his battles. His mother.. is much like my mother. Devious.. manipulative… deceitful. The irony… my mother is my father’s fated mate! He is a weak man. Easily misled and deceived. My siblings.. are my mother’s minions. They believe their captivity is a farce.. to keep me in line. There are three witches. Not two. One is evil to the core.. Virginia.. Jerry calls her Ginger. The other two are quiet.. unassuming. They aren’t very powerful. I can’t recall their names! His royal guard are jokes. For a case of whiskey, they’d turn their backs while you slit the king’s throat. Like I said… they are not battle veterans. And Jerry relies on others to do what he refers to as his light work. I don’t believe he’s discovered Charles and I gone yet.. that should give you an idea how lax his warriors are. They are supposed to patrol by my cabin every day.. and we’ve been gone a week!”
Helena stands “Alexis.. I need your help! That ‘Ginger’ is my cousin.. my only aunt’s only daughter! She is the one who betrayed Olivia to the coven for her hybrid pregnancy. She was given the ultimatum of killing the baby or leaving the coven. We know what she chose”
Alexis asks “You don’t have to ask, Aunt Helena! What you need.. I’m your girl! So talk to me!” Helena smiles “I love you! I have to go to the coven. To see my aunt.. find out about the two that are with Ginger. And to tell my mother I am more like my sister than she could have guessed!” Alexis looked at Helena a hard minute “ We go. But you are not alone with one of them! None of them! Not even your mother! If I even think They are even Thinking of causing you or my baby cousin harm.. in any way… I will destroy that entire coven! I mean it, Aunt Helena! I will turn them all to stone! Fucking bitches!”
Charles leans over and says to Loren “That’s definitely your daughter! Bitch is scary as fuck! Well.. except she disappears for no reason… that.. that’s funny!” And everyone laughed while Loren proudly says “Yes! That’s my girl!”
