“Would you prefer I bring the food or we go get it ourselves?” Dawn asked and I shrugged my shoulders.

I saw the vehicles that had trooped into the castle earlier as we made our way from the clinic. Talon had mentioned that he was expecting some guests and he wanted me to stay away from them.

I didn’t want to do something that would put me in a difficult position. But as I looked at Dawn’s face, I could tell she wanted to leave the room.

“Umm… I don’t know Dawn. Do you think it will be right for me to move around with the guests in the castle?” I asked in a timid voice.

Dawn pouted her lips and glared at me. “Do you always have to remind me to be a good girl?” She groaned as she stumped her feet on the carpeted floor of the room.

I smiled at her antics and offered her an apologetic smile.

“Fine. You win this round but after the meal, we will head out to the garden. It is only for royals and you and I, of course. I am certain the guests won’t be there so you will have no reason to back down!” She said in a feigned stern voice.

I shook my head and laughed. Dawn was so cute when she was being stubborn.

She moved out of the room to get us food and I let my head rest on the bed for a few minutes. Today had been really hectic, with the story about the medication and all the drama that happened. I hoped this was the first and the last time, I was going to be put on the spot like that.

I liked my life as simple and easy. So many problems were always beyond me.

Dawn returned a few minutes later with a large tray of food and placed it on the bed with a big smile on her face.

“I heard, there is going to be a feast tonight to welcome the King’s guests. But since you aren’t invited, I brought these beauties!” Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she pulled the tray open and flashed the food before my eyes.

There was more than enough food to feed at least ten people in my town with enough leftovers.

“Dawn!” I gasped as I saw the amount of food she had packed.

“What?! I will eat too… I brought an extra plate of chocolate pudding! See!” She said, trying to change the topic and she succeeded as my eyes fell on my newfound favorite, my mouth watered and all I wanted to do was fill up my growing stomach.

We ate to our fill and fell on the bed like two buffalos at the river bank after a long day of grazing.

“Dawn, I am pregnant, so it is understandable why I eat so much…” I started and I turned to face her. “What about you? Why do you eat so much and where does all the food go?”

I poked her flat stomach and she giggled as she turned away from me.

“I am a werewolf Avalyn and a soldier at that, I am supposed to eat. And yes, the food goes to my muscles…” She explained with amusement dwindling in her eyes.

“What muscles?” I asked, laughing at her already.

“Enough now! Come on, let’s go to the garden and get some fresh air,” she said, suddenly jumping out of the bed.

“Dawn… I still want to-” she didn’t even let me finish as she pulled my hand.

“You need fresh air for the baby to be strong and smart. Come on! No excuses! Let’s go,” she ordered with laughter lacing her voice.

I smiled too as she pulled me out of the room and I sluggishly followed her.

We walked out of the castle without problem but I kept checking behind, afraid we might run into the guests Talon had warned us about.

“Avalyn, relax, why do you act like these guests are some kind of monsters that will eat you up? Worst case scenario, we see them, we walk away!” She said as she hooked her hand across mine.

Sincerely, at the back of my mind, I had classified the guests as terrible monsters with hideous faces that could kill me once they set their eyes upon me.

Or maybe, I was going to turn to dust the moment I set my eyes on them.

Dawn’s words helped me ease up a little as we sat opposite the fountain enjoying the natural air around us, I couldn’t help but smile at my own foolishly.

I closed my eyes and let my body relax in the beautiful environment. “Thank you, Dawn,” I whispered and she poked me on the nose.

“Don’t mention, I am doing this for my godson,” she said proudly wiggling her shoulders and I burst into laughter.

Dawn really knew how to put me at ease.

My smile suddenly faded as I felt Dawn grow tense beside me. My eyes flew open and I looked at her face. She was glaring at something in the distance.

My eyes followed her line of sight and I realized she was staring at someone and not something.

She got up and I did the same, making sure I remained behind her defensive stance at all times.

The stranger had spikey hair that stood on his head and a permanent smirk that refused to shake as he moved closer to us.

“Hello beautiful ladies-” he started to say but Dawn cut him off immediately.

“Who are you and what are you doing here? This is a private place for royals only!” She snarled at him.

His smirk grew wider and he corked his head to the side to observe us closely. When his eyes landed on me, they sparkled.

“Well, soldier, you may stand down because I was just about to explain-”

“We’ll get on with it and don’t get comfortable!” Dawn retorted without giving the guy a break.

He moved to the side slowly, trying to get a better view of my fave but Dawn followed his movements making sure I remained behind her at all times.

“I am Montgomery. Next alpha of the South pack,” he said with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

Dawn looked at him from head to toe and her defensive stance became even more pronounced. “You are Alpha Trevor’s son?” She asked and he gave a dramatic bow.

“The one and only. And please, call me Monty.”

Dawn’s shoulders relaxed a bit but she still stood in front of me. “You shouldn’t be here…” She hissed.

He raised his head and winked at me before replying to Dawn. “Don’t worry, soldier. I have the permission of your Alpha. He said we could use any amenities we wished for and I decided to take a walk in his previous garden and look, I walked into a very rare flower.” As he spoke, his eyes never left mine for even a second and I felt my heart flip at the intensity in his eyes.

Dawn placed her hand on his chest and slightly pushed him backward. “She is off-limit, Monty!” She growled, emphasizing his name.

But Monty easily pushed her hand away from him and the brisk movement made Dawn lose her footing. She didn’t fall but she moved enough to let Monty have a full view of me.

“Woah, you are truly a beautiful flower… What’s your name,” He said as he offered me his hand.

My heart jumped to my throat as I stared between his hand and his face. What was I supposed to do?

Dawn regained her stance and shoved him away. “I already told you, she is off-limits. Stay back!”

“Common soldier, we both know that the Beta’s blood is barely in your vein. A fight between us will definitely badly. I am an alpha remember…” he whispered and I felt the hair at the back of my neck stand.

I couldn’t let them fight. What if he hurt Dawn?

“I am Avalyn!” I rushed, as I came between them. “There is no need for you both to fight, please,” I said, looking between the two of them.

If eyes could kill, Monty would have dropped dead with the glare Dawn was throwing at him.

Monty on the other hand was completely oblivious to the stare Dawn was giving him as he had all of his attention on me.

I suddenly felt naked as his eyes moved over me.

“Your name is as beautiful as your body, Avalyn,” he whispered stepping closer to me.

He was about to open his mouth and speak when a deep growl filled the garden, making us all turn automatically to the entrance.

“Avalyn!”

I almost peed my pants as I not only recognized the voice, our eyes met -Talon.

Dawn regained herself first and she pulled my hands and led us toward him.

He wasn’t standing alone. He was with the Queen and a man I didn’t recognize.

“Hello, my King. My queen,” Dawn said and then turned to the man beside them, “Alpha Trevor,” She whispered and she made to pull me away but I felt another hand pull me back.

“Not so fast, Avalyn,” Monty said beside me and I felt like the ground should open and swallow me with the glare that Talon sent me.

Monty pulled me out of Dawn’s hold and brought me closer to Talon and Alpha Trevor -who apparently was his father.

“Father, I think I can finally settle down for good this time, look at the beautiful flower I found in King Talon’s garden…” His smirk sat proudly on his lips as he spoke and I almost cried inside when I saw Talon’s hands fold into fists.

Alpha Trevor nodded his head and a bright smile sat on his face as he turned to Talon but before he could speak, Taking growled first.

“Avalyn isn’t a flower and she is not an option for you to settle down with!”

The air suddenly began to compress and I swear I thought I was going to die in that instant as Willow’s bright blue eyes also glared down at me at this point.
