CHAPTER 009
Somehow we all managed to get some sleep that night but it wasn’t really a peaceful sleep for
- me.
I was tossing and turning all night and when I woke up the following morning, the guys were awake. Waiting for me to wake up.
“What?” I asked when I saw them all staring at me.
“We were going to ask you the same thing. You were dreaming.” Koda said.
“It was just a dream.”
“Your dreams are never just dreams.” Dean said.
“I’m sure this one was.” I said, sitting up and sliding off the bed.
I went to the bathroom to have a shower and I got dressed for the day. And unlike what
everyone expects, I never wear anything that is too fancy or anything like that.
I still wear the same sort of casual clothes that I wore before I became Queen. And when I
came out of the bathroom, I went to the office while the guys were showering and getting ready for the day.
I picked up the phone and I called an Alpha from the states.
“Hello.” He answered.
“Alpha John. It’s Queen Nova.” I said.
“Oh, your majesty. This is a surprise.” He said, sounding very surprised that I was calling.
“Well, I needed to get a little information about one of your old pack members. I have his file here and he’s just moved to one of the villages near my home. But even given his age, there isn’t a whole lot in there.” I explained.
“Alright. Who do you want to know about?” He asked.
“Lucas Davidson.” I said.
“Lucas. Yeah, that’s a pretty tragic story. His parents were both killed in a rogue attack.” He
said.
“Why isn’t that in his file? That’s something that you are required to report on.” I said.
“My Beta does the paperwork. I don’t know why that’s not in his file. I’m sorry about that. I will definitely make sure that it never happens again.”

“Listen, I don’t really care about what’s in his file. I want to know what isn’t in his file. It’s pretty thin for a werewolf that comes from a pack. I mean, I know he’s still in high school, but that’s
no excuse.” I said.
“Are you sure you have the right file?” He asked, confused.
“I’m looking at it right now.” I said.
“Can you email me the file that you have on him?” He asked.
So I got into my email and I sent it off to Alpha John immediately. And he sat there silently on the phone for a long time.
“What’s the problem?” I asked.
“The name and basic details are right. But his birthday has been changed. And there is a lot of information missing. My file is a lot different on him.” Alpha John said.
“Send me everything that you have please. And what do you mean his birthday is different?” |
asked.
“Well, he’s not 17. He’s 22.” Alpha John said.
“Send me everything you’ve got. Right now.” I said.
“Absolutely.” He said. And I hung up the phone.
I knew that the guys had a right to know, but they wouldn’t think logically about this. They would just go and hunt him down. This guy is messing with their daughter, so they weren’t going to wait to find out any more information about him.
I had to find out who the hell this guy was before they did and then we would deal with it
together.
I got the file in an email almost straight away and I read through the whole thing.
This file did include his parents dying in a rogue attack, but that happened years ago.
He is 22 years old but he’s pretending to be 17. Why the hell would he want to go back to high
school?
Everyone can’t leave high school and yet he’s gone back and fooled everyone into believing
that he belongs there.
When I heard the others coming down for breakfast, I closed the computer and I met everyone
in the dining room.
We were chatting with Emma for a while and she seemed pretty happy at the moment. I know

that it had something to do with Lucas.
After Emma left for school and the guys went to do training with the warriors I was in the
office when Lexie walked in.
I got her to close the door and I told her to promise that whatever she heard in that room, was
going to stay between us.
Of course she agreed. So I told her everything I found out about Lucas. And how I was getting really worried about Emma.
She won’t bring him to the castle so I can’t read his mind and if I start snooping around school and town then people are going to know that something is going on.
It won’t be kept a secret for long. And I wasn’t sure how to handle it from here.
“Well, no one said that it was going to be easy.” Lexie said.
“Emma has always been an easy kid. And she still is. It’s this other cretin that’s hanging
around her that I don’t trust.” I said.
“Do you want me to accidentally run into them in town this afternoon?” Lexie asked.
“Would you?” I asked.
“She’s my goddaughter. I will do anything for that girl. You know that.” Lexie said.
“Thank you.” I said.
“Don’t even mention it.” She said.
I stood up and I walked over to the window and I looked down the hill where the guys were training with the warriors and they were really getting into it…
They were actually trainees. Wolves that wanted to be warriors and they were currently going through training to see if they can handle being a Queen guard.
It was a really hard process, and the guys made it even harder.
They insisted on having only the best of the best to protect me and Emma. And I didn’t blame
them for that.
I didn’t usually like to watch because they can go a little overboard sometimes with the training. But I know that it’s for my own good that they take over picking the warriors.
They knew what they were doing and I trusted them with every fiber of my being.
But then I looked further off into the distance and I saw the school in the next village.
I stared at it for a while when Lexie stood next to me and put her arm around my waist.

“She’s safe while she’s at school. You know that. And I’ll keep an eye on her when she’s not in
school.” Lexie said.
“I know you will. Emma’s lucky to have you.” I said.
“Are you kidding? She’s lucky to have you. I’m just the quirky sidekick.” She said and I
