Chrystal POV
Everything is perfect, I couldn’t have asked for better. As I lay in bed watching Julian and Zanian sleeping I wish I could freeze time and on the other hand I don’t want to because who wants to live the exact same day over and over again.
I have invitations to send out and a wedding to plan. I thought as I flipped the covers off me causing Zanian and Julian to groan in disapproval.
“just one day.” Zanian complained pulling the covers closer.
“no, we have work to do.” I said causing Julian to snap his eyes open and pull me beneath him and pinned me down. “you are up early every day, just one day for rest please.” Julian asked in a pleading voice.
“I’m a mom, and Queen and now I’m going to be a wife in a few days.” I said tracing Julian’s jaw with my fingers.
He leaned down and kissed me knocking the wind out of me with his slow passionate kissing so early in the morning.
Our bedroom door burst open and two pairs of small feet ran towards the bed. ‘okay well not so small anymore.’
Hazel and Isabella got up onto the bed and started jumping causing Zanian to groan and tackle them both. Julian got off me allowing me to escape.
“mommy where are you going?” Isabella asked with a pout.
“to get your brothers.” I said and left the room. Hayden and Aiden has been a dream, no crying no screaming just the occasional fuss about now wanting milk.
I have no idea what to make of the boys because they are growing rapidly fast so Julian explained to me some of the things about being a vampire and one of them is the rapid growing. By the time they are five in human years they will be teenagers in Vampire years and I am so not looking forward to having them grow up so fast.
They are only a few days old and already they have teeth so by the time they are one they will be toddlers.
I opened the door to their room and found both of them awake smiling. Julian said their fangs will pull into their gums when they are a bit older and have more control so for now it’s permanently on display which I think is the cutest thing in the world.
I walked closer to the crib and handed each one a bottle of milk seeing that they haven’t actually had milk in two days.
As far as we know they have two stomachs and both stomachs needs to be fed regularly.
I gave Hayden his bottle but he spit it out and I just glared at him.
Aiden did the same, and I swear I didn’t mean to but I growled at them causing both of them to look at me with wide eyes.
I handed them the bottles again and this time they took it without a fuss. I watched as they drank every drop before spitting the bottles out and I handed them the small blood bottle. I stood watching in amazement as their eyes change and I can honestly stand here the whole day just looking at them.
Julian came in just as they let go of the bottles and their eyes change back to their normal mesmerising blue.
“I heard you growl.” Julian said standing next to me looking down at the boys.
“yes because they refuse to drink the milk and I didn’t mean to it just happened.” I said shrugging my shoulder causing Julian to let out a soft chuckle.
I left the boys with Julian and went to take a shower and get dressed in casual clothes. I walked down to the kitchen where Maggie handed me a plate filled with bacon and cheese toast just as I asked.
I took my breakfast up to Zanian’s office and started working on the invitations. All the packs are invited as well as every member in their pack that allows the unmated wolves to look for their mates.
I sent out the invitations and the date is set everyone would be arriving today or tomorrow we have vampires that volunteered to guard the packs for every wolf will be attending the wedding.
When that was done I sat and enjoys my breakfast even though it got cold, but it doesn’t matter.
I loved what Nelly did for the engagement party so I asked her to help with my wedding as well and I swear she almost jumped out of her skin from excitement.
Zanian POV
Being king I always knew would be hard work, but keeping everyone happy is even harder. I haven’t told Chrystal or Julian this, but we had some friction between two wolves and a vampire just over a week ago and that is where I am currently to see if we can resolve the problem without having to involve Chrystal.
“so you laid claim on a girl that wasn’t yours to claim and now that she found her mate you refuse to release her?” I asked Jody who is looking everywhere but at me.
“it’s not like that, she claimed me and I told her she has a mate and she has to go, but yet here she is refusing.” Jody said looking at the girl.Many sentences in this chapter have been removed because you are not reading them on J o b n I b . c (o) m . I diverted my attention to her and saw she is only looking at her lap not making eye contact with anyone.
“may I ask why you don’t want your mate?” I asked waiting for her answer.
When she looked at me she had tears in her eyes. I waited for her to speak but she didn’t instead she just looked down. I looked at the men and dismissed them.
When they left the door closed and I moved closer to the girl.
“what is wrong?” I asked and for the first time she made eye contact. “I’m scared.” She said as a tear rolled down her cheek.
“scared of what?” I asked.
“my mate is known for his short temper and I’m afraid of him.” the girl said looking at me with fear evident in her eyes.
“okay how about I speak to him?” I asked not wanting to do anything she won’t be comfortable with.
She nodded her head and I linked Gavin to come back. I spoke to them and we resolved the problem as for the vampire I have no idea what his deal was in all of this, but the two mates are happy now and I have a mate to attend to before she comes looking for me.
Julian’s babies are the most fascinating babies I have ever seen and that is apart from the babies Zara keeps brining. Chrystal has kept to her word and I honestly don’t know how she does it because she is juggling everything at once. Four kids, being Queen, looking after orphans, and then there is us which she hasn’t forgot about once or neglected.
When I walked into the house Nelly was on the phone yelling at someone and Maggie was standing by the stairs talking to Hazel who is hanging onto every word she is saying by the looks of it, but when she saw me she jumped into my arms.
“where have you been?” she asked having the same look Chrystal has when she is waiting for an answer.
“I took a walk baby. Why what’s wrong?” I asked and she just shook her head.
Hazel isn’t much of a talker Isabella on the other hand can talk non-stop and sometimes it drives me crazy to the core because all she talks about is fashion and being proper. She even corrects me when I’m not proper enough.
“good you are here, we have guest arriving today and some tomorrow.” Chrystal said walking down the stairs with the boys in her arms.
‘is it just me or do they look double the size than they were yesterday?’ I thought as I took a closer look at them.
“I’m sorry guests?” I said just realising what Chrystal said.
“yes, for the wedding on Saturday.”
“okay but it’s only Wednesday today.” I said c*****g my head to the side.
“yes and the packs far out is coming today so that they can rest as well as Tyler’s pack. they are coming today in total that is seven packs and then the rest will be here tomorrow and everyone will rest Friday and the wedding is Saturday.” I glared at Chrystal for the way she is speaking it’s like she is explain things to a ten year old and not a grown man.
“okay then where do you want them?” I asked which caused Chrystal to look at me.
“everything is already sorted. And where were you because you disappeared for almost four hours.” Chrystal said looking at me through narrowed eyes.
“I took a walk.” I said looking at Hazel who is looking at me with a ‘did you really’ look on her face.
Later in the evening after we showered and got dressed the first packs started arriving. I walked downstairs to welcome them with Hazel and Isabella following behind me. Hazel refused to leave me alone and Isabella just wants to greet everyone.
Maggie and Martha cooked up a storm yet again leaving no room for error or disappointment.
I stood by the door as the packs walked in greeting the Alpha’s respectfully as they did the same.
Ever since Chrystal made it clear that respect will be shown it’s like everyone is more afraid of her that me. which I understand because even I’m afraid of her.
“thank you for welcoming us into your home and congratulations.” Alpha Jace said as he handed me a wrapped gift. Chrystal said they don’t have to bring anything but I guess some just really can’t show up empty handed.
Chrystal came down and my breath hitched as I took in the golden gown glimmering under the lights with her hair done up neatly and her make-up done to perfection. I will never get used to how beautiful and graceful she looks when she is full on Queen.
When she reached me she kissed my cheek and smiled warmly. I handed her the gift Jace game me and told her who it is from.
Tyler was the last pack to arrive and when he did everyone stopped and stared. He got out of the car and walked over to Chrystal taking her hand and leading her to the car. He opened the trunk and said, “I missed the birth of the newest babies so this is to make up for that and to say congratulations.”
Chrystal looked up at me with a sparkle in her eyes and motioned for me to come over.
Okay maybe it wasn’t such a good idea because now I cannot stop staring and thinking how in the world did he fit this thing in the car.
I mean it’s bigger than the car.
Chrystal and Tyler started pulling and right in front of my eyes is a giant teddy bear. And I mean giant. It’s like three times my size and it’s every colour you can think of.
“I had it specially made for you.” Tyler said causing Chrystal’s smile to widen.
“thank you T.” Chrystal said hugging the teddy bear’s arm.
The dinner was quiet and no one said much everyone kept talking about the teddy bear and even some Luna’s asked for one causing the Alpha’s to groan.
Chrystal and Julian each sat with a baby on their lap and I have Hazel and Isabella on mine as we all enjoy our dinner.
