Anaiahâs POV The following morning, I woke up when the sunshine hit my face. I got out of bed and go to the bathroom, cleaning my body before I go downstairs. I first go to Ajaxâs room but he wasnât there. I follow his scent to the garden and Iâm affronted by what I see, Melody is shouting at the boy. I rush to them, anger rising in me.
âWhat did he do!â I shout, pushing her away from Ajax. I get on his knee to inspect him. She was gripping his arm so tightly.
âHe threw a water balloon with paint on my designer dress! Heâs so stupid,â She yells, I notice her dress is indeed wet and I glance at little Ajax.
âIâm sorry, I didnât see her,â he does look sorry. I caress his cheek softly.
âItâs alright, love,â I face Melody who is still cussing and grimacing.
âIt was an honest mistake, you donât have to insult the child,â I hiss.
âGoddess! Youâre so annoying I honestly donât know why he chose you!â
Melody turns to walk away from me but I grab her by the hair and push her to the ground. She hisses in pain and tries to lunge at me but my eyes flash, my wolf silently commanding her to stay down. She submits to me, inclining her neck as her cheek faces the ground. Melody is shaking and I wonder what Chalo did to make her react the way she did.
âYou have been nothing but rude to everyone since your arrival and I didnât put you in your place sooner. Listen, Melody or whatever you call yourself, youâre in my presence, your Queen and Iâm the host, henceforth be cautious with your action or Iâll be forced to deal with you harshly,â I tell her.
She is nodding vigorously.
âAnd for the days you are here, donât dare go near this child again or so help me,â with those words, I grab Ajaxâs hand and the woman on the ground only do I notice a few people who were watching, Blanco was one of them but I was too angry to talk to him.
âShe was shaking in fear, your eyes were glowing yellow,â Says Ajax, amused.
I take a calming breath to soothe myself. I direct Ajax to the kitchen and place him on the island before walking to the stove.
âIt only means that my wolf is close,â I inform him as I get some eggs and sausage to make breakfast for him.
âI know,â
âCan you feel your inner Lycan yet?â I ask. He nods.
âWe speak and he told me that Iâll shift once Iâm thirteen,â he tells me.
âWhatâs his name?â
âJax,â
We continue to discuss as I make him french toast and sausages. I give him his plate and juice.
âThank you!â He says with a toothy grin. I make myself a cup of coffee and slowly sip on it as I watch him eat. I was told by his governess that he likes it here, itâs a breath of fresh air for him and his nightmares stopped. However, he needs to see a therapist.
âAjax, do you talk to your dad?â I ask. He pushes his plate away with a sigh and I put them in the dishwasher.
âHe called me this morning. He is in Seoul,â
I nod. We go to the Beta suite to see Dan but they were occupied with extracurricular activities so we decide to go to New North Pack to see the babies I teleport us there and Ajax is going crazy with excitement. It gives me pleasure to see him this happy.
âCome!â
âAna! Iâm sorry for not coming last night but Chadwick had a fever,â she says when she sees me. Princess Arya is a hot mess with only sweatpants and messy hair. She is picking up toys and throwing them in a huge laundry basket.
âIâm sorry to hear that, how is he now?â
âIt has gone down, heâs with his father in our suite,â
âAnd the others?â
âThey are in their rooms,â
âAnd this little cutie must be Ajax,â she coos. Smiling at the boy who shyly smiles back.
âDo you want to see the babies?â I ask. He nods and I grab his hand, going first to Ericksonâs room but he is sleeping so Ajax easily got bored. We later go to little Roseâs room, she is awake in her crib, and is active.
âHi, Rose,â I smile and carry her. I play with her for a little while and sit on the white loveseat in the room, Ajax sits next to us, looking at the baby in awe.
âDo you want to touch her?â I ask, âCan I?â
I carefully place the baby in his arms and Rose, jumps in excitement, giving him a toothy grin and hitting his face gently.
âShe likes you, Ajax. Rose isnât one to smile like this,â Arya says, walking into the room. She has freshened and is in a better state.
We watch Ajax and Rose interact, a sense of calm and love filling the room.
âAna, darling, do you want to tell me what happened last night?â She extends her hand and I take it, going into a private section to talk. After telling Arya what happened, she is laughing at how I humiliated Melody.
âShe had the guts to call me annoying and question why my mate chose me!â I huff, just thinking about it makes me so mad.
âHow old is Alpha Blanco and does he have a mate?â I ask, he makes me feel like he wants me.
âHeâs Thirty-two and heâs not the type to have mates, he rejected her four years ago after she gave birth to his heir, Wyatt,â She informs me and I raise my eyebrow, âWhat do you mean heâs not the type to have a mate?â
