“Tell me about yourself.”
“Well, my names Josh. I’ve work here for 15 years. I have a mate, and 3 kids.”
“Really? What are their names?”
“Jake and Brody are twins, 10. And Lucy is 8.”
“That’s awesome. I love that age, they are so fun. I suppose you are busy though,”
“Yes, but it’s worth it. I love them.”
I smile. “I can’t wait to have kids of my own!”
“You want kids?”
“Yes, someone has to make the heir!” I joke, he chuckles.
“How many do you want?” he asks.
“Not sure, but at least 3.” I say.
“I can see a bunch of mini versions of you and the King, running around.” He says.
“Me too,” I decide. Once I am down making the food, I set a plate in front of him and sit down next to him.
We dig in, and after a few minutes I turn to him.
“So what do you think?” I ask.
“This is amazing!” He says, and puts more food in his mouth.
“Thank you,” I say. There’s a few maids that come into the room, laughing. But when they see me, they stop.
“Sorry ma’ma.”
“Please, you don’t have to stop laughing when I’m around. I want you guys to act like I’m just another person. Okay?”
“Okay, ma’ma.”
“Oh, and don’t call me ma’ma. Just call me Alyssa.”
“Okay, Ma- I mean Alyssa,” The maids say. I smile at them.
“So what are your names?” I ask.
“I’m Lorie, and this is my daughter Kayla.” She says and points to the girl around my age, behind her.
“Nice to meet both of you.”
I say. I start reaching for my empty plate.
“Oh, let me get that!” Lorie says. I hold out my hand.
“No, need. I am capable of putting my dishes in the dish washer. You forget that before I was the queen, I was a normal girl.” I say with a smile. It takes a minute, but they smile too.
I clean up my mess. “Kayla, can I have your help for a minute?” I ask. It can get pretty lonely here in this big house, might as well make as many friends as I can.
She shyly nods her head. I have her follow me.
We go to the library.
I have her sit down. “So, Kayla tell me about yourself!”
“Um, I’m afraid that there isn’t much to tell.”
“Well, I want to know everything. How about we start with age.”
“Okay, I’m 17.”
“Cool, any boyfriends? Mates? One night stands?” I say the last one with a smirk. She giggles.
“No!” She says, and starts blushing.
“So, any crushes??”
“No, not really. My families poor, we go to work and home again. We don’t have much time for socializing. Goddess, I can’t remember the last time I went shopping! Let alone, could afford new clothes.” She pauses and realizes her sudden outburst. Her cheeks grow red, and she begins to apologize.
I hold out a hand to her, “There’s no need to apologize… What size are you?”
“Um, 8.”
“Really? Me TOO! Listen, I have some extra clothes that I don’t wear. You can browse them if you are interested.” I offer to her.
“No, I couldn’t do that!”
“It’s fine, I don’t wear them! You’d actually be helping me out.”
“No, please. I don’t want them.”
“Fine, but they are there if you need them.” I tell her.
“Okay,” she says.
“I won’t keep you any longer. Just wanted to talk. I guess I will see you later, and we should hang out.”
“Yeah, I would like that.” She says, with a smile. She leaves the room, and I sit back down, reading my book.
Later, I walk back into my bedroom, to see Lorie in my closet.
“Miss Lorie, may I ask why you are in my closet? Or in our personal quarters without permission.”
“I’m sorry, I was told to pack a bag for you.”
“What? Who told you that?” I ask.
She chuckles. “Your mate.”
“Oh, um. Carry on I guess, I’ll be right back.” I say and start for George’s office.
I get to George’s office and he is doing some paperwork at his desk.
“Hey,” I say as i come into the room.
He looks up and smiles. “Hey,”
“So, why are the maids packing our stuff up?”
He smiles. “I thought about what you said about going to your brother’s house, and I think we should go.” He says and I start squealing. “But we have to bring a few guards.”
“Alright, I can handle that.” I say with a huge smiles.
He gets up and I jump into his arms.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
He laughs. “No problem. Now, I have some work to finish before our trip…”
“Yeah, okay. I’ll see you later,” I say. “I’ll just go call my brother.”
“Okay, bye sweetheart.” He says as I leave. I walk back to my room, and watch Lorie as I call my brother.
“Alpha Reagan,” He says when he accepts my call.
“Nick!”
“Oh, hey Alyssa.”
“What’s up?”
“Nothing much, just finishing some paper work.” Nick responds.
“Fun. Anyway, I was calling to tell you that, George and I would love to come this weekend.”
“That’s great. We were hoping to have you over again, before you get too busy.”
“Yeah, that’s probably a good idea.” I say with a laugh. “It’s still unreal that I’m the queen.”
“I knew that you were going to do great things.”
“Thanks, it’s means a lot.”
“Yeah, that’s what I’m here for. Anyway, I have to go. See you soon!”
“Bye,” I say as I hang up.
At that time, Lori comes back into the room.
“Miss Alyssa, what do you think about this dress for you trip.” She asks. I turn and look at it. “Perfect.”
She goes back to packing my bag in the closet.
When she is done, she comes out.
“Is there anything else I can get you?” She asks.
I pause and think for a moment. “I don’t think so. But there is something that you could do for me.”
“And what is that?” she asks.
“You and Kayla can take the night off. George and I no longer need your service today.”
“Are you sure? We could always stay.”
“Yep, I’m sure.” I say and she smiles.
“Thank you!” Lori says practically jumping, she’s so excited.
“Yep, have a goodnight.”
“Same to you, miss Alyssa.” She says as she leaves the room. I look over at the clock, and see that it is only 8pm, but I’m so tired. I decide to just go to bed early. I have a long day tomorrow.
The next morning, I get up and actually find George in the room. He’s sitting by the fire, drinking coffee. I get up and wrap my arms around him, from behind the chair.
“Hey,” I say.
He kisses my arm. “Hey, babe.”
“How did you sleep?”
“Like a baby.”
“What time did you come to bed?”
“Um, I think around 1,” He replies.
I pull back, and sit in the chair across from him. “Axe, baby. That’s not healthy. You, out of all people need your sleep.”
He grumbles. “I know, I just had a lot of work to do.”
“You don’t have to do all of it! Give some to your beta.”
“That kid gets on my nervous sometimes.”
“And you get on mine, but I’m still here. And getting a full nights rest.” I point out.
He grumbles something.
I just smirk. “Come on babe, we leave in a few hours to go to Nick’s house. Have you even packed?”
“I haven’t had time, and the maids are busy.”
“Okay, I will pack your bag, and you go finish your work.”
“Okay,” He says. He gets up gives me a kiss, and heads out. I sigh. If I don’t get him to relax, it’s going to be a long weekend!
