Right now she couldn't even think about her hair, if it was messy or clean.Fuck that. She just been through something so traumatically embarrassing. It was already embarrassing that Theo saw her, well technically he saw her back side, and her naked rear not her chest. But still, she had never been peeked at before. The thought of it absurd, on top of that her brothers and father almost saw her too.She could only imagine, she would never talk to them again or show her face again. But speaking of which how did they arrive their in the first place? "Mom..." Bree began as she fiddled with her hands in a circular motion. " Um... um why did you guys all of a sudden come?" She looked back as her mother paused in her action.
Colette creased her nose as she grabbed another piece, while Bree patiently awaited an answer, as she sighed, " We heard your plea, we sense a fear immediate from your being, more like threat and when a threat is near our leader. The pack immediately acts to protect them. Without thought or hesitation." She tenderly explained as she placed a hand on her cheek. " Were you scared?"
Bree swaying her lips side to side, she was definitely shocked by Theo seeing her naked, but more so that he wouldn't look at, and that she had to command him to do so, as she opened her mouth to answer as knock was heard on the door.
" Are you dressed, Bree. I mean can I come in?"her father voiced.
" Yes, there is nothing you haven't seen, Dad." Bree teased as the door slowly opened.
Peeking his head in as he had both eyes shut, opening one eye to see her fully dressed with a childish grin, " Not funny." He retorted his face dropping as he strolled in, seating down opposite to her search her face for something, but she didn't know what. " Are you okay?"
Was she okay? That was the million dollar question. Not knowing she answered truthfully rubbing her arms up and down, " I guess, I mean nothing happened but I still feel...embarrassed about it."
" It's normal for you to feel embarrassed-"
" I mean everyone else doesn't seem to think so. Everyone is so used to the nudity, and seen people do it in public. It just so freaking weird. And I feel abnormal the only one thinking so just because I don't want to be seen naked!" She blurted loudly as her father placed a hand on her shoulder turning and looking into his grey moon eyes, that just had the wave of calmness.
" Bree what's normal for you isn't normal for everyone else. You are you and they are them. So it's okay for you to be embarrassed. Besides, I'm glad nothing happened. Although I swear If he would have laid a single paw on you I would have..." Lucien eyes glowed intensely blue as his inner wolf was begin to show as she reached out for his hand rubbing the back of it. Bree knew how over protective her father was of males. At least males never her, besides her brothers he hated any male coming near he with the intention of anything.Maybe that why she fell for Rhys. The only male she could do anything with. Well... The blue instantly wearing off as his eyes wandered off.
Why was everyone so worked up today?Was this a sign being a queen was a bad idea? No. No. " Dad, it's okay. Nothing happened like you say. And besides you said something about it being a haze. Or whatever." She reminded her father of his own words as his nose flared.
" Yeah that stupid fucking haze." He cursed as she arched her brow questioning what the hell it was and if he could inform her. But he was too busy looking else where as a giggle escaped her mother's lips as she tapped her father's arm.
" My dear, our daughter doesn't seem to know about that." She cheered happily as she covered her mouth like a little child hiding a secret as Bree narrowed her eyes as her father widened his eyes. Not really seeming excited to have this talk as he arched his brow shaking his head at her mother as her mother sighed. For a few moments she observed how their facial expression changed as if they were talk to one another.
She threw her hands up, " Can you guys stop that telepathy and just tell me." She chimed in as they faced her, " Hey we're old enough to talk about sex, mom, dad." She clarified as her father shut his eyes and groaned as he crossed his arms.
" Fine." He gave in opening his eyes looking up at the ceiling, " The haze is basically when a person goes through a sexual frenzy that can be extremely painful if not taken care of..... oh god I can't believe, ugh. It happens to both female and males. The first time can be anytime the person become of age and onward. I swear to the supreme being... it like when females are in heat but different. It's still the same uncontrollable desire so many wolves or even animals in Redloslds try to find a mate while in that cycle. I mean we kinda of sense it last night on Theo, when he touched you we believed he was already claiming you as his mate."
" What!" Bree exclaimed as her parents nodded. Thinking back everyone did gasp when he did that. But did that meant he was claiming his territory. Ugh, no! " That cannot be. I don't even see him like that. What was he thinking? I never-"
Her mother quickly grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her, " Relax, dear we know. It just looked like it. Thankfully, you verbally and physically denied any further advancements. " She informed as she felt the strength of her mother shaking her reverberating in her bones.
" Yes, thankfully. Although now you have to find another male. But don't rush anything. No rush. Take your time and preferable one not in the haze." He finished bring his hands to his center of his chest praying to the almighty being as he looked he would have a stroke from speaking.
Really? That's it. That's the big deal. She was expecting so much more, just she knew how the people in Redloslds different from humans as she stroked her chin, " So there's basically horny." She mindless thought as two hands slapped her shoulder snapping out of it as her eyes met her parents." What?" She said aloud.
"We heard you're thoughts. You also learn have to control that." They said in conjunction as she rubbed her wound.
" And what do you mean also control. What else have I done beside that thing where I say to stop and you guys stopped and then knelled for some strange reason. I felt for the first time I was being heard." She babbled as a genuine smile came cross Lucien's face.
" That was your first command, silly." He confessed proudly as she blinked. First Command? First Command? What the hell was that? She never heard of such a thing, nor her father had told her. Was it like a special power a new leader obtains?
" My first command?" She repeated as he replied with a grin. " What the hell is that?"
" Your first command is the first time a new leader instructs their pack to do something and the force to do it is overbearing that no one can object, disobey, or withstand the jurisdiction." Her father entailed as her mouth formed a big O. She didn't know about the haze and now this. Why didn't she ever know about this things? Bree would definitely have to read up on everything, but she would face Rhys with a stupid question.
" Will that happen every time?"
" Basically."
" This can be fun." She clapped her hands as her father shook his head.
" Don't get any crazy ideas. You're suppose to use your power efficiently and wisely." Lucien said all philosophically as she hitched one corner of her lip. Damn, he just shut down her idea before it began. She could have really used it to make Damon say somethings. " Now that you are queen you must act for the good for all. Especially on your first day, come on let's go." He snapped his fingers as her mother rose her from behind.
" Go? Go, where?" Bree inquired not knowing if she was going to train, see the townspeople, give a speech. What was it? Because from now on she could no longer be free going and do what she wanted. She would have a regular schedule day like a sophisticated adult. As she was being pushed out the door by her mother literally as digged her nails into wood frame of the door holding onto it for dear life as she stressed, " WHERE AM I GOING?"
Her father turning his head over his shoulder, rolling his eyes as he specified wittily, " To perform your first Queen Duties." As she blinked, her Queen Duties. Right, she was queen now.
