Jay's Pov
Growling, as I entered the conference room the directors jumped in fear. Hell, they ricked of it. They all knew they were in some shit, getting a surprise visit from a Royal in person was usually never good. We had people to handle this kind of stuff for us. Taking my seat at the head of the table I tore into those dumb asses.
"What the hell is taking so long with processing these fated, and why the hell was my fated not read as soon as she was terminated. There is no reason it should have been put off for two fucking days! You pigs are growing fat and lazy on my king's dime. You're all fucking useless everyone one of you, none of you can do a damn thing right."
"Your Grace, we had no idea there-"
I had my hands on his throat before he could finish his sentence.
"You had no idea because you are NEVER HERE. NONE OF YOU ARE! That's going to change though. I am leaving a few men behind to ensure this operation runs smoother and quicker, but first an example needs to be set."
Snapping the man's neck and dropping his lifeless body on the floor. I turned to see a room full of horror-struck humans.
"Get the point?"
They all just sat there nodding their heads and one ricked of piss.
"Great, I'm glad we are all on the same page now. Now get back to work. No, days off for anyone until at least half the Royals have their fated."
Running out of the conference, Kyle, linked me saying they caught me fated.
"Meet me in the lobby conference room with her. We need to talk before we leave. She needs to understand a few things."
"Sure, thing boss."
"Also, there is body that needs to be taken care of in conference room I just left."
"We, will have someone take care of it ASAP boss."
******************
Impatiently, waiting for my men to show up I send Diesel to go look for them. What the hell was taking them so long. They should have beat me here.
I was trying to stay in the shadows of the room to so I could get an assessment of her body language, but my worry was making me pace the room. My ears suddenly perk up at the sound of Diesel's voice speaking to my fated. He was telling her "He is the lead man on her guard."
She would need all the protection I could get her with what I was planning. The king is going mad with power. Since he struck his deal with the human government to help cover up abductions of human women. He has been talking about taking control of the human population and turning those who weren't fated into slaves.
I must put a stop to this. It will cost so many lives of wolves and humans. I didn't understand why we couldn't all live together in peace. There was no reason to turn them into slaves.
The door to the room finally opened and my fated just stood there at the entrance. I could smell the fear rolling off her link wind through a field.
"Give her a nudge." I linked Diesel.
Giving her small nudge she finally started to take small steps. Watching her step into the sunlight peeking through the shades. I was able to catch a glimpse of my fated's beauty. She was perfect. Her grey eyes complimented her long curly auburn hair. She maybe stood 5'4 at most. My wolf and I were so proud to be able to call this petite curvy fated ours.
As, I began to approach her she started to walk backwards. Attempting to match every step I took. So, I stopped mid-way of the room. As much as my wolf urged me to grab her, place my mark on her and engulf her with my scent and seed, I had to control it. I wanted to mate her in a more secluded setting.
Grabbing the closets chair to me. I asked her to have a seat. She showed some defiance, which came as no surprise. After, I let her know I wasn't asking she did as I told her.
When, she took a seat in front of me I noticed the scratch on her face. "What happen?" I asked as I rubbed my thumb across her wound. Seeing my fated injured infuriated me. I had to keep calm. I needed answers and for her to be on board with my plan.
A few minutes of going back and forth and empty threats she finally gave up the culprit. I linked one of men to grab the guard so I could deal with him later. Touching a Royal's fated was forbidden. Some of them Royals went as far as putting ink designs on their body's when they weren't going to be around.
I pitched her my plan, and she showed more concern for our safety, then the fact that I just told her she had no choice, but to finish the mating process. It made me feel excited that she was ok with going through with mating process, but also weak that she thought I didn't have the manpower to overthrow the king. My men and many allies had been planning this for a year. My best friend's reign had to end, before he killed the fated of many. In any war there are always casualties, but what he was purposing was catastrophic. Killing the humans meant someone's fated could possibly not be born. We depended on them to continue repopulate. Just like we depended on our species to.
Finishing our conversation, I could tell he still had a million questions in her head. "Are we clear?"
"No."
"What aren't we clear on?"
"I don't understand why you want to take over the throne."
"That's a story for later. Now come on, we need to get our daughter. What is her name?"
"It's Jade. She isn't your-"
"So much of your future depends on you not finishing that sentence!" I snapped, entrapping her in the chair. "Regardless of who fathered her I was meant to be her father. Are we clear?"
"Yyyes." She said with tears filling her eyes.
Standing back up I held my hand for her to take. "Let us go get our daughter."
Feeling like a damn bully, I pulled her into an embrace. I just needed to hold her for a second. Goddess this is not how I imaged starting off with my fated. I didn't want her to think I was another asshole. Convincing her otherwise now was going to rough. Once we get back to home things will be different. She will adjust to her new lifestyle, and I'll do everything I can to make the transition go as easy as possible. Both my girls will be loved.
Holding her hand and dragging her through the door we made our way down the hall and to the car. Linking my men that I was taking my fated to get our daughter and then back to her place. We could all regroup and head out tomorrow.
"Where am I going to love?"
"We can just go back to my place. I live in a neighborhood with older people and the neighbors are always happy to watch her. She sometimes goes to the other neighbors across the street. They take turns watching her. They say it makes them feel younger and they enjoy having a baby back in the house."
"That's great that you have had a village to help you out with her."
"Yeah, they have all been a tremendous help. After, I had her the Mrs. Nash came over every day, and helped me out with the cooking, cleaning and she let get some rest. She says she doesn't get to see her grandchildren much and helping look after little Jade helps fill the void."
"Oh, Why's that love?"
"Her daughter's husband got a job offer out of state, and you were supposed to turn right back there."
"This way is quicker."
"Oh, so are we just not going to talk about how you know where I live then or let me guess. One of your men told you right."
"Being a smart ass will only get you punishments. You're about to be a lady of the court, and after your training I expect you to act like one."
Silence was all I heard after my last statement.
"Did you hear me Floria?" ...Floria answer me. Ignore me will not get you in my good graces." I say with a little harsher tone. She can't act like this. It drives my wolf wild. We, expect our fated to communicate with us. The silence is deafening to us. We want to hear her voice again.
