Something worth celebrating.

My stomach is in knots when we get home later that morning. I’m torn between being happy, anxious, and terrified.

King Hastings isn’t going to like what the Alpha Council decided. I know for a fact that my father has tried to get a seat on the council for years. The fact that they just handed me a place will upset him greatly.

Then there is the fact that they consider me the ruler of the dark fae…

Me.

Queen.

It’s still so weird to think about it. I have spent the last few months trying to remind everybody that I’m no longer a ‘princess.’

As nervous as I am about taking my place as the leader of the dark fae, I know that I can do it.

Before I met Devin, I was too scared to ever take on a role like this. I never would’ve defied my father. I preferred to remain hidden at all times. But after meeting Devin, I realized it wasn’t right for me to sit back and take the abuse. It’s important for me to stand up for myself.

Maybe this is why I met Devin at only eighteen. Fate knew that I would need him to make it through this time in my life. And having him with me gives me courage.

When we get back to the house, Devin and I are about to head into the dining room to do our school work, but Damian stops us.

“We need to talk,” Damian says.

Devin grabs onto my hand and tugs me over to the couch, where Damian is taking a seat. Monica is nowhere to be seen, she’s probably putting Grant down for a nap.

Damian focuses on Devin. “Are you still mad that I didn’t tell you what was happening?”

“I understand why you didn’t,” Devin says. “But I don’t think it’s right to keep things from me, especially not things that directly affect my mate. You know I wouldn’t do that to you, so it’s not fair that you did it to me.”

“You’re right, and I am sorry.” Damian rubs at the scruff on his jaw. “Even though my role as alpha is temporary, I’ve gotten used to it. I’ve even gotten used to taking care of you, but you don’t need me to anymore. You’re grown up now.”

“You don’t like being alpha,” Devin says.

Damian shakes his head. “You’re right. I hate it. It has never been a role that I wanted to take and I will happily hand it over to you this summer after you graduate. But that doesn’t mean I’m comfortable with the change that is about to take place. Knowing how hard this job is only makes it that much more difficult. You’re so young to take all of this on.”

“It’s what I was born for.” Devin sits forward on the couch. “You and Monica both hate your position in the pack, but Tori and I were handpicked by fate for this. We can handle it.”

“I know.” Damian sighs, looking at each of us. “I’m sorry that I’ve been going about this all wrong.
