Chapter 251
“Prince Alexander, I thought that since you have spent enough time showcasing your charity, you
might want to finish the opening dance with someone more appropriate to your rank.” It’s the blonde
from earlier today. I have to admit she has some balls coming up to him during what I am gathering
is an important tradition of the conference.
“Skylar is more than my equal, making her more qualified to be up here. I suggest you not make
insults about people you are unaware of Charlene.” Xander starts to move us again.
Before we get too far though, Charlene opens her mouth again. She isn’t going away without a fight.
“She’s just a warrior, how does that make her an equal?
She’s not even of age yet, so you can’t tell me she’s your mate, we all know you haven’t found her
yet. Why would you even spend time with her when there are better choices for a chosen mate from
your own pack? If she wasn’t being a b* tch, I would be impressed with her tenacity.
“First, I have no plans on taking a chosen mate. That is something you, your father and the rest of
the Elders need to get through your head. Second, even without being a part of the Royal Pack,
Skylar outranks you, if that’s what you are concerned about. I suggest you take your insults
elsewhere and do not approach either of us for the rest of the night or I will have you removed.”
Charlene gasps. Seriously? That’s the thing that’s going to offend her, being kicked out of a royal
party. This girl needs to rethink her priorities.
Xander does extract us from her finally to finish the dance.
We walk over to where his parents are accepting drinks from Barty.
“Oh, don’t eat or drink anything that Barty doesn’t give you personally.”Xander looks at me as we
reach his parents. My eyebrows shoot up.
“Really?! People are that crazy”
“People have tried, Little One, so we take no chances.”
Alpha Reggie smiles at me.
“Dad, we need to get Skylar a brand so she can mindlink us.
We have been accosted a couple times and I couldn’t warn her. I know the warriors want to wait
another year, but if she is going to be playing this part, we need to be able to communicate.
Charlene is on a warpath.”
“I saw her approach you, that was bold, even for her.” Luna Anne smiles wickedly.
“Does she really think she is going to convince you to take her as a chosen mate? You would think
being in the Royal Pack, they would understand better than most that the future king needs his
Goddess Given mate.”
“Unfortunately that is not what they are thinking about. For them it’s politics and power. By being
related by marriage, her family specifically, thinks that it will sway more power and control their way
and that they will be able to influence Xander to make decisions that benefit them specifically. It’s
not new, I had a similar issue, but I also found my Anne far sooner than Xander even found Oscar.
Now they just need their Luna.”
It’s so nice to see them talking about Oscar so comfortably.
Not all Alphas would be okay with their son being bis*xual since it could mean the end of their
lineage. But I guess they also know that Xander’s Luna is coming too.
“That is fascinating too, that the Moon Goddess told you she’s coming, but why is it taking so long?
You would think that she would want her Alpha Kings to have their Lunas as soon as possible.” I
ask all of them, but I’m looking at Luna Anne.
“I’m not sure, really. There aren’t a lot of details when it comes to the Moon Goddess. But, I! guess
our future queen has some things she needs to experience and people she needs to interact with
before she gets to us. That’s all that I was told.”
