"She has a point though. That girl lives and breathes being seen at these functions. Maybe not being allowed to attend the next one will sober her up a bit. Hopefully Sky put her in her place enough to leave you alone for a little while.
Until you find your mate, she won't leave you alone. She may not leave you alone after that either. Maybe she's hoping to be a mistress at the very least. We already know she wants to breed with you." Mina backsup with a little smirk.

"Let's teach Midge here how to dance." He grabs both our hands, abruptly changing the subject, and we start to laugh at his antics. He is setting a precedent after rejecting Olympia like that, but choosing to add Mina to our group.
I just wish people would get the memo and understand that an interaction with him here doesn't put them in snonexistent running for the Luna Queen position. But social climbers will never go away. Ambition is one thing, hard work is another, but to gain better things in life by trying to take them from someone else I will never understand.
We dance a little while longer and then Luna Anne lets us leave to go and hang out upstairs. We all head to Xander's room. I never really hung out here the last tI was in the Royal Pack. It's interesting to see the way he lives without prying eyes.
Xander isn't a neat freak, but everything seems to have a place and is well cared for. I do smell Oscar's scent here pretty strongly. I wonder if he's here every night? I wander around looking at the pictures and knick knacks he has on a set of floor to ceiling bookshelves that flank a heavy looking desk on one wall of the room. It looks very official and important with the dark wood up against the medium gray accent wall. The rest of the room is in a soft gray, almost white color and all the frames are varying shades of black and dark gray. The only color is the deep maroon comforter with black sheets folded out over the top and black and maroon pillows all looking inviting.
I quickly raid Xander's closet for shorts and a t-shirt, I am done being in a dress. Mina does the same, spending a little too much tchoosing items. She seems lost in thought while she runs her fingers over the folded piles of t-shirts. I will pack that observation away for a later conversation.
When we both cout, I find Jena, Nathaniel and Wyatt have joined us.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Wait! You changed? Help a girl out!! I mean Luna Queen Anne can dressanytime, but I am done with the monkey suit!" I just laugh at her and she followsback into the massive walk-in closet.
I did discover that Oscar has, indeed, moved in. His warrior clothes and his scent consone whole side of the room that is about the ssize as the room Jena and I share on the compound. I don't know if I will ever get used to the grandeur of the royal family, they are all so down to earth and yet, live here in this castle and have unlimited access to basically every creature comfort you could ever want.
"At this rate, you're not going to have any clothes left." Wyatt laughs at Xander as we walk back into the room "Meh. Midge is worth the effort, don't you think? It's a small sacrifice." "Until your female mate finds out you've been sharing your clothes with other women."
"Who's sharing clothes with women?" Oscar walks in with Barty hot on his heels with a cart of food and drinks for us.
"I was saying that Xander's female mate might not be alright with the girl's scent all over his clothes." Wyatt tilts his head towards Mina, Jena and me.
Oscar looks at us, gets a strange look on his face, shakes his head just a fraction like he's trying to get his thoughts straight all in the span of a second. He coughs and shrugs his shoulders. sa "h th" (F)indN{v}l.et website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
