Fates Hands novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57

Christmas was quickly approaching, Adira had the whole pack house and grounds decorated, there wasn’t a place that was left forgotten. She’d never had a real Christmas before, so she went all out. Duncan looked around and was pleased, the pack house hadn’t looked this good since he was a pup. 12

He had decided that he was going to make sure she was spoiled rotten, besides the normal gifts she would receive from the pack. He had also brought her a special gift as well, his families diamond and saphire necklace, earrings and bracelet set.

He was now taking a tray up to Adira for lunch. She was so close to her time and was having problems with

her feet and ankles swelling, that the Doc put her on bed rest. This is of course making her a bit restless and cranky.

The last two days she had been getting more and more uncomfortable. So he had been dividing up his time with her mostly and then pack issues, Marcus had been taking care of everything else. Thank God for Marcus, his best friend since their crib days. (12)

He also wondered what it is going to be like to be a Dad. Wow, he never had the time to give it too much thought until now. He started to smile with thoughts of his little pup running around the house.

He got up to their door while juggling the tray, he managed to open the door and there was Adira doubled over on the side of the bed. Clearly in

pain. He dropped the tray and ran to her. She looked up at his face with a painful smile.

“Duncan, I think it’s time.”

Felicia was still pissed two days later, she was given a blanket, a pillow and a bucket. The rogue in the other cell went quiet again.

She sat there staring off into the dark, planning her revenge. That little bitch of a she wolf is going to pay, how dare she do this to her. Her plans were all of murder and betrayal. She was going to get her revenge one way or the other. Two more days and she was out of this hell hole. 2

Once she was in the pack house again, she would start putting her plan into motion. Then they will all be sorry for what they had done to

her. Maybe, perhaps Archer will be forced by Daddy to marry me, as some sort of compensation, for what he allowed to happen to her. 2

Though right now she wasn’t sure she was going to stand the smell the dungeon was becoming engulfed in for the next two days.

“What the hell is that smell!? Then it hit her, that smell was death, is that why that rogue went quiet? Oh, God did they leave her down here alone with a dead body?.” ©

“GUARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GUARD!!!!!!!!!! LET ME OUT OF HERE, HE IS DEAD!!!!!GUARD PLEASE!!.”

The only thing her screaming got her was more silence, she started to cry. They will have to take him out of here when they brought her once a day meal. Oh, god she was so hungry but

how would she eat knowing what was rotting two doors down.

She curled up into a ball on her blanket, plotting a few more nasty things she was going to do when she got out of here. Crying, she was never going to get that smell out of her mind. She did have one hope though.

I hope they let me take a bath…..

Lily was sitting on a stool next to the King, while he held court. Everyone was looking at her in curiosity or with a scowl. To be honest she didn’t give a shit. One good thing about going through all that abuse, is that it gave her an inner strength. She stopped caring a long time ago what anyone thought of her.

It was facinating to watch her mate

hold court, it was also quite boring. Most of it was legalities and land contracts, things of that nature. Once it was all done the King then introduced his mate to the council.

Lily almost giggled at the looks on their faces. She managed though to stand tall and regal. Some were just surprised but happy for the King, others were quiet and others still were out right angry.

” As your King I have the right through the Mate Law, to choose my own for when my true mate comes. Lily is my second chance mate and I am hers. I understand that she can’t be an official queen that she will be queen in name only.”

“However, She will be given the respect that is her due. I will also allow her to have some authority to make laws.reguarding children and

“It makes me sick that something as evil as all that was able to get such a big foot hold on us. From now on I and my Queen will do everything in our power to see that it never happens again.”

“I will no longer hold to the old stuffy and blind traditions of the past. Anyone here now who disagrees with anything I have said today, may step down and leave.”

Startled she blushed, when she realized he was awake the whole time she was staring at him. He didn’t say anything more as he pulled her to him and kissed her possessively, she didn’t think that a simple kiss could turn her on soo much, her panties were getting wet just the same.
