REIGN (Crown Book 2)

by Tallulah Bell

  Estelle

  When I awoke I was laying on the bed in my suite. Well our suite. Now that Elijah has finally fully accepted me and is my mate for life. I know how many people who knew how Elijah treated me not so long ago but he is different now. It's like this baby made him think about everything in his life and what he wanted.

  I wasn’t so happy about a baby right now. I just became the Queen. The stress will be alot but with Sydney and Elijah they can help a lot. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want him or her.

  But one thing that stayed on my mind is the visions. Will they get stronger? Why am I the only one seeing them? Why now? Is this a warning?

  So much is running through my head right this second. One is I woke up alone. The last time I fainted, Elijah was there. Where is he?

  I slowly got up off the bed. It was offly quiet around here. Just as I reached for the door. It slammed open nearly hitting me in the face if I hadn’t jumped back.

  “E!!! I missed you so much. Daddy said you are having my baby brother or sister” Lilian said wrapping herself around my stomach and jumping up and down. Placing her head right on my small belly.

  “He did, did he?” I said laughing quietly while placing a kiss on her head. “I miss you more dear” hugging her back.

  “Where is daddy?” I asked pulling away from her only to grab her hand so we could walk together. “He’s down with grandma Sydney,” Lilian said before leading me to them. I was shocked to say the least. Elijah is with Sydney. Last I checked she was upset with him for leaving me. This couldn’t be pleasant.

  Chapter 16

  “They are in there,” she said, gesturing to the conference room. “Thank you sweety. Go play, I am going to talk to Daddy and Sydney okay?” I asked waiting for her to reply only to find she had already run off.

  Well then, I took in a deep breath before pushing open the thick wooden double doors. What shocked me the most was Sydney and Elijah were strategizing. But not alone. The whole room was filled. People lined the walls, all the way around.

  “What is the meaning of this?” I said barging in without knocking. “Baby” Elijah goes to say before I lift my hand up. I saw his eyes briefly flash black before going back to his normal color. I know he hates being interrupted but oh well.

  “We are strategizing dear, Instead of them bringing the war here. We thought the best thing to do is bring the war to them. We have called the strongest of Alphas from around the world. They will be arriving in the next couple of days. If we have any chance of beating these bastards, we need them to back us. With our warriors and our strong wolf mixed with theirs, we actually have the fighting chance” Sydney said walking towards me before dragging me to where the map of all pack lands are.

  “We have come up with a strategy to find out which packs are against us.We believe that those working with Alpha Jason are those near him. Two Alpha have already declined to help us in our fight. They are both solid packs. This comes to light as those two are the ones closest to Alpha Jason's pack. We believe they got together on the Open landed between all three, here” Elijah said pointing to the landed directly in the center or all three. But what they don’t realize is the pack adjacent belongs to Alphas Orion.”

  I was shocked. Everyone knows who Alpha Orion is. He is one of the strongest and deadliest Alpha there is. He is the one people tell their children so they behave. The one people talk about at campfires. Everyone knows that when he is involved death follows at mass. I remember mom and dad telling me about him. Dad met him a couple times whenever the King and Queen would send top warriors to packs to check on their status.

  Dad always said to never get on his bad side. No one wants to feel that wrath. It's like he unleashes hell on earth. No one can stop him once he starts. He used to be different. But no one knows what changed. He murdered his father. Some say for the title but those are just rumors.

  “Estelle,” Elijah said, bringing me out of my thoughts. “So how do we know that there aren’t anymore against us? There has to be more. What Jason implied was that he has many against us. We can’t possibly allow all the Alphas here in the castle when we don’t know who is on their side of this war” I said before continuing.

  “I can understand where you are coming from. Looking at it as a strategy. but we have to look outside of the box. We need to have someone watching them at all times. This is the only way that I can see us finding out who else is on their side and against this kingdom.”

  I looked around the room and saw multiple people nod their heads in understanding before one stood up “Queen Estelle, Nathan Orlando” he said bowing before I nodded my head for him to continue “They packs working with him would have to be those closest to him right? As to not make anything suspicious?”

  I nodded before saying “ That's what I’m thinking but we still need to be precautious and very careful with all these Alphas coming. I need everyone to be on their A game. We can’t have anything go wrong. With this many Alphas under one roof it is bound to be disastrous somehow. We need to minimize that as best as we can. Please keep in mind that someone of these Alphas may very well be working with Alpha Jason and those against us. Together as one we stand tall” I said before looking to Elijah then Sydney who both had proud smiles on their faces. Elijahs is a little more dark. I look closer only to realize the lust he is feeling towards me right this moment.

  Just that look caused my nether regions to throb. Multiple men growled which got Elijah's attention. “DISMISSED” he growled out. Quickly everyone scattered out of the room slamming the doors behind them.

  Chapter 17

  “You should know better than to get aroused around men other than me baby. I’m a very jealous man when it comes to what is mine” he said reaching out and grabbing onto me and dragging me to him.

  “I like when you get all possessive it turns me on” I said into his ear before grazing my teeth along his earlobe. A deep growl rumbled in his chest.

  “You’re testing my restraint baby. Teasing the beast is not a good idea” He said leaning down and sucking his mark. Drawing out a loud moan of pleasure.

  “I want you” I growled out just as he bit into the mark causing all sorts of tingles to go straight to my pulsating core. “OH” I moaned out.

  “This room is soundproof. I want you to fuck me on this table. Right now.” I practically growled out getting impatient. I don’t know if it is all the new hormones coursing through my body or just the fact that my mate is so unbelievably sexy that I can’t seem to stop the beast in me from wanting him buried deep inside me. Maybe a little bit of both.

  “As you wish my Queen” Elijah said bowing at me before picking me up and placing me on the table. “The plans” I groaned out trying to push them away.

  He slowly bent down to take the shoes off my feet. Gently kissing each toe before easing his way up my calves, to my inner thighs. Placing soft feathlike kisses. “I can smell you” He said huskily, taking a big whiff. Any other time I would think that was weird but not right now. I wanted him to smell me. I wanted him to smell what he did to me. Only him.

  I wrapped my finger into his hair gently pulling him to my core. I moaned quietly as his nose grazed against where I wanted him most. Where I needed him. If I don’t have him soon, I know my wolf will take over and I’m not ready for that yet.

  “Slow baby, have patience” He said, kissing my heated core over my shorts. He continued to make his way up my ready body. Slowly raising my shirt as he goes further up. Placing kisses along every part of skin he can see. Not missing one inch. Finally he made it to my waiting breasts. My nipples peppled through the bra. I was so lost in what I was feeling that I didn’t feel him go around my back and quickly unlatch my bra. Setting my breast free for his eyes to feast on.

  I heard him suck in a deep breath before letting it out saying “ Perfect, every inch of your body is perfect.” He latched onto my nipple sucking hard grazing his teeth against it. Giving me unimaginable pleasure just by sucking on m
y sensitive nipples. I moan loudly, lifting my hip to grind against him. At this point I don’t care what part of him I am grinding against. I just need him.

  “Greedy are we” He said, smirking, letting my nipple pop out of his mouth only to drag the other one into his waiting mouth.

  “Elijah if you don’t speed this up I promise I will find somebody else to fuck me.” I growled out. Though I would never actually do that. I’m hoping it would help him speed up. Sure enough it works.

  “No one takes what's mine” he growled out before ripping my shirt the rest of the way off. Then quickly unbuttoning my shorts and dragging them down my thick legs.

  “You’re mine,” he said running his hand up my thigh to my waiting pussy. Pushing my pink thong to the side to shove one of his long thick fingers into my soaking wet cunt.

  “Say it baby, say your mine” he said into my ear kissing up and down my neck softly. But I couldn’t think of anything but his fingering fucking my hot cunt.

  “SAY It” he growled loudly pulling away from me. Only to place his glistening finger into his mouth. Sucking every last bit of my juices off.

  “I’M YOURS” I yelled, reaching out quickly to unbutton his pants and push them and his boxers down his legs. I hopped off the table and turned to place my stomach and chest. “I need you” I basically begged. It didn’t take long for him to bury himself into me.

  “Fuck baby” he groaned out slamming in and out of me. Over and over again. everytime going harder and deeper than before. He took one hand off the table that was blocking me in and lifted up my leg, placing it onto the table. I didn’t think he could get any deeper. But I was wrong. Over and over again he ruthlessly pounded into my pussy. It didn’t long before he had me in a leg shaking orgasm.

  “ELIJAH” I moaned loudly as my orgasm broke through. Three more thrust and he came. But that didn’t stop him; he kept pounding into me till his thrusts became weak. Slowly he pulled out of me. I groaned in pain quietly. But he must have heard me.

  “Are you okay? Did I hurt you?” he asked, turning me around quickly before kissing my sweaty forehead.

  “I’m fine. I will happily take you again right here if it will stop your worrying.” I said laughing a little before bending down to pick up my shorts. “You just might” he groaned out. Causing me to laugh once again. I quickly pulled on my shorts before getting my bra. I turned around so he could help me get it on.

  “You’re going to have to wear my shirt. I kind of ripped yours” he said sheepishly before handing me his shirt. I rolled my eyes before pulling it on. “Do that again and see what I do Estelle,” he said, dressing himself.

  “Do what?” I said innocently as if I had no clue what he is talking about.

  “I think you know exactly what I am talking about,” he said before pulling me into his arms and placing a chaste kiss on my lips. “Lets go, I bet they are wondering where we are” he laughed, then opened the door. This room smells like sex I thought before exiting it.

  Chapter 18

  Today is the day that all the Alphas arrive. I’m a little nervous. This is one of the first big things I’m doing as the new Queen. “You’ll do great baby” Elijah said, kissing me softly before saying “I’m going to the Training Fields, I’ll be back before the Alphas arrive.

  I just nodded my head before heading into the bathroom to shower quickly. I need to get ready so I can go downstairs and make sure everything is ready. Including all the rooms. I’m excited because I get to see Mason again. One of my best friends. I have yet to speak to Tyler. But that’s in due time.

  First we have to deal with these Alphas then worry about quickly merging Elijah’s pack with the Royal pack. Though if he really wanted he could just give that pack to his Beta Alex. But I’m leaving that choice to him. It is his pack after all.

  Once I climbed out of the shower. I wrapped a long fluffy towel around my body before opening the door to the bathroom, letting all the steam flow into our room. I went to my closet picking a beautiful yellow sundress. As I walked out of the closet to place my chosen dress on the bed I stopped, when I noticed Lilian sitting on the bed brushing Adira’s hair.

  I smiled before coughing to grab their attention. “E” Lilian said before noticing I’m practically naked. “You’re naked” she said laughing which only caused Adira to laugh as well.

  “I'm glad you two get along,” I said leaning down to kiss both of their heads. Before turning and going into the bathroom just to pull on my sundress. Next I grabbed my makeup bag and went to sit on the other side of the bed. I began my light makeup.

  Once I finish that the next thing to do is my hair. I borrowed the brush from Lilian and dutch braided my hair to the side. Adira and Lilian both sat there in shock.

  “Can you do our hair that way?” Adira asked quietly. I nodded with a huge smile on my face. “Just like mine?” I asked which caused both of the girls to nod their heads up and down rapidly.

  It took about another 30 minutes before I had both of their hairs finished. “Okay girls, time to get dressed. Lets go pick out your dress. Very important people are coming to the castle and staying a few days so it is really important to be on your best behavior, do you understand me?” I asked, dragging my eyes back and forth between the two of them.

  They both nodded their heads rapidly. “Alright let's go” I said climbing off the bed and slipping on my white sandals. We made our way towards Lilians room. In no time did we give her the princess room she wanted.

  Adira and Lilian sat on the bed, as I went into the closet to find a suitable dress. Over the last two days we had to make a run to Elijah's pack to get a lot of Lilians things. I finally found the dress I bought her to wear. It was a yellow dress with pink flowers on it. She insisted that she look like me today.

  “Here sweetly go put this on” I said motioning to the bathroom door. “Don’t leave me” She said looking at both me and Adira, causing both of us to laugh. “We aren’t going anywhere baby” I said softly. She nodded her head before shutting the bathroom door behind her.

  It took a couple minutes before she came out of the bathroom sulking. “I can’t zip it” She pouted. Causing me to smile at her. “I know” I said before reaching and zipping it up. “Now time for you” I said, pointing at Adira.

  We then made it to the room next door. I then did the same thing. I searched for the dress. Adira had a baby blue dress with yellow sunflowers. We all wore some type of yellow with white sandals.

  “Okay let's go get some breakfast” I said letting them lead me down the stairs to the first floor. When we made it to the kitchen, I quickly whipped up some pancakes and bacon for the kids while I stuck with two slices of toast. I have already thrown up twice this morning, I don’t need to throw up some more. That’s why I didn’t even try fixing eggs. Just the smell will cause me to vomit.

  I sat down and drank my cup of coffee and ate my toast while the girls talked amongst themselves. “I’m going to find Elijah,” I said letting the girls finish their breakfast. Right as I exited the kitchen the Palace doors open. “Alphas have arrived my Queen,'' the guards said before standing on each side of the door.

  “Elijah” I mindlinked him “The Alphas have arrived so get your ass down here” I said. Standing there patiently waiting to greet the first Alpha.

  Finally Eliah came down the stairs quickly making it to my side before the first Alpha reached the front steps leading up to the palace doors. “You’re late,” I said quietly. I didn’t hear his response as the first Alpha made it through the threshold.

  “Greetings, I’m Queen Estelle and this is King Elijah” I said gesturing to Elijah. One after another I repeated the same thing. Over and Over again. There are probably 50 Alphas in attendance. We are missing 4.

  We waited for what felt like hours before one final Alpha crossed the threshold. The most dangerous Alpha yet. Alpha Orion. “Greetings, I’m Queen Estelle and this is King Elijah” I said once again.

  The Alpha looked up with
a look of shock before smiling a creepy smile. One that would scare anybody. He took in a deep breath searching for a scent. Before coming up short. “I'm Alpha Orion,” He said, slightly bowing. “Everyone is in the Dining room for breakfast, please follow us” I said, grabbing Elijah's hand and leading Alpha into the dining room.

  You can basically feel the tension. Some Alphas who brought their mates pulled them closer. Those who were mateless, some of them shook with fear. Others didn’t. Some were skeptical. Alpha Orion has a reputation and everyone here knows that. Just like everyone used to think about Elijah. Hell even I thought he was intimidating. Though I got over that fairly quickly.

  Elijah took the head of the table and I sat next to him. I made his plate before making mine. Once Elijah took the first bite that was everybody's cue to start making their plates. I looked around the table. Some are very familiar, others aren’t. I just noticed that Mason sits to Elijah's right. I smiled widely. He just winked causing Elijah to growl. Only to cause both of us to laugh.

  I looked to the other end of the table only to notice the seat where Alpha Orion was sitting is now empty. I did another look around the room before shaking my head. He probably went to the restroom.

  “Let’s begin shall we?” Elijah said.

  Chapter 19

  Everyone nodded in unison and that when I noticed Alpha Orion had arrived back in his seat. He looked angry. Thoroughly pissed if I do say so myself. I remember that look on Elijah's face not too long ago.

  I shook it off my brain as it has nothing to do with me. “A war is coming, We have a few Alpha’s who are against this Throne. Against me.” I said looking around the room. Some probably wonder why I am speaking and not Elijah. I can see the looks on a lot of their faces.

  However, the Lunas that attended had pride shining in their eyes. all but maybe two. Their eyes showed nothing but jealousy and hatred. I nudged Elijah to start speaking. While he was speaking to the Alpha’s I kept watching the women and their mates.
