The Hybrid King, The Rise of the Kingdoms

Chapter Twenty-Nine

[P.O.V. Adriana Braxton]

Where has the time gone? One minute I'm doing my Luna duties. Next, I am helping Emily with baby Lenard. She had him a week after Vincent's death. His full name is Lenard Vincent Woods. He looks exactly like his Father, with dirty blonde hair and even his blue eyes. That is why I was helping her, and now I am running late for my dress fitting.

Zyston and I have decided we will throw a masquerade ball., well more my idea than his. So all the King's and Queen's and also their commander's and people. So they can get to know who their allies are. It's also so we can talk to them about this huge war ahead of us. We're also going to be throwing the ball at Silver Moon Orchards. It's the perfect time of the year with green grass and beautiful pink and white blossoms on the trees.

Running into the dress boutique, Katrina and Jolene were waiting for me. Sitting in the dressing room with a bunch of dresses already lined up for us to try.

"Hey, guys, where Scarlet?" asking the girls.

"She said she couldn't make it she had the stomach bug," Jolene says

"Oh.." Sounding disappointed. I Invited Scarlet to come to try dresses on with us. We haven't really talked to each other in a while. With living our own adult lives, I really wanted to catch up with her.

"Don't worry, Adri. We can come back to get Scarlet a dress." Jolene tries to reassure me.

"Yeah, so quit with that disappointment vibe. Because we have some dresses to try on." Katrina says, all perky.

"Your right! We have dresses we need to try on!" Saying positively. With the girls agreeing with me, we look for dresses.

After shopping for our dresses, we went shopping for different things for the ball. From flowers, lighting, dishes, and everything that we could think of. Our day was busy from the time we got home and getting everything inside. Finally, we slouch down on the couch, taking a break. My feet were throbbing with my arm across my eyes and my feet resting on the arm of the couch. The guys just got home from doing some things over at the pack house.

"Holy shit! What did you do to buy the entire store?" Tyler asks amusingly, with Joseph standing by him. Looking around the front room, there were bags everywhere, with all kinds of different store brands.

"No!.., Just things we need for this ball." Katrina reply's back. They all get into their own conversation. That when the most delicious smell hit my nostrils fresh forest rain and fresh-cut hay.

A man with black short hair and a small black beard, and green emerald eyes walks in. Wearing a white t-shirt showing off all his muscles. Dark blue ripped jeans showing off how tall he is. 'Damn! My mate looks good!'

"You look quite ravishing yourself," Zyston says through our mate bond mind-link. Oh, how the smallest things he says makes me blush, for that is what I'm doing right now. "Really want to rip that dress off your body right now." 

That right there made me blush super red. Then, making my legs squeeze tight from the arousal forming, Zyston chuckles at my actions. Damn him! and how he can make me feel. 

"Quit your complaining and help me put our mate's stuff away," Zyston says to Tyler and Joseph. Then, carrying some bags in his hand, he takes them to our bedroom. I have the best mate ever.

After resting from that long shopping spree, Zyston had to leave to take care of some company business. Tyler and Joseph are in the front room watching TV. Simultaneously, the girls and I are making dinner, steak, and potatoes with some rolls. Getting a great evil idea grabbing both hands full of flour. Throwing it at Katrina and Jolene, their faces were priceless. I couldn't help but laugh really hard. I had to hold on to the counter from falling over.
