The Lost Queen -Book 1- Alden

27. Goodnight

I stretch and reach to grab my phone. 

"Oh wow it's 4pm princess. Emberlynna must have warned everyone about my mood this morning."

I throw on a t-shirt and shorts.

"I really don't want to go out there. Then they will all know I'm awake. I would rather hide in here with you all day. To bad there's no bathroom in here."

I start a pot of coffee.

"I will try to sneak down to the relax room and shower. Then grab some food and blood. Then sneak back up here. Maybe we can get away with hiding and watching star wars movies today. Probably should check on Clark though."

I go towards the door. "I will be back as soon as I can my princess."

"Hey bro." Victor hands me a stack of papers about 10 feet away from the queens door.

"I really didn't make it very far. I was trying to hide today."

"Oh sorry. I won't tell anyone I seen you. Those are the staff applicants for the rehabilitation house for the mine kids. Look them over when you get some time. We got the house already. We need to staff it before we can pull the kids out."

"That was fast."

"Yea people really jump on it when it comes to helping kids. And the amount of money we're paying hourly also helps though." He laughs.

"I don't even want to know man. I'll check them out after I have some coffee."

He takes off down the hall. "K text me." 

I make it down to the relax room without seeing anyone else.

"Good afternoon sir."

"Good afternoon. When you are done hanging up all these kids clothes, can you get me some food to take back up to my room. I need some food and I'm trying to have a quiet relaxing day."

"Yes sir. I can make you a meal to go. Would you like dinner or lunch... or breakfast sir?"

"Lunch is fine thank you."

"Yes sir."

I finish up in the bathroom and there is a box of food sitting on the table in the relax room.

I grab it and my papers.

I make it about half way and Jenny pops her head out of nowhere and hands me a bunch of papers. "Hey I got information for the 5 top boarding schools for boys. Look it over and let me know what you think. Victor is out with Sam right now. They went for ice cream or bicycles or something. I really don't know."

"Ok. Here are the applicants Victor has for the mine kids rehab house. It seems like you will be better at searching through them than I will. I really don't know what to look for when it comes to vampire psychology."

"Oh sure thing. Maybe I can find someone for Sam in this stack as well. I'll let you know what I figure out."

I make my way to Clarks room and knock on the door.

Maddie answers the door. "Good afternoon sir. It's nice of you to come and visit Clark. Come in. I was going to run down and get him a snack."

"Ok I'll visit with him until you get back. Take your time."

I walk in and Clark is grinning like an idiot.

"Well, you seem all better."

"Oh I am. Don't tell Maddie. That floor sucks. I don't know how you 2 got her to sleep in here with me, but I owe you."

"Funny story actually. Victor dropped you on your head."

"That asshole."

"Yea but he played it off as part of a sword fighting injury and told her if she doesn't stay close to you the pain would be unbearable for days because of the mate bond."
