The Throne

Chapter 17

Eric 

What a feisty little thing she is. I was somewhat shocked that she smacked me in the face. But then again, I probably deserve it. I hope me not wanting kids will not drift us apart. I saw a small flick of sadness on her face when I told her. I do not want to make hers upset when we are together, but I guess that needed to be said sooner or later.

One maid brought our food up as soon as it arrived. I was able to find a Chinese place 25 minutes away, even though they told me it was out of their delivery area. I told them who I was, and I would pay them a lot of money if they would send someone out with our large food ordered. He agreed and 45 minutes later; it was at my door.

''You didn't have to get every item on the menu, Eric. I can't eat all of this! She snickered at me. I roll my eyes at her and got off the bed and walked over to the small coffee table near the tv. ''We can give some to the royal warriors who protect our kingdom and the ones who do night portal. But with me being a werewolf, I need at least 5,000 calories a day to not be starving unless I eat something sweeter beforehand.''

She gives me a knowing look but doesn't say anything about it. ''I would be fat as fuck if I ate that much in one day. But since I have been here, I have been craving something else, but I don't know how to get it.'' I ponder what it is. ''I am sure I can get it. I am a billionaire, and my money is and now your money.''

''I don't think I need money for it.'' What the fuck does she want that does not cost money unless it's something like a hug or a kiss? ''Spill it, Elena,'' I said. She lets out a ragged breath and says, ''It's your blood. I want to taste your blood again.'' I shake my head at her. Was not expecting that answer.

''Um, I don't think that's a good idea. You seem to like it too much every time you drank it a couple of nights ago.'' She turned around and said, ''I feel better and more awake when I drank it. Just a glass, please?'' How can I not say no to her? She is my entire world, but I need to put my foot down sometimes, and this is one of them. ''No and I will do some research on why you your body is craving it.'' I grabbed the container of the chicken and poured the chicken into the bowl, and drizzled the sweet and sour sauce all over the chicken. I put a piece in my mouth and it's not the best tasting I have had from a Chinese cuisine. ''Fine. So, do you like the sweet and sour chicken?'' She asked while stuffing her face with the dumplings I got her.

''Not the best, but it's food, so I can't complain too much. Dumplings good?'' She nodded her head since her mouth was full of the stuffing from the dumplings. We ate in peace while the tv was playing teen wolf in the background. Does she know half of that shit is wrong? I don't know what's worse, this or that twilight movie. ''I am so full. How can you eat so much at one time? My stomach hurts just watching you eat so much.'' She rubbed her stomach while laying down on the king size bed. I snickered at her and said, ''No idea. I eat more when I fight or train. Running doesn't need as much as the other shit I do daily.'' She sat up and walked over to the bathroom and I could hear the stream while she went to the bathroom. Sometimes I hate having super hearing. I don't need to hear her use the restroom. I block it out and turn my eyes back to the tv to block it out as much as i can.

''Eric, do you mind if I can order some tampons? I didn't realize I started my cycle.'' She walked over towards me and grabbed the Advil out of the end table near her side and swallowed them without drinking anything. ''Yea, I can have the maid go out and grab some but you could ask one of them now if they have spares ones.'' She looked at me funny. ''What?''

''Eric, wolves don't get periods.....''. I am such a dumbass. ''Right, okay, let my mind link my staff and see who can go out now and get some.'' I opened up my link and said, ''Your queen is in need of some tampons and some period pain meds as well.'' One of the human maids that works here said she has some she can have. I totally forgot we have a human maid. I hired her before Elena came home. Thought it would help her since she wasn't used to wolf customs. I watched her go over to the closet and come back out in a tank top and some sweat pants that she brought her with her. I really need to take her shopping tomorrow.
