His Rejected 'Queen'.

Final Straight!

Often, when you think you are at the end of something, you are at the beginning of something else.

"In a week from now we will be done. Everyone will join his new pack. Martin and Tanner gave me the lists."Preston says with a proud expression while handing me the papers, and I smile pleased.

I mean, we all smile. It's a mixed feeling, relief and joy.

I can't deny that a week ago, when we were still at the very beginning, I wasn't so optimistic, even though we are so many working together, but today I am excited and I approve the result of our hard work.

We found a pack for every single rogue! The packs showed great cooperation and enthusiasm, the new members of our Kingdom talked to us about what they want and need, and the guys worked their asses so hard that we did it sooner than we expected.

We found the best pack for everyone, we took care of every pack's needs, the Alphas informed us about the accomodations they will need for their new members and I have already thought of a way to help them with it.

We will donate money to the packs so that they build houses for their new members, I will take care personally of some scholarships for those who want to go to university and I will have contact with our new members to be sure that the Alphas and their packs treat them equally. Preston, Martin and Tanner will help me a lot with the last matter though, but I want to be close to them, I want them to feel free to come in contact with me no matter what happens.

"I am so tired, my mind is messed up, but I am glad we took no break." Elias murmurs and rubs the back of his neck.

We all groan in agreement and I take a moment to take a short look of them.

They are exhausted, all of them. Some have dark circles around their eyes, some look ready to fall asleep, and I feel sorry for them, but we couldn't do otherwise, we had to hurry.

"You can sleep for the next three days nonstop now, just think about it!" Hunter replies relieved.

"But I can't with Ellie being constantly in bad mood. She is so damn stressed about the preparations." Jeremy says with despair and most of the guys laugh.

Goddess, I do feel bad for him. He is right, Ellie is angry all the time. I understand her though, two weddings and a coronation in such short period of time is not easy. And let's not forget that she is the one bride, she wants nothing, but perfection.

"Nikki is surprisingly calm, I don't understand what you are talking about." Landon says next, obviously addressed to Jeremy, and Thomas taps his arm smiling.

"I expected it from Nikki, don't forget that getting married is nothing in front of to giving birth!" Parker commends and I cough.

"Getting married to Landon is like getting locked in a cage in hell! Poor woman..." I say teasingly and they burst into laughing.

Even Landon laughs, but only after he shows me his middle finger.

"I still have time to convince Diana that running away from you will be the best decision of her life!" he replies while we still laugh.

This has as result a new round of laughing. We have relaxed a lot after a crazy week full of calls, meetings, discussions and e-mails, and spending time like this is , all together, is exactly what we need.
