Chapter 0255


    "Don''t be too hard on yourself, Little One. Your assessment is correct. These people mostly deal in


    words, brides and threats. Especially in the King''s Castle. They will not risk being an outcast here,


    but that doesn’t mean that they won''t try things away from the king. You did good tonight, though."

    "You were watching me?"


    "The King would trust your safety to no one else.


    Remember, you are special, Little One and very important to this kingdom."


    I all of a sudden felt very tired. I don''t want to be special, I just want to be me. I want to be a


    warrior, find my mate and ride off into the sunset with my family like a romance movie. Is that too


    much to ask? I lean into Xander and rest my head on his chest. His arm tightens around me and I


    just close my eyes breathing in hisforting scent.


    The next thing I know I''m swaying, like someone is rocking me gently to sleep. I take a deep breath,


    and bury my head into the soft fabric I''mying on. I hear whispers around me though, which is


    pulling me closer and closer to consciousness, making me grumpy.


    "You should have seen her shut down Bastian. I''ve never seen someone else dominate a


    conversation with him before, it was amazing.”


    "She went toe to toe with Olympia too. I thought that girl was going to wet herself. I’m already a little


    terrified of Sky, when she gets her full Luna powers she’s going to be a force, bigger than she is


    now."


    "What makes you think she will be a Luna?” I’m starting to recognize voices now. Osiston is asking


    Oscar, I think. The swaying is lulling me back to dreand, but I need to fight it, I want to hear this


    conversation. Are they talking about me?


    "Shemanded a room of over fifty people, during the conferences today, as a female with all of


    these old school bastards who think females should be relegated to the pups and the healing


    rooms. The only reason they brought their own daughters in, who had no concept of what was


    going on, was because they found out she was going to be there and wanted the chance to parade


    them in front of Xander, not actually participate. She shut all of them down and proved she


    deserved a spot at the table without being mean or petty or having a political agenda behind it.


    Then tonight she stepped up to each insinuated insult and let no one intimidate her. If she’s not a


    Luna, Warrior Brogen, I would fear for your job security.” The people around usugh quietly.


    "Here Xander, I want her in this guest room, closest to you.


    There''s a few I still don''t trust that might try something tonight.” I chose that moment to open my


    eyes, take a deep breath in and look around.


    "Hey Midge.” Xander whispers. "You fell asleep in the elevator. You''re staying here tonight and all


    day tomorrow, so dont try sneaking out early to go running,”
