December 3-

When Jonas woke up in bed with his mate snuggled up to him. He leaned over and kissed her cheek, "My Queen," he whispers. "I love you."

She roles over and smiles, "love you too my king." she looked at him, "you know it was weird when I split into three parts. I had no idea what was going on. Brooke appeared and explained to me what was going on."

"Let's not talk about this now. The babies are asleep." He rolled her to her back and kissed her. He made wild passionate love to her. Just as she climax for the third time he roared as he came. He then rolled to his back bringing her with him.

Just then someone knocked on the door. The king sighed and the queen giggled. "Guess our alone, time is over." She rolls off him and gets up to head to the shower, "take care of whomever it is and you can scrub my back." She then walks to the bathroom with shimmying hips. Closed the door.

Jonas growls. He grabs his robe and heads to the door. He opens it to see Michelle there, "sorry to interrupt your alone time Jonas. Jules and Cassie are both in the hospital. Doc said Jules just needs time to heal emotionally from her mate's death. Cassie on the other hand seems to be slowly dying from black magic spell that hit her. When we were sleeping Sondra went ahead and called Amelia. Amelia and some of her top healers are now here trying to reverse it."

"Let me go shower and get dressed. I will head to the hospital." He looks at the time, "inform all alphas, betas, elementals and my cousin to eat before a 1pm mandatory meeting."

"Yes, my king," she closes the door.

Jonas quickly heads to shower, and removes his robe, "Vee, we have to..." a very soapy and slick Vicky jumps in his arms and gives a hard kiss.

He moaned and responded to the kiss. She lifted her mouth and said, "I heard. Just a quicky before we get too busy." She slid down on top of his cock and started moving. He pushed her back into the wall and started pumping in and out of her fast. Then they climaxed.

They quickly then washed, rinsed and dressed. Jonas headed to the hospital. Vicky went to the pups. She walked into the nursery to see Cassidy sitting on the floor with the pups. She has a mobile above each pup and takes turns changing them.

"Good morning Cassidy. How were they this morning?"

"They all were fine. They fussed about 6:30am and I gave them each a bottle. They were diapered and put on clean clothes."

"I know I fed them about 1:30 last night and changed them too. I will change Matty since you are doing Cat."

When all the pups were changed and they were all laying with the mobile above them, Vicky links Alison, "please grab your siblings and your new mates. Meet me in the nursery."

"Yes, my queen."

Vicky looks at Cassidy, "Cassidy with my new duties I will be more busy with unknown new responsibilities. I will most likely be traveling more. Sometimes I will be away for the night. Since you are my current nanny. I would like for you to help me pick at least three more nannies. You will be in charge of setting a schedule. This way you all can have days off and will be available when I cannot be with them."

Cassidy looks at her nervously, "I needed to inform you that I found my mate. I just am not sure if I will be staying here."

"Why would you not be staying here?"

"He is a warrior from Golden Meadows, and he told me about your run in."

"Is it Kurt, Todd, Stanley or Rich?"

"Kurt."

"With you being mated, ask him and the other three to come here."

She links Jonas, "please ask each alpha to assign one of their warriors to me. Plus send Warrior Quinton and Gamma Rusty here. I am also having Beta Kurt report here to me."

"Vicky, why do you want them?"

"These members will become my Royal guard and I am having the quads and their new mates report to me. With war coming I am setting up guards and you can take care of your guard."

"But Beta Kurt?"

"Cassidy is his second chance mate."

"Ok. With Rusty there I know you will be safe. I trust your judgment. I just got to the hospital. I got stopped on the way to the hospital and I had to take of business. Will let you know at lunch how Jules and Cassie are. Contact me if you need my help."

"I will do that. Tell them to meet me at the conference room in the lodge. Love you."

"Can do. Love you too," and the link is closed.

She links Allison, "change of plan. Meet at the lodge conference room once Beta Michelle relieves you."

She links Michelle, "go relieve Allison. I am having a meeting with all the pup guards."

"Yes, my queen."

She links Sondra, "I am having a meeting that I need Cassidy at. Can you relieve her until she can return to the pups?"

"I have been itching to spend time with the pups. See you soon Vicky."

"Cassidy, when Sondra arrived I wanted you to come with me. I am having a meeting with you and the guards. Please tell Kurt to meet us at the conference room at the lodge."

She looks nervous and replies, "yes, my queen."

Sondra shows up, "I've been wanting to get my hands on them. When were they last fed?"

Cassidy replies, "their next bottle should be in about an hour to hour and a half. After your meeting go spend time with your mate. I will watch them the rest of the day."

Vicky leans down and kisses each pup. She walks out the door with Cassidy following behind. "Thank you, Sondra," Vicky calls over her shoulder.

Cassidy follows her out of the cabin. Once outside Kurt is waiting. Vicky smiles, "congratulations on finding a second chance mate. Here is your only warning, I think very highly of Cassidy. If you ever hurt her you will deal with me and you won't like that."

"Your majesty, I would never want to hurt my mate. I am just appreciative that the moon goddess gave me a second chance." He then bows and thumps his chest. "I trust my mate and she speaks very highly of you and the king."

Cassidy laughs, "plus I ripped into him when he told me about the incident."

He looks shameful and says, "I am very sorry for the disrespect I showed you."

"All is forgiven." she looks up and sees Beta Michelle approaching, "hello Michelle. Thank you for relieving Allison. When I am done talking with them. I will have them grab lunch and come back to relieve you for lunch before our leader's meeting that Jonas requested."

She heads to the lodge followed by Cassidy, Kurt, and the Quads and their new mates. She walks into the conference room. Rusty and several others stand. They bow their heads in respect.
She walks to the head of the table and sits in a chair. "Please, you all have a seat."

"I see a few new faces. As you all seem to be aware I am Queen Vicky Thompson. This is a new job for me and you all know about how we were given the rank. As Queen I am going to need a guard detail for myself and my pups. Everyone in this room has been chosen by me, my mate or your alpha to be the first appointed Royal Family Guard.

There was a gasp. Cassidy whispered, "but I do not know much about fighting. I have just done the weekly self defence and am not that great."

She looked at Cassidy, "your job is head Nanny and will be in charge of helping me select more to assist you. Nanny's job is to take care of the pups and get them to a safe room while their jobs," pointing to the others in the room, "will be to fight and keep the pups and me safe when my mate is not available."

Rusty looks at her, "as Gamma, that is my job to be your guard when needed."

"You are right, but we both will have more responsibilities with our new roles. Now before I explain how this will work I would like for us to go around the table and introduce ourselves."

She nods to Rusty and he stands, "I am Gamma Russel from the Symposium Pack. I prefer to be called Gamma Rusty. What I am about to say cannot leave this room until the King officially announced it." He said in a royal gamma tone that made all but the queen submit. "I have been gifted with an elemental power. I have a wolf, Andrew and an elemental guide, Justine. My power is the justice of truth. As you tell us about yourself I will know if you are being truthful." He looks at Kurt, "if you are not being truthful with your pledge. If you are not being truthful it will be an automatic death sentence for treason against the royal family. Just as I pledged myself to you when you were my Luna, I pledge myself to you my queen. I will die if I must save you, your family and our kingdom safe." He glows as the oath is said and he sits down. He nods to the man beside him.

Vicky spoke up, " he also forgot to say he is mated and his mate will have pups in mid to late January."

"I am formally from Orange Pack and my alpha gifted me to you with my permission. I am Warrior Ben Pate. I have a mate who is Warrior Silvia. She is home right now with our new pup, Julie."

"Any of your mates and family will be welcomed to be part of the royal residences." She nods to each person

"I am formally from Coral Pack and was gifted with permission to serve you my queen. I am Warrior Albert Tinz and have not found my mate.

A female warrior stands, "I am Warrior Johanna Dean. I found and lost my mate when he was attacked by a rogue. I threw myself into warrior training and am one of the best fighters with Red Pack."

He looked ready to defend himself, "I am Warrior Timothy Whit and my mate is a male. His name is Rick and is a homemaker to our seven adopted pups ages 2-8."

"There is nothing wrong with being gay. The moon goddess is the one who chose him for you for a reason. Right now it sounds like it is to be parents to orphen or unwanted pups. I commend you for taking them in," Vicky replies. She then nods to the next person.

I was part of the Blue Pack. I volunteered for this job because I haven't smelled my mate, but haven't found her yet. I think she was one of your helpers who brought over food from the Symposium Pack. I could smell her in the cafeteria and then she disappeared. I am hoping to find her."

After this meeting I will have Cassidy take you to her mom. She will be able to tell you who has helped here."

"Thank you, my queen."

"I am from the Green pack. I am Warrior Chris Shell." He points to the man beside him. "I discovered my mate while here. This is Warrior Bryan Bryd from the yellow pack. We both volunteered so we could stay together."

"My name is Allison and these three,"she points to, her siblings. "We are quadruplets. I am the oldest and then next is my sister, Madison. We are identical twins. The other half of our set is my brothers: Mason and Carson who also are identical twins in our quadruple set. The four of us got rejected by our mates. It isn't like the packs following the false doctrine. It was the case that our mates did not want two mates. They only wanted one. My sister and I had a shared mate. My brothers had a shared mate. Which happens a lot with identical twins."

Mason took over, "We were students here and had just graduated. We were hurting and did not want to go back to our pack weaker because of our hurting. We were offered a place on the warrior squad."

Carson spoke next, "when the queen gave birth we were offered a spot to guard her pups. We accepted.

Madison said, "the four of us found four others who had been rejected. We went to the elders and they blessed our union. Allison is now mated with Ulysses; I am mated with Donald; Mason is mated with Stacy; and Carson is mated with Beatrice. We are all happy to be together helping to take care of the pups."

"I am sure you either witnessed or heard about my disrespectful tone to our queen. She offered me a chance to learn about her. I went to her cabin to talk to her. I discovered my mate." He smirked and added, "man did she lay into me when I explained why I was there. You never want to make her mad. You may think omegas are mild and meek. Well I can tell you she isn't. I will be praising and thanking the moon goddess for my second chance mate. Just so you know I totally trust my mate. She swears our new King and Queen are wonderful wolves. I have already talked to her and asked for forgiveness. She has given it to me."

Cassidy smiled, "if you haven't figured it out my name is Cassidy and he is my mate. I am happy to have him and to care for the princes and princesses."

There was a knock on the door. Rusty went to answer it. Warrior Quinton was there. "King Jonas saw me on the training field with Gideon. He asked why I wasn't at this meeting. I wasn't aware I needed to be here."

Rusty stepped back to look at the queen. Warrior Quinton is here would you like for him to still come in?"

"Yes, I forgot he did not have anyone by him to link. If I had known he was with Gideon I would have asked him to pass it on." Rusty stepped back and indicated for him to sit down in a vacant chair."

"Everyone this is Warrior Quinton from Striker Pack. We just finished introducing ourselves. After this meeting please be sure to introduce yourselves. Now let me get on with this meeting.

Jonas is letting me choose my guards and we chose the pups guards together. I felt that to form a stronger alliance I need to bring forth warriors from the packs and from rogues. You all passed the first test by still being alive." All but Quintin looked shocked and turned to look at Rusty. Quinton looked toward the queen with a puzzled face.

She looks at Kurt, "Out of respect for your beta position I am going to place you in charge of training and scheduling of the guards. You will be my Lead Guard Kurt. You will report to Gamma Rusty. He will also give you schedules of my and the pups schedule. But with this being a new position for all of us I do expect a lot of last minute changes."

She looked at Rusty, "as you know Sondra and Edmund will work together to make a daily schedule." She looks around the room, "Those who don't know Sondra is my personal assistant and Edmond is my mate's organizer."

She then looks at Rusty, "if you feel you need to add more guards that will be your responsibility. Plus my husband will be adding men to the guard who will be his escorts."

She turns toward Kurt, "they will be part of your training program. I do not know if you will be in charge of their schedules or if my mate will go through the gamma. He has always used the gamma for this, but as I said this is transition time."

She looks at Allison, "I know you as the eldest has been doing your schedule for the pups. You will be assistant to Lead Kurt. I know as the pups get older and more active you will need more help. You will let the lead know. You two will work together to get more help with the pups. When he has days off you will be the one in charge. You will also need to know my guards and the king's escorts."

"Yes, my queen."

She looks at Cassidy, "Cassidy, you will be in charge of the nannies and the pups schedule. Soon the pups will be crawling and active. They will do some of their own things. Their things might take them various ways. Even as they get older their schedules will go through you. As I told your mate, be adaptable to change. You will let him know the pups' schedule."

She looks around the room, "The gamma and lead will figure out schedules and placement of who will be in charge of the various squads who are on duty. If at any time a personal conflict happens with the schedule you go to the lead to work it out. If at any time you feel you cannot do this duty you inform both lead and gamma. Do you understand?"

"Yes, my queen," they all say.

"Gamma, have them all do the oath."

Gamma stands up, "All of you stand up and form into formation by the exit." They all stand up and head toward the door where there is enough room to form three lines. "Raise your right hand," and all right hands go up. "I, (STATE YOUR NAME), do solemnly swear I freely join the royal guard with no thoughts of ill will toward the royal family and their kingdom."

As the queen watches they all repeat what he says but states their full names. "I by blood oath" he extends a nail and pokes his finger and grabs a bowl where his blood drips in, "to protect the family and kingdom to the best of my ability and if I betray that trust may the moon goddess strike me down immediately and mark me as a traitor." They repeat what is said and each poke their finger and move to the gamma one at a time to add their blood in the bowl. Then move back into line. When the last one is done he turns to the queen, "my majesty, they have given the blood oath to protect you, the pups and the kingdom. Do you accept their oath?"

Vicky stands and walks over to Gamma Rusty who is holding the bowl of blood oath. When she is beside him, she extends a claw and slices her palm. Her blood drips into the bowl. She then places her hand in the bowl and stirs it up. "I Queen Vicky Thompson of the Supernatural Kingdom hereby give a blood oath to support and rule you with honesty, justice and integrity. I accept your blood oath mixed with my own." The room then glowed with a blue black of her element. When the glow faded away everyone in the room carried a stronger aura.

She started walking toward the door and they parted and knelt on one knee. They placed their hand over their heart and watched her open the door and depart.
