"Have you lost your wits Ahren!" Callen growled slamming his fists in the table.

"Those rogues controlling their own territories?" Callen ran a hand through his raven hair, clenching and unclenching his jaw. Ahren scowled his eyes gleaming with disgust.

" You are against it simply for your own benefit! You have control over the vampires in the U.S yet you fail to admit to your own king." Ahren glanced at Lance whom was playing with my hair in between his fingers.

"You lay claim else where?" Lance murmured.

"Yes your highness" Callen said arbitrarily caught in his own argument.

"You understand that it was untouched land by either myself or the others. The land is unneeded to have royal rule. It has made it clear in the years prior no noble is to have access there"

"Your highness they are simply barbarians! No class at all, no social order only covens!"

" What pre tell is wrong with that?"

"Everything!"

" You are to jaded Callen"

" Your father would have agreed with me. They are making a mockery of us mating with humans mingling with them. It's a shock they do not shout to the world the order of vampire kind!"

"I suggest you calm yourself Callen." Lance growled.

his wife soothed rubbing circles in his hand. He looked at her lovingly.

"I will withdraw but I want to discuss this further."

"Further we shall."

"You are all dismissed" Lance commanded turning his chair entirely to me. His eyes pleaded skin-ship. I sighed touching the side of his face, he leaned into it oblivious to the expression his followers gave. Callen's wife Nadeline smile when I withdrew from Lance. "My children adore you your highness. I am sorry entertaining them made you late."

Her smile was motherly. Her skin was a warm brown her hair long and flowing to her waist. "Please do not mind my husband" she stared daggers at him as he argued with Ahren. "Please, he humors me so. My husband can be quite the handful. I do hope you excuse my late arrival" "of course it was more slanderous than resolving if issues" I could hear the children screaming outside. "They seem to be-" I cut her off turning to the window. Those were screams of terror not delight. The room grew quiet as we felt the strong presence of vampires and wolves." Quickly, assemble the guards! Harmony move away from the window.

I was glued to my spot as I saw a large bear like creature bound from the forest. A wolf my senses told me as its large claws swiped at Alex. I lost all reason a deep growl arose from chest. Pulsation went through the room as the glass shattered around us. I stood on the balls of my feet leaping from the window. "Harmony!" "Queen" I heard them yell to me as I landed with a graceful tap. As my feet touched the ground the children ran to me, taken in by presence.

I counted the children as they came in flurries. The Guards charged through the doors heading into the garden. The wolves were in a small pack of eight. The first four tipped through the guards mercilessly. The others charged me and the kids . I blocked them my eyes glowing. The wolves flew back from my barrier. I growled my nails turning into claws I wanted blood shed.

"Lady harmony" Alex squeezed pulling my dress.

" Are you okay?"

No, I wasn't okay this aggressiveness wasn't like me. What was I trying to defend? Lance landed in front of me. He roared causing all the chaos to stop. The guards kneeled in submission as did the children and watching nobles. The wolves stared at him with confusion and fear.

"Who sent you!?"

He pulled me into his arms his gaze never leaving the wolves. He pressed his lips to my forehead.
