Chapter 207
But I liked the nightmares, I never wanted to forget.
There were many things about our world that I needed to change before the babies came. In my mind I had a checklist with many dots that needed to be crossed off, my children would have options, strength, and courage to do whatever the hell they wanted to. I needed to make sure that no life would ever be pre-decided based on their gender. Having a girl terrified me, which is why I needed to get going.
I headed inside to talk to Darian but when I walked into his office, he held a letter in his hands as he sat by the desk.
The door slowly closed behind me.
“It’s for you,” he said.
The note had my name on it but when I turned it around and saw the sender, the anger that now lived on my sleeves bubbled on top of my skin.
It was from Iliana.
I locked eyes with Darian and he dragged his tongue over his teeth.
Might as well open it and see what the bitch had to say.
“What’d she write?” He asked when I quietly scanned it and finished with a scoff.
“Dearest, Hazel. First of all, let me say how sorry I am for everything, it shouldn’t have gone down like that. Word around the packs in Valeria is that you and the King are happy now, that you’re staying with him. I guess that makes you Queen. If you don’t mind, I would love to see you again, maybe we could have lunch at the palace and I could stay over for a few days. Things with Emanuel are tense… blah, blah, blah…how about a girl’s weekend? Love, Iliana,” Darian pressed his lips into a thin line and scowled.
“What do you want to do?” He asked.
I held the letter up and ripped it into three pieces.
“If she ever sets foot in this pack without a formal invitation signed by the both of us, I will kill her,” that was a promise from the deepest, darkest parts of my heart. Believe me, I’d act on it too.
“Your word is my command,” he rose from the chair and walked around the desk.
“I wanted to talk to you about some things,” I put my hands on his chest.
“Yes, my love?”
“It’s more of a checklist of things that need to get done before the babies are born. Number one on that list is abolishing the Hunt.” I waited to see his reaction but he stayed quiet and gazed into my eyes with adoration.
“Second on the list is that I want to introduce new laws that prohibit Alpha’s from requiting only male warriors.”
“All the packs in Valeria?” His brows shot up to his hairline.
“All of them.”
He drew a deep breath and bowed his head.
“I also want to implement stricter laws regarding abuse- both physical and mental,”
“Such as?”
“More severe punishments for rape and assault. To believe the victim over the predator, Valeria isn’t for women, Darian, it’s for men and I will not birth my children into a society where one will be seen as superior to the other.”

He was silent. I didn’t need his help or his approval, this was a courtesy talk, when I became Queen I would have control- I could make th His eyes flickered when the wheels in his mind started spinning.
“Write everything down, point by point, I’ll call the Council this afternoon and tomorrow I’ll make sure that every Alpha in Valeria has t in hand,”
