Fighting Spirit: The Royals

Unknown:

“Damn it! Vance. I gave you one fucking thing to do.” A deep hiss erupted as I sat quietly in the dark corner of the hallway.

How did I end up so fucking lucky?

“What? Listen to Randy proudly banter about the next sitting King, and his whore of a Queen.” Vance hissed lowly in the back corner of the cell until he went in front of the Council. Just like his Uncle with his own fucking agenda.

“Yes. The whole fucking point of hiding Victor that entire time was so we did not have to deal with the next Lycan Royals.” I huffed at his arrogance as he shifted slightly leaning his arms against his knees.

“Hah. You talk like you know about Lycan’s.” Vance laughed darkly as he laid his head against the clean, soft grey stone wall closing his eyes like it was a vacation.

“Yes, I know more about them than you my young pupil.” I laughed deeply as Vance’s eyes snapped to mine from the dark corner.

“Now, not only do I have to clean up your mess with the Council, but now your Uncle also.” I laughed smugly as I stood up from the shadows, revealing my regal body.

“What do you plan Jonah?” Vance asked softly as he rolled his head sideways looking down the long corridor of darkness.

“Do not Fucking question me, you are in no position to question what will be done.” I hissed as I felt my blood boil in rage. Arrogant little bastard Fairy prick.

“Oh really? Maybe I should just tell the Council, or better yet, my dear Uncle of your plot to overthrow his throne and bask in the glory of being the Next Fairy King.” Vance laughed darkly with his smugness.

Hah. You want to play little fuckhead, let us play.

“How about this, making your dear sister my slave. Oh, the things I could do to that virgin body of hers.” I laughed darkly as Vance launched himself at the bars, reaching for me. Try and reach me you little peasant.

“You will not look at her, let alone think about her.” Vance hissed darkly as he glared at me with a murderous stare.

Oh, there is that fire I like about him.

“Do not make me laugh.” I huffed as I turned slowly to exit the hallway of the holding cells.

Hearing the defeated hiss of a breath being exhaled.

“Fine. What do you want me to do?” Vance huffed in defeat as he slid slowly down to the stone floor, looking at me with a side glance.

“Do not say a fucking word. I will handle this.” I huffed annoyed looking at him over my shoulder with a sinister smirk.

Dropping my head back as I breathed in the sickening sweet smell of the crisp air. Humming as I slowly exited into the Council Headquarters with its oppressive atmosphere. The time has come to handle things my way.

No more relying on others to get my Kingdom.

Jack:

Waking suddenly to the early morning sunrise, feeling an empty bed where Mei should have been sleeping. Scanning the room quickly for her beautiful face, but nothing awaiting my gaze.

“Shush, Nikola you will wake Micah.” Mei’s soft voice whispered through the baby monitor causing Brutus and Goki to purr gently.

Sliding quietly out of bed as I made my way down to the nursery, finding Mei walking quietly on the terrace. Nikola cradled gently against her chest as he gripped, suckling her swollen breast.

“Baby?” I linked as she turned slowly placing her finger up to her lips.

“He started fussing, so I was trying to avoid him waking Micah.” She replied as I walked quietly past Micah sleeping soundly in his crib.

Stepping up behind her looking down at Nikola lazily roll his eyes as he got his fill of warm milk.

“You could have brought him back to our room.” I said as I ran my hand up her back, feeling her muscles twitch under the thin silk material of her nightgown.

“I did not want to wake you.” She said as she looked over her shoulder up at me with her tired eyes.

“You need sleep too.” I said as I scooped Nikola up, patting his butt to burp him.

“I haven’t been able to sleep right. Every little noise wakes me up.” She said as she slipped into the bathroom to wash up.

“It is normal to be alert, especially with these little ones.” I replied gently kissing her cheek as I laid Nikola down to change his diaper.

Brutus and Goki stirring slightly. Hah. So much for our little deal. PUSSIES!!

“No, this is different JR. I feel like something is waiting in the shadows.” She replied leaning against the doorway as she watched me change Nikola like a skilled pro.

“Like we both agreed. We will handle whatever comes our way, never backing down.” I smiled softly, cupping her cheek with my free hand as we walked back in the nursery to lay Nikola down.

Lacing our fingers together as we slipped quietly out of the nursery, back into our room. She slid back into bed as I crawled in behind her, pulling her into my chest. Gently stroking her hair as her eyes fluttered closed feeling sleep creep back over my eyes.

“Jack?” Max linked. Groaning silently as I looked down at Mei sleeping peacefully.

“What Max?” I replied in a groggy haze.

“A delivery just showed for you.” Max replied laughing sarcastically hearing Seth in the background grumbling about something.

“Okay. Damian and Derek said they were sending something. I am going back to sleep.” I replied breathing Mei’s scent in as I awaited sleep to wash over once again.

“You need to see this.” Seth linked sounding questionable.

For Fuck Sake!

“Fine. I will be down.” I replied as I gently broke away from Mei’s warmth, sliding out of bed.

Protesting silently as I made my way across the room. Double checking before I slipped out of our room.

“Where are you?” I linked Max as I descended the stairs, running my hands through my messy hair, yawning like the king of the Jungle.

Brutus and Goki yawning as they shifted in the shadows.

“Grand hall.” Max replied laughing lightly with Seth.

Hooking a left at the ground floor, past the kitchen down the east hallway to the Grand Hall. Talking and laughing erupted from the large room as I stepped in stopping mid-step.

“What the Hell?” I exhaled darkly as I rubbed my face with both hands, rubbing around to my neck as I exhaled a deep breath.

“A chair fit for a King.” Brutus and Goki laughed loudly as I stood in silence looking at the massive hand carved Wolf throne of the First King.

“The picture did not do this justice.” Seth laughed leaning an arm against the massive six-foot-tall hand carved chair with a massive snarling wolf head at top.

“Fuck! How did it survive the collapse?” Max asked amused as he ran a finger over the detailed carvings along the dark Tiger Oak sides.

“The delivery driver was very curious about the crate.” Max laughed as he side glanced me with a perked brow, smiling evilly.

“Talk about making a statement.” I laughed darkly as I studied the chair, feeling the soft blue velvet upholstered cushioning.

“Aww, good it arrived.” Desmond laughed with a snarky tone as his heels clicked softly against the polished marble flooring.

“You knew about this?” Seth laughed asking with a shit eating grin.

Desmond smiled brightly nodding his head “yes” as he whistled turning towards the door as two Elites rolled in a matching throne, but more feminine.

“Mei will not like this at all.” Max huffed irritated as we all pinched the bridges of our noses.

Exhaling deep annoyance.

“These are only for formal gatherings, nothing more.” Desmond laughed as they positioned the Queens throne next to the Kings.

“Izzy is the same way. She hates having to sit in hers.” Desmond laughed lightly as he pulled the clear plastic covering off the throne, revealing the same Tiger Oak but lighter in color with purple velvet, instead of the Royal Blue of the King’s throne.

“Wait until you see the Crowns.” Desmond laughed as he motioned to his head, doing this weird Vogue gesture with his hands.

Heavy eye rolls as we all sat down on the stage ledge, relaxing briefly before loud roaring growls erupted through the house.
