The next morning Nicholas and Sabrina are laughing while eating breakfast. Last night when he arrive Irving was standing in the hall eavesdropping hoping to hear Nicholas say something about Winter be head. But she jerks her head back and looks at him as if he has lost his mind. Irving didn't throw his h Nicholas looks at his father and shook his head. "It seems that one of the men that were staying at th Irving cuts his eyes at him while he's drinking his coffee. He doesn't say anything he's thinking "Damn Nicholas taps the table looking at Irving. "Did you get an ear full while you were in the hallway? Just w "Nothing I was only giving you two time to finish your conversation." Irving doesn't look at either one "Yeah right," Sabrina mumbles looking at Irving.

Irving decided that it was time to change the subject. "Nick it might not be a good thing if word gets a Nicholas chuckles. "I rejected Taffy a while back. As for Morlock and anyone I don't give a f**k what th can be locked up for. But I'm sure you will be one day." He walks out of the room.

Sabrina laughs "Did you really think my son would fall for that bullshit that you tried to plant in his h spying on everyone."

He looks at her and nods his head "actually I do have an important manner to tend to" Irving throws She's looking at him until he's out of the room. "His a*s is up to something"

Irving walks out of the back door making a call. He's looking around making sure that he's alone. He o "Phone conversation"

Hello

Irving: I need your help

Man: I already knew that when I saw your damn number on my phone. What the hell can I do for you.

Irving: I want to know everywhere my son goes when he leaves home.

Man: (chuckles) Why? My nephew is a grown man.

Irving: True but this concerns Cooper Atkinson and his damn son Shane.

Man: Sit why did you mention Cooper's name in the beginning. You still holding a grudge about Ariel I see.

e, he went to her bedroom to tell her that he felt the twins kicking and how strong they are. Also, about him, Winter, and Shane's upcoming shopping trip. egnant by him. But that never came. So he finally decided to walk into the breakfast room. "Good morning" he wakes over to Sabrina to kiss the top of her p and sits down.

es some member that is across the yard.

Irving: Hell yes. Until the day I day. I promised myself that I'll kill that bastard. Now his damn son has stolen my son's mate.

Man: I heard that Shane was mated to the Queen. I had no idea that the Queen was Nick's mate. How did Shane pull that off?'

Irving: that doesn't matter. All you need to know is that it did. Are you going to do it or not?

Man: Sure. Hell is not as if I have anything else to do. I get back to you when I have something. You own me.

Irving: For once couldn't you do something because we are related? Not for money or a damn favor in return. Man: Nope that doesn't pay my bills.

"End of call"

Irving turns to look at the house. "It's time I find out what else my son is hiding"

Manny and Mardon have just finished breakfast. Mardon is walking behind his father to join the men at training. But Manny stops him and tells him to wait in the den for him. He points down the hall "Go stop this isn't going to take long at all." Mardon is looking at his father confused but he walks down the hall wondering "what is that crazy man up to"

All the men have gathered in the yard waiting for Manny to start training. Manny smirks as he's looking around the yard. "No training today. Tonight is the real deal. I have information where that mutt Joe is hiding." He hands the address to Dudley. "So tonight, you all will attack. I want every last one of those slimy fuckers dead."

Dudley is looking at Manny concerned. He knows that Manny is up to something. But he hasn't figured it out yet. He's also wondering why is Manny so wishy-washy. Why hasn't he attacked the palace to get Ophelia out of that damn dungeon,"

Mardon is in the den pacing when Manny walks into the room. "Son your grandparents will be arriving soon. They will be staying at the garden house. I want you there with them. They will be some men there also. I see that look in your eyes. Don't ask any questions. Just make sure that they don't leave the house."

Mardon is about to say something when his uncle Manuel walks into the room. "When did he come back? s**t, this isn't good. What if they find out Josey and Macklin are alive," Mardon is thinking while looking at the two men's hugs.

Manuel sits down and tells Manny that their plan felled to acquire King Kristoff's land and territory. That all of his men were killed. Manny is happy about it that they needed that territory so that they can be close to the palace for his grand finale when the time

comes.

"Father how long at you going to let your mate stay there? Ophelia should be giving birth soon" Mardon is looking at a calendar that is on the desk.

Manny's head snaps at him "I'm not concerned about that woman. I have come to the conclusion that I don't need her or her child. I have an heir that is you. Let Winter kill her and Taffy. Hell Taffy is probably already dead. As for my naïve off, she'll survive. At first, I was worried about her and my pup. Winter is also pregnant so I'm sure that she wouldn't harm Ophelia because of her condition."

"Damn it's a good thing that I'm already born that is on cold-hearted man. Hell, they both are. " Mardon is thinking while looking at his father and uncle laughing.

Shane has Winter's hands walking her to her office. Autumn is walking behind them trying not to laugh at her wobbling walking sister. But she can't hold it much longer and burst out laughing.

Winter turns to look at her sister. She points at Autumn "Stop that. It's not funny not to mention it's rude. Keep it up I'll send you to train instead of attending this meeting." She frowns at her

Shane grins and rubs Winter's swollen belly." Don't let her worry you Star Eyes. You look beautiful." He picks her up and walks down the hall.

"Thank God. I was thinking that we were never going to make it to her office. But sis your handsome mate is right. You do look beautiful. Big but beautiful" Autumn laughs

Winter pats Shane's chest "McDreamy turn me around so I can look at her."

Shane turns Winter to face her sister. "Keep it up I'll fire you as my wing and let Sacha take your place." She laughs "Thank you two for saying that I look beautiful."

Autumn walks past them and opens the door to Winter's office.

Shane kisses her forehead. "You'll always be beautiful to me, Star Eyes"

"Thank you." She kisses his chest. "Let's get the day started. I want to visit Laffy Taffy today."

Shane sits her down in her chair that is behind her desk ."I had a feeling that you would. Her a*s was surprised as hell to see Nicholas last night. I have to admit that I didn't hurt her a*s as much as I wanted to." Shane is looking at the higher ranks walking into the office.

Winter looks at Dimitri and Parker for an update on Macklin and Jackie. Dimitri informs her that some warriors are there still watching them. The couple went straight home after leaving the palace. But they were arguing most of the night about the way Jackie looked at Shane. Macklin wasn't happy about the way Winter spoke to him.

"I thought that I was nice. Since all I wanted to do was to kill her and that woman." Winter is looking at Parker

Parker is repeatedly shaking her head "We should just kill them. Hell, I'll kill them"

Harper looks at Winter "I agree with my sister. But it's not too late."

Winter takes a deep breath "I agree with both of you. I will kill them soon. Especially Jackie. Just for her betraying McDreamy. That's still not sitting well with me. Macklin is you two to do with whatever you please. Jackie is going to regret the day that she came up with that plan. I'm going to rip her into a million pieces." She rubs her belly

Everyone in the room is looking at her and the twins. Because the three ladies are acting as if they are the only ones there.

"Star Eyes, don't forget about the rest of us." Shane kisses the top of her head.

"I would never forget about you. Or you all. That reminds me about King Kristoff has some men camping close to us. I need for someone to call him and tell him I said to move or I'll have them kill. Don't spy on us. He may be the king of the Sea. But Shane and I still rule over him on the surface." Winter looks at her watch." Morlock should be here any minute now.

Gage is about to dial Kristoff's number but he is stopped by Shane. "I'll make that damn call. It's enough that he felt on my Star Eyes's b**t. Now he wants to spy on us. Just because we're joining to fight against the Stonewalls doesn't mean that everything else is off." Shane clenches his fist.

Winter, Harper, Autumn, Parker, Patrice, and Yolanda are looking at Shane confused.

"When did he feel on my butt? Did I miss something?" She rubs Shane's arms

Shane tells her and the others about the times Winter and he were in that ocean. All this time it was Kristoff that was feeling her beautiful round butt.

"Woo, I feel better knowing that it wasn't in my mind. But mad as hell that he touched me without my consent." Winter closes he eyes while the twins have started kicking her.

Shane leans down and kisses her lips and entwines his tongue around hers. Winter smiles when he releases her lips. "McDreamy that's the best medicine I have ever had. Make sure you do that when I'm in labor." She pecks his lips.

"Anytime me beautiful Star Eyes. Anytime. Try not to kill Morlock. Let one or both of the twins have that honor. It might calm them down." Shane points at Harper and Parker. "We're going to meet with our fathers and Uncle Clayton. I'm not far away." He kisses her cheek as her secretary knocks on the door.

Shane and everyone else leave through the side door. Leaving Harper and Parker there with Winter.

Morlock and two men walk into the room. He introduces them as Paulie and Dawson. Winter motions for the three men to sit down as she introduces them to Harper and Parker. She looks at Morlock. "Now tell me what is the reason for this meeting"

"It's about my daughter Taffy." Morlocks sigh then he goes to tell her that Alpha Nicholas has locked her in his dungeon for no apparent reason. He knows that what he and his family did to her and Nicholas was wrong but Taffy doesn't deserve to be punished so harshly.

Parker and Harper are looking at him in disbelief. Neither one can believe that he had the nerves to come to Winter about that tramp after what they had done to her and Nicholas.

Winter hears him out. "Morlock first of all I don't interfere with Alpha's and their prisoners unless I have proof that the person has been detained falsely. Taffy has been charged with treason and attempting kidnapping. Alpha Nicholas doesn't have your daughter. Taffy is here in the dungeon." She is looking at him waiting for a reaction.

Morlock sits straight up looking at her. "Let her go. May I see her?"

The twins stand up looking at him. Winter motions for them to sit down. "Alpha Morlock Taffy is a prisoner of the Royal family. The person that she tried to have kidnapped is me. She was charged with attempted murder for working with Manny Stonewall. Prisoners don't have any visitation privileges So no, I can't allow you to see her. Now if there isn't anything else there I have a busy day ahead of me."

He's looking at Winter absorbing what she has said. "I warned her about hanging around them" Morlock mumbles and frowns. "I understand Your Majesty" he bows and walks out of the office.

"Do you think he'll try a jailbreak?" Harper is looking at the door.

Winter laughs and rubs her forehead. "A jailbreak? Girl, you have been watching too much tv. No, I don't believe he will. Not by the expression on his face. Morlock is hurt but he knows that Taffy has to pay for the crime that she has done. Besides if he does do something so stupid as a jailbreak he's one dead Alpha. I won't show any mercy for stupidity."

Down the hall in Shane's office, he's on the phone with Kristoff. Shane is still furious about him having men watching Winter and him. But mostly because they are watching his Star Eyes.

"Phone conversation"

Kristoff: King Shane, do you have some news about those rogues?

Shane: No not yet. But I'm calling about a different matter. That was brought to my and the Queen's attention. My Queen has asked me to relay a message to you.

Kristoff: Sure, I'm listening

Shane: Remove the assholes that you have camped here. If not we'll kill all of their asses. Don't ever think about spying on us again. Your a*s may be King of the sea but she and I rule the surface. The Queen isn't happy about this bullshit at all when she's not happy neither am I. Do I make myself clear?

Kristoff: Loud and clear Your Highness

Shane: Good now that is settled. I'll contact you about the rogues when we find something

"End of call"

"Son of a b***h. If he doesn't hurry up and find his damn mate, his a*s is going to end up being one gutted fish king." He's looking at Reese, Cooper and Clayton walk into his office.

Clayton and Cooper are filling them in on their suspicions about Malanie and Nesib being held captive by their sons.

Gage looks at Shane "Is there anything that we can do about that?"

Shane's hands are over his mouth as he's thinking about what his father and uncle told them. "We will do our best. Do either of you have the address of their location"

Both men shook their heads. Then Cooper points at Shane. "They will be coming here soon. But we don't know the day. I guess that isn't much help is it?"

Shane is looking at his father. "Today I want you to call them again. Star Eyes and I will sit in on this call. Maybe you can somehow talk in a manner that they will know what you're saying. Give us a day they will arrive. We have to help those people. This might even lead us to their damn sons."

After Morlock left Winter decided it was time to pay Laffy Taffy a visit. She has already set the day that Taffy will die but she's enjoying torturing Taffy for now.

Taffy is sitting in the middle of her cell mediating when she hears laughter. She opens her eyes she sees Harper and Parker laughing at her.

Winter doesn't walk as fast as she uses to so Autumn is walking slowly in front of her. So Taffy doesn't notice that her sister is wobbling.

Winter is walking over to the cell. "One of you open the door."

Taffy is looking at them wondering "what is she going to do to me. Is today, she's going to kill me? Who is the young girl standing beside her?" Taffy is looking at Autumn as she's standing up. Autumn has her arms folded looking at Taffy up and down.

Winter sees the way Taffy is looking at her sister. She snaps her fingers at Taffy. Taffy screams and runs over to a corner still screaming with her eyes closed.

Now everyone is laughing looking at Taffy

"Girl shut up" Winter yells walking closer to her once she has stopped laughing at her.

Taffy opens one eye looking at Winter. "Are you going to kill me?"

"I can't tell a lie. Yes, I am but not today. Your father just left. He told me to give you a message. "Winter is looking serious.

"Is he planning to get me out of here?" Taffy reaches for Winter's arm.

Winter slaps her arm away and shook her head. "Nope, he said that you are a disappointment to him, the family, and his pack. If he ever sees you again that he will kill you himself."

Taffy drops to the floor and folds her legs up and mumbles. "He said he'll kill me"

Harper, Parker, and Autumn are trying to stop laughing. They are enjoying the way Winter is messing with Taffy's head.

"Yes. Before I forget I heard that my mates paid you a visit last night. I'm the luckiest woman in the world. Yep, two handsome mates." Winter rubs her belly. "Yes, I am"

Taffy looks up at Winter and screams before she burst into tears "Nick is my mate." She jumps up and swings at Winter's face.

Winter swings her right balled-up fist at Taffy and hits her in her throat. Taffy grabs her throat and falls to the floor while gasping for air. "Now I must go to see my sexy handsome mates. We're going shopping for our little girls." Winter walks out of the cell. "This is for my sister. " Autumn walks over to Taffy and kicks her in the head. Taffy has one hand on he throat and the other hand on her head as she cries and mumbles." How can she have both of them as her mates. Nick, why did you do this to me?" Winter laughs as soon as she is outside the dungeon. "Damn how can she be so gullible. If you had any sense she would have realized that Nick and I aren't mates. He's still bonded to her a*s. I like the kick" Winter looks at her sister. Parker and Harper pat Autumn on the back.
