Chapter 24

Elle Point of view
We didn't finish what we were doing until the wee hours of the morning, believe it or not. Even when his royal companions departed, he did not even bother to peek at them as they went. We may have stayed up till the early hours of the morning if I hadn't passed out. He drained all of my water until I was completely dry. I understand that having a lot of energy is natural for him, but what about me? Even the beast that lives inside me is becoming agitated.

When the wind began to blow, my hand slid alongside me to check whether he was still with me, but he was nowhere to be found as he always was. I believe he has made up his mind about what he is going to do. This month, he seems to be busier than usual. It seemed as though he was getting ready to do something.

I took the blanket and wrapped it over my body before sitting down properly. I was going to shut my eyes as I laid my back against the headboard...

“Logan! Do you happen to be here?" As the man in the crown with red robe like Logan approached, the door swung open with a loud thud. He glanced at me with wide eyes, as if he were bewildered. “Logan! Don't tell me you became a woman!”

My face was uncomfortably hot as soon as I noticed he was moving closer to me. The heat radiated from my face to my ears as I put a blanket around myself. The lady in the emerald robe halted him in his tracks and tugged his hair, just as he was about to jump to me.

“Brother Caius! How many times do I have to tell you not to go into a room that you don't own?" A gorgeous lady, who I believe to be my age, approached and held the man she addressed as "brother."

"Aw! Aw! Sister Ursa, hurry! Please, let go of me!" Ursa yanked on her brother's ear as the stranger yelled louder than before.

"Say sorry!"

"No!"

"Action is taken! Show your regret!"

“Sorry—”

He couldn't finish what he was about to say when someone walked in and called his name out of nowhere. Gaia was staring at me with a terrified expression on her face. She gulped her saliva one by one after another. And then turn to the sister and brother.

“Prince Caius! Princess Ursa! Forgive us as we will not be able to accommodate your arrival directly. Your Majesty has informed you that he is now in the council chamber, conversing with the Alphas of another pack, and he has requested that you wait for him in the waiting room."

"Ehh... What are you talking about? Isn't that Logan?” The fact that I was not Logan at all, Caius pointed out to me as if it were a miraculous occurrence. Is he going insane already? It is said that no one has ever heard of a wolf changing its gender throughout the whole time that wolves and lycanthropes have roamed the earth. When it comes to rank, I still believe in it, but when it comes to gender, I'm not sure what to think.

Gaia and Ursa were sighing, and I caught them. When Ursa gazed at me, I noticed that her eyes traveled through my body and into my soul. "Brother, please go to the waiting room and just sit there till I come. Gaia, lead Caius in the right direction."

"Yes, Princess."

Gaia glanced at me, as if she still didn't want to leave me, but she couldn't do anything since the "princess" was in front of her. "I don't want to leave you," is what her eyes are saying. I didn't say anything, just shrugged and stared her in the eyes. I communicated with her through the ability of telepathy.

[It's all right. I'm fine. Do not be concerned about me; instead, accompany him.]

[However, Your Majesty has ordered that I keep an eye on you. It's possible that he'll be upset with me when I leave you.]

[I'm the one who's speaking with Logan. So do not be concerned.]

I gave her a kind smile.

"Gaia, what are you putting off? Get out of here and follow my orders."

"Yes, Princess."

We were both staring in the direction of the closed door when it slammed. In addition, I looked her in the eyes, and her eyes were similar to Veronica's in appearance. Again, they are in the same color, but this time I'm not envious because I know that Logan's heart belongs only to me.

"I have a feeling Logan didn't care for the beta. So why is there a beta here? Not only a beta but a shadow pack member as well." She had lost the kind and sympathetic expression that she had before. It has been supplanted with animosity.

In retrospect, I should have been more prepared for the possibility that many women might turn against me if I had chosen Logan. I didn't reply to what she said since she was the same as Veronica, but she was barking instead of talking. She isn't likely to assault me right away, either, based on her position..

"I was under the impression that Veronica would be more difficult to kick from this palace. In the event of your appearance, I can not believe that Veronica is nothing more than an ant in comparison to me." She just grinned and didn't pay attention to anything else.

"If you're finished visiting, go back to the waiting area because Logan could be waiting for you."

I saw that her jaws were clenched and that she was trying to keep her rage under control. To be quite honest, I couldn't care less about what she has to say. As a result of what Logan and I did last night, my body is still in pain. The only thing I want to do today is sleep and not be bothered by anybody, but I can't since there is another lady chasing after me.

"Aghh." I stretched my body. "Actually, I needed to relax since Logan had made me exhausted from everything we had done all night. As you can see, even my throat is sore from sobbing and moaning so much. My legs were also in pain because he continued to slam and bang on me until I blacked out. So, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to get some rest." I gave her a friendly grin as the smile reached for the skies.

I went back to sleep and didn't look at her again, despite the fact that I was laughing in my head. Yes. I should be the Queen because I am the queen who isn't bothered by anything. Then, I closed my eyes and surrendered to the sleepiness that had enveloped me.

***************

I awoke from my deep slumber to the sound of a timid tap on the door. I rolled my eyes and felt the heat radiating from my body, and my eyesight seemed to be spinning. I was also unable to talk due to a dry throat sensation. So, regardless of the fact that I was dizzy, I attempted to rise up and open the door for whomever knocked in.

What time is it exactly? Why do I seem to sleep so long?

Before I could open the door, I grasped and leaned to it because of dizziness. When I realized who the person was, I scowled. Ursa was standing there once again, and I recognized her. She looked at me with a grimace on her face. She was holding something in her hand. I looked at her as if drowsy. It also causes me to sweat profusely and intensely. In addition, I was out of breath.

"What... Haah... I don't know... Is this what you're looking for?" Because of the heat generated by my breath, I also have difficulties speaking. Ah. I believe I'm suffering from a fever.

"Can you tell me where Logan is?" She attempts to sneak a peek around the back to see the inside. "He didn't come with us to the waiting room, which was disappointing. We've been waiting a long time, and I was becoming bored, so I decided to make a dessert cake for everyone. Please give it to him."

I took a glance at the dessert she was holding and then snatched it from her.

"Make certain that it is given to—" The door was closed in her face because I wouldn't let her complete her sentence.

After closing the door, I sat down and gobbled the dessert right away. I was annoyed by the fact that he was sending this to Logan.

No.

Rather. The fact that I am unable to give Logan what she gives because I do not know how to make something like this.. It makes me upset.
