Chapter 480 - Trinity - Surprise Before The Dinner Part 2 (VOLUME 3)

Trinity

~~

"So, Trinity, what kind of person is the Fae Queen?" Landon asked me. "I mean, is she a mean Queen or a laid back one like you?"

"Well, I guess that would all depend on the person. She's nice to me, definitely someone that I can be myself with. However, I did see her kill someone the first time that I met her. So, yeah, that's not an easy question to answer." I answered him honestly, and in a cheerful voice; however, it made a lot of people around me pale with fear.

"Haha. She sounds like quite the woman." Trevor joked after he heard what I had to say. "I am glad that she isn't someone weak and insecure.. That just wouldn't make for a good Queen in my opinion."

"She's definitely a good Queen." Valerian jumped in to defend his sister's honor "I can assure, Mr. Jacoby, you and Mr. Clayton will have nothing to worry about. My sister will not disappoint."

"I didn't really think that she would." Landon grimaced at the fact that he was basically reprimanded by a three thousand year old man.

It was a pretty long walk from our room to Aunt Glory's private office, but I had been walking through my castle back home for almost a year now, so I was pretty used to it. As I was thinking about the castle, I thought about all the people that now lived there with us.

All of my guards, aside from Shawn who lived in his massive house with Dietrich, now had a residence in the castle. They still maintained their other homes as well. Dietrich did actually have a place in the High Noble tower, but they didn't stay there often since they lived very close to the castle after all.

My whole family aside from Carter also lived in the castle. They were either in the tower with me or had their own private residence with the others. Landon had moved into his High Noble suite as well. He went back to his pack house every now and then but he spent most of his time at the castle lately anyway. Trevor had moved in as well. His pack encompasses half of the entire country. He said it didn't matter where he lived within that territory as long as his people had access to him. Well, they did, just usually by appointment only.

Juniper and her family, and Cedar and his family; it seemed that everyone close to me was living in the castle. Good thing it was so big. And not to mention, good thing we all got along so well.

I had distracted myself with those thoughts until we were right outside of Aunt Glory's office. There was a guard out there waiting for us, and his eyes went wide with shock then he saw the group of us approaching. There were more than twenty people who had just arrived before him, a good number of them royalty.

"I..I..I will l..l..let the Qu..Quee..Queen know that you're here." He bowed his head a little.

"Not such a good sign." Trevor laughed. "Why is he so skittish?"

"Perhaps he could picture you in your bear form Winnie the Poohing it all up."

"Oh shut up Tigger, at least I don't-."

"Hush." I silenced them and they both stopped immediately. Damn, I really loved that sometimes. It was fun watching them obey me with that sort of compulsion.

"The Queen is ready for you now." The guard was back, this time he was perfectly composed.

"Thank you, Dande." I nodded at him, remembering his name now that I saw his face clearly. I had met him at the last Yule celebration. His family was half pixie and half sprite, and he had a twin sister named Lion. Get it? Dande and Lion, Dandelion. I almost laughed last time, even with it being as cheesy as it was.

The double doors to the office were opened, and we were led into the room. It was larger than usual, being able to accommodate whatever was needed just like the residences.

"Trinity." I walked in ahead of everyone with Reece, Reagan, Rika, Vincent, and Gabriel.

"Aunt Glory, it is so nice to see you." Reece and I had instinctively set the twins down right before we walked into the room and held their hands as they walked beside us.

"Oh, and look how big they've gotten." She was starting to gush over the twins as everyone else walked in behind us. "I have been waiting until I had the chance to see these two beautiful ba-."

Glory stopped short, her words cutting off like she didn't know what to say or do at the moment. She slowly stood up and was looking at the group of guards and council members behind me.

I watched as a massive smile spread across her face. I didn't know what was happening, and I was actually scared by what happened next.

"EEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" That scream was nearly ear piercing, and it soon shifted into something a lot less composed than what it already was.

"Gloriana, what is going on?" Athair mòr ran to his sister's side. He was clearly scared about what was happening.

As Aunt Glory continued to scream, and my guards started to circle us all as if to defend us from an unknown threat. I looked around the room to see if there was an explanation for what was happening.

I saw that one specific person was grinning in a way that he never usually did. It still held the wild look that he always had, but there was something more to it. And he was also not panicking which meant that he knew what was going on.

Slowly, as if he were trying to saunter to gather her attention, he walked to stand in front of her.

"I think that I am very happy that I came here today." Trevor took Aunt Glory's hand and kissed the back of it as Athair mòr looked as if someone had just slapped him across the face.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" He asked Trevor, but the words went unanswered as Aunt Glory squealed happily as she jumped and threw her arms around his neck.

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you."

Aunt Glory was now dangling with her feet kicking out behind her while Trevor wrapped his large arms around her waist.

"I could get used to this." He chuckled as the Queen of the Fae pressed herself against him.

"I guess this makes two, tonight. I think it's fitting, considering that you two are all that's left of the triplets." I grinned as I looked at the confused man and excited woman.

"What are you talking about?" Athair mòr further showed how confused he was.

"They mated, Valerian." Landon clapped a hand to his shoulder, causing all the pieces to click into place for Athair mòr.

"Mated? My sister finally mated?" He was grinning. "We both found our mates."

"What?!"

Glory was shocked by her brother's words and pulled her face out of the curve of Trevor's neck.

"What did you say?" She asked her brother as Trevor lowered her to her feet.

"I mated as well." Athair mòr grinned at her. "Just now, just before we came to see you." He waved a hand, and Daciana walked to his side.

"Valerian!" Glory hugged him next, and Daciana as well. "Finally, Valerian, it finally happened. Oh my goodness, I can't believe that this finally happened to us after so long."

"I know, Glory, I know." He smiled while he hugged his sister tightly.

I was happy for them. They had been waiting for so long, never knowing when or if they would even meet their mates. I know there were just a lot of extenuating circumstances that hadn't been met yet.

It took a little while longer to get things settled, and everyone to take their seats, but we managed to do it. Also, Dande was sent to Aunt Glory's private kitchen since there would be two more joining us for dinner tonight.

I guess that was to be expected. No one wanted to find their mate and then immediately leave. Well, aside from me. That was exactly what I had done. And whenever I mention that new mates should have time together Reece just growls at me and reminds me about that. I've been nice lately, and I haven't reminded him that he didn't want me at that time either, so we were even.
