Chapter 17: Meeting Ivory Part 1
***Jane**
“Welcome to River Moon,” Aurora smiles, her golden eyes scanning us.
“You must be Talia,” she asks, sticking her hand out to my mate.
Talia stares blankly at Aurora’s outstretched hand, her heart beating wildly in her chest before she reluctantly shakes it.
“Nice to meet you,” Tali mutters, her voice clipped as she adjusts Kota in her arms.
“This is my son, Dakota.” Kota sticks his thumb in his mouth and waves with his other hand, Aurora waving at him.
Talia then points over to Agnes and I.
“That’s Zane and Agnes.Zane is…my mate,” she adds bitterly.
“And Agnes is his mother.She is deaf and they are both mute.”
Aurora’s eyes sweep over to Agnes and I as she waves a hello.
Agnes shyly replies with a sign before hiding behind me and lowering her head, shaking like a leaf.I would have to ask her why she is so nervous later.
“She says ‘nice to meet you’,” Talia translates.
Aurora’s smile brightens but seeing Agnes’s reaction, she simply turns to the three men behind her, introducing them as Alpha Wesley of the Cerulean Sea Pack and his beta Chris, as well as Alpha Javier of “Gentlemen, we can continue this discussion tomorrow,” she says over her shoulder.
“Dismissed.”
My eyes widen in shock when she flicks her wrist and two large portals appear, the three men nodding at the little Queen before vanishing into the portals.I take a good look at Queen Aurora, drinking in her beauty and undeniable strength.
She was a small woman like Agnes, standing at just five feet tall with long white hair draped across her shoulders and dazzling pools of honey swirling in her eyes.
Her tan skin is decorated with tattoos on her wrists and palms.I had heard stories of the Ivory Twins from my mother but never thought I’d come face to face with one of the pair.
Her eyes hold a gentle kindness and she steps forward, reaching out a hand to greet me.
Talia and Agnes each grab onto my arms, both seeking comfort from me in the presence of such a powerful being.
Aurora’s smile falters a little at seeing their fear and she steps back in respect.
“There’s no need to fear me,” she says quietly.
“I-l won’t hurt you.” l open my mouth to thank her for receiving us but my words seem to choke me and I end up coughing instead.
Say something you i***t, Grayson mutters.A royal is speaking to you.
What do you want me to say? I ask, my mouth feeling as though it were full of sand sarcasm.
What do you mean ‘what dolsay’? Hesnaps.
Introduce yourself, dumbass! Aurora suddenly bursts into laughter, my cheeks flushing at what she could have possibly thought was funny.
“Your wolfis funny” her soft voice whispers in my head.My eyes nearly pop out of my skull as I stare at the Queen, wondering if I had accidentally let down my walls and invaded her mind.
“Sorry for the intrusion.I’m a telepath ;” she replies sheepishly before I can make sense of what is happening.
“And it appears you are too…” I wouldn’t callus telepaths —, Grayson mumbles and I quickly block him out before he can embarrass me any further.
“lf apologize if i’m overstepping my boundaries, “ Aurora sighs.
“You just seemed like you wanted to say something but were perhaps too afraid?’ I press my lips together and shake my head at her.”
M-my voice was it just doesn’t work, “I reply, avoiding her gaze to hide my shame.There’s a sudden pinch at my temples and a silence fills my head before Aurora lets out a sharp gasp, stepping back to support herself on her desk.Tears line her eyes when our eyes meet and the look on her face tells me she’s seen my life flash before her.Desperate to keep whatever dignity I have left” I shake my head at
“Please don’t tell, I beg her, not wanting Talia to know just what a pathetic low-life she got for a mate.”
