“I forgive you… Can forgive me?”
“Of course, Queen Luna.” I offered her a polite smile.
Her expression transformed instantly, a warm and brilliant smile illuminating her eyes, and she wrapped her arms around me. Again.
Ugh. Why so many hugs?
My entire body began to tense, but before I realized what was happening, my arms wrapped around her tightly.
“Star, stop this shit right now!”
“It’s the queen of the freaking Wolf Shifters, Bitch! Like, the entire race, you have to hug her back!”
“Starlight…”Hannes growled, and she released me, letting my arms fall to the sides.
“Sorry, mate.”
“Is the split personality situation strange?” Queen Luna asked, stepping back.
“You don’t know the half of it,” I huffed, and the others chuckled.
Looking at me fondly, King Will pulled me into his arms too, and I was honestly surprised. I hugged him back before Star could take over my will and force me again.
I mean, he wasn’t hard on the eyes, so I wasn’t exactly suffering.
The Iron King was like an older version of his son. He had chocolate brown hair, soft sky blue eyes, and a perfectly ripped body that he thankfully passed on to Hannes. So yeah, the king was sizzling hot, to say the least.
He looked handsome in the white button-down shirt and dress pants he wore, but I now knew he wasn’t as young as he seemed.
“Welcome to our home, Natalia,” the queen finally declared. “And call me Luna, everyone does.” She turned to the guards at either side of us, who bore amicable smiles now. “These are my knights.” She gestured to the men on our right. “Leon, Luka, Niklas, Stefan, Hans, Karl.” Then she looked to the left. “Liam, Mika, Jonah, Paul, Maximilian, and Dominik.”
“You can call us Max and Niko,” the last man offered, gesturing to the one right beside him.
“Are you writing this down?”
“Me? Why me?”Star retorted.
“I thought Wolf Shifters were your thing.”
“Oh.”
“Pleasure to meet you all,” I answered, taking the safest route. There was no way in hell I was remembering all those names.
“Let’s go have breakfast, everyone else is waiting for us.” Queen Luna offered, looping her arm through mine and pulling me forward with her like we were best friends now.
“Just give it a day, everyone loves my mom…”Hannes pleaded through his pack link with Star. “You’ll see.”
My eyes narrowed at him over my shoulder while I was dragged away by a queen who after being a bitch, suddenly seemed a little too excited and friendly.
She kind of reminded me of Star.
Hannes chuckled in my mind.
Were all wolf shifters this crazy and lovey-dovey? They seriously needed a talk about personal space.
I kind of preferred the grumpy Beast at this point.
