Return of the Alpha's Daughter

51

My mother and Aerie climbed in the backseat. As Aerie got situated she popped me in the back of the

head when my mother was not looking. “Very funny. Thanks” she said in link. “What” I asked as I tried to

play dumb. It did not work though. Aerie saw right through it.

Two minutes later we pulled into the palace. My mother was right because decorators and caterers

were already there unloading their vans and trailers. Elder Micah and another elder from the council

were there waiting on us. “Oh boy this can’t be good” I said looking at my mother. “You are right about

that. Where is your father, they left before we did.” She asked as I was linking him and the others. “We

are out back setting up the stage and the tents” Zade responded as Marcus opened the door for me.

“Well get out front with my dad. The elders are here for some reason. “ I sent the last link right before

Elder Micah greeted me as I stepped out of the car. “Good morning Dream, I hope you are ready for a

very busy but glorious day” He said as he kissed my cheek and then helped my mother and Aerie out if

the back. As the two of them stepped out, my father and my other three guys came from around back.

“Good morning Micah, did you come to lend a hand in prepping” my father asked as he smiled at my

mother. “Well unfortunately not. It seems that we actually must do Dream’s coronation first. We failed

to think about how outsiders will view this kingdom. Right now they are seeing a kingdom without a

ruler, and a few have made comments about coming for the throne themselves.” Micah warned. Both of

my parents and the two elders looked at me for an answer. “why are you all looking at me for an

answer. I was told all I had to do was show up today and pick out a dress. Everything else is supposed to

be handled.” I reminded them all. “Well Dream, I guess what they want to know is do you mind doing

your coronation first instead of the wedding.” My mother asked me. I could tell she was aggravated by

all of this at the last minute. “I don’t care what order what gets done.. Just so by the end of today it will

be all done,, and I can sleep past four tomorrow morning” I said yawning. “OK Micah, but you have to go

tell all of them about the changes” she explained pointing to the groups of caterers and designers.

Marcus led us inside where all of the palace workers lined both sides of the hallway so that I could meet

them all. The heads of each group stepped forward and introduced their group. I was shocked when I saw

a team of housekeepers as Sarah introduced her team. “I hired them yesterday” my mother linked me. I

was thankful for that because I see the palace looked and smelled amazingly clean. I could tell everyone

of them had been working through the night to ensure everything was ready. “ Well thank all of you. It

looks and smells amazing in here now. I really do appreciate it. Now which ones will be assigned to the

top floors” I asked wanting to know and this way Marcus would know as well and we could get another

security screening on them. “myself and Jillian will be the ones cleaning the top floor, and Becky and

Elizabeth will be responsible for the two floors below your floor, my Queen” Sarah explained. She then

handed me and Marcus a piece of paper. “Here is the list of who will be assigned where. I will update it

as any changes are made.” Sarah explained. After the introductions, Marcus escorted us to the top floor.

Flowers were absolutely everywhere on my floor. There were so many different ones that smelled so

differently. I had to smell each one. “OK Dream, we are going to keep the wedding at the same time,

but we are doing the coronation first, so that gives us about two hours to get ready. Then right after the

wedding it will be Nathan announced as King and his coronation with the reception party after that. “ I

looked over at Aerie and she stuck her tongue out at me.There was a knock on the door. I opened the door to see Marcus standing there with this adorable little girl. Her hair was light brown and nothing but ringlets. “Your mom asked me to bring over Nadia” he said as the little girl looked up at me and smiled. “Here this is yours” she said handing me a beautiful rose.

“Thank you Nadia. Please both of you come in. Marcus you do know you don’t have to knock. The other

guys don’t. They usually just barge in and flop on my bed. Is Nadia yours,” I asked him. I already could

tell that she was. She looked just like him. “Yeah, she is all mine” he answered as my mom popped around

the corner. “Luna Penelope, I brought Nadia as you asked” he said bowing his head as well as Nadia.

“She is so precious. Nadia is going to be yours and Aerie's flower girl." my mother notified us. The little girl giggled in my arms as mom began to play with her. “Please have a seat Marcus. I’m going to take Nadia to be fitted with her gown

before the coronation,, so everything will be ready to go right afterwards.” My mother explained. Nadia

left happily with my mother to go get her gown. Marcus sat in one of those big comfy chairs looking bored so I decided to go keep him company while we waited fory mother and Nadia to return.
