Chapter 404

– An Angry King Ella

“Oh, Ella,” Cora sighs, her shoulders slumping as she sees my reaction to her words. She strides over
to me and wraps me in a big hug. “I’m sorry,” she murmurs into my hair, “I shouldn’t have said it like
that.” “No,” I sniff, you’re right – I should have listened – ”

“It’s okay. You didso goodby her,” Cora says, loosening her grip and turning me towards the little girl
asleep in her bed. “She wasn’t going to make it, Ella,” Cora whispers as we look down at the girl. “Not
even a few more days maybe not even through the night. And look at her now.”

Tears are streaming freely down my cheeks now. “She’s perfect,” I murmur, and Cora nods.

“So, you did a good thing,” she sighs, wiping at my tears in her own brusk way, “but we still haveworkto
do. All right?”

“Okay,” I say nodding and looking around the room. “Who’s next?” “A little boy,” she says, looking down
at her clipboard. “Named Philip.” “A sweet little boy!” I gasp, and then I bury my face in my hands and
start crying again, thinking of my own sweet baby – and if he ever got sick – “Ella,” Cora sighs next to
me, and I hear her take a deep steadying breath.

“We are not going to get through this if you keep crying all the time.” “I can’t help it,” I sniff, looking up
at her and wiping again at my tears, which just seem to keep coming. “Do you think…if these kids don’t
have a home, Sinclair will…” “If you go home tonight and ask Sinclair to adopt all these kids,” she says
slowly, raising her eyebrows and shaking her head at me, though unable to keep a smile from starting
on her lips, “he’s gonna flip, Ella.” “But -” ”

Move on, kid!” she laughs, giving me a little push between the shoulder blades to keep me moving.
“Let’s go help Philip!”



“Philip,” I say, taking a deep breath and nodding steadily, trying to put my motherly impulse to save and
keep and raiseallthe children away, though it is very difficult. We don’t have far to go, but as we walk I
take my baby from Conner’s arms, even though I know I’ll have to give him back in about two seconds.

“What do o you think, baby,” I murmur to Rafe, looking down and watching him sleep, warmth crawling
through me and chasing away my sadness as I look down into his perfect little face. ” Should we bring
home about a dozen new orphan siblings for you today? Do you think daddy will be mad?”

Conner drops Cora off first and then drives us back to the palace. To my extreme disappointment, I was
convinced not to bring any children back with me tonight, so it’s just me and Rafe in the car with him.
Conner surprises me by driving around to the back of the palace and pressing a button at the top of the
car, opening a wide black door.

“Oh,” I say, leaning forward curiously. “So thereisa garage…”

Conner laughs a little and confirms my suspicions. As he pulls into a parking spot very close to what I
assume is the entrance, I place a hand on his shoulder. “You did really well today, Conner,” I say softly.
“Thank you, Luna,” he says, flashing me a smile. “You should…” and I hesitate here, not really knowing
what to say. “I should what?” he asks, curious. “Well, I know that you’re part of the military,” say, taking
my hand away and twisting my fingers together anxiously, “and I know that you probably have all sorts
of ambitions there, but…well, if you’d like to be part of my team, even just for now, and help me
continue doing this work, we’d be really happy to have you.”

I smile at him, hoping it’s an offer he’ll consider, and hoping even more that it doesn’t derail his own
plans. “I’ll think about it, Luna,” he says, meeting my eyes with a very genuine smile. “I promise I will.”
And then we both nod at each other and get out of the car, me unstrapping the baby and leaving his car
seat where it is – because he’s just going to need it tomorrow anyway.Books Chapters Are Daily

Conner leads me through the winding halls beneath the palace to an elevator, which we climb into. He
presses a button and swipes a card from his pocket and, when it reaches the second floor, I’m very
surprised to find us in the hallway where my personal rooms are. “Oh,” I say, my eyebrows arching
almost to my hairline. “Well, that’s terribly convenient, isn’t it?” “Only the best for our Queen,” Conner
says, gesturing forward so that I can step out ahead of him. I smile at him and do so, but frown and turn
when he stays in the elevator. “You aren’t coming?” Nah,” he says, smiling at me and shrugging. “I’ve
got to get back to the barracks, Luna. Have to get some rest so that I’m fresh tomorrow.

I roll my eyes at myself – ofcourse. What was I thinking, that he was going to come and hang out with
me and Sinclair? I wave goodbye to him and wish him a good night’s sleep, considering that I’ll just
have to give my own report to Sinclair, even though I figured Conner would handle it.

But still. I can handle that, right? As long as I don’t fall asleep on my feet first. But when I push open the
door to our suite, I can tell already that Sinclair is mad. Frowning, I close the door behind me, looking
towards where he sits at his new desk by the window, already glowering at me with his arms crossed.
“What is it?” I ask, confused.

“Ella,” Sinclair snaps, standing and striding over to me as he gestures to the darkness outside the
window. “You were goneall day- and while I don’t care about that, you didnotanswer your phone the
entire time -”

“My phone,” I say, frowning up at him and passing the baby over to the arms he holds out, silently
asking for him. “I don’t even think I brought it

“Yes,” Sinclair growls, frowning down at me even as he lifts Rafe to his shoulder and begins to lovingly
stroke his back, welcoming him home and giving me a lecture at the same time. ” Irealizedthat you left
your phone behind after panicking for three hours that something had happened to you.”



“Why didn’t you just contact Conner?” “I did!” “Well then what’s the problem?” I ask, exhausted and
crossing my arms over my chest, truly not getting it and honestly maybe too tired to try.

“The problem,” he growls, turning to give Rafe a kiss on the cheek and run his eyes over him, ensuring
that he’s okay – which, of course, he is. “Is that I was hesitant about you even going to the Refugee
Center, let alone staying thereall day- ”

“Well, we didn’t go to the Center all day,” I murmur, turning away from him and heading to our
expansive closet which is basically a second bedroom where we keep all of our stuff in beautiful, neat
little cabinets and racks. “We went to the Wolf Camp almost immediately.” “WHAT!” I turn to glare at my
mate where he stands at the door. “I don’t know why you’re freaking out, Dominic,” I snap, starting to
lose my patience a little bit. “We were totally fine, and -”

“It’s incredibly dangerous in those camps,” Sinclair says, storming forward to loom over me. “I
donotwant you and Rafe there where anything could happen -”

“Too bad,” I say, objecting to the command in his voice and crossing my arms, looking up at him
stubbornly and slowly shaking my head. “Because we’re going back tomorrow. Actually, not back –
we’re going to the Human Camp” And then I see Sinclair’s face turn a shade of red I’ve never seen
before. I blink in surprise, taking a step back as I watch him just get…angrier and angrier. My breath
hitches in my throat – not because I’m actually afraid I know he’d never hurt me – but I’ve just never…
pushed him this far.
