Trinity

Several months have now passed since I was summoned by Danu. We had celebrated Reece's birthday at the beginning of last month and then the second quarterly meeting just a week or so after. It's kind of a shocker right now, really. Reece is twenty-eight, and I am twenty-one. Where did all the time go?

Before I know it the twins will be two years old. We have just over three months until their birthdays will be here again. I had a feeling that Reece was already planning what to get the two of them. He was always so excitable when it came to Reagan and Rika.

Some things that had happened lately, the positive and good things, were that the daycare was fully operational and running smoothly. The schools that we opened in the new city were fully functional as well with lots of students enrolled, all supernaturals, and the teachers were all supernaturals as well.. Oh, and one more good thing that we had  was a bus system for the school, with some buses dedicated to the daycare. If there were kids whose parents were at work when school let out, they would be taken to the daycare by the buses. Oh, and did I mention that the daycare was entirely free for them to use? We used the funds that the pack paid in 'taxes' to the alpha since we didn't need that money for ourselves.

The school was running above state standards and was classified as a public school, but did not allow the 'school of choice' option that a lot of others did. That meant that, as bad as it sounds, we wouldn't get humans in the school. I was hoping to change this in the future, but we needed to have the next generation of our people educated about their histories and not just what the humans taught.

In this school, we taught the histories of the Fae wars, the Vampire wars, the Shifter wars, and the true story behind the Witch Trials. These were things that the kids would never learn from the public school system anywhere else. And these were things that those who were going to help lead my people in the future needed to know.

We also had teachers from these specific species that worked together to teach those history classes. And believe it or not, we were working on building our own university. This would be a way for those that live all around the world to attend a college that was for shifters only.

It was a type of segregation, which was bad, but it was needed at the moment. We needed our children to learn specific subjects, and if a human were to attend and take a class on the intricate histories of the Fae or Shifter Origins or something like that, it would be a little hard to explain to them what it was truly all about. Maybe one day in the future we can reveal ourselves to the humans and remove all the barriers. However, now wasn't the time for that.

Right now, instead of thinking about how to live harmoniously with the humans, I was worried about Aunt Glory and Athair mòr. I didn't know what was going to happen, or when it was going to happen, but I knew that something was coming.

We hadn't been back to the Fae compound since the Yule celebration. We were going back for Yule again this year though. I know that it was a little unfair to the people here since we had gone last year to the Yule celebration, but I just had a feeling that we needed to go this time. Call it the Goddess Incarnate Intuition or whatever you wanted to name it, but I just felt like I needed to be there during the Yule festivities this year.

The rest of the family wasn't going this time. This year it was going to be me, Reece, Reagan, Rika, Lila, and of course my guards, as well as some of the  knights and some council members.  I was definitely going to take Gabriel and Roisin with us too.

The plans were already being put into motion for this all to happen. The council members that were going to be there with us were Trevor, Landon, Nathair, Kayda, Rahim, and Daciana. Dietrich was staying behind this time even though Shawn was going with us. And of course, there were two council members that were already at the Fae compound, Athair mòr and Anastasia Lightly.

Still, part of me didn't think that it was enough. If the fight broke out while we were there I didn't know if we would have enough people there to back us up. I didn't bring these worries up to Reece though; I didn't want him to think that I was being paranoid or something like that.

It was a really stressful time just waiting for it all to fall into place. I didn't even have classes to distract me anymore either. I had graduated and had even taken the MBE or the Multistate Bar Examination. I was officially a lawyer now as well as a Queen, a Goddess Incarnate, and a Mayor. Oh, and when I told Reece I had specialized in business law so that I could be of use to him, he was actually surprised. Dare I say that he nearly cried because I had done something that specifically tied my chosen career with his business empire. I was even given an official position in the company, not that it required me to go to work everyday; but I was officially listed as the legal counsel for Alpha Corp. Oh well, what was one more title to my ever growing list?

I guess that I should get to some of the negatives over the last four months. There was a fire in the row of businesses that Gina and Ella's shop was in so they needed to move. That had actually turned into a partial positive because they moved it over to Trinity Falls and were doing even better. They even had a studio in the castle where they would work on dresses and other Queenly outfits for me to wear.

There were minor disputes with some packs that turned into major issues, and I had to summon eight different packs before me. Six of them were able to resolve their issues; however, in the last case, one of the two Alphas had refused to accept anything but full surrender from his rival. He reminded me too much of Stanley, and I know how that ended up.

If this man was to be left on his own, he could wind up causing just as much of a problem. I didn't want to immediately remove him if he wasn't going to keep up the fight, but I didn't want to leave him as is either. So, I gave him a warning that was stern, and as I was told later, quite terrifying. I also told him that he would be monitored by one of the knights without him knowing it, and if he continued to cause problems then he would be removed from his position and possibly receive other punishments. I will admit that his eyes were filled with terror when I told him all of that.

I had done my job though. I had been the Queen and handled everything that was brought to my attention over the last several months. I had been busy working almost every single day, as had Reece. He may be the King of this whole empire we were growing, but he also had to run his corporation. So a lot of the time, I was doing this job on my own and the twins were spending a lot of time making friends in the daycare or with their grandparents.

Life had to move on regardless of the impending threat, jobs, school, or anything else. And it just so happens that, for me, life was a very big and often a very chaotic and jumbled mess. I didn't know what it was that I was supposed to be doing half of the time and so therefore I was just winging it and doing what I thought was best for my people as a whole. I guess that was truly all I could do. Worry, wait, rule, and repeat. That was what my life was now.
