Queen of all Kings

Chapter 31: Reunion

I froze.

Time seemed to stop and tears started to well in the woman's eyes.

It was like I was looking in the mirror. Sure, the woman was older and smaller than I was but the similarity was uncanny.

She walked towards me slowly, and the people behind her seemed to slowly follow her. The older man put a small hand on her back and slightly helped her forward. Black hair and hazel eyes. The facial expressions showed only disbelief.

There was a young man behind the couple that I presumed to be Carson. He and I looked nothing alike. His black hair was a great contrast to my blond hair, his eyes however, did not match the man in front of him, which of course was the King.

Carson stood tall and his legs were long. He looked at me straight in the eyes and his own widened.

"It really is you." He whispered. I had to strain my ears to hear him but I did.

The King aged very well. He barely had any wrinkles but when he did, it graced his face and made him look wiser. His son was an exact replica of him, besides the eyes. No, the King's eyes were like mine and sparkled with excitement. Carson's eyes were like the Queen's, a hazel color.

The King had a narrow face that for his bulky frame perfectly, same with Carson. Although it was obvious that Carson worked out more, typical for a new coming Alpha.

But behind all of them, a small girl, no older than seventeen sneaked through them all to stand in the corner.

Her arms were crossed around her big chest and she was glaring at me with sharp crystal blue eyes. She has curly blond hair that went a little past her shoulders and tan skin. She looked similar to me, but not quiet. So she must be Chrissy.

The Queen was wearing a tight fitted white shirt and blue jeans. The King was wearing a full on suit, and Carson was wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans. Chrissy on the other hand had on a pink crop top and leggings.

Thank goodness that I had changed before we got here into my own clothes. A black crop top, and shorts, cute but simple. Lila was wearing something similar to mine but her's was blue.

Lucas changed into a suit without a tie and same with Grayson. I begged him to at least look a little presentable for my first meeting with my parents.

Suddenly I stand up, remembering my manners and bow to the royal family. "My apologies. My name is Iris."

"Hello, I am Lila, the beta female of the United States."

"I am the beta." Lucas says with a cute nod.

"Hello again," Grayson says from besides me as I still grip is hand with everything I got. "I am the Alpha King of the United States. It's lovely to meet all of you again."

Tears drop down the Queen's face. "I thought I lost you." She trembled slightly and comes closer to me.

She grabs my free hand ripping me away from Grayson and pulls me into a tight hug.

Suddenly something snaps inside of me and an invisible link snaps between us. It's not painful but a tiny pinch is brought with it. It hums between us, warm and strong.

Slowly I wrap my arms around her and put my head in her shoulder, taking a big whiff.

"I knew you were still out there." She whispers into my ears. A smile erupts onto my face. That's when the tears start to fall.

Suddenly I was thankful that I decided not to put on mascara.

We stood there for who knows how long but once she pulls away, she grabs onto my hands and says, "We all need to have a big chat."
