Chosen by Fate, Rejected by the Alpha

Trinity

The moment we were back in the city, I could feel the happiness and glory of being back home. I had missed this place so much. Coming back was like a piece of me sliding back into place, a piece that I didn't even notice was missing until it was back.

When we were driving up the long sloping driveway back toward the house, I was starting to get all giddy. I couldn't wait to be inside my own home again. There really was no place like home.

"Oh, this is lovely." Athair mór smiled. "But, Trinity, my gariníon, you are the Queen to not one but two peoples. You need a castle that is suitable for holding large scale meetings with your people."

"Is there really anything that I could do about that, Athair mór. What could fix this?"

"We can use Fae magic to expand the house that you have now. We can turn it into your very own castle." I saw the look on his face, it was like he could already envision it.

"That's possible?" That would make things a lot better in the long run, and it would be made to our specifications and it would still be our own home.

"Yes, it most certainly is."

We talked a little more about it as we were walking toward the house. Everyone knew we were coming back today so I was sort of expecting them all to be waiting for us. And I was not disappointed. The group of us were led into the house with Waverly and Pierre in the lead. They were checking for anyone or anything that might be out of the ordinary.

The moment we entered the foyer we noticed that Juniper, Paul, Cedar, and Acacia were there along with their children. Gabriel, Vincent and his family were also there to welcome us all home.

Gabriel was in the lead already preparing to bow when we were through the door.

"Welcome home, my Queen, we've been wait-." He stopped mid sentence and mid bow. He was now looking at the group of us like there was something he was searching for.

"Gabriel? Is something the matter?" I asked him with shock filling my voice.

"I smell the most delectable flowers."

There was joy in his eyes, and I thought that something wonderful might be happening. As I thought about this, I turned to look for someone specific. Just as I thought, Roisin was standing stock still like she was frozen in shock.

"Roisin." I called out to her. "Come here please."

Slowly, and with trepidation, Roisin walked toward my side. She was looking straight ahead like she was worried about what she might see there. I took Roisin's hand and led her to the front of the group.

"Roisin, this is Gabriel. Gabriel, I would like you to meet Roisin. She is a Fae who has come back with us. I think she might be someone that you will enjoy getting to know."

"Roisin?" Gabriel was grinning at the woman next to me.

"G..G..Gabriel."

They were staring at each other with love in their eyes. Everyone in the room was looking at them with surprise in their eyes and smiles on their faces.

"That was unexpected. I think we should leave them to get to know each other. Gabriel, come see me later and give me your report." I grinned at him.

"Yes, my Queen." He answered without even taking his eyes off of Roisin.

As we walked further into the room, Juniper ran toward me. Before I knew it her arms were around me, and she was grinning.

"Oh my Goddess, Trinity, I missed you so much. You were gone so long, and the moment you come back, there is another mated pair. You truly are the Goddess Incarnate. Everyone just loves being around you."

"I missed you too, Juniper." I hugged her back and felt the happiness of being home wash over me.

What followed was a welcome home party and lunch that had been prepared by Abigail. The children all seemed to be happy to be back as well. They were all running around happily and playing. I could tell that they had missed being in their own space.

The little party ran for a few hours as we all talked and told them about what had happened while we were gone. Everyone was also very excited to meet Roisin and Athair mór, and Vincent and Gabriel were shocked to find out that Juliet had left us. They were happy to know that she was mated though.

"See what I mean, Trin. Being around you, people just naturally find their mates. It's because you draw people to you, and they have a higher chance of meeting someone new. I am also glad that all the shadow groups are mixing together. The witch and Fae, the Fae and Wolf, and the wolf and witch. It's all so amazing!"

"I know what you mean, Juniper. My wife is truly the most amazing woman that there is in the entire world." Reece was boasting my greatness, and I was smiling happily and embarrassedly.

"Stop blushing, Trinity, they're right." Vincent was smiling at me. "You truly are the best Queen that we could have hoped for."

"Thank you, Vincent. I am glad that you think that way." I grinned at them.

The party ended a little while later, and along with Reece, Noah, and Athair mór, I went to the office to get a full report from Vincent and Gabriel about the time that we were gone. It was a little difficult to get Gabriel to leave Roisin's side, but I managed it after a little bit of prodding.

Gabriel was just going to have to wait for the meeting to be over, and then he could have the entire night with his mate to talk and get to know each other.. Abigail and the other female staff welcomed Roisin and showed her to her room while we went to our meeting.
