4 Leaf Clover

Ronan's POV Being the soon to be crowned king is a tough place to be, especially for someone who doesn't want the title, not one bit. I'm a Flaith, or better known as prince.. soon to be king of the werewolves in our area. Years ago my pack of Irish werewolves were forced to migrate to the states because of being hunted so regularly amongst the humans, fae and vampires alike.. Our lives turned into a sport or game for our hides.. even the trophy of royalty wolves heads on a platter are on a bigger bounty than ever before. So my father the king declared we migrate for the survival of our pack the Clew Bay Pack representing the beautiful Ireland area we are from. So we were forced from our home and the lives we all ever knew, to go on the run to a place we had never been.. We ended in a beautiful place with similar weather on occasion and lots of tree cover, it's named Colorado.. We traveled deep into the forested area with only small towns in between but not much more which is perfect for the strength and growth of our pack... so we have been able to thrive on our own in this area, taking over unclaimed territories and naming them as our own and getting bigger and bigger by the year. The main way to grow into bigger packs is to marry our packs together growing bigger and stronger in our area while creating more allies then ever before. So if the humans, fae, or vampires ever try to revolt again, than we will have the help we need this time around. But now the time has come for me to swallow that bullet.. no matter how much I have objected to the marriage and life of being a king.. my father doesn't listen to a word I say because now the stress of keeping the bloodline going is more intense now than ever. Mostly because my older brother Brendan, gave up all titles and left our home and pack all together in search of his mate. He didn't want to have to marry anyone but his mate.. he has always dreamt of the day he would meet her, so when this marriage proposal was forced on him, he drooped everything and left.. we were hoping he would spook being away from all of his friends and family coming right back to us.. but he hasn't and it's been about a month now, so the marriage proposal is now on my shoulders and I couldn't be more pissed. It's not like she is a bad catch or anything.. she is pretty but just not my type at all.. she doesn't have a thought in her pretty little head and absolutely not one thing in common with me so no conversation.. just a whole lot of blank stares and I don't even think I could get hard for her.. I need something more if I was going to try but I'm not.. I could care less about getting married or even finding my mate. Not trying to be a pessimistic but It's been years of searching and nothing so I'm done, I'm 30 now and tired of waiting for someone I will never meet or find.. I would just rather get me some tail from an unknown beauty and send her on her way after I'm done with her... not getting attached or hurt at all. So I'm now publicly making sure everyone in the whole pack castle knows I'm not going to be serious at all about this marriage and not even remotely committing myself like I should.. because I don't want her and I will be as vocal as I can about it until this deal is done. I'm outside enjoying the nice crisp air that calms my lungs as soon as it hits them. I'm panting as I'm bending another one of my random one night stands over the balcony of my room and f*#king her into the morning as her wails and moans wake up everyone in the surrounding area.. Especially one person being my father. I'm going to do what I want and there is nothing that he is going to say about it. So I thrust into her core over and over until she screams my name more.. until I get my release as I pull out vigorously pumping and spraying all over her. I smack her ass making her squeal as I turn and walk away. I don't understand why you have to f*#k every she wolf around when you have a mate out there somewhere. My wolf Cormac argues with me hating the fact that I didn't hold out for my mate.. but that's if she even exists and I'm a man who needs to be able to release his stresses and that's a great way to do so. Be mad all you want pup I need to release my stresses and our mate probably doesn't exist so you need to get over that real quickly. I retort back to him as he huffs and stops talking to me. He is my wolf so of course we are on good terms and ok for now, but this is the only time we really fight is about women I'm sleeping with just for the night. So that's one of the reasons I make sure to just have one night stands because I know if I ever tried at a relationship, with someone that wasn't with my mate, that he would never talk to me again and I love him he is apart of me so I can't have that. He is just as pissed as I am about the marriage demand from our father but for different reasons. So I try to give myself release and give him respect, or as much as I can.. so women never stay the night.. ever. I look over my shoulder instructing. "Grab your things n' leave." In my deep baritone Irish accent of a voice. She looks over at me confused and shocked.. What? Did she not understand me because of my accent? I glare back repeating. "GRAB N' LEAVE!" I roar as she scrambles around the room grabbing her things and abruptly opening the door, running out of my room, past my Beta Roary. My best friend since I was a tot, he's practically kin. "Did ya have to scare the hell out of her Ronan? You know she is half human and terrified of all our kind.. be nice." Roary lectures knowingly to me like he is my babysitter. He walks into my room even with me still buttnaked because he doesn't care. I slam the door behind him as I turn and say, "What yer man find out? I'm 0 to 90 today with my whole schedule full with this stupid feast, training an such." I ask while walking across the room grabbing my boxer briefs. Stepping into those as I grab my basketball shorts and my tight fitting tshirt, not giving a s**t about how I look for this feast or just the day in general. "He heard yer brother is in Colorado as well.. but well across the land.. to the other side actually.. bout 6 hours away on foot... but more than that if we are going in our vehicles. I don't know how many you want to take with us." He answers me as I run my hand through my hair fixing it and my beard with the oils in my hands. "I want us to sneak around not telling anyone.. so just you, me and Sean. I will do this feast today and we will sneak out to make our way there, but only after I have made an appearance.. I do also think we will have to take vehicles just in case.. but we will need to hide them.. stealth is key." I inform him as he nods "OK get a your bags set up in here and I'll be sure to run on by and grab it with so much stealth before we leave. I'll tell Sean to get his things ready as well so we can sneak our s**t out together. Have fun today." He says mockily to me as he salutes me mockingly then turns and leaves my room shutting the door behind him. I hear a banging on the door right after he leaves but before I can even open the door to the room, my father storms in, slamming the door behind him. "So do you just enjoy making me and the whole pack look bad?" I feign shock with him. "You tell me." I say as he storms across the room, over to me and is in my face only centimeters away as his angry aura comes off of him in waves.. but I'm not scared and he knows it. His aura doesn't effect me because I'm an alpha as well. So no intimidation factor here. "Can you tell me why you have to keep making a complete Arse of yerself especially in front of the Family of the Doogans. There family is almost as old and respected as ours.. YOU need to have respect, especially for 'em." He demands in his booming voice that you can even feel it in the floors from the vibrations of his voice. "Do I now? I'm doing what you demanded of me, but I never said I wasn't going to make it difficult on yer dear ol'da. Now let's make sure to have a whale of a time at the feast you're forcing me into." I spat back at him as he retorts back with frustration in his voice, "The formality of marrying packs together has always been the way of our life and how things are.. I tried to give you years to find ya mate but it's not my fault or anyone else's, when you can't seem to find your mate... so you need to get married. The time has come, it's for the best I know it.. She is a good Las and beautiful to boot. It's not so bad getting married to someone you don't know at first, I met yer ma that way and she is the best. Yer goin' way out bout all this so you need to reel it back in." "I'm knackered right now, so how 'bout you ferk off.. then I will yeah." I reply rolling my eyes and pushing past in anger because he knows that means you better get out of my face or I won't do anything for you.. he doesn't argue, just letting me past him. I smirk to myself in victory knowing I won that argument, that doesn't happen often when it comes to him, so I take my victories when I can. I walk out of my room and down the hallway with a strut to my step feeling better about today already with that fun start under my belt. I make it through the hallways of the castle, with everyone bowing in respect, along with the women.. but with them I can smell their arousal for me, which makes me feel taller than life. It's nice knowing I'm wanted and I have women throwing themselves at me whenever I just walk by.. it's just easier that way. What need would I have for a mate anyways when I could have a different partner everyday.. who wants the same partner everyday anyways? I can't even stand my friends that long hence why I have a lot of time to myself if I can get it, for not just my sanity but everyone else's as well.. So most people usually walk on eggshells around me just trying to make me happy which can get annoying, boring and tiring.. I wish not everyone would submit.. to actually give me something to work at or challenge me.. but no this is the price of being a prince. I head to training but who really knows why.. because most men won't even challenge me knowing I will win and make sure I win.. I don't cheat at all I'm just a very tough opponent. I walk over to the training area and my Gamma Sean is training the warriors at the moment, so I decide to join and get some pent up anger out of my system. I strip my shirt off as the girls who are off to the side cheer at my now exposed body, so I flash them my iconic grin that gets every single girl to melt in my arms if I wanted. Not trying to sound too cocky but I know what I am and I'm a prime dime... top notch. I toss my shirt to the side as the girls wrestle over my discarded shirt and I just chuckle at that sight heading over to the guys to train with them. We all throw punches, kneeing and kicks, over and over doing our normal routine for the exercise, cardio.. along with attack and defense moves until it's time to pair off to spar.. but once again no wolves will challenge me except my Gamma and Beta they both know they can give me a run for my money but still they both have never won... they have come close but still haven't won. Sean smirks over at me as we start to circle each other slowly knowing exactly what this entails. Sean breaks the assumption of what he normally will do to start our sparring because he gets impatient.. by kicking up directly towards my face but I block it with my forearm, throwing his leg to the side and around. He takes that momentum of my throw and spins back around with another kick sent straight to my side. I take the kick and groan, kneeing him in the leg then sending him hopping back. I see him throw a punch for my side but I dodge that and knee him in the gut sending him to the ground.. He curls up into the fetal position to block a kick from me on the ground. I quickly hover over to punch but he blocks it and pushes me away then abruptly to the ground with his legs and arms. I jump up to my feet as I watch him jump to his feet just as quickly. He spins, then kicks and almost makes contact with me but I dodge his foot just barely, as I then uppercut straight to his face sending him to the ground to stay for now. Clapping can be heard coming from besides us as we both look in the direction of the sound to see it's Alpha Doogans from the Red Wood pack. "Ronan may we have a talk?" He asks so politely as I nod looking at Sean who is already standing so he bows then continues with training the men. I watch Alpha Doogans turn and start walking for me to follow in tow. "Ronan, I know your not very happy about this arrangement with my daughter.. but I wanted to reassure you that my daughter is a prime breeding wolf with lots of Luna and Queen qualities that could be useful to you and your pack." He reassures as I scoff and retort, "Oh yeah like what?" "She would bore you some very fine young alphas and she is great with kids, to raise them of course but also great in the kitchen." He says to me as if that's what I was looking for anyways. "What if I can't get it up for her to even get little alphas out of her?" I spat back as he looks offended. "My daughter is beautiful and one of a kind." "She is.. but she is just not my type at all.. not what I would go for thanks though." I state as I bow to him and walk away not wanting to keep this conversation going. I head straight into the castle and head back up to my room to get some time away from everyone.. This is why I need my own time so I don't explode. After opening my door my gaze catches the frame of a naked woman that I didn't ask for, laying across my bed. Invading my space and that's not what I wanted at all.. "Get out." I demand trekking across my room starting my shower in the bathroom. I hear her scoff from across the room. "Come on Ro it's me. I just figured I would stop by since we had such a great time the other night.. you know.. it's me... Bethany." She says to me with a strained tone to try to get me to remember her.. but I dont. Seriously who is this one? This is what happens to you, when you let random she wolves into your room.. they just try to show up when they please.. Cormac complains in my head making me cringe at him, I know he is right because this was a possibility when letting stranger women into my personal room so I flip around staring at her. "I didn't ask your name, do not call me Ro and I told you to get out.. I'm being very patient right now so do not make me repeat myself or you won't like the results one bit." I yell as she gets up running out of the room with her clothes in hand. Goddess, people can be so rude sometimes. Can I just get a place to be by myself without someone letting themselves in without my permission? I go to my door and locking it to try to make sure I'm alone to just take a shower. The hot water feels so relaxing to the touch as it pounds on my back so I throw my head back letting it cover my head to my toes.. just trying calm every inch of me, clearing my mind as much as I can right now. Tonight is going to be a bad enough night so I just want to try to prepare for the awful feast and the stealthy escape mission afterwards. I need to find my brother and convince him to come back and marry this girl so I won't have to. My father doesn't care which one of us marry her, just that one of us needs to marry this girl. I wash my hair and beard before every other inch of my body then rinsing it off until I feel relaxed enough to get out of the shower and maybe take a nap since I didn't get a wink of sleep just so I could piss off my father earlier. I flop down on my bed in my towel and letting my eyes slowly close, taking in the relaxation combined with the exhaustion, consuming me into a much needed nap.
