Awaited Mate Book 2

His life changed when he learned that he was a werewolf prince, an heir to the werewolf kingdom. As if that wasn't enough, his father had no intentions of becoming a king which meant he had to take over and rule. Before any of that, he was just Logan Leo Morningstar, a carefree guy but now his name alone raises hair in the back of the neck in people. It means power, something that has never been seen before, his presence alone will make every supernatural bow, no matter the species. Even his own mate is scared of him.

She is Amira Aurelia Rodriguez, grew up in a small pack and has never know what peace is. She never wanted a mate after witnessing her father abuse her mother both physically and emotionally. When she meets her mate she wants nothing to do with him because she knows she will never have the power to fight him.

Five years ago...  LOGAN'S POV "Are you sure you're not making a mistake? You love dad and since Sam's mother's death, you've been there for him. Don't make any hush decisions." "Honey, it's true that I love your dad but I also love myself too. I spent a lot of time thinking about this, I want a divorce and I'm sure your dad is going to give it to me. "It was stupid to think he will ever get over his love for your stepmother. Even when we were still staying together, I knew he was still in love with her but I only hoped he would love me the way that he loved her. "I made this decision after the car accident, your dad spent all his nights there until she could regain consciousness and that made me realise that no matter what happens, he wasn't going to stop loving her. "This is not just me setting him free, it's also about me doing everything I've wanted ever since I started my company. I want to expand it and travel the world. "Now that I'll be a single woman again in so many years, I'll have to use this opportunity to do just that. I'll always visit you whenever I have time, that I promise you. The renovations for the castle are almost done and your father is ready to move in. "I will have to go, the house is in your name now so you can do anything you want with it. I know you have your apartment but your father gave it to you and me but we both know I no longer need it so I transferred all the ownership to your name." I never saw this coming. Growing up, I was proud of my parents' love. I knew my family wasn't like your typical family but the only thing I was sure of was my parents' love for each other. I can't believe they are getting a divorce! I was hoping they could work out their problems and reconcile but the damage has already been done. I want to blame my dad and stepmother for it but after hearing the full story about their relationship, I guess if there's someone to blame then that person would be my mother. During her friendship with my stepmother, she knew how much dad loved her and how much she loved him back but still, she never said anything to my dad and decided to fall in love with him instead. That is betrayal if you ask me, they were best friends after all and you always look out for your best friend. I don't know why my mom chose to live a life like this, her marriage to my dad was all a lie since she knew he never loved her. "I know there's nothing I can do to change your mind. I wish you all the best, take care of yourself mom. I love you." "I love you too honey. Take care of your father, he still needs you so don't stay here for too long, move in with him. You also need to get used to being around the castle, it's going to be your new home after all." My new home! The first time I saw the Morningstar castle I was happy to know something about my family history and that it was going to be our home once the renovations were over. I don't know how life is going to be like in Manchester since I've spent my whole life in America. I have visited England a few times of course when I was in Canada. My aunt Elena would take me with her to see her kids in London whenever I visited them. I never thought I would one day move to England and now it is happening. My mom brought her luggage and hugged me before leaving the house and went to her car. She turned to look at the house for a few minutes and then got inside the car and drove away. This has been her home for the past twenty years and I don't think she has ever imagined that one day she would have to leave. Maybe she had thought the only thing that will separate her from this house was her death, nothing else. I guess I'll be all alone in this big house, for now, I can't even go to the office because I promised myself that I will never work on a Sunday. I would have visited Connor, my sister's brother-in-law, but ever since he found his mate, he's been very busy and I can understand that. I used to hate how Aiden behaved around my sister but after learning about werewolves and mates I finally understood where he was coming from. It's been almost a year now since I first shifted and I haven't met my mate yet. Aiden said finding your mate could take longer than you would like but you would meet her eventually. He waited almost seven years before he could meet Sam and fell in love with her right away. I wonder if it's going to be like that with me too. Will I fall for her at first sight or will it take months or years before I can completely fall in love with her? I'm still new to this werewolf world and I'm learning every day. I don't understand how the mate bond works and even though Connor has told me a lot about it I still don't understand. I'm almost twenty and I've never even had a girlfriend before. Before you start laughing at me let me explain why. Growing up, I always saw how my parents loved each other and I wanted to have that. I wasn't going to just date a girl I knew fully well that I have no feelings for. I watched as my peers dated left, right and centre but I never wanted to be like them. I don't even remember having a crush on someone and now that I think about it, I never did. I used to enjoy flirting with Kiera, Sam's best friend but lately, it doesn't feel right. She's still the same Kiera but I've changed. I guess it's my wolf who doesn't like me flirting with her. He doesn't say but I know he hates the idea of seeing me around Kiera. I almost fainted the first time he talked to me. I mean there's nothing normal about hearing someone saying something in your head, something only you can hear. I can also reply to him without people hearing what we are talking about, how cool is that? I was frightened at first but now whenever I'm alone, I talk to him and he also enjoys it. Leo is a bit sarcastic though, that's my wolf. He has a different personality from mine but I guess that's what makes us the best fit. I got disturbed from my own thoughts by my phone when it started ringing. My dad's number flashed on the screen. I think mom has already called him about the divorce. I picked up the call. "Dad?" "We need to talk, come to Manchester immediately." He cut off the call. Is he being serious? He didn't even ask how I was doing and didn't wait to hear my response too. I know he's still devastated after losing his mate, my stepmother but he should at least care about my well being. I guess I won't be spending the night here after all. I went to my room and opened my laptop and bought the flight ticket and luckily there's a plane leaving in an hour. I don't really need to pack anything since most of my clothes are already there so I just went to the bathroom to take a shower and chose simple black pants and a white t-shirt and dark-brown ankle boots. I called an uber and went to the airport.       *********** Whenever I enter the Morningstar castle my wolf becomes hyperactive and his powerful aura increases ten folds. I guess he knows that he belongs here. I spotted my dad near a window on the second floor and went to him. The two maids that my dad hired to take care of my stepmother are still here, I thought he was going to fire them after she died. I don't even know when he moved in, the last time I came here he was still living in the lake house. "You're here, I didn't think you would get here so early. I was expecting you around 6 PM. How are you and how was your flight?" "I'm good dad thank you. My flight was a bit tiring but it was okay, I'm used to it now. I left as soon as you called me, luckily there was one flight ticket left for a flight leaving in an hour so I bought it. You said immediately so I didn't want to keep you waiting." "I forgot how you can be so obedient sometimes. You can join me for breakfast since you're here." He laughed! As in fully laughed which is something I've never seen since my stepmother's death. "You're happy." I found myself saying before I can stop myself. It feels like old times, my dad was always funny and he would tell us jokes all the time. Samantha and I used to call him the cool dad. "Not entirely. I was thinking, you've been looking after my company for so long now and I want to relieve you of the pressure. "I have to say though, your skills when it comes to managing a company are extraordinary and our clients are impressed with you. "I was thinking that they would leave the company because you are not qualified professionally but it turns out I was worrying for nothing. "Your stepmother was right about you, you excel at everything you do, just like your sister." I never knew my stepmother talked to my father about me. What else did she say about me? "She said that?" It seems I can't keep my mouth shut today. "Yeah, we were talking about Samantha. She kept saying that she loves our daughter so much but taking care of the business is something she would never be able to do, unlike you. "She said and I quote, 'Logan is very smart and I know he would never need a college qualification to be able to handle a huge company like mine, unlike Bella.' "She wanted to leave half of her shares to you and half to Samantha. She never got the chance to change her will though." I saw the look he had on his face when he spoke about her. He was still hurting and he missed her. I had no idea about that! No one has ever said anything to me and when I came to visit her she didn't say anything at all. Not even once. I knew my stepmother didn't hate me even though we rarely talked but I never thought she treated me like her own son. To be honest, I never really knew her and I think a lot of people didn't either. I got to know the type of person she really is after my mother told me everything about her and their friendship. She rarely showed her true feelings and usually, when she did, we would think she was faking everything. I wonder what it must have been like for her to live such a life, where people didn't know the real you. "I had no idea. She has no reason to worry though, I'm sure Sam will figure something out and I also have to help you with rebuilding this kingdom." "About that, the reason I called you is to talk about this kingdom's leadership." "What about it? Do we need to find new wolves first? I thought those guys you found around here are part of this pack. What changed?" I hope he is not going to ask me to look for new wolves. I heard there are lots of rogues around here and maybe if I've never had an encounter with them in New York then I wouldn't need to worry. It's not that I'm scared of them, it's just that when you fight rogues, you fight to kill not to defend yourself or survive and I'm still young to have a lot of blood in my hands. Leo enjoys that part but I don't. "Not exactly. We don't need to find new pack members, they'll come finding us anyways. What I wanted to say is that I'm not going to rule this pack, you are and the coronation is in three months." What the f**k?!
