The alpha king's son

Mum

John POV

It's been a week since the incident with the strange girl in the woods and I've been going to the spot in the forest where we fought, hoping if I could catch her scent anywhere. My wolf has been restless and growling all week. Even for a wolf that wanted to teach her a lesson.

Here I was lying down on my king size bed. It's an antique Tudor 1600s style repro oak h ardwood jacobean. It is light brown coloured with white bed sheets with a white curtains around the bed. I've always thought it to be excessive and to much,ive always loved a normal bed without all the excessive things,but mother the queen always thinks it's befitting for a king.

I remember what I learnt about mates and how they make you feel and how the wolfs behaves,which makes me really worried about my wolf George who haven't spoken to me since the incident in the woods. All he does sometimes is growl and act like a jerk. Always furious with everything.

Didn't realize how long mum has been knocking on my door until I heard her voice from the other side of my door. I got up and opened the door "what's wrong son?,you have been in your room all day and you've drastically changed. Talk to me son" she said checking me up before tilting her neck, turning my neck to her and sitting by my bed. "Stop it mum,am fine am not a kid anymore am 17" I replied her. "Son i am your mother,I will always worry about you especially when you start acting strange and different, no matter how old you are you will always be my baby" I rolled my eyes and huffed.

Mum is always this overprotective and caring when she isn't nagging at me. My mum is from the red rose pack in Louisiana. She was the only child of the beta of the pack.She met my dad in a battle against the rogue king and his alliances which were some parts of the vampires and witches. She saved him from an attack of the rogue king and killed the rogue king. Mum was 25 and dad was 27,they mated and married.

The battle was 22 years ago, although it's been long but it seems like yesterday because they wouldn't stop talking about it. It was also in the battle that I lost my grandfather the former alpha king. "Son are you ok? You have been quiet for 5minute,are you sure you are ok?" Mum asked, shifting me out of my thoughts. I must confess since the incident I've not been myself,I become moody and easily slip into my thoughts,less chatty and been eating less. " Mum,I think I've found my mate" I told her. She made am O shape with her mouth.

"Who is she?,where is she from?,how did you meet her?" She asked me. "Wow,mum a question at a time" I said. It's been long since I've seen mum so curious like a little girl expecting the arrival of her gift. "First of all I don't know her yet, secondly,I don't know where she is from and we met in the woods last week when she attacked me"I said regretting the last part. "She attacked you? How dare she attack the Prince?" "Did she reject you?"she asked. "No mum" I forgot how mum gets when such things come up. "Guards!" Mum shouted.

The guards came running into the room looking alarmed and confused. They bowed to mum,"where were you when my son was attacked?" Mum asked the guards who looked confused and shocked. "My queen,the prince hasn't been out of his room for days now" one of the guards whose name is Tyler replied her. Mum was about to speak when I stopped her and told the guards to excuse us,they bowed their heads in unison and left my room.

I held mum's hand and led her to my bed to sit besides me. "Mum I sneaked out of the castle to get fresh air when it happened"I confessed. "When was that?" Mum asked,"about a week ago"I answered. Mum's face heat up and she began nagging telling me what a good king should do and not do then she left me room. "You stupid human now you've made the queen angry,there goes our chance of meeting our mate soon" George my wolf said. "Now you want to talk you asshole" I replied. I knew my wolf was right,my chance of meeting my mate soon is gone and now I have to worry about what the king would do and say.
