The King's Love

Chapter 5 ~ Charlee

I watched the rest of the fireworks show from the door to the balcony in my office. As upset as I am right now, they made me feel better. The relaxing scent of cinnamon and nutmeg hit my nose instantly, it was lovely, but I didn't know anyone with a scent like that in our pack. I heard a knock on the office door and it opened. My papa’s scent came to my nose along with that strong cinnamon and nutmeg. “Charlotte, do you have a minute to talk?” He asks. I turn around and not only see my papa, but two men are with him. The sweet and calming scent came from one of the men who were standing behind my Papa. I quickly figured out who the scent’s owner was. His hair is platinum white, which matched perfectly with his sun-kissed skin. His body looked as though the Moon Goddess herself created him. His muscles slightly strain the hoodie he is wearing. He is very tall, he is at least a foot taller than me. His face is chiseled like the rest of him. Lastly, his eyes are a pale blue, they reminded me of glaciers.

The other smelled like peppermint and lavender, but it was subtle like everyone else’s scents to me. His skin is a caramel tan, his eyes are like dark chocolate chips. He has choppy, dark brown, close to black hair. He is muscular like the other man, but a few inches shorter. “Charlee, these two are our guests. This is King Greyson and his Beta Felix.” Papa pointed to each man. The one with white hair was Greyson, the other Felix. I had royalty in front of me. Greyson looked at me with wide eyes and I raised an eyebrow confused. “It’s nice to meet you and your Beta, your majesty,” I say, bowing. “It’s nice to see you again Charlotte.” Felix answers for Greyson. “Please, call me Charlee,” I respond with a smile. Greyson clears his throat. “Alpha Hendrick, will you excuse my Beta and me for a moment?” He asks. My papa nods and they leave the room.

The King and his Beta never came back to my office, Papa said they had been driving all day to get here so they must have been tired. I went down to the kitchen to get something to eat since I skipped dinner. When I walked in I saw Greyson in there looking around. “Hello, Your Majesty.” I greeted him. “Hi Charlee and no need for the formalities, call me Greyson.” He responds.

“Okay Greyson,” I say chuckling, “Is there something you’re looking for?” I ask.

“Yea, Felix and I didn’t get here until after your pack dinner and I was looking for something to eat, but I don’t know where anything is at.”

“You’re in luck! I came down here for something to eat as well. I can make you something, what would you like?” I ask, smiling and going to the fridge.

“Grilled Cheese sandwich with ham sounds nice” he answers.

“Wanna help me?” I ask. He nods and goes to the fridge and finds the ham, cheese, and butter. I go to the pantry and get the bread and some chips to go with it. He butters the bread and I cook the sandwiches. We went out to the common area and turned on the Tv, he put on South Park. “I didn’t expect a King to watch something like this.” I point out. “You’d be surprised, little alpha,” he says, biting into his sandwich. As we ate and laughed, I saw a different side of our King that I wasn't expecting. He was so carefree and it was comforting. After we parted to our rooms, I lay on my bed and began to wonder why he was so sweet to me. I will admit when my eyes met his I felt butterflies form in my stomach. I had forgotten why I was upset for a moment and I felt like I had entered another world and Greyson was the only other wolf in it.

The next morning Carissa and I skipped breakfast and went to the mall to go shopping for dresses. As we walked out of the bridal store with our dresses, we ran into Greyson and Felix. “Well good afternoon ladies,” Felix says smirking. Greyson looked at him and shook his head. Carissa and Felix clicked fast and they went off and sat down at a table in the food court to talk. “Hi, Greyson,” I say smiling.

“I see you and your friend went shopping,” He says and points at the dress bag over my arm. I look down and giggle. “Oh yeah, we had to pick up our gowns for The Mate Ball,” I respond looking back at him.

“Well, I’m sure the dress will look stunning on you.” Greyson looks at Felix and he gets up from his chair. He looked back to me, “Save a dance for me?” He asks, smiling. I feel the blood rush to my cheeks as I blush. “Of course Your Majesty,” I respond just as Felix and Carissa come back to us. Greyson and Felix turned and walked away from us, I couldn’t stop smiling.
