Two Princes and a Princess

Decisions

Collin POV

Finding out that Lisa ran away from the palace was music to my ears. My father was not happy.  King Odin and him were in a meeting most of that day.  The King had sent out his warriors to find her with no luck.  We decided to go back to our palace in Aberdeen.  

“Since the wedding is off, now I can continue finding my mate.” I said.

“The wedding is still on and you will marry Princess Lisa.” My father growled.

“I don’t want to marry her.”

“This marriage is bigger than you. If we unite kingdoms then we can conquer other kingdoms. We would be able to rule over Scotland.”

“Luke would be a better fit for the job.”

I could tell my father was getting frustrated, so for the remainder of the ride, I stayed silent. My mother hadn’t said a word since we got in the car. She just stared out the window.  We arrived home late in the evening.  I went straight to my room hoping to find my mistress laying in my bed.  When I opened my door, I was surprised and yet excited to see him. 

“Now this is a nice surprise.” I said walking towards my beta Rich. I had locked the door in case someone was to come. He laid naked on my bed. I bent down and kissed him passionately.  

“I missed you,” Rich said.  

“Show me how much,” I said. He pulled me on top of him and rolled until he was on top of me. He began to undress me.  He removed my shirt leaving small kisses on my chest. Then he moved down to unbutton my pants. He slid them down slowly admiring my body.  We enjoyed each other until the early morning.  I love waking up in his arms. Rich was already awake. 

“I never did ask you about meeting Princess Lisa. What was she like?” Rich asked.

“She was nice, not my type, though.” I said.

“Well, what is your type?” He inquires.

“You are my type.”

“What about Sara?” He asks.

“She’s my type too.” I say snuggling closer to Rich.  

I can tell he is jealous of Sara.  He hates when I am with her.  He knows that we have to keep our relationship a secret.  The only reason my parents know is because we were caught kissing in the kitchen. My father was angry and was about to rip Rich’s head off.  I quickly stepped in front of Rich to protect him.  My father was in such a rage that he stormed out the kitchen and destroyed anything that was in his path.

“Let’s stop talking about Sara and focus on us.”

“Is there an us?” He asked.

“Of course, there is an us.  We just had a wonderful night. I like being with you.”

Rich decided to get out of the bed and head to the shower.  I followed and joined him.

We got dressed.  I peeked out the door to make sure that no one was in the hallway, before Rich left my room. He took the service elevator up to my room, and he would take it back down.

“Okay, the hallway is clear.”

“Sneaking around is fun.”

“I’m glad this is amusing to you.”

I kissed Rich goodbye and watched him walk down the hallway.  I was so focused on Rich that I didn’t sense my brother standing behind me. 

“Now don’t you two make a cute couple.” Luke said sarcastically.

I jumped at hearing his voice.  I thought everyone was at breakfast.

“You scared me. I thought everyone was at breakfast.”

“I decided to sleep in, but I see you had a visitor. I’m curious, when you find your fated mate, will it be female or male.” He says laughing.

“Whoever my mate is will be my mate.” I say walking into my room.  

I could hear my brother laughing down the hallway.  I put my shoes on and headed to breakfast.

It has been two weeks, and the Cambridge palace has not found Lisa.  My father has his men searching for her. He received a call from King Odin that Lisa is in Stirling. The wedding is still on and will happen when she comes home.  I go to the pack house and meet with the pack and my father.  He is checking in with the alphas and betas to get a report. He dismisses everyone except me.

“Glad that you could make it.” He growls.

“I was out for a run.”

“When are you going to take your duties seriously?  You will one day rule this pack, and the Cambridge pack.” He says through gritted teeth.

“Marriage again.” I say 

“You are going to marry Lisa.  I have worked out with her father that you two will get to know each other first.  After several dates, you will marry.

“I don’t get any say so whatsoever.”

“You want a say so.  You are sleeping with two people.  Yes, I know you are still seeing him. He has been seen several times leaving the palace.  I know that you are with Sara.  This marriage is to change their opinion and your reputation.”

I couldn’t say anything. I was frozen in my spot as I watched my father walk out the pack house.  I don’t know how long I stood there before I walked out the pack house. I made up my mind. I was going to marry Princess Lisa.
