Reborn to be Mated to My Brother

I Want Ruelle!

Writer POV

That evening, Ruelle spent the whole time getting ready. According to Emily, there'll be a lot of ladies there. She should be able to make some friends and also, she'll meet some people who would mock her.

Ruelle didn't care because she had been mocked her whole life, as Sera. She wasn't interested in making friends.

She kept on staring at her reflection. She wore a black gown with a lace sleeve. Her chest was half open, but there was a silver necklace that match with her earrings and shoes. Her hair was brushed and left to fall on her shoulder. She didn't like to style her hair, it would still make her look like a child.

Her make up was light, so was her sweet strawberry and pink rose perfume.

There was a knock on the door, before George entered. Ruelle was excited to see George, but as Sera, not the princess. He must be sad, hearing that Sera is dead, but that won't stop him from performing his duty. Since Sera is in the princess' body, she won't go after him.

"Greetings, my princess, the prince is..." He said and froze, captivating by her beauty. Yes! That's what she want. She must be the most beautiful person at the ball.

"You were saying?" Ruelle asked and he snapped back to reality.

"The prince is waiting for your presence"

"Sure, lead the way" Ruelle said and followed George behind. He kept turning to stare at Ruelle. He must be really captivated.

They walked past Arthur's room. Ruelle realised she didn't even see Arthur at the dinning room today. He must be out of the palace.

She ignored him and walked down the stairs, where Kaiser was waiting. He was checking his pocket watch that he didn't realise she got closer. He perceived the strawberry and pink rose scent and raised his head.

"Sorry for being late, shall we leave?" She asked.

"Yes" he replied.

Of course, if anyone is captivated, Kaiser should be an exception. They entered into the carriage and rode off. Emily had suggested that she brought a book to read inside the carriage but, the ride was bit bumpy, making her head ache.

"If you're tired, should we stop?"

"No, I don't want to be a bother. I'll be fine" she replied.

He didn't say anything in response. He just looked outside, balling his fist. He didn't want to stare at Ruelle at all, or he would end up becoming like Kain.

He wondered if it was because of the mating bond that he's attracted to her, but he couldn't tell. He wanted to stop the carriage and slam her on the red couch, but he would be seen as a monster.

"f**k" he groaned.

.

After an hour, they got to the pack. They had to wait till it got to their turn. They stopped in front of the entrance. Kaiser got down and stretched his hand. Ruelle looked at Kaiser and wore a questioning look on her face.

"I'm not wearing a glove, will you be alright with touching my skin?" She asked him.

"It's fine. I'll just wash my hands later" he said. Ruelle frowned and hopped off the carriage herself. She got closer to her brother and leaned forward.

"If you see me as a disgusting fellow, you don't have to touch me" she said and turned away, pouting her lips.

She was too close. He groaned softly. While she leaned forward, her chest rubbed against his dress that he started having naughty thoughts on his head.

"What the hell is wrong with me?"

"Kaiser!"

He heard his name and turned to see Marco. Neon was behind, talking to a lady...more like flirting.

"Hey Marco" Kaiser greeted him, wanting to shake his hand but, Marco wrapped his hand around him. Kaiser felt weird and waited for some seconds, Marco was still glued to him, sniffing his scent.

Kaiser realised and gently pushed him away.

"What are you doing?"

"Sorry, I got carried away. Let's go in" he said and led him in. Neon was left behind, still flirting.

.

Ruelle got into the hall that was filled up. She saw a table filled with champagne. She stretched her hand, wanting to reach for a glass.

"Don't drink alcohol, Ruelle. If you get drunk, I won't watch over you" Kaiser said, standing close to Marco.

"You're not my dad and you can't tell me what to do" Ruelle frowned.

"But, I'm your older brother, Ruelle" he paused and walked closer. He leaned forward, as his lips got close to her left ear. "We're in public, Ruelle. You better respect me. I won't warn you next time, sister..." He turned and walked away.

She frowned and balled her fist. He was having fun while she just sits down, looking like a dressed up doll.

She wanted to taste the clear champagne. She have only tasted wine and it was delicious. She kept biting her lips, wanting to reach for a glass.

Everyone was hanging around, drinking and meeting their mate. Some are even at the corner, smooching.

Emily wasn't with her and George was outside. She sprung up from where she was seated and took a glass of champagne. She looked at the beautiful colour, carefully.

Other men saw her wearing a seductive look, even as the glass touched her lips.

"She's hot!"

"Does she have a mate?"

"I don't think so"

"Let's go to her"

Ruelle could hear them. They were far away, but she could hear them. The champagne wasn't as sweet as the wine, but she enjoyed it. She forced herself to take another glass, disobeying Kaiser's order.

.

While Ruelle was on the ground floor, drinking. Her brother was getting locked up.

"What are you doing, Marco?"

"I heard that if..if two lovers kiss under the half moon, the goddess will grant them a chance of becoming mates"

"Why are you telling me this? Did you bring me to the lobby for this? I'm going to meet my sister, downstairs" he said and shoved Marco aside. He reached for the handle but it was already locked.

"Kaiser! You are aware of my feelings for you, but you chose to ignore me. Why? Do you have someone else in your heart? As long as you don't get a mate, I have a chance, right???" He asked, getting closer to Kaiser. Marco leaned his head on his chest, letting out fake moans.

Kaiser got disgusted and pushed Marco. The keys fell from Marco's tux. Kaiser reached for it and opened the door.

"Kaiser...Kaiser..." He called, repeatedly but he already left. Marco grabbed his chest and slammed his hand on the floor repeatedly.

"I'll make you come back to beg me!" He said.

.

.

Kaiser was angry as he went back to the ground floor. He saw men around Ruelle and got even angrier.

"You look beautiful...*smooch*"

"Awwn, thank you"

"Do you have your mate, *smooch*"

"Uh..." She hesitated.

He grabbed her from the midst of those men and pulled Ruelle into his arm.

"Stay away from my sister!" He growled.

They flinched and left.

"Ah! He's that demon wolf!"

"Who knew that was his sister? I almost end my life!"

"Let's leave!"

He walked Ruelle to the carriage, where George was. Guards weren't allowed in, that's why he had to stay out.

"Prepare the carriage. We're heading back home" he said and entered with Ruelle.

He thought Ruelle was asleep on his shoulder till she raised her head, to touch his face. He flinched and felt something rising.

"Don't touch me!" He beat her hands off. "You're drunk!" He added.

"Are you going to wash your face, because I touched you?" She asked softly.

"Just how many glasses did you drink?" He frowned.

She started counting with her fingers and lost count.

"Maybe fifteen" she started laughing.

"Oh jeez! I'll have to deal with her during this two hours ride" he mumbled.

"You know... Kaiser"

"Don't say a word. If you puke all over my outfit, I'll kill you" he growled, but she didn't look scared. She turned his chin, forcing him to look at her.

"Let's make a deal, Kaiser"

"I said, stop talking!"

"Let's be mates for two years. You'll be 25 in two years and then, you'll be crowned as the next in line. Then, you'll find another mate after we've broken the bond. That way...Kain will not hurt me anymore" the tone of her voice changed, as if she wanted to cry.

Kaiser was dumbfounded, hearing what she said. She was suddenly quiet and he thought she finally slept off.

"Mates? Don't make me laugh..." He rolled his eyes. He suddenly remembered Marco. He also wished to get rid of Marco and the only way is the drunk lady leaning on him who is also his sister.

"We'll need to have father's approval first" he mumbled.

"Good!" She suddenly spoke out and he flinched.

"Aren't you asleep, yet?" He asked.

"I know father will accept. I know he will. I promise not to fall in love with you and I'll do anything you want me to do. That way, we'll have a perfect fake relationship, Kaiser" she was still touching his face. Her hand fell off his face and she started snoring. She's finally asleep, for real. But to confirm... He looked at her face. Her face was red because she was drunk and her lips had healed. She looked fine.

He didn't realise he was getting closer till he pressed his lips on hers.

He suddenly remembered what Kain said to him.

"I can't believe I really did it. I'm a monster..." He turned his face away.

'I didn't get to tell her how beautiful she looked'
