MITSUKI POV Their hired private chopper landed safely on the property of the estate they will be temporarily staying. Marion had arranged the place rented out to them, mainly because this place is near King Killian's territory. And as soon as her feet touched the ground. She felt a strong tug like a whiplash on her body, She felt a little dizzy and nauseous. This must be because she and her mate are near each other. She closed her eyes and swallowed a lump on her throat before looking forward. her body tense and her heart pounding on her chest. She held on to Lana for support. "Zuki are you ok?" Lana asks mind linking worriedly her because the loud sound of the chopper's rotor blade is too noisy for them to hear each other without shouting. "No... I feel a little bit dizzy and nauseous... It must be jet lag." She informed her. "You look pale. You didn't look like this back at the airport. Is something wrong?" She asks. "I don't really know... Maybe because I am near HIM now that I'm feeling like this. I think the mate bond is kicking in!" She stared at her seriously. "I'll be fine. Nothing a little rest, warm bath and good food won't cure." She assured her. She worriedly looked at her but still nodded her head in approval. She smiled at the sight of a young woman running towards them from across the open field where the helipad is located. Her hair dancing furiously with the wind as she tried her hardest to hold the hem of her skirt down from blowing up in her face. Judging from the shrill tone of her face and excitement on her face the is genuinely happy to see her again after such a very long time. She heard her cousin shouting and calling out to her almost breathless. "Zuki! Zuki! I'm so~ glad to see you!" Screaming over and over as her cousin Marion came to her hugging her in the process. She came to secretly meet with them. He wonderful cousin had been her correspondent here in America arranging everything for her stay, from the chopper, the hotel, rental cars and eventually a temporary residence. "I missed you so much! You never visit me..." She told her while pouting her lips playfully showing how hurt she is. "I'm sorry. I've been meaning to do so, but, you know how it is!" She told her consolingly. "Oh I know... I'm just teasing." She looked at my other three companions and started greeting them joyfully. "Oh Lana! How have you been? You are so much prettier than me, how is that so?" she said to her teasingly. "Oh no! You will always be the prettiest!" She quips to her. "Hahaha! You really know how to make my heart full." She said happy to her Lana's response to her teasing. "Oh my God! Souma', Renji why do you look like Asian gods? You are more manly than the last time we've met! Are you mated yet? Oh. I can't wait to show you around to all those nasty bitches bullying me!" She said exasperatingly. The twins grinning at her and hugging her in the process each one circling an arm around her waist. Marion had always been insecure of her weight she always wanted to have a model type slim physique. Instead her once chubbiness in her teenage years turned into very voluptuous curves. Which she hated because she always complain that nothing fits! She has dirty blond hair and baby blue eyes. Her gift is tactical mind manipulation, as same as her mother Queen Adriene. But, once she turns it on she has a problem turning it off! Which always gives her headaches and gets her into trouble with her parents. Because, she always used it to get what she wants and always get away with almost everything - there are times that she gets caught by her family for manipulating others. her wolf Nitta is light grey in color. She is mated to the Beta of their pack Garren. The twins unloaded their luggage and the three bags of cold hard they brought with them. She refused to use her card without the risk of her family tracing her whereabouts. She thought using cash would be the safest option for them to use while staying there. Where do you think she got the money from? Well she is secretly a famous silver-haired singer in Asia. She perform under the pseudonym Moon, her fans believe that she is based in Korea but, the truth is she just teleports there every time she performs or does promotions. She have also gained a lot of fans in the west. Of course her family is clueless of her other mystery persona and that she have e a state of the art recording studio in her residence up in the mountains. Because her family hardly visits her there. She's the one who usually teleports themselves to the palace to meet them. Music was one of the things that helped her get through hard times especially since her first shift. It helped her heal her soul and expressed herself because she is always hidden away. "So... Are you ready to perform at The Claiming Ceremony?" she asks me as we walk towards the house. "Well... I'm quiet nervous. The western crowd is much different than back home. I'm not sure if they are very welcoming." She told her as she shakes her head. "You're a famous singer. Besides they love you here. They will all be cheering once they see you perform!" "Still it doesn't help at all that I know HE will be there and HE might find out that we are mates. I mean I am not fully prepared to meet him yet. Especially, if I decided that I want to reject him. But, I still have no way to break the bond!" Mitsuki told her. She coyly looked at me and said "Oh come on! Why not embrace the bond? He is the Alpha King after all and his one hot mate I must add. Just go and meet him and see for yourself if this breaking the bond plan you have is worth it! I'm very sure once the mate bond kicks in, the mere scent of him will send you in a haze. You can never intervene with fate my dear cousin. You and him are one soul meant to be mated. It's not that I am on his side but, you do know that you play a huge part of him not knowing that you are his mate. You hid it well for five years, you can't blame the man if he got tired of waiting for his mate at which he is clueless that she is half way around the world. Right?" Is she seriously taking that jerk-w***e's side right now? "Oh come on! Are you really my cousin or what? It still doesn't change the fact that he is not patient enough to wait for me - his mate and starts sleeping with a bunch of women." She turned and faced me one more time and seriously catch a hold of my eyes and said. "It is your doing after all. Is it not? You had five years to tell him Zuki... He didn't know remember? Now, you have no choice but to suffer the consequences." She averted her eyes and told her. "The truth is I'm scared... What if I don't want to be with him. I don't want to suffer for the rest of my life and have to live with a jerk like him." Mitsuki grunt at her. "I love you my dear cousin but sometimes I think you over think too much! Trust the Moon Goddess and believe me when I tell you that YOU need HIM. He will be perfect for you. He is strong and powerful, no other wolf is worthy of loving and protecting you. Given your unusual circumstances... Please... I beg you meet him and if you think he really is an asshole then, I will support you on your breaking the bond suicide plan." Marion stares at her seriously. "Argh! Fine. But, I can't give you an answer just yet, if I want him as my mate or not. I need to spend time with him to get to know him better. I want to personally experience being wooed by a man. With that being said I need something to mask my scent as I will be attending the party as Moon the performer, not Zuki your cousin. And I have no plans on telling your family that I am here in America. They definitely will inform my parents for sure! Also, Moon is not participating at The Claiming Ceremony even if she is unmated. She just needs to shake a few hands here and there . I don't have plans of staying for long after my performance. And, you do know that your mind manipulation doesn't work on me right?" She shot a narrowed eye glance at her while she pats on one hand that is clinging on her arm. I have seen her eyes flashing from baby blue to silver since before we started the conversation about Killian minutes ago. She is trying her mind manipulation at her. She averted her eyes as she saw her baby blue eyes return back to normal. "What?" She asks innocently. Her lips eventually curved as she raised both her hands in the air. "Oh fine! You caught me. It doesn't hurt to try you know? Besides, you don't need to worry I already have the masking your scent thing all figured out months ago. Mind if I ask how do you plan on approaching Killian with your to get to know him better if you don't want to go there as Zuki? Does Moon have any part of this plan of yours? " "Well... I'm not denying anything. Since he is unsuspecting of Moon. I might be able to use her to get to know him." I smirked at her. "You little devious girl. Well... Don't play with fire my dear cousin or you'll burn down..." She smiled sheepishly at her. She just smirks at her cousin in return. "I can't wait to see those bitches faces when they see that I have a world class singer grazing my pack. They have been getting on my nerves lately, wishing for me to fail at my party planning. This party needs to be over the top! It should to be the talk of the wolf town for the next coming years! And you my dear cousin will make it happen of course?!" She jumps for joy knowing that her event planning will become successful. She shakes her head at her cousin as they approach nearing the entrance of the house. A full meal awaited them in the dining room as they took their seats before the table. Her cousin had ordered a full course meal for them while they discussed plans for the upcoming performance. The meal served by the chef was very delicious. Different from her usual meals back home which usually consist of fish, vegetables and miso soup. She smiled and gave the chef her compliments. The man's face brightened up and thanked her. Marion was checking her phone when she saw brows furrowed as she bit the tip of her nail. "What's wrong?" She asked her. "Garren is looking for me. He is left at the pack house, father and Aston where called to the palace. Killian wants to personally talk to them about an important matter." "What for?" She inwardly peered. "He didn't say. Kilian must be going to ask them personally about the preparations for The Claiming Ceremony. It's making me anxious now. You know me being in charge of the preparations is stressing me out... There is only three more days left." "Everything is going to go well. Trust yourself!" She encouraged her. She hurriedly stood up and collected her things. "I better leave. Garren needs help managing the pack. He will wonder why I haven't returned home yet. You better rest for today. Tomorrow there will dancers, back up singers, the band and other musical coordinators discussing with you the whole stage production plan. I need your full attention tomorrow. Ok?" Marion gave her a tight hug after she took a drink of her wine served before them by the chef. "I'll walk you out." She escorted her outside to her car. I hugged her once more, she then proceeded to ride and start her car's engine. "Drive safely." She waved at her. "I will. Bye!" She then drove off and out of her sight. It's been a few minutes since Marion had left but, she was still standing outside the driveway. She mentally shook her head as a vision of Killian invaded her thoughts. "Damn mate bond... " She muttered to herself as she walked back into the house. KILLIAN POV Staring outside the tall glass walls of his office. He let himself get lost in his own thoughts. The Claiming Ceremony is three days from now... This ceremony is held every three years for all the unmated wolf in our country. Traditionally it used to be a more barbaric way of taking a mate. But, it was eventually abolished because the shift of power tips the balance. When greedy wolves claims unmated alpha daughters to get the tittle. In recent years, it became a masked ball, It's an opportunity for them to find their mates outside of their packs. The Red Crest House will be hosting this year. One of the largest pack in the country. Their alpha, Asser holds a position in his council. His son Aston is a close friend of his, he is two years younger than him. He will be announced and introduced as the new alpha by his father and will be taking over their pack after the ceremony. He has asked them to personally come today to discuss with them his plans for his chosen mate. Since the day he found out about Mitsuki is the girl he was looking for. He carefully planned his next move. He know for a fact that Alpha Asser is the sister of Queen Adriene the mate of Alpha Lord Gojo. They have a very close relationship. And He needs him to be on his side in convincing the queen and eventually the Japanese wolf King in giving him his daughter, Princess Mitsuki as his chosen mate. He needs to hurry because she has already turned eighteen and before she finds her true mate, he needs to mark and claim her to severe her bond if ever her true mate decided to come along. He is convinced that her true mate can never break his claim on her given that he is a king and his powers are no match for any common wolf. "Argh! I can't wait to hold her in my arms... Feel her warm soft body against mine and inhale her sweet scent." The mere thoughts of her is giving me a hard on. "Me too..." Cassis seconded.
