The Alpha King's Foreign Luna

Chapter 5

MITSUKI

A gush of wind blew passed them sending dust and small gravel of stones hitting them in the face.

The twins jumped behind them coming from behind the trees sending a gush of wind with them.

They looked in her direction and started bombarding her with questions about Killian through mind link.

"Are you ok oneesama?" Souma asked.

"Who is this man? His aura is definitely very strong so is his wolf. Why are you with him?" Ren followed.

"Did he hurt you? Please stand behind us. We will deal with him!" Souma says.

"Wait! No! He is only lost, he is a guest at the banquet," She told them.

This can't be happening. Are these guys serious? They don't mean to hurt her mate right?

"We cannot be so sure, He might just be pretending. He looks suspicious, What does he want? He would not approach you if he doesn't have any ulterior motive! He must have known you are the princess." Ren said to her furiously.

"Stay away from him. Let us deal with this..."

"He is strong brother. It will be difficult to fight him here in the palace. But, we cannot let him come near her!" Souma said equally mad.

She felt both of them releasing their aura sending a warning to Killian. Their trying to intimidate him. But, Killian did not even falter, not a speck of fear in him. Neither one of them is moving they have been carefully checking each others movement which in turn is trapping them in a stale mate. It's a standoff between three strong fighters in which a single stroke will decide the match. They are waiting diligently for the moment they can pounce on their opponent.

Staring, sizing one another and cautious of every little movement.

Suddenly Killian releases a much stronger aura, making the wind swirl furiously around him.

That caught the twins off guard. But, they did not show any sign of fear. She heard them mind link each other. Calculating and planning their attack once Killian made his move.

Tension is gradually building up between them. Neither any of them wants to back down. Killian with his honor and the twins with their sworn duty to protect me.

From behind Killian two huge muscular men appeared, approaching them from the same direction Killian came. Their body form changed instantly when they sense Killian's strong aura emitting around him. They approached him with caution while him asking questions.

The new intruders just stood there staring at the twins. Killian must be mind linking them.

The two men stood silently behind him not leaving.

Lana was the one who broke the tension. Furiously telling the twins that Killian is a prince, and dealing with violence will create a huge problem for her father.

The twins hesitated their pride on the line. Weighting the consequences of their actions. Realizing their mistakes, they finally decided to ease down. She can see that they are not ready to own on their mistakes. She mind linked them ordering them to apologize.

"Both of you. Apologize now!" She ordered.

Heads bowing low, both apologized to Killian. She was glad they did not hesitated on her request for an apology.

But, Killian on the other hand did not care for an apology.

She was shocked. How could he not accept their sincere apology? Is he that mad? Their clan cannot afford a war with them.

Especially, now that she found out that he is her mate! She doesn't want a Romeo and Juliet type of romance. She could not let that happen. She have to do something! She ponder carefully on what she have to do. Apologizing on their behalf is the only thing she could think of at the moment.

She have to soothe his anger. As his mate she is hoping that somehow he will hear her out. She hopes her sincerest apology on behalf of the twins reaches him.

She mustered her courage and stepped forward. Bowed her head deep as a sign of respect and apologized.

"I would like to give my sincerest apologies on behalf of my people. I hope you would not take this upon our country. They did not mean to insult you. They are just doing their job in protecting me. Do find it in your heart to forgive them...This is all a misunderstanding your Majesty."

She sigh in relief as Killian accepted her apology. She hoped he felt the mate bond between them even for a tiny bit. He calmed down, a relax expression registered on his face and gave her a small reassuring smile. She could stare at this handsome him all day and not bore.

Taking advantage of his calmed expression Lana bid their farewell for them quickly gathered her pulling her to leave the garden. The mate bond is making it hard for her to leave him. She feel like she doesn't want to go back to her quarters. She opened her mouth and tried to say something but, she could not muster enough courage to tell him: "Let's meet again..." Lana started tugging and pulling her away out of the garden.

She felt void. Like a part of her is being taken away. She wants to be with him, But, she is also scared of him. She is scared to face her reality with him. Will he accept her has he known she is his little mate? Can a grown man accept a thirteen year old girl? Or will he reject her here and then? She is sure he has been with a lot of women. Much older than her, and that made her insecure. She wish they were the same age... She want to cry because she know that soon he will be departing her country. Did she leave an impression on him or will he forget her? Will he eventually realize she is his mate or will he claim another woman as his, thinking that she does not exist? her head aches as she pondered on a lot questions she have no answers to.

We met, but not yet meant to be... She closed her eyes in regret as she felt a few tears trickle down her cheeks tasting their saltiness She dry them hastily away before anyone can see them...

She pray to the Goddesses' that they hear her make him wait for her. . .

KILLIAN POV

No! She can't leave... He feel like he need her. He still want her near me. There is a slight ache in his chest seeing her walk away. Her eyes looked very sad. Is she feeling the same way?

Will she want him, seeing as she is very young? He doesn't want to steal her future away from her, no matter the selfish urge of wanting to keep her by his side. Her life will waste away with him. Because, he knows that when the time comes and he found his mate she will be nothing to him. All these feelings he have for her will only become a distant memory. If he prays hard enough, will the Moon Goddess give her to him as his mate?

"Please stay..." He whispered to himself.

He watched as four retreating figures leave. A part of his soul wanted to stop her. Yet, he couldn't. he does not hold the right to do so.

He saw the twins bowing again before following the two as they head out on the other side of the garden. And out of their sight.

"Her name! You forgot her name! We have to know... " Cassis shouted at him.

"Oh! s**t!" He shouted. He was too preoccupied with his own thoughts that he forgot all about it!

"Leon!" he called out his bodyguard.

"Yes your majesty?" Leon answered and stepped forward to him.

"Find out every information you can gather on the young girl. She must be one of the guests invited at the party. I want anything you can find out. Same as her companions, the red headed girl, I think her name is Lana and those two Ying Yang twins! " He ordered them. He needs to get his hands on any information about her. Because tomorrow he need to leave for his country leaving her behind.

"Yes, as you ordered your majesty!" He replied.

He glanced once more into the direction they went and sadly smiled to himself.

"I will see you again I promise you that... Because those golden eyes will haunt me for the rest of my life..."

he stood there for a couple of minutes unmoving. A part of him wants to go and follow the direction she went to. It feels like he can't just leave everything hanging like this... His own feelings are confusing him. He was about to take a step forward when he heard his father mind linking him. Asking him to join him back at the banquet hall. He had slight hesitation in going back but decided to leave otherwise. He cannot anger his father any further. He needs to take this opportunity to collect his thoughts...

"Let's go! The King is waiting for me. he is calling me back to the party." I told them. I straightened my suit and turned my heel away back into the banquet hall.
