The Missing Princess

I Want Her No Matter What

Liam's POV

We made our way back down to the living room where Margaret was just getting some of the snacks she had made, put onto the coffee table for all of us to enjoy. My father and I sat down across from Jason and Margaret so that we could start talking about what was going to happen now.

"Alpha Fredrick, may I begin this discussion by asking you and your son a few personal questions?" Jason asked, as if he was trying to make sure we were both trustworthy people in Alex's life.

"Jason, I do not believe that my son would ever want any harm to come to Alex in any way should we find her and bring her back to the pack." My father said, trying to convince Jason that the questions were not needed. Although I was willing to answer any questions that Jason had for me, no matter how personal they were.

"Mr. Stone, I feel like you and I are very well acquainted with each other, and if there is something you want to know about me or my pack, then I am more than willing to tell you just about anything as long as it does not have to do with the integrity of the pack of its security." I stated to help get this discussion moving in the right direction.

"The questions I need to ask have nothing to do with your pack in any way, they are simply to know if you can be trusted." Jason said.

"And who are you to determine if we are or are not to be trusted? It's not like you are royalty by any means." My father said in a frustrated voice, making it known that he didn't like to be interrogated in this manor.

"Father, please calm down. I'm sure there is a very valid reason as to why they need and want to know the answers to the questions they have. I, for one, am willing to do anything to help if it means I can get my mate back." I told my father in a desperate tone, as my wolf and I were eager to get started with the search for our mate.

" There are a few things that we will discuss throughout this conversation which will be considered privileged information and no one outside this room should ever hear. For those reasons, I will clarify a few things and tell you now that I am in fact of royal blood. I am the youngest brother of our late Queen Andrea Montez." Jason stated as my father and I sat there shocked for a few moments and then looked at each other in confusion.

"If you are the late Queen's brother and you are a witch and Margaret is a witch, then how is Alex a werewolf?" I asked the question that has been on my mind for a few years now actually.

"That is a good question, Liam. And I will answer that question, but first I need to know one thing. Will you accept Alex as your mate no matter what her status is? Be it omega or alpha?" Jason asked and immediately I started shaking my head as I answered him with the most enthusiastic 'yes' anyone had ever heard. "Good! Now to answer your question. Alex is mine and Margaret's adopted daughter. Her birth parents are the King and late Queen of the werewolves. We were asked to take her into hiding so that the dragon king could not find her and use her for his own evil plans. Unfortunately, we think that might be too late." Jason said, as he started to look very worried.

"You're telling me that not only is my mate missing but you think she has also been kidn*pped???" I growled out at Jason as my wolf was on the verge of coming forward for a second time today. This is just great! My mate gets taken away from me before I even have the opportunity to make her mine officially.

"Let's also not forget that she is royalty." my father said, trying to get my focus off the k********g.

" Is that what you care about, father? Her status as the royal heir to the werewolves? Well guess what, whether my mate is royalty or not makes no difference to me. She is still my mate and the only woman I want or need in my life. No one else matters but her. And I will give her all of my firsts." I said, not ashamed that I admitted to my father that I am still a virgin. I was also fuming at his assumption that a royal status would matter more to me than the fact that she is in deed missing or should I say kidn*pped.

"Son, please calm down. I was merely stating the facts of the situation. She is in a lot more danger than we originally thought." my father said, trying to calm me down so that I wouldn't actually shift in the middle of the Stone's living room.

Margaret ran upstairs quickly and within 5 minutes she was back, handing me one of Alex's favorite stuffed animals.

" Here, keep this with you while you are here and it should help to keep you calm throughout the rest of this discussion" she said, smiling at me before she went to sit back down next to her husband. I stared at the stuffed white wolf for a moment before bringing it to my nose and inhaling a deep breath of her intoxicating smell that soon helped to relax my body and keep Jaxson from trying to take over again.

"I am sorry for my outburst, I have just been waiting a very long time to confirm that Alex was my mate. I wanted to stay in Australia until after my birthday so that I could get the confirmation, but my father said he needed me to come home so that I could prepare to take over the pack. I actually caught her scent in the airport on the way home, and I thought I was going crazy because she never said anything about the possibility of moving anywhere, especially out of the country." I said as I hung my head down trying to wrap my mind around all of the events that have taken place in the last few months.

"We understand Liam, and we do not hold it against you in any way, as we are also bothered by all of this as well. However, there is more to the story though." Maragret said as she refilled all of the empty drink glasses on the coffee table in front of us. "As you both now know, Alex is not only a royal werewolf, but she is also a member of the royal witch family too. Jason and Andrea's oldest brother, Derrick, is the King of witches and he has helped us as much as he can with protecting our girl."
