Prince Kurat and Nari. Book 1, The Lycan Prince series

Chapter 6

Prince Kurat

I am so confused, leaving her room I am feeling things I have never felt before. I head straight to my own room; I am a mix of emotions that are alien to me. I can still smell her scent very faintly and it has my beast surfacing; he wants to go back through to her room and claim her!

I have five other females to spend time with, I have two Alpha's daughters, one Beta's daughter and two daughters of high-ranking warriors. By tradition they are better suited to the title of Princess. In my mind each time I think of marking someone my beast is flashing snips of Nari; her eyes are unreal.

I decide to have a cold shower then go and look for one of my brothers. After the shower I mind-link to my brother Ratnik,

‘Hey, you about for a chat?’

‘ Hey, you're back. That was quick. Yeah sure am in my private gym.’ Throwing on some sweat pants and a t-shirt, I head down. When I enter his gym, Ratnik is topless throwing punches at a punch-bag, covered in sweat. I can see by the way he is punching he is mega pissed off. I wonder what's upset him, probably our eldest brother Pouli. As brothers we all love each other but Pouli can be a right d**k.

“Hey, dude what's up?” I ask, then watch him frown as he lifts his water for a drink, he's breathing heavily.

Ratnik has worked his way up the ranks and now runs the warriors, he is the best strategist around. He just shakes his head and starts to take the wraps off his hands.

“Just the usual mate, you know how he rubs me up the wrong way with his I'm the oldest bullshit.” I look at my brother. I know this has been an ongoing thing between them. I also know it's going to have to come to a head at some point, and the sooner the better. “Come on, so what is the new girl like? She has to be better than that Frah. She is a nightmare.” We both burst out laughing.

“So, well she is basically a total firecracker mate. We pull up at this orphanage, the place is a real s**t hole! Honestly. So, father and I are standing talking to the Alpha and the horrible woman who runs it, Nari walks out, and my beast goes crazy! So, I am standing just staring at her, she asks who am I looking at and I f*****g insulted her.” Ratnik bursts out laughing.

“Seriously?” He asks, I just shake my head.

“She slapped me!” Ratnik at this point is properly bent over trying to catch his breath. I just wait for him to finish finding me getting slapped, funny. “ Are you finished now, it's driving me crazy. We all know I have had my fair share of girls, but I have no idea how to deal with this.” After a moment he thinks then says.

“You know you're meant to give them all the same amount of time.” I just look at him, I know he's right but none of them hold my attention like Nari.

I hardly slept, I even got up and thought about chapping her door. I ended up just sitting outside her room letting her scent calm my beast. I had left my door ajar from 5am hoping to hear her. I have just finished tying my shoelaces when I hear her unlock her door. I jump up and head to the door, I close my door harder than needed to catch her attention. She spins around; she takes my breath away. She’s wearing the workout clothes I had Anna leave for her.

I find myself frowning at the sight of her, her beautiful body is in figure-hugging leggings and bra top. She looks sexy as hell, but there is too much on display for other males to see. She notices me frowning and looks down at herself. f**k Kurat, think for goddess’ sake.

“You might get cold, give me a moment.” She just looks at me with a raised eyebrow in a ‘what are you talking about’ way. I nip back into my room and slap my hand down my face, mentally kicking myself. I go into my closet and pick up one of my t-shirts, I know it will drown her, but I honestly don't care. The thought of her being covered in my scent has my beast almost purring. When I walk out she just looks at me.

“Are you ok?” I just stretch my hand holding the t-shirt, out to her, she looks at me completely confused by the situation. After what feels like an age, I put my top over her head as if she is a child. She just allows me to, slipping her long arms through the holes. She looks down at herself, then up to look me in the eye with a cute smirk on her face.

“Ok Prince Kurat, do you mind telling me what this is all about?” as she gestures to herself.

“It’s Kurat, just Kurat. I thought you might get a cold.” As I am looking at Nari, I am trying really hard not to burst out laughing. She looks like she has a dress on, she’s smiling as she nods.

“Ok, Kurat shall we go to training then.”

Walking down to training with Nari, I can see how some of the males are openly checking her out. Without realising it, I am growling at every male that looks in her direction. She looks so damn cute in my t-shirt, as we reach the training ground it is buzzing with activity. Frah notices us as soon as we enter, I watch her expression change as she looks at Nari. She comes marching over to us, looking as though her head is going to explode. Looking Nari up and down she spins to me.

“ And why is she in your clothes?” I feel my beast surging forward not appreciating her disrespect. Before I get the chance, Nari answers her.

“He thought I might get a cold, why does any of this have anything to do with you?” I try so hard not to laugh as Nari slips her hand around my elbow as she guides us away. “Kurat, will you spar with me today?” I just look down at her with my left eyebrow raised as I look at her tiny pale hand on my thick golden-brown bicep. She mouths ‘sorry’ and goes to let go of my arm. My beast has other ideas and gives her a small growl, so she leaves it where it is until we reach the other side of the grounds.

“I am so sorry, she rubs me up the wrong way. I have a confession; I have never trained before.” Finally releasing her hand, I just smile down at her as a pink blush creeps up her cheeks.

“Really!” she just shakes her head. “That's fine, we can work through some stretches then figure out a routine together. Do you want to?” She just nods,

“That would be great, I have a feeling my life won't be easy here.” My beast can't make up his mind. He is half purring and half growling for the next hour as Nari, and I work together. I notice how people stop and watch us. I also notice how Frah is looking at Nari. I need to keep an eye on her because she is going to be trouble.

Typical Alpha’s daughter, spoiled brat. Nari is a fast learner and even though I know she's tired she never complains or stops. I can't help but admire Nari, she is tall and slim with a more athletic figure. How the tip of her tongue sticks out just a tiny bit when she is concentrating on something is cute.

Nari stops and bows her head as my brother's scent hits me. I don't know why but her submitting to anyone makes me angry. I step forward and with my right index finger I lift her chin and then cross my arms over my chest. She looks confused. I just shake my head.

“Never submit to anyone except me.” She just looks at me with wide eyes as Ratniks’ voice pops into my head.

‘Ah brother, she is kinda cute. I can see your obsession with her.’ I feel myself growl and almost slap myself as Nari has a scared look on her face as she takes a step back. I hear my brother laugh from behind me.

“Brother, what have you done to the poor girl? Why is she wearing your top?” I spin on my brother, with a don't bother look but he just smirks, prick. The sound of Nari’s sweet voice comes through my anger.

“He thought I might get a cold.” I find myself smiling at her, she's so damn cute. My brother just chuckles before we are interrupted by Frah and her posy, this girl is getting on my nerves.

“Kurat, can you spar with me?” She asks in a sickly-sweet voice while batting her lashes at me. My beast is growling.

“It’s Prince Kurat, and no I can’t! Nari and I are leaving for breakfast.” The death stare she shoots at Nari has me stepping between them and taking Nari’s hand ready to leave.

“Nice to meet you Lady Nari.” My brother says while slightly nodding . The noise that rips from Frah, has me stopping and looking at her with a questioning look.

“She isn’t a Lady! Look at her.” Frah’s reply has me spin on her as my beast audibly growls.

“Being a Lady is not a title, but an endearment of one's character.” Towering over the she-wolf, I get a sense of satisfaction seeing her trembling as my aura surges. Grabbing Nari’s hand, I almost drag her a bit too hard, and she just whispers.

“Prince Kurat, you're hurting me.” I instantly stop and look down at her, releasing her hand.

“What did I tell you about calling me Kurat?”
