Prince Kurat
The disgust I felt at the sight of the woman who ran the orphanage, and the Alpha was unexplainable . She smelled disgusting , I had never been to this pack before, and I doubt I would be back. Driving through the pack was definitely an eye opener. This Alpha is clearly loving his riches decked out in the best of clothes, yet his pack looks like it's falling down the buildings are in a bad state.
My beast is unsettled I could feel him trying to come forward. I was just thinking of going back to the car when she appeared. She was slightly taller than most she-wolves, her hair as white as snow. It's her eyes that have me staring, she has two different coloured eyes, both green but one an olive and the other almost mint but both bright.
She must have noticed me staring, I have no idea why, but she looked pissed at me. Then I f*****g insulted her, mentally slapping myself when she slapped me across the face. I was so shocked that she had slapped me I just stared at her for a moment. She had no fear in her beautiful eyes; no, she would have ripped my throat out if she could. Telling me to know my place.
Nari, her name was Nari, what a lovely name but the look of shock had me burst out laughing. Slapping me, then making me say sorry, I step back. It is only then I catch the stench of blood, her blood. My beast is almost uncontrollable as I step towards her, I then notice a few small droplets of blood on the ground beside her. Lifting her arm, it takes all of me not to step away as I feel the faint tingles rush up my arm, she felt it too, I saw her take a sharp intake of breath as I noticed four angry looking puncture wounds on her arm. They were fresh, the blood was still dripping from them, my beast wanted blood for this.
“Who did this to her?” I ask with a voice mixed between mine and my beast. After a threat she answers but looks at the fat horrible woman as she talks. Her voice is laced with hatred, I know that tone I have used it, many times. I smirk as I watch the colour drain from the face of the woman at Nari’s words. It is only when a small girl takes Nari’s hand that she moves and drops her arm out of my touch, I almost growled but the sight of the small girl crying has me moving back to my father’s side. I feel confused by my Lycans reaction to her, he never shows any interest in the females I spend time with.
I could feel her hesitance as we got into the car. I need to watch how I talk to her. I know she is feisty, but she is innocent in many ways. Telling her I didn't bite has my beast flashing all kinds of ways to and where to bite her into my head. She sat beside me but squashed herself into the corner as far from me as she could, trying so hard not to touch me.
‘You seem to like this one.’ My father’s voice floats into my head through our link. Giving him a look of warning, he just smirks at me. I watch Nari from the corner of my eye. She looks amazed, as we drive through the border out her pack lands.
‘Father, did you get her file? Has she ever belonged to another pack?’ I don't even look at him, I am stuck watching her as she drifts off to sleep.
‘According to the Alpha she was abandoned as a baby. Why?’ Sighing, I drag my eyes from her.
‘She just looked amazed by the landscape.’ My father just gives me a small smile. It doesn't take long to get back to our pack, I almost feel guilty waking her up, but I do feel lifting her is inappropriate. Giving her a small shake, her eyes fly open, and she looks panicked.
“Hey, it's ok, we have arrived at the castle.” She blinks a few times before gathering her bearings.
“Ok, thank you.” I frowned at her.
“For what?” I can't help but notice how cute she looks when she's just woken up.
“For letting me sleep.” she says as a pink blush creeps up her cheeks, making her look even cuter. I have no idea why, but I didn't want her to go to the servants quarters like the others. I decided to take her to the room next to mine. I mind-link my father and tell him. He turns and gives me a smirk I then link Anna the head maid and tell her to have the room ready with everything I think she might need including some night wear. Knowing it will take Anna a little while to have the room ready, I decided to show Nari around.
“Would you like a tour?” Nari looks at me in shock but nods her head. I feel so confused by my own feelings and reactions to her. My beast definitely is not helping the inner turmoil. I am so lost in my own thoughts; I am caught off guard when she touches my arm. Looking down at her small hand, her porcelain skin against my golden-brown skin. She is so different from the other girls I have ever been with, looking up to her crazy but beautiful eyes.
“Are you ok?” she asks me as I am still staring at her.
“Yes sorry, where would you like to go first?” She smiles but doesn't take her hand off my arm.
“Do you have a library? I love to read; the cook would sneak me books.” I frown at her, sneak, why would someone need to sneak books? Noticing my frown, she removes her hand from my arm, I hold in a growl at the sudden empty feeling at the loss of contact.
“Why would someone have to sneak you books?” She looks down, dropping my gaze.
“Mrs Lightly wouldn't allow us anything like that. Travis, the elder of her sons, burnt them if they found them.” She says with a shrug, still refusing to look me in the eye. I am actually gobsmacked at her answer, I feel like I really need to talk to my father about that pack.
Both our attentions are drawn to the squeaking she-wolf that is approaching us, I can feel my beast getting angry. The she-wolf in question is one of the wolves gifted to me from one of the other packs. She is far too loud for my liking, she seems to think being gifted means we are a couple, well news flash we are not and never will be. Stopping in front of us she looks Nari up and down with a look of disgust.
“And who is this?” she asks in her overly high-pitched nasal voice. Nari turns to look at me with a confused look.
“Nari, this Frah. Frah this is Nari.” She just makes a noise and puts her hand on her hip.
“Excuse us, Frah , we have places to be.” I take Nari’s hand and walk away trying not to give her a chance to say anything. I was trying to stop my beast going back and ripping her throat out for her disrespect towards Nari. Nari squeezes my hand, drawing my attention back to her.
“Are you ok Prince Kurat?” Looking down at her concerned face I stop.
“Yes, sorry I didn't like her disrespect towards you. Come let's go to the library, and it's just Kurat please just call me Kurat.” She nods, I take her hand again and continue to the library.
