997 Words
Ramiel As a king,I dreaded most events or balls, if this event wasn’t so important I’d have let my beta come in my place. I was tired of people pretending to like me,or greeting other kings with a smile when deep down,y’all wanted to rip each other’s throats out.I just needed to get this done and over with. I’ve been standing for quite a while making small talk and also making sure that everything goes as planned because I can’t afford to mess things up, I need this alliance badly. I was speaking to the alpha of the crimson pack, I just wanted to see if he was oblivious to the attacks around my borders or if he himself is the master mind. “Alpha Hansel, long time no see.” I grinned.He was so young, I almost doubted he was behind those attacks but you couldn’t trust anyone these days. “Ramiel,how are you doing these days.it feels like we haven’t seen each other in a century”Hansel said “I’m good,I’m sure you’ve heard of the attacks at my border”I asked trying to not sound like I was accusing him. “Indeed,I heard of the attacks at your border and I assure you, I have nothing to do with it but I doubt that you’ve realized this.Why else would the king of ithicana spare me a modicum of attention?” He wrapped one had around his jaw and tilted his head like he was deep in thought then he let out a low chuckle. I had close to 30 packs under my control but unfortunately the crimson pack is under another kingdom, if not I would have smacked the smile out of his idiotic face. “Hmmm… straight to the point. I like this. Since you’ve decided to play the dumb card, I’ll leave you to it”. I knew he wasn’t going to spill anything and I had more important things to do. I turned on my heels, planning on heading back to where my beta stood when the fruity scent wafted through my nose, my heart picked up its pace and my wolf started to claw on my insides, urging me to mark our mate-to claim her as mine.I looked up and my eyes clashed with the most beautiful pair of hazel eyes I’ve ever seen. The day we met at the mall, I made sure my beta made sufficient research and I found out that she was the princess of ivana, my betrothed I was surprised but it isn’t uncommon to have more than one mate at least it’ll make my work easier .Nonetheless, I was relieved because I think I left a pretty good first impression. I started moving to where she stood with her friend and parents. I had once again underestimated the mate bond.The pull was so strong my knees almost wobbled-is it because of the alpha blood running in both our veins? I took in everything that she wore from her red cute toe nails to her perfectly curled hair, she was devastatingly beautiful. I’m sure my eyes had darkened a bit because when I looked back at those hazel eyes she let out a small gasp. I then shifted my attention to her parents “Alpha Roman, Luna daphne, Welcome to the summer solstice ball.” I smiled “Princess crystal, you look lovely as always”.I grinned for some reason I knew this was going to irk her “You don’t look bad yourself.” she said studying me with her gaze. “Do you two know each other?” Her father asked. “Oh…we go way back”. She said looking at me with a mischievous glint in her eye. A surprised look passed across her fathers face but he quickly masked it up “We met at my mall recently, she was sort of stranded.” I said cooly then I noticed her friend standing beside her, I gave her a curt nod and focused my gaze on Crystal. “Please feel free to mingle, I have to check up on some things.” I always loved to have the final say so I left without looking back. Crystal After ravaging me with his gaze, he dismissed us and I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. His presence unnerves me. Juliana and I went to get some drinks and she couldn’t stop talking about the decorations, food and my mate-most especially my mate. She was talking about something then she stopped dead short, eyes locked on figure. I wondered what might have made the ever so bubbly Juliana to keep quiet for a second.I spotted the guy who was already striding to us briskly like he couldn’t wait to get here “MATE”. He said with a growl, and that’s all it took for me to slip away. I walked around taking in every little decor till I had fed my eyes enough for the day, now it was time to feed my stomach. I walked to the snacks table and started munching on a cupcake while closely watching Juliana and her mate, she was giggling at something that he had said, I was happy that she didn’t get to receive a brutal rejection instead. I didn’t notice when someone came to stand beside me, a male with chestnut hair and grey eyes.I figured he was the guy that my mate was speaking with before I arrived. “Do not f**k this up, your mate-Jason is counting on you. After the marriage We’ll see on the 10th of every month.Bring valuable information.” He said and walked away as easily as he came. Stunned was little a word to describe how I felt, I wish I could talk to my wolf about this, maybe I’ll get enough information to help me navigate this s**t that the moon goddess has put me in.
