Mated To The Angel Prince

My Mate's Rath

ROWAN'S POV

I wake up to the sound of someone knocking on my door urgently. I wonder who it could be considering the fact that I wasn't expecting anyone, not this early anyway. Unless there is a matter of agency.

I force my yet to fully awake body up, walk to the door only to open it and find my mate standing on the other side smiling up at me. Three other girls in maid's uniform stand behind her. She is wearing make up, a lot of it.

"Can we come in?" She asks in a flirtatious voice, running her long nails down her very short dress that barely hides her a*s.

"Off course." I say trying the best I can not to sound annoyed by her presence.

I move away from the entrance and she motions for the other three to follow her inside. She goes ahead to make herself comfortable on my bed while the other three stand.

"So what's this about?" I ask.

"I brought the witnesses to my little Talia's attack." She says, gesturing at the three girls in maids uniform.

"This early?" I ask.

Does she really even care about her so called little Talia? She seems to be very busy seeking revenge to have time to even go see how the little girl is doing. She is supposed to be doing something to help the girl recover and leave the investigation be to done by someone else.

"I could barely sleep knowing that the monster that almost killed my Talia still breathes." She says sorrowfully, looks up at me with teary eyes.

I don't know why her statement makes me feel guilty. Am I being too unsupportive to my mate? I really hate it that I can't feel our mate bond. Maybe if I did I would crave to be closer to her. She is my mate, I should care about her more than anyone else.

I turn to the three girls and they all smile like puppet dolls.

"You all witnessed the attack?" I ask.

"Yes." They all answer simultaneously.

"Who did it?" I question.

They all look at each other as if they are not sure of the answer.

"Layla win..."One of the maid tries to answer but she is interrupted.

"Layla Stephany!" My mate shouts ahead of the maid. "Sorry they don't know much about her, they only know what happened." She says smiling nervously.

"And what exactly happened?" I ask shifting my attention back to the witnesses.

"We were at the party when we heard a child screaming. We followed the sound to Layla's room . We found the girl laying on Layla's room floor injured badly by wolf craws and Layla was standing over her."

"That doesn't give any evidence that she is the one who did it." I state.

"It happened in her room sir." One of the maids argues.

"She had blood all over her hands and it was her eighteenth birthday. She had shifted." My mate adds.

Did the girl have any blood on her when the guards brought her in? I can't remember. And her clothes were too dull and dirty to notice.

"We were all at the party. How comes you are the only one's who heard the screaming?" I ask.

They all look at each other again in confusion.

"I had them assigned to deliver food and drinks from the kitchen." My mate answers again on their behalf. I nod

"Are you sure that it's this girl who did this?" I ask again. I don't know why I really wish their answer will be a no.That they may have confused her with someone else.

I don't know why I care. Its so unlike me to care or even think about someone who doesn't value others and is too evil to have tried to murder a kid.

I really wonder why she would attack a young child but I don't ask. I would rather the pack council listen to the witnesses and make their judgement themselves. They know the land's law, they will make the right judgement.

"I'll demand a council meeting, you three should be there to tell what happened." I state motioning to them that they are dismissed.

I turn to my mate and I can tell she isn't happy about my decision. But she still fakes a smile. I thought she wanted the case solved and the girl who did it punished?

"Is something else disturbing you?" I inquire.

"Why don't you just let the pack Alpha and Beta make the judgement. It's a small case to involve the whole council." She says walking to where I stand. "And I know you have more urgent things to attend to." She adds in a seductive voice running her long nails over my chest.

Being close to her makes me feel uncomfortable to a point I really start doubting if there is really a mate bond between us. I thought mate bonds were supposed to be like a link between you and your mate making someone never want to be far from the other? Unfortunately when it comes to my mate all I want right now is her to leave my room.

"Off course, deliver my message to your father to take over the case." I agree hoping after she got what she wanted and she will leave.

"You're the best." She says happily as she hugs me and places a kiss on my cheek. "I am going to make your breakfast myself." She states smiling then walks out of the room. I do my best to forge a smile.I really hope it looked genuine. She blows me a kiss and smiles again before closing the door behind her.

I walk back to bed thinking of all possible ways to make myself love her for the sake of our relationship to work.

The sheets smell too much of her unnatural fragrance and its makes me feel sick and going back to sleep becomes impossible. I will have to talk soon to my parents about this. There must seriously be something wrong with me if I can't even love my mate the way she deserves. If I don't change she will always be stuck with a unloving mate.
