I feel him kneel in front of me then the feel of his hand on my cheek turns me breathless as I lean my face into his rough and callused hand. It's so warm and comforting. I never thought my mates touch could feel this way. "Please my most beautiful mate in the world. I beg for your name." My body tenses as his voice comes into my head for the first time. His voice brings me so much comfort I could burst. The accent has me weak for him. And the deep huskiness in his voice only weakens me further. When I feel him wipe tears from my face I realise I've started to cry. But I panic when I feel his hand leave my cheek and my body goes unbearably cold. I quickly grab his hand and bring it back to my cheek then gently place my own hand onto his cheek and feel him lean into my touch as well. "Kalista." I tell him as I lose control of my crying knowing now that I'll never feel alone again. I can't stop smiling like a simpleton with how happy I am to know I'm not alone and I never will be again. "You were never alone you silly girl!" Nyla shouts in my head. "I'm sorry Nyla I'm just so happy we have our mate." I tell her full of pride. "You know what would make this even better?" Nyla askes. "What?" I say excited. "If I knew my mates name too!" she shouts. "Oh please forgive me but my wolf won't stop begging for your wolfs name." I tell him through our link trying to hide my embarrassment. "Ryker." He says immediately. "And please he is dying to know your wolfs name as well." He says in his adorable accent. "Her name is Nyla." I tell him softly. Nyla sighs contently in my head knowing her mates name at long last. "My lady the king has asked me to fetch you and your mate." Misenti links me. "Knock and then enter and tell him." I tell her breathlessly. When I feel the knock I turn to face the door and then she links me "By the goddess hes taller than your father!" I stiffle a giggle. "Oh he is not Misenti." I tell her in a disbelieving tone. "My lady I would never joke about this. Your mate is taller than the king by 3 inches atleast if not more!" shes says astonished. I smile and take his had to lead him to my fathers office.

King Royers pov

Watching my daughter run into my palace with that unworthy wolf makes my blood boil. It wasn't until someone cleared his throat did I notice the king of centaurs and his worriors standing there seeming to have witnessed that entire farce unfold. "Damn it!" I thought to myself and I regained my composure. "Good morning king Thiumas." I greet him smiling half heartedly. "Do forgive that family squabble please." He looks at me with an eye brow raised then laughs his deep laugh I've heard many times before. He holds out his hand and I shake it feeling relieved. "It is no problem at all king Royer." He says smiling. I invite him in and tell him I'll speak with him as soon as he and his men are settled. I take my mates hand and we walk with the centaurs into the palace. "I will fix this my love." I tell her before kissing her forehead and calling for my daughters maid. "Send them to my office." I tell her through gritted teeth. Before going to my office to wait for them.

Walking hand in hand with Deluka toward my fathers office made me feel like we were dead people walking. The last time I was called here I was 10 and had just put gum in my sisters hair because she drew on my face one night when i accidentally fell asleep on the couch. I would be stupid not to be afraid. While I am the eldest and the crown is mine by birth right my father could very easily pass me over and give the ruling title to my brother or sister. "I feel your nerves through the bond Kalista. And your hand is shaking so hard in mine. Please talk to me." He says with worry in his voice. I squeeze his hand tight and tell him "Earlier in the courtyard my father threatened to pass me over and give the crown to my younger brother or sister." I say sadly. Delukas entire body vibrated and I assumed he couldnt stop his wolf from growling. "He can't do that! The throne is yours by birth right!" He growls out through our link. "Calm your wolf we are at my fathers office. We must stick together and prove our worth to him here and now." I tell him in a strong tone. This is the old me. The reasonable me that I was before I met Deluka and became such an emotional she wolf. This is the me I trained my entire life to be. And now I will show my mate the real me. And fight for him so my father knows I'm capable of having my mate and running the kingdom too.

Delukas pov

Walking with kalistas hand in mine I cant help but be full of pride knowing my mates strength. But she doesn't seem to feel strong as she leads me to her fathers office. I feel her worry through our bond and her hand is shaking like a leaf on a tree on a ridiculously windy day. "I feel your nerves through the bond kalista. And your hand is shaking so hard in mine. Please talk to me." I say doing nothing to hide my concern for her. She squeezes my hand and tells me through our link "Earlier in the courtyard my father threatened to pass me over and give the crown to my younger brother or sister." she says sadly. The growl that ripped through me from Ryker was almost painful and my anger matched his own. "He can't do that! The throne is yours by birth right!" I growl out through our link. "Calm your wolf. We are at my fathers office. We must stick together and prove our worth to him here and now." She says in a strong tone. Id never heard her speak that way. Her calmness was almost uncaring and bothered me greatly. But she was right. I pushed my bothered feelings to the back of my head and put a composed look on my face. "Our mate is strong Deluka. Support her do not fear her." Ryker said in my head. She put her hand on the door knob and I braced myself for what was to come.
