Rowan.
The early morning came and Jeremy was still in my bed, there has never been a mate pull between us, but we melt into each other arms effortlessly, his bratty and seductive kind brings good comfort to me as he warms my bed, l hate when things go out of my control until the mid-evening l avoided every path that will lead to me meeting my parent face to face, Jeremy served me everything I needed, including taming him in return.
A few hours left before we leave for the Lock heart pack, defending my royal home is nothing to me, l only hope my father doesn't trigger a fight, when l become the king I'm sure to avoid events like this In the future.
"Do you want me to go with you to keep you company? I heard it's cold and breezy over there in the central, "Jeremy warble seductively and l fiddle his stray hair backwards patting on his head.
" You don't need to go with me."
"You are going to be there for a few days, l just thought it would be a good idea." He said pouting cutely, l stared at him enticingly, it is not a good idea to go with him, it might get dangerous, l should go ahead and have dosages that will last for a few more days. I went on brushing his lips, his puffy plum delicious tasting mouth, l surged out to lay on top of him but a knock came at the door, and the maid requested an audience.
" What is it?"
"Your Father asked you to get ready, everyone is set to move out in forty minutes."
" mmm
I stood up as l heard the retreating footsteps of the maid, this is supposed to be a good time for me, no one interrupts rudely when am invested or busy, l can only blame father, l would always make sure the aisle to my room is guard and maid free except when needed, father is just a creaky nosy person without boundary, Tsk!
I stood still as Jeremy came wrapping his hands around my waist, l know it was a sign that he wants me to continue from where we stopped, the bitterness of my father's continuous pressure switched the atmosphere alternatively.
"You should leave Jeremy, l need to get ready."
" As you wish, Rowan."
I gazed in a ravishing manner at his alluring waist, as he walked out of my room, l went ahead to the bathroom, got dressed in my regular black regalia, got downstairs and my parents are already bickering softly at each other, it is a good thing l'm riding in a different car.
"Rowan, don't cause trouble for me over there, be on your best behaviour." father warned.
" As you wish, "l answered sternly at him for always thinking the least of me, l don't have any muddle with the werewolves, why would someone like me think about how to behave amid my subordinates, what rubbish! What does he really think of me? None of them can babble pointlessly in front of me.
I don't know how many years I'll have to wait without finding my mate. I hope to find one. I hope we have the same interests and equal points of view.
We arrived at a distance of 120km, and the echoes and shattering from the jubilation ground is faintly loud, the air is filled with undulate scents, we stormed in gracefully as we are known and heard for, they whimper and frightened chills coming from them makes it all worth it to be superior, their terrified gaze glimmering at me makes it rather hubris and self-conceited.
The incantation went on successfully, my eyes wandered around gently, faintly scent has been on my nose since I got down from the car, as if l saw the brightest star in the sky, l saw him, I couldn't take my eyes off him because I thought he might disappear if l blink an eye, l felt my being melting at his body language, his black wavy hair lengthy on his shoulder level, his blue eyes that shade the same colour as mine, the moon light shining as a glow reflection.
Who is he? Mate? I laughed nervously to myself, what is this? Fate is not playing a trick on me, is it? There is no way the universe would want me to have a werewolf as a mate? My lifetime mate? I rested my gaze lustfully on the most perfect being I have ever set my eyes on, he is so beautiful, my heart pinched painfully when he excused his eyes from me, why did he stop looking at me? Does he feel what I am feeling too?
Within a short period, l was able to suss out his scent, the most delicious scent of jasmine, my body began to react to this rare sight, l want him, he is the one l have been waiting for all my life, my sense heighten simultaneously, l felt completed and alive for the first time, a stronger capability overwhelm me, l swallowed hard, my heart began to beat eerily faster than the usual, he is my mate, he is mine.
My coming here was carefully planned, never thought I'd find my mate among the werewolf Pack, why didn't l search earlier, maybe we will already be together, he will be beside me as my lifetime fated one, sadly if l pass away he can get a second chance mate, that is what their kind do, they can move one, we don't have much leverage, and------ and l want him to only belong to me, even in death, we will be together.
This has always been my wish, if l find my only one, l will stick to him as my life depends on it, l will never let them go, l will protect and guide them, and we will stay safe no matter what, he is my mate, this made my heart flutter, l don't know where this is going, this feeling is getting tyrannical, it's getting hard to control, l can't keep my eyes off me, he is magical, he is ethereal, l have never had such feels within me, my heart began to long for him, l want to have a closer look at him.
The verdict has been done, l sat stationary controlling myself as the crowd began cheering and howling joyfully, l need to talk to him, but how? What if he doesn't feel the same way as me? I don't want to look like a total nuisance in front of him, l don't want him to run away from me either, l mean if l were him l would run away too, who wants to mate with a wild beast like us.
Trains of emotional distress overhauled me, l stared vaguely at my mother as the ceremony slowly came to an end, they are likely to hang around a little before we can finally return to our cottage.
I have an opportunity now, l should go to him before he gets mixed up in the crowds.
"And where do you think you are going, Rowan? Don't cause trouble for your father and l, mother growled hatefully," l considered telling her what happened but l sighed out bitterly and walked down to the bare ground.
I followed his alluring and delirious scent, l shuffled through the crowds, hoping that he finds me too, my heart beat increased nervously as if l was drawing closer to him, my strides went on a slow pace when l saw him holding hands with another, jumping and cheering to his happiness, who is he holding hands with?
No one touches what belongs to me as if my legs had a mind of their own l surged out and gripped him by the wrist and dragged him away forcefully, the atmosphere stopped as if the clock won't tick itself, and a new world flashed through my face, the tingling feelings l haven't had before, my hand holding him, holding my mate like this is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
" What do you think you are doing? His mellifluous voice sounds like a tumour to my entire being, he struggled to heave his hand away from me, l dazed dreamily at the perfection in front of me.
"My name is Rowan."
