The Leopard King!

what am I going to do?

chapter 30

Callahan pov six days before the royal ball,

I was pacing back and forth in my office, after the day that Susy came into the office and talked with us., i was uneasy because of what Tiffany had said to me, that she had already planned on choosing a mate if she did not find her mate that night, I thought she didn’t date at all, but that's what I get for not keeping tabs on her, She had all the right to date around i had no claim over her not until she comes home, than she would scent me out, knowing that we are mates, she will know for sure that i knew we were mates all along and i still did that to her, my mind kept going back to that day, i just wouldn’t listen to her, i was in the dungeon looking at her with so much hatered in my eyes, She tried to tell me that my father told her to tell us that he loved us very much, I almost walked back to that cell grabbed her in my arms and marked her, but I didn’t. i made her suffer through the night than suffer some more when i slashed her back. and then banished her from the kingdom. I was so glad that I had a friend to take care of her until she got better. they found her at the edge like i told him. he took her back and took care of her, i kept tabs for awhile, but i knew i needed to stop before my mother found out, and then she came to me to talk about finding my mate so i could have a heir to the throne, i had to tell her, and now look at us, We are doing everything possible to make sure she is safe, the woman that we thought killed my father is coming back to face all of us, I’m not sure what i plan on doing once she is here, i think i should let her scent me out, but if i do that then she probably would reject me and leave. Maybe i should let her be once she is inside then i will scent her out and walk over to her, I need to plan this out so I won't scare her, mom knows to stand back until i have her in my office then she will walk inside. She knows not to shut the door, because that's when she would probably think she will be in trouble. We need answers. We need to know who did this. I was so lost in thought that i didn't even hear Tabby walk into the office, she cleared her throat, she was sitting down, she was wearing jeans and a button up pretty blue top, her hair was put in a ponytail, what is she up to now, And here i thought she was going to leave me alone, she didn't even last three weeks and she is right back in her old ways,

“What is it, Tabby, don't you have things to do rather than bother me?” she looked at me like i was crazy, yeah i was on edge because of the ball so what, but what did she want from me now,

“I wasn't trying to bother you, I was wondering if you had any plans when Taylor gets here, You and I both know that Taylor is your mate. Do you have any idea how you are going to approach her?” Now I thought about how I was going to go up to her, I had no clue. I knew she was just trying to help. Tabby smelled different, she didn't smell like the other males' scents anymore, I needed to stop that. Tabby was not my mate. and i am keeping it that way,

“I don’t have a clue how I’m going to go up to her, I am planning on letting Bane take the lead, Maybe he'll know what to do."

“I think it's best that you do. You might scare her Callahan, how about have her favorite flower waiting for her, have it in your hand and hand it to her when you see her, but be easy, Do not rush her, take your time, she will be watching to see if anyone will come up her to harm her, i bet she will be on her guard, so be careful, I didn't come in here to bother you Callahan, i am waiting on my mate i'm not even sure he will be there. but if he's not then i will choose a mate of my own."

"I wasn't thinking about that Tabby. My mate will hopefully be there. And if she decides to reject me when she finds out we are mates. Then I will have to deal with that. Until then you can leave now I have things to do and things to think about. just make sure you stick to your word about waiting on your mate. You don’t want him to smell other males on you. I also saw that Polly let you take the lead on the trainer the other day,. you did very well until your sister came up to you. I was impressed by how calm you was. you keep that up when Polly decides she wants to step down you will be top trainer. She nodded as she stood up from the chair she was sitting on, Her emotions was taking effect. She loved Callahan. But she also knew that love was never going to be returned to her, She had to let him go and find her own mate. she knew she had to let him go and find her own mate, her soul mate and if he's not there that night. Then she will choose a mate and hope that he chooses her as well

“Alright Callahan, i'm heading out, I would like to be the one that steps up to be the head trainer if and only if Polly steps down. She bowed her head then left my office, I was relieved when she did. I don't like smelling her scent. I never did. her scent was clean now but i still did not like it, I pulled out a old photo of Taylor and i we were still teenagers i was holding her up over my shoulders she was laughing she was wearing ripped jeans with a pink pull over shirt that said Rave in the middle, her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. I sure miss her, the closer the royal ball came the more nervous i got. Would she forgive me for everything I had done to her? Would she forgive me for not hearing her out? I just do not know. I wish I did. I was the king for crying out loud, I could alpha command her to forgive me and be with me. But I won't do that. She needs to do that herself. Right now I just need answers about my father. I sat back in my chair with my arms behind my head, and I turned to look out the window. The sun was up high. I could feel the rays from the sun shining on my face. I wish my dad was here. He would help me or tell me what I needed to do. This was so hard I didn't really know what to do. i decided just to get up and get out of here, maybe a run would do it to clear my mind from the stress of meeting Taylor again after two long years, I hope she shows up,

I was just about to head to the kitchen to see what I could fix for lunch. When I saw my son rushing out of his office, I started to get worried what was he was running for. i ran after him to outside, i saw him rip off his shirt, Oh he was just going to go on a run, He only does that when he has things on his mind, i know he is nervous to see Taylor again, it's going to be hard for all of us, for so long we thought she did it, she murdered my husband, Apart of me really thinks she did. she had his blood all over her. but the other part of me feels that she didn’t. I don’t know what to believe anymore. I just need my questions answered, that's all. The seer will know if she is lying. and if she is, I swear to the goddess I will rip her throat right out of her, I will get my revenge, Ryan was my soul mate, they will get what's coming to them.
