Rebirth of Alpha Princess

Mate!

I have been here at the party for 3 hours already. Soon it will be midnight when I am considered a grown-up. I feel a little anxious about all the things going on here. I have met my friends and a lot of higher-ups in our society. It is nice to see them all again after so long.

My mom and dad are having fun too. I know how it is important for them to see me grow up happy and as cherished as every child should be.

We girls have been gossiping about hot guys and they were guessing which prominent prince or duke would be my mate. And it made it heavier waiting for him. In my previous life, He came earlier to the party. But now, he is nowhere to be seen. He did not even arrive. I am so afraid that because of my actions the present has changed. But, yes, it has already changed, my birthday is being celebrated on time, due to the failure of the kidnapping. Still, it is becoming unnerving to wait. I am already having difficulty keeping my expression calm.

Anyway, there were quite a number of young gentlemen who are eying me up and trying to approach me. But right now I do not have the mood to chit-chat with them.

If I say the truth, I saw what happens when one is not careful to have other males scent on them at this day. When I visited my relative Princess Jessica at her 16th birthday party a year ago, Prince Noah almost killed Duke Ashton, because he had danced with Jessica. That was a sight to see. When you are in a frenzy, it is almost difficult to control. Since I do not know his limit of endurance in these kinds of situations, the only means of protection for my family and friends is that I stay away from the males as much as possible.

"How are you even standing?" says the voice behind me. I was so focused on my thoughts that did not notice how dean approached me.

"If you again do this I will have no other choice than to make you my spar partner" I say not even turning my head.

"Oh, come on~, don't be so cranky." he says blocking my view.

"I do not want to show you how cranky I am."

"You know you can always rely your inner thoughts to me, though. But you are keeping everything to yourself. Even this morning."

"I know, Dean. Just its been long day. And I am almost hyperventilating. Its hard to keep my emotions under control. So, please, give me some time."

"Ok, but remember that you always have a shoulder to carry the burden together," he said, taking my hand.

"I will."

It was almost midnight. And it was almost the end of the party. My father gathered everyone around to make final announcements.

I am so thirsty, that it feels like a desert in my throat. Fortunately, the ladies keep rotating different kinds of drinks. I grab one orange juice and chug it down immediately, and take one more to keep my mind away from the other things.

"Dear guest and citizens, it is high time to go forward for the important part of our party. Monay." my father says and I go forward a little.

"My dear daughter, from now on, you will step into the next step of your life. I wish it to be full of happiness."

Everyone cheered and started drinking their toasts. It was almost 12. As I brought mine to my lips a hand caught my hand from behind and directed it to another way and a million sparks rushed through my body. I felt myself in a frenzy, my eyes burning. Another hand circled my stomach and pulled me to the stone-hard body. A delicious smell of coffee and milk wafted my nose. My breathing labored. He brought my hand to his lips and said " Will you show me the bastard who held your hand, princess?"

My hand? my mind is running a mile at a second. Who? Why did he come so late? Why I could not sense him? How did he enter?

"Why fret over the unnecessary things?" I say. "I am yours for all I know." looking up I find him staring at me with his beautiful blue eyes still shining like mine, the sign of the mate bond.

"If you say so, I will let it go for now." He kisses the back of my hand that is holding the drink. "Your hair suits you but, I wish I had a chance to caress the long one too."

Someone clears their throat and we both look up as if our bubble popped. I blush knowing that everybody now knows that he is my mate.

"Well, would you look at that?" my father says.

"Moongoddes blessed me with my mate, dear father," I say cutting him off. "It is the evidence of your wish coming true."

"Congratulations," he says smiling, his smile not reaching his eyes. He stares a little bit longer. When I nod him my confirmation, he lets go.

"Shall we go for a walk?" I say looking back.

"I would love to." he says leading the way.
