Rebirth of Alpha Princess

Aron's POV

Damn this paperwork. The witches are very tough, they have not opened their mouths at all. I will awe to think of another way. I am also late for the ceremony. If I start to prepare I will be able to arrive there at 10 or 11 o'clock.

I sigh as I look at the documents piling on my desk. It is obvious that someone is trying to pull the strings. Whatever it is, I need to find out how she knew about it and how she came up with this idea.

~~~

As I arrive at the castle guards block my way. "Are you playing a prank on me?" I growl through the mindlink.

"Why? What happened?" comes the nervous voice.

"Put your guards down, or I will not be responsible for the consequences, I am already late, and DO NOT try my patience!"

"Did you show the invitation card?" comes a hesitant voice.

I show the guards the invitation, but they did not budge, "Sir, it has already past the time of guests' arrival, we cannot let anyone enter."

Anger flooded my body. What the hell!!! I took a deep breath to calm myself. "Get your ass here, I do not want any commotion." I cut off the mindlink.

"What are you doing?" came the harsh voice from the inside.

"Sir, we are doing what we were instructed."

"Let him in. He is one of the guests. He has the invitation, does he not?"

"But sir, it was instructed not to let anyone after 10 o'clock," the guard did not budge.

"First, who is the head of the royal guards?" he asked harshly.

"You sir." they shoved him their respect submitting to his will.

"Second, didn't you see the special invitation he has?"

They could not answer this.

"I will be waiting for you in my office tomorrow," he said to them. "We are pleased to see you arrive Alpha Moonknight," he bowed.

I entered through the castle gates with a nod.

"I am glad that you behaved, my friend," he whispered.

"Today I cannot let anything ruin the night."

We enter the banquet hall quietly. It was almost midnight. I found her immediately and started to move towards her through the crowd.

"My dear daughter, from now on, you will step into the next stage of your life, and in near future will be leading our kingdom. I wish your life will be full of happiness," the king toasted, and everyone cheered.

She was also going to drink champagne. I caught her hand and on the contact, I felt my eyes shine and millions of sparks rush through my body. I felt her breath hitch as I circled another hand around her waist and pulled her to me. Her sweet scent filled my nose and I could not help myself from kissing her hand that holds the champagne. I smelled a faint smell of another man on her hand. 'MINE' growled my wolf, Alden.

"Will you show me the bastard who held your hand, princess?" I whispered just enough for her to hear.

"No need to care about the unnecessary things, I am all yours," she said looking up into my eyes. Her beautiful eyes.

"As you wish, I will let it go," I say drinking her champagne.

As I look at her more notice her hair. Instantly anger boiled inside me. Who dared to cut it?

"Your hair suits you, but I wish I had a chance to be able to touch the long strands," I say calming myself.

"Well, would you look at that?" the king said with anger and worry mixed in his voice.

"Moongoddes blessed me with my mate, dear father. It is the evidence of your wish coming true," she says smiling. As I observe him, he does the same. After he was sure her daughter wanted he said "Congratulations," letting it go.

"Shall we go for a walk?" Monay asks in a sweet voice.

"I would love to."

Taking her hand I lead her through the balcony to the back garden. At last the day I can freely touch her has arrived. I cannot stop myself from breathing deep in her scent. Apple and basil. But this time something also mixed. Blood!

I led her to the innermost of the garden. The royal palace's garden is the most beautiful. Occasionally when I visited the palace I would always have salvation here. Quiet and beautiful with a rose labyrinth, and a beautiful fountain in the middle.

I make her sit on the edge of the basin and sinking into one knee, take her foot.

"Hey, what are you doing!!!" comes her nervous voice, trying to stop my hands, her cheeks and ears becoming pink with embarrassment. So cute!

"You have injured yourself, I am just trying to help you, I promise," I whisper calmly, continuing the work on her tiny foot.

"You didn't have to do that, if you told me I would have taken care of it," comes her small voice.

"It's my pleasure to take care of you. Besides, a good excuse to monopolize," I say looking at her brilliant eyes. She averts her gaze shy.

"Why didn't you come earlier?" she asks.

"I got a job to take care of, so I was late. Here, get these off," I pulled her foot out of her sandals and put them on the ground. I hear her satisfied sigh.

After a while, she finally started talking to me. "I must ask you, how do you feel about us, being mates? Because I know, through these years I may have been a jerk towards you, and this feels so unfair towards you, I want to be sure about this," she said looking ahead.

As I looked back into the past, indeed, the way she has been acting, the way all the things ended up, it was all unfair.

"Indeed it is unfair" I paused. "Do you want me to reject you or will you do I yourself?" I had to ask. For myself, for her. If we continue this relationship, no matter how much she means to me, I want her to be sure 100%.

"Why would I ask you to get married if I did not want this?" she came back with her own question, not looking at me.

"Well, after you have achieved your goal, maybe?" I ask again.

"If I'm honest with you, I have not thought everything through yet. I am not even sure what I want and how I want it. Maybe this is the mate bond, maybe a feeling of justice, but even the thought hurts that I have been unfair towards you, and asking you to help me. I do not know what this feeling is," she says.

Well, that is reasonable. It feels like a dream too. "Then let's find out together," I say, and for the first time since we started talking she looks at me at last. Her big brown eyes, full of tears and desperation in them.

"Mate bond or not, I will make you fall in love with me, princess," 'just like I fell for you' i say the last part to myself.

I cannot help kissing her on her forehead, and cuddling her on my lap. She immediately nuzzled my neck, that was the best feeling ever. I already love the feel of her heat on my arms. She soon calmed down, the toll of fatigue reaching her she drifted off to sleep in my arms.

Sometime later I felt someone watching us. So I decided to take her to her room. I can't help laughing when I remember sneaking to her room several times when the King summoned me. So I pretty much know where it is.

When we reached the hall she started stirring a little. "Was it that comfortable?" I ask her amused.

"My bed is softer though," she came back at me.

Quick-witted. "That was a hit below the belt, I will remember this." 'Be careful my dear.'

"Where are you taking me?" she asked confused

"To your room, or would you rather sleep with me?" I tease her. To be honest I would love to.

"Well if you promise to behave?" she said with innocent face, knowing the effect she has on me.

"That is 2:1, princess," I say playfully. But I know how competitive she is, and instantly I see the burn in her eyes.

"What time is it? How much did I sleep?"

Thinking for a moment I gave her my speculation. "I think around 15 minutes. It should be around 12:30."

"Wanna hear a secret?" she said suddenly.

"If one of your pranks, no," I say sternly.

"Please? Just lend me your ear?" she pleaded. Why am I so soft with her? I lower my head.

"The secret meeting, today at 2 a.m. Down my corridor, to my study room. Pull the right-side candle near the fireplace," she whispered.

"Well, that was surprising, I will remember." I don't know for what, but I have a feeling that it is about a serious matter.

I bid her good night and slowly left to the guest rooms that were prepared beforehand. Surprisingly, my room was the nearest to her room. If we have a meeting, it means there will be a number of people. I need to prepare beforehand...
