( Georgina's POV )
The moment I stepped into the hall I could feel all eyes were on me, It was like being the belle of the ball, with my father at my side I feared nothing.
When I saw him standing behind the thrown of the Vampire King my breath caught, he was so handsome, alluring his silver-streaked hair, bright blue eye's I was taken Mate or not, I was going to have him when I saw his eye's moving down my body like he was undressing me, I felt a shiver run over my entire body, I moved my hand up toward my broach that was placed between my breast to show my cleavage and his eye's followed I waved smiling.
I lowered to the floor in respect and then as gracefully as I could I rouse, Everything was perfect I watched him take a deep breath and close his eyes.
" I need to Pee," was all I heard in the silence. My Brother, I hated it when my sibling's ruined the moment, I just wanted to hit him slap that stupid mouth. I raised my hand to strike him angrily but with a tug from father, I placed my hand on his arm to not only calm myself but to calm him as well. All that ran through my head was how embarrassed I was, What was the Prince thinking right now, to make thing's worse he cried out for her, that reject of a sister the one who disobeyed every word my father spoke.
" Zinora," he cried.
I lowered quickly so my father's anger wouldn't be turned on me, The deadly aura that came from Father couldn't be missed it was one of death.
" Well when you gotta go you gotta go," came a masculine voice.
I raised my head in surprise while rising once again to see the handsome Prince and his Guardian approach with confidence radiating from there bodies, as they stood directly in front of us I could feel my face flush.
" Your Majesty," he said as they lowered.
" My apologies Alpha Meridius for the interruption," everything seemed to go by like it were a dream I just watched his mouth move and his body's stance, It wasn't until I saw a figure move toward us I finally broke out of my little dream.
She was adorable and moved with such grace and poise for someone so young very well refined, when she lowered in front of father and rouse so easily I grew a little jealous it wasn't every day I met someone so talented in the art of etiquette, then when father complimented her.
" So elegant and beautiful princess Lilly, the honor is mine," my mind just wanted to rip her throat out My father only bowed in respect to other King's and Queen's never to a Prince or Princess, If what is to come I am going to make sure I kill her first. A smile came to my face at the thought.
Finally, father introduced The Prince to me I held out my hand and he took it, it was so gentle it seemed he was too afraid to touch me like I would shatter into a million pieces like fragile crystal glass oh we are definitely meant to be, I became weak at the knee's as his lip's lightly touched my skin a burning sensation ran through me again I was definitely blushing.
" Nice to meet you, Princess," he smiled, I couldn't help but run my eye's over his masculine body.
" Likewise," I replied with a little giggle. I needed to tell my best friend as soon as I was able to, she would help me make a plan we only had two days to make him fall for me.
We were lead to the Throne's and seated where Immediately every-one started to feast, father and Alfred started talking about the race, I knew I had to try and get in there to impress the Prince so I asked if I would be racing, father replied with No instantly because he needed the spot for my sister if she was gonna run I was gonna make sure she wouldn't win, I turned to The Queen as she smiled at me her lips were moving but I didn't hear a word she said, she wasn't my mother what did I care.
My eye's searched the room for Prince Jacob he was hiding, where was he?
I took a few bites of my bread when I saw My bestie Nera. Her curled brown hair was in a tight bun on her head, she had dark brown eye's and dark skin she wore a plain blue summer dress that hid her tall skinny frame her plain feature's made her attractive, She was once one of our most feared warrior's till Zinora almost killed her for attacking Ariella from behind, that was when we became besties I nursed her back to health and we had planned revenge on them no matter how long it took.
She looked up at me and smiled, " What's Up?" she mind linked me.
" I'm in love Nera, Prince Jacob, I swear he feels the same." Nera clapped, looking around.
" I thought I saw something when we walked in, so what are you gonna do?" she then asked.
I looked around again, " well I can't find him can you see him from where you are?"
" No but I can see his Guardian he has just left, I might follow and ask."
Nera closed the link and got to her feet disappearing through the same door as Prince Jacob's Guardian.
( Nera's POV )
Every-one new who the Guardian was, he was very well known and highly respected not just as Prince Jacob's Guardian but as a person himself. Now I know he came this way, I needed to know if Prince Jacob's feelings for my Princess was real and if any-one would know it would be the Guardian, as Georgina's best friend and beta it was my place to find out.
I followed his scent for at least 5 min's when it became stronger, I could see him at the end of the corridor with princess Lilly and her little guardian. As I approached the smell of Zinora hit my senses stronger than any other, my wolf was always aware of her since our encounter a few years back she was only 9 then I was 15 but she was so powerful and aggressive she almost killed me if not for Blake I would be dead.
" Wow," I heard the guardian say, As I peeked around the corner Blake, Ariella, and the little Prince disappeared.
" You can come out Nera, Stop hiding from me." I blushed a little embarrassed to be caught out in front of The Guardian.
" Since she is here for you Guardian I will leave the two of you to talk," The guardian was a little dumbfounded as Zinora held her hand out to the little Princess and Malcolm walking away without saying another word.
" Ok," Mumbled Lincoln, " normally people would introduce themselves before taking off, must be losing my charm," I chuckled a little and so did he.
" it is not your fault, Guardian, Zinora is naturally like that," I grinned to myself,
" So that is Zinora," he asked pointing at her form as she disappeared. I nodded, I need to plant bad thought's into other's heads about her and her crew that would help out Princess Georgina allot.
" if you are of no importance you are not worth it," I lowered slightly, as he folded his arm's.
" So you say, I like to see things with my own eyes before I start questioning a person's integrity, So how can I help you?" he then asked a little more seriously.
I can see why he is well-liked he is open and does not judge without reason, I like him, so that mean's he is also truthful.
" My Name is Nera, Beta Nera second to Princess Georgina," I saw his expression change to one of curiosity.
" I was asked to find you and see if the Prince has any intention's toward the Princess." he raised a brow shaking his head then taking a deep breath.
" Unfortunately Nera, Prince Jacob has just found his beloved, therefore, I ask you kindly to tell the Princess, He has no intention's toward her."
I was not liking the way things were going, " Then why would he give all those little hint's of affection if it were nothing," Lincoln sighed as though this happened often.
" Obviously Beta Nera, You both took it the wrong way his affections are widespread and often taken the wrong way it is his duty as the Prince to make everyone in the kingdom feel welcomed, Now If you will excuse me, I have work to do."
I watched him disappear down the hallway, how was I going to tell her it would break her heart. Maybe if I found out who it was and then took her out of the game, My Princess could still have him, that would be so much easier.
" A little lie won't hurt," I mumbled to my self.
( Georgina's POV )
When I saw Nera return she had a smile on her face, I was excited as she glanced toward me.
" I have some good news and some bad news," she linked me, I sat up straight glaring at her waiting for anything good or bad.
" First Zinora is in the castle and has taken Runt," My face flushed with fury she was not to enter the castle without permission from Father.
" Father, Zinora has taken the Prince she is still in the castle." I linked him. He nodded as if he didn't care but I knew he would punish her which made me a little happier.
" OK, Nera what is the New's tell me?"
" He has found his Beloved," she said quietly, my mouth opened then closed it was very rare for a wolf and vampire to be destined to be together but not unheard of.
" His Guardian said he had just met her and didn't say who it was." she then linked sounding a little excited.
" Do you feel he is you're Mate?" her eyes moved to the end of the table, I grinned closing my eye's no doubt there was something there.
" I do Nera, but I truly won't feel that pull till I turn 18. Oh, goddess, I pray it is me."
Nera bowed her head and took her seat, " If it is not you, I will hunt that person down and personally take care of them for your happiness."
I nodded proudly to have such a loyal Beta and best friend I would do the same for her I think?
" Now my Princess the Prince is at the end of the table, see if he will take a walk with you," I nodded putting my hand on my father's arm.
" May I be excused father, I am going to see if the Prince will take me for a walk in the Garden's," Father nodded turning back to The Vampire King and laughing about who knows what.
The Guardian bowed as I nodded my head once to acknowledge him.
" Prince Jacob I was wondering where you were hiding," I said softly, A big smile spread across his face as he stared into my eyes, I blushed mentally blaming myself for not having a fan to cover how red I had gotten.
" I was hoping you would accompany me for a walk, you have a beautiful garden around the Castle." I then asked holding out my hand to him. He just stared at it like he was in a dream.
" Don't mind him, Princess Georgina, he has just come out of a memory trance," said Princess Lilly softly but with a little cheek in her voice.
" He won't be," I held up my hand to silence her, just because she was the Princess did not mean she spoke for him.
" I would like to hear it from your brother," I insisted, looking back toward Jacob.
When he swore I didn't know what to think, I felt insulted confused as to what I did wrong, He jumped to his feet quickly, his face red I didn't think Vampire could turn red how curious.
" Apologies Princess Georgina it was a memory, Unfortunately, I have Business that need's to be taken care of in the human realm, maybe another time."
Before he turned to leave I noticed the bulge in his pant's, " OMG Nera he has a b***r," my eye's grew wide, my face flushed even more than it already was, I took a deep breath licking my lip's, I most definitely wanted him and he surely showed how he wanted me. he made a quick exit before I could say anything.
