The Lycan Princess' True Mate

Chapter 12

I only slept for a bit before Hera woke me up to someone knocking on the door. I tiredly got up and made my way to the front door. I called out and asked who it was and Mel yelled back to me, letting me know it was her.

I groaned to myself, not really wanting anything to do with her and Rain right now.

“I don't want to see you right now! Please go away!” I erupted. Mel cried to me that she had something important to tell me. I threw a quick silent tantrum. I knew that when I opened the door, there would be nothing of importance that came out of her mouth.

I swung the door open “What the hell do you need to talk to me about Mel?” I hissed.

She looked at me for a second like I had 3 heads. “What is your problem?” She inquired. I just shook my head no and turned around, heading back for the couch. Mel followed behind me and closed the door.

“So you are just going to ignore me then?” She observed.

I looked at her for a moment. At first I was not going to sit here and engage in any kind of conversation. But now I feel as if she is pushing my buttons by not respecting the fact that I told her I didn't want to talk to see her right now. Then she kept pressing the issue and I just erupted. “You have to be out of your damn mind right now. Who the hell do you think you are barging in here like that? What was so important that it could not wait until I got back to the kingdom?”

She stood there dumbfounded for a moment. “Well, because one Heath came back to the kingdom after coming here and said that you had met your mate! I wanted to come and see if he was still here with you.” She revealed.

I got back up off the couch and walked right up to her, almost nose to nose. “You knew that he came here last night? So that means you also know that Rain gave him the directions on how to do so. I don't care what Heath told you. He is nothing to me. Nothing at all. And my mate as of right now is none of your concern. No one else besides Heath has seen him, and we are going to keep it that way for the moment.” I remarked. “But right now, I don't think being friends is the best thing. I need some time to evaluate who I have been spending my time with.” I hollered.

Mel started to cry. “Are you saying you don't want to be my friend? We are like sisters, we can't just stop talking to each other,” she cried. “Friends don't share their friends' secrets. Even dumb ones like where they are hiding to get some time alone. And that is just what you and Rain did.” I explained.

“I did not tell Heath a damn thing Nev!” She pleaded. “Well, weren't you there when Rain told him?” I asked and she nodded. “So you could have stopped her or at least given me a heads up, right?” I added and again she nodded. That was all I needed to know. That is when I told her that, just because of those actions, is why she is in the same boat as Rain. She tried to cry harder. I didn't feel bad for her at all. Not one bit. So I just opened the door like I did for Heath and asked her to leave. She ran out of that door as fast as she could with her face in her hands trying to cover up her ugly crying.

I sat on the couch again and ran my hands down my face. I was super tired, but now that she just woke me up, the chance of me being able to lay back down and sleep a bit more is slim to none. I know them telling someone where I was is really not that big of a deal. But I asked them both specifically not to say anything to anyone. And not only did they tell, but they told the one person I was trying to get away from. I am having a hard time mentally dealing with this.

I decided to link Daniel and let him know that I was awake. I plan to grab some coffee from the kitchen in the castle and eat, and then head to see him.

*Daniel*

I got back to the kingdom, and was as quiet as I could be as I climbed the stairs back up to the room I was staying in while I was here. As soon as I got into the room, I linked my Beta felix, to let him know that I had found my second chance mate and I was going to be spending some time with her here for a few extra days.

He questioned if I had told her that she was my second chance mate, and I explained that I hadn't as of yet, but planned to very soon. Feliz expressed how happy he was that the pack was finally going to have a Luna. He made sure to add that the pack was doing well as he was acting as standing Alpha, and would continue to do so until I got back. I thanked him again and ended the link.

I lay on the bed staring at the ceiling. I can't stop thinking about Katie. I miss her so much. And now, because Nev is my second chance mate, it almost feels like I am doing something wrong to Katie. I never thought for one that I would be blessed with a second chance mate, let alone a royal one. I need to talk to Katie. Maybe it will help me feel more at ease.

I got off the bed and showered. I let the warm water run all over my body as I stood there with my eyes closed. As the warm water cascaded all down my body, I could feel some of my sadness wash away. When I was done, I got dressed and went into my bag, I pulled out this compass navigator that my parents had made for me when Katie died. The compass was made out of her ashes. That way I could take her with me wherever I go. And if, by chance, I ever got lost, all I needed to do was pull this out, and it was like she was right next to me helping guide me back. As I picked it up in my hand, I closed my eyes and opened the top. The inside had a picture of Katie and I from when we first found out we were mates. When I finally opened my eyes and looked at the picture, Katie had the same beautiful smile that I fell in love with all those years ago. I started talking to her. Telling her about Nevada.

This was the closest I could get to talking to her face to face. I told her that I was going to give Nev a chance. The Moon Goddess was kind enough to bless me with her as my second chance. I told Katie that I wanted to make sure she knew that I would never forget her and I would always love her. After talking for a while, I felt so much better about everything. I felt like Katie would be proud that I never gave up. Not once. I also kind of feel like Katie was the one that led me to the kingdom in the first place. I mean if I hadn't entered The Liquid Meadow, I would never have seen Nev the first time. Or Kiel, and then the invite to Nev’s party would never have happened.

All of a sudden, Nev linked me. “Hey Daniel I just wanted to let you know that I am up, I am going to head to the castle now for some breakfast and coffee and then we can meet up if you want.”

Her voice was so beautiful. I could not believe that she was my mate.

“Alright Nev, sounds like a plan. I am also going to go grab something to eat as well. Maybe I will see you in the kitchen.”

She didn't respond back. I know that the last 24 hours for her have not been the easiest. And as her mate, I will do everything in my power to help her feel better. I always want to see her smile. Not many people know this side of me. Lots of people say that I am a very angry Alpha. That is true sometimes. I feel like I am as hard as I am when the time needs it. Others will beg to differ.

I know that one of the more difficult things is yet to come, and that is telling her that she is Luna of my pack, and she and I will talk to her parents together. To let them know that she is my mate. I am not as worried about telling her parents, as I am about telling Kiel. I don't know how he is going to take it. I mean he is the one that invited me to come to this party, not to become his niece's mate. I just hope he doesn't hate me too much after we spill the beans on our good news.
