The Silent Princess

Chapter 5

Kyle’s POV

I left Elizabeth’s room, running down the hallway to the communal dining hall, where I saw Molly last. We have two dining rooms in the castle; one for the royal family and their guests. One for high society members of the kingdom pack. I had to make sure she didn’t step foot near Elizabeth again. To my luck; she was still there talking with a few of the many whores she has as friends and I had slept with all of them. They were all wearing the same sort of outfits; if that is what you can call them. They barely cover their asses and t**s.

“Kyle, baby; I was just telling the girls about how you are mated to the new help” Molly says, coming over to put one of her manicured hands on my shoulder. I let out a growl and she stepped back, looking surprised at me.

“She is not the new help. She is the sister of the new Alpha being appointed to the Silver Falls pack”, I inform the group as Molly scoffs at me, rolling her eyes. Man, I wish I had never let her come near me.

“If that is the case; why didn’t she tell me?” Molly questions.

I can feel the anger rising in my veins. I never wanted to hit a woman before, but she was making it hard for me not to want to do it now. “Because she can’t speak” I growled at her, Josiah coming through in my voice. “Something happened when she was 10, and she hasn’t been able to speak since.”

“A queen with no voice; how convenient for you”, one of the other women giggled. I think her name was Candy or Courtney. It starts with a C.

I ignored her and turned my gaze back to Molly. “You come near me or my mate again; you will be banished, no questions asked” I seethed through gritted teeth before turning and heading out the door. I could hear the girls comforting Molly, but I didn’t care.

I know I couldn’t help wanting the release this morning. Josiah had been pacing in my head from the moment I woke up. “Hey; don’t blame me for wanting to poke your pointer at someone” he snarled, sitting up in my head. I can feel his black fur standing on end.

“Sorry man. I shouldn’t have bla…” that’s all I got out before he threw up a barricade. Great; not only is my mate pissed at me, my wolf is too.

I walked into the throne room and threw myself down on the chair at the side of Mum and dad’s thrones. Naturally, Mum and Dad are already here. “What’s the matter, son?” my father asks through mind link and I shake my head at him.

“I don’t want to go into it right now” I told him as I smelled the sweet scent of Apple and Blueberry coming down the hall. I sit upright in my chair; my parents watchful gaze following my every move when Elizabeth walks through the door with Lucas. I close my eyes and inhale deeply, trying to commit the scent to memory.

She glances over at me; her lips pursed together before turning to curtsy at mum and dad. She signs; “it’s an honor to be here, King Isaac and Queen Maxine”, which Lucas says out loud for her, before they both take a seat in the front row we had for the ceremony.

My eyes never left her. “Is that Lucas’ sister?” Dad asked me through a mind link. I nodded my head, not wanting to voice my answer.

“And she is your mate?” Mum asks through the same mind link. I nodded my response again, not ushering a word to them. Mum’s smile widens towards Elizabeth, and she moves from her throne to speak with her. When did Mum learn sign language? I can’t see what they are saying because mum is blocking my view.

The rest of Lucas’ party come into the room as Mum and Elizabeth finish up their discussion. Taking a seat on her throne again, mum frowns in my direction before turning to face the front. Great, I’m going to get an earful from her too.

Dad begins the proceedings and I continue to watch Elizabeth. I can’t concentrate on what is being said. The moment Elizabeth’s smile beamed at Lucas, my whole thought process went out the window. My heart swells for her to the point it’s going to explode. “That’s not the only thing that is swelling for mate”, Josiah says, coming to the forefront of my mind.

I crossed my legs instinctively, hoping to disguise the boner in my pants. “When did you decide to grace me with your presence again?” I sniped at him.

“I’m not gracing you with my presence” he huffs back, looking through my eyes at Elizabeth. I should have known he had just come forward to see Elizabeth. “You better believe it” he said, showing me what he wanted to do to her.

“Really? You are making it worse” I yelled at him. He chuckles and heads to the back of my mind again.

“Without further ado; I would like to introduce you to Alpha Lucas Surry of the Silver Falls Pack” Dad said as cheers echoed through the room. Damn, I missed the whole ceremony.

Everyone got out of their seats, congratulating Lucas and giving him a hug. I stood up and headed down towards him, extending my hand. Once I was close enough, he pulled my hand, wrapping his arms around me; “she’s willing to give you a chance. Don’t f**k it up this time” he whispered in my ear.

I couldn’t help it. The smile on my face grew as he let go of me and more people came to congratulate him. Lucas could mind link with her. I wonder? I thought to myself. We can mind link with anyone in the kingdom. We tried with Lucas, but it was patchy, to say the least. We figured it had something to do with the enchantment placed on him. But Elizabeth is my mate. I opened the link “Elizabeth, can you hear me?”

She turned to look at me, her lips pursed together again. “If you can hear me, please say something.”

She narrows her eyes in my direction. “If you think all is forgiven you are truly mistaken” she huffs before walking out the door. Her voice was like music to my ears; I quickly followed her to her bedroom.

I reach her before she opens her door, grabbing her hand and turning her to face me. I could see the protest in her face, so I crashed my mouth onto hers. She squirms for a moment before she starts to kiss me back.

Nibbling her bottom lip, Elizabeth opens her mouth and I push my tongue in. “Ahh-hmm” a voice clears behind us as we quickly jump apart. “Sorry to interrupt” the lady with blonde hair smirks towards Elizabeth as she opens her door, escaping into her room. “My name is Helen.”

“The third enchanted person” I whispered and she nods her head. “How did you know we were here?”

“Smell and sound” Helen stated, in a matter-of-fact tone. “And I had Caitlyn come forward to confirm what I thought was going on.”

There was an awkward silence between the two of us before I took a step away from the doorway. “What are your intentions for my cousin?” she inquired, turning on her heel to look at me. At least that is what it looks like she is doing. I know she can’t see me; it’s amazing she can sense where I am and make it look like she can.

“She’s my mate. My intentions are to please her for the rest of her life”, I stated, and her eyes glazed over. At least I think they are glazing over. I’m not sure if they are, or they aren’t.

“I don’t care if you are the prince. You hurt my cousin, I will kick your ass to hell and back” said Helen, before turning and walking away in the other direction. I heard a woman laughing in my head and turned to see the door ajar and Elizabeth’s eyes peering through it.

She quickly shuts the door; “You think that’s funny?” I ask her through mind link.

“Yes” she responds, shutting down the link. Goddess, this woman is going to be the death of me. I race to my room, stripping out of my clothes, heading into the bathroom; turning on the shower. Setting the temperature to ice-cold.

I groan as the water hits my skin, remembering the kiss we shared. Hearing her laugh in my head. It was like bells chiming. This isn’t working. I rapidly took my shaft into my hands and worked to clear the erection; picturing what it would be like for Elizabeth to ride it.

It didn’t take long for the release to squirt all over the tiles. When I finally have her in my arms, I’m going to have to take it slow. I want to pleasure her all night long, not in two seconds flat. I quickly clean myself up and step out of the shower when a knock comes on the door.

I put a towel around my waist and head to open it. I stand in the doorway; the scent of apple and blueberry comes through the crack. Elizabeth? I open the door and the erection I had just released stands at attention once again.

Yep! This woman is going to be the death of me.
