Chapter 2~ Found her mate

"Aurelia, don't run so fast. Your dad is going to scold you." 

Serena yelled behind her daughter as she ran to catch her. Her daughter is surely going to be the fastest among all the other wolves. 

"Dad never says anything to me."

7 years old Aurelia giggled while fastening her speed. She is never eating that fruit pulp. It tastes disgusting and well fruity. Aurelia likes everything except fruits. 

"I can't deal with you anymore. Your dad is going…"

Serena was unable to complete her sentence as her daughter bumped with someone. Serena's eyes widened as she saw who the man was. He is none other than the Alpha King Darius. 

"Alpha," 

Serena bared her neck to him in submission. A form of respect. 

Alpha King Darius nodded at Serena before picking up little Aurelia in his arms. 

"What's your name, dear?" 

"Aurelia." 

Aurelia answered while rubbing her small nose which she bumped into with King Darius. 

"Forgive her, Alpha. She is a little bit faster than me."

Serena apologized to King Darius to which he laughed out gleefully. 

"It's ok, Luna Serena. You can't confine wind in a house. Let her run."

Aureus stared at King Darius in wonder. He talks like her father. 

"Let me inform Kent about your arrival. Aurelia, come with me." 

Aurelia nodded her head and got down from King Darius' embrace. She was about to run towards her mother when a possessive and commanding voice echoed behind her. 

"Mate."

King Darius and Luna Serena both were shocked and rooted to their position. King Darius looked behind and found his 12 years old son Reagan looking at Aurelia like a wolf looking at his…. Mate. 

"Reagan, what are you saying?" 

"Mate, she is my mate." 

Aurelia stared at the boy in front of her. He is a tall, taller than her. And his eyes are blue, like the sky. Aurelia walked towards him in small steps. She wanted to say hi to him. But when she reached him, Reagan sniffed the air behind her and again said out, 

"Mate."

"What is a mate?" 

Aurelia tilted her head and asked in a cute voice. She as like Reagan sniffed the air and found the smell of her favorite chocolate. Dark chocolate and a bit of cinnamon roll. 

"You smell like my favorite chocolate. Do you have any extra?" 

A smile took upon Reagan lips and he fished a small bar of milk chocolate from his pocket and handed it to Aurelia. 

"This is not dark chocolate. But thank you. I love this too."

Reagan was about to say something when Alpha Kent came to his daughter and picked up his daughter in his arms protecting him from the Alpha King's son who claimed to be her mate. For Moon Goddess sake, her daughter is only 7 years old. Not even 16. 

"Alpha, Kent I know how you are feeling but my son isn't a threat to your daughter. Let us go inside and talk it out."

King Darius even though he is the king, he was afraid of Kent at this moment. No one is scarier than a protective father of a daughter. King Darius knew this better because he also has a daughter. And by now he would have imprisoned that boy who would claim her daughter as his mate. In comparison to him, Kent is being more considerate. He is grateful, Kent still hasn't said anything to his son. 

Alpha Kent nodded at King Darius and started going inside his house with his daughter. King Darius looked at his son before gesturing to go with him. 

"Dad, he smells like my favorite chocolate."

Alpha Kent stiffened at her daughter's voice. 

"Does he feel like a threat to you, dear?" 

Aurelia denied by shaking her head. Alpha Kent was confused because her daughter feels weird whenever she meets a stranger. But with King Darius and his son Reagan she didn't get any weird feeling. Is it possible Reagan and her daughter are truly mates? 

Alpha Kent shook his head. Mate or not he won't let that boy ruin her daughter's childhood and adolescence. He is going to talk it out with King Darius.

" Kent, I know how you are feeling. And I also support your decision but from what Aurelia told you, I think they are mates. And you are basically saying to keep two mates away from each other."

King Darius as expected wasn't happy with the decision of keeping his son and his mate away from each other. 

"King Darius, forgive my insolence but my daughter is only 7 years old. And Reagan is also only 12 years old. It's rare for werewolves to find their mate at such a young age. You and I also have mates. Despite the age we know the amount of possessiveness we feel for our mates. Reagan has pure Alpha Blood and he is the future Werewolf King. He is gonna be more possessive than any of us. I don't want him to get possessive around my daughter when she makes new friends which includes other boys. She needs to mingle with others, talk to them. She is a prophesied child. We still don't have any idea about her powers. You also saw how different she is. She runs faster than any of us and she gives off those compassionate and motherly pheromones."

King Darius nodded his head. He was here to meet the prophesied child. The birth of Aurelia as a prophesied child spread all over the werewolf world but many couldn't come to meet her as Alpha Kent had set barriers. King Darius with the consent of their ancestor guardian angel a wizard came to meet Aurelia. He had forbidden Darius to meet Aurelia before 7 years old for some reason. And now King Darius could understand why it was forbidden before. His son is the mate of this prophesied child. And their meeting before would have brought more problems than now. 

"Kent, I understand you. But you can't keep him away from her or he will grow aggressive."

Alpha Kent fell into deep thinking when King Darius interjected. 

"Let them meet once a month. I'll keep my son in control, Kent. He will never disobey me….." 

"Alpha Kent, I promise I'll never hurt Aurelia. Let me meet her once a month. I'll not come before her if you want."

Hearing this from Reagan, Alpha Kent was surprised. A 12 year old boy being this intelligent. But again he is not ordinary. A normal werewolf doesn't find its mate at 12. 

Alpha Kent walked towards Reagan who was standing near the door all the time without uttering any word. 

"Reagan, in future you will be my King as well. If Aurelia truly is your mate then I won't say anything to you. Till she clarifies it, you will not talk to her or exercise your mate rights on her. No matter your rank, I'll hunt you down myself if my daughter gets hurt because of you. Is that clear?" 

Reagan nodded his head enthusiastically. 

"I give you my words, Alpha Kent."

King Darius sighed in relief. He knew whatever Kent did was right. He also knows that Kent won't deter him from waging war against him and his son if his son hurts his daughter.

"10 years more. Only 10 years. After that you will be with me. Forever and ever."
