Sylvia's pov
I walked up to the sexy man that lay sprawled on the bed, temptations rose in me as I attempted to touch him. I tried to keep still and try not make any noise as I was overcome with an insane urge to reach out to him.
Something happened and he snapped up on the bed, eyes wide awake and alert.
"Shh. It's just me" I tried to say, even as he sat up straighter than a pin, arms out in a defensive position and ready to attack. His stance made him even hotter as I was getting even bolder to touch him.
"Who are you?" He asked, wide awake and still flexing his muscles in defense. I licked my lips as the muscles budged, even more, making him appear bigger and fiercer but his moves didn't scare me at all.
"My name is Sylvia. I must have gotten into your room by accident" I lied. I didn't enter his room by accident, I was compelled and I liked what I saw. I watched as his muscles flexed and relaxed, his defensive position relaxed and a smile warmed its way to his face, softening his features and making him even more handsome.
If not that I was pretending to be sick, I would have been caught drooling all over my dress.
"Oh. You're the princess. Your Highness, are you better now?" He asked curiously and genuinely.
I was touched by how much he cared for a stranger, even if it was technically a lie that my parents had told so I wouldn't get into so much trouble, not to talk about the trouble I was going to get in for clearly branching off into a place I wasn't supposed to.
I was deeply touched, it warmed my heart.
"Yes, I'm so much better now. I just got back from the doctor's quarters not too long and I came here to render my apology for not coming to the meet-greet" again I lied.
It was funny how I was lying to cover up the fact that earlier today, I didn't care enough for the meet-greet of a stranger who I was sure that I wasn't going to fall in love with.
I cared more about helping Danielle get some limited heels than meeting this stranger and now, as I stood before him, trying to catch my breath and make sure that I wasn't drooling.
"Well, I'm glad you are alright and I'm sure you're going to make up for the missed meet-greet. You didn't miss out on much anyway, honestly" he said and I chuckled. He was a kind gentleman, I liked that about him already but I noticed something.
Even though I was standing in front of my very hot mate, my wolf wasn't jumping in ecstasy, instead, she was nearly quiet.
I was almost offended but I took it as she was tired and so she really couldn't display the obvious reactions needed. Thankfully, I could help both of us out on that, especially since he was smoking hot and fucking kind!
" I imagine, it must have been pretty boring with all the old people present in the room. No offense to our parents!" I quickly added and threw my arms up in mock apology. He seemed to catch my joke and chuckled in response. He was completely relaxed now and I loved how he look when he wasn't fierce or anything.
"I'm sure you had a pretty long day, be that you were at the doctor for a long time. How about you get some rest, I wouldn't want to wear you out before tomorrow" he said, his eyes saying a lot, pouring out a lot of kindness and concern.
He was beautiful.
I smiled, genuinely and nodded my head.
"You're right. I do need some rest and as I said before, I came here to tender a heartfelt apology" I said, lying through my teeth and placing both hands crossed on my chest for a mock demonstration. He smiled showing off his pristine whites. I could faint here and now.
"And it was heartfelt. Thank you. That's very kind of you" he said again. I nodded awkwardly and gave a princessy bow before walking towards his bedroom door, as I opened it I turned back to look at him. His eyes met mine.
"Good night," I said.
"Good night princess" he replied. I smiled again, opening the door wider and slipping out, the way I had slipped in and closed the door behind me.
Danielle had stayed at the side of the door, away from his line of sight as I closed the door. She had her mouth in an 'O'. I didn't wait for her to start as I started walking towards my bedroom, getting back en route to what it was I was supposed to have been doing.
Danielle started to walk fast, holding my elbows to try to get my attention. My belly was in flutters as butterflies did dirty things to me and my mind brought up the nastiest forms of fantasies.
All the juicy things we could do together, that we would do together. I wasn't even paying any attention to Danielle as I kept biting my lips in a smile.
"Tell me!!" She nearly screamed in my ear as I plopped down on my queen-sized bed, head lost in my dirty images.
"Huh?" I asked her, finally coming back to reality as I supported my weight with my elbows, my knees kicking back and forth as I turned on my belly to face her.
" What's huh? Tell me... What happened? I was hearing a lot of things and your voice changed in there" she said, wiggling her eyebrows to emphasize what she meant and what she knew I knew.
I chuckled a bit, letting my elbows rest and my face rest on its side as I continued to daydream.
"Let's just say... It's a match made perfect" Danielle made an 'oh' sound, I laughed into my bed.

Remus pov
"Slyvia huh?" Brent suddenly asked out of the blue, I looked across from the mirror where I stood, buttoning my cuffs in my bedroom.
"What do you mean?" I asked Brent, brushing off some wrinkles that had begun to set on my cuffs.
Brent smirked.
"Don't tell me she didn't come to your room yesterday and offer an apology for not coming for the meet-greet yesterday?" He asked and when he realized that I still had no clue what it was he was talking about. His eyes widened in shock.
"Shit!" he exclaimed.
"She probably thought I was you... We switched rooms last night" he exclaimed again, meanwhile, I was thinking about how much it was a blessing that I didn't get to see her last night.
"Calm down Brent," I said, a smirk playing on my lips.
" This could be a blessing," I said again, evading my eyes from the mirror. I heard Brent's voice hitch.
"What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean?" He asked. I turned around from the mirror, loving the sudden focus Brent had on me. For the first time and in unusual situations, Brent was serious.
"Well..." I began, riling in the attention as I created suspense.
"What if you continued to play me?" I asked. I saw Brent's expression change immediately.
"Absolutely Not!" He exclaimed and got up from the chair he was seated in.
"Hear me out," I said commanding his attention. He folded his arms and looked at me like I had something waving over my head.
"I could use a few more days to enjoy my freedom before I get married to a stranger, it would help remove the pressure that is mounting on me already. Please" I said, giving off the necessary pitiable energy I could muster.
Brent seemed to think about it for a painstaking while before resigning himself.
He grunted impatiently as I closed my palms together to signify my desperation.
"Alright. Fine!"Brent said
"No funny business Remus!" He shouted.
"Alrighttttt. I've heard you" I smiled.

Another day passed without my mate and I meeting, there was a meeting scheduled for today, and all the times we could have bumped in the dining hall, she was never present and I was more than fairly certain that she was not going to show up again today.
Brent and I were walking towards the dining hall to meet with my dad and her parents for breakfast and something told me that she was not going to be there. My wolf was disappointed but I on the other hand expected nothing less.
I stopped suddenly remembering that I had left something in my quarters. I turned to Brent whose expression was already cooking up a good scolding. I sighed.
"I'll be right back Brent. It's not like I can run away" I said, seriously considering the option. Brent grunted like he knew what it was I was thinking.
"Come right back down, alright? You know your father doesn't like surprises" Brent said. I gave a Curt nod and began to walk back, mentally palming myself for forgetting to wear my mother's watch.
As I rounded a corner, I bumped into someone. Spilling their drink everywhere. On further inspection it was a petite girl with too much hair, hair she had managed to pack into a messy bun. She was lazily dressed as I looked her over.
"I'm so sorry" I immediately uttered. The girl in question gave a big scoff and threw her head up at me. I was mesmerized by her alluring green eyes. Eyes that flashed so much anger.
"Are you blind!?" She asked, making me speechless as I reached out to help her.
"Don't fucking touch me, you twat! How am I supposed to... You know what? Get. The. Fuck?" She threw her arms in the air, flipped an invisible amount of hair, and before I could utter one more word, she left.
I was perplexed that anyone could speak to me in that manner and then my wolf was extremely excited by her. Something told me she was my mate but now that I knew how rude she was, I was suddenly glad that I held no previous expectations.

Sylvia pov
I had the maids tighten my corset to give me that perfect figure, not that I was lacking any of that but I wanted to look spectacular as I could.
My Excitement was so hard to hide as Danielle caught me grinning as I observed every side of myself, my mate and I were supposed to meet for lunch in the emperor's garden. It was a luxury and since I knew what he already looked like, I was happy to know that I wasn't about to be disappointed.
"You're going to snatch his heart so fast, he won't know what hit him!" Danielle said as she stood by my side and smiled as I grinned.
The car was already parked and waiting for my arrival. The journey to the garden took less than five minutes, but it felt faster than that as my heart skipped. I kept a hand on my chest to steady my heartbeat.
I alighted from the vehicle with the help of a servant, as a bodyguard trailed my every step. For the first time in a long time, I didn't mind the bodyguards that followed my every step, it was worth the entrance. For him, it was worth it.
I sat down, having a light drink placed in front of me as I watched for my prince charming to arrive. First I heard the cars drive into the venue. Ten the multiple footsteps of men as they showed themselves dressed in all black and like a flower, they let a single man walk through.
I stood up, my anxiety having a field day as gradually his face started to appear, My smile started to morph into a frown.
I mentally asked myself, folding my arms as I got ready to strike. This wasn't the man who was warm to me that night, this was the random guy that decided to ruin my meet-greet this morning by rudely bumping into me.
"Is this some sort of joke?" I demanded as he closed the short distance between us and stood before me. His grin widened tauntingly, as a mysterious stout man came out of nowhere, he was an announcer.
Well, they all had some kickback explaining to do because if this was a prank, I was sure going to make sure they never heard the end of it when I got back home.
"Announcing!!..." The stout man began and as he took a deep breath, my irritation spiked as this man in front of me, regarded me with a bored expression.
"Where's the alpha?" I uttered, already getting cross at what was happening.
"Alpha Remus..." He said and again took a shocked breath
Wait, what?
My eyes darted back and forth in surprise at what I had just heard.
It couldn't be, I mean, I had already met my handsome stranger last night who was impossibly nice to me, but shock waves were spreading like wildfire all over me, and worse, my wolf was excited.
No way! It couldn't be.
"... of the Vetus pack!!" The stout man finished and disappeared.
"Cat got your tongue?" I managed to hear him say, or rather sneered– as my eyes widened in horror.
What had I done?
Sylvia''I… i.. what?'' I stammered.Remus, who looked shocked by the whole affair, stared at me like I had suddenly lost my mind. The whole scenario was very funny to say the least and I was still trying so hard to wrap my head around it all. Did I really go to the wrong room yesterday?I looked around to see if there was anyone else who noticed by confusion but everyone was acting normally which was very odd to me. What was really going on here?Remus recovered quickly by shaking his head a bit. Now, he understood my confusion and oddly enough, he was enjoying every bit of it.''Thank you.. thank you.'' Remus addressed the crowd, his eyes still on Slyvia's.I looked for a seat to sit down, still reeling from what I had just discovered. Remus was my betrothed, the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with. It was all so surreal to me because I hated his guts. What the hell was this? An arrangement of two people who hated each other's guts?''Thank you everyone who came to
The next day, the envoy leaves, and the wedding preparations are in full swing. Remus didn't know how to feel about it all but one thing he knew was that he was doing his father a great favor by getting married to Slyvia and according to him, that was the only way they could ensure that the bloodline continued.''I need to get through everything.'' Remus murmured.He was currently in his room, by the edge of the window that overlooked the whole kingdom but it was technically as far as his eyes could see. Remus even up till this day couldn't believe that he was to rule this kingdom every soon. It was all so surreal yet so untrue.''I can't believe this is happening. What happened to my dreams of flying the world? Shit! I did not bargain for this.'' he murmured.Just then, there was a knock on his room door. Remus wasn't expecting anyone and he had no idea who was knocking.''Who is it?'' he asked.''Yo! man, its me.'' Bret called.Remus sighed because he was really not ready for any Br
They got to Remus' huge mansion soon and as soon as they got there, Slyvia went straight to her room. She wasn't in the mood or had the energy to converse with anyone who didn't give two shits about her. She was better off on her own and she knew quite well that she could and would survive.Slyvia slammed the door shut with an angry look on her face. Now that she was married, there was no escape. She was bound to be with him for the rest of her life with certainly no hope of coming back out.This was their wedding day, a day they ought to be much closer than ever before but the reverse was the opposite. They were strangers and in fact, in that moment, Slyvia could liken themselves to being enemies. It was very sad to say the least and even though she could do nothing to
Slyvia''Ma'am… dinner is ready.'' my maid said.The poor girl had been standing for a few minutes now without me answering her. I didn't want to be a spoiled brat like Remus said I was but at that moment, I didn't have the strength to go downstairs for food. ''Ma'am.'' she said again.''I'm sorry. I'll go down now.'' I smiled.She smiled before leaving the room. I rose up from the chair I was sitting on before making my way downstairs. I might as well get it over with and focus on other things I wanted to do that evening.As I got to the dining area, I stopped in my tracks when I saw someone I didn't want to see at all. Remus. What was he doing here? I thought he usually ate in his chambers? Why the sudden change of events.I gingerly made my way towards the table, careful to sit at a chair farthest from him. I stared at him as I tried to make sense of the look in his eyes but I couldn't. Everything was emotionless.''Good evening Slyvia.'' he said without emotion.I could only mumb
RemusI couldn't lie to myself that what Slyvia said hurt me a whole lot. The bite and sting in her voice hurt me a lot but the last thing I would do was to see how much she hurt me. I would rather eat sand than allow her to see that she actually got to me.''Bitch!'' I hissed.Her disgusting attitude and behavior was going to get her into trouble one day and I would be there to watch her downfall and also laugh at her.I made my way back to my room. There were many things I needed to do and the earlier I got on with it, the better for me. I didn't have time to worry about someone like her when there were other things I could worry about.Slyvia was of no importance to me and in that moment, I knew I needed to put her in her place. That was the best thing I could do to someone like her.''So… how did it go?'' a voice said.I didn't need to look back to know that it was Bret who spoke. He was very inquisitive as well as nosey and would always want to know everything that was going on a
Slyvia Soon, I was ready for bed but still, I couldn't get Remus' words out of my head. It was getting annoying, having to think about what he said the whole time. ''Get him off your head Slyvia.'' I snapped. My wolf was restless but there was nothing actually I could do about it other than to calm down. That was the only thing I could do but it was easier said than done. I thought about other things, wanting to get my mind off of the main thing that was troubling me. That wasn't working and so, I decided to look through my phone to see what I could find in the gossip section. Nothing much was going on well except for the major coverage of my wedding to my billionaire husband. The photographer or whoever was behind the shots really did a good job in capturing the most important details of the wedding. It was all a buzz, something that would be remembered as a fun and special day for everyone else except me. I had to be the only person who wasn't feeling the energy at all. ''All
Slyvia ''This is not happening. It's not possible right?'' I murmured. Everywhere was dead quiet now with most of the staff already retiring for the night. Now, I could think about what she had just read. It was a whole lot, a whole freaking lot and I was finding it difficult to wrap my head around what I had just read. This was too much for one person to bear and I desperately wished there was someone I could tell. I needed someone I could talk to but the only person that kept coming to my head was Danielle. I wasn't sure if i could trust her with this information but judging that i didn't have anyone, she was the only one i could confide in.
Remus''Why do all Lunas have to be stubborn?'' I sighed as I made my way back to my room.My mother was stubborn and the stories I heard from my dad also pointed out to the fact that his mother had also been very stubborn. It just seemed like all the Lunas were following a pattern which was something I found surprising.''i just have to bare it all.'' I sighed.I made my way back to my room, my father's words ringing in my ears. I couldn't afford for what he told me to leak out. I didn't know his aim for doing that but whatever it was, I had a feeling that it was important.
