|04|~ His Family

It seems so stupid for me to go back to the castle, only for me to be thrown out by that same crazy male wolf, who clearly has no regard for women.

I tried, and tried and tried but nothing.

It doesn’t work.

He is always there.

It is almost like he is expecting me, so I decide to take a day break.

I have tried a direct approach several times, and it didn’t work.

Now, it is time to seat and wait.

I still can’t believe that he hasn’t come to search for me.

Maybe, he is out there with another woman…

I am so going to sterilize him.

The door opens widely and Estella comes in, closing the door behind her as she pants.

Okay?

Did she run a race or something.

She walks to where I am seated on the couch rather dramatically.

“What is it?”

I wait for her to catch her breath before she speaks, “The King has created a search party for his mate. She apparently flee from the castle, who wouldn’t.”

I roll my eyes at her and lay on the couch.

If this roof would automatically come off then maybe I could get some tan.

I just have to get some sunscree-

“Minerva, he is looking for you.”

Huh?

“You have to go.”

I frown at her. 

She just loves disturbing my peace and quiet.

Urgh!

In these few weeks, we have been rather close, and I trust her enough to not slice my throat while I sleep…

“Why would he be searching for me?”

It’s her turn to roll her eyes at me, “Because you are his mate, of course.”

What?

“How did you know that.”

“I knew that on the first day I met you. I don’t know how, but I did. It is very hard to explain and more complicated to understand.”

Sometimes certain wolves can sense their Queen, same goes for their King…

I heard that was long ago, though.

I also heard that it’s very rare.

“Minerva, are you even listening to me?”

I send her a bit of a guilty smile. 

“You have to go and meet him out there.”

“Nah, I think I will stay here. He can find me on his own.”

“Oh my goddess, stop acting like a child and get out of here.”

Her frustrated simply can’t handle me.

I am not acting like a kid.

Am I?

I think not…

“I just want him to find me himself, so that I can ask him why he didn’t come to look for me before now.”

She frowns at me, “What’s the difference with going to face him and ask him that?”

I smile at her, getting comfortable on the couch, “Him using a bit of his effort to search for me. I want him to do that.”

Before I can sterilize him.

She rolls her eyes and joins me on the couch. It squeaks under our weight, “I don’t really like the royal family, but I do support you and I hope you give him a little hard time before you submit.”

Submit?

“What do you mean?” 

She shrugs at me and I say, “We are equals, I don’t need to submit to him.”

“I don’t know him pass his public image and I trust your better judgment but, if it comes to that, I wouldn’t want you to get hurt so just submit quickly.”

“How-”

A knock comes from the door, a very hard knock, “Open up!”

I huff.

Can’t I have a time to myself?

Estella and I share a brief glance and she says, “They are here.”

She tries to stand up but I don’t let her, “Don’t.”

She groans with a frown and we hear another knock, “Why not?”

“Just don’t. I don’t think that I am ready to become Queen.”

“You will have to be, Minerva, because if I don’t open that door he break it down.”

Suddenly, the door flies open.

I sigh.

He just broke the door.

Bummer.

I liked that door.

He glares at me as he steps inside, his boots crushing every pieces of wood he marches.

Dramatic soon to be sterilized hell of a King.

Sebastian.

“Minerva.”

I don’t know why when he calls my name I smile, but I do and I stop.

I fold my arms as he reaches arms length, “Sebastian.”

His eyes move to Estella and I frown and move also, to cover her from his view, “Why did you break my friend’s door?”

“Why did you leave the castle.”

I glare at him, “Why did your chief head psycho throw me out?”

As I say this, the male in question comes out of hiding and I glare at him, “Hey psycho.”

He frowns and opens his mouth to speak but closes it back when Sebastian turns to stare at him. 

“You did what?”

He apparently starts sweating…

No, he doesn’t.

I am only joking.

“I didn’t know that she is your mat-”

“Leave!”

His voice echoes in the room and everyone scrambles out of the room, including Estella.

I actually don’t blame her.

I would scramble out of the room if it was up to me.

It’s a bummer that it is not.

“Why didn’t you come look for me sooner?”

“I was held up and I didn’t know that you had left.”

You mean, you didn’t know that I had been thrown out…

“I’m sure you didn’t, you had other females to keep your bed warm.”

He groans out loudly and covers his eyes with his hands, “That’s not true, Minerva. What transpired between us made my wolf go crazy. He wanted to mate and mark you there and I couldn’t allow that, not without your consent.”

Mate with me.

Oh Goddess.

My face starts getting hotter by the second. He notices this and smirks at me. 

“But that doesn’t explain why you are coming here after two weeks…”

“That’s what happened, Minerva. I had to take care of my parents who badly wants to see you.”

Wait.

“What?”

He smiles at me. I don’t know if it is a good thing or a bad thing, “We better start going.”

He grabs my arm and takes me outside, while my mind process the thought of his parents wanting to meet me.

I knew this would happen, but I wasn’t expecting it to be so soon. 

So very soon.

He takes time to address the male who threw me out while I use my own time to give my goodbye to Estella.

She just gives me a sad smile and we hug.

Sebastian speaks to Estella. “You have helped my mate now let me help you. You can come and live in the castle.”

She bows her head, “I think I would stay here. I do better here.”

“Very well,” He nods at her and then turns to me, “Let’s go.”

When we go back to the castle, he leads me to his bedroom.

I actually don’t want a repeat of what happened… in a way.

“Are you ready to meet my parents?”

No, I am not.

How would I be?

“Can we shift the it? I don’t feel so good.”

He frowns at me, “Did you just say, shift the it.”

I nod, and jump on the bed. 

This could be fun…

“Yeah.”

He shakes his head at me, “Well, I can’t shift the it because, they have been waiting for a while now.”

Urgh.

Can’t a girl have a time to herself.

“Fine, let’s go.”

He smiles at me and I roll my eyes. 

“Don’t smile, you haven’t faced your punishment yet.” 

 

I make an evil laugh in my head.

“What?”

Ha!

We walk out of the room and head to the…

Okay, I don’t know where we head to.

I just know that there are a lot of people inside the room we are in now, and they apparently don’t notice us… at first.

But they do, eventually, but very slowly. 

“Leave.”

Hmm, is it only me that notice that.

This was the same thing he said in Estella’s home.

He needs to increase his vocabulary and these wolves need to change their response when he says that word, cause they hurry out of the room like cockroaches.

I hate those things.

Wait, not everyone rushes out. About five people are left behind, and they are staring right at us, well, at me.

As we draw closer, the youngest female among the group hurries to hug me so tight that my lungs start having contractions, if that’s possible.

Sebastian glares at the female and separates us, “I didn’t bring her here for you to kill her.”

The female waves her hand in Sebastian’s face, “Relax, I got my job caught out for me.”

Wait….

What?

The female smiles at me. It looks a bit creepy but who am I to judge, “It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Gwendolyn; but you can just call me Gwen.”

“I am Minerva.”

She giggles and winks at me, leaving me to wonder if she is on a sugar rush, “Beautiful name.”

“Thanks,” I think.

Sebastian pushes her away from me and points to the oldest looking male and female present in this room, “That’s my mom and dad.”

I wave at them and they send me genuine smiles, “Nice to meet you.”

“And those are my brothers, Josh and Junior.”

J and J.

The males in question waves at me. The latter looks like he is about seven while the first is apparently, almost Sebastian’s age.

Junior is more focused on his video game while Josh walks to me with a creepy smirk in place. 

He takes a hold of my hand and places a light kiss on it. Sebastian glares at him and snatches my hand away with a deep growl.

It seems like these two don’t get along very well.

“Josh, don’t be so disgusting. Sebastian could chew you raw in a second,” Gwen rolls her eyes at Josh and pushes him out of her way; technically, it’s out of my way. 

Sebastian’s family is a bit out of the law of physics…

I mean his siblings, his parents hasn’t spoken a word for a while now.

“Now tell me Minerva, how did you and Seby meet?”

Seby?

The nickname almost makes me throw up laughter but I manage to reign it in.

I smile cockily at her, “That’s for me to know and you to find out.”

As I say this, she bursts out in a loud giggle and hugs me tight again, but my lungs don’t have contractions this time; they have burns.

Sebastian has to separate us again with a glare like the first time.

She sure loves to hug.

Gwen doesn’t acknowledge him or his glare, all she can stare at is me.

I don’t know why though.

“Shut up!” Okay? “Don’t tell me you are a fan of Angel Writes too!”

“What?”

She frowns at me, “Angel Writes, the human writer!”

What…

Wait.

“Oh.”

“Yeah, so you do know her.”

I nod vigorously, “Who wouldn’t. I absolutely love her books, but it’s somewhat a bummer that she isn’t famous in the human world, that is where she lives, right?”

“Yes, but she is really famous here, in the supernatural world,” She says, “Maybe an anonymous someone who is probably the alpha king could also anonymously pay a large sum of money for her books…”

Oh.

I know where this is going. 

“Yes, an anonymous rich guy who has nothing to do with his money,” We both simultaneously turn to the male is question, Sebastian and he rolls his eyes and folds his arms across his chest.

Classic.

“I’d have to know her name first.”

“Simple Angel Writes.”

He groans loudly and rolls his eyes again, “I mean her real name.”

Oh.

Before Gwen can reply, the chief psycho- would throw me out of the castle a few weeks back, walks in and whispers something into Sebastian’s ear.

I suddenly have the urge to scream that we have werewolf hearing, so if I want to listen in on their conversation, I would.

Sebastian nods at whatever the male whispers to him before he turns to my direction, “I’m sorry, Minerva, something came up.”

He moves closer and kisses my cheek before he walks out of the room with the male psycho.

Ha!

“Aw,” Gwen’s voice bring me back to reality.

Damn. I forgot that his family are still here.

She wiggles her eyebrow suggestively at me, “What was that about?”

Er…

I think creepiness runs in the family.

“Gwendolyn!” Her mother finally speaks as she glares at the female and then smiles at me, “It is a pleasure to meet my boy’s mate. You are so beautiful.”

I check classic mom talk off my mental list.
