Nathan:
“Oh, tired of your little toy already? You know I could send you a better satisfaction, one who could hold herself a lot more than the little human” mother mocked when Grace, Ashton, and I entered the dining room, Elijah stayed behind in my chamber by Kiara.
Ashton took a sharp breath and Grace held his hand, intertwining their fingers, stopping him from whatever outburst he was going to have at that very second, knowing that mother would hold it against him if he does, and that was the last thing we now needed.
“She’s resting as she’s a little ill mother, and I do appreciate you stop insulting her” I said looking mother in the eye, my gaze hard meeting hers which was something that she never saw toward her from my side.
“Well, considering she said nothing wrong Prince Nathan, she is a weak human after all, how would she be able to hold herself in the arms of an Alpha like yourself” the familiar soft
Kiara:“Elijah!” I whined at my big brother who was not allowing me to get out of bed unless it was to go to the bathroom.“No”“Please”“No, your fever is still high, you are not getting out bed princess” Elijah said and I rolled my eyes crossing my arms over my chest as I looked at him, the blanket covering my legs.“I’m literally just going to the couch Elijah, come on, I know I’m on bedrest, but this is too literal” I said snapping at the hybrid who rolled his eyes on me, using his magic to pull the blanket to cover my head.“ELIJAH!”“Yes, baby sister?”“Get this stupid thing off my head!” I snapped at him, and I could practically see him rolling his eyes on me, I couldn’t get the thing off myself because of HIS magic.“No”“Elijah” I said in a warning tone.“Y
Nathan:“Nathan…”“Don’t Kiara, just don’t” I said pacing around the chamber, my mind in rage at my mother, she had been here for less than a week and here I was planning on leaving.I walked out to the veranda feeling like I was suffocating when I was inside the chamber, the walls closing in on me only to feel my mate’s hand on my back, her lips softly touching between my shoulder blades.“Breathe Nathan, deep slow breaths” Kiara whispered softly, my wolf calming at the sound of her voice, I took a deep breath trying to calm myself for her sake, knowing that it was my anger talking right now, I knew that it was because I was used to being at peace on my own, the only tension that I had to deal with was the few hours I argued with father, therefor, this tension was something that I did NOT want to handle an especially not with mother, not when I was the one who fought to have her here by my side
Kiara:I swear convincing Elijah to let me get out of bed, let alone the chamber was like trying to move a pyramid.“You shouldn’t have been out of bed Kiara” he reminded for the millionth time since we left the castle.“If I didn’t get out of bed, then Nina wouldn’t be invited to the ball, and YOU would not have the chance to properly win her over” I said rolling my eyes as we walked toward the compound, it was true, I was still exhausted and my fever was nowhere near being low, even Nathan and Ashton had their doubts about me leaving the chamber, but after convincing Elijah, the other two princes were easily convinced.“That is the only reason I allowed you getting out of bed anyway, believe me, I would take you back to the palace should I see that your fever is rising more than it is right now, and I’ll manage to find a way to ‘win’ Nina myself” Elijah rolled his eyes making me lau
Nathan:“I’m yet to see you with your mate anywhere in the castle” Celine commented as we all walked out of the dining room, I rolled my eyes and stopped my tracks turning to face her.“I apologize greeting you myself, but as you’ve probably heard, I’ve been a little ill” I heard Kiara’s voice from behind me, I smirked and turned around to face my mate who had just arrived with Elijah, I wrapped my arm around Kiara and kissed her forehead, nodding at Elijah who returned the gesture.“Hello baby” I smiled.“Hi love” Kiara stood on her toes to kiss my cheek, feeling Celine’s eyes on us as she looked Kiara up and down, stopping at her neck when she noticed my canine’s mark she tensed.“How are you feeling?” I asked Kiara putting a hand on her neck checking her fever to find that it had dropped.“I’m fine, Nina rubbed an ointment to drop t
Kiara:The ball day couldn’t come quick enough, and I was now inside my and Nathan’s chamber getting dressed, Diana helping me wear my dress.The cut sleeved royal blue dress exposed my chest, revealing the line of my breasts slightly and my back, it was tight around my waist drawing my curves and loose around my hips, covering my feet as I walked being elegant and beautiful, I had wanted to cover the mark on my neck, but Nathan had insisted that I don’t, wanting everyone to see that I was his.My hair was already done, the curls were done nearly as a tiara rested on the crown of my head, a gift from King Ned for completing the mating with his son and officially being his, it turns out that completing a mating was a big thing in the wolf kingdom, something that was respected, even by the king, especially when it was his eldest son who had completed it.The door of the chamber was opened revealing a smiling Nathan, Diana stepped away from
Kiara:“We finally found someone that likes you in the kingdom, but then again she is of your same rank” Celine stated when she saw Nina and I.“I’m guessing this is bitch face” Nina stated causing Elijah to almost choke on his own saliva, he coughed as he tried to cover his laughter, Nathan chuckled tightening his arms around my waist not wanting me to speak, clearly enjoying Nina.“Hmm, classy” Celine rolled her eyes walking away from us, Nina smirked as she watched her, I raised an eyebrow at the girl who battered her eyelashes at me in an innocent manner.“I may be wearing a dress Kia, but that doesn’t mean that I’ll be changing my ways” Nina told me making me smile and loop my arm around hers as Nathan let me go when the queen and king approached us, Nathan kneeled down and kissed his father’s hand then hugged his mother who smiled at him, despite her not accepting me that much,
Nathan:“You are going to pay for this Celine” I whispered to the witch as we danced, she smiled in satisfaction running her finger on the back of my neck knowing that it was a feeling that I liked when we were younger, however now, it caused me to shudder wanting to break that finger with every passing second.“Oh, my dear Nathan, I have done nothing wrong, all we are doing is dancing, is that not allowed too? Or are you worried about your little princess being jealous, I’m sure she’ll understand the difference between me and her, especially when it comes to events like this one” Celine asked raising an amused eyebrow, I glared at her and pushed her arms away from me, an uneasy feeling settling in my chest, and it wasn’t because of the insult she just made, that was something she was to pay for later, but a feeling that something had happened had me looking around the room, Celine attempted to wrap her arms around me again but
Kiara:I laid my head on Nathan’s chest as he slowly ran his finger over my lower back, the action was one he knew calmed me down, he had taken off his shirt a while ago and was now laying on bed with me.“You don’t want to go back to the ball?” I asked Nathan who kissed the crown of my head, tightening his arms around me, his heartbeat calm as his chest slowly rose and fell with every breath he took, his wolf purring in delight, the feeling of his mate by his side making him go at ease.“No, the ball doesn’t matter, we did what we needed to do, Nina and Elijah are with one another, Ashton and Grace probably left ages ago anyway, Grace doesn’t like balls like this, and mother knowing that she had annoyed me wouldn’t be wondering where we are” Nathan said softly, I ran my finger over his chest drawing random patterns on it, softly letting my nails scratch him though, careful not to hurt him as I did.&l
