All Chapters of Choosing my fated mate- the princess games: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I found my way to the library, hoping to read up on the mate bond. Thick leather bounded books filled the heavy oak shelves. Hundreds written on the instant bond at 18. only one of the other sides of bonding. I picked the book up before finding a secluded area. I pulled my knees against my chest as I began reading. 'Many believed the mate bond to be an instant thing. We were told that we would know one our birthdays, and anything after that wouldn't be a true bond. Recently a phenomenon called the Love Bond has been discovered. it is believed to be a mate bond created through compatability. The first case was of a young couple from Denmark. They fell in love the human way, when one day they awoke to an undeniable true mate bond. It is said to be the strongest bond, the pairing is meant to be. A recent study found 1 in 10 mates were hypothetically incompatible. There is belief of multiple bonds. Typically identified in fraternal siblings which are genetically identical. however the

I couldn't wait to see my family. At the week mark we were allowed to visit our homes for the weekend. I went to see Grey after finishing packing a small bag. "I'm going to miss you" he confessed"it's the weekend. you will be fine. a week ago you didn't even know me" I laughed. He rolled his eyes dramatically, sighing "yes but you know that doesn't matter" "it's 2 days... I will be back before you know it..." ---I was dropped off by my house, the dusty road leaving a haze in the air. I knew noone would be home, on a Saturday we would usually go and visit my Aunt Clara so I had a bit of time to be alone in my home. I found the spare key which was hid in the old broken plant pot before opening the door. The familiar scent hit my nose, nothing had changed. I don't know what I expected, it had been a week! My mothers knitting sat draped across the arm of her armchair, my fathers slippers placed neatly by the fireplace. Toys were scattered around, Emmet was never one for clearing up

I fell back into routine very easily. Grey had gone away for a few days and would be returning later today. I used the time to read further books. I'd spoke to the Queen about the me and Grey situation, she had given me some more books that she read when it happened to her. I'd settled under a quiet tree in the afternoon sun, my box of cookies next to me as I began reading.'The phenomenon is still largely unknown. it is possible to encounter ones true mate during the building process. It is unknown and not spoken of often. But ultimately the choice is to the reader. There is an opportunity... one where they may choose what they want the most... the mate assigned to them or someone they are made for? this author is in favour of the latter... Humans get to fall in love... so why can't we as wolves get the same luxury... love is a great thing... and whilst some may feel it with their mate... love of the pure kind is an experience we should all deserve'I closed the book, placing it on

After our dinner, we took a stroll along the dimly lit marina. Grey held tightly onto my hand, a happy smile on his face. "I don't want tonight to end.." I muttered, resting my head against his arm."I know.." he replied quietly "so reject him as soon as possible" "part of me is all for that... but my wolf is tunnel vision... it's her mate.." it felt like I was in for a battle between myself. "shall we get back to the palace?" he asked as we neared the car. I nodded, before we slid into the sleek black car. ---The next morning I quickly dressed in a oversized tshirt dress, before throwing on a denim jacket and a pair of high topped sneakers. I had chosen for now, to stay in my room. Until I had chosen, I had to remain as I was... I didn't want special treatment. I had asked for an extended weekend to return home. I needed to spend some time with Alex... too see if we even got on. "I'll miss you" Riley spoke as she helped me pack a small bag. "it's a few days Riley" I chuckled.

Everything had become too much. As soon as we got back I decided to go for a run. I shifted behind the trees before running for a long time. I'd set up a route a few days ago, and had hidden a small bag with some clothes in so I could sit in human form to overlook the hills. My wolf was angry, she didn't care about anything but being with her mate... yes she had started to like Grey, but to her Alex was our mate. I shifted, quickly slipping on the oversized hoodie. I'd found the perfect spot, it overlooked the town, the sun perfectly highlighting the old buildings. "Amelia?" a voice appeared behind me. I turned, greeting the voice "Ezra?" Ezra and Theo emerged from the trees, both looking as though they had been on human runs. I never understood why some wolves chose to also run as humans, it's so much easier... so much more fun as a wolf. "what are you doing out here?" Theo spoke, before sitting on the soft grass next to me. "I needed a run... and I needed space..." I spoke, my
