Chapter 11

This whole ball is already shaping up to be a boring, mind- numbing event. I underestimated the
number of unmated she-wolves willing toe to the royal ball to be picked by me. It could have
been a good thing, the more she-wolves here the bigger the chances are that my fated mate is
amongst them. Only I have not been hit with that one scent. A scent that is so enticing it stops me
from thinking of anything else. When I entered I thought I caught a wisp of it. The smell of a lc on
a summer’s night. I have lost it now and since it wasn’t strong enough I am not even sure it was my
mate.
Then my Gemma and one of my best friends Gerald sniffs the air. When I look at him the look on his
face says it all. He has found his mate, and I want to be happy for them. I want my ‘best friends to
be happy. Still, I cannot help but feel a bit sad
that he is the one to find his fated mate at an event hosted for me to find mine. He walks over to her
not really saying much to us. Which I get if I were to find my mate I am not so sure I would be able
to calmly exin to the others what was happening. Now that it is happening to Gerald I have to
look away if only for a moment. Only for one second, I need that second topose myself. To
ster another fake smile on my face. In a minute or so I will walk up to the girl and greet her. I will
tell her she is wee in our pack. I will pretend like it is lovely meeting her even if my mind, heart,
and soul are all just focused on myst desperate attempt to find HER.
“Poor Gerald, by the look of what I suspect is her father poor Gerald is messing sh it up already”
Dillion chuckles earning him a chuckle from his mate. In turn, forcing me to look up

and see what they are talking about. And when I do it is here. The moment I’ve dreamed of since I
was fourteen. Lc floods all my senses, I hear a giggle and it sounds like summer raining.
“Dillion, her friend the short one she is my mate” I whisper more to myself than to Dillion even if I
just addressed him..
Finally having my dreamse true feels unreal. Moon Goddes, she was worth the wait though.
Even if she wasn’t my mate she stands out amongst the sea of almost desperate she-wolves. She
is wearing a gold dress, not as cheap-looking or revealing as most of the others are wearing. It is
alluring hugging all her curves, her fit b*dy. She is on the short side which I never knew was so
beautiful. I am a good eleven or twelve inches longer than she is. She will fit right into my arms, and
I am already imagining falling asleep with her small frame all snuggled up to me.
?”I’ll be dam ned that’s firecracker” Dillion mutters, sessfully
drawing my attention away from my stunning mate.
“Do you know her?” I ask him forcing myself to look at him for a second.
“Yes, she is the she-wolf that was about to be attacked by five other wolves. Some of them are over
there.” He says pointing to a group of she-wolves that ooze desperation from their
very pores.
It is all I need to know to look back at her. At the exact same moment, she looks at me. Eye contact
like I have always dreamed of, what I never dreamed about was my mate taking off running. Almost
as if she is scared of me, I don’t know what happened to her before. Quite frankly I do not care

either. I don’t care about the guests, my parents, or the gossiping that happens. All that matters to
me now is stopping her. Begging her to talk to me, to exin why she was running away from me.
My guards are closing in on her, and even some bystanders are about to intervene and stop her
from running away. Panic takes hold of me, as much as I want to get to here. Imaging other wolves
touching her is pi ss ing me off. Imaging her getting ever more upset because she is caught like a
common criminal makes me feel even more unsettled. It’s that same fear, that panic that makes me
use my Alpha voice without even thinking about it. Ordering everyone in the room to let her go, to
not stop her, not touch her in any way. Perfect this means my parents know now. I never used my
Alpha’s voice before. As far as I am concerned an Alpha should only use
that as ast resort. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
Dam n, my mate is fast. Up until now, I figured I was in good shape with how much I train but
keeping up is hard. Let alone gain on her. I call after her, she falters for a second, so I know she
heard me. Still, she keeps up raining, going even faster before shees to a full stop in front of
the fountain Dad had custom-made for my mother. Oh the irony in that, maybe I will tell herter.
There are other things more important things for me to focus on. To talk to her about. Trying to show
her she does not have to fear me I slow down attempting to walk up to her casually. Before I can
even reach her she speaks to me. Her voice is a sweet melody but her words are like an ice pick
stabbing my heart.
“I am done running, I just didn’t want to be rejected in public again” Dillion mentioned something
about her telling him she was rejected.

But it is the sadness in her voice that seems about to break. The way her eyes are downcast not
even willing to make eye contact. And my heart aches for my poor mate. The wolf rejecting her did
me the biggest favor of my life. To do so he clearly hurt my poor mate immensely and for that, I
want to punish him,
“Why in the hell would I reject you, when the Moon Goddess herself blessed me with you? Not to
mention the fact that you are stunning, and an amazing runner. I came up to you because I am
dying to leam every little detail about you”
She looks up at me tears filling her eyes. If it weren’t for her pretending to not be bothered. They
would have streamed over her beautiful face already. Her face was littered with the most beautiful
freckles I have ever seen. To justy under the moon, counting her freckles k*ssing every single
one as I imprint them on my brain to never forget them. Sounds like a dreame true. All I have
to do first is show her how serious I am about not rejecting her. Only a fool would receive such a
blessing from the Mo onGo ddess herself and reject it. Reject her. I got lost in my own thoughts
making my way to her slowly. Unsure of what to tell her, of where to start. She takes a tentative step
back and answers the question I didn’t need answered.
“Because you are a Prince, the Crown Prince to be exact, your mate will eventually be the Queen.
The Luna of all Luna’s. I’ve been told once before that I was unfit to be someone’s mate because
one day he will be an Alpha. So I know I am even more unfit to be your mate. Besides, I don’t think
it is possible for me to have a second chance mate. My mate didn’t die, he is very much alive
nning to choose my tormentor as his Luna. This is all just a mistake because the Moon Go ddes
does make mistakes and she keeps on making them with me ” She

tells me looking deted.
All I need to do is show her I am not going to reject her. The problem is that it just became painfully
obvious that this won’ t be an easy task.
“He was a fool, just don’t make any decisions yet okay? Give me a chance to get to know you. And
let you get to know me, I’ll make it work with my parents. Your friends, the girl you came here with.
She is my Gemma’s mate, you can stay here for a few days or weeks as long as you want to just
give me a chance. Give us a chance please” I almost whine as Conan is wanting to take over,
before holding my breath and waiting for her answer.
