The person behind me was the one who made A swallow down the rest of her words: Is my Father,
who by the looks of it is very pissed. Maybe he is angry with us for causing a scene. Even if it felt like
we were doing a great job in keeping our little spat hidden. If it was a spat, I made a mistake I knew it
the moment A got me away from the situation. She was right when she med me for my
willingness to make life-changing decisions for all our people out of pure spite. Pride swelled in my
chest, knowing that A put the benefits of our people above those of herself. Above her own honor. I
still hated it Alpha Rob, and I’ll be waiting for the day I can get back to him for this. First I need to
handle this issue with my father though.
He states A is not the one at fault here, and he wants her to stay behind. When hepliments her
for acting like a true Luna already the pride swirling in my chest grows brighter. He is right, every Luna
is different. Every Queen is different but A undoubtedly is a wolf who others can look up to. The one
thing every Luna including the Queen has is their ability to smooth conflicts over. A good Luna always
thinks on behalf of the entire pack often less emotional and instinct-driven than the Alpha is. She
showed everyone she was just that. Now I know the little spat we had is not the reason Father is mad
with us I know what it is. He must have overheard me threaten to wage war on a guest, an Alpha. With
how my day has been going. With A getting this closer to me. Kissing me back, with her scolding me
like the true Queen she is. I was ready for everything. Father would say or do to me. He would be
reasonable as he always was.

A being on her own hardly knowing anyone, in a room full of unmated wolves, some who don’t even
respect the boundaries of a matebond if the mating process hasn’t beenpleted yet. It made me
nervous, rolling his eyes Dad suggested I mindlink someone I trust to keep herpany.
“She is having a drink with your mother, they seem to be enjoying themself” Dillion mindlinks me back
after I ask him to keep an eye on A.
My parents are fond of her. Dillion had already stated he would love her to be our queen before he
even found out she was my fated mate. If things between the two of us kept going as smoothly as they
went today, the future would be bright. For the first time since I turned fourteen. I felt like I had an actual
chance at the happiness I had been dreaming of most of my life.
“Are you even listening, there is no reason for you to be smiling like that. And just sit down like I told
you to” Father barks at me.
Pulling me out of my daydreaming. I hadn’t even noticed that we made it to his study. Or that he sat
down at his desk and was still waiting for me to take a seat across from him.
“Sorry Dad, it is just things between me and A that have been going so well today,” I remark
expecting him to smile.

He didn’t his expression stayed stoic with a hint of anger. Disappointment even and it was the first time
I realized how bad it was what I did. Losing control the way I did with Alpha Rob was not like me at all. I
never wanted to turn in this overprotective Alpha male. With A, I could not help it though.
Father isn’t impressed by the fact that me and A have been doing so great today. He was when we
were chatting together as our girls went shopping. He tells me he would be happy about this under
different circumstances and I know he is being honest with me. Before he met A he would mention
the six months we agreed on. Ever since meeting her, he stopped bringing it up. To me that was a sure
sign of him liking her, so I know he is genuine in saying he feels bad he can’t be happy about that now.
Suddenly the gravity of what I have done is clear. If Dad overheard me most of the wolves of the party
have. In a year I will take over the throne and I cannot be seen as a power-hungry prince. Quick to start
a war over what they will see as a key mate who is not even willing to settle down with me yet.
“I am sorry Dad, but he was mocking A for being small. Calling her a do-over mate what if he said
things like that about Mom” I asked him.
Not because I wanted to shift me, this was all me and I knew it. Still, I wanted Dad to know I was
provoked. That I wanted to protect my mater save her reputation and most of all avoid her feeling bad
about herself.
“Well, your mother has made grown wolves cry before with that sharp tongue of hers. So probably
console Alpha Rob” Dad jokes, lighting the
mood

Before continuing on a more serious note “We can’t all be as witty as your mother is. There are other
things you can do with words too. I would have been more than okay with you verbally putting him in
his ce. Ask him to respect your mate. Or point out how hecks the ability to see what makes her so
amazing. Make a joke about how you like how he needs to bow down even deeper now to pay his
Queen-to-bet respect. Just don’t threaten him with a war like a damn idiot”
He is right and I want to know why I am starting to feel so protective of A. More so because I am
sure she doesn’t need it. Not really, the scars on her back scare me. Not for myself but for her. They
anger me, and maybe it is just that anger simmering, floating at the surface. But as much of a dick
Alpha Rob is, he had nothing to with her scars or her jaded history. There was no reason to go all out
like I did. Deciding to make the most of my time away from the party now I ask Dad about it.
“Some Alpha’s grow overprotective when they have notpleted the mating process yet. Or when
their mate has been hurt before. Since both situations are the case with A that most likely causes
most of your protectiveness. Besides you didn’t protest as you left her behind. So you are still doing
okay” He tells me still a bit strict and irritated I choose
this moment to ask him about it.
He knew when we met earlier today I felt the same. He was right but I was on cloud nine over the fact
that A was finally opening to me. I wanted to let him know that his tip to trade in the Porsche and
donate the rest of the money to a charity. Made all the difference and that is what I wanted to tell him
so I opted to only gush about the good keeping

my worries to myself. It brought me nothing, and all of this could have been easily avoided. Or I would
at the very least be aware of my mood. And why I felt so protective all of a sudden.
With nothing left to say, we get up to go back to the ballroom. I cannot. wait to reassure A. Dance
with her again and have a fun night. This is the first time ever I managed to slip away to a quiet room
during a party. Only to be itching to get back out there to have fun. Even Dad chuckles. at my
eagerness to go back. Joking he should have hired A as my social skill tutor. I’m d we managed
to solve our fight if we could even call it that. But when I finally spot A amongst the crowd, the smile
falls from my lips. Mother is nowhere in sight all I see is A and a huge wolf almost running over to
her. She sees him, and instead of backing away or asking for help her face breaks open in a wide grin.
And her arms open wide to hug him, I don’t know if I feel jealous or heartbroken over the fact that she
is giving another wolf what I had to fight to get. Trying to keep my father’s words in my mind I make my
way over, scared to find out if A and I still have a chance on a future together.
