Did she to say that she wanted me to be her mate and she doesn’t want anyone touching me?
That was funny, seeing her surprise with her own words. Maybe the bond is starting to grow even if she didn’t know that she’s my real mate.
But even though I was surprised by what she said, I still had to make sure she deserved the position of queen.
I almost touch her and kiss her if it wasn’t my iron clad self-control she will surely know that I’m really her mate. I look into her brown eyes and kissable lips. I bet no one had ever taste it before. Her frame fits to mine and I can feel her heartbeat getting faster when I’m near.
This trick of Moon Goddess surely kills the heck out of me.
Damn this mate bond. It’s started to make me feel attached to her. The moment I saw that Loui is going to throw the dagger in her heart I automatically panicked. I jump from my office window into the battle field and catch it in time.
I swear if she does it again, I’m going to kill her.
I can still remember the way she dodged all Loui’s attack and manage to hit her face. She has a hidden fighting prowess. After all, she was a fighter and the daughter of an Alpha. She has the ability to win this tournament.
I look in the window. Her Vanilla rose scent still lingers in my office. It calms my body after being stress in finding this Alpha Rouge. It seems he manage to create himself an army of rogues.
One of my problems is how they stole gold from the mining area, it looks like they have a spy here in the palace.
‘My king, rogues in the southeast border, they attacking one of our candidate in the tournament.’ Tyler said.
‘What the hell is that female fighter doing there and who is she?’
‘It’s Katharina from Aluri—-‘ I did not let him finish his words. My wolf is getting frustrated and worried, knowing her mate is in danger. I almost shift while making my way but I control myself not to let it happened. My wolf will surely take over and might kill any man near his mate even my own fighters. When that happened, I did not know how to explain my behavior to everyone.
I reach them in no time, searching for my mate. I saw her positioning herself in the middle while surrounded by seven rogues. Why is she alone there and why is my fighters are just watching?
‘What the hell are you all doing? Why aren’t you attacking?’ I said to all of them.
“Zeus calm down, Katharina told us to stand still and let her deal those rogues. It helps her. She said that it will be part of her training.” Tyler explained.
But I didn’t concentrate in his explanation. I look at her and admired her confidence in the middle of seven wolves. I swear if anyone try to hurt or I see any wound in her body, I will kill them myself.
My wolf is also waiting for them to attack. He wanted also to see his mate fight.
“You think you can beat us all bitch?” One of the rogues said.
I growl at the word he called her.
“I don’t have to think, I know I can beat you so stop chatting and give me your best shot.” She said.
In her words they all attack her at once but she didn’t even flinch and just closed her eyes and as if I am a watching a movie in slow motion she started to fight.
She dodges all of their attack at once and found her way to kick their butts. She holds the rogue neck and twist it while his feet hitting the other one. She lunges into the other rogue and in just a twist of her hand he cut the neck of it, then she turns to dodge and grab the hand of the rogue who attack her from behind and broke it in an instant. Now there are three wolves alive, she looks at them smirking.
It’s something I don’t know about Kath, she really is a fighter.
“Stop staring at me you imbecile! Attack.” She shouted.
They all look at her and run.
Oh no! No one rogue leaves my land alive.
“Tyler, kill them.” I said then Tyler and the other warriors followed the three rogues who’s trying to escape.
She looks into my way and bow slowly. Inside of me is getting attached to her and I admire her strength and courage to fight those wolves.
“Go back to the castle and clean yourself. Dinner will be served soon.” I said to her.
She just shrugged and run back into the pack house. I know she become tense in my presence but I don’t know why?
‘Zeus, we got them and they are all dead.’ Tyler
‘Clean the mess and we’re going to have a meeting later. I need to properly schedule the guarding of the borders of the castle.’ I said before cutting him and follow my mate back to the castle.
I go straight into my room and with my surprise my mother is waiting for me.
“Where have you been Son?” He asked.
“I’ve been out sorting some rogue’s problem, why?” She asked.
“Your mate, do you think she can win the fight?” She worriedly asks.
“I think she can, why?” I said.
“Because I like her, I don’t want you to marry those girls; they are not worthy of it.” She said.
“How can you say that, you don’t even know?” I say.
“She’s the one that the Moon Goddess paired to you. She knows everything and I know there’s a reason behind everything.” She said patting me in the shoulder before leaving.
Why is my mother so desperate for me to accept Katharina as my mate? And why do I feel that she’s hiding something from me? Is she sick? Or Dad did something wrong to her? I need to know.
******
All fighter’s candidate is here except Kath. I look at the blonde and she seem not interested in telling me why, Also, my mother is not here as well as my Dad. What the hell is happening here?
“Tyler, where is the Queen and Father?” I ask.
“The Queen said that she’ll be eating inside her room because she’s not feeling well. Your Father is out with no reason said.” Tyler answered.
“How about Katharina? Why is she not here?” I ask making no emotion at all.
Tyler looks surprise at my question. “That is…. I don’t know, I don’t even bother to know.” He said.
He doesn’t know that Katharina is my mate. I will tell him next time but right now I need to see my Mother and look how she is.
I leave them and go straight to her room but before I can open it I heard a voice that is surely familiar to me.
“My Queen, this food is delicious how can they melt in my tongue?” Kath.
“You’re funny my dear. Well I guess our chefs here is quite good.” Mother said.
“My Queen, why did you ask me to join you here? Is there something wrong?” She asked.
“Nothing at all, I just want you to know that I want you to do your best at the fight. I talk to all of you but I can see that you’re the one who fits to get my crown.” Mother said.
She chocked in what my mother said.
“I-I don’t know what to say.” She said.
“Katharina can I ask you something?”
“Yes, of course my Queen.”
“Do you like my son?” Mother really does ask her about how she feels about me.
I don’t know but I think Mother knows that I am here and listening to them. She really did this to me? I can’t move and leave at the same time. Deep inside of me, I want to hear what she will say.
