Cindy’s POV
“Are you ready?” Alder asked. Just as he promised, we were on our way to L. A. I couldn’t wait to go back and see those leeches. Lincoln has set up everything, and I am sure they will be shocked when I appear before them.
The videos of them killing me will be proof of their crime. I will make sure to put them behind bars if not kill them. I have no concrete evidence about how they killed my father, and I just hope that what they said in my apartment will be a big help. “I was born ready,” I replied, and he looked at me. I could feel that he was worried, and I don’t know why. There was nothing for him to worry about me, though.
We are in his private plane, and he is really the King. I was seated beside him because he didn’t want me to sit away from him. It must be because of the mate bond. This time, Charles was with us, and Lance would be handling the palace while they were away.
“You are not going to act rashly, OK?” He reminded me, and I didn’t want to reply because he had told me about it many times already. I know what I need to do, and even if he is around, he cannot stop me when the time comes. “Clover,” he called when I still hadn’t said anything. Gosh, do I really need to get used to that name? Will I be able to get back in my own body and hers as well?
“Fine,” I just said so he would shut his mouth.
“I am only worried about you. I didn’t want anyone to cause you any harm because of your action, so you had to be careful and think before you made any moves,” he said, but that didn’t stop me from feeling mad at him. I had already told him about me, and yet he was still hesitant about my capabilities.
“There’s nothing for you to be worried about; I know what I am doing, and my plan has been set.” I replied, “Just let me handle things.” I added. He sighed and didn’t say anything. We will be landing in a private hangar, and someone will pick us up from there. He told me that we would be staying at the hotel near the hospital they owned.
Yes, he owns it. I never thought that he and his family owned the most famous hospital in the country. They owned private hospitals around the country and pack doctors, and the royal doctors had their training there. Every pack has its own schools, but everything related to medicine will be sent to the school affiliated with the hospitals that the palace owned.
He explained it to me while we waited for this day. He informed me about other things, and when I asked him why he was telling me those, he replied, “You’re the queen, so you have to know everything about the pack.” I kept myself silent. I had no intention of staying with him, but after he marked me, I couldn’t help myself from coming to him.
Mate bond is really not good for me because it didn’t allow me to do what I wanted. And that is to leave Alder. He is not bad at all, but I still couldn’t accept the fact that I was mated with him. I mean, I am human. There was nothing wrong with being mates. Actually, it was a lot better than marriage. Mated couples were very sweet with each other, and they loved one another so that they could die if their other half died.
“Your Highness, what does your friend do?” Charles asked,
“You can call me Cindy or Clover, but not Your Highness.”
“But you are our queen, and it was just right to call you that way.”
“What would people say if they heard you calling me that way?” I asked. Alder was listening to us. He must have been tired of trying to make me do what he wanted, only to be ignored.
“OK, but if it was just us, let me call you that way,” Charles said, and I nodded.
We arrived at the hotel, and I felt tired, so I decided to rest first. Alder woke me up, and I was still feeling sleepy, so I looked around. “We’re at the hotel,” he said, and I nodded. I was about to get up when he stopped me and kissed me. Fu**, he is starting this and will only leave me hanging. I know that, but I can’t stop myself from responding.
He is such a good kisser. Mike also kissed me, but I didn’t feel the same way. I always end up being wanton with him, while with Mike, I would want to stop it immediately. It made me realize that I didn’t love Mike at all. Wait, does that mean I love him? No, it can’t be.
“What do you want to eat? It was already dinner time,” he said after,
“What? I slept that long?” I asked in surprise. I wanted to start the plan as soon as we arrived, but it was impossible.
“Get up and be ready; we will eat in the restaurant,” he said and helped me get up. When I looked at him, I saw that he had already changed his clothes.
“You didn’t sleep?” I remember to ask,
“I do, but I was a light sleeper.” he replied, “Now, go and get ready. I’m starving,” he added, so I went to the bathroom. I didn’t have the luxury of looking around our hotel room out of tiredness, and now that I’m in the bathroom, I can say that we are in a Luxurious Hotel. It is also the most expensive hotel in the country, and Michelin graded their restaurant.
When I’m done, I take the robe and wear it. Alder saw me naked, touched, and felt me and had done everything he wanted to do with it, but I am still shy about him seeing me this way. He looked at me when I got out of the bathroom and looked for my luggage. “Our clothes were in the closet,” he informed me, so I went there and grabbed a pair of jeans and a tube blouse. It was cold, but I didn’t bother with it because I was already a werewolf.
“Where are you going?” he asked when I started walking back to the bathroom.
“Getting dressed,” I replied.
“Get dressed here; no need for you to hide from me.” I didn’t want to, but his look told me I needed to do what he had just said.
I don’t know where I got the courage, but I started taking off the robe and dressed with our eyes locked on each other. He got up from bed and walked closer to me when I was almost done. He capped my face and kissed me like he always does, and I responded as usual. Damn this bond.
He didn’t deepen our kiss and stopped before he couldn’t and helped me fix myself, then took a shawl in the closet, “Charles is waiting for us; let’s go.” he said and took my hand before we got out of the bedroom and into our hotel room.
We were in the restaurant and on our way to our table when I saw the two people that I wanted to bury 1000 feet under. Mike and Lin were on their way out and happily talking to each other, and I was sure they hadn’t noticed me, so I intentionally bumped into the b****, which made her fall down. Of course, I already anticipated it, plus I am a lot stronger now. It didn’t even hurt me at all.
“Look where you were going,” I said, looking down at her.
