Michael’s POV
Mom offered me scotch right before I got into a royal party which is kind of suspicious but I drank it anyway because I really want to see what she has planned for tonight and I want to see who this Luciana is and why mom thinks that she’s my mate.
Mom led the way into the party, I followed closely behind her as we went into the party.
We moved through the crowd and I spotted dad with some group of people chatting and laughing happily and as we moved closer to the group, I was hit so hard with the delicious aroma of blueberry muffins.
Wait a minute, I hate blueberry muffins. I don’t even like blueberries, yet right now I feel so drawn to this scent, it feels like am going to die if I don’t follow the scent to the source.
The scent was so intoxicating that it pulled me in, dragging me closer and closer to one lady in particular.
As I got closer to her, she whispered the words that I’ve always wanted to say one day,
“MATE.” She muttered slowly with her eyes fixed on me.
I could see the happy smile on her face as she turns towards me, who the hell is she?? Did the moon goddess give me a second chance??
I tried to move forward in her direction but my limbs were so stiff that I couldn’t move forward no matter how hard I tried.
It’s Falcon. It’s got to be him. I just don’t understand why he’s acting this strangely today. For years now we’ve been searching continuously for our mate. Now that the moon goddess took pity on us and gave us a mate, he’s refusing to meet her.
“What the fuck is wrong with you man?? Why are you holding back??
Do you want our mate to think that we don’t want her??
Move your ass Falcon, or I swear am never going to forgive you if we end up losing her because of your stupid action today.”
“She’s not our mate Mike, she’s not Phoenix. I tried talking to her wolf but I couldn’t feel any connection man, no connection at all. How is she our mate when I don’t feel drawn to her?? Am never going to mate with that wolf. Her spells would never work on me!!!” he roared back in anger as he tried to come out and take control.
What the hell is he talking about a spell??? How can anyone use a spell on me, Prince Michael Angelo?? It’s so damn impossible.
Falcon must be sick or something, I’ll have to check in and see the pack’s doctor to have him checked out. That’ll have to be much later though, right now am going to accept our mate, whether he likes it or not.
I shut my eyes firmly, trying to take back control of Falcon because he looks so pissed and I know he’s going to kill someone if I don’t take control of the situation.
After putting Falcon at the back of my head, I looked up and saw the bewildered look on all their faces. It seems like they had seen me struggling to take control of my wolf, which is kind of awkward.
I gave them a warm smile as I walked toward my mate with a smile plastered on my face. Mom stood right beside her looking so nervous which made me a little bit curious but I ignored her nervous look and held the hand of the girl that attacks me like a magnet.
I could not dismiss the current that flowed between us. I could feel the tingles on my skin when I touched her. How can Falcon say that she’s not our mate when she smells and feels so fucking good?
He’s got to be sick in the head!!!!
I don’t care if he doesn’t scream the word MATE in my head, am still going to mate with her.
I kept holding her hands with my eyes locked on hers, enjoying the feel of her hands in mine. It feels so damn good and I just couldn’t take my eyes away from hers until mom spoke up to break our staring contest.
“Alright, enough staring already. Michael, this is Luciana. She’s the daughter of Alpha Robert Whyte of the Blue moon pack. We were hoping you’ll agree to mate with her. What do you think son, is she the one??” inquired mom?
“Of course mom. She’s my mate and I really can’t wait to mate with her mom.”
“Where have you been all my life??” I asked in awe as I pulled her into my arms and sniffed at her exquisite smell. It’s so amazing.
“No Mikky, it smells so bad!! She’s not our mate!! let me out Michael, Let me out right now!!” Falcon kept yelling and roaring loudly in my head. He’s trying so hard to break free and I just don’t know why.
“That’s fantastic son!! The party is starting already, how about you take her to the high table and introduce her to everyone??” mom asked excitedly. I nodded my head enthusiastically and she turned around immediately and ran inside to inform the king, I guess.
I could notice that mom’s nervousness had suddenly disappeared and she’s feeling a lot better now. I guess she was feeling nervous because she thought I would reject Luciana.
Hold on a minute,
If Luciana is my mate then why would mom think that I’ll reject her??
That is so weird!!
I ignored those thoughts as I heard as my father made the announcement, telling everyone that I’ve finally found my mate. The crowd started cheering which could only mean that it was time to go in with my mate so I took her hand in mine as we walked in hand in hand.
I was walking into the dining hall with Luciana in my hand when something snapped within me. I just can’t explain it because this has never happened before. Never in the history of werewolves has it been written that a Lycan price could not control his beast. But that’s exactly what happened to me today.
I don’t know how he did it, I just can’t explain if the powers I felt flowing within me were mine or maybe it came from somewhere else but I just can’t explain it. I felt this great power flowing within me and before I could say or do anything, Falcon broke free and took control, pushing me to the back, just like I did to him earlier.
The cheering had died down drastically as everyone is curious to know what was about to happen.
I felt him shifting and before I knew what was happening, he had Luciana by the throat as he lifted her off the floor, glaring daggers at her.
Somewhere in my head, I could hear the surprised gasp coming from around the room and I could also hear mom’s voice as she yells and pleads from the high table, begging me to let her go but I couldn’t do anything about it because I was no longer in control.
Falcon is in control and from the look of things, he’s out for blood.
“Am sorry my prince. It wasn’t me, I swear it. The Queen made me do it. The queen used the mate bonding spell on us. I didn’t know that it’s not going to work. Please forgive m…..”
Falcon ripped her head right off her shoulder before she could finish her lousy apology.
There was a loud cry from someone in the crowd. Am guessing that it’s from someone related to Luciana. I also heard a loud roar from behind me. I turned to follow the sound of the roar and I spotted a furious Alpha and some of his high ranked wolves standing behind him.
They looked very pissed but they couldn’t attack because they know that they are no match for me, besides, they are still in my territory.
Falcon stood glaring at them, daring them to make a move. They just stood afar and continued roaring angrily at me.
Falcon roared back at them too, scaring every wolf in the room with his loud roar.
Because I was so distracted by Luciana’s father, I didn’t hear dad shifting into his beast. The next thing I know, am flying across the room with so much force that my landing shattered the wall that I hit. Before I could get my bearing, dad was right on top of me, beating the crap out of me.
From the corner of my eyes, I could see Alpha Robert and his wolves approaching us. They must feel that they can attack me now because am down. I struggled to break out of dads grip and attack them but dad stopped me as he roared at them angrily,
“Back down Alpha Robert, we’ll discuss this later. Return to your various packs, this party is over.”
As he gave the order, he used his Aura to suppress every resistance, forcing everyone to comply with his order. Within a few minutes, the hall was empty.
I still lay on the floor with dad toppling over me. I was still struggling to break out of his grip when I heard him through our mind link,
“You foul!!! You have no idea what you’ve just done. Alpha Robert has a very strong alliance with many other packs. I am still trying to end the resistance of the rogues and the white wolf. Do you want to start a fucking war!!!!” he roared very loudly as he landed a mighty blow on me that sent me flying across the room once more.
I crashed and shattered another wall when I landed.
Dad came flying once more and he landed in front of me as he pinned me down and punch me severally on the face, venting his anger on me.
He was suppressing me with his Aura, making me compliant. Besides, I felt so weak and sad when I heard him talking about the rogues and the white wolves. It kind of reminded me of the day that my father killed Brandon Wellington.
Most especially, it reminded me of his daughter, my one true mate. If dad had not forced me to reject her, none of all this shit would be happening today.
As I thought about all this, I couldn’t help wondering if she could still be alive today.
Where could she be??
Is she also searching for me??
