Frederick Quinn's POV

The only reason I asked Alandra to arrange our night after a month is to give her the time she asked to prepare herself for our night together.

Doesn't this one month give her enough time to prepare?

I hope it does because this is the most I can do. One month is already a long time enough for anyone to get adjusted to the new life they are gonna face.

A small smirk crossed my lips at the thought that she was the only one to ask for "time to prepare". Every other concubine wanted the night to be arranged on the night of their arrival and never let me walk out of the room after I entered.

They did everything in their hand to get my attention, but I had more important work that I ignored everything. But when it came to her, it was not the case. Everything felt so different with her. Maybe because she is my mate. 

Even though I am with my Queen, only her thoughts are crossing my mind, and I can't quite think about her. About last night's events and the way I felt instant anger and disgusted to get a human as a Mate but everything changed in a few seconds, which just made me understand how strong a mate bond can be. 

I was so angry at the fact that I even got a human as a mate after I mentally prepared myself that I would never have a mate. But every bit of anger turned into something so new the moment my lips met hers. 

Her beautiful soft lips pressed into mine and everything felt so different. It was so magical, so beautiful, and so good. I never thought kissing could be this good because I never liked kissing or should I say, she was the first one that I ever kissed, and with her, I didn't even wanna take my lips away from hers. 

She tasted so sweet, so good, and just like mine. All I can think about is her. Everything about her attracts me to the point, that I have to force myself to concentrate on my work after getting back to my office. Shaking her thoughts off my head when I heard Alanadra's voice filled with shyness, "Do you wanna stay the night?". 

I came back to reality and looked at Alandra's beautiful face, looking at me with her beautiful expecting eyes while standing in front of her room, inviting me in with opening her door for me to walk in.

If it was before, I could have just walked in because I can't reject Alandra, but right now, something feels different. My feet were not moving and I couldn't go in because of one thing, that is my human mate. I can only think about the human mate I got and the kiss that we shared last night. 

"Alandra...." before I could say anything, she cut me off with her eyes looking at me with a slight fear, and said, "I am asking because you know..... we are the king and the Queen, and still.... we didn't do anything to have a hair ..... We should at least start putting some effects on it.... Shouldn't we?". 

I stared at her eyes filled with fear of rejection and pain but still an expectation. I took a sigh and asked, turning my eyes away from hers, "I know what you are saying, but isn't it too early to think about it?". 

"Federick.... but we have been married for 50 years! The only time we did it was on the wedding night and not even once after that! Don't you think this is the time to try for a baby?" She whispered, taking a step closer and looking into my eyes with the same expression. 

It is getting harder to not react but right now, I am so sure that I can't do anything so I took another sigh and said "How about this, let's do it after I handle the problem with the ministers and then we can start?". 

Her expectations disappeared and the pain and regret were the only things that remained in her beautiful eyes for asking me, but she nodded her head, understanding my words, and whispered, "Fine, I am good at waiting, you know". 

My eyes didn't leave hers for a few seconds, but then I closed my eyes, turning into my wolf farm in front of her eyes without saying a word. 

Then I raised my head to look at her beautiful face filled with confusion, as she asked, "Why did you turn into your wolf form?".

I stared at her for a few seconds with the same question, because I didn't even know why. I didn't reply to her question and just ran out of the palace, leaving her in confusion.

I didn't care where my legs took me, but I followed, feeling the air, trying to clear out everything that had been running on my head. If it was before, I could just walk in and do as Alandra has asked because that's my biggest responsibility, along with taking care of this kingdom. 

I should produce a hair with Alandra, but why can't I do that? Why the hell did I ask for time .... Ask for time...?

My feet come to a halt, as the thoughts of my human mate run in my head, filling it with only her. Every fucking thing about her. It had just been a day, and she started to play with my heart and my brain like crazy, filling me with her thoughts. 

My eyes widened as I finally realized that I had come straight to the veranda behind the palace where she was staying. 

I stared at her palace for a few seconds before shaking my head, thinking "I came here just to relax and it has nothing to do with her!". 

Then I walk to the tree and look at the beautiful river to relax and calm myself down. 

I lay down on the grass and felt the cool breeze, but suddenly, my heartbeat increased as I heard her beautiful voice... 

"Is that you in wolf form, Mr. Gard?".
