Chapter eight
"Look the Prince has arrived"
a voice between the crowd yelled as soon he saw the pro and immediately everyone's eyes turned to looked, eyeing on the three males who just arrived on their motorcycles's every move bowing their heads down showing the respect they have for their crown prince As a line between people was made for the three walk on peacefully, the boys got of their motorcycles as they took their helmets off and looked around ruffling his hair softly the prince himself smiled at his people, showing them that he really adored them all as he didn't say anything Calmly without any word the two boys started walking Behind the prince after he walked on toward the castle.
Eleven slim, square towers piercing the sky are the first you see of this castle connected by large, vast walls made of yellow stone.
Windows almost same size
as a normal door covered with trees is seen from far away yet here so closely they told stories no one but they could describe.
The forest outside of the castle fallows the voices of the little pups as they nakedly ran around a big three after they happily completed their shifting process today, The softness of their laughters didn't miss to catch the prince attention for few seconds as he turned around and watched them with smile across his lips but he brushed it of as soon he stood out side of the big door wish immediately opened.
"Your highness!"Two women say at the same time Bowing down their heads as they where standing at each side of the big door opening it as boys enter "ma ladies!" the prince says gently nodding at them without any other word being said, with that the three kept on walking on before the two friends stoped walked after locking eyes and shared a small nod with each other in agreement over something
"we'll see you around, your-.....highness" says nick completely making joke out of the guitar boy as they turned around leaving the boy who just rolled his eyes at them they won't ever learn will they? He asked himself laughing softly as he knew they were just playing with him but he didn't have the energy to argue with them now so he simply kept on walking toward his room which was just few good more steps away from where he was standing now.
After opening the door to his room immediately the prince jumped on his bed and he sighed softly "ah I wish I could just sleep all day uhhq" he mumbled annoyed under his breath but got up to shower soon after that, he knew his mother must be waiting for him somewhere already and
to be honest he, himself is at
this point is carving for cold shower.
As soon as Nathan came out of the bathroom with a towel around his private part and another in his hand, knock on his room door earned his attention "come in" he calmly said as he thought it must be those who are supposed to help him with the clothes, not caring about the fact that he was half naked at the moment and right after the prince voice was no longer heard again the door opened immediately reviling two woman around 40s who where holding as he thought the clothes he was supposed to wear to wherever now
"we are gonna help you with these if you Allow us you highness" one of the woman said as her head was facing down and the other one also kept her head down,
In shock both women's eyes widened quietly as they heard the prince sighing loudly beside them wondering if
they by any chance said something wrong to upset their crown prince "I think I'll do it myself today, hand those over to me please" he said reaching out his hand out for the clothes surprising the two elders but they knew better than to question or to talk back to the prince so they handed over everything to him without meeting his eyes as he turned away from the two who were still not looking at him waiting to be dismissed out of sight "you may leave now" the prince says nicely to them without looking and the two bowed one last time before leaving the room just like
their prince wished.
A second after they left the prince took a moment to inhale deeply and exhale calmly as he looked at himself though the big mirror hanging on the wall,
"Funny how there
is nothing is there" he said after a moment of staring at his own eyes looking for something he can't find
inside his minds maybe
his eyes knew! He thought hopelessly. But as expected nothing is there.
The male wrapped up his own thoughts as he pointlessly looked away from the mirror and started to get dressed.
"Your highness are you there?" A boyish calm voice was heard after a knock broke though the prince's room door scaring the shit out of him for a minute as it was really quiet in inside the room and the sudden noise was not expected
"yes? What is it?" Nathan asked as he brushes his hair at the moment "the queen wishes to se you at the dining room in five minutes sir" the male behind the door replied to the prince as he nods "please tell M- ahmm I mean the queen
I'll be there soon!" The prince says calmly as he heard
"as you wish your highness" as reply Before the male walked away to inform the queen about the prince's word and the prince puts on the last piece of clothes he needs on and walked out of his room
a moment after of wondering what his mom seriously wanted to talk about this time.
Soon after arriving at the dining room, the door to it open as the prince had his both arms behind his back walking few steps in before
He frowned after he found more than his mom in the room "you came!" his mom
said relieved after she saw him stand at the door it's not at the time this boy does as asked, but looks like he didn't way to put up a fight to stay today "of cause I did
mom, you basically forced
someone to get me!" The prince said smiling at her as
he rolled his eyes unnoticeably and started walked more into the room "and what is this? I thought you wanted to just talk to me?" He asks confused the queen wanted to talk to him right? Then why isn't it just her in the room?
"Come on stop questioning now and get you ass over here" the queen says bit strictly yet the softness in her voice could make the darkest place in the ocean shine, Nathan moves to sit in his regular chair which kept distance from the two that
sat on the table before him
"you know who this
it right son?" The mom asked smiling a little bit at the prince and the male looked at her as if she grown another head
"off cause I do!" He said in duh tone looking at the smiling woman beside his mom and then look at his mom as he spoke"And now my only question is what's going on?" He finally ask looking at his mom the at the other woman weirdly but not rudely "we have a lot to talk about son and I'm sure you won't like it at all but I want you to sit still and liste-" Her words where cut of short as soon as the prince word was heard "I swear to god mom if this is about me getting married again I'll leave immediately" Nathan says as a warning getting up his chair as he was ready to walk out any minute now he didn't want to deal with another marriage talk anymore he had enough of them but what his mom said next was enough to turn his vision upside down "no this isn't about marriage son but something beyond it, it's
About your mate!" she said in low voice as she really didn't want to have this conversation with the male, she know she would like it but it's for the best everyone knew that now, no matter how low her voice came out it was enough for the prince to hear as he looked at his mom with red eyes as if she just betrayed him but his mom and the other woman didn't miss to see his pain that sparkles though his eyes which he was fast to shake off and everything he showed on his face to emotionless "mate? Who's mate mom? I don't have a mate did you forget?" He asked chuckling fakely at his mom still not sitting back to his chair as he wanted to leave immediately now he was sure he wouldn't like where this conversation is going, he knew he didn't like when people talked about this whole 'mate' thing with him "do u have the permission to go mom?" He asks Calmly even tho he knew his mother to well and as expected the queen was fast to reject that "no son this is important you don't understand you need to listen" she said in worried voice confusing the prince even more, what's she so worried about? "what's so important mom Huh? you haven't said anything important here
you already know about me not having a mate so why are we gonna talk about that huh?" The prince said raising his voice a little bit as his anger were completely ready to take over him but he got hold of himself he couldn't lose his control, he knew how much trouble that would cause if he did "Son just listen to us just this once! Please let us explain a important thing to you mm?" the queen Said as as she was looking at her son who clearly screamed broken she was feeling bad to see how much being mateless for this long was killing her son
and what's hurting her the most as a mom is how her sweet talkative baby turned into emotionless boy who never talks, who might be here but in reality is long lost somewhere around where the mountains ends in mind "listen you? what's there to say mom? Is there even something more I need to know other than that my own mate who didn't realize who I even was mom! Is this here you tell me that I don't have a mate? Go ahead tell me it's not like I haven't heard it many
times already" Nathan said chuckling softly In between as he screams out his pain two he still not using his alpha voice people around him in This room was completely weaker than him and he knew that " Maybe I forgot to tell you mom but I don't care, I don't care about this whole damn Mate thing anymore I'm totally over it now and I hate myself for having this much of faith in that excuse of goddess for making me wait for someone who basically don't even exist" he says not knowing why he is even speaking to start with but he knew his mind had enough of everything he always keeps inside and this is just few words he wanted to say out loud one day and today just happened to be that day, he sighed sharply as his mind was slowly dances in the pain of his words but right after a second his eyes widened as his throat started to get dry, did he just curse and yell in front of his own mom and another royalty?
"I'm-" he starts to form an apologize but his voice didn't dare to come out of his mouth, seeing his struggle the other woman smiles at him calmly
"you don't have to
apologize dear" she said clearly understanding why he just just snapped at them but she is even more amused to the fact how strong this boy is still standing Alone this far and immediately the prince looks at the royalty who just spoken tho he mind was nowhere near the room he was standing in, he was too far ashamed-shocked at himself he never snapped inside this castle or outside this damn kingdom and today he did
it in front of two Queens.
"I know how you feel now son and believe me i also know it's not an okey feeling to feel but let me tell you something" the other queen starts as she looks at the boy who just wanted to slap the shit out of himself "Having a mate is not something which simply doesn't exist if you haven't done anything to upset the moon goddess because it
does exist and you my dear prince sure have a special one" The women says smiling softly at the standing young prince who looks at her dumbfounded and confused why is this woman talking like she knews the strange girl he meet the other day? Why is he even this nice? Does she know him? He only meet her like
two times that's all! So why is she being sweet? Ah yes it must be the queen role she's carrying around he thought, but oh how wrong he was.
"Excuse me?" The prince ask angrily yet in a calm voice tone, someone special? What kind of joke is this now? First he believed that he had a mate who don't even exist and now they are gonna make him believe that his mate is special? Really Special? Someone who to start with doesn't even exist? yeah he refuses to be dumb this time.
"Can I ask if you have by any chance met a girl named
Kayla these days?" The other woman kindly ask as she and his mom stared at him in silence waiting for an answer and the prince was long gone on his own thoughts Of course he remembered the name, that name belongs to the girl his wolf claimed as his true mate at the store a day ago now but
why is this woman asking
him about that now? How does she even now her? What's really going on here?
"No!"He said in his deep voice without showing any kind of emotional on him not sad nor angry just dryness of the lie words echoed in the room But if anything everyone should know it by now he doesn't like to explain himself and show what he is truly feeling that's just such weakness he doesn't to show, you might ask why? Is he afraid?
Let me tell you just one thing being afraid isn't really this male's natural state around here or anywhere but yes he
is afraid of something you
cant ever name in years.
"No??" The two queens repeats after him surprised, they indeed already knew he has meet Kayla way before than just yesterday and that they both are mates but why was the prince lying to them?
"Yeah, now I can go right!?" He ask bowing for the two not waiting for them to answer him as he turned his hills around to walk out of of the big door but the next thing he heard was enough to make his blood run cold as his wolf only see red as he turned around fast and growled loudly enough for some stuff around the room to shake and break on the ground into pieces.
"Deny all you want son
but your damn mate is in danger!"
