His Mated Princess

Late Night Encounters

Dean's POV

I woke up to the sound of my door shutting. I quickly sit up to see who entered my room. It was Kaden and he looked like he just won the lottery. I motion for him to sit down at the end of the bed, " What has you coming to me at this ungoddessly hour?"

I watch him as he sits down, " Her family believes that as long as you have your mate and you trust yourself then your all good?"

I rub the back of my neck, " Well some packs do believe that. That is the message that Alpha Killian imprinted on all the packs he fought with because he said he was fully complete once he had his mate. Hell half of our history book is about him and Luna Charlene."

Kaden laughs, " It is such bullshit. Like seriously how the f**k did our father get passed over as King and the Goddess give it to them?"

I shrug my shioulders, " I honestly don't know Kaden. Now did you come in here for a history lesson, to bullshit, or just to wake me the hell up?'

Kaden laughs again, " For some twin brother advice. I can tell she is falling for me."

I lay back against my headboard, " Isn't that what you and Dad want to happen? Her to fall in love with you and you take the Crown to rull us all?"

Kaden stands up and starts pacing, " Yeah it is but, f**k Dean you don't know what it is like. She is so goody goody and a damn royal. If I f**k this up Dad will have my ass or I will be dragged in front of the King for punishment."

I state with a know-it-all attitude, "Actually since you would be f*****g over your mate you would deal directly with the Goddess."

Kaden looks at me in shock, " How the actual f**k do you know all this?"

I give him a smartass look, " I pay attention in school plus I go to the Temple every few weeks and speak with Priestess Jewel. You do know who that is?"

Kaden gives me a confused look. I throw a pillow at him, " Seriously dude how did you get so far in school? Priestess Jewel is the only daughter of Luna Charlene, Aunt of King Thorn, and she is the one who translates the Goddess's message to us every Full Moon."

Kaden smiled, " Oh yeah the sexy bombshell that decided to stay pure instead of mate with some one?"

I shake my head at him, " Really dude? She is one of the most respected and trained females besides Luna Storm. Both those females could kick your ass and not break a sweat doing it."

Kaden shrugs, "As long as they are both naked. But really D what is your advise about this?"

I look at him and finally tell him what I have wanted to say since the beginning, " Honestly K, don't listen to Dad. Give you and your mate a chance to be happy. Don't do it just for the power. Do it because you want to help better yourself and be her partner. If you don't give it a real shot then you are f*****g over yourself and hurting her. If that is what you really want then put her out of her misery and reject her so she can find her second chance mate."

Kaden looked to be thinking it over as he left my room. I repositioned myself on my bed. I look up at the ceiling and just hope that Kaden for once will listen to me.

I can only hope that my words reach him.

Waverly's POV

I had been tossing and turning all night. I couldn't sleep. It seemed like I was having the same dream over and over again of a male in a field of black roses. After making another attempt of sleeping I growl and kick the covers off of me. I quickly decide to go for a run. I open my window and slither down the drain pipe heading to the edge of the woods. I stand completely still in the moonlight and let my Wolf Spirit take over.

I wince at the pain of the shift and close my eyes. I feel everybone break followed by total numbness. I let a small gasp of air as I feel the shifting proces end. I finally open my eyes and take off running through the woods.

I love feeling the wind on my fur and the wet dirt on my paws. I felt free. I run to the edge of our Pack Land and stop once I see another wolf. A wolf I had never seen before. The wolf looked just like me only slightly darker.

I was told by everyone that I had inherited my grey coloring from my Grandmother Charlie and that only two other wolves from our line were grey. Grey wolves are extremely rare. The legend is that grey wolves are stronger, faster, and are touched by fate.

I continued to look at the other wolf, I could tell that the wolf was a male and was just entering into the 3rd part of his wolf life. I went to take a step back and my paw landed on a twig causing it to snap. The sounded of it snapping alertted the other wolf to my presences and his blue eyes locked onto mine. There was something very familiar about this wolf. We both stood there for a few minutes starring at each other.

The wolf looked like he wanted to apporach but instead shook his head and took off running toward the bluff. I would have followed but I was trying to figure out why the wolf looked like someone I knew. I decided not to follow and continued running along the pack line when I collided with a person. I stood up on all four paws and shook myself. I looked at the person I ran into and quickly shifted. I was glad that I had some trace of Alpha blood in me because when I shifted I was in a tank top and sleep shorts.

I looked at who I ran into, " Hey Gramdma Storm."

She smiles at me and gives me a quick hug, " Hello Wavey. What has you out here at 3am?"

I look down at the ground then at her, " I couldn't sleep."

She motions for us to walk back to the main house. She tucks me into the crook of her arm, "What is going on in that mind of yours?"

I sigh a little, " Well I am pretty sure Grandpa told you that I have found my mate."

She nods, " Yes, Kaden Stanosa."

I bite my lip, " Well we agreed to get to know each other before we go any further with the ritual."

We stop walking when we enter the garden and she actually looks at me. I see her studying me like she can tell that there is something else on my mind. She takes a step back, " Why do I feel like there is something else bothering you?"

I move to sit down by the water fountain, " I ran into a wolf close to the property line earlier."

She sits next to me, " It was probably patrol."

I shake my head and look at her, " No it wasn't patrol. It was a grey wolf just like me but a little darker. He has blue eyes and seems to be in the 3rd part of his life span. Grandma Storm, there was something about him that felt like a pull. Like I knew him. I know that Grammy Charlie was a grey wolf and I take her coloring but I also know that are also two other wolves in our family line that are grey. Who are the other two?"

I watch as Storm turns her head away and stands up. She looks like she is trying to find the right words to say but someone else answers for her, " Kale and Parker."

I turn and see that the voice is from Aunt Jewel. I quick rush to her and hug her. I feel her arms wrap around me and hold me tightly. I step back from her, " Aunty Jewel what are you doing here?"

She smiles at me, " In two days it will be the anniversary of when my Mother and Father gave their lives for everyone. You know that all her kids meet here and then head to Temple. Now what has you asking about Parker and Kale?"

I shrug, " I ran into a grey wolf earlier. I know that besides me and Grammy Charlie there were two others in the family that had our coloring. So who are Parker and Kale?"

I feel both Jewel and Storm looking at me like I have two heads but Jewel answers, " My older twin brothers."

I ask, " I have Uncles that I never met? Where are they?"

Storm stands closely to Jewel as if to comfort her. Jewel looks at me with sorrowful eyes, "Parker died five years ago and Kale.. Well Kale hasn't been seen since then."

I feel tears fall from my eyes, " Five years ago? That was when I lost my father in a random attack."

Jewel continued speaking, " Parker and Kale were extremely close. They did everything together, they even shared the same mate. They were blessed with a mate who loved them both and even graced them with a beautiful daughter. Five years ago, they went to visit the Temple to celebrate their daughter's 13th birthday but on the way to the Temple they were attacked. Only the daughter and Kale made it out alive. Kale has never been the same since that day."

I started crying more, " Why does story seem so much like mine? What don't I know? Are they my fathers? DADDY!!!"

I feel strong arms wrap around me and hear a voice say, " Jewel summon our parents now! Storm go find Kale and tell him it is time whether he likes it or not."
