Werewolf Princess

Chapter 2

At what Dad said my eyes suddenly widened. Married?

Why did Dad suddenly want me to marry his friend's son?

He knows that I already have Anton and this is what I love. “Dad, you know, Anton and I, right?"

“Why do I have to marry your friend's son? You know Dad that I love Anton.” I said with mixed resistance to wanting it.

But I was not going to win, because I was even more shocked by what Dad said again. “Princess, I know you and Anton, but he is not the right man for you. Not that I don't like him. But he doesn't love you. He only has personal intentions as to why he was kind to you and took your heart. And once you know the whole truth of their plans for you. I don't want to hurt you, because I'm still your father."

“Everything he showed you was just carried out by all their plans with his whole family. Princess, listen to me, the man I have chosen to be your mate is the one who deserves you and your love. I know the day will come when you will possibly rule our entire kingdom. You are an only child and I know you deserve to take my place someday. So you should only choose the man who won't hurt you. There is no bad intention why he took your heart. The man who should really love you and he won't be able to hurt you. Those are just some of the qualities I want in a man you can be with. You don't quite understand yet but when the time comes, by the time everything becomes clear to you, you will know all the things I want to convey to everything I have said."

“So I chose Prince Euan for you. He is a good son and I know he will be a good mate to you too. Princess, forget Anton first. You will only be hurt and your love for him will lead you to disaster. He is not the man who suits you. Prince Euan is the one I'm sure will suit you. In the beginning it is difficult because you don't know each other, but the day will come when you will also learn, love each other, guide, protect, take care of each other, you will also learn all that when you are together." Dad said seriously and took a deep breath.

After a while he resumed speaking. “When our hearts are hurt, it is not easy to forget. But easily learns to love. If the person who again tries to get into your heart deserves your love. I'm sure you'll be happy eventually with the new person you're bringing in here." Dad's long dialogue. Everything he said was seriously terrifying. I almost didn't understand anything and my mind seemed to float thinking about what he said, about Anton and his family. In the sheer depth of what Dad said, it was as if I had been taken somewhere and thought hard.

"But, dad!"

“Princess, I just don't want you to be ruined because of your love for Anton. I just don't want it to happen that you end up falling into the traps they set. You listen! I'm not telling you this because I don't like Anton. I just want you to stay safe from people who want to harm you and overthrow our whole kingdom. Don’t get overwhelmed by how you feel for him. You can see what I'm telling you, too." Dad said. I could read the extreme concern on his face as he held both my cheeks with both hands.

“But, Dad, I really love Anton. Just let me love him. Don't let me marry Prince Euan. Please, Dad, I beg you. Let Anton and I go.” I pleaded with Dad, as he looked at me with a sad look.

While my tears were starting to fall and I couldn't stop them from falling one after another. “Princess, please understand. Prince Euan deserves more, the love you have for Anton. Promise, I’m more correct that I’ll find you happier with Euan, than with Anton. He's the one I see that suits you the most, so I hope you understand."

I feel that it also hurts for Dad, forcing me to marry the man he wants. But I love Anton and I can’t seem to afford to lose him. It's not that simple to forget Anton, especially since I love him so much. But, I am overwhelmed by the sadness I feel for Dad. I love Dad too and I can’t bear to see him sad and disobey what he wants.

One after another, my tears flowed and I couldn't stop myself. So did Dad, his tears were already dripping as he wiped some of the tears that were flowing down my face. “Don't cry Princess, let me introduce you to Euan first, before you decide to choose Anton better. But I'm sure you'll only get hurt by Anton, it's time you see the thing I'm referring to you. But prepare yourself as well. Because at that time you will feel so much pain in discovering the truth contained in your love for him." Dad spoke deeply again, tears welling up in my eyes.

*********************

"King Soopers" Dad greeted happily as he saw his best friend arrive. He greeted the king of the Aldama kingdom as he walked into our palace.

Dad was overjoyed to see his almost considered brother and friend, King Soopers. They are both the King who rules the wolf clans and maintains silence between the gathering of humans and wolves.

As Dad approached King Soopers, their faces could be seen in ecstasy especially in their embrace.

Are they two like that, too close? I whispered, as my eyes searched for its son Prince Euan.

The Prince that Dad said I would marry and that is why the King of albama is here today to personally introduce me to his son.

After a few minutes there was still no Prince I had been waiting to see.

I have decided to go out of the palace first to get some air outside. I got up, from my seat and walked out. It looks like that Euan won't come. I whispered as I walked down the hallway of the palace out.

I said goodbye to Dad first, so that I could just wait outside while there was no one, the son of King Soopers.

I finally got out of the palace to my joy a deep breath I exhaled. I breathed a sigh of relief, with the intensity of the nervousness I felt inside the palace when King Soopers arrived.

It's good that I'm out here first so I can breathe well and relax. I shouted whispering in a low voice. As I stretched out both my arms. "Thank you," I said as I took another deep breath.

"Luna," I heard, someone call to me from afar.

I’m familiar with that voice and I’m not surprised to see the person who owns that voice. "Jake" I called, I said happily when I said his name. I immediately met him when I started walking towards him. "What are you doing here?" I asked him. I hugged him and then held him with one hand.

I was so happy to see him. Jake is the gamma of the clan and one of my closest friends in and out of the palace. He was my frequent companion in all my training as an heir of my father and would be Luna in our clan. He was also one of those who taught me what I needed to know and understand. So I was happy to see him. "What are you doing here?" I asked him again.

He laughed, smiled at me then withdrew the hand I was holding. “You, why are you outside the palace? Won't they go now, King Soopers, with his son, the Prince who will be your mate?" He joked and winked at me.

“Crazy," I whispered to him.

He laughed and joked again. “Seriously? Aren't you happy to see the man King Warren has chosen for you?" I scolded him, smirked. “Why should I be happy? Even now he doesn't show up! What kind of man is he? I really think he has bad behavior. You see, he didn't come today."

“What? he didn’t come today?” Jake asked in shock and his eyes widened.

I shrugged. “Yes, he did not come and he was not with his father. Only King Soopers came, Dad talked."

“Maybe the tail has pulled back and like me is against this wedding." I said seriously, but I joked with my speech to him.

But Jake didn't like it. “Luna, later, someone will hear you." He disobeyed me, despite the fact that we were the only two talking in the place, where Jake and I were sitting.

“In that case, the fact that he did not show up means only one thing. He was not in favor of the merger of the two kingdoms. And that is bad, because many know and many more will be happy, like the exploiters who seek to rule and destroy the foundation of the two kingdoms."

“Jake, is that the reason, why Dad wants me to marry that Euan?" I was shocked!

I, on the other hand, widened my eyes in shock at what I heard Jake say. “I'm not sure Luna, I only heard that once in the conversations of the elders. In the situation of the two kingdoms today, they can think of only one solution. That they can marry one of King Soopers' sons and you Luna. And Euan was chosen, to be your partner in your upcoming leadership of our kingdom. The forces and foundations of the two kingdoms will be strengthened by the merger of their forces. But I'm not sure, Luna. King Warren may have had another reason but I don’t know what that is. But I can only be sure of one thing, that you will be protected from those who want to do you harm and ...."

Jake couldn't continue what he was going to say when I stopped him. “Jake, did you hear that?" I asked as I stopped him from speaking when I heard a c***k in the distance between the two of us.

“Yes, Luna, you're right, behind me." He shouted as the crackle approached the two of us. Suddenly we stood up, from sitting. “Go behind me, don't leave, behind me, Luna." Jake said again, commanding. I leaned behind him and he hid me. “Just stay in the back, don't come out, until I tell you to come out." He whispered again as he looked at me for a moment before turning away from the crackle that was getting closer and closer.

Jake straightened up, while I was in the back and hiding from whoever was making the crackle. The crackle got closer and closer as Jake shouted. “Who are you?"

“Come out of your hiding place."

“Out," Jake shouted, not knowing who the crackle was coming from.

“Get out, I said."

At Jake's shout, an unfamiliar wolf suddenly appeared in front of us. A large wolf with sharp eyes was thrown but at me, not at Jake who was gasping in rage at the not immediately appearing of the wolf to arrive.

With the look on the wolf’s face, we seem to have disturbed it. But softly, and only softly our voices we kept so that no one could hear us, from the conversation the two of us had with Jake.

“Who are you?" Jake asked again.

“Tell me, who are you?" Jake asked in a strong voice.

But it shot me a sharp look as I peeked from behind Jake.

Jake warned the wolf that appeared in front of us. After he warned it, it suddenly returned in human form.

With the wolf returning to human form, a very handsome man emerged from in front of Jake and me. A tall one, with long hair and really very handsome, suddenly appeared and we see now, in front of us. “Luna" Jake said to me as I stared at the dazzling handsomeness of the man in front of me. I couldn't help but marvel and admire the elegance of his body except for his handsome face.

“Who are you?"

“What right do you have to face us, looking like that?"

“Your thickness too!" Jake said angrily, glaring at it. And the stranger in our kingdom also fought with his gaze. “Wear it!" Jake threw in a pair of clothes.

It even looked at us, after he had caught what was thrown at his clothes.

“Who are you really? What and you came to Alabama?"

“What do you need? You even managed to face Luna, that's how you look."

“Tell me who you are?"

“Speak up! Why don’t you speak up?” With all that Jake said and asked, to him it didn’t answer even one.

It was just looking, but not at Jake, but at me. From behind Jake, I was able to peek at it and see. I was so amazed and also so nervous I was feeling right now. But I tried to remove it, and also stared at the man who did nothing but look at me.

Wait, is his face familiar to me? I said, whispering that Jake heard. “Do you know him, Luna?"

“I'm not sure, but I think I've seen him." I replied to Jake, and again stared into his face.

I think of Jake's question, where did I see this stranger?

But whatever I think I don’t remember.

But he was really familiar!

As I thought, I noticed it moving slowly towards Jake and me. “Wait, don't come any closer." I heard Jake's warning. Jake warned the man, but he still walked and continued to approach us.

Jake was ready, for the man's impending attack, when he was given sharp stares. He smirked at Jake, while looking at me.

In its appearance, he was smiling like a demon, his look with sharp eyes. Far from its appearance, of the first transformation, to be human.

“Is that how you receive guests here?” When he first spoke, he asked.

“Is that how you greet your guest?"

“This is how you treat the guests." He said and looked at me.

He laughed, teasing us with bad looks. Jake and I looked at each other, each eye speaking to each other, confused from the male stranger.

“Just stay there, don't come any closer." Jake warned again, when he noticed it was progressing again.

“No respect, that's how you welcome your guest." He gasped, angrily saying. His gaze turned to Jake and me. “Who are you really? And why should you be respected? You just show up and don't want to say who you are."

“Why should we respect you, when you are, you don't respect Luna. She is the Princess of this kingdom. You just have to respect her. But what did you do? You suddenly appeared and distracted us."

“Don't listen to what he says, Luna. He may have a bad plan for you or our kingdom." But when Jake said that, he just laughed at him. He seemed to be insulting me with his laughter. I couldn't bear to keep quiet and just watch and listen to the two of them. “Who are you? And we should respect you?" I asked angrily in a loud voice. I got out from behind Jake and faced the laughing stranger. “What do you need, and you have come to our kingdom?"

We don’t even know who he is.

Why would I respect him?

Even he, did not show respect for me, despite the fact that I am the Princess of this kingdom.

Why did he want to give him respect, when he was just a stranger here in our kingdom.

Why was I suddenly nervous at his stare?

Why is he looking at me with that kind of look? bad, but there was a mixture of criticism in every stroke of his sight. But I shouldn’t be afraid of him. I am Elizabeth the Princess of Alabama, the next luna and ruler of the whole kingdom. Why should I be afraid?

“You're Princess Elizabeth, right?" He asked seriously. “Is that how you greet your guest?"

“What are you talking about?" Jake asked. “You have no respect to ask him that!"

“And why do you look at Luna like that? You have no right to look at her like that." Jake said loudly, calling the attention of some of our other colleagues who were now approaching.

“Who is he, Luna?” Beta Gwent asked, along with Lead Warrior George and Delta Jaiden some of the clan members.

“We don’t know! He just suddenly appeared here."

Gwent, George and Jaiden teased the stranger and then asked him a question, but he did not answer. While competing looks, between the four. Suddenly there are wolves that come out in the middle of their questioning being done to the stranger. A cluster and group of wolf with sharp fangs and deep looks. The man left the center and approached the wolves that had arrived. Another man appeared and approached the stranger then whispered something.

The situation between the two groups is heating up even more. Everyone is already showing readiness to whoever first makes the attack. Jake is also ready to join the possible battle that will happen, once the strangers attack first.

When a fight happens, I will join too. I can’t bear to see them just resist just to protect me from strangers. I took a deep breath and then stared at that stranger.

My nervousness got louder and louder. As he stared at me even more, a wolf suddenly jumped on Gwent when he was able to punch the stranger when he was insulted by what he said.

*********************

“King Warren, it looks like the outcome of our plan will be good, to marry your daughter Elizabeth to my son Euan."

“I am confident that the union of the two kingdoms will be successful. We will be able to strengthen our forces and strengthen the foundation of the two kingdoms."

“Hopefully, King Soopers. I hope it won't be so difficult for them to agree to get married, for the future of the two kingdoms."

“Don't worry, everything will be fine. Take away the anxiety you feel now, let's think about their upcoming wedding."

“You’re right, King Soopers. For now, we must first think about their impending marriage. But I also can't get rid of the worry of the danger that may come."

“Don't think about that, the important thing is their upcoming wedding. Because when that happens, our forces will be strengthened due to the merger of the two kingdoms."

“But why can't I get out of my mind that something bad might happen."

“Elizabeth, I'm afraid for her, something bad might happen to her. Especially and often she also gets into fights, going to the anacle forest to chase some of our rebellious comrades.

“Do not worry. It's time for her and Euan to get married. He will take care of your daughter. Then let's solve those problems. Let's think about marriage first."

“Wait, do you hear any noise from outside? There seems to be a commotion!"

“There seems to be chaos outside. Let's go and see."

“It's even better, and maybe that's what's going on outside."

“Let's take a look at what's going on outside, before we continue our conversation."

“It's even better! Come on, let's go out and see."
