Not in a hurry.

1520 Words
Hope quickly went to her room. Gathered her belongings as quickly as she could. She had to hurry before the assistant her father hired for her came back. She only met her a week ago at her graduation ceremony holding the letter her father had written. Knowing her father, she quickly figured it out that her father had sold her to that crazy man in a way that won't come back to him. The Seville family, her mother's side of the family will chew him out if they found out about this kind of arrangement. So instead, he made a deal with that scum. She was expecting this type of stuff after being exiled by him for the sake of her twin brother. She needed to buy time for herself so she chose the easiest way possible to escape, which was to get married. She lived in the human world for so long that she forgot about the rules of the supernatural whether official or not. She just didn't expect that the person she chose to be the crippled third son of the nightingale family. His family is huge and part of the Royal family. He's a werewolf. His father is one of the strongest Alpha's in the entire world and an unofficial King. That's right, although they are part of the family, his father was a second son so his uncle is the King. The two never fought so nobody knows who's stronger than who. Gerrard Nightingale has three sons and a daughter who's four years old. All of them don't have the same mother which attributes to the constant schemes and fights. The first born son, known for his cruel nature is Jared. That man is known for his cruelty as the head of the special forces squad of the Howling Moon Pack. Many girls have lost their lives because of him so you can imagine the kind of beast he is. The second son is known as a healer, a playboy by nature. His mother is of unknown origin and it is pretty uncommon for wolves to have healing powers but he was able to take full advantage of it, earning himself the title of a healer. Aidan, known for his intelligence and bravery is the third son of the nightingale family. Unlike the other two , his mother was the legitimate wife and mate of Gerrard Nightingale. Very little is known about her and those who do have nothing but praise for her. She died when he was ten, killed by witches during an attack on the Howling Moon Pack. Aidan wasn't born in that condition, because of the inheritance his mother left him, he became a threat and for some reason ' attacked' when he was 13, a day before the coming of age ceremony. Hope was 11 at the time. She doesn't remember much at that time because she had also been injured on that day, with her mother loosing her life that very same day. The pack was attacked by unknown rouges and many lost their lives that day. Aidan was the most affected of the children despite them hiding in the bunker. It was evident that he was the target. She shook her head, she couldn't remember that day without feeling pain in her chest. She went to the penthouse from the address Aidan sent her. Asking him where he got her number will just be making a fool of her self. She went there and was about to knock when the door opened on its own. A tall men with weird glasses stood there. " Good afternoon Madam. Please do come in, Master Aidan is in the study waiting for you." The man said. " Okay" Hope said as she handed him her things instinctively. The man raised his eyebrows at that quickly concealing his emotions. From the moment he saw saw her, he knew she wasn't as simple as she seemed. He decided to observe first and trust his Lord's judgement. " You're here" Aidan said as he motioned her across from him. " Where's the doctor?" Hope asked feeling slightly dizzy. She was used to this feeling as it becomes more frequently these days. " He'll be here, are you okay?" he asked and just as he was about to pour a glass of water for her, she fainted. He didn't make it in time to catch her He hurriedly went to her side and carried her to the bedroom. He called his friend who was in the bar downstairs hitting on a blonde woman. The man ran when he heard that it was an emergency. He ran all the way to the penthouse where the assistant was waiting for him looking anxious. He felt the pressure like air in the room and instantly understood. His Alpha was angry. Not wasting anytime, he went to the bedroom. Knocking first before entering. A woman was in the middle of the big black king size bed writhing in pain.He was surprised when he realized that the pressure wasn't coming from his best friend but from her. He instantly got nervous. There are not many female alphas in the world. " Why are standing there!! Check what's going on with my wife" Aiden said in a low voice laced with threat. " Uhm Sorry, i was just momentarily surprised to see a woman on your bed." he said shrinking from the pressure his best friend was releasing. He went forward to check her without any physical contact with someone glaring at him at the side. " What are you trying to do? I need to take her pulse, can you stop glaring at me." the man said as he took out a handkerchief as an alternative. He is an alpha himself and he was like this when he had met his mate. " I'm afraid we can't do anything for her. Only by marking her will her pain be bearable for her temporarily. She's cursed. Someone transferred this curse to her the day she was born. I believe a high priestess managed to bind it for her. The pain is from the curse trying to break through the bind. As long as you mark her, you can share her pain and with your gift, you can help her deal with the curse. Her body is perfectly fine. The flush on her phase is because it's heat season, as an Alpha she can feel the pheromones from other species and it's affecting her. With the curse, i don't recommend s****l activities. She's injured because of it." he said. " You can go now" Aiden said ignoring him. He stood up and went to his mate's side. He took a lighter and burned the handkerchief before throwing it in the bin. Caster was speechless. He threw his hands in the air and resigned to his fate. He went out of the room and into the guest bedroom. He couldn't leave, he needed to be there so he can assist should that woman reject Aiden 's mark like his mate did. He still can't understand why till this day and to make it worse , she disappeared the day after. Aiden looked at the woman who was twitching on his bed and couldn't help but feel his throat tighten. The mate bond is affecting more than he expected. He bent down and could already feel his teeth itching. His possessiveness growing with every second. He couldn't help but take a deep breath on her neck and take in the fresh peach flavored air. His mate's scent. It is commonly known that all the Servile royal princesses's smell like strawberry. He doesn't know if this is the pheromones released by her to attract or just her personal scent. He couldn't hold it anymore and sunk his teeth into her fair neck. He couldn't help but groan as he felt the connection with her. He wanted to strip her and mate with her but that would be r***. Judging by the amount of power hidden inside of her, she would reject and kill him should he attempt to do that. His condition is not great at this moment. He was about to remove his teeth when he froze in his place. A sudden pain on his neck sent his mind into a frenzy. Hope with with her eyes closed marked him as well. She moaned driven by the desire his move had given her. She was able to mark him in return driven by instinct. They stayed in that position for god knows how long. Their souls felt like one. What they didn't know was that both of were covered in a warm bright light. A woman was looking at them with a sincere smile. She left after blessing the two. Hope withdrew her teeth and collapsed in Aiden 's arms. A beautiful mark was formed on her neck of black wolf. On Aiden 's neck was a red wolf with white marks. Her wolf is rare and she probably won't recognize it with the white marks.
