Adrian waited impatiently for the event to round up before approaching the alpha of the Rosette pack. At this time his cousin had already left for his pack with his mate, the vampires should have left much earlier but were surprised when the prince insisted on waiting. They had wondered whether he had some other business with the Alpha but didn't dare ask him.
" Alpha Logan"
" Your Majesty" The man was quite surprised at his presence. Adria noted that the man's useless pup was standing not too far from them. He was leaning beside a woman and whispering words Aiden didn't care enough to make out into her ears, it was those words that made her giggle silly. This woman was not his mate and yet the Aloha hadn't said a word about it. It appears werewolves lacked morals. " May I be of help to you?"
" Yes, I have seen a woman in your pack who caught my interest. I want her" he states bluntly. Adrian had never been one for dragging topics when he could just cut straight to the point.
The Alpha's mouth fell open and so did that of his son who must have heard Aiden as well. " W..what?"
" I said I saw a woman of interest in your pack. I want her"
" You..you want to mate with one of my pack members?"
" Is that a problem?"
" No. Of course not"A gleeful smile overtook the man's face. Aiden could already see the wheels turning in the man's head, Alpha saw the benefits in this matter.
Vampires barely tolerated werewolves. You could only guess how incredibly rare it was for a vampire to grow enough interest in a werewolf to take them as a mate. Adrian's Aunt had done the same thing and she was still seen as a disappointment in her coven.
Plus, Vampires were extremely powerful. They not only had more powers physically but also financially as well. Adrian's coven for example owns the biggest business company in the state. While wolves only lived in their seclusion and barely interacted with the outside world. It would be of great benefit to the Rosette Pack if they were able to establish a relationship with the vampire coven, so Adrian had provided a perfect opportunity for them. With one of their serving as his mate, they will have not only him but his entire House Naelex as well. Who could pass on such an opportunity?
" Then will you give her to me? I intend to leave tonight"
" Of course your Majesty, it would be an absolute honor" the man chimed " Please tell me which lady in my pack has caught your interest. I will tell her to get ready for you in earnest" The Alpha wouldn't even consider asking for the woman's thoughts on the matter, he was prepared to give her out no matter what
" It was the woman that was with your pup in the reception. I don't seem to know her name"
Alpha Logan's eyes brightened in realization. He glanced over his shoulder to see Damien staring in their direction. So, one of his son's mistresses had caught the prince's attention? How unexpected. " I see. If it is Camila you want then I can make arrangements to.."
" Not her" Adrian who had read the Alpha's thought said. He was a bit annoyed at the thought that the Alpha had even thought of such a thing as him desiring his pup's plaything. He didn't take sloppy seconds. " The one who brought him the blood"
" Lisa?!" It was Damien who had realized the one the prince had an interest in first. He walked over to them with a baffled and displeased expression on his face. " You do not mean Lisa right Your Majesty?"
" Lisa is that her name? It is quite pretty. Then can you give Lisa to me tonight?"
" Impossible!" Damien exclaimed." not happening"
" Damien, watch your tone before his Majesty" Alpha Logan scolded.
" You are not thinking of giving her to him, are you? Lisa is my mate! Mine"
" The last time I checked, she didn't have a mark on her. I wouldn't have grown an interest in someone who was already claimed"
" But you saw her over me"
" I also saw three more women over you tonight. Are you training a harem pup?"
" I..." Damien's mouth fell open but no word came out. His face was flooded with embarrassment and he didn't think he could look the vampire directly in the eyes if he ever could before. Despite that, he wasn't going to back out of this so easily. " Lisa is mine. She is my intended mate"
" Pick another"
" You can't just do that! You can't take away what belongs to someone else! Are the vampires so pitiful that they can't find their own woman..."
" Damien!" Alpha Logan roared in anger shutting his son up. " How dare you speak to the prince in such a manner?! I apologize sincerely your Majesty "
" It is alright. After all, a man can seem weak if he doesn't fight for something he fancies."
" Then I would have to beg his majesty to take someone else"
" I don't desire anyone else. If the Alpha has no intention of fulfilling this little request of mine then I shall take my leave" Adrian didn't honestly give a s**t if the Alpha approved or not, not when he had the power and means to take it himself. He was the Prince and Successor of the most powerful Coven in the world, of course, he could f*****g take what he wanted. A small pack like the Rosette couldn't possibly do a thing to retaliate.
But he was considerate about what his new mate might think. He wanted her to see for herself that it was her pack that had given her to him, that way she wouldn't ever think of running away from him and coming back here. But if she does run, Adrian could catch her in a heartbeat. No worries.
" Please wait your majesty" The Alpha rushed to stop him. " If it is Lisa you want then we would be honored to give her to you"
" Father!"
" Hush" the man waved his son away. " Please give me a little time to talk to her family first"
" Twenty minutes and no more. I still have somewhere to be after all " Adrian could feel their gazes on him as he left. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips. He couldn't wait to have her to himself.

" Are we not to leave your Majesty?"
" No, we shall wait"
The two men in the front seat exchanged looks. They were already two hours behind schedule, at a time like this they would have almost reached the coven, yet the prince insisted on waiting. They didn't understand why. Prince Adrian had been the most anxious to return home earlier but now he was the one delaying it all.
They had no other choice but to wait obediently in the silent car as the prince had instructed. Not long after they all heard the sound of voices and footstep approaching their vehicle, the smell of the werewolves permeated the air. One of the men goes to shut the windows if only to ease the foul smell a bit but the back of the car opens and a woman shuffles inside.
She doesn't smell as bad as the rest ( for some reason) but the mere fact that she was sited right beside their prince made the hairs on their neck rise. Who doesn't know how much the prince disliked strangers being too close to him, especially a werewolf for that matter? It would be bad if he accidentally hurts this woman.
" Who are y..." One makes to speak but the prince beats him to it.
" My love" The prince's voice is the gentlest while saying this. He doesn't seem to care that the woman was glaring at him hard. She doesn't resist however when he places a hand on her cheek and leans down to place his lips against hers. He was kissing her.
The man's eyes nearly bulged out of their heads at this action. They exchanged looks that said the same thing
' WHAT THE ABSOLUTE f**k!'
