Gaille....pov
" welcome to Grandeur by Faraii "...i read out loud with a wild smile on my face.
Goddess, i sigh inwardly, i feel so full, complete ,fulfilled and satisfied maybe its the mate bond, most likely, but i really can't say.
I roll my eyes inwardly as flo just purrs.
we walk hand in hand for a minute or two then take a left turn as the walkway widens further, leading to a magnificent one story cabin.
It is square shaped with blunt edges, that would make one,think its round.
The entire front is made up of transparent glass and I can see the entire cabin from where we are standing.
It is surrounded by trees except the front.
Trey pulls me into his arms, my back to his front.
I can hear his heartbeat strong and fast.
"Do you like it?" he whispers in my ear, I nod yes, excitedly in response.
We get in, then i feel a zing rush through my body, I shudder and look at Trey with a raised eyebrow. He just smirks then explains that he just put a cloaking and protection spell around the cabin.
Are you.."Nope" he said cutting me off and popping the p with a cheeky grin.
"But i can do some basic spells"
He explains.
We talk from then till the next morning about anything and everything there is to know about each other, we hold hands sometimes but mostly stare into each others eyes.
On some occasions, his lips grazed mine in an almost kiss. I really liked the way he wasn't jumping my bones. Despite the fact that he desperately wanted to.
He picks me up bridal style to the kitchen and places me on a stool , before proceeding to make us a breakfast of bacons, eggs and toast, for breakfast.
He tells me a lot about the palace and life as a royal, then explains some more about what being the mate of a member of the royal circle, entails.
Then we went out in wolf form to explore the woods behind the cabin. We stayed out in wolf form for the rest of the day then he changed to his Lycan at night.
Lance his wolf was nice,but his Lycan Miles seemed like the very serious type.
We marked each other, three days later.
We then went on a road trip to my pack and spent two days with my family, before heading back to the royal palace, ahead of Davy's acceptance ceremony.
Turns out Trey had to be there too.
We are still getting to know each other and haven't mated yet, although i don't think i will last 2 more days before i jump his bones and beg him to take me.
its really hard to concentrate on the getting to know you part when all your instinct, body, soul and wolf is screaming their need for him.
I also know he is fighting to keep his self control on at all times.
F**k this.

Lyla......POV
Its been eight days since Gaille found her mate.
my best friend is a royal now, we haven't spoken since she left with her mate , Trey compton.
But she did post a picture of herself and trey together at the Grandeur and then with her family. I hope she can make it back in time for Davina's acceptance ceremony, its tomorrow.
I sigh as i prepare the guest rooms and clean the Whitlocks mansion to prepare for the arrival of Carson, Rose and Riley with their mates and pups for Carson's acceptance ceremony. It the same ceremony with Gaille's cousin Davina.
All rooms will be in full use, the next three days will be very hectic for me.
Amelia's parents, Amelia and Carson with their twin one year old daughters, Rose, her two year old son, her mate AlphaTrevor albertine, his gamma and some warriors, Riley and her mate, vampire pack leader Jeffrey woodston and some of their fighters.
Since they will all be arriving before dinner, i will be helping the chef in the kitchen, prepare lots of Biryani, Portobello Parmesan, beef wellington, Herb-Crusted Pork Roast, Paprika Roast Leg of Lamb with Mint Sauce.
There will also be Orange-Cardamom Roast Chicken, and loads of Curried Chicken and Rice Casserole.
I do all my chores on auto pilot, and ensure everyone is settled in nicely, I serve dinner, then clear and clean up the house,before going to bed.
Its almost one in the morning and my mind drifts to Gaille, I am happy for her. But her new situation means, I will definitely be house hunting on my own and starting out on my own.
I shrug a little, I'm not scared to start out on my own now am I?.
I asked myself as I braid my hair and got ready for bed.
I got up really early the next day, earlier than usual because its required with such a full house.
I quickly make a huge breakfast of Bacon, Potato, and Egg Casserole, toasts and loads of pancakes, with orange juice, fresh coffee and pineapple and mango juice.
After everyone had left for the ceremony, I got a cab and headed for the Royal palace.

Declan .... POV
The rumors have been rife, the pressure constant , the temptation high, but I noticed that i was less attracted and less inclined to get a quick roll in the hay with anyone, no matter how pretty, tempting or seductive they were.
I smiled as I remembered My aunt Athena's visit from my dream two nights ago. It was time to claim my mate. I have given her three years and I was done being patient and being strong like I didn't need her.
Not that she knows we are mates or anything like that. For now she is still human and only my bite can unlock her dormant supernatural side.
I huffed and smiled excitedly, I already have a plan on how to go about all of this.
All my brothers (circle) have found their mates, Trey the latest just last week.
It was about time for me to find mine.
I have a plan on how, I want to go about claiming my mate today, and I took the time to explain it to my wolf and Lycan.
I do this two more times, just to be sure they understand the plan and get it,before I head for the bathroom.
I style my black hair away from my face, I am wearing a blue shirt that complements my eyes, to go with my lightweight cotton black pants, that shaped my calf's nicely.
For footwear, I choose an expensive grey vans to go with my light grey jacket. I step out of my room and whistle lowly, but there was no answer so yeah, the guys are already waiting outside the palace. I join them and we head for the offices of the Royal Coven.
"Someone is chirpy today." Killian says while chuckling with a knowing smile. I shake my head at him and Max asks if I finally got some over the weekend.
Gabriel replied in the negative, reminding him we were all together and if I did get some they wouldn't have to ask, they would know.
I haven't been the nicest person to be around the past three years, I'd been a jerk and a douche, with the burden of knowing and not being able to claim my mate.
Coupled with the pressure from various quarters about my Mateless state.
And the possibilities of a chosen mate being thrown around, making the ladies unmated or not, get into a frenzy for my attention.
Lets just say the last three years since I first saw her haven't been smooth sailing at all.
I have been really ruthless, infact the only ladies you see still trying to get my attention are the mateless ones who would die trying.
I have really been a jerk.
