Prince Declan POV....
"Declan !!! wake up"
Zeus my wolf shouts at me in my mind, but I mumble in my sleep, and tell him to shut up.
Mars my Lycan just chuckles.
I block both of them, I don't care what they want, or what is going on, i just need more sleep.
I had trained for five days straight, no sleep, no food, no water and no blood, at my personal, state of the art , military simulation centre.
Not that my body requires a lot of food , my vampire genes, regulates all my needs.
Don't get me wrong I craved for those things, but i am too disciplined to acknowledge my needs.
I am Declan Van Godin, CROWN PRINCE OF THE ROYAL SUPREME PACK AND OF ALL SUPERNATURAL BEINGS.
Even after I arrived at my quarters, i chose sleep over my other needs like food.
Zeus is fighting me, but he should know better, I sense both of them arguing now and push them further into the back of my mind as sleep takes me away again.
==== Dreamscape ====
I wake up in dreamscape, the goddesses Alena and Athena are waiting for me, so I hug them both.
" What?" I ask Athena, she was smiling and staring at me with too much pride.
" I see you have been training seriously,i know we said to train but not this seriously little one." she says with a Smirk.
" Its better to be over prepared than to be under prepared Aunt Athena and why the summons ?" I ask the other goddess aunt Athena.
" Well , we just wanted to let you know that we are grateful for your patience as it regards finding your mate."
"And also, to inform you , that you will meet her today" Athena finished for Alena while jumping with glee.
I watched her do a little happy dance, Athena looked pretty in her white jump suit, she is a goddess after all pretty and beautiful were part of their nature.
I almost smiled as I watched her, Almost.
"But I instead shifted my gaze to Alena who was wearing a knee length sleeveless yellow sundress, with a ruched high neck design, cinched and flayed out at the waist for a skater skirt finish, and gladiator sandals to match.
Alena motioned for me to join her, as she pasted the space beside her on a swing that wasn't under the oak tree they had been standing under some seconds ago.
I watched her push her hair behind her ear and instantly knew, I wasn't going to like the next part.
"But, she isn't eighteen yet and she cant recognise her mate,she is also predominantly human, and you cant claim her till she is ready."
Alena finished in a rush and locked eyes with me . I was looking at her but not seeing her as I was in deep thought.
I finally cleared my throat to speak asked.
" When can i claim her, then?"
"The next time you see her" Athena answered
He chuckled drily and asked , " why do i have a feeling that both of you will stop me from going to seek her our again and again, you know just to be close to her?"
Alena gave me a hearty smile, befor answering,
." Declan, you know us too well,and she is the key in the war to come,she hasn't finished her training and yes we forbid you to go see her or seek her out."
"Now that's all, Bye Nephew " they both chorused.
"Bye ." he muttered as he left the dreamscape.
=======
Declan !!
Declan !! my beta called loudly.
"what ?" I asked as the pillow muffled most of my words.
"Get up princess we have just forty mins before we meet with our court for some hours, then we have the award ceremony, before the security meeting, Come up you go, let's get to it"
" Also,, I need to get some food into you so get moving,"
Fonsi one of my two betas rolled out my schedule as he pulled, the blankets off me.
Gabriel!?!! i growled in warning
I knew my other beta, was in the room , I could sense he was about to pull back the heavy curtains.
Son of a pancake!!, I growled as the light hit my eyes, and sprang up from the bed tackling the big oaf to the ground.
Fonsi was laughing his his brains out at my reaction, as Gabriel tried not to scream like a banshee, while I tickled him mercilessly.
"I give up, I give up, i submit" he screamed while laughing uncontrollably.
"Thirty-Two minutes, Declan",Fonsi informed quietly.
I glared at him and he raised his hands in surrender, saying.
"Don't hate the messenger."
Only Gabriel's mate Nikki, our close circle and I know that the Big Bad never to F**k with Beta is ticklish and screams Like a banshee.
I finally, stop tickling him, satisfied with the work I had done . I headed to the bathroom , while my betas left to go get get ready, themselves.
Fifteen minutes later, I was dressed in my Military outfit, my betas also and my three Gammas, as we walked into the dining for breakfast.
I took one whiff of all the food on the table,croissants, croissant sandwiches, bacon and eggs , toast and pancakes.
My stomach squeezes itself in disapproval.
So I go straight for the wine glass and get some of the fresh animal blood, laid out besides the coffee and fresh juice.
I nibble on some dry toast as I sip my drink, and think about meeting my mate.
The Breakfast table is full with every member of my close circle and their mates, drowning the extensive array of breakfast options.
I see Nikki Gabriel's mate and smirk at the look of pure bliss on her face as she gulps down some yogurt vanilla cake, it actually looks delicious.
I smile in my mind, because the Nikki we get isn't the Nikki those outside this close knit circle gets.
she is dangerously bitchy, although the title, queen of bitches would have to go to my mom. Nikki is a very close second.
I watch Gabriel speak to his mate, with puppy love eyes and wonder if I will suffer the same fate, with my mate wrapping me around her fingers.
Absolutely not !!, Mars huffs and Zeus laughs so hard before telling his Lycan side to speak for himself.
I mind link my betas and my gammas Trey, Max and Killian, that its time to go.
we use our Vampire speed as we make haste.
The meeting starts the second we arrive.
