Vincentius Dante
I WAS SITTING on my throne as I swirled the ball of marble, I was in deep thought. Everything is going to get different once my mate comes here, but I am resolute that she will not be coming in my life. Why did the moon goddess destine me to someone that I can't love? It's neither fair for me nor her.
My mate didn't do anything evil with me or my family. She's just a normal wolf who too had dreams and hopes for her future life. That is what every female wolf thinks and that is fair by her too so I don't want to crush her hopes because either way, I will do it regardless if my intentions are pure or not.
I've seen the pain of women, mother suffered the wrath of my father for centuries, it broke her. And my beloved sister Genevieve, she lost her mate because of my father. When she met her mate for the first time, she instantly fell in love with him, his name was, Lucien. Lucien was a wondrous guy, he admired my sister and could do anything for her. Everyone knew that Gen had found her soulmate except for father.
Father used to divide the loved ones from each other. Gen had seen how he brutally murdered mates openly. She was so in love with Lucien that she didn't want Lucien to face the ire of my father. Unlike us Lycans, Lucien was a normal wolf. He belonged to a small tribe which was a little far from us.
Genevieve feared that when father will come to know about this he would kill Lucien in front of her. Days passed by and months too, Genevieve didn't see him for years. She lied to him that she was marked by some other wolf that father brought. Lucien couldn't stand the pain so he ran away and to date, we haven't heard a word from his side.
After father's death, I tried finding him. I sent my best wolves out there but they too couldn't find a trace of him. Genevieve suffered a lot, there were days when she couldn't even move due to the unbearable pain that she was going through.
I've witnessed so much pain that my women have gone through and to be honest, it hurt me so much because I couldn't do anything and I don't want that to happen with another woman. The reason that I decided to push away my mate was that I didn't want to hurt her beyond her expectations. Yes, she will get damaged but she'll get over it soon, I believe she will.
I was so deep in my thoughts that I couldn't feel the presence of my beta who stood in front of me. I looked up with a questioning look.
"King," He said as he bowed, I nodded.
"We've found the women which you asked to locate." I was amazed for a second, I didn't expect him to find her so quickly.
"Speak," I demanded, he nodded before proceeding.
"Her name is Bellamy Rose Valentino and she's the daughter of the ex Alpha Leonard Valentino. They reside in the Eastside which is ruled by her uncle Elliot Valentino. They came to the ball too. She's nineteen years old and is motherless, her mother died while giving birth to her. She's the only daughter of his father," Dorian my beta said. I absorbed the whole new information.
All this time, I heard this girl's name from Lukas's mouth and I couldn't decipher that I was destined with her. This explains why the light only intensified on the Eastern side and whenever Lukas came from the East he always felt like light.
"Tell Genevieve to pack her clothes; we'd be heading to the Eastern side tomorrow. I hope the guest room is ready and tell mother that her dream is almost getting true," I said and with that, I stood up and went to my room to pack a few important things.
I'd have to talk things out with the Alpha and the girl's father. Of course, they would be hesitant to send their daughter with the 'cruel and vicious' king but with or without their permission, she is going to come and live here.

Bellamy Rose
Dominic thinks that the mate bond is too strong for anyone to ignore. Yes, I believe him, I do. But it's been a week- more than a week now and if my mate wanted to accept me he would've come.
My mind was driving me crazy, all I could think was about those electric blue eyes that shook me to the core. The perfect built face, that sharp jaw that could cut millions of hearts. The King was created in such a beautiful way that no one could drop their gazes.
My mate wasn't normal but for the millionth time, he was a King. Why would a King like him accept such an average wolf like me? I am nowhere near his status and the worst thing is he has been hiding from the world since Goddess knows how many years? What made him hide?
Many questions were tossing around in my brain. All I ever wished for was to have a normal life. Why do I get into situations like these?
I stood up from my bed and went towards my huge mirror that was placed just beside my window. I looked at myself from head to my toe. I haven't lost weight and I look normal physically but emotionally I was not. I get these weird pains in my body, Luna Serena said that they were due to the long distance which I have with my mate.
I feel weird addressing him as my 'mate' or the King. I know his name but either way, it's weird addressing him with any word.
"Vincentius," I whispered. I instantly brought my hand to shut my mouth. How could I say the King's name such openly?
The king is our destined soul mate we can call him anything.
My wolf voiced her thoughts. I shook my head and disagreed with her point. 'No, absolutely not. we aren't mates yet. He hasn't accepted me'.
He will. Our mate will.
Time will tell us that. But for now, I don't want to address him as my mate. He is just a King for me and I will address him with that.
"Bellamy darling. Why are you standing over there? You should be relaxing," Papa said as he walked towards me.
"I'm tired of resting papa. I need fresh air," I said as I looked outside my window where endless amounts of trees stood and beyond those trees stood the mountains. And beyond those mountains stands the King.
"But the rest is important for you." Papa still opposed as he kept his hand over my shoulder.
"Papa, what if the King plans on rejecting me, what will I do then? Will I rest on my bed for my whole life?" I asked papa. Papa looked at me with widened eyes.
"No my little girl, don't say stuff like this. He will come and get you. And I will happily send you to your family,'' Papa said as he brought me in for a bear hug.
"Won't you miss me?" I asked him as I looked towards him wanting to see his reaction.
''I will. of course, I will but I'll come to the castle to meet my princess," he said and kissed my forehead.
Just a few seconds ago I was thinking that the King would reject me and leave me as I am and now I started thinking otherwise.
What is happening to me? Why was I overthinking? I groaned in annoyance.
Vincentius what are you doing to me?
