Bellamy Rose
ONE MONTH later...
It's been a dull one month. I am trying to coordinate with the Royals but it's very difficult to adopt a lifestyle that is completely new and different from mine. Everything that the Royals do is with class and balance and it's very awkward to try and copy them. The Queen and Princess have been extremely sweet with me, they take extra care of me, they indulge me in their activities.
Lukas has been a great friend of mine, we quarrel about everything, we tease each other, we make each other's life a living hell but it's all good. We've become very close, which is quite shocking.
However, I hardly see my mate. He does not want anything to do with me. I don't feel any pain because there's no distance between us now but there's this emptiness that is inside of me which I am aware of. It's like my heart is craving and yearning for something but it can't reach it. My mate avoids me like a plague. He hardly looks at me. He avoids making his path towards where I stand.
But apart from all this, I am fine. I am. I talk to Papa almost every day now. Sophia and Dominic along with Valerie come and visit me almost every week. The Queen adores Dominic. But I feel as if something weird is going around between Sophia and Prince Hernandez.
Last week, Prince Hernandez met my friends for the very first time. He and Sophia were lost in each other's gazes. There was a weird aura around them but I plan on finding it this week when Sophia comes.
It was evening and I decided to water my plants. I had started my routine of planting different flowers around three weeks ago and I daily water them now. I have a weird connection with my plants. I feel as if they understand me, they understand the emptiness that is inside of me. Whenever I feel low, I go to them and they instantly bloom.
I sometimes relate my mate with a rose, which is quite strange. A rose is beautiful. It is the King of all flowers but at the same time, it is critical. It has thorns all over it to protect itself so it is touched with great care. My mate is the King of all Alphas but I want to know why are his walls so high? Why is he protecting himself from me?
I look at my roses and admire them, they are so beautiful. I wish I was a rose too. I sense someone behind me and turn around to see Princess Genevieve and Prince Lukas.
"We are bored and so are you," Lukas said as he huffed. Princess Genevieve looked at him and nodded in agreement.
"True and we were thinking to go out for a run. Do you want to accompany us?" she said as she looked at me in hope of accepting her suggestion.
My inner wolf suddenly wanted to come out so bad. I realized that it's been a month since I've last released my wolf. Feeling guilty, I accepted her offer that was too tempting for my inner wolf.
"Great! Come on, let's show you our Royal forest," Lukas said as he started leading the way.
After around fifteen minutes of walking, we finally reached the forest. The forest held such a strong aura that it was quite threatening to even enter. Lukas looked at me and a moment of realization dawned on him.
"You must be feeling scared, Right?" he said as I nodded. "That is because Vince put a spell on the forest for the outsiders. But since you're one of us, I'll inform Vincent to alter the spell. Right now, you can come and stay with us. Don't go elsewhere, it'll be dangerous for you," he said in a much serious voice now.
I was confused but I didn't question further. We started walking in the forest and I instantly got distracted by its beauty. There were lush green trees that stood so high that I couldn't see how far they could stand. Many wild plants covered the whole ground.
I didn't realize that Princess Genevieve and Lukas had already transferred into their wolf forms. They stood in front of me looking at me with their gazes that held something which wasn't familiar to me. I looked timid in front of them even though I wasn't in my wolf form yet. They were Lycans and me? I was just an ordinary wolf.
I started looking here and there awkwardly. I didn't feel comfortable changing into my wolf form in front of them. They must have felt my hesitancy as they turned around. I hurriedly gave dominance to my inner wolf as I sat back and saw her coming into her form.
My wolf howled, letting the persons in front of her acknowledge her presence. They both turned around and they looked stunned. My wolf in front of them was small yet she stayed bold. I had always loved how brave and bold my wolf was. This was something I had always admired.
All three of them looked at each other mentally giving a nod as they started running. I looked at my wolf and felt proud. She ran as confidently as she did and maintained strong throughout the run. My inner wolf wasn't like me. I am shy while she is confident. I care about what people think and she doesn't give a damn.
They ran and ran. Dodging every obstacle that came in their way. I was so engrossed and fascinated by my wolf that I didn't realize that she had lost track with Princess and Lukas.
'Stop, Emerine. Stop' I tried to say. But she couldn't listen as she was determined on running.
'Emerine, we don't know where we're heading, STOP EMERINE,' I shouted.
Emerine had blocked all the voices. I knew she always does this while she was running and I didn't mind it but right now, the situation was much different. Right now, we weren't aware of our whereabouts. This forest wasn't familiar to us.
All of a sudden, Emerine came to a halt. I got confused for a second. Why did Emerine stop? When I looked up I was shocked to the core. There in front of me stood my Lycan mate who too was in his wolf form.
I had no control over Emerine. She started making her way towards our mate. She howled in yearn. She was sad. She wanted our mate to accept us. She craved for our mate.
'Emerine no, stop. Don't do this,' I tried to say but it was useless. Emerine was in a chant.
Now she stood in front of our mate. She looked at him with adored eyes. She started nuzzling into our mate's fur. Our mate, our other wolf stood there rooted. He didn't move instead he stayed. His eyes spoke something vulnerable as if he didn't want Emerine to stop.
Emerine cried. She was upset. She not only wanted to feel the love that we yearned by herself alone, but she also wanted me to feel it.
I looked at our mate and my wolf. It was a beautiful sight. I was in awe. I wanted this too. I wanted every bit of it. All of a sudden, my mate stopped himself. He looked at us giving both of us a longing look as if he didn't want to leave but he had to.
And both of us saw our mate running further deeply in the woods. We both sighed. It was painful to see how close you were with that one thing that you wanted, that you craved for but you couldn't have it.
"Bellamy?" I heard Princess Genevieve with concern laced in her voice. My wolf turned towards her and with sad eyes, she went behind a huge tree and gave full control to me.
"I am so sorry, my wolf, she just kept on running," I said as I came out from behind the tree revealing myself.
"It's okay. I understand," she said as she looked at me. Maybe she understands more than what she's saying.
We decided to head back to the castle as it was getting dark. I was feeling tired and overwhelmed from the run as well.

Vincentius Dante
I ran as fast as I could, trying to intake as much oxygen. I returned to my original form as I started panting and gasped for air. The feeling that rushed inside of me when my mate nuzzled my fur was inexpressible.
And my response was way too shocking for me. I felt as if my mind and body worked on its own. My heart was beating frantically. I felt something, a spark. For the very first time, I felt something beautiful inside of me. Something that lit my heart, that sparked it.
I saw my mate's wolf for the first time and she was so glorious. Her soft fur. I still remember the tingling sensation that I just went through. One of the best feelings I have ever felt.
What are you doing to me, my mate? Why are you making me feel new emotions?
I looked ahead of me and I saw huge mountains that stood with each other, protecting my kingdom as a barrier. Under my rule, my kingdom has been safe and sound. And I want it to stay that way. If I bare a weakness behind my back not only my mate will be in grave danger but the whole kingdom as well.
My father in his time did nothing for the people except he made them suffer and I want to pay them back for all their sacrifices.
Oh my, mate...
