Chapter 25: Chapter 25

Prince Killian's Point of View

It hurt that she had ran away but I couldn't blame her. Not after the way I had treated her. My wolf was growling in my head. He was pissed at me. Pissed that I hurt Eliana, our fated mate. Goddess, I was pissed at myself. I walked to the castle, and my parents were still standing in front. I looked around at everyone who had found their fated mates. They were all so happy.

"Killian, what's wrong?" My mom asked

"I found my fated mate," I said

"That is a good thing. Wait, it isn't Nikki, right?" My mom asked

"No, it's not Nikki," I replied and my mom sighed in relief

"Good. Then why are you so upset? Don't tell me you plan on rejecting her," My mom said

"No, I would never do that," I basically growled at my mom. "I am so sorry, Mom," I said

"It's fine. I understand. If you don't plan on rejecting her, then what's the problem?" I asked

"I fucked up," I replied

"Let's go talk inside," My dad said

"I am not going to lie, son. That is a lot. I can see why she ran away from you," My dad said.I was in the family room with my mom and dad. I had just gave them the short version of twhat had happened between Eliana and me.

"Yeah, son. I can't believe you would treat such a wonderful girl so wrong," My mom said

"You know her?" I asked

"I met her earlier today, and she is amazing. Her younger sister on the other hand is something else. I am so happy she isn't the one that became your mate," My mom said. I thought about James and how he was seeing Lilian. I wondered if my mom had put two and two together and realized that she was the girl he brought to the party.

"Mom, you do know James brought Lilian here, right?" I asked

"Yeah, but I'm not worried about that. They are not mates. That means they are not meant to be," my mom said, and I knew she was right. I could tell James didn't really like Lilian that much. I was sure he was only still seeing her because he didn't want to hurt her feelings. I would have to talk to him about that. Eliana was my mate, and I was not going to let him get between us because of his relationship with Lilian. Eliana loved her little sister even though I could tell her sister wasn't the best to her. There were so many times I wanted to tell Lilian off because of the way she was talking to Eliana. Thinking about it, I knew my mom was right. Lilian was definitely not the best person.

"So what do you plan on doing?" My dad said

"I don't know, Dad. All I know is that I can't live without her. I fell for her before I foud out she was my mate but I was to afraid to admit it. I am a fool," I said

"I can tell you really care about her. I have never heard you talk like this about any woman before. Just leave it to me. I will help you," My mom said

"How?" I asked

I was so nervous when my mom told me her plan. She was going to have Eliana stay in one of the rooms in her and Dad's chambers. That way, I could talk to her in private. I waited in my old room. Suddenly, James walked inside.

"Dad said you were here. Why are you here?" James asked

"I guess I might as well let you know. Eliaan is my fated mate," I said, and James looked at me with a shocked expression

"What? Really? I knew you had a thing for her, but I didn't expect that she would be your fated mate. Wow, man. This is deep. I mean, you did a lot of things. Does she know that you are fated mates?" James asked me

"Yeah, she knows. She sensed it too. She ran away from me," I said

"Yeah, I guess she would after the way you have been acting. What are you going to do? Are you going to reject her?" James asked

"No!" I growled

"Okay, sorry. I was just asking," James said

"What about Nikki? You just made her your girlfriend," James said

"That was fake. I only did it because I was afraid of my feelings for ELiana. Nothing has happened between us since I met Eliana. Nothing has happened between me or any other girl either," I said

"This is deep. I never thought I would see the day that you found your fated mate. You know, I had a feeling you were faking it with Nikki. I just didn't know why. So what is your plan?" James asked

"I am going to go talk to her in the room Mom put her in. That is why mom decided to have them stay here," I said

"Oh, that makes sense. You know Mom really likes Eliana," James said

"I know," I replied. It made me happy that my mom liked her

"She doesn't seem to like Lilian that much. I guess they met earlier, and she gave mom a bad vibe," James said

"You know, Mom can sense these types of things. She is always right," I said

"I know. Either way, I knew it wasn't going to work out between us. She is not the one for me. I was going to break up with her," James said

"About that. Make sure you do it softly. She is Eliana's sister. I already have to make things right. I don't want there to be any other issues," I said

"I know. I am going to let her down gently," James said

"Good! Now I have something to do," I said

"What?" James asked

"I have to go talk to Eliana."
