Chapter 75: At University

The day Prince Leo, the charismatic Prince of Scandinavia and popular pop star stepped off the private jet in London. It was a big day for him - his first day of university. As he walked through the bustling streets, the excited whispers and curious glances followed him. Leo had always been in the spotlight, but he yearned for a normal life. This was his chance to blend in and make lasting memories.

The University of London welcomed him with open arms, and Leo couldn't help but feel a mixture of nerves and excitement. As he settled into his dorm room, Leo reminded himself that he was just like any other freshman, ready to embark on this new chapter of his life, hoping the two years of Political Science and Business Administration would roll by fast.

Days turned into weeks, and Leo immersed himself in his studies, determined to succeed academically despite his celebrity status. Yet, the longing to see his loved ones tugged at his heartstrings. Leo missed his best friend, Tanner, who had chosen to study at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. They had always been inseparable, and the distance weighed heavily on him. He missed his sick mom, Queen Estrella and hoped that Portia and her mom would take good care of her.

One crisp autumn weekend, Leo decided to surprise Tanner by visiting him in Scotland. He hopped on his private jet, his heart filled with anticipation. When he arrived in Edinburgh, he couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the ancient city. It was a stark contrast to the fast-paced world he was used to. At the airport, his entourage of friends who were his security guards walked to the exit. Suddenly, that smell wafted to him. It brought warmth and comfort to his heart. Who could it be?

The next day as he walked towards Tanner's dormitory, that familiar scent filled his nostrils. The fragrance was sweet and comforting - the unmistakable scent of someone familiar yet distant. Leo's senses heightened, his heart pounding with confusion. Who could this be?

Unsettled but determined to see Tanner, Leo continued his journey. But just as he was about to reach the dormitory, a group of what appeared to be acting students caught his attention. Their purposeful strides and serious expressions intrigued Leo, and he couldn't help but wonder who they were.

Curiosity piqued, Leo decided to follow the entourage, at a discreet distance behind. He weaved through the narrow streets of Edinburgh, his heart pounding with anticipation. What secrets were these people hiding? And were they somehow connected to the inexplicable scent?

As Leo rounded a corner, he caught sight of a grand building - the University of Edinburgh. It suddenly dawned on him that this must be where the entourage was headed. His mind raced with questions, but he knew he had to find Tanner before anything else. With newfound determination, Prince Leo quickened his pace, ready to unravel the mystery that awaited him.

Days passed into weeks after he visited Edinburgh University. On a cold day in November, Prince Leo, dressed in his signature leather jacket and sunglasses, stood at the entrance of the grand theatre where the charity event was taking place. Flashing cameras and excited whispers filled the room as guests eagerly awaited his arrival.

As Leo made his way inside, he couldn't help but notice a familiar face in the crowd. He knew that face but couldn't put a place where he had seen her before. She looked stunning in her elegant gown. His heart skipped a beat, but something seemed off about her. The scent she carried was familiar and confused his senses. He knew this scent, His chatty wolf said, sister. He said, "What in the world? I do not have a sister!"

"Hello!" Leo called out, unable to contain his excitement. But when the young lady turned to face him, he felt a sudden wave of annoyance. His mind played tricks on him, and he couldn't quite put a finger on why. Then he spotted Tanner not far away.

"Leo," Tanner said, his voice tinged with disappointment. "I didn't expect to see you here." "I wanted to surprise you," Leo said, his frustration creeping into his tone."

Tanner's eyes filled with concern as he studied his friend. "Tanner, fancy seeing you here." Leo replied, "I have a gig set up for tonight's charity show."

Leo's heart sank, guilt flooding his thoughts. He had been so caught up in his own life that he had forgotten about letting Tanner know he would be performing tonight. Tanner was so involved with Bea that he forgot to let Leo know he was coming with her to London. Are these friends shifting away from each other?

Tanner gave him a high five and said, "Way to go, my friend. Just remember to let me know next time. Bea is performing tonight as well. "Leo replied, and you do the same. Who is Bea?" Tanner laughed, I will introduce you to her after your performance."

As the evening progressed, Leo's attention shifted to the stage, where a play was being performed. His best friend, girl Beatrice, had always dreamed of becoming an actress, and Leo couldn't miss the chance to see her in action. He strained his ears, catching glimpses of her voice amidst the other actors. He could not get rid of the thought that he knew her.

Beatrice, too, felt his presence. She could sense him in the room, the twin energy pulling at her. But when their eyes met, Leo's expression turned cold, a frown marring his features. Confusion and hurt washed over Beatrice, and she quickly turned her attention back to the play, ignoring him.

The pleasant smell wafted toward his dressing room. He heard her stop by his room door. Nervous about meeting his friend mate. He ignored the rap on the door although his wolf propelled him to open the door. As she was stepping away, he came face to face with her. She was beautiful and he felt a tug at his heart and warmth and comfort filling his body. He asked her, what do you want?" She shook her head and walked away. What was that he questioned. His entire attention was on the girl. Then he said. "excuse me." She moved aside and gave him room to pass. She thought how rude! Without a backward glance, he moved on to backstage.

At the end of his performance, his wolf said, "Sister." Who is my sister he asked. but his wolf was silent. Determined to make amends, Leo searched for a way to reach Tanner. He spotted him standing with a group of friends. Leo approached them, hoping to bridge the gap between him and his best friend girl, Beatrice through her closest confidante, Tanner. Leo said let's hang out tonight at Y Tavern. Please bring Bea a swell.

Tanner glanced at him, a flicker of concern in his eyes. "Leo, she's been distant lately. I think something's bothering her." Leo said let us just hang out. Tanner said that she went back to the apartment as she was having a headache. Leo said, "Okay." Tanner called Bea and asked her to come over so she could meet Leo. She said, "Tan I do not want to meet him, he is rude." Tanner was a bit puzzled. Everyone loved Leo how could his mate not like him? He has to investigate why she felt that way. They are too similar for them not to get along.

By and by, the evening rolled on. Tanner was drunk and Leo used the opportunity to go to their apartment. He was determined to make things right with Bea. When he got there the bedroom door was closed and she was snoring gently. His wolf once again said, 'sister." Leo is an only child how could he possibly have a sister he questioned himself. But that did not remove that warm fuzzy feeling he gets when he is close by and her scent was only too familiar. Leo nodded, a mix of hope and uncertainty flooding his thoughts. He couldn't shake the feeling that their connection went deeper than he could understand as if their minds were playing a game of their own.
