Chapter 14

 Richards POV

I walk inside of James office and I see him inside with a woman and a man looking at him as he looks at them in frustration and respect at the same time. I walk towards James table and he looks at me in pure shock. he begins to talk faster to the man and woman and he suddenly closes his eyes when the man and woman look my way and I freeze. 

its the king and queen. they stand side by side with their heads held high. the king looks at me with daggers in his eyes and the queen becomes nervous at my presence. 

"Richard, it seems that the queen and king will be staying in my pack along side with you and your daughter." says James with a smile trying to lighten up the mood.

"why?" I ask confused.

"watch your mouth" says king Mathew with authority. my head bows down instinctively.

"I'm sorry your highness" I find myself saying.

"it seems my wife wants to spend some time with her daughter. is there anything wrong with that?" the king asks challenging me.

I look at him and then at Kendra and I instinctively say "oh but she can't"

"why not?!" the king roars but I stand my ground "Alex, my daughter hates her mother and she will kill her if she angers her. we can't risk the queen's life"

"please all I have to do is order the girl to not hurt my wife and problem solved." king Mathew says as he looks over at his wife who looks at him happily.

"I don't think your orders will work on her." I say looking at kendra’s expression change from happy to sad. "I mean she's always been a powerful girl and she has never been affected by orders from those superior to her but you are welcome to try."

the king grabs Kendra by her waist and they begin to walk out of the door proudly without a single flaw in their walk and they disappear.

"How did this happen?" I ask James as he sits on his chair putting his hands on his forehead frustrated.

"I don't know Richard. they just showed up out of nowhere. I'm sorry if I had known I would have-"

"It's fine. I just need to warn my daughter before they meet or else she'll try to kill them both" I say walking out of the office.

Alex’s POV

"what's wrong?" Blaise asks as he moves closer to me.

"umm... nothing," I say as I turn to look at the plates and hold them "I made breakfast." he looks at the plates and smiles. at that moment I try to speak to Ruth but when I call her she doesn't respond. "why don't we eat?" I ask him as I lead him to the dining room ignoring Dylan's presence.

"it's delicious." he says as he takes spoonfuls of the food I made.

I can't help myself from smiling and I say "its made with mint. that's why I love this dish."

"you like mint?" he asks looking at me curiously.

"yeah... that's actually your scent." I say taking bites of my food.

he blushes but he tries to hide and I laugh softly feeling somehow embarrassed at my comment. we enjoy our food silently until I say. "so what do you like to do? as in hobbies?"

he looks at me and then he looks at the wall and he says "I love to read books and to play the piano"

"you can play the piano?" I ask surprised "that's so cool I've always wanted to learn but I’m not good with my left hand."

he laughs softly "it takes time and practice but eventually, you'll get it"

"How did you learn?"

he swallows hard and he smiles "my father loved to compose music. he would compose for my mom and he would teach me."

feeling the sadness in his tone I smile and I don't ask about his parents. "my father loved my mother so much that when she died he committed suicide"

I look at him "I'm sorry I don't know what to say"

he smiles "it's fine I've had worst answers."

I look at him and I smile as I put my hand over his head and I pat him "you've done well by yourself Blaise. you are a strong person."

he smiles and he grabs my wrist and I'm immediately saddened that I cant feel the sparks although I know that he can since he looks at my hand with a soft expression. 

we are suddenly interrupted by the sound of a woman and a man walking towards us. I look over to see who it is and my mood changes drastically when I see the number one person that I hate the most in this world.

Blaise’s POV

 the moment when Alex sees the two people walk inside the dining room her face hardens. she looks at the man and woman with cold eyes and I quickly stand up and I see the king and queen standing side by side.

I look at Alex confused until the queen says "Alex! sweetheart!" she steps towards Alex.

"don't move!" Alex commands and even the queen freezes at her command. the queen looks at her feet as if she's trying to figure out why she can't move "if you come near me I will kill you"

"How dare you speak that way to royalty?!" the king exclaims "bow down" he commands "why should I?" Alex asks mad standing strong and proud.

the king looks at her in horror "why didn't my command work on you?"

Alex just looks at him frustrated "how the hell would I know? you're probably just getting old for all I know"

the king moves towards Alex and his mate grabs his arm as I stand in front of Alex in a protective stance. "honey please" says the queen to the king as he slowly calms down.

 the queen turns to look at me and with a disgusted face, she says "so he’s your mate?" she smiles "don't worry sweetheart I brought to you the perfect husband. now you don't have to stay with this runt." at the moment she says that a man on a suit with blond hair and green eyes comes inside. "this is Xander, he’s the richest man in the whole kingdom" the queen says with a smile on her face.

"This bitch is crazy" I hear Alex say as she begins to run towards the queen but I grab her waist and pull her away. I sit her down on the dining table but she looks at the queen with murder intentions clearly showing in her eyes. 

the queen looks at Alex confused and then her expression changes to a hateful look "don't tell me you actually want that piece of garbage?" she asks pointing at me. "no daughter of mine is going to marry an omega!" she screams madly.

suddenly I see Alex run towards the queen and punch her in the face sending her backwards with a scream "I'm not your daughter!" Alex screams.

 the room is suddenly filled with silence as we hear a loud growl erupt from the king and he suddenly shifts into his giant golden wolf.

from the corner of my eye, I see alpha Richard run inside of the dining room and he whispers "shit, I'm too late"

the queen then shifts and she runs towards me. everything happens so fast that don't see it coming when she bites my leg.

Alex’s POV

suddenly I see her wolf attack Blaise and I run towards them. I grab the fork that I was using for my food and I stab her wolf in the neck. she begins to whine as she cries out from the pain and she's suddenly laying down on the floor naked in her human form with a fork on her throat. 

I look at Blaise in horror his leg is bleeding and he has a huge bite on his leg. he smiles "it's fine Alex ill be fine. werewolves heal fast."

the moment he says that I begin to cry. I cry because I don't feel the mate bond and it hurts to know that I might never feel it again. I cry because he’s hurt. I cry because although we no longer have that special connection with each other from my side he’s still someone precious.

'do you realize it now?' I hear Ruth's voice in my head 'the bond is only there to help you out. it's not something that binds you together. it's just something that helps you realize how you feel about that person before its too late' she stops talking for a moment and she says 'if the mates bond wasn't there you would have still realized that you loved him eventually but you would realize it in years, and sometimes its too late.'

I look at him with tears in my eyes as I feel guilty forever questioning my feelings for this man. he grabs my hand and I feel the static-like feeling in my hand sending shivers down my back.

'Ruth' I say as I slowly stand up to face the wolf of the king that is enraged with me for stabbing his mate. I look over at that woman who is now covered with a white table cloth. she no longer has the fork on her throat and it's slowly healing as she looks at me in horror with the guy she brought holding her in a sitting position.  'I love this man, so help me out here'

'with pleasure' Ruth says in her evil voice. I can hear her excitement for blood. she wants to hear the king scream as she tears him up into pieces. she wants to hear him beg for his life and she wants to taste his blood.

'oh, you ruthless thing' is the last thing I say to her before I shift.
