Chapter 41: Love difficult times.-2

As he passed by, I caught a glimpse of his profile, and my heart skipped a beat. The shape of his nose, the curve of his eyebrows – it was as if I was staring into a mirror, but a masculine version of myself.

His aura was making everybody bend their heads in submission. I couldn't get myself to bend my head in submission. His eyes met mine, and he looked at me for a few minutes before turning and heading in the other direction.

I was really confused as to why I felt so much connection to him. It wasn't romantic attraction; it felt like a family bond, like a familiar bond. I couldn't explain it.

I said to myself there was no way I was ever related to the royal family.

After we were done getting everything, we headed back to the House to pack up and have dinner so we can rest and leave tomorrow

Even though we kissed a few times, I didn't let him go any further and he understood. He said whenever I'm ready, he'll be ready.

While we were having dinner, Damian's phone rang. I gave him a look, and he said, "Oh, my block is up, so no one can mind-link."

He picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Mom." His mom sounded panicked and said, "Damian, you and Sofia need to come back to the pack ground immediately. Something really big has happened, something unexpected.

The call ended abruptly, leaving us both concerned and confused

Unknown pov:

I hate being back. I hate coming back here, but I didn't really have much of a choice. It was an order from the king, and I didn't have much of a choice but to obey.

Sitting down here, driving back to the royal pack, has really made me uncomfortable. We're passing by a mall, and I felt drawn to it, as if something was calling me inside.

I told the driver to stop. I needed to go to the mall to pick up a few things – a gift for my father and something for my uncle.

Because I left the human territory in a hurry, we have about four SUVs escorting us. That's how protective my uncle is, and I don't blame him. He has lost so much, and the few loved ones he has left, he protects them with everything he has.

Before I came down from the car, the security had to sweep the area to make sure there was no threat. The door was opened, and I stepped out, entering the mall.

Everybody was standing and bending their heads in submission – security protocol. Nobody moves when the Royals are around. But there was this particular girl who wasn't looking down. She had a striking resemblance to me – same black coils with stripes of silver, same eye color. It was as if I was staring into a mirror.

Her features, her eyes, her hair – everything about her screamed "family". I felt a strong connection to her, and I couldn't help but wonder who she was.

I felt drawn to her, and that resemblance gave her away. I couldn't help but wonder if she was exactly who I've been meaning to meet.

After staring at her for a few minutes, I entered a jewelry store to get gifts for my uncle and father. After shopping, I came out of the mall and we started driving back to the royal pack.

I couldn't help but think about the girl I saw at the mall. She had an uncanny resemblance to someone I knew, a face I hadn't seen in a very long time. I couldn't help but wonder if she was Rosa's daughter.
