Charlotte, the flight attendant came back with their food and both of them began to eat in silence. Valentina didn't even want to talk to Alexander. He was acting as if he had known Kendra based on the few altercations he had been told about. Bringing up Kendra and thinking about her still hurt Valentina because she was just like her sister and they left things off terribly. “Your phone and social media will be monitored.” Valentina stopped eating immediately and dropped her fork loudly on the glass plate. "What do you mean? Why?" she asked and he looked up at her making her to take a sharp and long breath in. His face was still and it showed no emotions at all. Valentina noticed that ever since yesterday something in him had changed. Not that she knew him very well but he was her mate, after all. "You can't post or let anyone know you are my mate yet. You have to go through the training first," he said with his voice deep and demanding. Valentina rolled her eyes, forgettin
The car stopped and Valentina was guessing that they had gotten to the Palace. She didn't feel nervous at all and she really didn't understand why. Alexander turned his head towards her before he spoke. "Your luggage is in your room. I will have maids sent to help you unpack,” he said. “No, that is fine. I want to unpack my luggage by myself," Valentina objected. “Okay, but I will still send the maids to introduce themselves,” he said and she nodded her head in agreement. He stepped out of the car and came to her side to open the door for her, then he put her hand in his and she got out of the car. A man in a black suit closed the car door and Alexander put his hand on Valentina's lower back. She could see the Palace and it amazed her. It was huge and so breathtaking that she had to stop and stare at it. The roof of the entire castle was black and it was so big that it looked like it had a hundred rooms. It most likely did have that many rooms, Valentina decided as they cont
It was as if the room was made for Valentina. She didn't even want to touch it. It was so beautiful and it was definitely better then the one back home. The room was really big, and it had beautiful cream walls with tiny gold specs on them. There were two doors and she knew one of them led to the bathroom and the other to the closet. Her bed was so beautiful that she was scared to sleep in it. There was not enough black in this room but it was still gorgeous. The room was twice the size of her old room back in her house at her pack. There was a huge vanity that looked like it was made from the finest materials. It was placed in front of her bed and the mirror was so clear that she could see every detail of her bed's reflection. To the right of Valentina's room there was a huge window. She walked towards it and opened the gold and cream drapes as light from outside spilled into the room. From that point of view, she could see the car that she and Alexander just got out of. The
“Valentina, we don't have time for this," Alexander said in his usual deep tone that made Valentina to shiver. Valentina knew that they didn't because she wanted to make at least a good impression on the King and Queen but being late wasn't going to help. "No, I decide what we have time for from now on, Prince Charming," she said while smiling sweetly. She knew that she kept pushing his dominance but she didn't care. She looked towards the door so that they wouldn't have to talk anymore. "We can go to dinner, ” he said but she looked towards the door, not wanting to talk anymore. Shay was bouncing around in her head and she needed food so she decided to just get this over with. Alexander walked towards the door and opened it for her, then he held out his other hand. Valentina took it and he closed the door behind them. He grabbed onto her waist, swinging his arm around it as they quickly walked down the hallway. Valentina knew that she had won but out of defeat, because their ba
Valentina was laying on this comfortable ass bed tossing and turning, and for some reason she couldn't sleep. She had been trying to sleep for two hours now, and she was wearing a white silk pajama set. She had also tried going on her phone to distract her but it was just plain boring. She got up and her feet instantly hit the cold floor, so she could feel the draught in this very large castle. It was so cold and she didn't understand why. Valentina walked to her drawer and got a fluffy black robe. Then she walked towards the large door and opened it, going outside her room and closing the door behind her. The hallway was dark and cold as usual, and she rolled her eyes. She should have just grabbed her phone so that she could use it for a light. Valentina found her way to Alexander's door and let out a breath. She knew what she was doing and she know what the consequences were. She took another deep breath before knocking on the door. Then she stood there waiting for the door
Valentina just got out of the shower and decided to dress for training. She brushed her wet hair and put it in a ponytail. Then she put on lotion, deodorant, and her underwear. She pulled on a white workout set that she got from her mom. Her mom always complained about the contents of her closet but also helped to contribute to the "problem." That reminded Valentina that she needed to call her mom so she decided that she would call her before she went to train with Alexander. So she walked to her bedside table and picked up her phone, going to the phone app and tapping on her mom's contact. Mrs. Sharpe answered immediately. "Oh my God, Val. I thought you were dead," she said and Valentina rolled her eyes even though her mom couldn't see her, and chuckled at her too. "Don't be so melodramatic, mother," she said while still laughing. "You were supposed to call me sooner, Val,” she said in a sad and concerned tone. "I know, and I am sorry, mom. It has just been so overwhelming," V
Valentina felt really sick. The motorcycle was extremely fast and she had never planned on ever getting on one. Then again she had never planned on getting on a plane, but Alexander must insist on killing her. He seemed to be enjoying this, but she not so much. "When are we going to stop Alexander?" she yelled at the top of her lungs while her arms tightened around his torso. Valentina could feel him laughing at her and now more than ever, all she wished for was to punch him. He didn't answer her question so she just kept her head down to avoid the view of them moving. ***She had been on this death trap for about twenty to thirty minutes. That was extremely long and she hadn't opened her eyes either. She felt the motorcycle start to slow down and eventually it stopped all together. With her head still down, Alexander took off his helmet, and her arms were still tightly wrapped around him. "Val, you can let go now. We are here,” he said and she could hear the amusement in his ton
For the rest of these two weeks, Alexander had been taking Valentina on daily dates, and they had also been having the usual awkward dinners with the king and Queen. They usually said little things to Valentina and to each other. But today would be the day that Valentina would start her Queen's training. She was still laying on her bed and she just got off the phone with her brother, Jamie. He was doing well and he told Valentina that their mom and dad were doing fine too. So she guessed that they were handling the change good enough. She heard a knock on her door and she already knew that it was not Alexander because she would be able to smell him by now. Also now that they were both marked, she could kind of feel him when he was close. "Come in," she called out. The door soon opened and Valentina sat up in the bed with her hair everywhere. It was Sarah and Nora, and after a while Valentina was able to tell the difference. Sarah was the talkative one and she kind of had a slimm
