            Over 2 weeks had passed since my run in with the King and I was still completely unable to get him out of my mind. Every night I was having the same dream, over and over again.

            I found myself in a green field, surrounded with towering trees along the outskirts. There was a white path below my bare feet, which I had followed into the centre of the field. Amongst me, there were hundreds of flower beds consuming the field. The sun shon down on the beautiful lilies and dandelions, making their colours shine brighter.

            Before me stood a lone blossom tree, in the middle of the field. The branches hung as the blossom had bloomed. It was shaped almost like an umbrella. Under the tree stood a man on his own, but I was too far to see his face. Instead, the sweet scent of vanilla cookies consumed me and I was desperate to reach the source.

            The scent took me closer and closer to the man and the tree.

            As I got closer, I recognised the man stood in front of me. His emerald eyes connected with mine and he smiled. Upon seeing his smile, my heart skipped a beat. His dark brown hair was blowing in the wind but I was now concentrating on his bare torso. His bulky chest housed a wolf on the right hand side. The wolf had ocean blue eyes, the same as mine. His arms were covered in tattoos, all which seemed to have a meaning. Above his wrist, at the end of his tattooed right arm was a date. As I got closer to him, I could see the date marked. 

            15.05.2003.

            Wait… that’s my birthday, I realised. Why did Nate have my birthday tattooed on him?

            I ran towards him. He opened his arms and I threw myself into them. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He spun me around whilst nuzzling his face in my neck. 

            “I missed you” Nate sighed.

            He placed me down against the tree and I trailed my hand down his ripped torso, making sure to feel every ab in sight before my eyes scanned the prominently defined V which led down to his shorts.

            “Nate, why is my birthday tattooed on your arm?” I looked up at him.

            “Be patient little one, the time will come.”

            And just like that, the dream ended. Every single time. 

            It was clear Nate had been avoiding me as he never seemed to be around, even though my new friends told me he was usually heavily involved in the students lives. I shouldn’t care anyway, it wasn’t like anything had actually happened. Granted, we had a strange, intense moment but that was all it was… a moment. Nothing more, nothing less. 

    I shouldn’t even be paying it any mind, yet it’s all I seem able to think about. Maybe I was just a horny teenager with a crush on a man with authority, it’s not exactly unusual. However, something was nagging at me. He seemed just as invested as I was, in that moment, if not more so. There was more to it, I was certain. But it felt like a puzzle and someone had hid the missing piece.

            I had seen him once though, when he was training. He was out on the field, taking on over 6 students, demonstrating how to defeat your enemy even when you were severely outnumbered.

            I knew he was strong, but I didn’t expect him to have the academy’s strongest warriors on the floor within moments. However, when I watched him all I could think about was how much I wanted him to put me on the floor and straddle me.

            Since he left my room, he hadn’t spoken a word to me but I had still caught him numerous times watching me from a distance. Clearly he was trying to make sure I wasn’t admiring any other men, but why shouldn’t I when I was getting no attention from him?

            I had asked Maddie if the King was the jealous type and she told me they had never noticed him caring about any of the women he slept with. To be truthful, hearing he had slept with other women caused my heart pain. I’m not sure why though. We hadn’t slept together and without access to my wolf, I wasn’t even sure it was possible for me to have a mate. Plus, if he was my mate then why wouldn’t he tell me? I pushed the thought to the back of my mind, putting the feelings down to just an insane crush on the King. If he thought he could tell me what to do like I was another one of his conquests, he was going to be shocked.

            As the days passed, I had become more and more infuriated at the King’s avoidance. On my first day, Maddie had told me the quickest way to get into trouble was for I appropriate clothing. So taking my new best friends accidental advice, today I was going to get dressed in the sexiest clothes I had in hopes of being sent to the King.

            After Maddie and I had our coffee on the balcony, which has quickly become a morning ritual, I rushed to the shower.

            “He’s going to kill you” Maddie laughed.

            I had told her all about the interaction with Nate and what my plan was for the day.

            “I don’t mind a little punishment if he’s the one punishing me” I winked back at her.

            After washing my body and ensuring the only hair I had on me was on top of my head, I walked out to my wardrobe to choose an outfit.

            “Shower is free Mads” I shouted.

            Shaking her head and laughing at me whilst I was I inspecting all the clothes I had, Maddie started to get ready for the day.

            I pulled out a pink shorts and sports bra set from Bo & Tee. The shade of pink was bright but not quite hot pink, more like a coral shade.

            The sports bra had spaghetti straps, which led to a v-neck. It was fair to say only a little bit of my chest was left to the imagination. The shorts were short-shorts, but high waisted and came up just above my pierced belly button. My bum was covered but the shorts only stretched down to around 4cm of my thigh.

            I looked in the mirror and smiled. The coral set perfectly complemented my olive skin. You could even see my nipple piercings slightly through the top. I chucked on my white adidas runners and sat at my vanity table.

            I curled the end of my long blonde hair before brushing out the curls, leaving a wavy effect. I applied some tinted moisturiser and a clear lipgloss.

            “You are such a tease” Maddie joked.

            I turned round to see her stood in pair of purple cycling shorts and a matching purple sports bra which zipped up at the front.

            “I’m technically not breaking any rules, I’m in sportswear” I smirked.

            Maddie shook her head, laughing.

            “Excuse me Miss, let’s unzip the sports bra a little. I’ve seen you checking out Joe” I winked at her.

            Maddie giggled and looked in the mirror, whilst pulling down her sports bra zip slightly.

            She spun around and linked my arm.

            “Let’s go”.

            We ate breakfast in the dining room with our friends Katie, Amber, Joe and Archie. I had seen Joe watching Maddie and I could tell he liked her. Every time she spoke his eyes lit up. He would always sit next to him and listen attentively to what she was saying. They often giggled between themselves.

            Maddie noticed Joe eyeing up her sports bra before looking back at me smiling. I winked back at her and thought about how much I loved my friends here. I had technically met Joe first, he was the one who had spoken to my father through his car window when I first arrived. Little did I know at the time he would become one of my best friends.

            He was also the packs strongest warrior, after Nate. Once he has finished his university studies with the academy he would be stepping up to Nate’s second in command.

            “You know he’s gonna lose his shit when he sees you dressed like that, S?” Joe laughed.

            “I told her!” Maddie protested

            “I feel like you guys aren’t understanding.. that is the point of wearing this!” I stuck my tongue out at them both.

            “Well if I was straight, I’d fancy you in it S” Archie joked, resting his head on my shoulder.

            “I think everyone fancies her in it” Katie laughed, nodding her head towards the rest of the room.

            I looked round to see a bunch of lust hungry males reviewing my outfit.

            “Well you know what they say.. if you’ve got it, flaunt it” we all laughed at my comment.

            Before we knew it, it was time for our first class of the day.

            We walked as a group to History of Wolves, making our way through dozens of students.

            Suddenly, the smell of vanilla  consumed me as the hairs on my neck stood up.

            “SERENA BLACKMORE, MY OFFICE. NOW” the King thundered behind me, turning on his heels and striding towards his office.

            My friends turned round to look at me and laughed.

            With a worried look on her face, Maddie grabbed my arm. “Don’t be stupid please. I’ll tell Mr Edwards you are running late”.

            I nodded and turned to follow Nate, excitement rushing through my body.

            I hadn’t expected to bump into him this early, in fact I presumed I was going to be sent to his office by one of my lecturers.

            Thinking back to the Kings growl as I watched him storm ahead, arousal consumed my body. 

            I could have sworn a vein was due to pop out of his neck, which only turned me on more knowing I could make him this angry.

            Arriving at his office, I walked in and he slammed the door shut behind me.

            On the white desk sat his MacBook and 3 large files. His white desk chair had its back to the grey walls. A tall white bookshelf took up a 3rd of the wall on the left, completely filled with numerous werewolf history books. 

            On the right hand side of his desk stood a large floor to ceiling window, the same as in my room, which allowed him to supervise activities on the field. 

            The room was complimented with the same white marble floor the foyer had.

            I turned to see a very angry Nate looking at me. His jaw was clenched as he ran his hand through his luscious dark brown locks.

            He was wearing slim fit grey suit bottoms and another white suit shirt.

            Honestly if looks could kill, I’d have been laid on the floor 2 minutes ago.

            “Care to explain yourself, Serena?” His tone was dark and angry, but the second he spoke to me the world stopped.

    Five years later…Laughter filled the room next door, followed by a hasty “shh!” by Nate.I shook my head in dismay, chuckling as I overheard the scene. I flipped the duvet off my legs, before shuffling my feet inside the slippers resting at my bedside.I tiptoed across the floorboards, desperately trying to not make a sound, before gently twisting the door to our bed chambers.I creeped along the hallway until I reached the door of our nursery. I quietly rested my head against the wooden frame, listening in to whatever was so amusing.“Ahhh!” Nate exclaimed, before being followed by a concerning loud thud. Giggles echoed thereafter, as footsteps of tiny feet could be heard pitter-pattering along the floorboards.Choosing to go with the element of surprise, I abruptly flung open the door before me. Suddenly, three pairs of alarmed eyes cast over me as they realised they’d been caught in the act.I folded my arms across my chest, pretending to be furious at what I had found. “Well well

    “You’re pregnant?” Amber squealed, as she jumped up and down in excitement. “With a baby?” Terror overlooked Archie’s face, he was never much a kid person. “This is so exciting!” Maddie exclaimed, clapping her hands together repeatedly. I laughed loudly at each other their reactions, before placing my hand on Archie’s shoulder. “Yes, Archie. With a baby.” His eyes widened. “Oh goddess.” He muttered, before his eyes darted to the floor. Anyone would think it was him who was having a pup. “Could this day get any more special?” Maddie welled up beside me, wafting her hand against her face in order to protect her makeup. I gleamed as looked at each of my best friends, each so beautiful in their own way. We’d already faced so many challenges together and this would be another to add to the list. Maddie was right, today truly couldn’t become any more special. As Maddie and Amber donned their pale blue bridesmaid dresses, the realty of my future started to set in. This is what we had

  • The King Alpha’s Mate   Sixty Eight

    Nate had insisted I went to see the nurse this morning, after experiencing continuous dizzy spells and waves of nausea since yesterday evening. I repeatedly told him I’d more than likely eaten something funny, but he wouldn’t settle with that reason. So after a huff and a puff, I stripped off my stubborn boots and finally agreed to see the nurse. Frankly, I think he needed the distraction anyway. So as Nate paced around the nurse’s office anxiously awaiting my blood results, I laid awkwardly on the hospital bed twiddling my fingers, trying not to bring the new hit of nausea I was suffering from to his attention. As the brunette nurse, I now knew was named Mary, reentered her office Nate threw his hands in the air with an exasperated sigh. “Finally!” He muttered, as he took his place back by my side. I rolled my eyes at his dramatics, choosing to ignore his impatience, even though we’d only be waiting approximately 6 minutes. I’d learnt to pick my battles with Nate, some comments j

  • The King Alpha’s Mate   Sixty Seven

    It had been a draining couple of days since we finally revealed the truth. Questions had been coming at me from every possible direction from those trying to understand what being a hybrid truly meant, which typically resulted in me using some form of magic to demonstrate my capabilities. But the excitement was wearing down, as a new daunting reality started to set in. One that would leave an everlasting effect on my beloved mate. William’s execution day. After going back and forth over whether Nate had made the correct decision, he ultimately decided that he had. In his eyes, he knew it wasn’t right for his brother to escape the consequences another werewolf who had committed the same crimes would receive. So today was the day. Nate would finally say goodbye to his brother once and for all. But that wasn’t the only big event happening today. This morning I would be escorting my mother back to Midsummer, where she will temporarily take control of the throne until I have settled i

  • The King Alpha’s Mate   Sixty Six

    Serena’s POVNate tangled the ends of my hair around the tips of his fingers, as he gazed out our chamber’s window absentmindedly. The responsibility of choosing an appropriate punishment for his own brother, well it was never something he had expected to do.This time yesterday he had been expecting a warm family reunion once he had saved William from what he believed was a threat. Who could have guessed William was the real threat.He had the weight of the world on his shoulders. Other than support him in his decision, there wasn’t much I could do. Nate had to figure this one out on his own. Whatever decision he made, I’d stand by him.With a heavy sigh, he turned his head against the pillow and met my gaze. His eyes were sunken, dulled by the burden he bared. “I know what I’m going to do.” His lips formed a tight line.I gently placed my palm on his cheek, offering physical support. “Whatever it is, I’ll be right behind you.”His pupils dilated as a warm smile spread across his lip

  • The King Alpha’s Mate   Sixty Five

    Third Person’s POV Serena sobbed uncontrollably as she held her mate’s lifeless body, refusing to accept the fate she’d been handed. She pulled him in closer, stroking the side of his cheek as the tears from her weeps fell onto him one by one. She locked eyes with her mates so called brother. Anger seethed through her, bubbling in her veins every millisecond longer she watched Nate’s killer. “How could you do this?” She spat, venom laced in her voice. William sighed as his eyes darted to the ceiling. “Do you have any idea what it was like? Living in his shadow? Always Nate this, Nate that. He was so bloody perfect, I couldn’t possibly compare.” He gritted through his teeth as he relived the memories. William had always been jealous of the attention Nate had received. He had tried his very best to be the perfect prince for his father, putting in extra hours of combat training and studying until early hours of the morning, learning the perfect etiquette and the responsibilities bei
