Leonor pov Leaving the changing room that night I felt so confused . Jewel was like a love sick puppy and not to mention Lillith and her crazy romantic notions , my head was currently a mess . All I wanted to do was have a hot bath and go to bed . Not being able to shut Jewel off for even a moment was getting too much . Entering the flat we shared Lillith offered to run me a bath with some of her magic oils to help heal and soothe my body , having a witch as a best friend has its perks . I stayed in the bath until the water had turned cold . I just couldn't get the idea that the goddess had gotten it so wrong , I mean a prince for me ! . I had been doing my best to shut my wolf out , she was driving me nuts . She kept showing me pictures of our mate . That night even though I was physically and mentally exhausted , sleep never came . At 6am I had enough of tossing and turning and decided to get up and go for a run . Letting Jewel take over and run always gave me time to think w
Alpha Prince Orion pov Standing with the two females while waiting on my mate getting changed was interesting , one was a wolf but the redhead from the fight was a witch . Both ladies were pleasant, you could tell they both cared for Leonor . “ So your highness , I hope you have good intentions for my best friend . She may come across as a hard nut to crack but she is a very special person and needs someone with patience “ The redhead says while basically sizing me up for her best friend . I nod and smile before i reply “ I promise you both i have only good intentions towards my mate , and i know how special she is plus after watching her fight am sure she could kick me into touch if i upset her “ i say with a small chuckle , trying to mask the discomfort i am feeling being interrogated . Being a prince and an Alpha it's not very often I am questioned about anything . The older she-wolf smiles warmly at me and says “ Son , you have no idea what that young lady upstairs is capable
Leonor pov After getting myself together and trying very hard to ignore my horny wolf I made it up the stairs to the flat . Opening the door I am almost knocked to the floor by Lilith as she jumps on me for details of my date with Orion . I can't help but laugh at her , you would honestly think she was the one dating the Prince . At that thought Jewel starts growling in my head ‘ calm down she is our friend , she is not interested in him ‘ i tell her while mentally rolling my eyes at her . “ Okay okay , let me in Lil “ she just dramatically threw her hands in the air . My best friend is such a drama queen , she has more male interest than anyone i know yet she is a complete romantic . The mate bond is her favourite thing even though she is a witch not a wolf . “ I need to leave for work soon , come on i have been dying to know how it went with the lush Prince Orion “ she highlights the lush just a tad too much for my liking , and without realising i growl or should i say Jewel do
Alpha Prince Orion pov Stretching, I almost fell off the small sofa. That was the best sleep I have had in a long time. Onix was so relaxed being near Leonor and Jewel . Hearing someone clear their throat I look up to and come eye to eye with the redhead , Lilith the witch . “ Coffee ?” she asks, holding up a mug . “Thanks , is Leonor awake “ I ask as I take the mug from her . “ She’s in the shower. She has to work in an hour, “ she replies . I must have been really tired , I didn't even hear Red come home I think while sipping my coffee . For the first time since I arrived last night I took in the small flat. It's neat and tidy , clean but the furniture is worn and old . I hear the shower turn off and I stand as Leonor comes to a stop in front of me in a towel wrapped around her and her while she is towel drying her hair . I can still see the faint sign of the bruising but she is still stunning . “ Morning , did you sleep well ?” she asks with a small smile on her face . “ Best
Leonor pov The castle and grounds were stunning , Orion would point out places and tell me stories about when they were young and the silly things they would get up to . He would introduce me to everyone on our tour . We were just heading back to meet the others for dinner when someone started to call Orion’s name from behind us . Orion’s body instantly became tense and he pinched the bridge of his nose , looking down at me he apologised “ I am sorry about this I'll explain once I manage to get rid of her “ . We spun around and came face to face with a tall pretty female , her clothes were so tight they almost looked painted on and a face full of makeup . Jewel had stood up and was now growling in my head at the sound of the nasally pitch of the female's voice and the flirtatious manner to which she was addressing him . “ Orion darling , who is this little one? “ she says as she looks down at me and touches his bicep . I can't help the growl that comes from Jewel, at her touchi
Alpha Prince Orion Dinner was pleasant , everyone seemed to like Leonor and she looked to be enjoying herself . I felt her unease when Fallon asked her about her wolf . It was kinda funny Leonor would happily tell us about her abusive childhood at the hands of her father but the mention of Jewel she would almost clamp up . My mate felt so protective about her wolf that she kept her a secret , so much so she would fight in her human form . Onix has already linked with Jewel; he was over the moon and the epitome of a love sick puppy . I won't lie, I'm slightly jealous. My beautiful mate is hard to read for me . I try so hard to be patient with her but it's getting hard , especially when I have her so close her heat and scent is like the biggest aphrodisiac to me . She unintentionally keeps leaning into me when she is asked something that makes her uncomfortable . I have no problem with this in fact she is making me feel relaxed , but the need and want to touch her is overwhelming
Leonor pov Entering his room my heart is beating so fast I know he can hear it . His room is twice the size of the one I am in but the decor is similar , the bed is huge with dark linen . “ Are you ok? “ he asks with a concerned look on his face . “ Yes , I mean I am a virgin and I know you probably had loads of female company but …” I mentally slap myself ‘way to go Len ‘ I think just as I feel his heat behind me . I am so nervous my palms are sweating . Orion slowly turns me around by my shoulders , I know I am trembling. I can feel it . “ Leonor , look at me please “ he says and to be honest i didn't even realise i had shut them . “ I grew up with amazing parents who loved each other so much . All I knew and learned was that nothing is compared to the mate bond , they are the missing part of your soul . I have waited for you for a long time . I won't lie to you. I have had females but never for any longer than a night . I am 22 years old and right now with you is the first
Alpha Prince Orion pov I wake as I am thrown into the wall of my room , I jump ready to attack to realise that my tiny mate was glowing . Leonor was clearly having a nightmare , she was thrashing and whimpering in her sleep . ‘ What the fuck ‘ i say in my head , and to say i was shocked by Onix ‘ Our mate’s powers have awoken . ‘ Awoken , what do you mean? ‘ I ask my wolf . ‘ when the chosen descendant of the goddess mates and marks her fated mate her powers will be awoken , come on Orion , why do you think my Jewel is so impressive ?’ . To say I am dumbfounded by this is an understatement . ‘ But how do you know so much about this ?’ I asked him . ‘ Our soul has been entwined forever , we have been mates for more than just this lifetime . Jewel and my memories return after you marked each other ‘ he says with a rather smug look on his stupid face . My attention is drawn back to my mate as another force of power slams into me . Shit i need to wake her up but I can't get close enou
