Leaving Arwen in bed and placing a note on her bedside table, finding it unbelievably hard to let go of her sleeping form, all he and Shadow wanted was to climb back in bed with her ensuring he kept her safe and close in his arms. He walked quickly while mind-linking with his siblings asking them all to meet him in his office. He didn't care if he had woken them up, his mind was in turmoil. He and Shadow itched to be with their mate, the bond was so strong that every step he took away from her room caused his chest to ache. Then there was the issue with the other eleven brides. Rubbing his aching chest, he realised he had been so much in his own thoughts he had already arrived in front of his office. Pushing the door to the office open he took long strides straight to his desk, waiting for the others to arrive. His office was just as his father had left it. The large room contained an extravagant desk and a spacious seating area with creamed coloured wallpaper adorning the walls, giv

Chapter 14 Zayn’s POV Zayn got up from his throne and headed to the door, without a word spoken to the three other males. As he approached the door he turned looking to the two pup’s as they hung their heads feeling defeated, even Pontus looked confused. “Come on, I don’t have all day” I told the other males as I turned my heels and continued to walk. I made my way to my office while mind-linking Pontus “would it be wrong to have a little fun before I tell them about my mate?” “You’re the King brother, where you lead I follow” Pontus replied with a chuckle. “Good answer brother” a smirk crept on my lips as I pulled open the doors of my office to find Grayson cleaning up. “Grayson we need some privacy, but please stay close by incase we need you.” “Yes, my King” Grayson replied before bowing and leaving the room. I stand behind my desk while pointing to the two seats facing my desk. I take my seat as the two young males take a seat in front of me. Pontus stays by the door, cl

Chapter 16 Zayn’s POV With the help of a few maids, I had half of my clothing sent to my room next to the brides’ chambers, and ordered for some female clothing in Arwen’s size to be sent to my underground chambers, in the hope that one day soon, Arwen would be sharing my room with me. Just the thought of her sharing my room, and my bed, brought a smile to my face. My sisters had not long finished training with the females and gave me a full update on all of them, but the only one I truly cared about was my mate. I was shocked to hear she had no form of training. Although I knew she had been sheltered from the outside world, I would have thought her parents would at least be smart enough to ensure their daughter could protect herself. We all have wolves that need to exercise and run, either in our human forms or our wolf form. It was yet another question I would have to ask Arwen or her brothers about. For now I would concern myself with why I am here. I spotted Aston and Preston

Chapter 18 Zayn’s P.O.V.I felt like a complete fool, I couldn’t bare to face Arwen or even my siblings. I hadn’t even been working. All I’d done since coming into my office was sit behind my desk, playing over and over again in my mind what had just happened. I let my pride get in the way of the love I have for my mate. I know I have a lot of faults but I never in a million years thought I would sabotage the relationship between myself and my mate. The goddess does not make mistakes. I had no idea how long I'd been sat behind when there was a knock at the door. Before I could even answer Miranda walked into the room straight past an annoyed looking Grayson.Grayson glanced at me “I’m sorry my king she just walked straight in”Miranda turned around and shot Grayson with an evil look “when I’m queen I’ll be sure to get rid of you”I growled at her but she simply ignored that it was aimed at her, continuing “You see Grayson even the king agrees with me”Turning towards me, her face sho

Chapter 20Zayn POV“I was angry, and threw myself into running the royal pack and overlooking those that did not belong to one of my siblings. Females from all packs came to the kingdom, to try and throw themselves at me all to become the next Queen. It angered me even more, and I’ll admit I used them as entertainment, as they wanted to use me, but then I met you. That first night I didn't fully understand the pull I had to you, you didn't know I was the king, yet you wanted me regardless. You even worried I would get hurt or in trouble for being your mate. Never once worried that meeting your mate meant you would not get to be the king's mate. I loved you for that and my cold heart started to beat again. I knew I was blessed the moment I looked into your eyes.” It felt strange and also like a huge wait had been lifted off my shoulder as I finally spoke out loud what was hidden in my heart. The others in the room blurred in my vision, as if it was only the two of us in the room.“As
