After we arrived at the pack, Zeus and I were not talking at all. I can't look at him in the eyes. The Queen greeted us with Candice at her side. She told us that dinner was ready and we should join them. Glancing at Zeus, he just nodded at the Queen and I did the same thing.
I go straight to my room and change my clothes to jeans and a shirt. Nothing is special about making some effort to dress.
I arrived in the dining room and found Candice, sitting next to Zeus. That's why I sit next to Tyler. A low growl came from Zeus, but I didn't bother myself with looking at him. He allowed that girl to sit in my chair, then I would sit wherever I wanted.
I look at Tyler who's smirking at me. He enjoys watching me and Kayden fight. That is why I like using him to annoy my mate.
I have learned now how to block his ability to read minds because my wolf and his wolf acknowledge each other as mates. That is the perk of being mated to the king. You can block his ability whenever you want. I don't hide my thoughts all the time.
"Hey Kath, how's your swim in the river?" Tyler.
"Great, I love the clearings and the river. Next time let's go camping there and have a barbecue party with the others," I said.
"That's a great idea, Katharina since you need to introduce yourself to others. It's a nice way to get close to others and know them personally," The Queen said, but slightly looked into Candice's way. I feel like she knows exactly what that girl is up to and she doesn't like her at all.
"That will be great, your Majesty. We used to do that in my father's pack." I said.
"Speaking about your family, your father requested to be reunited with you in his pack. Your birthday is coming and he doesn't want to miss it." The Queen said.
"Really? I'm going to see them?" I couldn't hide the excitement building in my heart. Ever since my father acted that way towards me, we never celebrated my birthday in the pack. I was told to stay inside and he just gave me gifts and a cake.
"You're not a prisoner here. In the next full moon, you will be mated with Zeus and you will be the new Queen, so from now on, call me Mother or Ele." She said, smiling at me.
"Ele for now," I said, smiling at her. "Can I go with Tyler?" I said. Maybe he can find his mate there.
"Sure you ca----"
"I'm coming with you." Zeus cut her words.
"That's nice of you Son, but Tyler will still accompany both of you," She said.
"I want to come too, can I Zee?" Candice.
So, the Bitch got an endearing nickname for my mate.
Zeus looked at me and he asked for permission. I raised my eyebrows at him. What the hell? Why would I like to take that little rat on my birthday?
"I think it's okay for Kath to break up with her." The Queen broke the silence.
"It's my honor, Ele," I said, smiling at the Queen. Saving Zeus from the silent battle we have because of that girl.
"Thanks, Kath," Candice said while holding my mate's hand.
"Ele can I go now, I lost my appetite. I will rest now." I said.
"Are you sick?" The Queen
Yes, I'm sick of staring at that rat next to Zeus. I said to myself.
Queen Ele and Zeus laugh, which makes everyone look at them. I forgot that they could hear my thoughts.
"I think so. I need to go." But before I leave, I grab the grapes and apples from the table.
Tyler chuckles at my action but I silence him, putting a few pieces of grapes in his mouth. He almost choked. That makes me laugh hard.
"Bitch." Tyler said.
I stick my tongue out at him and leave them without looking into Zeus.
I went straight to my room and checked my phone. We don't usually use it since we can communicate through the pack link, but now I am no longer in any pack but in the Kingdom.
I dialed my brother's phone number.
'Kath, thank God you called. I want to tell you something.' He said.
'What is it? You seem very excited.' I said.
'I found my mate; her name is Charm. I want you to meet her.' Sam.
'That's great brother, I'll be there on my birthday.'
'That's good. I will tell Dad.' He said.
'Okay Sam, tell Dad I love him and I will see him soon.' I said.
'I will take care of little Kath. Love you
'I love you too' I said before the door opened.
The fresh forest mint invaded the room. I ended the call and looked at Zeus.
"Who are you talking to? And why are you saying I love you to that person?" Zeus.
"I didn't know that you had spying ears," I said.
"Answer the goddamn question!" he shouted.
"Don't shout at me. I'm talking to my brother!" I said.
He looks calm, knowing that it's my brother.
"What are you doing here, Zeus? Are you not busy with your ex downstairs?"
"Stop that, Kath, she's nothing to me, just a friend and part of this kingdom." He said.
"Oh? So, childhood friends become ex-lovers. Interesting," I said. Getting into the bathroom.
"Where are you going?" Zeus.
"Can't you see? Bathroom." I said, closing the door behind me.
This relationship is really getting complicated. I can sense Zeus outside the door. What will happen if he enters this room? I take off my clothes and open the shower. The hot water calms my nerves. I looked at the door when it suddenly opened.
I looked into his silver eyes. He walks inside the bathroom naked. I watch his every move until he reaches the shower beside me.
"Zeus, what are you doing?" I said, looking into his body, which started to become wet by the water. The room seemed to become hotter because of his presentation showing all his naked glory.
"What do you think?" Then he smirks.
"Don't show that smirk to me, Zeus. I can't do this with you." I said, trying to get out of the shower, but he held my waist. The tingling sensation starts to flow inside my body.
"I told you I would continue what we left in the river." He said.
He started to touch my back up to my neck and face. He kisses me slowly, savoring every second we have together. Then his lips left mine and started to kiss my jawline down to my neck. A moan started to escape from my mouth.
"Zeus," I said.
He nips my collarbone where he will put his mark soon.
"It's very hard to resist not taking you now, but I will wait until I mark you. Now, let's just enjoy this moment, he said. Pulling me up into his waist. I put my legs on his waist and pulled him closer to me. I can feel his little monster poking my belly. The smell of my arousal fills the room. He turns off the shower and kisses me on my lips. His hands travel into my breast and then he leaves my lips and starts to play my nipples.
A moan continues to escape from my mouth until we hear Tyler in our minds.
'Rouges in the west borders,' he said. Bringing us to reality.
But Zeus kept caressing me and started to touch my sensitive part.
"Zeus, we need to stop," I said, catching my breath.
"Tyler can take care of it." He said, biting my lips once again.
'Zeus, they killed all the guards. We are outnumbered.' Tyler said.
"That's it! Let's go." I pushed him off me and ran into the room. I started putting on clothes when I saw him behind me already fully dressed.
"What are you doing, Katharina?"
"We need to hurry, Zeus. Let's go." I said when I finally finished putting on clothes.
"You can't go. I will not let you," he said.
"Don't try to stop me now, Zeus, because I will not let you," I said, passing behind him.
He followed me and we ran fast into the woods. A smell of metallic pours into my nose. I see Tyler fighting three wolves at a time. In just one swift, I turned into my white wolf and joined him, hitting the one who was on his back.
'Kath, what are you doing here?' Tyler said, using the mind link.
'Shut up and fight. How many are they?' I asked.
'Twenty, but now maybe they are ten.' He said.
'I looked at Zeus and saw his big black wolf tearing the throats of his enemy. Four rouges are on his side. He easily kills them, but at the back of him, I saw a glint of something. Someone is in the woods holding a gun. Before I could think, I ran as fast as I could and covered Zeus's body from the shot. A loud gunshot erupted in the quiet forest.
A sting started to fill my body. Silver! I said before the blackout. Tyler and Zeus ran into my side in their human form.
"Find the one who did this... NOW!" His power radiated into the field, but I decided to take the darkness.
