" You don't know what a mate is?" Anatalia questioned back, seemingly surprised and wondered what kind of a rogue Lexa was.
Lexa scratched the back of her head awkwardly and bit her bottom lip,
" Yes, I don't know what it is."
" Humm...." The female servant hummed and paused, trying to gauge if what Lexa said was true. After realizing the young teen was indeed saying the truth, she proceeded to answer her question,
" A mate is like a soulmate or more of a soulmate, do you get it now? "
" Ohhhh, so that's it......" Lexa nodded her head and trailed off, recollecting the discussion she heard between Belle and her maid.
" Yes Lexa, and......"
Anatalia didn't get to complete her words, as Lexa cut her off immediately.
" I overheard Princess Belle and her maid talking about something related to that. Well, am happy for her then."
She stood up from the bed and stretched her legs.
Lexa's mind also wandered to her mate and pondered on if she really has one. She couldn't describe how she felt, but she wished to have a mate too.
" Yes, and that is reason why we did a feast," The female servant noticed Lexa's weird face and thought on what the latter might be thinking.
" I get it now." Lexa shifted her face to Anatalia and nodded slightly.
The female servant propped herself up and stood from the bed, going over to pack Lexa's used dish.
" I need to go now, I still have some other things to do."
The young teen pouted her lips as soon as she heard what Anatalia said and strolled to where the female servant stood.
" I wish you could stay with me more. Well, thanks for your company, I love it," She expressed herself and held Anatalia's right hand in hers.
The female servant grinned but said nothing. Then, she embraced Lexa slightly and disengaged the hug after some seconds.
" Let me walk you to the door," Lexa offered gently, which Anatalia agreed.
They both made their way towards the door, and Lexa turned the door knob, opening the door. And Anatalia walked out.
Lexa closed the door immediately and headed back to her bed.
Once she was on her bed, different thoughts ran inside her head, and it made her feel somehow lightheaded.
Lexa took a deep breath and got up from the bed again. She decided to go out for some fresh air, maybe from the backyard of the house.
Without hesitating, she went out of her room and ambled to the backyard. As soon as Lexa got there, she was welcomed by the cold breeze, and she shuddered subconsciously. Holding herself together and taking steady steps to sit on a little bench she caught sight of.
The young was wearing a very mini off shoulder gown, which was white in color, and it made her look so simple and delicate.
Lexa sat down on the bench in a ladylike manner and stared at the now dark sky. Her thought was only known to her, but she was enjoying her chilly alone time.
*************
Arnold was strolling around the Alpha's house, fascinated by some of the unique arts he was seeing. The feast was over, and he wouldn't deny he enjoyed it.
It was really a good thing to find one's mate and be close to him or her, he thought.
The Alpha Prince badly wanted to be with his mate right now, but the Princess had some stuffs to attend to and that was why he was alone at the moment.
He let his feet carry him around until he got to a slightly dark place, where the moonlight was really visible, and it was sort of chilly. But being a werewolf, the cold air was nothing to him.
Arnold wanted to turn back as he wasn't interested in staying at the backyard, but the moment he took a step, his eyes caught a silhouette of someone. He squinted his eyes to get a very clear view of the person, and his hazel eyes glowed a bit.
He saw a young girl whose hair was flowing around her back, due to the breeze, and her white dress made her appeared like a delicate angel.
Lexa didn't noticed someone was actually staring at her in dark, and it was mainly because her werewolf senses weren't that keen yet. And her abilities were limited, until the day she was going to have a wolf.
Arnold suddenly found his feet taking him to the delicate angel he saw. He didn't understand why he was immediately attracted to the girl. Maybe because of the gentle air around her or the way she looked.
His hair was now combed to the right side, but the breeze was blowing it gentle, including the casual attire he was wearing. He looked nothing less than a Greek god, and finally he got to where the unknown girl was.
" It's cold out here," He started his words, when he was close to her, and he could see how the girl was immediately startled.
Lexa, who was in another universe entirely, squeezed her face a bit and jiggled a bit, when her ears welcomed a deep bass voice. She turned back and was surprised to see a very attractive man, but her mind didn't linger on the man.
The young girl turned her face back and continued staring at the dark sky.
Arnold saw how Lexa ignored him, and it made an astonish feeling to surge in him. He was rendered shocked, as it was really rare for ladies to ignore him and acted unattracted due to his unmatched beauty. He was already used to the attention he gets but seeing how Lexa acted, it made him feel somehow, and he instantly became interested in her.
Lexa saw how the man stood still and wondered why he was here. She didn't need any company, and she loved her alone time. Though, she wouldn't deny the strange man was really striking, especially with how the breeze was blowing his attire and hair.
A real definition of a hunk, she thought, but it didn't arose anything in her as she wasn't in the mood to think about anybody.
The young teen saw how the strange man moved to the other side and took a seat beside her on the bench. She subtly eyed him and noticed his manner of walking and his composure was somehow elegant and refined.
Could he be the Prince, Anatalia told me about?
She inquired within herself for answers but didn't know what to do, if he was truly the Prince, everyone was gossiping about.
