Ethan's P.O.V:

I stare open mouthed at the little boy as he runs away giggling. I knew something was weird about him when I saw his violet eyes and also the fact he could knock me down and hold a knife to my throat. I chuckle at the thought, such power and cheekiness in such a small body.

I rub the area at my chest where I felt like it pained a little. I don't know why but as soon as the kid left I wished he was back and doing his weird things around me. I frowned when I felt the almost physical pain when he fell on the ground startled by something. I wanted to help him up and check or injuries or if he was seriously hurt. I don't know why I felt the need to rush him to the doctor when he fell.

I shake my head at the thought, must be a royal thing. Since his mother was queen it meant he was a prince and since my loyalty lies with the queen maybe I felt the need to protect her kin. Yeah, that must be it.

I walk through the dense forest and make my way through the grounds where a few wolves were training. Some shirtless men were also training with swords, knifes and even guns. They all stared as I walked through but made no move to stop me. From the corner of my eye I catch a little body running through the mud and doing a weird obstacle course. It takes me a moment to realize the little body was of the little prince, Danny. He jumped and dodged the whole course like a pro and when he crossed it took the bottle of water from the teacher and watched his other classmate do the same. He must have spotted me because he smiled a huge smile and waved at me. I smiled and waved back my heart feeling happy like it had never before. I shake my head once more and enter the castle through the door. As soon as I do I smell something so delicious and mouthwatering. It was chocolate mixed with a hint of strawberry. I instantly knew what it was.

I spent the last fifty years or more waiting to catch that smell and I finally did. I start walking towards the smell but realize the feet were too slow and took off with my wings. When I reached a set of double doors I land softly and pat my hair down to make it a little better from its usual messy self. I take a deep breath inhaling more of the scent and open the doors.

I instantly zero on the lone figure in the corner like she had a spotlight on her. She relentlessly punched a punching bag and occasionally kicked it. her fiery red hair was in a pony tail and she was wearing a tight sports bra and a pair of tight spandex shorts that reached her knees. Her clothing situation made me instantly rearrange my pants, if you get what I mean. Since she was wearing her head phone so loud even I could hear the music she played, she didn't hear me coming inside. All of a sudden she stopped punching and sniffed the air. Her head instantly snapped to where I was standing and I saw her blue eyes look at me in confusion then understanding, and then lastly fear. I didn't know why she was afraid of me. I could feel my half wolf side take over possessively. My wolf who never spoke before, but said one word to me

Mate

From here I saw her breath hitch a sure sign that by now she knew who or rather what I was. As I took a step towards her she moved back but before I could do anything she jumped out of the window breaking glass and onto the ground. When I ran to the window in panic I didn't see any body and thanked the moon goddess that she was safe and had only shifted into her wolf. But why would she feel the need to escape me? I would never tell anybody but the thought hurt my heart. So I decided to stay in the training room staring at the broken window like a love sick puppy. Even if I only met her and didn't know her name I was in love. I was in love with her beautiful red hair and her rosy lips that just were begging to be kissed by me. Although her blue eyes were beautiful they didn't fit her well. Hmm, perhaps contacts? I spend the rest of the day just thinking about her when I am bought out of my thoughts by the door banging open. I saw girl with brown hair and grey eyes looking around the room with a murderous glare. When she didn't find who she was looking for she looked at me and her murderous glare turned to confusion then embarrassment. Another man with red hair and violet eyes came running in.

"babe I told you not to run in your condition."

"oh shut up Max! I'm pregnant not broken. Where the hell is that woman. I searched all over the damn palace. Danny is asking for her. He misses her so much since she hardly spends time with him after the whole thing. she needs to take the time off work and spend time with her son. And what is this random fairy doing in the training room looking like a love sick puppy. Damn I need more pickles!"

I look at the girl like she is crazy or something. I cleared my throat and they looked at me. The guy Max looked sheepish and I nodded saying I understood where he was coming from. I know from experience that a pregnant woman is not to be messed with. My sister nearly pulled all my hair out when I told her she was getting big. Not my fault I didn't know she was pregnant and not just getting plane fat with the churros she ate all day.

"Mr. Fae. You must be the Fae ambassador. We are very sorry we couldn't greet you before or know you were here before. I am Max, beta of the royal moon pack. This is my mate the beta female. You can follow us and we can take you to the room we have prepared for you."

I nod but I want to do anything but leave. I wanted to stay here incase my mate came back and I could finally meet her properly. I follow behind the beta and his female who got a jar of pickles out of nowhere and was munching on them happily and had forgotten on her earlier threats about some woman I assume was the queen.

We were just walking down the hallway when I come across the prince again. He had a pair of head phones on and he was blasting music just like my mate did. He however saw me and his first gloomy expression turned bright and he had a huge smile on his face. I didn't even try to resist the smile coming up on my face. Even though I spent little time with the little guy I felt connected to him like no other. He comes running and jumps in my arms. He snuggles his face in my neck and I calm down the muscles I didn't know were tense.

"hey little guy! Miss me?"

"uh huh. You know when I told my class mates that I knew you I became popular and everyone loves me! Thank you!"

"you're welcome little guy."

I smile down at him but am interrupted when I hear an almost inhumane growl from the other side of the room. There stood a buff guy with black hair and equally pitch black eyes. He growled once more when he saw the boy in my arms. I put him down and put him behind me pulling out my sword in my hand. He just grins a sadistic grin. I turn to see beta Max and the beta female flinching and not looking at him. I then thought of one thing. He must be Danny's father. And judging by the way Danny ran and jumped in his arms he maybe was. Danny began to animatedly talk to the guy and he listened intently not once interrupting but the darkness in his eyes was replaced with softness and warmth. I don't know why but the thought gave a pang of pain in my chest. I rubbed the place above my heart like it physically hurt me. I shook my head to clear the thoughts and changed myself to my usual cheery self. Being a Fae it was hard to not stay cheery for long but since I was half wolf as well it balanced out and I didn't feel pain if I wasn't happy 24/7 like the other Fae. The man soon took Danny away not before the little kid gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek for good luck. Beta Max soon took me to a room and told me it was prepared for me and dinner would be served here but I had to get breakfast with everyone else in the morning.

When I asked for the queen he said she maybe there for breakfast or not, Since she had some important stuff to do. I just nodded but entered my room. I didn't have the time to see but I am sure the room must be beautiful. I just take a shower and remove my leather sheath from around my chest and wear a pair of boxers to bed. The bed was comfy but I still couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes all I saw was the terrified expression on my mates face before she ran away from me. To think I waited for 53 years for that response was heart breaking. I was still a youngling among fae standards and am very lucky I found my mate at this young age. My father found my mother when he was six hundred years old and my mother was just sixteen. My mother was a wolf and my father a fae, and not just any fae but the king of the fae kingdom. I am of royal blood so they sent me to the castle as an ambassador. My younger sister was busy with her own younglings and I had no other siblings except for a twin sister that went missing and was presumed dead when we were just a few weeks old. I never got to see her but I still love her more than anything. I groan and roll over in my bed one more time. I still couldn't sleep. I sighed and sat up my mind already made up. I was going to find my mate or I wouldn't sleep till I did. With that thought I take out a pair of jeans and a long sleeved V-neck from my duffel bag and change into them. I brush my messy golden curls and jump out the window flying out into the woods trying to find the scent of my mate.

Finally after a few minutes of wandering I track her mouthwatering scent and follow it till I see her sitting in a clearing with a water fall and a small pond. Her back was to me but I could see she had a white almost silvery dress on and her red hair was flying in the wind. The moonlight shone on her and made her look like a goddess. My breath caught in my throat. Such a beautiful creature was all mine. I walked a little closer making my presence known so she didn't get startled. What I saw shocked me........
