I told you guys! There was an elephant in the room. I knew I should've taken a peek from the start. Imagine just imagine the difference between us meeting in the start and us meeting like we did. But I guess some things are beyond your control.

The moment I looked into his eyes, my question about his eyes was answered. Damn straight, his eyes have a magnetic pull to them. You really to get lost in them, but I believe that's because we're mates. What the hell were the other people playing at?

Seriously, Cassandra? It's the most climatic scene ever and you're stuck on his eyes? God woman, get a grip.

"What- what's your name?" My mate asked and I wanted to coo at him so bad. This is just straight up comical. I mean The Big Bad Alpha King is stuttering talking to his mate.

"It's Cassandra, mate." I tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear, looking away from him. Then I drop my hand down. I did not think of myself as the shy one, really. What is wrong with me?

Well accept for Lia going crazy in my mind. She was beyond ecstatic.

"Your full name, love. I'm Alexander, by the way." He gave me his full smile, dimples popping up and I gulp. He has dimples! Oh okay, do not go crazy Cassandra. Relax, deep breaths.

"Cassandra Primrose Blaze. And, yeah I kinda knew that. I mean who doesn't know The Kings name." I say fidgeting. He makes me nervous. I hate being nervous. He wanted to reply but was cut off, his eyes held a glazed look.

Mind-link.

I took the opportunity to give him a once over. Okay, let's see if fate has him prepped up for me. Tall height? check. Killer jaw? check. Grey eyes? Oh god, check. Long eyelashes? check. Muscles? check. Strong arms? check. Prominent veins? check.

Yep, he's perfect.

I look back at him to see his eyes full of amusement. My cheeks color and I turn red. He noticed me staring at him. Smiling at me he said,

"Your name is beautiful just like you are. Rose, just as much I would like to stay with you, I'm sorry I have to attend to some matters and after that, we need to talk. I know I didn't make good first impressions so let me make it up to you, please."I nodded my head. He bent down, placed a kiss on my forehead and left me in his room. I relaxed, turning my attention to the room. I noticed Damon was standing there, looking fully tortured. I feel sorry for the guy.

"Okay first of all, that was just plain awkward for me. I mean fine, you both get all lovey dovey and what does Damon do? Look at the freaking wall and think 'oh this wall is nice'. Please, please I beg you, never do that to me again. I'm horrified." He shivered as if even rembering the events was torturing him. I laughed, shaking my head at him.

"Secondly, are you okay? How are you feeling?" He turned worried again. God this man.

"I'm fine. Actually I'm good this time. I guess the healing potion did wonders for me." Shrugging I look at him again. I knew what was coming next.

"Okay, very good. So now for the main part. How on earth can you forgive him? He TORTURED you for God's sake Cassie. How can you accept him? I can't let you do that to yourself. You fainted because of him you suffered so much and you will just forgive him?" Damon asks baffled. I sigh.

"Yes, Damon I will forgive him. Yes, I will accept him. And yes, he did torture me. I suffered but I am tired, Damon. Tired of not having anyone I could count on except you. He is the King Damon a freaking werewolf King if he would have let me go without punishment than people will think he is not a fair leader. Mate or not I went against the rules and I paid. If he would have let me go without punishment then honestly I would have thought of him as a bias King. For the first time in years, I felt complete Damon. I felt alive again. He made me feel emotions that I never thought I could feel. Attraction, Passion, Loyalty, Possessiveness all those simply touching me. Call it mate bond or anything but I believe he is a miracle. My savior, who would save me from my nightmares. So what do you want me to do? Let go of him?"

"I understand, Cassie. But-fine it's your decision. Just take care of yourself. I am so proud you, and you were, are and forever will be my family, my best friend and my little sister no matter what happens. Also, King or not I'll beat him up if he hurts you one more time." Damon hugged me tightly and I laughed. Now, that's a fight I would love to see.

"Thank you, Damon. And it's a done deal," I hugged him back.

"Well since you will be staying, I have to take my leave. If you need me you know I'm only one call away." Pulling back he straightened himself up.

"You're leaving already? I mean right now? " furrowing my eyebrows I looked at him. I didn't want him to go just yet.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I have to go back to the pack. Duty calls." Kissing my forehead, we both walked out of the room.

"Oh okay. You have to find yourself a Commander also. I'll miss you. Tell Mom and Dad I love them."

"Ugh. So much work, anyways, I have to see King before leaving though." Damon said I decided to go with him. A guard came and escorted us to Alexander's office as we were near his office I heard growls and Alexander's angry voice.

Damon opened the door and Alexander was choking Ian aka Nasty. His eyes were bloodshot red meaning his wolf was taking control of him, I took a step forward but Damon held my hand stopping me. I looked at him and he shook his head . I got my hand out of his grip and slowly went towards Alexander. His back was faced to me. Ian was pressed against the wall choking . I laid my hand on his shoulder and his muscles relaxed a bit I moved forward and held his hand that was choking Ian and slowly brought it towards my face. Taking his hand off Ian was hard but he allowed me to do it. His features relaxed and he moved forward and hugged me tightly, taking in my scent and calming down. He then let me go and turned towards Ian and said,

"You have disrespected your Luna, Your Queen and by disrespecting her you have disrespected your King. I'll make sure you don't live to see another day." His voice was deadly. The kind that would make people shaking and cowering back. I held his hand and he tightened his grip.

"I am sorry My king if I disrespected you but you cannot punish me." Ian said bowing down.

"And why the fuck not?" Alexander's voice was low, it was calm before the storm. And that is what scared me. His aura is beyond dominating. He doesn't need to yell to deliver his message. His normal voice gives you shiver, and not the good ones, well except for me.

"Because I would like to duel with Commander of Shadow Pack during the Luna Games." He said still looking down. I felt Alexander shaking with anger and before he could lunge at Ian, I stepped in front of him and took his head in my hands. I looked in his eyes which were flickering between red and his grey ones. I smiled at him, he frowned confused by my actions. I turned towards Ian, raising my eyebrow and gave him my best death glare.

"I accept you challenge. You may take your leave." He stepped back clearly shocked, but left nevertheless.

"Cassandra, you let him go, love?" Alexander looked at me, shaking his head.

"No, I accepted his challenge."

"Why would you do that? You should've just let me kill him mercilessly." Shrugging he held my hands.

"Now, where is the fun in that?" I smirked then turned around, Damon was standing near the door with his one eyebrow raised. He moved towards me and returned my smirk.

"You gonna make him regret being born, princess?" He said and nodded at me.

"You bet."

"You know that you're gonna be dueling him during Luna games that would be scheduled for next week?" Alexander said from behind me.

"Yes I know I will duel him durin- Wait! What games?" I looked at him sheepishly.

Okay, I really need to stop acting on impulse.
