Stares And Whispers
God, Lexi! ho you ever mind your own busineT Daniel sighs while scrubbing a hand down his face. Lexi Elares at him in return before childishly pulling out her Langue at him. He rolls his eyes in nium, shaking his head at
her like a disappointed parent.
I would have laughed at their little banter, but I’m too
frozen in my seat for the moment.
I’ve done some research on Lycans due to the fact that
they rule over us, and I read some rules about them to know their mating process is a bit different to our.
For werewolves, after finding our mate, we usually wait
to introduce our parents to one another and wait for their
blessings. Then we meet with our Alpha to break the news
before deciding when we would like to start the process and
where. Some werewolves prefer to do it in front of the whole
pack, mark themselves that is, while others prefer the
woods or in the confines of their bedroom.
But werewolves with higher ranks are expected to mark
themselves in front of the whole pack. Just like Brad and
Stacy did.
It’s a rule in most packs. After that, they’re free to roll in
the haystack or whatever it is they call it nowadays.
The whole process sometimes takes weeks. The parents
might not give their blessings right away, and it’s not so easy
to book an appointment with the Alpha. And even after all
that, if you decide to have a public markine, a date will have
to be lived. And it‘s not always a closer date
Werewolves don’t mark themselves in their wolf forms,
though. Just the human sides are enough, and the wolves begin to build a connection with each other after the human sides have marked each other.
For Lycans, it’s rare for them to find their mate quickly
like us. Some spend centuries on earth before finding theirs.
and this is why when they do, they don’t waste time, marking them immediately. The mating process usually
starts immediately after they meet. Their beasts would
already begin to form a link with one another before the
human sides physically mark each other with a bite on the
After that, they’re free to also mark each other in their
beast form anytime they please. That’s about all know.
So I’m also surprised that Reagan didn’t mark me the
moment he saw me yesterday. If I’m really his mate #1: he
says, he would have placed his bite on my neck in front of everyone to stake his claim on me. They’re that possessive of
their mates. He did say it was because my wolf was still
Boing through heartbreak, so does that mean my wolf
doesn’t recognize him because she is still suffering from the
mate bond between Brad and me? And I’m still confused
about having a second mate, I’ve never heard of it before.

“Nine.” w my only seer, and he mods in response I’m not un sure what the time is. My phone’s in my pune in
his room, and I haven’t even touched it since last night. I almost forgot about it. I’m pretty sure I have tons of messages waiting for me there.
“My clans starts at that time lea. We could p tapther.” Lexi states with an excited smile. I’m not sure why she likes
so much when we just met I thought Lycans don’t like
creatures lesser than them.
“I’m driving her.” Comes Reagan’s gruff voice with his
face set in a frown
Oh come on, Your Highness.” Lexi’s voice is laced with
Hekim, and I’m surprised she can talk to Reagan in that
“You spent the whole night with her and will still spend
the rest of your lives together. It’s my turn now.”
Her words are like a blow of realization to me. I will be
spending the rest of my life with him if he truly is my mate. It all feels sürreal right now. Is this really happening to me?
“Why don’t you two let the person in question decide who she wants to ride with.” Daniel suddenly suegests, and I
don’t know if I should be grateful or nervous. Lexi and
Reagan both snap their heads te me, waiting for my answer.
Right now, as much as Reagan’s presence affects me,
he’s also sullecating me. And I’m in dire need of some fresh air. He’s been hovering around me since last night with that
possessive look in h
eye.
And I may not know Lexi, since we just met, but she
seems nice. And I know this choice will dampen Reagan’s mood, but if I really did have a choice, I would prefer to be alone right now. With my mum or dad or anyone, someone
I’m very familiar with, like Lana.

“I have to go get my purse,” i mutter before going back
upstairs and navigating through the hallway for Reagan’s room. I find the purse on the nightstand where I left it yesterday, and grab it. I search for my phone and do lind tons of messages from my mum and dad, but they didn’t call. I understand, they didn’t want to put me into trouble by blasting my phone with calls when I’m in the presence of the
Prince. The messages just are asking if I was alright and sale
and pleading with me to call them or send a text. I also
found some from Lana, asking almost the same things, but
telling me to text her the deats.
I send a quick text to my mum to reassure her before
putting my phone back in my purse. It’s already some
minutter, though.

When lcome to stand this frent, he pulls me closer and traces his fingers across my chin to my hair. Then he abruptly pulls it away from my neck, where I’m using it to hide his lovebite, and lets it fall down my back in its waves.
His eyes have a warning in there, and I didn’t need him to say
it before knowing the message he’s trying to pass across. He wants to show everyone else that I’m already taken, and I shouldn’t hide that
“Stay out of trouble.” His eyeine staring straight into
mine. He twirls a long strand of my hair to the end with one
of his fingers before letting go.
“Let’s go.” Lexi’s voice sounds from the sitting room, and I step past Reagan to her even though he doesn’t leave his spot. I walk with her towards the private elevator in the
sandals I saw with the dress.
The elevator doors slowly start to close after we step in, and I look up to see Reagan staring straight at me. His eyes are the last things I see before the doors finally closes shut.
“Man, talk about grumpy.” I hear Lexi say beside me, and I turn to see her smiling at me. I slightly laugh at her word but don’t reply.

I watch as he leaves the room, and instantly miss him
