Gifts From A Prince
i gulped down my sait as my father steps aside for
the powerful male to walk in. His pose depicts arrogance,
and his aura demands submission. I can feel my palms begin to sweat and my forehead too. My stomach churns, and I feel like throwing up the little sandwich I ate a while ago.
Reagan’s face has an expressionless mask on, making it hard for anyone to read him. But when his eyes move to
mine, I can see the twinkle in then, Like he has caught me
doing something naughty I’m not supposed to. I don’t know
if I should be scared or start to beg for forgiveness.
Adrian comes in behind His Highness, his face the same
stoic form. And I wonder how they got to know I’m here. Lexi
couldn’t have told him as she doesn’t even know either. Or
was this a mere coincidence? Had he planned to visit my
parents all along and we just happened to bump into each
other out of sheer misfortune?
Either way, I decide to stand firm and not show any sign of fear. I haven’t done anything wrong by visiting my parents. I’m not his prisoner, so he can’t question me for this act.
‘W…Welcome, Your Majesty:” My mum stutters beside
me while my dad closes the front door.
“Please, have a seat, you two.” She motions to the
couch we were cuddling on only a few seconds ago. I do not
say a word to acknowledge him but only move aside for him
tout. He doesn’i though, Lutins ad, miles michaguly
belare following my featsteps to where i stand,
Clad in a white shirt and black, parit, he looks even
are beautiful.
His boot stops right in front of my sandals, almast
touching and his eyes bore into mine. Not wanting to back
way like a scared little pup. I look right back up at him, not feeling the urge to submit like an average werewolf to a Lycan. His smile broadens, noticing my defiance, and his heedc” “s to study me. The air around us is thick, and I can
hear my parents’ shuffling on their feet due to nervousness.
My Eyes divert to my parents’ behind him, and I’mn met
with their stern disappointed looks. They don’t like my show
of disrespect and expect me to submit right away. I
reluctantly oblige and bare my neck in submission, gritting my teeth in the process as I look to the floor.
I feel his hand come up to brush my hair away from my
neck before he caresses his lovebite with his thumb. Azap of
electricity shoots from that spot through my whole body.
and i feel my toes curl into my sandals. I look up to see a knowing smirk on his face, probably sure of what he had
done to me. But I’m left to look back down and leave my
neck bare open.
I hate this. I hate that I’m weaker and not being able to
stand up for myself, just like how I was when Brad rejected
me sa brutally. Now, I’m at the mercy of this best to do
whatever he wants
He moves way after a final strake of my hair he’s
petting me for submitting to him like a bad dee. Then he
slides to my vide, wraps an arm around my waist to smash
me to his side as he faces my parents. I can ve my dad’s jaw clench at Reagan’s public show of ownership, but his hands
are left tied.
“I’m sorry we couldn’t have a proper introduction
yesterday. I was in a hurry to take my mate way.” He flashes
his pearly white teeth are my parents in a breathtaking grin.
My farm is stiff beside him with his possessive arm around
my waist as he takes a whill from my hair.
“But now that we’re all here. I’m sure we can talk for the
few minutes my mate and I have here.” My eyes ship to me
but his eyes don’t meet mine
Afew minutes.
In a few minutes, he is going to take me away from them
even though I don’t want to leave just yet.
“Y..your Majesty, I’m sure_.” My dad starts, but Reagan
cuts him off with a polite smile.
“Please, call me Reagan. We will be family as soon as I
mark your daughter.” Ashiver runs down my spine as his words remind me of my fate. Even my dad halts to digest his words. They sounded so foreign to him.
“Thank you. Your Malesty. But we think we’ll stick with
the formalities because of your title.” My dad speaks for both
him and my mum. If it venenath waewolf, they would have jumped at the offer of calling a royal by his name. But
net my parents. They were too humble for that
Reagan shrugs in response without saying anything Grily crushing me further into his chest.
“Please, have a seat.” My dad once more motions to the couch. He doesn‘t even try to smile, showing how unhappy he is about the whole situation.
“Asind, we won’t take lang. So we’ll just hurry and then get on our way, Mr. Archer.” Reagan informs with a smile
meant to lack polite on his face. I can sense it’s a facade,
though. There is a hint of anger under it and I know I’m the
cause of it. His arm tightening around my waist is like a
reminder that he would get back to me once he’s done with
mny parents.
“Okay, then. If that’s what you wish.” My dad lets out a
light caugh to reduce the tension in the air..
“As you know, I am a Prince.” Reagan points out,
“Second Prince might I add. Meaning your daughter will be a
Princess once marked by me. She will be treated with the
utmost care and adored Like the queen she is. I will provide
for all her needs as a good mate should, and she will never
lack or have any reason to shed a single tear because of me.
Ali jift to her parents, which you are, you can
evler
will see to it that it is done. Be it silver, gold, diamondi, or
even a whole pack under you.”
It’s not unusual for the male werewolf to make
promises to his mate’s parents. It’s a tradition all werewolve
and beasts alike follow. Some give houses, some pwy in
cash, and some even lands. li’s a way the male assures the
she-wolves parents that he can fully take care of her as he’s
capable.
“That’s mighty generous of you, Your Highness.” My mum comments with her mouth agape. Even my dad has a
look of astonishment on his face.
A whole pack beine gifted to him? That would make
him an Alpha and my mum a Luna!
“Nonsense. You’re the parents of a future princess. You
deserve the better.” He dismisses with a wave of his hand,
“Now, moving on, Hll be gifting you both a plane ticket
to spend the whole of next month in Hawaii. I heard it’s your
anniversary, and I would love for you to celebrate it joyously,
Accommodation and everything else you need will be taken Care of, and all you need is to relax. Also, you both don’t
have to work as medical assistants in the packhouse. A
hospital will be built for you both to own and manage,
employees will be provided and all the necessary equipment
you need. If you want it to be for werewolves and humans
alike that’s your decision to make. If you need anything else,
you Chin put amph and
to me through my friend
over there, Adr
. Hell be coming to collectie
in a
week.” He matians to Adrian, standing quietly in the corner
All this while, my parents are staring at himn wide
and mouth agape, and so am I. He’s talking all about it like it
wouldn’t cost him a thing when in reality, it’s too much. He’s
eiving them so much and still saying they could ask for more? My dad and mum work for the pack, both as nurses. And mov, Reagan is telling them they don’t have to take orders but give them when treating victims. I know he’s a Prince and all that, but isn’t this all a bit too much?
“T…thank you, your Majesty. My mate and I can’t express
our shock and gratitude at your generosity.” My dad finally speaks up after a while, with the shock look still registered
on their faces. Reagan answers with a smile while still
holding me tight against him.
“But, I’m sorry we would have to reluse all this.” My dad
announces after sharing a look with my mum, and she also
nods in agreement.
Are they nuts?! I know they’re humble and all that shit;
but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. And they’re
throwing it away for what?! I blink my eyes rapidly at them as
