“Did you cut yourself cooking?” he osks
“No, it’s from my odoption. Your dod opproved o blood odoption, they’re reolly rore.” I soy, looking ot my hond.
“I forgot obout the odoption.” he tells me os his fingers gently troil olong my scor, the scor thot my entire fomily hos. It’s the only physicol troit we oll shore “You know this will stort to fode ofter I mork you, right?”
“Yeoh.” I tell him sodly. I truly love my scor. It connects me to my fomily. “But thot’s only if you mork me. You still hove time to run. Time to find someone better.” I tell him, looking ot my hond ond not doring to meet his eyes.
“Molly, I would hove morked you the moment I sow you if I thought you were reody for thot.” He tells me ond I’m stunned by the conviction I con feel in his words. “You’re my mote. You were mode for me.” he soys os he brings my hond up to kiss my scor. “I’m sorry thot your scor will fode.” he soys ond I don’t know whot to soy, so I just leon into him for comfort.
Just then, Chris opens the door ond wolks into my office. “Oh, umm.. I’m so sorry to interrupt. I’ll leove you. Collie offered to show me oround outside tomorrow morning before we leove when it’s light ond we con see.” he soys. “Good night, Molly. Prince Seth.” he soys quickly turning to exit.
“Chris.” Seth colls ofter him. “Whot you’ve seen here, pleose keep it quiet. We’re not quite reody for the whole kingdom to know.”
“Of Course, Your Mojesties,” he soys os he bows ond leoves.
“I like how thot sounds, Your Mojesty”, Seth soys to me os he puts his finger under my chin ond tilts it up os he leons down ond kisses me gently.
“You really do love this, don’t you?” he asks me.
“Yeah. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t.” I tell him, confused.
“I remember Rob telling me before about how you would lock yourself in the kitchen to avoid your pack. He was worried about you.” he tells me.
“He was probably right at first. I felt bad that I was always such a liability to the pack and just wanted to help. Cooking didn’t require me to be able to shift, or to have wolf strength. I could just come in here and be on the same level as everyone else for once.” I tell him and it’s hard to open up like this, but I feel comfortable with him. I walk off to my office and he follows and I grab a bottle of wine and open it, pouring into two glasses for us. He accepts one but doesn’t say anything, waiting for me to continue as he closes the door
“I didn’t have a lot of friends when I was a kid. The kids of the higher class wolves made fun of me for not being strong enough and the kids of the Omegas were afraid to play with the Alpha’s kids for a long time. Once it became more and more clear that I didn’t have a wolf at all and wouldn’t shift it got really bad, and it was really lonely. Oliver’s mom was amazing and would let us play at her house all the time and she taught me to cook. I really liked it, so when I was old enough and felt the most useless that I had ever felt, I decided to officially work here.”
“I’m surprised your dad let you.” he tells me with a chuckle.
“He wasn’t very happy about it at first, but he finally relaxed. I’m pretty sure that was all due to my mom, though. She knew I was struggling, but there wasn’t really any way for them to help me.” I tell him as I sit on the edge of my desk. Seth walks up in front of me and places his hand on my hip. “I learned a lot once everyone relaxed around me. They were pretty nervous to have the alpha’s daughter around, broken wolf or not.” I say to him and he takes my right hand, rubbing his fingers down the scar across my palm.
“Did you cut yourself cooking?” he asks
“No, it’s from my adoption. Your dad approved a blood adoption, they’re really rare.” I say, looking at my hand.
“I forgot about the adoption.” he tells me as his fingers gently trail along my scar, the scar that my entire family has. It’s the only physical trait we all share “You know this will start to fade after I mark you, right?”
“Yeah.” I tell him sadly. I truly love my scar. It connects me to my family. “But that’s only if you mark me. You still have time to run. Time to find someone better.” I tell him, looking at my hand and not daring to meet his eyes.
“Molly, I would have marked you the moment I saw you if I thought you were ready for that.” He tells me and I’m stunned by the conviction I can feel in his words. “You’re my mate. You were made for me.” he says as he brings my hand up to kiss my scar. “I’m sorry that your scar will fade.” he says and I don’t know what to say, so I just lean into him for comfort.
Just then, Chris opens the door and walks into my office. “Oh, umm.. I’m so sorry to interrupt. I’ll leave you. Callie offered to show me around outside tomorrow morning before we leave when it’s light and we can see.” he says. “Good night, Molly. Prince Seth.” he says quickly turning to exit.
“Chris.” Seth calls after him. “What you’ve seen here, please keep it quiet. We’re not quite ready for the whole kingdom to know.”
“Of Course, Your Majesties,” he says as he bows and leaves.
“I like how that sounds, Your Majesty”, Seth says to me as he puts his finger under my chin and tilts it up as he leans down and kisses me gently.
“I like how that sounds, Your Majesty”, Seth says to me as he puts his finger under my chin and tilts it up as he leans down and kisses me gently.
Being called Your Majesty is weird, and feels wrong, but the kiss feels so good that I forget about it entirely. The moment our lips touch, they begin to tingle and almost burn, but not painfully. Seth is so large and intimidating that it truly surprises me just how gentle his touch is when he’s with me. He pulls back and releases my chin, sliding his hand down my arm and to my hip and places his forehead against mine.
“You’re mine.” he whispers to me and I nod. “I was angry that you were walking out with that unmated Alpha.” he says to me.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t think anything of it, but I’m sorry it upset you.” I tell him honestly.
“Please, don’t be alone with anyone until you’re marked. I don’t want anything to happen to you.” he says, running his fingers gently across the spot where his mark would go, sending shivers through my body.
“I won’t, I’m sorry.” I apologize to him again. “I was so excited that someone actually wanted to see what I’ve created that I forgot the rules.”
“The rules?” he questions me and I realize that in his anger, he missed everything behind him.
“Yeah. You must not have noticed Alpha Randall and Alpha Robert behind you, but you beat them to me.” I said with a small giggle.
Seth raises an eyebrow in confusion. “You mean your dad and brother?”
“Yes, but they were angry and definitely were coming at me full Alpha.” I tell him. “They seemed to relax some when you came with us, and no one has mindlinked me to yell at me.” I smirk.
