"I can't believe it. They actually liked me." I said excitedly as I relaxed in my seat. I put my legs up on the seat and leaned against the door. I did not think that they would approach this matter so happily. When they cheered for the fact that I was coming with them, I could not be happier. It went way better than I expected and I realised now that I was stressed out for nothing

"It is impossible to not like you." Alexander said

"Cheesy!" I scrunched my nose and Alexander laughed. This time was a full laugh not a chuckle. Instead, he truly seemed happy. I found myself smiling as I looked at him while he was completely oblivious to my stare.

"Wohoo." I waved my hands in front of his eyes, bringing him back to reality. "Focus on he road. I don't want to die this young." I joked

"Whatever you say my queen." He winked at me and I felt my face heat up. I never expected someone's word to have this much effect on me. "You can sleep if you want, it is a long journey."

I nodded before moving closer to him and pecking him on the cheeks. I got back in my seat and closed my eyes. I smiled as I felt Alexander hold my hand and started drawings circles at the back of it.

----------------------

I groaned as I felt someone shaking me. "Go away." I mumbled but the person did not seem to understand as he continued to disturb me by poking me on the cheeks. "What!" I exclaimed as I opened my eyes to be met with the smirking face of Alexander.

"Finally the sleeping beauty is up."

I huffed before rubbing my eyes. "Why did you wake me up?"

"We are taking a small break to eat before we continue. If you don't want to eat you can go back to sleep then." He said in a teasing voice knowing very well I could not resist food.

"Give me my food." I playfully glared at him.

"I know you are hungry but we have to wait for our turn Liz." He motioned outside. It was at that moment that I realised it was already night. We were all currently in the drive thru of a fast food outlet. There were cars both in front of us and behind us, all the cars of the demons. I let out a low whistle in realisation. After eating, we hit the road again.

After driving the entire night, it was finally day and we neared our destination. We passed by border check where they immediately let us in. There were several houses on each side of the road and many curious head could be seen peaking out of their windows. I saw a small playground where children were playing and even passed by the training grounds. The training grounds here was way bigger than the one at the werewolf kingdom.

As we drove towards the enormous castle, the houses started to decrease until none were in sight. There were only several trees on the side of the road. As the car came to a stop in front of the entrance of the castle, several guards stood in a line on one side, bowing their head. While I was still looking around my surrounding, someone open the door for me. I smiled as I placed my hands in Adrian's extended ones. Alexander rounded the car and came to stand next to me.

Taking my hand in his, he guided me past the guards, inside the castle. We walked through the unfamiliar hallways and I must say it was really beautiful. The hallways were painted in a beige color with small intricate designs on the walls. "This is so beautiful."

"Glad that you like it." We took another turn before coming to a stop in front of a door. "And this is my room. Where you will be staying." He said while opening the door. The room was not extra but it was still beautiful. It had a queen size bed on one side of the room and on the other side, a small seating area was found with a TV mounted on the wall. On the right side of the TV, was a sliding door probably for the walk in closet. The door for the bathroom was on the other side of the TV. Right opposite to where I stood, there was a double door, leading to a beautiful balcony. There was not many furniture in the room and the theme was mainly grey and white. "Your room is cool. Simple but beautiful." I said.

"Not as beautiful as you." He said as he hugged me from behind and nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck. I let out a breath as I leaned back. "I am feeling nervous again." I admitted. "The demons who were at the castle with you, liked me because I helped you but what about the ones who were not there? Will they like me?"

I heard him sigh as he rested his face on my shoulder. "No matter what happens I will be with you Liz."

"I know."

"You need to get ready because there is a party being held at night where I will be officially introducing you to everybody as my mate." He said and I tensed. He sensed it as he hugged me tighter. "It will be fine. I will be by your side if you need anything."

Oh god. This is going to be a long night.

-----------------------

I was currently sitting on the bed, all dressed up, waiting for Alexander to come. Diana had called some girls to do my make up and hair. They were honestly so sweet and kept talking to me so that I did not get uncomfortable. The dress that Alexander chose for me to wear was really pretty.

It was a beautiful blush, sleeveless dress with a sweetheart neckline. The bodice was adorned with small flower details, going down till the middle of the tulle skirt. For my make up, they had done soft make up with just some golden eye shadow, mascara and some nude lipsticks. As for my hair they did it in a half up half down style.

I played with the ring in my finger as I started getting impatient. Just when I was about to get up to go search for Alexander, the door opened revealing none other that my mate. He was wearing a dark blue two piece suit. The material hugged his perfect body, showing his well built muscles. His hair was neatly done and not a strand fell on his face.

He cleared his throat as he walked towards me with a smirk on his face. Great I just got caught ogling him again. "Liking what you see little wolf?" He placed both his hands on my side, trapping me.

"A lot." I said teasingly as I moved closer to him. I trailed my fingers on his hand all the way till his jaw. He smirked at me before pulling me into a sweet kiss.

"You look beautiful. I don't want to show you to everyone now." He said as he pulled back

"As much as that seems tempting, I will skip. I want to get this over with once and for all."

"You are right. I have something for you. Come" He pulled me up and led me to the walk in closet, in front of the floor length mirror. He pulled out a black velvet box from his pocket. Opening it, two beautiful teardrop earrings were lying on it.

"There are so beautiful." I said.

He moved my hair and removed my earrings before putting the ones he brought with him. "It belonged to my mom. She said that she wanted to give it to my mate but then I was cursed. She did not bring this matter up again. But now that I have you, I will fulfill her wish. I am sure she must be happy that I got you as a mate." He finished putting both earrings.

I spun around and hugged him. "Xander, that is so sweet. Thank you for giving me these earrings. I will cherish them forever."

"We got to go little wolf. Adrian linked me saying that everybody already arrived."

I nodded and we exited the room together. I felt the knots in my stomach tighten as we stood behind the closed doors. I hear everything become silent as the guards opened the door for us, bowing in the process. Alexander placed his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to him before we started walking in.

I felt the gaze of everybody on me, watching my every movement. At first, I just wanted to run away but then I remember that this is not related to me only but also to Alexander. If I gave up because of some stupid nervousness, that would be so stupid of me. The moon goddess believed in me to put me in this position and I will prove her right.

I held my head high as we walked on the carpet, towards the thrones at the end of the room. Out of nowhere, I felt something bump into me. Looking down, I saw a cute little boy looking at me with his cute eyes, wide. "Hey little one." I said as I crouched to his height which was difficult due to the dress. "What is your name?"

"Owen" He replied and I saw his cheeks turn red a bit. "You- you are so pretty." He said and I heard several gasps from around us.

"I am so sorry your highness. He passed in between the guards and just came here." A lady came who I was guessing was his mother.

I chuckled. "It is fine." I ruffled his hair a bit. "Thank you for the compliment. You look pretty handsome too though now that I said it, some people might be offended by it." I said as I glanced at Alexander. I heard a few chuckles from around us while Alexander let out a huff. Owen placed a small kiss on my cheeks, taking me by surprise. I smiled at him before getting to my feet. "You have a really cute boy." I said to the mother.

"Thank you so much your highness. You are really sweet too." She said and bowed before taking little Owen back. I waved lightly at him before Alexander and I continued walking.

"Looks like even little kids are falling for you." He whispered in my ear

"Well I can't do anything if I am that charming." I replied in a low whisper as well. "Besides if someone as handsome as little Owen falls for me, I consider myself very lucky."

He let out a scoff. "So you are lucky because a kid fell for you and not me? I am way more handsome that him."

"Yeah but he is cuter and since you don't like being called cute, I prefer little Owen more." I joked and he muttered something under his breath. We stood in front of the throne and faced everybody.

"I want to thank you all for coming here on such short notice but it is really important because of two things. First as you all know, we had decided to work with the werewolves to stop the attack by the vampires but that was called off due to some issues that occurred there. So, we are on our own but we are strong. Together we can make it and I hope that you will all train hard and be ready when it will be time."

He took a glance at me before talking again. "Secondly, I found my mate. Please meet Analise Royal." He looked at me warily but I gave him a nod to continue. "The youngest daughter of the King and Queen of werewolves." Murmurs could be heard all around in the crowd.

Once the murmurs died, I took it as an opporunity to start speaking. "It is my pleasure to meet you all. Now I know that many of you are probably having doubts on me because of who I am to the werewolf family but I hope you don't make conclusions before knowing me first. I know it must be difficult due to the past that the werewolves and demons have. Due to some issues I no longer have anything to do with the werewolf royal family as those who were present know and rest assured that I will never do anything that will bring harm to this kingdom. As we don't really know each other, for now, I only hope that you all place your trust in me and I promise to do everything to live up to your expectations." Right when I finished, some clapped their hands then several others followed along with the cheering of people which brought some sense of relief to me.

"Told you they will like you." Alexander said in my ears. "Okay everybody, we hope you enjoy the rest of the night and feel free to ask us any question that you have." He said out loud.

The party continued as we took our seat on the thrones while the others enjoyed themselves. I got engaged in a conversation with Diana when I saw Adrian come towards u with a beautiful girl by his side.

"Ana, meet my mate, Roselia. Roselia meet Ana, short for Analise."

"Hi." I greeted her with a polite smile.

"Hello your highness."

"Please drop the formalities." I laughed

"You know something Ana? I still wonder how such a great girl like her got mated with an idiot like him." Diana joked around and Adrian sent her a playful glare.

"I still wonder about that Diana." Roselia said making Adrian sulk.

"I think everybody does that" Alexander added making Adrian sulk even more. After talking with Roselia and Adrian for sometime, they left to enjoy the party and I saw Owen and his mother some towards me along with a man.

"Hello your highnesses." The man bowed as well as the other. "I want to apologise for Owen's behavior earlier."

"Oh please don't worry about it. He is a really sweet boy." I said as Owen took a few steps forward towards me. All of us looked at him in confusion as he stood right in front of me before he extended his hands towards me. "Owen" His mother scolded him once she understood he wanted me to pick him up.

"It's fine" I said as I picked the little guy up. "Is it okay with you if he stays with me for sometime?" I asked his parents.

They looked at me, shocked. "Of course." The father said.

"You will be a great mother one day your highness." His mother said and I blushed while looking at a smiling Alexander. They left us and went back to the party.

"So little guy, you think she is pretty?" Alexander asked Owen.

"Yes. very pretty." He said confidently.

"Too bad little one but she is mine." He ruffled his hair.

"Don't listen to him. He just likes to brag. You are way handsome than him and let's not get started on how cute you are." I said. We spent the rest of the time talking to Owen and other people came up to us. They were all really welcoming though some of them had their doubts which I was happy they voiced out. Overall, I really like meeting them.

Just like Alexander had said, they are not like described in the rumors and I could not be more happy to be here.
