Writers POV:

The Beta of the Royal Pack Nicholas was patrolling and inspecting the forest with a party of three warriors when he smelled something odd. He sniffs the air, identifying the source of the odour, and then sprints in that direction. He quickly arrives at a small riverbank in Royal Pack territory, only to be greeted by a red-haired girl. For her, the term "beautiful" is an understatement. She was simply breathtaking. He and the other three warriors were in awe of her. 'Why did she, who seems to be a human girl, come straight into our Royal territory!' he wondered. He took his attention away from the lovely unconscious girl lying on the riverbank and began checking the area for something suspicious. He approached her and knelt down and saw bruises on her flat stomach, which were apparently due to her slightly elevated tee. In addition, he noticed a deep cut on her forehead. He immediately made contact with his Alpha via mind link,

"What Nick?"

"Alpha you are needed here. We found a body in our territory river. We don't know how it got here. It still seems to be breathing. It's a human girl."

"What! How did that human girl get into our territory! The witches and warlocks did put a safety barrier! Didn't they?"

"Yes Alpha, but it seems like it floated into our territory. You have to see her she is GORGEOUS!"

"Not interested Beta, do your job! Take her down in the dungeon."

"But Alpha.."

"What Beta!"

"It seems to be unconscious, there is a deep cut on her forehead and there are also bruises around her body. I think she needs medical attention."

Prince Aiden sighed running his hand through his thick hair and finally replied after thinking for a while.

"Take her to the infirmary and inform me when she wakes up for interrogation."

"Yes, Alpha."

The Beta took the girl in the infirmary while back in the castle Prince Aiden was getting restless, slightly! His beast was behaving weirdly lately. Since the day he saw that girl in that small cafe! She had beautiful hazel brown eyes, just one look and he felt himself drowning in the pool of honey of her eyes. And that smile! It was small but it was forced yet it was the most beautiful smile he ever saw, since then his wolf was restless, weird. He couldn't concentrate on anything, all though he is supposed to be introducing Victoria to the nation the day after tomorrow still he couldn't get his heart to accept Victoria nor did his beast. His beast feels disgusted whenever Victoria is with them. Victoria is not bad looking but this is not about the looks this is more than that. Only if his parents and the council understood! He lets out a deep breath making his way to his bathroom.

"Alpha?"

He was in his office trying to concentrate on his paper works when the pack doctor Riley Thomson tried to mind link him

"Yes, Riley! What is it?"

"It is about the human girl your Beta brought in this morning, Your Highness!"

"Yes, what about it?"

"She seems to be in her..heat."

"What?"

"Yes Your Highness, she is in her heat and she passed out because of the injury on her forehead."

"So you're trying to tell me the human girl might have a wolf or vampire mate?"

"Yes, Your Highness. And her second wave of heat would be soon I presume."

"Okay, I will be sending some guards."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Prince Aiden was purely confused about the new piece of information he just got. He soon minds linked his Gamma Liam telling him to send some mated warriors to guard the human girl. His beast was more restless than before now, he was almost pushing his way out because he refused to go see the human girl. But his beast thought otherwise and even threatened to go on a rampage if he didn't go right away. Prince Aiden gave up and made his way to the infirmary. As soon as he entered the infirmary corridor a beautiful mouthwatering scent hit him, it was vanilla and lavender with a hint of the smell of rain and honey. His beast was howling and jumping up and down, the scent was faint but it was more than enough to drive him crazy and ask for more. His feet took him towards the room that the girl was kept. He turned the nob pushing the door open and that heavenly scent hit him with full force. He could get knocked out by the scent he thought until his eyes land on the figure lying unconscious on the hospital bed. She had a sculpted figure which was twine-thin. Glossy ivory skin complexion, not too pale nor too dark just perfect. A pair of arched eyebrows looked down on her long eyelashes that were sweeping on her cheeks. Her delicate ears framed a button nose sitting over her puffy heart-shaped lips. It was a pleasure to see her flowing, molten red hair. In one word she was an angel placed on the surface of the world. He was smitten by her beauty and that's when the word left his mouth

"Mate!"

Dr Riley looked at her Alpha and smiled, who absolutely ignored her presence. She tried to say something but she was shut when her Alpha and soon to be king raised his hand signalled her to leave. Prince Aiden went close to his sleeping beauty and sat down on a chair by the bed. His beast came forward peaking through his eyes to see their mate

'Mate is beautiful!'

'Yes! Yes she is Denzel'

He closed his eyes and said

'Thank you Moon Goddess' He opened his eyes and could not believe the Goddess answered his prayers and sent him such an angel as his mate. He was pulled out of his thoughts when the hospital rooms door opened and his Beta walked in with a smug look on his face.

"What is the Alpha doing here!"

"None of your business." And Aiden turned his attention towards his sleeping beauty. Nick looked towards the girl.

"Man she is breathtaking, isn't she!" A loud threatening growl escaped from Aiden and Nick turned his attention towards his Alpha who looked furious and ready to shred him into pieces. Nick gulped looked at the girl then again at his Alpha who's eyes was glowing bright gold and glued towards him. An amusing smile crawled its way onto Nick's face

"She is your mate! Isn't she?"

"Yes." Aiden looked away towards his sleeping mate.

"Congratulations man!" Nick let out a small chuckle. And Aiden ignored him completely.

"Well, I'll tell the organizers to stop preparing for the introduction than?"

"Yes, cancel it. And while you leave ask them to shift her to my room."

"Yes, sir!" He mockingly gave a salute and left while Prince Aiden just rolled his eyes and turned his concentration to his sleeping beauty. He just can't wait for her to open her eyes so he could see her eyes and hear her voice.

Beta Nick was more than happy for his dear friend and Alpha, he knows how much he hated to accept Victoria and how much he prayed to find his mate. He could already see pure love and adoration in his eyes for that girl.

She felt her head heavy and heard a continuous beeping sound as she tried to wake up. The light was harsh which caused her eyes pain, after adjusting to the bright light, she finally opened her eyes to meet with a plain white ceiling. She couldn't recognize the place she was and soon her nostrils picked up the intoxicating smell that got her beast and demon purred in delight. Her beast was happy inside the cage of her mind, after three weeks she finally felt her beast. Looking around her gaze locked with the most beautiful pair of blue eyes she saw three weeks ago. His eyes lit up with relief and adoration as his eyes met her hazel brown ones. It was getting hard for her to breath as his mouthwatering scent was engulfing her and his beautiful face was lit up with a smile. No one said anything as they were just looking at each other taking in every inch of their appearance, while a thousand emotions, thought crossed their mind. Until she screamed out in agony as another wave of heat ran through her body. Her body temperature was rising rapidly and the pain was more than she could bear. Not understanding what to do panic started to set on Aiden. An emotion that never crossed his path. Thinking quickly he shouted

"Dr Riley!" And he got closer to his mate and held her hand instantly feeling tingling sparks run down his body. She felt slightly cool off from his touch and his voice as he was continuously saying sweet nothings to her telling her to hang in there. Soon the doctor was here and she felt slight fear striking her knowing she was nowhere to be able to defend herself at the moment. But her beast was far from being concerned as she was purring and loving being touched by their mate even and hearing his husky voice whispering sweet nothings.

"Alpha the pain is too much for her." Nothing went through her head as the pain was getting more and more unbearable every passing second

"Than what do you want me to do!" He shouted feeling helpless as his mate was going through so much pain and he couldn't do anything.

"It would stop if you mark and mate her but...this is not the time I understand so I think I should just put her back to sleep."

"Do whatever you must."

Soon doctor pushed some sort of liquid into his mate's body with a syringe. She faintly heard the conversation between her mate and the unknown female doctor. Her vision got blurry and soon she was engulfed with darkness yet again.

Dusk comes sooner than Aiden had expected, the last of the sun's rays cosseted behind the soft grey cloud. The street takes on the look of an old photograph, every familiar thing a shade of grey. Slowly the view fades to blackness and the night begins. After a whole day of struggle and all kind of feelings, the Prince and his beast seemed to be slightly relaxing as their mate is out of her heat and still sleeping on their bed. It had taken the Prince every ounce of self-control not to lose it and mark his mate while she was still unconscious by the effects of the thing Dr Riley used to make his mate fall asleep. But even after a hectic day, he couldn't be more delighted that he finally found his other half, his Queen. Looking out from his balcony he felt the night was a special kind of blackness, the kind that wants only to hold the stars and help them to shine all the brighter. It was a warm black that hugged you no matter what, and within its safety, he could feel his own soul all the more clearly, that innocent inborn spark.

Walking back into his room, seeing his beautiful mate sleeping peacefully on his bed was enough for him to smile unconditionally! She was looking invincible as her fierce long red hair was laid on his pillow. Her long eyelashes are touching her rosy cheeks slightly, her lips are slightly parted as she was breathing softly. He went close to her kneeling down by her side she softly planted a kiss on her forehead and made his way out of his room.

After a few hours spending in his office, his beast was getting restless staying away from his mate. And he felt that too, that mate pull! He finally got up from his chair and made his way to see his mate. There was a small smile playing on his lips that were...rare! Soon the smile vanished into the air as his nostrils picked up the scent of fire, and it didn't take long before he knew where it was coming from. Moving at an inhuman speed he was in front of his room, breaking in he found what he hoped and prayed not to!

His mate was gone and the room was on fire!
