I'm so happy after I found my mate over a month ago I have spent more time in the forest than ever. My dad doesn't question it but my mother is starting to worry.

Hiding my mate from my family is not something I want to do but he has yet to shift in front of me. I do most of the talk but he does grunt and nod in response.

As I walk into the forest now to go meet him I think of the message we got back at the pack house. It seems that word slipped out that the Alpha's youngest is coming of age aka me.

So because I am human and mate less cording to the pack member who reported it. The Alpha King him self says he and the Queen will be here for my party.

Not only am I going crazy my mom is excited because his Gamma and most trusted guards are also coming. Just to warn you my mother has always been obsessed with the warriors of the castle.

Her being the daughter of a Gamma doesn't make this any better. You can also guess who she wants my mate to be.

As I come to the pond I see my mate on the other side. I smile and wave. This time I am wearing a swim suit under my sweater.

I strip and jump in quickly swimming to the other side. I get out and shake the water off my body.

"Hey." He looks up at me. I could swear he was smiling but I can't tell. I sit down next to him.

"So I have exciting news." I say as I lay next to him. I stroke his fur as he lays his head over my stomach. "My coming of age party will have some interesting guest."

I feel his head lift up. I sit up to face him and rest my hands on his shoulders.

"The King and Queen are coming." I say with excitement and my mate tensed.

"Is something wrong?"

His eyes shoot to mine and I can't read his emotions. Then for the first time since we met I hear bones cracking. My eyes widen for this is the first time he will shift in front of me.

He is finish before I could blink. His hair looks shaggy and long like he hasn't cut it in a while. His eyes a wonderful shade of gold and he looks older that me. At least in his early twenties. His scar is as deep on his human face as his wolf's.

"Is what you said true?" His voice extremely husky like he hasn't shifted in a while.

"Yes." I can here my desire in my own voice. My mate notices to for his eyes darken.

"Calm down, sweetie. I'm trying to wait till after your come of age."

"That's why you haven't shifted in front of me?" I questioned.

"That and another reason."

"What's that?"

"You will find out soon enough."

I hum. I reach my arms up and wrap them around him. Taking in his scent as much as I can with my human senses. I feel him wrap his arms around me.

"I'm glad I met you." I tell him.

I can feel his smile.

"I am too. I need you to do some thing for me."

"Anything."

He pulls me away so he can look at my face. "When the Royal family comes to your party I need you to get the Queen away to tell her something."

"What? Why?"

"Don't worry about that. Can you do it for me?"

I nod.

"Good girl."

A week later the party is on. In less than two hours the King and Queen will be here. In our pack house. I don't know if I can contain myself.

"Desire!"

"Yes mom."

She walks into my room after that. With my dress for tonight. It's black with pink rose accents running down the sides.

"Mom it so pretty." I gush as I take it from her. I'm already showered and started on my hair when she came in. "Has anyone started to arrive?"

"Just a few people the Alphas haven't showed up yet. Or the King."

"Mom I sure he will come late or something."

"You never know. Anyways. Let's get you ready."

After an hour of hair and make up along with a waxing, mom's idea, I am ready. I make my descent on the stairs as I see most of the guest have arrived.

My brother, Chance, takes my hand and guides me toward the center of the crowd. "May I present my little sister and the youngest of our family, Desire Almyra Thomas."

Around of applause goes around and I smile and wave at everyone. People coming up and wishing me a happy sixteenth.

As the party moves on there is a knock on the door. All the wolves pause because I'm sure in the other side of that door is the King and Queen.

Once the door opens we are greeted with the King who is leading the Queen in by hand. I have to stop myself from fainting. At once everyone kneels as do I.

"Rise." His one word wasn't a scream but it was heard though the room.

With that the party went on as normal. My parents greeted the Royal couple and guided me over. With another bow I am introduced to the King and Queen.

"Thank you for coming to my coming of age."

He chuckles. "Thank you for letting us."

"Enrique. It's not like she could have refused." The Queen says.

"That you are right mate." He then laughs at his mate.

The party then starts up again. After meeting the Gamma and the guards my mother is pouting in the corner see as that none of them is my mate. Little did she know.

I find myself on the back porch a little later. I feel a presents behind me. Turning around and surprised to find the Queen.

"Your majesty?"

"Please. Call me Kendall."

She sits down next to me and I turn back to watch the forest. "Yes ma'am."

"Your mother says that you spend a lot of time in the forest." She says after a while.

"Yes ma'am."

"Is your mate there?"

I tense. I'm sure she noticed.

"It's fine. He must be rouge, yes?"

I nod.

"I'm guessing you didn't tell your parents."

"No ma'am."

She hums.

I turn to her. "Um Ms. Kendall?"

She raises her brows turning towards me.

"My mate told me to tell you something."

"Oh? Me? Not the King?"

"No ma'am. He said to tell you, 'Blake is ready to beg for forgiveness.' That's it." After I say those words her face is shocked.

Then it softens. "Okay. Tell him to bring you to the castle. One week from today. Don't be late. I'm sure he remembers the rules."

I nod. Still not sure what this is about.

I guess I'm going to the castle.
