Chapter 9- Wolves, Kisses and Vulnerability

 

Drake wrinkled his nose in disgust but then he wrapped an arm around my waist and kissed my head sighing.

“Wolves?” I asked

“They smell disgusting” he said to me shivering and making me giggle. I stopped when I saw the doors and the guards

“Announcing Prince Drake and Princess Amalia” the guard said and then opened the doors. I noticed the wolves first. They looked scary and some snapped at me but Drake glared at them. I then noticed some of them were in human form and checking me out. Drake held me tighter while the king cleared his throat.

“Please everyone sit” he commanded. Drake pulled me to a chair and sat me down in between the king and him. The man sitting across from me looked weird. He had scars all over his bare chest and a tattoo of a wolf. When he met my eyes he smirked

“So this is the new princess” he said but it sounded like a snarl. I narrowed my eyes

“She is pretty” the guy next to him noted. He looked around my age and his stare was making me uncomfortable

“What’s your name darling?” the man asked. I sat up defiantly

“Amalia” I replied with confidence

“Well Amalia my name is Harvey and this is my son Samson” he said. I nodded and then looked at Drake. He was glaring

“why are you here?” Drake demanded

“You have an attitude boy” Harvey snapped. Drake growled and I rested my hand on his and he sighed before taking it.

“She calms you. She is your mate?” Harvey asked

“Yes” I snapped

“So you would be lost if she were to.... die?” Harvey asked. Drake stood up and had his teeth barred. The king also stood with a furious expression. The vampires in the room with us all stood near me protecting me.

“You will not get near enough to her to find out” Drake snapped. I stood up next to drake and wrapped my arms around him.

“My love calm down” I whispered in his ear. He wrapped his arms around me and then gently let go. I did too and we sat back down

“We are here to talk not threaten” Samson said. Harvey nodded and then smirked

“She is still human and yet to be claimed. Why do you treat her like a princess?” he asked. I stiffened and so did Drake

“She is waiting to turn until after our wedding” he said defiantly.

“Harvey if you are only here to insult my son and his soulmate then you are to leave and never come back” the king snapped.

“I am here because there has been a misunderstanding” Harvey said and I watched as his eyes turned yellow

“And what would that be?”

“That girl there should have died in the forest or at her home” he said pointing to me. I frowned and then it dawned on me. He killed my family

“You murderer!” I yelled and Drake had to hold me to stop me from diving across the table and killing him with my bare hands

“Why should she have died?” Maria asked glaring

“Dear gypsy surely you know that once we wolves set our sights it is our duty to take that sight out” Harvey said

“It may be your duty but she is a member of the royal family therefore you have no right to claim her life” Maria hissed.

“That’s it I want you all out of my kingdom. The Princess is under our protection and will forever remain that way”

The wolves growled and then left. I sighed and looked at Drake. He looked livid. I sank to my knees thinking about what they had said. they killed my family. I looked up at Drake with tears in my eyes

“They killed my family” I said through tears. His face broke in pain and he knelt down beside me. He took me into his arms and hugged me tightly. I sobbed into his shoulder and he held me tightly. I noticed how everyone had left the room apart from me and Drake. I wiped my eyes and looked at him

“S-sorry” I whispered

“don't apologise” he said softly. I don't know what came over me but I kissed him. he was shocked and then I felt him kiss me back. I traced my tongue over his bottom lip and he granted me entry. His arms tightened around me and I was practically sitting in his lap. My left hand was on his cheek while he held the other. He had his spare hand wrapped around my waist. He groaned and it was mimicked by my groan. I trailed one hand down his chest loving the feel of his abs. I was well aware of his man-hood poking me but it just turned me on. I bit his bottom lip and he moaned even louder. Within a few seconds he was on his feet holding me in a hug when the door opened and Maria and the King stepped in.

“Is she ok?” The king asked. Maria nudged him and scowled

“Are you ok my dear?” she asked. I nodded and felt the blush creep onto my cheeks remembering the kiss.

“We are just going to go and help her settle down” Drake said excusing us. He rushed me back to the room and shut the door.

“What was that?” he asked

“I felt vulnerable” I whispered

“I won’t deny that I loved it but I want you to kiss me because you want to not because you feel vulnerable” he said burying his head in his hands and shaking it. I sighed and tried to feel guilty but I couldn’t.

“I would say sorry but I’m not” I told him honestly.

“Um last night dad and I were talking and he wants to know if there is a future for us....” he seemed hesitant to tell me

“Is there?”

“I think there is. Do you?” he asked sitting next to me on the bed

“I think there is. You are my other half and I know that” I said smiling slightly and grabbing his hand. he sighed and took hold of my hand.

“I’m glad” he said not looking at me. I sighed and got up walking to the balcony. I looked out as the sun set and my eyes landed on the path just outside the kingdom walls. I felt Drake’s arms wrap around me and he rested his head on my shoulder. I leaned my head back

“I will never get tired of watching this” I said happily sighing. He gently kissed my neck and grinned loving the feeling.
