Her Prisoner | (Royal Series #2)

C H A P T E R | 2

I've been going to these gala things since I was a baby, but this one was unsettling for some reason. I had a sexy dark maroon dress on with a faceful of makeup, but I didn't put foundation on, just eyes, contour, highlight, eyebrows, and lips. I looked hot but felt stupid.

"Honey, are you ready?" My mom knocked as I finished curling my hair.

"Yep, I'll be out in a minute," I shouted back, then grabbed my heels and ran out of my bathroom to the door. Taking a deep breath, I looked in the mirror once more before heading out.

When I walked down the stairs, I saw all my brothers lined up beside my father, who was helping my youngest brother with his tie. My father walked up to me and hugged me tightly, "You look amazing, Princesa," he said, rubbing my back.

"Thank you," I smiled, sticking my tongue out to Chris.

"You really do look beautiful, Rora," Grayson peeped in, causing me to smile wider.

"You don't look bad yourself," I replied, trying to pull away from the hug but my dad held on tightly. "Dad, you can let go now," I laughed.

"Mi Princesa, un día no te veré más de dos veces al mes. Quiero que esto dure todo lo que pueda porque te amo." -My Princess, one day I will not see you more than twice a month. I want this to last as long as it can because I love you-

"Papá, lo sé. Yo también te amo, pero necesito enfocarme en mi futuro y mi compañero pro ahora." -Dad, I know. I love you too, but I need to focus on my future and mate for now.-

"Sì entiendo."- yes, I understand-

He rubbed my back and kissed the side of my head before stepping back and holding my face. "I love you,"

"I love you too, dad," I laughed as he wiped the corner of his eyes, then pulled me into another hug.

"No estoy listo para que mi bebé princesa se vaya." -I'm just not ready for my baby princess to leave,-

"papá. Tampoco yo," - dad. Neither am I.-

He pulled away but stepped back before he hugged me again. I grinned as he wiped his eyes, then obviously looked away from me. "Hey, dad isn't she just beautiful. I can't wait for her to meet her mate," Grayson sneered, elbowing my dad's arm.

"Shut up before I ground you." My dad grumbled and stood straight again.

Once we got to the ballroom, my mom greeted the Alphas and guided them all in while my brothers fooled around. I didn't feel special or weird at all, it was normal. I even shook hands with each and every male I could lay my eyes on and none of them aroused me in the slightest. I mean, they're all hot, but nothing sparked up. My father stood beside though, making sure he was there if I found my mate.

I was handed a rose earlier on by one of my brothers in an attempt to cheer me up, so I picked the pedals until there was just the core and stem.

'Find your brothers now!' My father shouted through mind-link, what the Hell? The door burst open as I was sitting on the bed, of my room at the Packhouse, so I screamed and whipped around. SH*T!

Intruder.

Intruder.

I crawled back as the rogue stared at me, then went to jump me, but thankfully my brother Grayson, was there to take him down first. Oh, my God- What's going on.

I shivered as something cracked and my brother stepped back, placing his hands behind his head, "I-I just... I killed him!" He mumbled, looking at the body...
