My Love, Hated Luna

A Talk with the Prince

It was Monday and Carter and I started our training. I have been secretly practicing on my own for the past few days so I could request to take the royal guards exam. So I went to James, the captain of the guard, and requested to take the exam. I planned to be the first female royal guard and I trained years to do so.

The test itself isn't that difficult there are two parts to it. The first part you do in your human form where you go through an obstacle course and fight against one of the best royal guardsmen. The second part is in wolf form where you also have to go through an obstacle course and lead a group of wolves into a mission. I had personal experiences to help guide me through the exam, which made it easier for me to pass.

"Good job," James said once I finished my exam.

"So does that mean I passed?" I asked.

"Yes," he replied proudly.

My jaw dropped and I quickly shut it and straightened my posture then extended my hand. "Thank you James for seeing that I was worthy enough to be a part of the royal guard."

James shook my hand, "my pleasure."

I skipped towards the library after telling James to keep this a secret until I was ready to announce it to Leonardo and Josette. I stopped in front of the door and opened it. It was quiet in the library as I walked through the aisles. I sniffed the air and picked up Ethan's scent I followed his sent to the front of the library where he was sitting at a table waiting for me. Once he saw me he immediately stood up and pulled out a chair for me.

"Thank you," I said as he pushed my seat in.

"You're welcome," he said taking his seat.

"So you wanted to discuss my problem," I stated.

"Well first I wanted to apologize for my unruly behavior the other day. I don't know what possessed me to do such a thing especially to you," he apologized.

"It's okay everyone slips up and like you said we aren't technically related but I do have a boyfriend," I said thinking about Carter for a moment.

"I know and I'm sorry I should have realized that but I was just thinking with my dick," he admitted.

"Yeah you were," I laughed.

"So am I forgiven?" he asked.

"Yes, I've already forgiven you a long time ago," I replied.

"Good," he said clasping his hands together, "now let's settle your problem."

I looked around and saw a few younger werewolves studying at a table not too far away from ours. I knew that they could pick up everything that we were talking about and I didn't want them to know exactly what I was about to say.

"Old English?" I asked looking at the group of boys.

"Sure why not," Ethan replied.

"Where shall I begin?"

"From the beginning," Ethan responded.

"To put it into simple terms I have found my mate," I started.

"Well congratulations why is that such a bad thing?"

"It is not a bad thing…it's just not a pleasant one at the moment," I said.

"What has made this joyous news unpleasant?" he asked looking at me puzzled.

"You see I…I can't explain at the moment but can I tell you what happened exactly," I said and he nodded. "It all started one evening when I was out dancing with Carter, and he was kidnapped. In the meeting I was present in the Alpha of our pack asked if Carter and I were mates since the letter indicated that we were. At the time being, I told him no, which was the truth at the time. However, later on when the Alpha came to give me some good news about Carter's whereabouts I lied and told him that Carter was my mate. Of course, he was furious about me stating a false hood to him so he went mad with anger and stormed out of my room. Later on my wolf warned me of his return and I fled. I went to Carter's whereabouts defeated his captors and asked if he would flea with me to London. When he agreed we boarded the next flight and you know the rest."

"So Carter is not your mate?" he asked.

"No," I replied.

"Then who is your mate?"

"If you are kind, you will not let me speak his name," I replied looking down at the table.

"I am kind and if you would not like to tell me the name of your mate then so be it," he said.

"Thank you."

"It's not a problem at all. Now let's discuss the problem at hand," he started. "You ran away not only from an Alpha who wants answer but I'm sure a very confused mate. And how long do you plan on residing here?"

"If it pleases the King I would like to spend the rest of my school year here and take off to start college in the summer," I said.

"Hmm I'm sure the King will be happy to hear your news," he said with a smile and I smiled back.

"But what about your boyfriend Carter, does he know that you have a mate?" he asked looking me in the eyes.

"Yes he does and he does not have a problem with staying by my side. He only wants me to be happy and he knows that I will need him in the future when I get into the later stages of the heat."

"That makes perfect sense to have a boyfriend there to help you with your…needs," he said.

"He will not be helping me with those type of needs," I said slapping my hand against his shoulder.

"Oh really," he said letting out a deep chuckle, "that's what you say now but I highly doubt that you will be saying that later."

"I'll prove you wrong," I said getting up.

"Okay deal," he said getting up and extending his hand. "There will be no other forms of sexual activity besides hugging and kissing for the remainder of your time here."

"Agreed," I said shaking his hand.

After that, we walked out of the library and headed for the training area. I wanted to meet Carter after his first day of training and see how he liked it. I watched as I saw Carter fight with Oliver in their human forms. Carter was quick on his, which was a good thing in fighting. I couldn't help but watch the sweat glistening off his six-pack and I held onto a growl that wanted to escape my lips. Dang this might be a little harder than I thought.

"Good job Carter," I said once he was standing in front of me.

"Thanks Love," he said giving me a sweaty kiss on the cheek.

"Ew," I said wiping the sweat away with the back of my hand and Carter laughed.

"Ah come on I saw you checking me out while I was fighting earlier. I don't know why you are disgusted by me now," he said and I blushed.

"Well it's because…"

"Because?"

"Never mind," I said defeated.

"That's what I thought," he said with a grin.

"Well you ought to take a shower and I'll make you some lunch," I said.

"Alright," he said kissing my other cheek making me scowl at him.

I couldn't wait to tell everyone about passing the test. But I wanted to wait for the perfect time so I guess I'll hold this information with me for a while until I find the right time to say. I couldn't help but feel that this year isn't going to be as long as I hope it will be. I guess I'll just have to endure until it will finally time for me to go home.
