NEXT DAY

Christina's POV

I take a shower brush my teeth and pull my hair into a high ponytail I put on my underwear. I'm going to go for a run after discussing what time our date was for we watched movies late into the night and I fell asleep on him I'm blushing thinking about it how embarrassing. I'm slowly feeling more comfortable around him, I sometimes have to remind myself to not be so uptight to relax it doesn't come easy to me I wasn't raised to talk about feelings or talk about romantic things like dates it just wasn't done in Illyria.
I put on my splash purple and black sports bra and yoga sports leggings, my light blue trainer socks and trainers. I almost walk into odd Mark his hand was up at the door as if he was about to knock. "Oh um Luna I was just coming to apologise I get I probably didn't make a great first impression I promise I'm not usually an ass. I want to clear the air I'm sorry." I frown confused "oookkk what for you didn't exactly insult me so we're good if I come off a bit stand offish I apologise, where I grew up showing any emotion was frowned upon. So now that we're good do you wanna go on a run with me I was going to find Lance as well the more the merrier I guess." Mark beams a blinding smile at me. "I'd love to Luna" "Christina, please not used to formal names yet." He frowns in confusion "aren't you a Princess shouldn't you be used to people calling you your Highness and all. I shake my head "no they knew I was a princess but my parents weren't married like usual royal couples. I mean my father has 16 other kids from 15 different women. My mother has 12 probably going to be more in the next two years. So I'm surrounded by half siblings, it's strange for me walking around here with people holding hands and like Lance's parents only have one more child but his parents are together none of that is my norm. Sorry I don't usually divulge so much to someone I barely know." I look down at my feet stupid he's probably wondering how he can get out of going on a run with me. "Don't worry L-Christina I mean I can't really understand your life back home, I get this is different but can I ask you to give it a chance our Alpha although he can be temperamental but that's the prideful Alpha wolf in him since you've arrived I've noticed him questioning his actions more you've only been with us a few days and he's already whipped." "What is whipped I don't understand, we're not going to bake." He laughs like I said something hilarious. "I don't mean whipped as in baking Christina I mean whipped like the He would do anything you asked him to do. Whereas before you he was a tyrant if someone said something he didn't like you'd have to run for your life no joke."
We reach the office this seems to be his favourite place I don't get it I'd rather be outside. "Come in love." I watch the closed door stunned Mark smiles whispers "he can smell your scent Christina that's how he knew it was you." I nod my head slowly and open the door when Lance sees Mark next to me he fiercely growls and in a second he's between us "did he insult you love?" "NO NO of course not Mark's a nice guy he apologised I still don't understand why when there's nothing to apologise for... look that's not why I came here. I was wandering if you'd go on a run with me but your probably busy Mark and I will let you get back to it." "You're going on a run with an unmated male I'm coming love, let me just change real quick." I sweetly smile worked like a charm. Lance bent down looked at me for assurance I leaned forward and felt his lips on me his stubble scratching my chin giving me extra tingles. He nipped my lower lip I got the message and granted his tongue access. We duelled for dominance but he won and I was lost in the feel of his swirling tantalising tongue and lips until a throat cleared I instantly pulled away from the kiss looking down at the suddenly interesting wooden floor. Whilst Lance growled I looked up saw his eyes flash black Nero's coming I spot Mark move his head to reveal his neck more, what an odd thing to do. I couldn't help but feel angry but it's not my anger it's Lance's. I step in between his line of vision diverting his gaze back to me I pull him in for a hug I get a feeling this will help Lance chill.
Once outside I'm pulled in by my waist as Lance stares down Mark I roll my eyes this is getting old really quickly. I wriggle out of his grip and take off Ariella who was rather quiet today speaks to me he's acting possessive then again he said he would I don't like that side Tina it's scary. Maybe we shouldn't be near any male then he'll be ok with us. "I don't think that's a feasible idea, how can we not run into other guys here, besides it's not us he's mad at Ariella I don't think he can help it."
"MATE where are you going?" I huff at his panicked state I can't take him treating his own pack like that. Once I run to the tree line I stop and almost stumble when I turn to see a pissed off mate glaring at me. "Why'd you run off?" I glare back "YOU WERE BEING A BULLY. HOW DARE YOU TREAT HIM LIKE THAT. HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" I screamed at him moving my hands dramatically. He sighed in frustration "Look he interrupted a great moment what did you expect me to be like, happy, he didn't exactly make you feel welcome when you got here did he?" I laugh sarcastically. "Like you did much better, sometimes people don't make a good first impression but he never said anything insulting to me so I can overlook his rudeness what I can't overlook is you bullying your own pack Mr. King." I wrap my arms over my chest and his eyes shoot to my breasts really males. "Ok so I may have gone off a little but he pissed me off and why did you run away from me." He came right up I could smell his scent making me dizzy but I shook it off he was only a couple of inches from my face. "Love why'd you run again?" I gulped my throat feeling dry. "I-I wanted to go for a r-run r-remember, so thanks now I'm leaving to get ready for this supposedly awesome date you won't tell me anything about. Like what do you wear on a date so thanks pal, thanks for the help." I pat his chest ooohhh muscles, I walk away back to the castle.
