What The Alpha King Wants

Date?

Rafael's POV:

After I closed the door on raven I turned to face Lacey giving her the best death look I could give.

I finally get her to open up and talk to me and Lacey just comes barging in.

"What do you want Lacey," I asked annoyed

Walking back into the living room Lacey was there making herself at home

"I just wanted to see you"

I care about Lacey but not even close to what I feel for raven.

Raven is my maritus or in other English words my mate.

She was mine forever.

The only reason I had to leave when I was younger was that my parents only came here for a short period of time to handle the alliance with the wolves here, the last thing they expected was for me to find my mate. It was normally the way if I was to find my mate she would have to come back with me but in this case, I couldn't take raven from her family.

After I told them they were excited but when they found out that she was human they said it was best for me to keep my distance because she wouldn't understand our ways and it was against laws that humans found out about us.

It wasn't common for lycans to have a human mate, it was more common for wolves

I tried to keep my distance for the last few years but it didn't work

I knew my parents wouldn't get it so almost all the people she knows I implanted them in her life. She was mine and I wouldn't let her get away.

Ever.

I know I should let her have a shot at a normal life, that I should move on but it's impossible, I waited for this moment 600 years, I wasn't gonna let her go just like that, even if I wanted to I couldn't.

I crossed my arms

"What do you want," I said each word slowly

"Fine. I tried to mind link you for the last two days but you weren't answering. Your mother says you have one four days or she's coming here and dragging you back herself"

I have fucking four days to tell raven about me or risk losing her to either my mother or someone else who wants to challenge me and take my mate

"Alright, is that all?"

Lacey got up from the couch walking over to me

I think she meant to do it seductively as she swayed her hips but it came off as stumbling

"I was thinking we could have some fun, kinda like old times"

She put her arms around my neck, making my skin burn

Now that I actually have a connection with my mate it makes any other females touch seem toxic

Gritting my teeth, I pulled her arms away

"No, never again will we do that"

This made her mad but I didn't care

"It's because of her isn't it"

"Does it matter I said no"

"You know what since you love your little amazing human so much why haven't you told her about us yet? Are you scared she will reject you? Or better yet what if she found out you were there the night of the crash and only saved her and not her sister? Then she'll hate you"

Lacey was only a friend because we grew up together but somewhere around 16 we crossed that line and I knew it was wrong so I tried to tell her that we shouldn't do it anymore and she should look for her mate but she never got it through her thick head
