🎶NF - thinking

Aspen's POV:

Myra was not giving me a break over last night's mysterious man, so I twisted and turned all night. I turned to try to get a better night's sleep, but a sharp pain surged through my entire body, forcing me to sit up straight and giving me a headache.

Wow, today isn't going to be a good day for me.

I looked around the room and it didn't look anything like the one I'd slept in for the majority of my stay; it was manly in a good manner. The walls were a deep scarlet hue, and the ceilings were high beamed. There were four white doors; I assumed the one next to me was the bathroom, the two double doors were most likely closets, and the one in the corner was unknown.
The door slid open, displaying a woman in her mid-thirties with Auburn brown hair and chartreuse green eyes, standing around 5'9 and incredibly attractive. Halfway through the door, she began whistling a song that brought back memories of my pack, causing me to jump up and fall to the floor with a loud thud. The woman abruptly stopped what she was doing and looked around, petrified and embarrassed, I grabbed the bed's duvet cover and cocooned myself in it on the floor. When something tapped on the duvet, I carefully exposed myself and peered in the direction of the tapper, taking long deep breaths to calm my pounding heart and breathing. The woman gave me an odd look for a moment before smiling.

"Oh my goodness, Sugar plum, I apologise if I scared you; I had no idea someone would be in here by the time I arrived "she squealed

"Um, it's fine," I mumbled.

"Honey, let me grab you some water," she says.

With a genuine smile, she took a bottle from what appeared to be her bag and gave it to me.

I gave a thank-you nod.

"Pleasure, sweetie pie, what's your name?" she inquired.

I rarely speak to strangers, but that's also because I haven't met anyone new in my pack since the abuse began, so you could say I've gone silent except when I'm with Landon and Jacqueline. I was getting a nice feeling from this woman, as if she reminds me of someone familiar; I'm probably thinking about someone else.......Yeah probably

I whispered, "Aspen Carson."

"Nice to meet you, bumblebee," she says, introducing herself as Melany.

"Melany, whose room is this?" I asked quietly.

"Why my darling, this is the Alpha Prince's room," she replies, her face a little confused.

"Oh," I gasped. I could feel my face go pale

"Are you all right?" Melany inquires, "You fell pretty hard?"

Is this really the room of the Alpha Prince?! I wonder which Alpha Prince? I mean according to rumours they are smoking hot! Mmm...But why was I in his room? I mean I'm a nobody, and what made him bring me here ? What is he going to do to me? Was last night's mystery man one of the Alpha prince's? Who was he? I really should stop thinking too much. Argh flipping migraine

The doors slammed open, and a mystery man stood there dressed casually in dark blue jeans, a maroon golf shirt, and sneakers, looking illegally gorgeous,but his eyes were a different colour. He walked over to my side of his bed, which was probably a king size.

"Mate!" Myra howled

"No, mate, I don't have mate!" I yelled

"You do,trust me" Myra smirked

"Melany, you may go," he said.

"Yes, Alpha Prince," she bows as she gathers her belongings and closes the door before smiling softly at me.

"Are you feeling fine,ghaoil?" he inquires.
[Translation:love]❤️

I lowered my head and nodded.

He hissed, "Don't ever turn your head at me."

I nodded

"And don't call me by my title; my wolf doesn't like it; it's Hayden to you." Hayden declares

He understood when I mimed a book and pen, and he walked over to a drawer and got out a notepad and pen, which he handed to me.

How did I wind up here, Hayden?

"You passed out at the ball, so I took you back to my room," Hayden says.

I stared at him in wonder for a long time; he's quite attractive. As he imitated me, he tilted his head to the side. He stared at me for a long time, various emotions swimming around in his eyes, but he managed to make my pulse beat faster and faster.

"Leannan,what's your name?" He inquires.
[Translation: sweetheart]💕

Aspen Carson

He licked his lips and whispered my name with ease, as if it came naturally to him. That action made my heart race.

Will you simply execute me now?

"What makes you think I'd want to kill you?" he wondered.

Because I'm a filthy teen that you just happened to save from a skull fracture, and I presume you don't want anything to do with me anymore.

Sparks flew over my face as he knelt down to my level and gently lifted my chin with his index finger. He stared at me with a sorrowful expression and blinked his eyes quickly, as if he was absorbing what I had written down. When he looked at me as if I had just broken his heart by my words, my heart fell; I'm not sure why I felt that way, but I did, and it was a strange sensation.

"When I touch you, do you notice the sparks that dance across your skin?" He enquired.

I nodded.

"Do you have any idea what they mean?" He enquired.

No

"They mean you're my mate, my destined half, my soulmate, and I'd never come to harm you, even if I had the chance," he stated.

Mate? As in the one where the Moon Goddess blesses a wolf with?

"Yes, little Aspen, you're my mate, and you're paired up with me," he informs
