A few hours still remained before the evening ball began and the King was filled with anticipation.
He had felt it when his mate detached from him and left but he decided not to follow her as his head was filled with conflict.
His intrigue still peaked when he thought about the pure, innocent girl but his heart was beating in another tune and so he decided it was best to wait a while before he pursued his mate for now he would get this...this curiosity he felt for the girl he learnt was named Sofia out of the way then he would find his mate and make her his queen.
Lucian never cared about finding his mate, and even if he did he never expected to feel so...almost obsessed if you will.
Sofia too never thought she would think about her mate this much, she never expected to meet her mate, she never even thought about having a mate.
All she cared for was River, nature and recently Cookie but she found her self adding her mate to the list.
She was so excited to meet her mate that when the time to get ready for the ball came she decided to wear one of the dresses their maid and assistant Maria had brought something that sent both Maria and River into shock but Sofia wanted to look good for when they sniff out her mate.
She even went as far as to ask River to do her hair.
Once she was dressed in a rosy pink gown with a build in corset that was tightened and tied at the back and her hair plated into a long single plate with flowers decorated inside the plates, Sofia put on a pair of hilled shoes but soon took them off and wore flats.
She wanted to look pretty but she had already exceeded her comfort level and was already feeling uncomfortable.
"You don't have to dress like this my sweet." River says noticing how Sofia looked--uncomfortable and sad.
"But, but i want to look pretty for my mate." Sofia whispers nervously. She didn't like the feel of the plates and the dress but she looked pretty so she just had to suck it up and get it over with.
"I know dear, but you look pretty even without all that and I'm sure he would agree." River says with a soft smile.
"Okay, buy can i still wear this." Sofia asks, she still wanted to impress her mate with this outfit. It made her look mature and not like a little girl.
"Thats fine but if you get tired of the clothes you tell me and we'll change them immediately, okay?" River says sternly.
Sofia nods her head and waits for River to finished getting dressed so that they could leave.
Once River was in her black gown with red jewels decorating the corset she wears matching black hills, does her hair into an updo and paints her lips red.
They make their way to the ball and already the room was bustling with sounds of joy.
Unlike last time there were no places to sit but instead a Buffett table with all kinds of foods and an open space for dancing and mingling.
Sofia was intimidated by the large numbers of people concluding that more people had arrived today.
The room must be housing more then 200 people.
"How are we going to find my mate with so many people." Sofia whispers in Rivers ear. The music was loud as a live band played on the rised area where the king ate last time.
"Simple, we mingle." River says. She grabs Sofias hand and leads her to group with a bunch of people talking and laughing.
River told Sofia to sniff around in order to find her mates scent and although it was weird she did but soon felt like stopping as different scents welfed her nose and almost had her coughing.
She had to do this with all the groups they entertained but none had her mate this made her mood dampen and her eyes sting.
"I don't think he is here River." Sofia says sadly, her eyes slightly watering. It was starting to seem as if she wasn't going to ever find her mate.
River squeezed the girls hand as a form of comfort and said, "Don't worry my sweet, I'm sure we'll find him somehow don't loose ho-" her speech was cut of by a person who bumped into her shoulder making her stumble backwards.
A set of hands grab her forearms to steady her and she immediately felt the sparks.
Her mate.
