BOOK ONE : The wealthy daughter finds her mate

Chapter 7: The family pain

I tried so hard to speak to Aurora so that she could help me but she was asleep, finally as I was about to ask to be excused for a bathroom break she woke up and started helping me to regain control.

" Ariel your eyes have changed color they are now grey, are you alright? Your eyes look as if a storm is happening. Talk to me"

I am fine just a bit overwhelmed. Is that your mother? As we turned to the beautiful lady in the long blue gown, she is so beautiful and look so young.

" Yes that is my mother, my father is just behind her and those 2 are my brothers Andrew and Alec."

As the queen turned towards me I began biting my lips, no amount of conferences and meetings had prepared me for this one.

" Well hello my dear, how are you doing? I am Queen Evie, this is King Alexander with my sons prince Andrew and Alec. I presume you already met my first son Aiden."

Hello my king and Queen, hello my princes. It is my utmost honor to be in your presence, yes I have met prince Aiden .

We chatted for a while before the breakfast was ready. We then ate in silence after which Queen Evie invited me to walk with her in her garden.

" Thank you so much for meeting me here Ariel, you are a very beautiful girl btw I love your cheek bones and your radiant skin.
I saw the way my son looked at you and the way you looked at him. I know he loves you and so I want you to know that I am happy he finally found his mate after all he have been through over the years. I hope that I will get to see you often as I have been longing for a daughter since Adrianna died.
We've lost our only daughter by rogues who killed her while she was returning from the mall, it happened three years ago when she was 17, we haven't recovered from it since and so Alex and I want to retire soon to travel the world and heal from it.
Aiden has been leading all his life and no doubt will be a great king, I am now happy to see that he found an amazing Queen. My heart is filled with pride. "

Oh no I am truly sorry for your loss my Queen, No parent should be burying their child and so my condolences to you and your family. I am so happy that you have blessed our future union and I sincerely hope that all will be healed from this tragedy. You are a wonderful and strong woman and so I intend to make you proud as the new queen.

I later returned to Aiden who wanted to watch the pack members train and so I spent the rest of the day doing just that after which we had picnic.
