The flowers continued, after all the breeds of roses were done he started with another breed, one day it would be as wild as sunflowers, the other it would be as tame as violets.
Sofia appreciated everything, she appreciate his attempts at winning her heart and maybe just maybe it was working but still she feared.
She feared him and that was not a great base to built a relationship on. But besides her fear with each flower he sent, her heart became heavier then the last time he sent a flower, for it longed for his presents, it longed for his touch, his voice and all this confused her.
She knew immediately it was the power of the bond for how can she crave the touch of someone she feared.
There was only a few days left till the end of the mating season and today there would be a sort of formal breakfast where mates interacted and those without still got a chance to look for their mates before the end of the season. And if you don't find your mate this season there would always be next season.
Sofia dressed in her favorite pink dress, her hair was not combed and her feet had no shoes...as usual. She picks up Cookie from the bed and makes her way to the dinning room where everyone was already seated and eating.
River was sitting with her mate somewhere near the head seat which meant Sofia had to sit alone...not alone but with Cookie, she found that she didnt mind.
Sofia finds a seat near the large windows of the dinning room. She takes two plates and fills one with toast and jam while the other she fills with grapes and watermelons.
One for her and the other for Cookie.
As Sofia took a bite out of her food she hummed a tune of joy, her legs swinging back and forth with each bite.
She was so indulged with her food she didn't notice that the king had entered the dining room and that everyone was bowed.
His eyes find their way to her direction and they stare in awe at the girl as she ate her food singing her little tune. He wanted to kiss the jam that stained her lips, he wanted to place her on his lap and feed her, he wanted to make sure she never lifts a finger in her life. He needed to take care of her.
Feeling a burning gaze Sofia lifts her gaze from the plate and notices everyones bowed position, she looks further and notices the king looking at her with such intensity. She found herself a blushing mess.
Frantically she rises from her chair and makes an attempt to bow but a load growl stops her. A wave of fear washes over her and she looks at him in question.
He shakes his head and motions for her to sit down. She sits and he almost smiled at her obedience, good girl.
This interaction does not go unnoticed by the people.
The king motions for everyone to sit as he made his way to his seat which was at the head of the table. 10 heads away from Sofia.
Sofia continues eating ignoring the burning gaze from Lucian. Well trying to rather.
The burning feeling on Sofia started to feel intense almost painful. Sofia could feel sweat dripping down her back.
She takes a glass of water and gulps it all hoping it would cool her down or lubricate her dry throat but to no avail if anything it seemed to have only started a war in her stomach. Sofia felt sharp pains in her stomach as well as an overwhelming heat wash over her.
She groans in pain, her food forgotten. Lucians direction shifts from his food upon hearing her groans.
He watches her, although his face was blank his eyes were worried.
Her groans and whimpers turn louder catching everyones attention then suddenly a group of growls are heard.
All the unmated male wolves could smell her scent that was enhance by the heat and they all wanted her.
Sofia continues to cry out load not noticing the hungry eyes on her.
The king was bothered, very much bothered by the eyes on his mate, he growls loudly in warning causing the attention to shift to him. All the wolves whimper baring their necks, showing submission to their king in fear that they have angered him somehow.
He stands up from his seat and makes its way to a hunched Sofia who was crying.
As he got closser her scent hit him with such force that he almost stumbled. She was in heat.
He could feel his wolf clawing the back of his head as he wanted to be released and mark her right there infront of everyone.
The urge was so bad, so bad that his eyes changed colour and his claws revealed themself as his wolf attempted to make an appearance but the worry and concern for his mate made him put aside his urges and go help his mate.
He lifts her up in his arms and carried her to his room, not caring for the eyes that watched him.
Sofia snuggles closer to the figure that was carrying her as she felt her pain subside. She moans in pleasure as she felt the tingles all over her body instead of the sharp pain and heat.
Her arms tighten around his neck as he tightens his around her body, pulling her closer.
"You're okay aren't you, darling, mh I'll make it better." He whispers.
Sofia just nods her head all fear for her mate, forgotten.
