Chapter 5

There was something about her that I couldn't quite grasp. Ever since that run in, in the hallway last night I couldn't get her out of my head. Now I know that this isn't just the mate bond, something is different and I want to know what. Seeing her face in pain, I stormed into Aleksey's room. He was on his bed, blood smeared over his shirt and tears running down his face.

"I want you to go and apologise to Soleil, you had no right to turn around and bite her, did you?" His tears increasing and large sobs were falling from him. "Come on kid, get into fathers room." He hopped off the bed, taking hold of my hand before walking with me to his office. Knocking on the door, we walked in.

"Lecky, what is wrong? Why have you got blood on you? What have you done?" His tone softened as his arms opened to his youngest son.

"I b... I bit Soleil, I didn't mean to!" He cried into father as he snuggled into his arms. "She's gonna hate me!"

"Soleil?" Confusion overtaking his face.

"My nanny, she comes every day to see me"

"Don't worry about it, she's temporary and it'll heal." Did he just say that? My mate is temporary, a growl erupted and his eyes met mine.

"But I love her!" He moaned as more tears fell. Our attention turned back to Aleksey.

"Fine, write an apology letter, you can't leave until you finish it." Aleksey nodded as he sat at the desk and used the pen next to the paper.

"What was that about?" He motioned towards the seat.

"Nothing." I shrugged it off like it was nothing special.

"Deimos Theodore Valdez-Volkov, tell me right now." Alpha command, fuck.

"Soleil is my mate, dad. I don't know what to do. On one hand I want to reject her because it feels like she doesn't want me, but I can't do it! I don't know what to talk to her about, I don't know whether she even wants me, why are girls so difficult? I mean, I only met her last night and the way she acts with Aleksey, I couldn't help but just smile! What should I do?" I ran my hand through my hair.

"Bring her into the room at 5pm; we need to discuss where to go from here"

///Soleil///

Making my way down the hallway, I wrung my hands. The king wanted to see me, this was over Aleksey, I could feel it. I had been pacing for the past few minutes, debating on whether or not I should knock on the door. Feeling a surge of adrenaline, I knocked on the door. The door pulled open, and three sets of eyes fell onto me. I fully curtseyed as I saw them.

"Lee-lee, I wrote you a letter." The two men watched patiently, as the small boy ran over and handed me a letter.

'Dear Lee-lee I did not mean to bite you, and I hope you can forgive me. I love you very much, Aleksey" with a little drawing underneath.

"It's okay, sir, thank you" I stroked his hair as he wrapped his arm around my waist. I sighed and gave the two men a side glance.

"Sit down please, Miss Soleil" I nodded, moving to sit in the seat beside Deimos. The King shuffled his papers, ignoring the curious gazes from both I and Deimos. "In recent lights, it has come to my attention that you are the mate to my son here." He motioned towards Deimos before crossing his arms and leaning back in his chair. My heart began hammering in my ears, my breathing gradually increasing.

"Sir, I hope you don't mind my intrusion but I would much rather remain in my job, I know my behaviour wasn't the best yesterday but please don't make me give up my job, I hope the council have alerted you about my previous situation."

"I'm not going to force you to resign; we need to make plans about the mate situation." My brows furrowed, mate situation? There was no mate situation, we're from two different classes with two different backgrounds, so there was no way we could be together. "I want you to see where you can go from here, if it appears as though it is successful then we'll look into potential changes to your job." I was shocked, what was happening?

"Um, thank you very much sir. Will that be all?" He nodded, waving his hand in a dismissive manner. Shuffling out the room, I leant against the wall. That was too close. A hand held onto mine, from the warmth that met my hand, I knew who it was before I looked over. His eyes held a sense of concern as he hesitated his hand centimetres away from my face. "Please don't." I whispered.

"Why not?" Crestfallen, like a puppy whose master had left it behind.

"Because we are too different." His hand found its way onto my waist pulling me closer to him. Don't get me wrong, this is completely unlike me, takes a few dates before a guy can pull me close.

"How can you say we're different when you don't know me and I don't know you? Give me a chance." His breath fanned my face as his forehead leant on mine. "Come to dinner with me, tonight." I began protesting. "No buts-"

"Soleil? Deimos?" Aslan. We jumped away from each other and faced the tall male walking towards us.

"Aslan!" I smiled at him as I put distance between me and Deimos. "What are you doing here?"

"It's almost service time, why are you here with him?" His eyes flicked towards Deimos in an almost disgust.

"The King required my assistance." He nodded. "Do you need help with anything?" Rubbing my clammy hands on my apron as I stepped forward.

"No. I'm sure you're busy with the prince anyway." He brushed past, anger evident on his face. I felt bad, he warned me and I didn't listen.

"Excuse me" I muttered, walking in the direction of Aslan.

"I'll pick you up at 9."
