(Sequel to The Queen's Alpha)
"Excuse me, miss?" I say, but her reaction caused something other than finding each other. She turned around with a gasp, almost like she had been caught. My wolf started chanting "Mate, Mate, Mate" and I know she fel...

Caroline's POV
The amazing smell of fresh, hot food flew into the room as Alex brought in a tray full of food from the kitchen downstairs. There was an array of Italian food now sitting in front of me as he sets the tray down. There was spaghetti, chicken parmesan, lasagna, marsala, garlic bread, and even some desserts that I didn't even know the name of. When Alex had asked what I wanted to eat, I had no clue what to ask for, I had barely ever gotten a choice on what food I ate. He had asked what was my favorite type of food since I couldn't decide just one and I told him Italian.
"That smells delicious, do you get to eat this stuff every meal?" I ask as he places a plate down in front of me.
"Just about, the chef's are amazing and very well-trained, I've never had a bad meal." He replies, starting to grab some food for his plate. "What looks good to you?"
"Everything" I laugh, I was letting myself open up to him instead of fighting the instincts. "I haven't had food this good in so long, what do you suggest?"
"Why don't I make you a plate and we can find out what you like and dislike?" He smiles, down at me as he begins reaching across the dining table to fill up my plate. His dining room was the perfect size, it connected to his kitchen and all flowed into his living room. Everything was so opened planned and not too big, I had always thought the royal family lived in giant luxurious rooms decorated like the victorian times but it was quite modern and sleek.
"Thank you, I can't wait to try everything." I almost started drooling at food he placed in front of me. "I haven't had a hot meal like this in forever."
"Well get used to your new normal, honey, I can assure you that you'll always have a hot meal waiting for you for the rest of your life." He said, swirling his spaghetti with a fork and then taking a bite. Once I saw that he had started eating, I dug in to mine. The flavors seemed to explode in my mouth and seemed to wake up my stomach to how hungry I was. I couldn't stop myself as I kept eating, barely taking breaths in between bites. I quickly looked over to see Alex staring at me, with his mouth ajar.
"Sorry, not very ladylike of me." I blush, slowing down my eating.
"Don't be sorry, I was just in awe of how I was gifted a mate who could chow down on some food. It's honestly sorta refreshing to see someone not eating like all the royals were trained." He smiles, reaching across the table to rub my hand.
"You never seen a woman eat like this before?" I joke, making him snort out a laugh while having his mouth full of sauce. He swallowed before replying to me.
"You'd be surprised how regal and proper people eat around me?" He says. "Everyone always is on their best behavior, it's just how it is I guess."
"Do you expect me to act like that? I don't even know how to curtsey correctly." I laugh, I hadn't thought about how his title would change how I acted.
