(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...

Aria's POV
I peel my eyes open to see nothing familiar, I'm in a bed way too comfy to be my own, I'm not freezing like my apartment is, and there's a man asleep right next to me. It wasn't a dream, I really was the Prince's mate and was sleeping in the castle. I had dreamed of walking around these hallways and waltzing in the ballroom whenever I would stare at the large castle from the village.
I couldn't help but stare at my handsome mate asleep next to me, I had admired him over the past few days but never for long in fear of the embarrassment of him catching me staring. He looked so peaceful, his face was so relaxed as he laid on his stomach with his head turned to my side of the bed. I could see a shadow of stubble growing across his face, it made me smile to think of him with beard, what would he look like with a beard?
"I gotta pee." I whisper, looking towards the two doors trying to decide which is the bathroom, I've been in there before but I can't remember which one is correct. I slowly slide out of the bed in effort to not wake Alex up. I grab onto the cold golden handle of the door, inching it open, praying it doesn't creak. I luckily picked the correct door, shutting it quietly behind me. I use the bathroom and as I was washing my hands, I heard a noise come the bedroom.
I dry off my hands and slowly open the door again, I see Alex sitting up in the bed looking around franticly.
"There you are!" He lets out a sigh of relief when he sees me.
"Did I wake you up?" I ask, standing in the bathroom doorway.
"You didn't, but the absence of your presence woke me up. I didn't know where you went, it had me worried." He said, relaxing back into the bed.
"I just had to pee." I sheepishly said, looking down at my feet.
"It's okay, sweetheart, do you want to come lay back down?" He asked, I could feel my heart pulling me towards the bed, or should I say Alex. I smiled at him and moved towards the bed, sliding back under the covers.
"How did you sleep?" He asked, wrapping his arm around my shoulder as I settled back into his chest.
"That was probably the best night of sleep I have ever had." I blush, playing with the thread of the comforter, not daring to look up at his face.
"Me too, the mate bond is so much more than I ever imagined." He laughed "We have a busy day today."
"What do you mean?" I ask, finally looking up at him. I could see the drowsiness still hanging in his eyes, his hair is a ruffled mess, but he looked perfect to me.
"Well guess who's training starts today? My beautiful mate right here." He smiled, placing a kiss on my forehead.
"Oh Goddess! Today?" I groan, I did not want to train today. Sore muscles were not on my agenda.
"Yes Ma'am, you get the spend the whole day with me and my warriors." He said, squeezing me tight making me giggle. "Let's get out of bed and start the day!"
