Werewolf Charming

Chapter 13

Max's P.O.V

     I’m overjoyed when I hear what Kalia tells me. I’m so happy I nearly jump on top of Kalia and claim her right then and there but I know better. She needs to tell me when she’s ready for that and I am still a prince, I have to show more respect for her than what others would do. So instead I offer her something her first mates failed to give her. I give her a kiss, on the lips. I keep it soft, quick, and gentle. I pull away after a second and stare at my beautiful treasure of a mate.
     “I’m sorry, I didn’t want to frighten you but I also couldn’t hold back from that much longer,” I whisper and then I kiss Kalia’s forehead.
     “It’s okay Max, I kinda liked it.” I hear this and pout slightly. 
     “Only kinda?” I tease her lightly and when she smiles softly I continue. “I guess I better fix that,” I kiss her again, still as gentle as the first but I hold it for longer. A lot longer. By the time I pull away I notice the giant smile on Kalia’s face. She doesn’t say anything for a moment but I move myself from my spot on the floor to the bed.
     “So much better,” She says and I can hear the happiness in her voice.
     “Baby have you eaten yet?” I ask, realizing how late it’s getting. She shakes her head. I don’t get up from the bed as I pull a rope that hangs from the ceiling by the head of the bed. Almost instantly a butler comes in and bows to me.
     “You rang sir?” The butler says.
     “Yes, Could you see to it that my mate here gets something to eat for dinner. I want only the best for her,” I say, my words are polite but also slightly demanding. Being the prince has its perks but I’ve never liked ordering the staff around too much. Normally I’d do certain things myself unless I’m busy with my royal duties. 
     “Right away sir,” The butler says and leaves the room. I look back at Kalia and see that her smile hasn’t left her face. What I wouldn’t do to keep it there.
    “So how do you think things are fairing with Courtney and the guard captain?” She asks and I realize that Collin must’ve forgotten to introduce himself again. He’s always forgetting his manners.
     “Well my gorgeous princess, Collin is probably talking about his victories from the many many missions my father and mother has sent him on,” I say with a chuckle and attempt to use my original pet name for Kalia.
     “Courtney is probably gushing about it. She’s always been more of the falling in love with a knight in shining armor type,” She laughs. “I’ll bet she’s talking about her tailoring business and the many many nobles she’s met.” We talk for a while about our friends and eventually Kalia’s food arrives.
