Werewolf Cinderella

Chapter 16

Katie POV:

I walked over to the kitchen and started to make some soup for dinner. Chicken noodle. One of moms favorite. I chopped up some carrots and celery.While walking over to the living room, I saw the king asleep on the chair, and Danny holding a pillow on the couch.

I walked over and placed a blanket on the king and on Danny. He shifted a bit as I placed his blanket on him. His eyes scrunched up and he was shaking his head a bit.

I placed my hand on his head, and intertwined my fingers in his hair. He relaxed and went back to sleep. I smiled and kissed his forehead. He snuggled into the pillow and dosed off. I stood up and walked back to the kitchen.

I stirred in the noodles and was about to put the vegetables in, but I heard a yawn and looked to see the king walking in.

"Would you like some,sir?"I asked him. He sat at a tabke and nodded his head. I placed a soup bowl in front of him along with a spoon.

I got myself a bowl and sat next to him. As i was about to dig in he asked something.

"Pardon me, but may I have a napkin?" He asked. I nodded my head and reached across the table and plucked one for him.

"Thank you,my dear," he said taking it from my hand. I started to eat and noticed him standing.

"No,let me take care of that," i said.

"You,my dear,have been taking care of people all your life. Let me," he said walking to the bowl. I dare not argue. I finished my keal and walked over to the living room.

Daniel was still fast asleep,only his head went under the blanket. I walked over and lifted the blanket to place it back by his shoulders.

And the sight I saw was priceless. He was snuggling with the pillow. I was going to say 'awe',but i didnt want him to wake up.

As I moved back to the kitchen I noticed the king eyeing me. I started ro get scared for a bit. Then he spoke.

"You know, its been a whike since he has had a good rest like that. And a while since a woman actually loved him for him," he said. My mouth went open and i looked over at him still cuddling his pillow.

"Really?" I asked.

The king nodded. He moved towards a chir and sat down. He pushed one over so I could sit and listen. So i sat.

"Women have always been attracted to us,royals. Weather it was because of our looks or money,or even our status,we never know until it is too late. Thankfully, i found my mate,the queen may she rest in peace, before I did something stupid. Honestly my dear I thought you where like the others. Then I saw that you werent all over him and you cared. Then I knew. You do love him,you care for him. He hasnt seen that much love since his mother," he paused.

I caught another glance over at Daniel. He shifted positions and dropped the pillow. I heard someone shift and looked over to the king to see him standing and going to the door.

"I must be on my way. I still have a lot to do as the Werewolf King before my son takes over. And you become his Luna,my dear. Thank you for the meal," he said and walked out. I nodded and smiled. I looked over and walked towards the couch.

He was still asleep. It was getting dark so a I decided to take a shower. I got some soup on me.

Come on,nobody is a neat eater.i made my way up the stair case towards the bathroom. As i turned on the water and stepped in,I thought about what the king said, and he was right. I did love him and care for him. But i also thought that my past may be a burdan on the throne and his family.

Daniel POV:
I woke up. That sleep felt good. But i think i over slept. It was dark outside,and i couldnt find light.

I stood up and wobbled to the door. As I flipped the light switch i saw it was 8:30. I really over slept,but it did feel good to get some shut eye.

I looked around for Katie and my father. But couldnt find them. I started to go into panic mode.

'Find her' my wolf begged. I glanced around and listened to hear if there was anything. Nothing except a coupke droplets of water. It was raining out side.

I then ran up stairs and looked all around. No sign or scent of her. Or Dad.
'Find her,please,' he begged. There was nothing I could do. I cant find her here. She must have been taken along with dad. No its most likely he left. But she could have been kidnapped,and I was asleep.

I placed my head in my hands and sat down on her bed. I let tears form and start to trickle. I let this happen, some mate I am. I then heard the door open and I looked up and rhere she was. In a robe,with a towel in her hand trying to get water out of her damp hair.

She looked at me and had the worry expression on her face. "Whats wrong," she asked. I just sat there and wouldnt answer her. She walked over towards me and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Why dont you take a shower and get all cleaned up and refreshed?"she said. It was weird for her to say that. But she was right. So I got up and went to go shower letting alk my troubles go down the drain.

When I came back,I saw a pair of underwear and sweatpants on the bed. The boxers where mine but I dont know where the sweatpants came from.

"They where a christmas gift for my father," i heard a voice behind me say. I looked over and saw katie all dressed and still towel drying her hair. She had a long sleeved shirt on and fuzzy pajama shorts on.

"Since he wont use them,i thought maybe you would. At least for tonight,"she said I nodded my head and watched her walk away towards her dresser and pich up a brush. I changed and walked over to see her placing her wet hair in a french braid.

I sneaked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her. She seemed shocked at first,then she relaxed and backed into me.

I smiled and buried my nose in her neck. I then placed little kisses on the spot where I would mark her,if she would let me.

I held her close. She then cupped my face and placed a sweet kiss on it. After she moved towards the bed and got under the covers. I followed abd went behind her,wrapping my arms around her waist. It felt like a dream.

But was I glad it wasnt. She fell aslepp instantly, while I just held her. I smiled then layed my head next to her enjoying holding her close.
