TERRENCES POV

We ran with Tad until my wolf was beyond tired. I knew that if we returned to Princess and my wolf had the strength he would want to mate and truth was I wanted it just as much.

Trouble was we made a Royal Promise when we found out that Princess was ours and to break a Royal Promise was instant death. Sadly if I died so would Princes. The thought that I might cause any harm to my baby girl was just unthinkable. I would do anything to protect and give Princess what she needs.

I wanted to get Princess when her mother and father were killed but Princess felt responsible for her brother and Tina. Yes I knew that Tina was her adopted sister.

She felt that she couldn't leave them. If I went and got her I would have brought her back to my pack.

I was 20 at the time and had just entered Medical School. She was 16 and had just entered her freshman year of college. Yes she graduate high school at 16 and started college.

Had I taken her then I am pretty sure that James would not have survived his grief intact. Now that I know Tina I think that Tom would have found her so she would have but not James.

I want my mate now but we have to wait. I want to get to know her better. I am sure you are saying but how much more can you know her? Its true we have lived inside each other's heads all her life but although we know what makes each other tick we haven't had physical contact so we don't know the little things like what the other's favorite food is.

I just want to take a little time.

I don't want to rush her.

She has left her pack and all that she knows for the first time and is starting Medical School.

I know that we can't wait long before mating now that we know because her heat should hit in about 2 weeks but that should give us a little time to get better acquainted.

So here I am running with my brother trying to calm and make my wolf too tired to get out of hand.

Tad and I talked like we have never talked before. Up until now I haven't been free to talk about Princess. So I tell him all the things I have wanted to for years.

Tad and I have always been closer than Tom and I. Of course Tom had the whole I better because I am the future Alpha thing going.

Sure I know I am mated to a royal and I could have been stuck on myself because of that but then again no one other that Aunt Jane knew that.

Aunt Jane taught me that being mated to Princess meant that I must remain humble and observant. She told me to never try to gain the limelight if I wanted to know the truth about things. So I became the brother who put others in front me.

I knew that I could and did bet my brothers in just about everything however I would never make them look bad. Most of the time I would make things end in a tie.

Tom would always make out like he won or would have if time hadn't been called. It was fine with me. I knew things that they didn't.

Dad knew that I didn't have the regular Alpha markings but he also knew that I was more than just an alpha. The fact that I didn't carry the pack mark, I think, always confused him. He once told me that he knew I had a special mate who must be the daughter of an alpha pair.

My brother, Tom, never realized I was receiving the same alpha training that he was. Then again he was a little too stuck on himself.

Talking with Tad I now know that he had noticed all the things I underplayed. He told me he always wondered why I was passed for the alpha but now he knows.
