Chapter 6: A Royal Visit

Moriko

It's been two months since I've moved into the pride's home with Ryuu. I have grown even closer to him during that time and I may or may not have started to develop strong feelings for him. Even though I don't know everything about him, I'm happy I got him as a mate. Having him as a mate didn't mean that as soon as I saw him I was a lovestruck fool. The mate bond didn't work like that, for all Shifters, when we eventually found our mates our animal would identify them. They wouldn't suddenly force us to fully 'mate' with the person. They would actually be more cautious than us, not wanting their human to get hurt physically or mentally. There would still be the sparks between the people, but no force in having to always be with the other person. All that would come after being marked and fully mated. The second step in the mating process is to accept with your heart that the other person is your mate and life long partner.

The couple would then go forth with the last step in the mating process which was the marking. The couple would mark each other with a simple bite on the neck, with that they are able to communicate using telepathy, sense each other's emotions and have an urge to be with each other. Fully mating with your partner is just an added bonus to the mating process which just intensifies the need to be with your mate and the connection between the two.

It feels strange being surrounded by loads of people again and it'll take quite a bit of time before I get used to it. Sitting on our bed I clutched my blood red velvet cape to my chest it used to be Tatsuya's but he gave it to me on our fourteenth birthday, the day I first shifted in to my pure white wolf. Not all Shifters shift at the age of sixteen sometimes the age can be lower at five of maybe even three years old. The cape still smelt like Tatsuya, his cinnamon and orange smell that I missed so much. It's a good thing I kept it with me when I left. My vision went blurry as tears threatened to spill. I took a deep breath and exhaled, hopefully he was okay as well as everyone else in my old pack.

The days were getting shorter, so when I looked out the window I could see the sun was starting to set and there was nothing for me to do. I was about to get up when the door suddenly burst open. I jumped with the cape held tightly in my hands. Ryuu walked in and I let out a sigh of relief and he chuckled. He sat down on the bed and pulled me on to his lap. I laughed as he wrapped his arms around my waist, buried his face in my neck and inhaled before saying,

"Tomorrow a royal pack is going to come over to discuss an issue with us."

"Okay. I'm bored, the apartment is clean and there's nothing for me to do, I've already gone through my daily routine twice as well."

"Hmm." He thought for a second then said.

"How about we go out for the night, I know a really nice place where we can go."

"Okay, what time shall we leave." I inquired.

"How about we leave at 5." He moved his face so that he could look at me and I nodded a yes.

I looked over at the clock to check the time, it was 4:30 which meant I had half an hour to get ready before we would leave and I had no idea what to wear. I was so used to tops and trousers; I had never really bothered with dresses or skirts. I wasn't exactly a tomboy as I didn't throw a fit if I had to wear a dress, I just found it more convenient to wear clothes that I felt comfortable in. It's not my fault I looked unattractive in the clothes I wore. I groaned inwardly, What was I going to wear?

I got up off Ryuu's lap and pushed him out the bedroom telling him I had to get ready,

"Ok, I'll wait for you in the game room." He nuzzled his nose against mine in an affectionate manner and pecked me on the lips before leaving.
