Freedom from Paradise

Zeke's point of view

I can't believe it. I travel all over the world and can't find my mate. I stop at some snobby princess's birthday party and I find her. My wolf smelt raspberries and white chocolate. He started purring. I wait to finally make eye contact with her to figure out who she was but I couldn't find her. After an hour of waiting around like a bum I started mingling. I met snob after snob. I saw the king an old friend of my father and nodded my head. His voice had boomed as he called me over and introduced my to princess-

"Mate" my wolf growled as we made eye contact. She was perfect her hair was dark brown almost black and her eyes were soft, kind yet ready to jump into battle in a seconds notice.

The King noticed the spark and left. He new my secret, but she didn't. Now I had to tell her. We spoke and I grabbed her hand. MISTAKE!!! Sparks flew through my body and my wolf tried to take control. Tara was starting to notice. She touched my arm and looked concerned. I questioned her and she removed her hand from my body, but grabbed her and this time enjoyed the Sparks. We continued walking and talking for hours. I know I need to tell her my secret, but she could reject me. I am an Alpha. I deserve respect. I can't run a pack or multiple packs as a lone wolf. The Alpha of Alphas, King of Kings, the best of the best. That was all me. My dad's great-great-great-great-great grandpa was the first wolf. Created to destroy vampires. He led a strict pack that turned into many packs. Now they are all mine. I will reign until I have a son that is ready to take over.

My princess has long since gone to bed and I was invited to stay in the Palace so I'm wandering the guest quarters. I need my mate. I have to have her. My mind slowly wanders to her. How is she sleeping? What does she look like with bed head? Would I get to sleep in the same bed as her ever? Would we ever have pups? Without realizing it, I had wandered into the Royal families quarters. I was about to turn around when I saw the King. I spoke," King Matthew, I apologize for being here, but I have a proposition for you."

" Yes Zeke?"

" Well sir, you daughter is my mate. I need her and you know it so I thought we could-"

" Does she know what you are?"

" Um, no. I didn't think a ballroom with nosy ladies was the best place to tell her. I do want to, however! I was thinking, maybe you could send her to live in with me for a couple of months. We could travel in the way home and she could she different cultures. She would be treated with the upmost respect and care. I would personally see to her well being. "

" Zeke that is a horrible idea"

"Why" I growled.

" Because she lives in a paradise. She would never leave home. Ever. She loves it her. "

" Well she would love it at Paw Print Palace as well."

"Would she be able to take her horse? Bentley. "

"Her what?"

"Her horse. She hasn't gone a day in four years without visiting that horse of hers. Rain or shine. Sick or healthy. Busy or bored. She makes time for that horse. "

" Yes! We could most definitely take the horse. I have dozens of others. I could build her a brand new stable if she likes. Buy her the best horses in the world. She is coming to Paw Print Palace. "

" I don't see the point in trying to reason with a testy Alpha, so you see if you can get her to leave this Paradise."
He gestured to everything around him.

" Alright, Matthew! Challenge excepted!"

I made my way back to my quarters, but I would not sleep. How could I? My mate was clear across the Palace.
