He's just pure evil, known for his ruthless attitude and merciless ways. He has killed men and watched them suffer, but he found the one who he calls a mate but what happens when his mate challenges his every move and questions each decision made...

Harper P.O.V
I don't think I had stopped crying since I was shown my room. They asked if I wanted to be close to the king, I just laughed and asked for the one furthest from him. So that is why I'm sitting in what is the south wing on a massive king size bed in an even bigger room. According to the maids, its was relatively small in comparisons to the other rooms in the palace. Even if it was the smallest room it was still the most beautiful room I had ever seen.
The bed sat pressed against a wall and was decorated with comfortable white sheets and feather filled pillows. At the side of the room was a massive walk in wardrobe where my clothes had been put away, next was my own bathroom that was an equal size to the bedroom and was stunning.It was a bittersweet moment, I wanted to enjoy the room that I would be staying in but the reason for was I was sitting in this room was not a pleasant thought.
I flung my feet off the side of the bed and jumped the small space between the floor and the height of the bed. my bare feet met with the fluffy carpet, I pushed my weight up from the bed and walked over to the bathroom to go and bathe. I was drained from crying and a headache was starting to form. I walked into the bathroom and turned on the hot tap fully and let the cold water tap trickle into the hot water. I looked around the bath edges and near the shower looking for a form of bubble bath. I walked over to the cupboard under the bassinet to find if there was any bubble bath.
I found it on the first shelf in a glass round bottle with a cork in the top. Taking our the cork and placing it on the side next to the sink and poured it into the bath and watched as the bubbles began to form. I stripped out of my jeans and top and placed my jacket on the hook behind the door. Even though I knew I wouldn't be interrupted, I flicked the lock on the door before stepping into bath placing my feet in one by one, the hot water taking over my skin. I sat down and turned both taps off before sinking into the big bath tub letting the water come up to my neck. I closed my eyes letting the bubbles and the heated water soothe my body and aching muscles. I slipped further into the tub so my head was underwater.
After a long time soaking and relaxing in the bath, I finally stepped out of the bath and grabbed one of the cream towels and wrapped it around my body, draining the bath tub before leaving the room. I walked into the wardrobe and grabbed a set of silk grey pyjamas before going back into the main section of the room and changing and drying my hair with the hair dryer that I found in one of the many compartments of this room. Once I had finished, I grabbed one of the books from where I placed them in a draw earlier and jumped back onto the bed and snuggling down into the sheets.
I was about the third chapter in my eyes beginning to drift close with sleep taking over, as I was about to fall completely into a slumber a knock vibrated through room alerting me and forcing to wake up. My face creased slightly and glanced at the clock on the bedside table reading that the time was the early hour in the morning. With regret, I got out of bed going to see who was knocking at my door at this hour.
Opening the door I saw no one was there but before I was about to go back inside, I saw a bouquet of flowers lying on the floor outside. I picked them up looking around to see if anyone was lingering in the corridor, I smelled the air and picked up the most intoxicating scent and I knew straight away who they were from. I pressed my nose against the flowers smelling and they smelt beautiful they were also peonies which were my favourite which made my heart swell slightly. I noticed the envelope in the flowers, I took it out of the bouquet before smelling it one last time and throwing it on the floor. It would take more than flowers to win me over.
I closed the door and made it back over to my bed the note in my left-hand nerves washed over me suddenly, the note weighed a tonne in my hand and I felt like the world was pressing down on my shoulder. I walked over to the bed and climbed on the covers crossing my legs before opening the envelope. I took the piece of paper out and unfolded the note and took a breath before reading what the King had to say.
Dear Harper,
I apologise, I know flowers and a note won't make up for anything but I want to say sorry for the way I treated you today and the things that I said about your family. I would of never of done it knowing that it would hurt you I just want you to know that. I shouldn't have spoken to you the way I did and I shouldn't have slept with the girls I did when I knew that you were my mate, I regret that. I should have waited. I know this won't make up for anything, but I hope it's a start to moving forward and you can give me a chance as your mate.Again I apologise for everything and I am truly from the bottom of my heart sorry.
Love

Reading the note made my heart beat faster and a small smile spread across my face. I shouldn't have let the note effect me like it did, but I only had the mate pull to blame. with no thought taken, I got off the bed and walked to the door and collected the flowers that were still sat outside. I closed the with my bum and rested my back against the door and pressed the flowers against my nose, a small smile still sat on my lips.
I looked at the bedside stand and noticed there was no vase in the room. Placing the flowers on of the seat, I sat down on the sofa at the end of my bed and mind linked my brother Noah. The apology from the king put me in an apologetic mood and Noah did deserve an apology for the way I spoke to him.
"Noah?" within seconds he had replied.
"Harper thank god, I have been so worried, I thought you hated me. I'm so sorry I should have told you." I smiled at his quick reply and apology.
"I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have exploded like that earlier, it's in the past, we can't change it now. Are you in the castle?"
"Yeah, want me to pop by."
I gave him the room I was in and told him to bring a vase, he questioned why but I just said he would see when he got here. 5 minutes later he was standing at my door, glass vase in hand. I let him and took the vase and placed in on the table them jumped into my brother's arms wrapping my arms around his shoulders into a hug. I pulled back and walked over to the bathroom grabbing the vase on the way to fill it up with water.
"So the flowers and the vase. Care to explain Harp?" I laughed and pointed to the note sat on the bed. He perched on the side and began reading the note. His eyes widened. He turned back to me, note still in hand.
"you going to forgive him, give him a chance?" He raised the note before throwing it back on the bed.
"I'm not going to forgive him, not at all." Noah sighed a frown forming on his face with disappointment.
"but I guess I could give him a chance, one chance only if he blows it, I'm gone." A smile spread across his face and so did mine.
I don't know how this was going to end, but the moon goddess paired us together for a reason. I might as well discover the reason why.

Here the chapter. I know it took longer than it normally is.
This is not the best chapter as I really struggled on this chapter for some reason so sorry if you hate it.
