The blinding lights from the flashing cameras that were focused on Demetri and I stunned me momentarily causing me to freeze in my spot while some of the royal guards came and attempted to push the paparazzi back a bit.
I felt a large hand in the center of my back urging me forward. It couldn't be Demetri's hand because he was before me and my hand was in his.
I turned my head slightly to the side to see Alpha Alexander smirking at me as he gently pushed me forward.
"Just keep walking." He shouted over the questions from the paparazzi. "Ignore them."
How the fuck am I supposed to ignore them when they have mics and recorders shoved in my face?!
They were shouting questions at Demetri, Alpha Alexander, Luna Alaine and Myself.
"Prince Demetri, is this your mate?"
"Alpha Alexander are you happy with your new daughter in law?"
"Prince Demetri is it true that your mate attends Gregory Hawk Academy and is a rebel?"
"Lady Jessabell, how does it feel to be apart of one of the most prestigious families of the werewolf world?"
"Alpha Alexander, what are your plans regarding the evolution of the royal court of appeal?"
"Luna Alaine, are you supportive of your husbands decision to ban all contraceptives for were females?"
Okay, that one got me.
Did she just say ban all contraceptives?
No, no no, that definitely isn't what she said, it couldn't be.
"Lady Jessabell, now that the laws against werewolf contraceptives have been passed, how long do you think it will take for you to produce an heir?"
That threw me to the sharks, because as soon as I convinced myself that that wasn't what the lady on my left said the guy on my right solidified my ultimate doom.
My momentary distraction caused me to stumble a little but I was immediately righted by both the alpha and the Luna who were walking on either side of me shadowing me while guards shadowed them.
Pushing through the group of reporters we finally came to the three Bentley vehicles that were awaiting our arrival.
The Alpha and Luna took the first car while Demetri shoved me into the second car before he got in after me.
I looked out the back windscreen to see my parents enter the third with a big burly guard.
The other guards got in the other royal vehicles waiting in the parking lot.
Scooting as far away from Demetri as possible, I folded my arms across my chest and leant my head against the glass.
"Are you alright?" He asked reaching out to brush my arm with his fingers.
He received only a curt nod from me. I don't know what he'll do to me if I piss him off again so I kept my mouth shut.
"I know the paparazzi can be a bit scary but you'll get used to it, and you will have guards whenever you go out so you will be okay." He assured me but I didn't respond at all this time.
After a moment of silence, I finally looked over at him to see him on his phone. Feeling my eyes on him, he looked up at me and smiled, I didn't return the smile.
"Did you call them?" I asked, referring to the myriad of paparazzi outside the hospital.
"No." He said, even though he said it truthfully, something was still off about that one word response, almost like there was more to say.
