Ezra's Miracle

Chapter 2

"So how are you taking to your new guards?" My brother, Lachlan asks.

    "Good, I guess. I still don't understand why I need 4 of them thought," I tell him honestly. 4 seems a little obsessive.

    "You'll get use to it, oh by the way, Father wants to see you before dinner."

    "Ugh, what does he want now!" I sigh. Better go find out.

    I take the long way to his office, this time. It gives me more time to gather my thoughts. But taking the long way, means going pass the training rooms where my mate is. Not that, that is a bad thing. He's sweet scent lingers in the hallway. I inhale deeply.

    "Hello Princess!" A man says. I turn around and find one of my personal guards.

    "Hi, um..." I trail off.

    "Oh! Sorry, my name is Peter!" He says quickly.

    "Hi Peter, how is your training going?" I ask politely.

    "It's good! I'm very glad to be here," He says with a smile. I smile back at him.

    "Good, I'm glad. Well see you later, Peter!" He waves to me as I leave.

    I make it to my Dad's office less than 2 minutes later, and my mate's scent just kept getting stronger and stronger the closer I got to the office. I hear voice coming from inside.

    I knock on the door, and wait for my Father to tell me to come in, which he does quickly.

    I open the door to see my Father sitting at his desk, talking to my mate. My eyes go wide.

    "Ahh, come here Princess." My father waves his hand toward me. I walk over, and sit on his knee. He puts a hand on my back, in a loving way.

    "This is Ezra Blackwood. The one that you so rudely spoke to earlier." My Father says, holding his hand towards my mate.

I smile and nod. "Yes, I remember."

"Ezra and I were just having a talk. He wishes to have a different position instead of one of your personal guards," My Father explains to me. I frown.

"And why is that?" I ask my mate. "Do you realize that you've been given one of the biggest and most important opportunity of your life, and you just want to give it up?" I ask him, angrily. What's all this about? Am I not good enough for him!?
    "Yes, please answer my daughter's question."

"Well, Sir. I believe that your daughter would be more of a distraction to me than anything else. I don't want to be distracted when her safety is on the line," Ezra says.  

"And how so would she be a distraction?"

"Well Sir," Ezra begins but bits his lip. His god damn sexy lip. "Your daughter is my mate."

I'm shocked. I didn't expect this to happen. I haven't even had a private moment with my mate yet. I didn't know we were telling the world yet.

My Father is taking aback for sure. He wasn't expecting this either.

"Is this true?" he asks me.

I turn and look at him, nodding my head. "Yes, he's my mate."

His shocked face turned into a smile. "This is great!" He says and gives me a hug. He jumps up and walks towards a shocked looking Ezra. "Give me a hug, son."

I watch as the King wraps his arms around my mate. They pull back, and my Father grabs Ezra's collar. "If you ever hurt her, I'll have your head above my mantle as decoration."

Unexpectedly, Ezra doesn't back down. He gives my Dad a serious face. "I would never intentionally hurt your daughter."

"You're a good man," My Father comments before letting go of him and sitting back down in his chair. "Here's what I'll do. I need a lead guard, who's in charge of all the guards assigned to Nala. Do you think you could do it?"

Ezra nods. "Yes, I am willing to take on the new task."

"Good. Now, go on Nala. Spend some time with your mate," My Father directs.

I nod my head, and reach my hand out to my mate. He takes it, and I gasp a little bit. I'm not use to the shocks yet.

Erza and my Father chuckle.

Erza follows me out of my Father's office, and as soon as we close the door he grabs my waist. I yelp.

Ezra wraps his arms around me, and my arms automatically go around his neck. I inhale his addicting scent. He puts his head in the crook of my neck, and plants a kiss.

"I've waited so long for you, Nala! I'll cherish you until the day I die." He vows.

I put my head on his forehead. "I can say the same."

We stay like this for a minute, until I pull away. "Come on, let's go talk somewhere."
