Reigns POV

I wake up to the sound of a shower running. The events that i have recently experienced play on my mind. Cayden is the first thought that crosses my mind. The gorgeous man who also happens to be my mate. Gorgeous as he is i cannot distract myself from him being a wolf. A mutt. 

i heard the door which lead to the bathroom open. Out emerged Cayden who had a towel wrapped dangerously low around his waist. Abs. All i could think about were those god sculpted abs. Don't get me wrong i'm not exactly a virgin but this is by far the most glorious body i had ever seen. 

'Reign, can you hear me?' I heard Cayden say in the distance. Oh shoot i was staring at him. My cheeks began to flush as i looked at his eyes.

'I asked if I woke you up' He said chuckling.

'No, no...no. You didn't 'I say far to quickly.

He just carried on laughing as i walked into the bathroom. Stupid me. I glance down at the ring and glide my hand over it. It was a beautiful ring. It hid my scent as well, witches were known for having a very distinct scent. Thats what got so many of them caught when witches almost went extinct. 

So far Cayden didn't seem like a wolf in the ways i had been told about them. But i knew looks could deceive. My mind drifted to Kai. Kai my former best friend. Partner in crime if you say so. He had taught me how to control my powers after i had struggled after my parents death. I ha started tearing things down unintentionally, accidentally destroying things. 

I glanced at myself in the bathroom mirror. My hair was messy and there were pillow lines down the side of my face. An unopened toothbrush lay on the sink counter. I decided to shower quickly. In about 15 minutes i had washed my hair and body. I stepped out of the shower only to reveal I only had my pjs, shit. Wrapping a towel around me i walked into the bedroom to reveal Cayden sprawled across the bed. A heard a low growl emerge from him.

I walk into the closet where i had placed my stuff avoiding eye contact knowing i would heat up like a tomato. Choosing what to wear was stressful to say the least. I decided on a simple white dress that ended just above my knee. I dint know what else to wear. I didnt want to seem too casual infornt of royalty but i also didn't want to dress up really fancy.

Cayden smiles at me as i walk out. He takes my hand and his finger brushes over my ring. 

'Who gave you this? It's beautiful' He said looking at the ring

'My mother' I lie to him

'Your parents, You have not spoken of them. Do you miss them.' He says as we walk down the stairs. I sigh not knowing what to say. I decide to tell him the truth. Kind of.

' I miss them alot I won't lie to you' I say sadly.

'What were they like. You don't have to tell me if it makes you upset' He probably notice the tone in my voice.

'No it's fine. They were wonderful. They best parents you could ask for. I was an only child. My mother had trouble conceiving so when they had me, they spoiled me. I always wanted a sibling but my parents could not have another child. My mother was beautiful she had long red hair and my eyes. She was kind and my whole village loved her. My father had my brown hair, he worked for the family as my mother cared for me. One day it all changed, my mother caught a disease she started coughing blood and couldn't leave her bed. I was 8 at the time. My father began drinking more and coming home later. He was sad. He loved my mother more than anything else in the world. The doctors could do nothing and my mother began to wither away like a dying rose. Her beautiful red hair became thin and dull and her eyes where always bloodshot. 

My father was not coping well. I barley saw him anymore. He spent the majority of the days locked in his room. I could hear him breaking things and occasionally crying. I cried a lot as well all i wanted was my family back . 2 years later they left. Poof. They vanished in the night when i was 10. Without a single trace leaving behind their only child. No note. Nothing. So i lived in a children home until i reached 18 when i studied law and then i came out here for my first big job. And then i met you. Thats where my story ends for now' Everything i said was true. Well except for the village part. We lived in the Underworld. 

Cayden looked at my with sad eyes as a single tear rolled down my face. I felt so safe telling him about my parents. 

'Tell me about you' I said as we sat down on a sofa.

'Well, I was born as the second child of Queen Henrietta and King James of the Lycan Kingdom. I had a brother who was 3 years older then me called Caleb. My sister Arabella was born 2 years after me. and then 3 years after her my brother Theodore or Theo. at this time I was 5 and Caleb was 8, Bella was only 3. When Theo was a newborn my parents spent alot of their attention on him as he was severely premature and we didn't know if he would make it. Me ,Caleb and Bella were having dinner in our dining room with our nurse, Caleb began choking and collapsed on the floor. I remember it so clearly. The doctors came and told us he had been poisoned. The poison was too much fro his body and he died the same night. It left my parents devastated especially my mother. She blamed herself. We eventually found out it was a rebel  group who hated the crown. They were all tortured and executed.

That left me next in line fro the throne. I dint want it , i felt a thought i was replacing Caleb but my parents convinced me that it was what he would of wanted. Of course we had to keep the poisoning secret and we told the public that he died peacefully in his sleep.  4 years later my mother fell pregnant again, it was a girl this was the first time we had felt any joy in the kingdom for a long time. My parents were going to name her Isobel, the day came that my mother went into labour and it revealed that Isobel was a stillborn. This broke my mother. She lost 2 of her children, my mother slipped into a pit of depression. And she became addicted to sleeping pills. She dies of an accidental overdose soon after.

My father remarried a  woman called Meridith and they had another child. Athena who is 10 at the moment. Alothough i love Athena I hate that bitch my father married. She uses my father for his money

Due to Calebs death my family rarely let any of the royal children out of the the castle and neither did the nobles who lived in the castle. We were all schooled in the castle and that is were i met my closet friends Micheal and Jacob. A few days ago i was crowned king and that is my story. ' I looked at Cayden. I didn't realise how much heartache the royal family had been through. I heard about the death of Prince Caleb but not the baby Isobel.

'Cayden-' He cut me off.

'Don't say you are sorry. You aren't the reason they are dead' He smiled.

I took Caydens face in my hands and i Kissed him. He seemed shocked at first but kissed me back. I dint know what else to do.

This chapter is quite sad but they kissed. I'm sorry the plot isn't moving very fast just please, please, please give the book a chance i promise it will i just needed to introduce the characters.
