After Daniel got me back and dressed me in one of his many shirts. He pulled me to him and we sat on bed with mint chocolate chip ice cream between our legs. He handed me a spoon and looked at me wearily.

"Are you sure you are alright? You look pale still Princess." Daniel asked. "I am fine goddess are you going to tell me now?" I spat over him. I am hormonal. I am angry and now my own mate is making me sad by shielding away his life story from me. How it is even fair?

"I didn't meant to upset you little one." He said brushing a stray piece of hair and tucking it behind my ear. "Tell me please Daniel." I begged. He shied and took a deep breath. "Promise me you will hear it until end before judging me Princess" He said and I nodded.

"I am not like you or any wolf. I was one of the Hybrid sons my father had created." He looked at me to see if I am listening. I am listening. "When I born it was not out of love, my mother had resented me. She had promised to sell me to the wolf who had made me. And she did without taking a second look at me."

I gasp as my hold tightened over his. He held my arm and entwined our fingers. "I was one of his many sons he bred to create an army as he wanted to take over the entire world. Being one and only who ruled the every kind. He have created half bloods. Hybrids who possesses qualities should not be possessed by any other. They were twenty four in total. Twenty four sons from twenty four women, women who he raped or forced into his cause, after all he is the king."

I keep on rubbing his back. "It happened so for some reason he was fond of me. I was trained harshly but I was rewarded handsomely too. At a moment of time I actually thought he loved me. He loved me more than my brothers" he chuckled bitterly.

"I was naïve little one. I was naïve to think that. Because that is when I became a mere slave a pawn in his games. Just a weapon perfect one as he wanted me to be from the beginning. I wanted his acceptance and I thought I had it. I was blinded by my own selfish need that I didn't saw crimes I had committed."

I looked at him wide eyed. "At moment I met Hella. She was very nice Princess. Or that is what I thought. But in reality she was something else. A part of my father's plan. We are arranged to be married. She was my mate." I was confused.

How can someone else be his mate when I am here in flesh and blood. Celine thought the same and a low growl threatened to rip out of my throat. But I controlled myself and decided to listen.

"She had this strange kind of innocence in her features you know. The kind that draws you to the person and makes you want to do anything to keep that person happy. That is what I did. I was to be Prince and I was to be rule the kingdom with Justice. But I didn't I listened to her. In Love or Lust I don't know. She always had me wrapped around her finger."

He was saying like it is some kind of bad thing but I have him wrapped around my fingers am I doing any evil thing to him? Did you saw me doing any evil thing with that?

"I became the face only while my father and she ruled from the shadows. One day I meet this nice lady as she pulled inside by guards. I was in the courts. I should have listened to her story before passing on the judgement but I was thinking hard about pleasing my mate. The kind of flowers she will like when I finally get back to her. I remembered I left in hurry in the morning leaving her in bed alone"

My heart sank he had a mate before me. He was married before me. But How can that be possible when Destiny had gone to school with him? He was her best friend. "I ordered her execution and she was not even guilty." I knew where this was going it was kind of like beauty and the beast only beast was jerk he was not.

"Her words still haunts me Princess. She said The love Thee think is true will be the most painful reality of thou, Thee walk at night in the appearance of what thee are truly inside, Thee will feel pain where should been was pleasure, Thee will roam eternity paying for your deeds"

"I didn't recognize her she was the village witch and did all she can to help people. She bought happiness in people's life not deserved to die by my hand and her words proven true. Turns out my so called mate was not my mate. It was all just an illusion. And she was always been my father's side. They had sex in the same bed we sleep into."

I found his hands clenched in fists. I kept rubbing his back. "She laughed at me and said what a fool you have been Prince Drace You though someone can love you. You are nothing but a beast, beast outside and Beast inside. No one will ever love you ever. No one will love you knowing what you are. She keep on hurling insults on me. One after another, I was so mad I didn't looked as my claws lengthen and her laughter stopped."

I dreaded where it was going I don't know if I have stomach to hear it anymore. But I keep on listening.

"There it was no witch but the bodies of my father and my mother. I slaughtered them in cold blood. And her laugh echoed through the halls of the castle saying that I am now truly become what I was inside a monster"

By this point I was hyperventilating. I know that name. It had came up in werewolf History 101 in academy. The Prince who had killed his parents the first king in cold blood. The kingdom that fell into chaos and darkness and the things he did no one should ever dare to speak of.

"So tell me princess after knowing who I am do you still think you can love me? Tell me can you Love me when my hands were tainted with blood of many?" He asked. That sentence made me assume that maybe they were not the last person who he had killed.

"It cannot be possible that should make you two thousand years old more or less. If you are Prince Drace then how come you look like ... Like..." "Like not a old and wrinkly person?" I nodded. He laughed. He just laughed. My mind is swarming with questions and he thinks I am kidding so good Mr. Mate.

"It was a part of curse which the white witch had given me. When she saw that how much I was suffering she took a pity on me. She came to me in her astral form and told me that only an act of true love will ever set me free Princess. And she said it will start when you find your mate."

I looked at him questioningly still does not show why he looks like male model from pages of Vogue. "She said I will have certain powers like power of bending time and change the way I look. I took a disguise of little boy when I entered the pack the alpha and Luna cannot had their own children so I had became the heir." He said.

"I will only age once the curse is broken at normal rate."

I nodded so he will not grow old and turn into dust once the curse is broken ah relief. "So this is why you don't wanted to mate me?" I asked.

"No not this I had mates before but whenever I tried to mate with them I accidentally..." He paused.

"What? Accidentally what?" Oh I know what he killed his mates accidentally.
