Alpha King Greyson

The Tower

I woke to feel Greyson stirring next to me. Unlike my bed, his did not have the canopy to protect my eyes from the harsh morning light. I decided to sneak out before someone came in and saw us. I slipped out of bed and saw the scraps of my nightgown on the floor. I picked it up and hunted around his room from something to throw on. His bedroom was so...bare. I couldn't see anything last night and plus we had been well, busy. It was larger than my room but less furnished. A couple dressers lined the tan walls and a rug sat in front of his large, elegant bed. 

There was a door at the back of the room. I figured it was some kind of closet but I didn't want to be nosy and barge in. I rummaged through his unkempt dresser and found a oversized shirt to wear. I stuffed what remained of my nightgown under it and slipped out to my room. 

I slid into my room were I was greeted by Gretta and Galenta. My eyes went wide. What should I say?! 

"Oh. G-good morning Greta, Galenta" I nodded at both of them.

They looked at each other and smirked. "Where have you been, your highness? And is that Alpha Greyson's shirt?" Greta folded her arms. 

"I was just out for stroll and my dress became torn. Alpha just happened to be close by and um gave me his shirt."

Greta smiled. "Oh sure. We heard--"

A loud knock sounded at my door. I turned around to answer it but before I could a half naked Greyson came barging in. 

"Fae I can't believe you just--" He stopped quickly when he noticed the maids standing in my room.

"That will be all, girls." The maids left the room giggling. Who knows what rumors they would spread about Greyson and I because it was pretty obvious what we had been doing.

"Who said you could come barging in here whenever you want?!" I hissed. 

"Since you are my mate and we need to talk about last night. Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

I sighed and paced the room. "Because I didn't want anyone to see us together but that plan did not work out well. Those girls will probably spread rumors about us now!"

"Relax. They probably already figured us out awhile ago. They wont say anything because they know what I would do. At this point most of the pack probably has at least suspected you and I have some sort of special relationship. Go get dressed and lets go for a walk. There are some things I want to talk to you about that I don't want anyone else overhearing."

"Fine. At least give me some privacy. Puh-lease." 

"Alright but hurry up I do not want to wait around all day." 

I stuck my tongue out at him as he slipped out the door.

My heart was pounding in my chest. The combination of what had happened last night and then the situation with the maids was really getting to me. Stumbling to my bed I slid down to the floor. I felt that everything happening with Greyson was a blur. It had only been 2 months since we  met at the Assembly and now here I was having late night makeout sessions with him. I know that deep down I already love him but part of me feels I'm not ready for what he wants yet. 

Tears slipped down my cheeks. Maybe I was just homesick. I hadn't even wrote to mother yet, telling her how everything was going. When Greyson and I got back I would write her a letter. I got up and combed through my closet to find a nice summery dress. A knee length yellow dress caught my eye. After I finished dressing I brushed my hair and set out. I made my way downstairs where I saw Greyson waiting for me at the main front door.

"Hurry up slowpoke. I've been waiting all day!"

"Alpha its only been 10 minutes." I made sure to address him properly in case anyone way within earshot of us. He scoffed at me and we headed around the castle the same way I had went earlier to get to the training grounds. After passing through, we entered a forested area. A small path led deeper into the woods and I hesitated.
