The King's Special Mate

Chapter 8

**Paul**

I led my mate happily out of the plane and into the limo waiting for us. My parents thought it only right to accept her with the upmost honor so allowed us to use the King's limo.

When she got in and saw the chocolate fountain(my mom's weakness), she squealed and grabbed a strawberry then proceeded to lather it in chocolate. With a silly grin she took a huge bite nearly eating it all in one causing me to laugh. My mate is so cute!

I laughed as she grabbed another one. After this bite she had chocolate on her lips. I motioned to tell her but instead she leaned forward and gave me a big kiss on the lips getting chocolate all over mine.

I glared at her playfully and she pouted. Leaning forward she proceeded to lick every last drop of chocolate off causing my wolf to go crazy. Damn this mate of mine was going to be the death of me! At least i didnt have to wait much longer!

I would make it special for her though. I already had it all planned out!

The palace was everything you thought a palace would be. Huge stone walls, large glass windows, richly decorated tapestries and photos, marble floors and thick, thick carpet. It was rather daunting but my wolf howled inside. She was home.

The first thing we had to do was meet the King and Queen, then go to our rooms and make sure everythings in order, and finally have dinner with the Royal family.

Paul led Jake and I through the palace till we got to two very large doors with a footman outside. He waved us in with no facial expression.

It was an office larger than my bedroom back home with a huge desk dominating thefloor with two couches on either side and chairs. I couldnt look at anything else seeing as the King and Queen were standin there smiling at us.

As Paul introduced us i swept down into a curtsey so deep i nearly sat down before i rose again rather gracefully if i do say so myself. The King nodded his approval and the Queen smiled.

When the introductions were done and everyone had bowed, except the King and Queen of course, we were allowed to sit down.

In a deep voice very like Paul's the King said, "i'm glad to finally meet my son's mate. We have waited a long time and you arrived just in time."

"Thank you my King, i'm honored to be here and i've waited a long time for your son. To be honest i got impatient and set out on my own to find him," i said smiling. Paul put his arm around my waist and squeezed letting me know i was doing well.

The King laughed and the Queen hid a giggle. "Luna chose your mate well Paul," the King said with a smile. "You don't even know the half of it," Paul said with a knowing smile.

"Well would you mind filling us in," the Queen said with a confused smile. I looked to Paul and he nodded. I stood up and walked away from everyone and furniture.

I spread my hands out and allowed fire to play around my body. It swirled and flamed around my body in a playful dance lifting my hair.

I let it have it's fun before i called it back. I walked back over to the couch and sat down next to Paul who shifted a little. I looked to him and he said with a smirk, "after playing with fire you're rather warm to the touch." My cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

The King and Queen were looking at me with shock. "Paul please explain how your mate can control fire like it's her best friend," the King said in a slighty strained voice.

I let Paul take over and tuned them out. My wolf was wanting to speak with me.

'What is it?' 'When will we get to fight with the other females. I'm ready to take my rightful place in my home.'

'I'm not sure but i'll ask if you want me to?' 'Yes please ask as soon as you can! My fur is standing on end! Oh and scoot a little closer to our mate would you.'

I did as she said and leaned in closer to Paul resting my head in the crook of his neck. I couldnt see him smile but i felt his arm tighten around me and his head leaned over slightly to lay on mine. I smiled happily as my wolf purred in satisfaction. 'Theres my girl!'

When there was a brake in the conversation i said hesitanty, "I dont want to seem rude seeing as i just got here, but my wolf is eating at me to ask. When do i get to fight the other females and prove i'm right for this and that this is my mate and my home?"

The King beamed a huge smile at me, "you will be presented to all as our princess in three days. I am glad you feel this is your home. It's a good sign." The Queen gave me a big smile.

I yawned slightly suddenly feeling very tired. I closed my eyes and was soon sound asleep against my mate.

**Paul**

"It was a long ride and she's still recovering from her long cross country journey." I said noticing Jake was nodding off too. "Take her up to your room. We like her. She'll make a good princess and a great Queen." I nodded at my fathers approval before i stood up and picked my mate up.

My heart swelled when she snuggled into me and grabbed my shirt gently with one hand. I gave my mom a goofy smile and she winked at me.

Jake followed behind us rubbing at his eyes. I showed him to his room which was one down from us. He went in giving me a wave and i shook my head at him.

I carried my mate into our bedroom and laid her on the bed. I slipped her dress off biting my lip at her choice of underwear before i slipped one of my shirts over her loving the look o her in my clothes.

I slipped her under the covers letting her take a peaceful nap before i set about preparing for her special night
