I wake up to the light of the sun shining through the curtains of my room. I sit up and stretch my back, then go into my bathroom. I walk in with a sigh as I see the two sinks for my mate and me. The tile, walls, counter, tub, it's all marble. The linen closet is has a white door and a gold doorknob; all the accents in the bathroom, including the faucets, are in gold. What the side against the shower and scrub all the night's sweat off. Today is the Winter Ball, but because I am King, I'm wearing a blue and gold suit jacket, white under a button-up shirt, and black pants with black shoes; I finish getting ready then walk out of my room. I head towards the throne room and spot my Delta; Nikita wearing an off the shoulder, sweetheart neckline ball gown; the color matches my suit jacket with the same gold designs laced into her dress. 'I really don't want to marry her next week, 'I want my mate, but since I am almost of age, I must unless I find her tonight.'

I walk to the throne room with her as she talks excitedly about tonight and next week. 'All she cares about are parties and beauty, she won't make a good Luna, but the council chose her, leaving my hands tied.'

I oversee the decorations for the rest of the day, helping with what I can. 'Even though I'm King, I like to help my people. My father always told me that it's the people that make a change, not the other way around.' As I walk back to my room, I tell the guards to allow the guests into the palace.

I style my hair back into my signature do and put on my gold crown covered in white as snow diamonds but has beautiful big royal blue sapphires as accents all around.

I walk with my Delta arm in arm as we enter the throne room through the side door; I sit on my throne. What my Delta does makes me furious; she goes to sit on the throne next to mine, causing me to growl, stopping her actions.

"You're not Queen yet; remember your place." she lets out a loud sigh causing the people around me to stare. This aggravates me even more. I know what she is trying to pull, but it's not working on me. Not wanting to cause a bigger scene, I let it slide this time. Turning my attention back to the people in the ballroom.

I am suddenly struck with an overwhelming scent. The scent I smell is magnificent; winter and freshly printed books. 'My mate, she's here, finally after all this time.' I stand, sniffing the air trying to pinpoint her exact location, so I don't make a fool of myself looking around, but that ends when I growl, losing control of my wolf for a second. 'He isn't happy that she's not next to me I need to do this quickly.' I make eye contact with the only one that wasn't bowing, and I smile. I drown in her chocolate eyes then look over her. Her body is perfect, and the dress she's wearing is perfect for her. Her brown hair looks as soft as chocolate clouds. Her soft features lure me in. I take a step towards her, and the look of fear covers her face making me confused. I go to take another one, but she quickly grabs another male and female, probably her parents, and quickly leaves.'No, she's trying to leave; why? Did she not sense me too?!'

"Guards! Close the gates; my mate is trying to leave!" I quickly go through the doors and out of my palace's grand doors to see her limo speeding away. 'No! She is gone!' My wolf whimpers as I share his pain. Then I smell it. Something nearby has her scent. I look around and find a small vine hairpiece with hair in it. 'This was in her hair.'

I hold it close. "Don't let the guests leave; someone must know who she is." I walk up the stairs in start of the search for answers and my mate.
