(Sequel to The Queen's Alpha)
"Excuse me, miss?" I say, but her reaction caused something other than finding each other. She turned around with a gasp, almost like she had been caught. My wolf started chanting "Mate, Mate, Mate" and I know she fel...

Caroline's POV
Maid Sarah had dropped me off at Alex's 'room', this was a full suite. It was like a apartment, I had never lived in a place this elegant. I wasn't sure how long it would be until Alex came back. I decided to explore the suite a little bit, it had a gallyway kitchen with a breakfast bar. Right outside the kitchen, led in to the living room, it had a sectional and flat screen tv mounted to the wall. There was door on the wall that connected the kitchen and living room, I went and opened the door. I felt a rush of Alex's scent, this was his bedroom, he had a king-sized bed with a matching dresser and nightstand. Somehow it looked like him, his bedroom looked lived in, the rest of his suite looked fake while his bedroom had pictures, clothes littered around, and an unmade bed. I walked around the bed to the French doors that lead out to a balcony. I opened the doors and walked out, a night breeze washed pass me. I leant on the rail, closed my eyes, and took a deep breath.
"Why don't you want him?" My wolf asked me.
"I do, I'm just confused, I've never wanted one and I'm not ready for this." I replied to her.
"The Moon Goddess says you are ready, so you're fine." She smirks at me.
"Oh yeah, so comforting." I groan at her.
"Hey, Caroline." I hear from behind me, I let out a loud gasp as I turn around.
"Oh, you scared me." I say, wrapping my arms around myself, the cold was finally getting to me in this thin dress.
"Come inside, you look like you're freezing." He says, holding the door open for me.
"I'm fine, I'm used to the cold." I lied, reluctantly walking back inside.
"What do you mean?" He asks, taking off his shoes.
"Oh, um, my apartment doesn't have heat so it's not that bad." I say, standing awkwardly in the middle of the room.
"How do you not have heat? It's so cold this winter." Alex asks, shocked. He turned to me, I didn't want him to feel bad for me but I couldn't help but tell him the truth.
"That's how I grew up, my parents weren't the most finically stable." I say looking down.
"Here's some clothes from my sister." He hands me a stack of clothes. "Where did you grow up?"
"I'm gonna go change.." I say, not wanting to answer his question.
"Bathroom is there, I'm sorry if I over-stepped-" But I cut him off by shutting the bathroom door. He overwhelmed my senses, his scent, his voice, his looks, I wonder what he tastes and feels like. No, Caroline, you cannot be falling for this goddamned mate bond. He's just a normal guy, but he's not, he's a prince, such a dreamy prince.
I look myself in the mirror, what was I doing?
Alex's POV
I had changed out of my suit and into a plain t shirt and basketball shorts. I was sitting on my bed waiting for Caroline to come out of the bathroom, she was taking awhile. I guess taking a full gown off took some time. My mind couldn't stop thinking of all the things we had to do, I had to tell my whole family, we had to tell hers, had to announce our relationship to the kingdom. And I had to win her heart . My wolf kept saying she wanted us but those weren't the words that came out of her mouth.
