{ N A T H A N I E L  POV }

Ophelia, my beautiful mate...I miss her.

I know I'm avoiding her since few days, it's because I need time. I need time to think about how I'm going to reveal all my secrets to her, to think of ways to protect my kingdom and more importantly I need time to think how I'm going to save my woman from myself. There are many things which I can't reveal yet, I know I'm being a dick and hurting her feelings but this is the only way I can think of right now.

Three days ago when Rosalie told me that she found a way to break my spell from that heritage book, I was so happy that finally I'll be able to turn into my lycan, become alpha, mark my mate and kill Dominic. But all these plans fell apart when she told me what all was needed to be done for the spell to be broken.

I would have done it already if it hadn't involved my mate getting hurt. Damn it! If it involved Ophelia getting injured then I don't mind being in my human form all my life and fighting against Dominic in this form. So for now all I can do is wait for Rosalie to find some other way. I had told Rosalie to keep this from Ophelia for now, I hope she has kept her promise.

I never really told Ophelia everything about me, about my family, about the past of the royal pack...afraid that I'll scare her, afraid that she will leave me or even if she stays because of the bond what if she doesn't love me the same way she does now.
I am such a selfish man, aren't I?

Trust me I had made up my mind to tell her everything several times but I just can't seem to say it.

I can't think of anything else when she is in front of me and all I think is how much I want to run my fingers through her soft brown hair flowing down her back, to touch her creamy white and flawless skin and get lost in her beautiful hazel eyes.

And those full pink lips...oh sweet heaven!

I remember how her lips are always soft like flower petals against mine, how her lips move perfectly with my own and the way she tastes.. is heaven, so addictive!
How can I concentrate on my work when she stands like a beautiful angel in front of me?

Though she is delicate but she is equally strong too. I saw how she won the match against Cadence. It took all my willpower to not go to her when she was getting bitten by Cadence's wolf. I was shaking with anger and that day I had clearly felt him, my lycan. He was not afraid to break the spell and set free just to save his mate even if it would have cost his life, still he tried to do that without my permission which was fucking painful. I didn't want my pack members to worry about me, not even my princess so I had to leave. After I had taken Cadence to her room, I collapsed in the hallway because of the pain from the spell, little did my mate know that she fainted not only because of her injuries but also because she could feel my pain through the bond we shared, no matter however weak it was right now since I was half human, half lycan.

Nonetheless I was so proud to see her win the match in her human form. She showed everyone to not solely depend on wolf abilities but to fight with your human strength. I was proud to see how my pack members looked at her with respect and awe and the fact that she was going to be the perfect luna of my pack.

My members didn't know yet that she was a white wolf too, their jaws would have literally hit the ground with suprise. A white wolf was so rare, they were equally powerful to that of an alpha no matter what rank they held and on top of that so beautiful that they caught attention of every man alive. I feel irritated when I see men watching my mate like a piece of cake. I would crush them if they ever come near her but I'm sure my beautiful spitfire can handle such people very easily because she is a strong woman.
