The Alpha's Bloodline [Completed ]

Chapter 4. Drunk princess

Anthony's POV

After mind-linking Giovani to inform him about my stay here and asking him to take care of the pack, I take a quick shower, get dressed and head towards the dining room for dinner.

I know Carla will be there too since the royal family dines together. I have mixed feelings about seeing her. I'm both happy and sad at the same time.

Happy because I'll get to see her and sad because...well, everything I did to her makes me sad and then there's the fact that I'll never be able to be back with her. Also, that kiss between her and Gio from the afternoon still hurts as hell.

On my way, some servants greet me and I reply with a curt nod. When I get to the dining area, the Queen and the others are already seated. Everyone is present, except Carla.

I feel disappointment wash over me but I ignore that and take my seat at the table opposite Daniel and his wife Ariana. Ariel is seated at the head table and sitting to her right is her husband, James, and to her left is her five-year-old daughter Camilla or better known as Cami--possibly the future queen of the werewolf kingdom.

I plaster a grin to my face, "Hello, everyone."

Ariel smiles saying a 'hello' and same goes with her husband. Daniel simply smirks and nods in acknowledgement while Ariana gives me a bright smile muttering a 'hey'.

"Hey, you!" Princess Cami points her index finger at me with curious eyes, "What's your name?"

My grin widens looking at her cute little face scrunched in curiosity,  "I'm Anthony, princess."

"Nice to meet you, Anthony!" She beams, her face breaks into a huge grin showing her teeth in display.

She's such a freaking cutie.

And it brings a twinge of pain to my heart. If my child wouldnt have died, would she have been just like Cami?

No, Anthony. Don't go there.

"Nice to meet you, too, princess."

Cami giggles at that and starts picking on her food as everyone begin eating. Taking the cue, I dig into my own food while occasionally glancing the entrance hoping for a certain blondie to show up.

"Carla won't be there for dinner," Daniel announces.

I look his way and his eyes are trained on me with a knowing gaze although he's speaking to Ariel.

"We shouldn't be waiting and glancing the door repeatedly wishing for her to show-up." He continues.

I narrow my eyes at him because he's looking at me as if we're sharing a secret, throwing that wicked grin my way while his sister and the others think he's giving some sought of reference for not waiting.

I sorely regret ever saying about my feelings for Carla to him. He just won't stop bringing it up whenever he gets the chance to. I honestly think the old Daniel was better now--the one who was always cold, ignorant and arrogant.

"Why? Is she okay, Danny?" Ariana who's oblivious of her husband passing me teasing looks, quips her head to look at him with worried eyes.

"She'll be fine, sweetheart. Don't worry." He leans in to kiss her forehead at which she smiles before nodding and continuing to eat her food.

"I saw Aunt Carla at the wine cellar while coming here!" Cami shot up from her seat raising her hands with excitement,"I asked her come eat dinner with me but she said she wasn't hungry and didn't wanna eat anything. Mommy, she looked soooo funny! She was acting so tipsy and giggling so much!" The little girl covered her mouth with her hands concealing her little giggles.
