Her Survival, His Instinct

DINNER

Third party Pov

Dammit how could this have happened now, Everything is not yet ready, our plans are almost in place
and now she met her mate and to top it all of it is the Lycan Prince. Things just got alot more difficult.

I will have to report to my master, although I feel sorry for Ariel at the end of the day I am loyal to my master. This is so much bigger than me or anyone in our circle, it has been planned years in advance and there is No turning back now, master would in anycase not allow it. I need to go and do my duties I will contact my master after everyone is asleep as I can not let anyone find out what is going on . Master is not going to be happy .....

Dinner hall:

Ariel

Entering the hall I can see everyone sitting already. I can feel some tension but other than that everyone seems fine.

"Mom can you help me pack as we will be leaving on friday " I ask my mom smiling at her.
She looks up at me and I can see she is sad and worried. "Yes of course dear it will be a pleasure " she says with a smile, but I can see that something is bothering her and I make a mental note to ask her later about it.

Soon the food is being brought in and we can start to eat. As I look around the table at my family laughing and talking, I feel a bit sad I am going to miss this, I am going to miss them although i grew up secluded they are still my family. Looking at my mate, makes me happy and i cannot wait to be marked as his to be fully mated.

"Little mate"! Dimitri calls to me and I blush, because I know my mind wandered.. Yes ? i ask in confusion and everyone laughs at me..." We were just discussing the travel plans and your dad asked if you want to take your bodyguard with "?Dimitri says. "Yes ! thank you I know you have your own guards but I would feel alot better if he could come with us" I nod excitedly thinking how Jason is going to love this.

"Dad! Can I talk to you tommorrow if you have time please ?" I ask suddenly thinking about the strange feelings I have been having. "Yes, of course honey" he says smiling. As dinner comes to an end we all go to the lounge to have some coffee before we go to bed. As we all are drinking our coffee I can see that my sisters are getting fidgety, which only means they have something on their mind. " Brie, Bella do you want to ask something ?" I ask with a knowing look.

" Yes Belle speaks up , we want to know will we be able to attend the ceremony that welcomes you into the Princes pack,will we be able to visit often and how soon will we be able to visit you " She rambles asks not even taking a breath. We all look at her and start laughing.

"Yes, of course you will be there, you can visit as often as you like and as for how soon let's make it a week before the ceremony which is a month from now so that will mean you can come in three weeks : Dimitri says with a smile on his face.

"Yes !!!! both of them scream in delight earning them a scowl from mom for being so loud."
" Ok of to bed girls" mom says there is a few things we need to discuss with your sister and the Prince . They don't look happy but they say good night and leave us alone.

"Prince Demitri" mom says I need to know a few things as to prepare my daughter for her moving to your pack. If you will allow me to ask my questions all at once I would appreciate it as I do not want to get distracted or forget any small detail. "Go ahead Luna" Demitri smiles.

What is the weather like where you stay?
Is there anything Ariel needs to know about your traditions ?
Will she be allowed to roam freely in your castle and pack?
Can she continue training?
Her Ceremony will it be a closed matter or for all packs and members to attend ?
Will I be able to assist her with her ceremonial dress ?
Lastly will you treat my daughter with respect,withhold nothing from her and cherish her always?

I can just look at my mother, as I can sense she is serious and really worries about my well being,although I must wonder why the two strange questions. I can see Dimitri is giving it some thought before he replies to my mom.

"Luna Lucy " he starts , I can understand your concern and your questions is that of a concern mother so let me give you ease of mind. It is mostly sunny except for 4 months a year winter, it snows and is pretty cold. As for traditions nothing more than she is already accustomed to , but there is some stuff that the Queen will teach her.Her ceremonial dress is something you can assist her with although there is a certain criteria as to how it must look, but you can add some minor details if Ariel allows it. Ariel will be allowed to roam the pack and castle freely and train ,once I introduce her to the pack which will be the day after we arrive home, so that they know she is my mate, their future Queen and to protect her always.

I might be young, but has learned alot from my parents so she will be treated with respect by me , She is my equel and No less, I will love her and cherish her till my last breath,I will also not with hold anything from her as she is my confidant the one that's to stand by my side to help me lead my people. I hope my answers have given you peace of mind Luna Lucy?

I can only stare with pride at my mate, I can see that my mother feels more at ease with his answer and my Dad has a look on his face that is strange. "Well now that , that is settled it is time for us to retire as the week ahead will be busy," my mom says with a tired smile.

We all head to our room, with Dimitri walking me to mine. At the door he holds me close and kisses me, slow and gentle the sparks with our touch feels electrifying. When he steps back and I see his eyes I can see he is truggling to keep his wolf at bay.

" Good night Little mate" he says before waking away
"Good night my Prince" I whisper as I close my room door.......
