The Blonde Alpha

THIRTY SIX

Alec arrived a while later to my room. Giving me enough time to wash and changed out of this muddy nightgown.

I even stole his shirt to wear. There was nothing more comfortable then I wanted to be in right now. he enters the room a little while later.

'Are you ready to talk to me?'

"about what exactly, my dead mother, psychotic stepmother, the animosity between local and I or the fact that I am the future queen?'

I almost laughed at Luca's face, the poor guy did not even know what hit him.

'You think growing up with sisters you would be used to mood swings.'

He just smiles back showing of those pearly whites that make my heart jump.

"I found out recently that Luca had an ultimatum from Victoria, she doesn't want him to rule, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the major decision of the royal life, " I laugh, " he is willing to help.' I say sarcastically.

"The thing is I was never trained to run, who would have though both my elder brothers would not want the crown, the responsibility falls to me and I have no idea what the bloody hell to do."

I sat does on the bed cross-legged, " you sure you don't want to get warm before I carry on?' local just shrugs and tears of his soaked clothes, he walks over and sits in front of the fireplace in nothing but his shorts.

He summoned me over and I made myself comfortable in between his legs on the floor.

"If you don't want it, why don't you give it up?''

I sigh," I've never had the dream to want it, I always knew it was unattainable so I never dreamed about it until today, if I reject it I would be dropping it to the twins – they have a whole notebook of things they want to do before settling down, there is no way Xyla will complete that bucket list if I pour this on her, I'll be stealing her childhood.'

I looked up at Alec through my lashes, "this is now my responsibility, and I have to do it."

I asking him to join me in this venture sat on the tip of tongue, but we knew each other for months now and I'm still not marked. Until I know exactly what he wants I cannot ask him to be the king to my queen.

He tightened his arms around my shoulders but didn't press me for any more information and for that I was thankful.

Tomorrow was the day we laid Zain to rest and the day after if the day I am crowned.

...............

I woke up in bed the next morning, the blanket draped over my body but my bear leg was peeking out and wrapped around Alec's.

Looking at the time I barely had an hour to get ready before we start expecting visitors. I slowly got up, got ready and wrapped myself in a gown before making my way to my closet were a very awake Alec sitting on the bed.

"Morning."

"Hi, good sleep?'" I ask taking out some black dresses, I placed an of shoulder dress in front of me and turned around to face Alec, "what do you think?''

"I hate it, your shoulders are exposed, people will assume you don't have a mate.''

I smiled for a minute completely forgetting the blues of today.

"Whose fault is that?" I walked into the room and changed into the dress, I quickly did my makeup and hair before walking out- the exact moment Alec walks out of the shower in a simple white towel.

"This takes me back hey." He says causing me to think back to that motel.

I scrunched my face, "you are a big shot Alpha, and couldn't you afford a hotel?"
