The Hunt

Recap!!

"Prince James!" My mother said and Curtsied respectfully.

"Hope, You must bow to royalty." She said looking at the ground still bowing.

"Mother, Prince James is my mate." I said and she didn't moved.

Chapter 18

"You may rise." He said and my mother stood straight up.

"Thank you your highness."

"My sweet princess, who do I have the honors to meet?" He said and looked towards me.

I smiled at the little nickname, "James, this is my Mother. Not my birth mother."I said and grabbed my moms hand and lead her towards James.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Prince James." She said.

James grabbed her hand and kissed it, "The pleasures all mine. I can see where Hope gets her charm." He said and put her hand down and grabbed mine.

The warm sensation was strong.

"Oh prince James, I'm so glad your mate is my daughter and not some snotty girl." She said and made a hand gesture on snotty.

I laughed quietly at that.

"I am too. Now Hope?" He got my attention.

"Yes?" I asked nicely.

"We would have to leave in week so you can meet my parents and get you familiar with the royalty ways." He said.

"Do we have to leave so early?" I asked, "My mother just... came back and I would love to spend time with her."

He nodded "I'll call my parents and see what I can do. Excuse me while I take this outside." He kissed my cheek, "Excuse me." He said again and disappeared.

I smiled and looked at my mother.

"Hope, why are you wearing something like that? Specially in the present of royalty?"

I looked down at what I was wearing and I was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday.

"What's wrong with it?" I asked.

"It's not... lady like." She said, "Please go change... for me?" She asked.

"Would you like to pick out my clothes mother?" I asked.

"Yes I would." She said, "Now where is your room?" She asked and I pointed to my room, which was across the hall.

She walked in and her face was shocked when she saw my ruined room. She looked at me with shock.

"Don't blame me! Joshua did it when he found out I wasn't his mate!" I said.

I took a look around my room. My mattress was across the room. My dresser was in pieces and my mirror was broken and glass was everywhere. My windows were surprisingly not broken the slightest. My closet door was broken and my bathroom door looked normal... that can't be a good sign.

"He was that mad? Why didn't he destroy his room?" She asked and walked in.

She found my closet and moved the broken door out of the way easily.

"Hope! Where are all your dresses?" She said from the closet.

"In the back!" I shouted towards her while I started to fix my queen size bed, which included putting my mattress back on the bed.

Once I bed was fixed I say down and looked at my dark purple walls. I used to have posters up but I guess Joshua ruined them.

"Here we go! Now this is beautiful!" My mother came out of the closet holding my dress from the early 1800s.
