CHAPTER 010
EMMA POV
That day at school went by so slowly. And the whole day I spent daydreaming about Lucas.
I knew that I wasn’t fooling Avery. She knew that I wasn’t on my game today. Especially at
training. But I didn’t really care. I just couldn’t wait to see him again.
I didn’t think it was possible to fall for someone so quickly. Is it possible that he could be my
mate and this is just the bond that we feel before we turn 18? If that is the case then I don’t
know if I’m looking forward to when I turn 18. These feelings will probably kill me if this is how I’m already feeling about him.
I can’t stop thinking about him. I want his hands on me. I want him near me. It was insane.
Am I insane?
As soon as we were let out of school that day I showered and got dressed into fresh clothes
and I practically ran to the front of the school looking for Lucas. And without fail, there he
was.
He was talking to Levi. A guy that I knew since we grew up going to the same schools but
otherwise, we didn’t know each other that well.
They looked like they were having a pretty full on conversion and I didn’t want to interrupt
them, but once they knew I was there, they both stopped and looked at me.
“Hey. There you are.” Lucas said, holding his hand out for me. So I walked over to him and
took his hand and he kissed me.
“Well, I better leave you to it. Just remember what I said Lucas.” Levi said before he turned on his heels and walked away.
Levi looked a little pissed off as he left. Which I thought was strange.
“What was that about?” I asked.
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”
“Do you two know each other? I mean, you’ve only been in town for about a week.”
“I’ve only met him briefly in the past while visiting Hazel and her family.” He said.
“Oh. Okay then.” I said.
“Anyway, you got to pick what we did yesterday so I am picking what we’re doing today.” He
said.

“And what’s that?” I asked, cautiously.
“I want to meet your wolf.” He said. I looked at him surprised but also pleased.
I could handle that. So we started walking towards the back of the school where the woods
were.
I stood behind a tree as I took my clothes off and it took me a couple minutes of concentrating before I shifted into my black and white wolf. A mix of my mom and dad.
I walked out from behind the tree and Lucas was standing there in his sandy wolf.
His eyes went wide when he saw me and my wolf Gemma was prancing around in front of
him.
“Would you knock it off?” I snapped at Gemma.
“Why? He’s cute.” She said.
“You’ve been telling me to be careful of him. And now you’re showing off for him.” I said.
“It doesn’t mean that we can’t tease him a little.” Gemma said.
And I looked at Lucas again. I walked over to his wolf and sniffed him before I opened the
mind link.
“What’s your wolf’s name?” I asked.
“Otto.” Lucas answered.
“He’s handsome.” I said. And he rubbed his head up against Gemma.
“He’s nothing compared to you. Gemma is beautiful.” He said.
“Thank you.” I said. And then I stopped for a moment. Did I ever tell him what my wolf’s name
was?
I guess I must have. Or someone else did. I can’t remember. But a lot of people in these villages know my wolf’s name. So there’s plenty of ways he could have found out.
“Come on. I want to take you somewhere.” I said, darting off behind him. So he turned around
and he started running after me.
I was bigger than a normal wolf but that’s because my father is an Alpha and my mother is
the Queen. Everyone knew that my wolf would be exceptional.
We ran through the woods for about 20 minutes before we ended up on the other side of the
castle which Lucas hadn’t seen before.
We moved further away from the ocean, but we stopped at a clearing that I wasn’t sure

anyone ever came to.
Whenever I was here, it always looked untouched. But it was my favorite spot in the territory. I
loved coming here.
It was more peaceful than having guards constantly checking on me and having people
around me all the time.
Gemma rested on her stomach as soon as we reached the clearing, but I saw Lucas looking around at the wild flowers that were growing. And they only grew here for a very short time, so
I always had to make the most of it while I could.
We were surrounded by trees with a slither of sunlight coming in and that’s where I was laying
down.
The trees surrounding the clearing were perfectly still with beautiful flowers sprouting out on each of them. Again, something that we weren’t going to be able to see for much longer.
Lucas walked over and laid down next to me and Otto put his head on Gemma’s paws, the two
wolves touching noses.
I stared into his eyes and I still couldn’t shake this feeling. And for some reason, I thought it was wrong. But how could it be wrong? If there was something wrong about it then Gemma would be warning me. I mean, that’s one of the reasons she’s there. To give me an extra layer
of protection.
But she was totally smitten with Otto and she had no intention of pushing him away.
“Can I ask you something?” I asked, cautiously.
“Sure.” Lucas said.
“Why do you like me?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, guys aren’t usually this forthcoming with me. They don’t usually make the first move. I know that it’s because I’m the princess and my fathers scare a lot of boys away from talking to me. But that didn’t stop you.” I explained.
“Maybe it’s because I’m new here. I haven’t met your dads or seen how scary they are. I mean, I’ve heard the stories. Everyone has. I honestly think your mother sounds scarier. But I didn’t think that was any reason to stay away. I saw you at your birthday party and I couldn’t help it. I just needed to talk to you.” He said.
“Okay. I was just wondering.” I said.

“That’s okay. I want you to ask me anything. Don’t be scared to ask questions if you’re not sure. If anyone should be cautious, it’s you.” He said. So Gemma rubbed her head against Lucas‘ head again.
We then heard something in the forest next to where we were.

Lucas and I both jumped to our feet and I could see that Lucas was trying to get in front of me, almost protectively.
But then I saw my friend Chloe and her mother Lexie walked out from the trees in their human selves and we both relaxed.
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
“We were out for a walk.” Lexie said.
I looked at Chloe and I saw her looking at her mother strangely but she eventually agreed that they were just out for a walk.
