Nari
The castle is huge , I am finding it hard to take in the place . We were only just through the door, we were standing in the entrance hall , when he asked if I would like a tour of the castle . Asking where I would like to see first I just knew a place this grand would have a library .
I have no idea why but I feel calm in his presence , almost safe . I am lost in my own thoughts when we are interrupted by a female. She was pretty , her brown hair hung down her back . Her brown eyes kept flitting from the prince to myself .
She had an air of entitlement about her , beta or gamma blood perhaps . She looks me up and down, her eyes landing on my hand on his arm . The look of disgust as she demands to know who I am, has me wondering who she is . As the prince walks away from her after a quick introduction i can feel his anger its strange it's as though its my own . Asking if he's ok , he just smiles at me , I am taken aback at how handsome he is with a smile on his face , I just shrug it off trying to ignore the flutter in my stomach . The prince takes my hand again , the faint tingles that were there before are now back . Finding comfort in his touch I decided to allow him to take my hand as he led us through many passages and a flight of stairs .
I wasn't sure what i was expecting if i am honest , the moment he pushed open the huge double doors my eyes grew wide in amazement .The musky smell of old books and an air of not being used . In front of me was the biggest library I had ever seen, not that I had seen any except the one in the pack once but I guess it counted . As he turned to me his face had a concerned look on it .
“ Is it ok ? .” He asked as a single tear ran down my cheek .
Bringing my hand up to cover my mouth I just nodded , trying really hard not to cry . He instantly panicked thinking he had done something wrong . Grabbing his hand , I shake my head .
“ Kurat , this is amazing . I love it .” He just rubs the back of his head , a pink tint creeped up his cheek . “ Thank you , are you sure I can use it ? no one seems to have been here for a long time .”
He instantly tenses up and I feel like I have said something wrong . “ Sorry , I didn't mean to upset you .” I want to kick myself for ruining the moment . He was trying to do something nice for me . “ It was my grandmothers library , no one really comes here except me .” I thought I heard him wrong , he spoke in an almost whisper . He just looked at me and smiled but it didn't reach his eyes , he looked sad .
Deciding to change the subject I started asking about his favourite books and we spent another hour chatting about books .

Getting to the room i was going to be staying in i was slightly confused , instead of going down to the quarters where the staff would live we went up . Now I am standing on the top floor in a room that you could fit the whole downstairs of the orphanage into . I turn to look at the prince , sensing my confusion.
“ Nari , I hope you don't mind but I'll put you here next to my room .” He looked a bit unsure as though I would be angry .
“ What about the other girls ?” I know I was the last of the six other females giving as a gift .
As tradition says the prince will court all six , if he takes part in it . Although not all the Princes take part . Spending time with each gift until he makes the final choice , each female is to take part in many activities , including training, pack history and etiquette . He just looked down .
“ I know I have to spend time with you all , I just didn't want you staying in the staff quarters . If you would feel better being there I can get one of the maids to move your things .”
Placing my hand on the now flustered prince , he looks me in the eye .I say “ Kurat , I am more than happy to be here . I just didn't think I was worthy of such a beautiful room .”
Saying it out loud made me remember the she-wolf from earlier, I felt embarrassed. Maybe I don't deserve it , most packs send the daughter of the highest ranking wolf .
“ Look , be careful you are free to do as you want but remember the people in this castle are not your friends . Especially not my brothers and definitely not the other girls . I have had the head maid Anna stock the room for you but I can take you shopping for clothes soon . There are work out clothes in the closet , training is at 6am in the training grounds. I'll see you there, don't be late .” He said as he left , giving me a small smile as he closed the door .
Putting down the books I borrowed from the library , I decided to check out the bathroom . Opening the bathroom door I was stunned at the size of the tub , it was big enough for ten people . Just as Kurat had said the maid had indeed stocked things for me . Sitting on the side was the softest soft pink nightdress and underwear . Going back to the room there was a note on the bedside table ; Welcome to the castle Nari , food will be brought up at seven . I do hope you like what I have picked out for you if there is anything else you need please let me know . Thanks Anna . Placing the note down , I go to the closet .
Opening the door to the closet my jaw dropped , it was the largest closet . I spotted the clothes Anna had kindly picked out for me . I was glad when I spotted the shoes , she had picked three sizes of each of the shoes she had left . I smiled and decided to curl up on the large armchair by the window to read while I waited for food .
Prince KuratI am so confused , leaving her room I am feeling things i have never felt . I head straight to my own room , I am a mix of emotions that are alien to me . I can still smell her scent very faintly and it has my beast surfacing , he wants to go back through to her room and claim her . I have five other females to spend time with , I have two Alpha's daughters , one Beta's daughter and two daughters of high ranking warriors . By tradition they are more suited to the title of Princess . My mind each time I think of marking someone my beast is flashing snips of Nari , her eyes are unreal . I decided to have a cold shower then look for one of my brothers . After the shower I mind-link to my brother Ratnik , ‘ Hey , you about for a chat?’ . ‘ Hey , you're back . That was quick . Ye sure am in my private gym .’ Throwing on some sweat pants and a t-shirt , I head down . Entering his gym , Ratnik is topless throwing punches at a punch bag , covered in sweat . I could see by the
Nari I find myself being so confused but seriously turned on by Kurat’s behaviour . The fact I have spent all morning training in his top that comes down past my knees has me smiling .I could feel holes being burnt in the back of my head from the other females . My body is screaming out in protest of the training . I am sweating all over , breathing hard . I lift the bottom of the t-shirt to wipe my face and notice him staring at my body with a frown . I feel extremely self conscious and drop the top . We were just finishing when his brother appeared. I felt myself wanting to submit and bow to him .Kurat was not happy by the fact I had bowed , this man seriously confused me . His brother seemed nice enough . He smiled and was pleasant , he was tall and handsome but not as striking as Kurat . I am lost in thought admiring the sharp edges to his jaw and dark and moody look he has . It's only when she opens her mouth to talk , It feels like someone has thrown a bucket of cold water
Prince KuratMy beast is in a furious mood , having to leave the library and Nari has him wanting blood . She looked sad that i had to leave , If i am completely honest i wasn't happy about it either .I could feel the steam rolling off me as I stomped my way down to the games room . People would see me coming and get out the way , I didn't blame them at all, I was known for my temper . Slamming the games room door open , I notice the two guards holding the females apart . Of course Frah was one of the females , this she-wolf is turning out to be a right pain in my arse . Noticing me she pulls away from the guard and runs to me in a fake show of being afraid . Mentally I roll my eyes , her fake tears dont work on me . Looking at the guard , he just shrugs his shoulders . The dramatic female goes to throw her arms around me , I step to the side and growl at her .“ Do not touch me .” . The silly female froze , realising her mistake . I could smell her fear , I smirked to myself . Sh
Nari Last night I had the best time with Kurat , we ate and laughed for hours . I woke up this morning and I couldn't wait to see him . I decided to put something a bit more covered up today . Even though I enjoyed having his scent around me it was a bit restricting at times training with his t-shirt on especially since it stopped below my knee . I was just about to put my shoes on when there was a knock at the door . I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my face and the butterflies in my stomach . Shouting “come in.” I continued to put my shoes on , his scent hit my nose before my eyes landed on him . Kurat walked in with a pair of grey sweat pants and a black vest on , his hair was pulled back into a man-bun . His silver eyes sparkled as he greeted me. “ Good morning Nari , ready to get your butt kicked ?” I couldn't help but laugh . “ We will see , I feel stronger today .” He just burst out laughing . When I stood up , he looked me up and down, finishing at my eyes . I j
Prince Kurat My inner turmoil was giving me a headache , the thoughts of her getting hurt sent my beast and me into a frenzy . The moment she kissed me everything faded away . Her big beautiful eyes stare up at me as we pull apart , our bodies begging for some air . She blinks at me as a pink blush coats her perfect face , she's nibbling her bottom lip as I see her nerves kicking in . She slowly pulls away from me and I can see she's worried .“ I i i am sorry , I don't know what came over me .” she manages to stutter . I reach out for her hand .“ Don't be , I Am not .” She smiles as she looks at our hands . “ I know you have the other girl Kurat , I understand you will be spending time with them .” She says as her shoulders sag from the reality of the citation we are in . I can't stand to see her hurting , she is affecting me . I would be lying if I said this isn't scaring me . I have been in battle many times and never felt the fear I felt at the thought of not having her . I p
Prince Kurat As my mother releases me from her embrace , my father comes into the room . “ Kurat son , to what do we owe this visit ?” he says as he takes a seat on the sofa . I stand feeling slightly awkward and unsure how to explain when he has a small laugh “ Never thought I would see the day you would be lost for words , Out with it boy .” He says as he motions for me to sit across from him , as my mother sits beside him . My father instinctively wraps his arms around her and pulls her to him , placing a kiss on her temple . As I watch them I know the love that flows through them for each other . I know I want that , I know I can't and wont settle for less . Taking a deep breath I decided to just ask them . After forty minutes and me pacing back and forth , I realise that neither have spoken . I stop and look at them expectantly , my mother is the first to speak. “ Well , I have been seeing glimpses of her in my visions .” I spin to look at her before she continues, “ I wa
Nari Waking up early I felt like last night was a dream , Kurat told me he only wanted me . He explained he had to spend some time with them so as not to offend the other Alphas , but asked me to trust him . I was just brushing my teeth when he knocked at the door , shouting come in. I rushed to finish what I was doing . As I exit the bathroom my eyes land on him my mouth goes dry and my core clenches , this man is a god and I can't believe he wants me . “ Good morning beautiful .” he says as he crosses the room to give me a kiss . Everytime he touches me I feel the sparks , it's strange but everyday they seem stronger. What does this mean ? I think to myself as he steps back but holds out his hand to me “ Shall we ?” He says as I slip my small hand into his huge rough hand . My heart is racing as we make it down to the training grounds , I let go of his hand as I know the other females would be there . He looks down and frowns at me but then he winks at me , his grey silver eye
NariI had just finished getting changed and was looking at the dress I had picked . My nerves are all over the place , all I can think about is if she will like me , what if she thinks I am not good enough . Should i change , what about my hair , do i put makeup on . My brain is on overdrive , I can feel my heart beating out my chest when I hear a knock at the door . “ Come in .” I smile when I smell his scent , I feel my shoulders start to relax . “ Hey beautiful .” Kurat says as I step out my closet . “ What do you think ? Do you think I should change it ?” I rush out all at once . Kurat bursts out laughing . “ What ?Why are you laughing at me ? What if your mum doesn’t like me ?” Walking over to me he places his huge hands on my shoulders , the skin to skin contact has the light sparks sizzling under my skin without even realising I let out a soft moan of appreciation . Kurats eyebrows shoot up almost to his hairline and he has a small smirk on his face . I feel my cheeks tur
