Chapter 37
“That’s different” I answered frustrated at her question.
“How is it different Aiden? Please enlighten me”
“I can’t explain it right now, but it just is okay”
“That’s not good enough Aiden, if you want me to even consider letting her go you will have to give me a better reason than that”
I saw the resolve in her eyes as she spoke and I knew that tricks wouldn’t work, if I want to have Scar walk out of here alive I have to tell the truth.
“I was afraid” I said looking intently into her baby blue eyes and the look in her eyes was one of shock, she looked at me like she didn’t expect me to be so bold.
“I had looked…I had searched everywhere but I still couldn’t find my mate, back then I would have said yes to anyone who came with that kind of offer…I would have rather done that than face a lifetime alone…okay there, I’ve told you, now your turn” I said taking big gulp of my whisky I looked at her hoping for a sign but at the same time not sure what kind of sign I was hoping for.
“You think you’ve looked, hu, I can sincerely say with absolute confidence that no one has looked for their mate more than I have, I’ve been around the world twenty times looking for you” she paused and looked down at her drink.
“I have dreamt about what his face might look like, what his laugh sounded like, I have even fantasised about the colour of his wolf, and just when I had given up…I met you” she said turning and looking at me tears welling up in her eyes.
“I met you and everything changed, you see your scent called to me, my whole world started to make sense”
the glass slipped from my hand and shattered on the ground
“Wait…what?!” I tried to manage the shock, but it still knocked all the air out of me, I shook my head in disbelieve.
“I don’t know why this has happed, after losing all hope I finally find my mate and for a moment there I was really happy…yes it bothered me when you couldn’t scent me, it really frustrated me, but I did my best not to think of it, I just told myself that you just needed some time, but when you rejected me at the Ball I was crushed” a tear fell down her face, but she was still very composed
“What you’re saying is impossible, I’ve never heard of anything like that” I said feeling frustrated.
“I’m not surprised that you’ve never heard of it not many wolves have, as it happens only once in a millennium, that’s how rare it is, how unlucky am I that I got the short end of the stick” she scoffed and took another sip.
“Luckily I’m the princess so I have the power to have things my way”
“That might be, but it doesn’t change the fact that I’m still not your mate” I glared at her trying to wrap my head around what she had just said.
“Aiden, don’t you get it…I might not be your mate, but you are mine, you are a Dyadic wolf Aiden”
“A what?”
“A wolf with two mates, Aiden, Scarlett and I are both your mates, but somehow your cosmos is more aligned with hers than mine, but I will be dammed if I have to share you with a peasant like her, or even worse lose you to her especially now at the beginning of the mating season” I heard a faint thud and turned towards the noise
“Scar!” I shouted running to her side.
Scarlett’s POV
I woke up to the sound of someone’s voice speaking very loudly,
“Mom why are you screaming, you’re so loud stop it” I said rubbing my eyes and able to finally to focus.
“Your bath is ready Miss” said the lady with long blond hair French braided from the base of the hair all the way to the tip, and she was wearing a white tunic and a white apron standing in front of me.
“Okay” the words came out like a song that I didn’t intend to sing.
“Where am I” I asked sitting with my legs hanging over the bed
“You’re at the palace Miss, the princess is expecting you in a few moments, if you would follow me I will help you get ready” I stood up and followed her. When my bath was done I was annoyed when I found an evening gown with shoes on the bed.
“Why do the rich love dressing people up so much?” It was a silver gown with shimmering stone like diamonds around the waist with shoes to match.
“How does everyone know my size?” I asked myself, feeling irritated that it fit perfectly,
“I hate this, it was cute when Aiden was doing it but now it seems like everyone finds it amusing to kidnap me and dress me like I’m their own personal doll”, a knock on the door brought me back from my thoughts, I opened it and saw that it was the same lady from before,
“Good you’re ready, right this way Miss” I followed her doing my best to hide my fury, who do they think they are kidnaping me and bringing me to Iceland without my consent, I am a human being not a plaything, I have feelings too or don’t they care about that, just because I’m poor doesn’t mean I don’t matter.
“Screw them…screw them all” the tunic lady suddenly stopped and turned facing me, my body froze with fear thinking she heard me curse the royal family. I looked at her bracing myself for the worst.
“The dining room is down that hallway ma’am” I nodded and sighed with relief as she walked away, I walked down the dimly lit hallway and I slowly began to hear the voices from the people in the dining hall.
“I met you and everything changed, your scent called to me, my whole world started to make sense” the woman said the sound of breaking glass echoed through the air
“What…what?” I heard the shock in his voice
“Aiden, that sounds like Aiden's voice” I walked closer and carefully peered through the door.
“I don’t know why this has happed, after losing all hope I finally find my mate and for a moment there I was really happy…yes it bothered me when you couldn’t scent me, but I didn’t think anything of it, I just thought that you needed some time, but when you rejected me at the ball I was crushed”
“Oh my god” I whispered with my hand over my mouth.
“I’m not surprised, it happens once a millennium, that’s how rare it is, how unlucky am I that I got the short end of the stick” what is happening, what is she talking about? I thought to myself trying to be as silent as possible
“luckily I’m the princess so I have the power to have things my way” I rolled my eyes; I can’t believe I ever idolised her.
“That might be, but I’m still not your mate” I nodded in agreement with Aiden still eavesdropping on their conversations
“Aiden, don’t you get it…I might not be your mate, but you are mine, you are a Dyadic wolf Aiden”
“A what?” I whispered to myself
“A what?” Aiden said in unison with me
“A wolf with two mates… Scarlett and I are your mates, and I will be dammed if I lose my mate…” she continued speaking but I couldn’t hear anything, my mind flooded with her words and started ringing, my knees buckled and gave in, and I found myself on the floor with Aiden and the princess witnessing my life crashing down and burning to ash before me.
