His destined mate

Bianca's POV

My heart could not contain my body. I was overjoyed thinking of my experience with Ethan, my mate.

I felt a different touch from him, last night was equally not the first time I kissed him but it felt exceptionally different. It felt so nice and accepting.

"I have a mate!" The memories of our intimate momi last night sent shivers all over my body. My body yearns for his touch once more, his tender kisses on me. The thought of him occupied my whole being.

"What could he be doing?" I whispered to myself. I heard a knock from outside. It rang on me that it is time for me to dress up for the new day.

"Your highness, I am here to assist you while you dress up" I opened my eyes from the comfort of my bed and saw a fair young beauty maid standing meters away from the bed. She wore a beautiful smile, the sun streaming from the window made her face glow. Beauty drew my attention from the bed, I got up and walked to her position.

"What is your name, young lady?" taking a step closer to her to have a closer look and she maintains her posture and her beautiful smile. That thrilled me to know if that has been her way of life or if it's just for the profession. "My name is Edwina, your highness" her voice was so gentle and calm.

"Edwina...is this our first meeting, or am I mistaken" I asked her as I went inside the bathroom to freshen up and get set for the day.

"Yes, your highness. I just got haired into the palace" with every bit of respect and humility in her response she replied. And I chuckled from my bathtub.

She waited patiently until I got out from the bathroom before she began to dress me as the tradition of the palace.

She curtsied and approached me with a gentle smile

"Shall we get started your highness" I sat as I positioned myself where she can do her things properly. As she began to help me dress my mind wandered back to Ethan, I could not help but wonder what he might be doing at the moment. "How do you you want your hairstyle today. Plaite or bun, your highness" her words brought my attention back to reality, I sighed before giving my response.

"Plait the front up and make the rest a bun"

From the look on her face from the mirror it was obvious she won't find it difficult to deal with.

Few minutes later she announced to me that she was done with me. She did a professional work on me. Her skill amazed me. My thoughts quickly went back to Ethan. What might be his reaction when she see this beauty. "Where have you been" admiring the beautiful me while she was lost in the sudden question.

"Sorry you highness" I sensed a heavy confusion on her face.

"Yes, where have a talented hand like you been" she gave out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you your highness" she smiled just then we heard a knock on the door and she went to know check out the person knocking at the door.

"It's the king's messenger your highness" my heart skipped a beat when I heard her

"What brought him to my chamber" looking direct at without hiding my eagerness to know learn what he wants.

"his highness request your presence in the dinning hall" my heart flipped again. Knowing that Ethan waits for me made my heart raced with eagerness. But I have to keep my cool.

I smoothened my dress, dress my hair a little, looked my self at the mirror once more. And Edwina helped me where my hands could not reach and at that moment I felt like a true queen.

"Shall we go your highness" I nodded at her in response but feeling a bit anxious to meet Ethan at the moment. She went and get the door for me to pass through. The messenger gave a gentle bow as I approached to his direction. "Your highness, the king awaits you" he said as he led us to the dinning hall

As we walked, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousnes boiling within me. What would today bring? I wondered. Would Emily make another appearance? I still can't forget her threat in a haste.

We entered the dining hall, and my eyes met Ethan's across the room. He gave me a heart warming smile, at that moment, my heart skipped a beat. He looked super handsome in his royal attire, his eyes sparkling with warmth. His handsome face took off the negative thought that was boiling in my mind.

I walked towards him putting on the best os my smile. Edwina walked closely behind me. As I got to his sitted, he stood up and took my hand in his, my heart flustered.

"Good morning, my love," he whispered, his voice sending shivers down my spine.

I smiled, feeling a sense of belonging. "Good morning, my king."

He pulled out a sit for me to sit. We sat down together, the rest of the royal family and courtiers taking their places around us.

We started eating and I tried to focus on the conversation, but my mind kept wandering back to Ethan's touch, his kisses...

As the meal progressed, I found myself stealing glances at Ethan, who was engaged in a conversation with one of the nobles. He caught my eye and smiled at me, and I felt my heart flutter.

We heard a sudden commotion at the entrance which caught our attention. A young servant rushed in, bowing low.

"Forgive me, your majesty," he said, out of breath. "We have received a message from the borders. A group of rogue wolves has been spotted, threatening our territory." still breathing heavily due to his rush to get here Ethan's expression turned serious, and he nodded. "Summon the council. We need to discuss this immediately."

The servant bowed and rushed out, and Ethan turned to me. "I'm sorry, my love. It seems like duty calls."

I nodded in understanding. "Go, I'll be here do not worry about me" giving out a warm smile

He stood up, and I followed suit. He took my hand, his eyes locked on mine.

" Stay safe, I will soon be back"

I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and responsibility. "I will. Just be careful."

He nodded and went out of the dining hall, leaving me alone amidst the strange nobles.

As I sat back down, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. The rogue wolves could be a threat, but I sensed there was more to it but can't place a finger on anything...

A sudden whisper in my ear made me jump. "You think you can replace Emily, but you'll never be queen."
