Prince Reagan
Chapter 59

Danny came back from Canada the next day only to inform us that King Aldrich, Reagan's father, had summoned my mate back to the Palace. I wasn't sure what had prompted this sudden decision, but when Danny had swiftly glanced at me, I knew it had something to do with me.

Oh no.

I can only hope he wasn't mad that I'm with Reagan. I can't believe I'm going to meet the king of all beasts, the most feared and powerful man in the werewolf kingdom. I've always envisioned him to be this huge scary man that breaths fire from his nostrils. Anyway, we had to leave for Canada earlier than planned. Since Danny had narrated to the council all that had happened, the trial for Janet, Mr. Brigham, and the rest of the rogues has been scheduled two months from now. I'm surprised it will be this soon considering they're usually a busy bunch having to settle disputes almost every day along with other matters. But then again, this case wasn't the usual disputes they're used to settling.

Janet and the rest were, however, transported to Canada after the interrogations and are being held over there.

I didn't want to leave so soon and found it hard to say goodbye to my parents. Dad and mum seemed genuinely happy for me, wishing me luck and all that, but I could see they were also trying to hide their true feelings. They would miss me just as much as I would miss them, but they had probably been preparing for this moment their whole life.

There had always been a possibility that my mate wasn't going to be from my pack, and that I would have to leave to his, someday. I have so many things I want to tell my mum, so many fears I want to share with her, but I had to learn to be strong and lean on my mate only from now on.

I will be spending the rest of my life with Reagan, and I couldn't ask for more. No one will be coming between us from now on with Janet gone. I only hope they lock her in the deepest darkest cell possible if she isn't sentenced to death. She did try to kill me, a soon to be Princess. Which reminds me, is His Highness going to crown me as one if he doesn't like me?

I mean, I'm okay with that as long as it doesn't affect my bond with Reagan. He's the only one I care about and not some stupid crown. I would even prefer it if Reagan wasn't a Prince; this way, he wouldn't have many duties to attend to and we would have more time together. His duties as a Prince is one of the reasons we won't be staying in LA anymore.

I wonder if he's even going to have time for me anymore when we get to the Palace tomorrow. I won't be able to follow him everywhere, and he probably would be locked up in an office sorting some paperwork or at council meetings with his father. Just the thought of that is setting me up for a depressed mood. Are we still going to remain close like we are right now?

I know I'm overthinking it all, but I hate every second I'm away from him. Does that make me clingy?

"What's on your mind?" I hear the husky voice beside my ear that makes me smile immediately and snuggle deeper into his chest. Even though rough with sleep, his voice still sounded sexy and enough to drive all my bad thoughts away.

I sigh as I shift and turn around on the bed towards Reagan, whose heavy-lidded eyes are fixed intently on me with worry. It's cute he's always worried about me when he notices something wrong in my mood.

It's the middle of the night with both of us entangled in the sheets, naked, might I add, except he has a pair of boxers on, and I have on just my black lace panties.

"Nothing will separate us, right?" My question takes him off guard with his eyebrows furrowed in confusion at my words. "What I mean is even though you'll be busy at the palace, you'll still think of me and have time for me, right?" Things will be different when we get there, so I needed to prepare myself for all that. We won't have time for games and all the little things that strengthen our bond.

I remember when we just met and started living together. Man, I must have been a pain in the a*s with all the troubles I caused and tricks I kept pulling. But here I am now, not able to stay a single second without him.

A smile appears on his face as he brushes his thumb over my cheek, leaving behind tiny electrifying sparks.

"I can never be too busy for you, my love." He declares, and my heart skips a beat at the sincerity behind his words. "Yes, I will have work waiting for me back at home, but that doesn't mean I'll be away from you. I can't breathe right without your scent filling the air. I can't think straight without staring into your beautiful eyes. And I definitely can't stay long without you, so why would you think I won't have time for you when I'm obsessed with you?"

He leans down to kiss my forehead before moving back. "Nothing and no one is going to come between us because I sure as hell won't let them." He promises with a straight face. I know he's talking about his father and trying to reassure me. It's funny how I'm still insecure even after we have completed the mating process, and he had understood right away what I feel. He was too perfect for me, and I realized that a bit late.

"Now," I look back up to see his smile returning and turning devilish. "Since you're the reason I'm awake from my slumber, I think I deserve compensation." He states with a suggestive tone. My cheeks begin to flame red once more as erotic images fill my mind, causing my body to flame up in desire.

Look at me, turning horny just by a few words when we made love a few hours ago.

"Oh, yeah? And what's that?" I giggle as his arms snake around my waist and bring me closer to him.

"Wrap your arms around me." He guides me until I'm huging and snuggling into him. "Yeah, just like that, and don't let go." He whispers into my neck, burying his face in there." Now, goodnight." He states.

My smile falls off with a frown appearing on my face. That's it?

"Goodnight?" I had to ask as I had been expecting more. I can feel him smirk against my skin with his breath slightly tickling my neck.

"Yeah, goodnight." His voice sounds very deep beside my ear. "Or did you want something else?" He doesn't have to pull back for me to know he has an amused expression on his face. The cheeky bastard!

With a huff, I push him away abruptly, catching him off guard before turning around and curling myself into a ball. He had used such enticing words with me only to act naive in the end. And my body was still warm with desire.

I hear him chuckle deeply behind me before wrapping his arms around my form and resting his jaw on my head. And I don't fight him but only sighed and curled into his chest before taking in a deep breath along with his scent. I couldn't be mad at him for long. He just smelled too damn good and irresistible.

"I'm never letting you go, either." I thought I heard him say as I drift off to sleep.

The next day, I had to wrestle with Reagan to release me from his hold. We are leaving today for the Palace, and I can feel my heartache slightly thinking of it. I really am going to miss LA, as I had stayed here all my life. I will, of course, come to visit once in a while to see my parents. Maybe they could also come to visit me at the Palace.

"Reagan! We have to get up." I announce through gritted teeth as I wiggle about in his hold while trying to peel his arm around me. Damn, he has a strong grip, but at the same time, he wasn't crushing me.

"Just five more minutes." He whispers into my ear before pulling me back into his chest.

"That's what you said the last three times!" I scowl, looking up at him as he still has his eyes closed. I keep my glare on his face, disrupting his sleep and making a frown furrow his eyebrows.

"Fine." He grumbles, letting me go finally but rolling on his other side to get back to sleep.

"No, no. We both need to get up." I emphasize while shaking him with my hands. But he doesn't budge, and it feels like I'm pushing against a wall. I sigh and flop back down on the bed before smiling as an idea pops into my mind.

"I thought we were gonna shower together, but I'm guessing you're not interested." I stand up to leave when I hear the shuffle of the bedsheets behind me.

"I'm coming." He mutters, and I turn to see his eyes already wide open with the traces of sleep gone. I giggle out loud when he grabs my hand and rushes to the bathroom with me in tow.

It took longer than expected for us to get ready and head for the airport. I keep fidgeting with my fingers all the way while Reagan sat composed and relaxed beside me without a care in the world. A white shirt stretches over his shoulder with the top buttons undone to leave his chest open. And his legs, that are clad in black pants, are set apart in a relaxed manner. He looks yummy enough to eat even though he hadn't styled his hair, leaving it messy. I was also one of the causes of that.

My cheeks turn slightly pink as I remember how I had fisted and pulled on it earlier. Looking out through the window, I let out a sigh, feeling extremely nervous. I should be ready for anything since he had already warned me earlier that his father might not be too happy with me.

"You seem nervous." He whispers behind me as I stare at the large private jet in front of us. Its steps lay open for us to walk up through with an air hostess patiently waiting at the top with a smile. Adrian had helped carrying up the little stuff we brought along, leaving Reagan and me behind.

"That obvious, uh?" I ask, letting out a shaky breath. Since when did little things scare me?

"Just remember I'm always here." He wraps an arm around my waist and urges me forward. "And I'm never leaving your side."

Danny and Lexi are already waiting for us when we get in. They both arch their eyebrows when they notice us as we sit opposite them.

"You two took your damn time getting here." Lexi accuses in a bored tone before distracting herself once more with her phone.

"I don't think that's what took their time." Danny smirks without looking up from his magazine. I kick him under the table, watching in satisfaction as he cringes. He pouts at me before covering his eyes using a pair of dark sunglasses and relaxing back. Soon, the flight attendant gives out instructions as we're about to take off. I lean my head on my mate's shoulder, my mind filled with different insecure thoughts as I slowly close my eyes shut.

I am leaving behind my former life and embracing a new chapter as the plane begins to slowly take off into the sky.
