Sienna

That first night run with Matthew, a few months back created somewhat of a bond that both of us couldn't explain. It wasn't a great sexual one but it does have a bit of tension between us. Matthew was a great guy, any girl would love to have him as a friend, boyfriend, or maybe friends with benefits. He's bent on being faithful to his mate in which I respected and understood but sometimes I just want to kiss the hell out of him. I had to control my urges and learned to ignore them.

Our friendship has caused rumors at the academy in which Sasha and Mina quickly doused. Brin and her peeps still give me the evil eye but who cares I'm a big girl. I did have my fun though on the fighting grounds. Alpha and Beta kids are stereotyped. We need to be on top of our game, the best in defense, tracking and leadership are supposed to be natural. I guess not all Alpha kids were natural in skills we were meant to teach our pack members. Brin was one of the unfortunates. It all came to a shock when we were put into a fight in pairs during training. Coach Malek saw how Brin was taunting me and how calm I was about it all, so he decided to do his own experiment.

My brother taught me everything he knew and we were both taught by a guy our mother brought in when I first shifted.

I didn't mean to embarrass her, well maybe I did want to a little bit, but she took that exercise too far. After fifteen minutes of letting her go easy, she lashed out at me marking my hind leg as the result. It got Lana really upset let's just say Brin was in the medical wing for three days healing. After the mock fights, I was paired up with a royal to train more extensively, not one of them questioned Coach Malek but they watched me in confusion and asked me, who my trainer was? I was honest when I told them I never learned his name.

"Hey, love."

Stretching in my bed, I turn to the sound of the one and only Prince Matthew. "Hi" I croaked out wiping the sleep out of my eyes. He was seated on the rocking chair next to my bed, dressed in dark jeans and a blue dress shirt matching his eyes. Smiling down at me, he reached out to brush my hair away from my face.

"You sure you don't want to come with us. It's in England. Like the best way to spend Christmas." He was pleading with me for the millionth time to come with his family for Christmas. Apparently, this year was his mother's turn to host the family. I was flattered when they all invited me but I just wanted to see my family. It has been months that I haven't been around them and I missed them like crazy.

"Maybe on the next holiday. You can hold me to that," I promised him while getting up. "Whatever you say my dear Sienna" he grinned rocking back more on the chair.

"Where are the girls?" I asked going into my en suite. I was given my own room at the school, it was fairly large. I had my own bathroom, sitting area, and a little nook where I had a cupboard filled with junk food and another cupboard with books. I liked my privacy so this arrangement was great.

"They are downstairs grabbing a bite before the drivers get here" he called out.

"Drivers?" I asked coming out.

"Yeah. Safety Precautions. It's better for us to go to our destination through different routes in case of an attack. Each of us can handle ourselves but it would be terrible if all the royal siblings are... you know, "He tried to explain in which I understood. He was looking at me closely as I sat cross-legged on the bed.

"What is it?" I asked worried for a moment.

"Bloody hell" he cursed. Before I knew it, I was laying back on my bed with Matthew hovering over me.

"Do you know how bad I want to kiss you right now? Your lips have been tempting me all semester. This bond with you is confusing as hell," he said stroking my cheek then my lips. My heart was racing, his touch was one of comfort and peace, something my wolf and I longed for. Holding his gaze I saw the confusion and lust in his eyes, his fingers found their way on my black curls, a lazy smile were now on his lips. "Snow White," he mumbled.

"Snow White?" I asked chuckling.

"Hair black as night. Lips as red as a rose. Skin as pure as snow. Beautiful. Eyes like diamonds, always sparkling with happiness." His words stopped the laughter in my throat. My heart, I knew by now was beating as loud as ever.

"No one never... I never...." I was fighting for words. No one has ever compared my features to such things much less to a princess everyone loved during their childhood.

"Your parents were right to give you the name Lily. You are different in each and every way but still beautiful to look at." His words were soft as he lowered his lips to mine.

Matthew was going to kiss me. He was also holding himself back too? Before I can register what was happening, warm lips touched mine in which I responded to feverishly. It started off soft then harder as the lust built up between us. His body now covered mine, one hand of his was in my hair as the other was on my waist. The warmth of his hand on my bare skin was simply heaven. Both my hands were on his locks in which I loved to play with. He was about to move to my neck when he stilled and released a low growl.

"Time to go?" I breathed out. He nodded resting his head on mine, our noses touching each other's, his eyes were closed as I looked up at him.

"Come with me please, love. It would be torture not seeing you for the next two weeks now I have tasted you," he begged again.

I thought about it but was still hesitant to impose on them. "We need to figure out if this is what we want. A relationship with each other before our mates. A relationship with this... tension between us. This is something I didn't expect " I said.

He kissed my lips once more before removing himself from me. Helping me up, he pulled me into his arms and held onto me tightly. "I think I want to be selfish and have you first before your mate," he said grinning. I laughed out loud before burying my face in his chest. Even though I knew he was joking, I sensed some sort of truth between his words.

"I love your laugh," he said kissing me on my head. Looking at him I traced his jaw then lips, "I love your eyes. It always shows me the real Matt." Saying those words I tiptoed and claimed his lips. This time it wasn't gentle but it was wild. It came like we had this need to release. I jumped and he caught me on his hips, his erection was being brushed against my core, and a blush took over my face as he did this. He groaned against my lips and reluctantly pulled away. This was too intense, too much.

"Mina is throwing a fit. I should go," he said pecking my lips once more. He let me down and let out a deep breath, taking in my body with a slow gaze. "Goddess, please help me," he said out loud before hugging me tightly. "Bye baby," I said in his ear.

He stepped back and grinned, "Baby. I like that. Bye Lily". With those last words, he rushed out the door leaving me in a daze.

Matthew and I.

Wow.

"Feliz Cumpleaños Sienna"

The chorused shouts of my brother and mother woke me up with a smile on my face. It has been four days since I've been home and today was my eighteen birthday.

Sitting up on my bed, there stood my brother with a big grin on his face, the candlelight on the red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting made him look super cheerful. My mother stood beside him, smiling with happy tears on her eyes holding three gifts.

"Gracias mama. Gracias Jovian" I exclaimed crawling out of bed reaching for the cake. It was calling out to me since I first opened my eyes. "Ah! Ah! No! Después del desayuno, señorita." (After breakfast young lady.) Mama said blocking my way. Pouting, I made my way to freshen up, "Prisa! Tengo hambre." (Hurry. I'm hungry.) Jovian called out before leaving my room. I was hungry too after missing dinner the night before.

As I was getting dressed my phone rang off, checking to see who it was a silly grin made its way to my face, it was Mina Sasha and Matthew. "Happy Birthday Sienna. Your gift from us is probably on its way to your home anytime now. Hope you love it girl. Missing you like crazy." Mina said taking over the screen.

"Ughhh give it now Mina," Sasha grumbled taking the phone from her cousin. "Happy Birthday sucks that we can't go clubbing now that we are all eighteen but.....when we get back to school I going to make sure we do." she continued before blowing me a kiss and leaving. It was only Matthew left.

"Happy birthday baby. I promise to make up to you for this birthday. I have been thinking about us and my conclusion is we both are aware of the mate thing. Being together would help us both. In both ummm.... emotional and physical way. We're both somewhat new to this. I am more comfortable that I'm doing this with someone close to me. Someone who I care about. I hope you feel the same. We just have to be ready. I would see you soon. I miss you Sienna" he said before cutting off the video.

I stood still watching the video still of his handsome face thinking over his words. To my wolf, she was okay with it and found it a good idea to have this relationship with Matt but the only way we want. Turning it over in my head again, I saw the clarity. Putting my phone on camera I was about to record a video for Matt but the banging on my door interrupted me.

"Coming" I yelled throwing my phone on my bed and rushing to the door opening it, I was able to catch my brother about to knock the door midair. Flicking his nose, I ran down to the kitchen where I met my mother placing a large plate of bacon and breakfast sausage. The scent was heavenly, I immediately dug in. It felt good eating with my family beside gossips and glares around me. We talked about what has been happening in the pack, my time at school and my plans after.

After mama cleared the table, Jovian came in with my gifts, I was too excited. He placed the gifts in front of me then I froze as I saw familiar handwriting on one of the cards.

"What is this?" I snapped picking up the card and a slim rectangular box.

No one said anything. Looking at my brother he gave me a sad smile then my mother. She sat there staring at the wall, twisting her wedding band around her finger.

"Your father."
