Claire's POV~

Oh my god! Oh my god! My mate was a freaking king!!!!

I don't know what to do, I can't function. My heart and body are telling me to stay, but my mind keeps telling me to run. Then there is my ever present wolf, Ava, she just wants to jump on him and fuck him until I can't walk.

He starts to walk to me, and I just stand there like an idiot. Once he reaches me, he caresses my cheek with is soft hand, I unintentionally lean into him.

"Hello little mate." Oh my God, his voice is so yummy.

"Hel..lo." I stutter back. Great just great! I freaking stuttered in front of my Alpha king mate, the hell brain?!?!?

His amazing laugh brings me back to reality.

"Would you like to dance?" He asks. I nod my head, for I don't know if I can trust my voice.

As we start dancing, people notice. They can tell by the way we look at each other that I am his mate and the queen-to-be.

Oh no! I'm the queen-to-be! I can't do that! I can't lead an entire species and then some (werewolves control all supernaturals that shift into another form or are half human and half animal).

I stop dancing and look into his eyes, they hold great confusion.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do this." Then I run out of the ballroom and out of the castle. I can hear him chasing me, but I don't stop or slow down.

After about twenty minutes of running I trip over a root because of the six inch heels Tammie made me wear, but before I can fall, two strong arms catch me and set me on my feet.

Tyler is staring at me with so much hurt in his eyes it makes me want to cry, before hiding it with a blank face.

"Why did you run?" He asks, letting all the emotion back in through his voice.

"I..I.. I can't be a queen." I say looking down.

"I don't know the first thing about royalty, and you deserve someone so much better... I just can't, I didn't even want a mate." I say, by the end of my little speech my wolf is howling so loud my head is pounding.

I look up into his eyes,

"I will help you in anyway possible, everything I can't teach you, my mother will. There is no need to be scared, it's a lot to take on, I know, but you're my mate.... I need you." He mumbled.

Did the Alpha King just say he needed me? Me, the wolf from Minnesota that boys don't even give a second look to? He needs me?

"What?" I ask in total disbelief. "I need you. Me and my wolf both need you. God, you already have me wrapped around your finger and I don't even know your name." He chuckles to himself.

We sit in silence for a while until I brake it,

"Claire." I say.

He looks up at me,

"What?"

"My name, it's Claire." I say again.

"Claire." he says trying it out, I involuntary shiver when he says it .

"I like it." He states.

"I'm sure you already know me, but I'm Tyler Wolf." He says.

"Yeah, I know." I said back.

After the whole running away thing, we walk back to the ball. When we get there people are waiting anxiously for our return. Once they spot us, the swarm around Tyler and I asking millions of questions.

I'm feeling very overwhelmed until Tyler bellows,

"EVERYONE BACK AWAY, thank you. Yes I have found my mate, the future queen, her name is Claire and she will begin training for her new position as soon as possible. Now I hate to spoil anyone's night, but I must ask you all to leave." Everyone then started to leave, curiosity still burning in their eyes.

I saw Tammie running towards me and Tyler.

"Omg! Your mate is Tyler Wolf!! This means we get to keep living together, because my mate is Ben!! Ahh!! I'm so happy!!" She screamed.

"Tammie! Tammie! Call down! I know it's exciting, but you need to chill." I say with a little chuckle.

Ben appears next to her and puts an arm around her waist.

"You found your mate to?" Ben asked my mate.

"Yup, and she's amazing." Tyler said smiling down at me. I blushed crimson red.

Then I thought of something,

"Hey Tammie? Where is Ashton?" I question.

"I don't-" but she was cut off by Ashton's running form,

"I'm here, I'm here!" He said out of breath.

Tyler and Ben pulled me and Tammie closer to their sides and growled at Ashton.

"Who is he??" Tyler growled out.

"He's my best friend since I was little, don't growl at him." I said sassily.

Everyone just stared at me is disbelief, probably because I just told off the Alpha King, but I wasn't even scared, he was my mate after all.

"Oh my little mate will be the end of me." Tyler mumbled.

So... do you like it??
