Chapter 3

Andrew POV

We checked into the hotel. Derric has rent the whole upper level for us. I don't mind I like my privacy. Emelia and Derric went to their rooms while Edward and I went to check out the hotel bar.

Since this is a human hotel we still need to be careful showing our real self but that did not mean that I will not take a girl to my hotel room. Yes I know that is a shitty thing to do but I am a male for Pete's sake. I don't expect my mate to be a virgin either. We all have needs as long as she doesn't cheat on me after we meet then I am fine with her past. 

Edward and I stand in front of the bar scoping out the place.

"Those girls are looking at you." Edward nod in the direction of the girls.

"They look too easy. You know I want to work for it. I can smell their arousal from here."

Edward rolls his eyes at me. They have always classified me as a man whore which is probably true but I like to hunt my prey. Where is the fun in it if the girls come to you. I know werewolves are the sexiest species on earth but damn keep yourself worth intact. men should be the hunters, not the woman.

We have been at the bar for 2 hours and not one female has caught my eye. 9 females have come and flirted with me and when I didn't give them what they want they turned to Edward. Except Edward is still a virgin so he is waiting for his mate. 

We both decide to back to our rooms since I could get lucky tonight. Inside my room, I lie down on my bed and try to sleep but since I slept on the plane I couldn't fall asleep. I take out my laptop and start playing some games. I love to play raid shadow legends. I am no gamer but I do love to play on my downtime which is not a lot.

I am woken by a knock on my door. I wonder when I fell asleep. I see my laptop still on my bed. It is a wonder that it didn't fall off during the night. I get up and walk towards the door. I open my door and Emelia is standing outside the door.

"Hey Em. why are you up so early?" She looks at me genuinely confused.

"O my dear it is not early. It is already 2 pm. I was starting to get worried since you missed breakfast and Edward said you both came up real early last night." Why does she always sound like she is speaking to a small child when she speaks to me.

"I am fine Emelia. I just couldn't fall asleep last night. I don't even remember falling asleep last night."

"That's fine. While I am here I just want to remind you that we are leaving in 2 hours. "

"Thank you, Em." She smiles at me and turns around to go back to her room. I am glad she woke me up when she did otherwise I would easily have overslept.

I pick up the hotel phone and ordered me some food.  I haven't eaten since yesterday morning so I am hungry. I decided I am only going to get a turkey sandwich since there will be food at the ball and I don't want to overeat myself.

30 minutes later they arrive with my sandwich. I quickly eat my food and went to take a shower. I love parties but I hate going to balls since I have to wear a tuxedo. I don't see the point of it anyway. This ball is only to show off. Each year the host tries to outshine the previous host.

After my shower, I stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom. I gelled my hair and brushed my teeth. I walked into my room and took my tuxedo out of the suitcase. Luckily I had it pressed before we left yesterday. I also take out my dress shoes after I got dressed in my tuxedo.

I look at my clock and see I have 10 minutes left so I put on my shoes and texted Derric that I will be waiting for them in the lobby. 

We have arrived at the royal castle 10 minutes early. After they announced us we walked into the hall. We start mingling with the other werewolves that are present. Mostly all the unmated supernatural are present except for the Alpha, Beta, and third in command couples. We have to be here no exception. I look around hoping to find someone that looks interesting to talk to. 

I see a young fairy walking towards me.

"Hi, my name is Celia. I'm the sister of the fairy queen."

"Hello, Celia. My name is Edward I am the Beta of the dark moon pack."

"So you are a werewolf. No wonder you look so hot." I look at her astounded at what she just said. Fairies are usually shy creatures. I have never met a fairy so straight forward.

"So tell me Edward do you have a mate?"

"No, actually I was hoping to meet her tonight or maybe in the next few months. I am planning a trip to go look for her." The hopeful look in her eyes is fading but like I said I like to do the hunting. The most tantalizing smell hits my nose. I sniff the air trying to find the way it is coming. I turn toward the smell.

I see the announcer walking towards the door and opening it.

"Presenting Princess Sapphire Cline and Charles Gordon."

"Mate." My wolf Fenris makes himself known. He basically growled out that word.

In walks the most amazing looking woman I have ever seen. She has fire-red hair. And finally, it dawned on me he said the princess. O my goodness my mate is the vampire princess.
