Canada

Canada

Damon's P O V

Moving inside other packs that aren't ours I'll admit is quite risky, but I'm supposed to meet Matthew, somewhere. I can't go anywhere without my Beta even if I want to. He'll always wanna stick beside me, although it's all for my protection.

We met him in a border between Dove and Light pack. He handed me a small bag and shook his head.

“Is everything in there?”

“Yes, you should be careful. There are guards stationed everywhere at the border, don't come back to the pack. You should go straight from here.”

I farrowed my brows at his words.

“Go straight from here? What does that mean?” I demanded.

“I need to put some things together, man. I can't come with you now.” He explained.

“No, he'll also imprison you if he sees you. Don't tell me you intend to act crazy.” I rolled my eyes.

“It's not that, trust me. I'll meet you there in three days. Take care,” he looked down at Aria's sleepy form and back at me before running off.

He is acting weird. He has been acting a little unusual recently, tho.

“Hey, wake up. You can't sleep now.” I gently shook her.

“I'm exhausted. When are we getting there yet?” She mumbled, her eyes still closed.

I chuckled and removed a strand of hair that was covering her eyes.

“Soon.” I need to get to warrior pack airport. Once I show them my visa, they'll grant me an immediate flight.

“Okay, can you hop on my back?” Her eyes widened at my question, and she moved back speedy.

“No.no, thanks, your Highness.” I frowned at the way she answered and flinched back.

“Your Highness?” I scoffed.

I think I still need to do a lot of explaining to her, but now, I have to get to this pack's airport.

As soon as the plane started flying, she rested her head on my shoulder and slept off again.

She must be exhausted, I wonder how she got to the woods. I thought she was going to be saved inside her room but stupid me.

I'll ask her once we get there.

Aria's P O V

Stepping out of the car that was already waiting for us at the airport, we entered a large building, and he took me towards a lady who was standing behind a desk.

The lady's eyes widened on seeing him, and I can hear her heartbeat increase a lot as she spoke with him.

What's with all the excitement? Do they know each other?

Her behaviour on seeing him is quite disgusting if you'd ask me.

She handed him a card, and he started pulling me in a direction.

We entered what we call an elevator, and it took us up. I've never been in an elevator, so riding it for the first time was quite enjoyable.

I still don't know where we are, tho.

I lift my head to look at him in question.

“Do you know where we are?” I gently begged.

“Yes, we are in Canada presently.” A gasp left my lips.

“In Canada? That's too far from home.”

“Don't be scared, remember that you are with me. I'll protect you.” His words soothed my troubling heart and made me calm.

Honestly, I still can't believe that we are mates.

I didn't know he was attempting to tell me that we were mates, although I suspected he was referring to me in some parts, but what happened earlier today?

It still feels like a dream.

Whenever as those three men were endeavouring to force themselves on me? I tried fighting them back, but something was holding me back.

Something made me weak, aside from the silver chains that were tied around my legs. Something else was making me fragile and vulnerable.

While attempting to fight them off, a sweet, delicious scent hit my nostrils and I struggled to concentrate on defending myself from the rapist.

My heart started rising rapidly, and more fear engulfed me as the scent grow stronger and stronger until I saw him.

The crown prince, coming to me with all seriousness and worry in his eyes.

Watching him fight and murder gave me goosebumps, but what gave me more goosebumps was the fact that the king and the others arrived while he was tearing the last man into pieces without mercy.

I also know the rules, so I became petrified for him. No one was above the laws of the land.

I got angry at myself for getting him in trouble and regretted not doing anything to help myself earlier.

“Ariana!” I snapped my head towards him at his loud voice.

“What are you thinking of?” We were now standing in front of the elevator.

“Uh… Nothing,” I mumbled.

“Come, let's go in.” He gave me a look that shows that he doesn't believe me, but still shrugged it off.

We walked for a little while, passing numerous rooms before we arrive at a door.

He scanned the card along the doorknob before the door gave way.

“Come.” He pulled me inside with him and locked the door.

“Where is this…”

My mouth flew open in a loud gasp.

I thought this will be a room, how come it even has stairs that lead up? I thought we were in a hotel.

“Yes, it's a hotel.” As if he read my thought, which of course, he did. He answered.

“We both need a long shower, they'll be bringing our food in two hours.” He continued pulling me with him up the stairs.

We got to a short hallway and stopped.

There is a room on the left side and another on the right side.

“We'll be using this room.” He announced and opened the door.

Wait, we? I looked up at him with wide eyes.

“Yes, there are only three rooms here. The one down will be used by the temporary servant I'll hire, this one facing us will be used by Matthew. Or do you want to sleep in the same room with Matthew?” He gave me a confused look.

“No,” I slowly shook my head and watched as he closed the door.

“Do you want to bathe first? Although, there aren't any clothes here. I've requested a few clothes. Later we can go to the mall and get something.”

“No, you can bathe first," I speak.

“Okay, if you say so.” He left the bag that he has been carrying on the bed and started pulling off his clothes.

I peeled my eyes away from him and used that chance to look around the beautifully decorated room.

It's quite tasteful. Although it's not as beautiful as his room back at home, it's still excellent.

And there is only a single sofa here.

A door started opening, and I snapped my head towards the direction to see him on short.

“This is the bathroom. I've been here once, so…” he smiled and entered the bathroom.

I exhaled and sat down on the bed.

I lie down on my bed and close my eyes.

A loud sound came moments later, forcing me to sit up.

“It might be the clothes, go down and get it,” Damon says from the bathroom.

“Oh…okay,” I answered and walked to the door.

I opened it and got out to the small hallway, then I climbed down the stairs and got to the main door.

I turned the doorknob and opened it to see the lady from earlier that handed him the card, the one that couldn't stop smiling in excitement.

I came to hand the clothes to him, she looked ahead of me and made to enter, but I blocked her.

“He is bathing,” I announce.

Her eyes finally settle on me, and she eyes me.

“Are you his maid or what?” She looked at me from head to toe.

Honestly, looking at my haggard self, you'll think that I'm a maid and obviously, which I am until many hours ago.

“I'm not.” I snatched the small bag she is holding and slammed the door close.

How dare she? She is a mere human.

How dare she call me a maid? It's annoying, even tho I know she said the truth.

I heard a chuckle from behind me and turned to look at him descending the stairs.

“Already picking up a fight, my little mate?” I looked down in embarrassment.

Does he have to catch me doing this?

He got to me and collected the bag from me.

“Alright, let's see the clothes she got.” He opened the bag but kept bringing out male clothes.

“Oh…that bitch. I somehow knew she'll do something like this.” He mumbled to himself.

“Don't worry, we'll go get you something tomorrow. You'll just sleep in one of my shirts tonight. Is that okay?”

I bobbed my head in response. It's not like I have a choice or something.

He handed me his shirt, which will be big on me.

“Go shower, wear this after showering.” I collected the cloth from him with thanks before leaving for the shower.

“Dinner will be ready before you come back.” He added as I climbed the stairs to the room.

I entered the room and went into the bathroom, then locked it. I checked to confirm whether it was locked and after confirming it, I kept the clean dress aside and pulled my dirty maid clothes off.

I went under the shower and let warm water run down my body.

A moan escaped my lips at the complete euphoria feeling I'm experiencing.

*

I cleaned my body and throw on the white shirt before I started buttoning it. After adjusting the clothes, I find out how big it was on me.

It stops at my thigh, it's good enough.

I folded my old wears and dumped them down at a corner as my stomach growled out in anger.

“Food is coming.” I touched my stomach and mumbled.

I come out to the bedroom but, as expected, don't find him in.

I should go down for dinner. I opened the door and started heading down, ignoring my still wet hair that keeps wetting my body and cloth.

“Here," he shouted, and I followed his voice to a corner I didn't know was there.

I haven't looked around this sitting room, tho.

I saw him sitting at a small dining table.

“Here, sit down.” He pointed at the chair beside him and I sat down.

He pushed several covered plates towards me.

“Here, it's your dinner. I know you must be starving. I apologize for that.”

“No, I'm not hungry.” I shook my head.

But my angry stomach let out another loud growl. I took my face down, feeling so ashamed, but I only heard him chuckle.

“You need to get fat before we leave here. Come on, take.” He kept pushing numerous covered plates towards me.

“Eat.” He persuaded.

I reached for the closest plate and uncovered it. I also uncovered the second and the third.

“I don't know what you'd love, so I order a lot. You can eat up. Eat everything if you want, remember I want you to add weight.” He stood up after saying these and then went upstairs.

I started with the one that seems like fried rice and began devouring it speedily.

I jerked when I felt something touch my head.

“Calm down, it's a towel. I need to dry your hair.” He immediately whispered, instantly calming me down.

I continued eating, but slowly this time, as he dried my hair.

He sat down after drying my hair to watch me eat. I became really shy and ate more slowly, but it doesn't seem like he'll be looking away any time soon.

I tried at some point to ignore his eyes and continue eating.

I stiffened when his hand slowly landed on my face, and he caressed me gently.

“Why did I ever think that you were not that beautiful?” I heard him mumble.

My heart picked up a pace at his words.

“You are so beautiful.” He whispered, his hand still on my face.
