Chapter twenty-eight

Riley's POV:

It's been five days since the last time I saw Alec and it's been torture!

Well, I think calling it torture would make me a horrible person and somewhat a liar.

Six days ago, Alec and I came to my parents to have dinner so my family would meet my mate. Because Alec would leave me here to spend a whole week with my family to catch up and bond. We talked about doing this every month but so far it's been five days and I miss Alec terribly. I am seriously thinking of doing it in just three days.

I remember that at first, my family was behaving awkwardly, not able to stop themselves from bowing and referring to him as "your highness", but later I told them that it would be as if they were calling me "princess" because after all, I am mated to the crowned prince. That seemed to encourage them to try harder and at the end of the night, my dad was showing Alec his collection of bikes that I totally forgot and I was all over them drooling like a kid in a comic book store.
