The Duke and The Werewolf Princess novel Chapter 2

“Did someone enter the territory?”

After some time many voices ran through his head and his hands were clenched into fists.

“How did it happen?” He growled and his pack trembled.

“She is here for Duke Arthur ’s wedding, so we couldn’t stop her as the officials have allowed her to enter.”

Eremis shook his head and sent another message to his mind.

“Keep a close watch on her and make sure she leaves right after the wedding.”

Eremis opened his eyes looked at Marcela’s sleeping form and caressed her face lovingly.

He was worried about her but he couldn’t show her his fear as he had promised his father that he would protect her no matter what happens.

He was hoping that Marcela would meet a good guy and fall in love with him and was expecting Arthur to propose to her but Arthur ended up falling in love with Alpha Ariel’s sister, who was from the mountain kingdom in the Netherlands and was a ruthless Alpha but in the human world he was a very famous businessman and nobody could defeat his position as the top most tycoon around the world.

Marcela had made it clear to him that she did not have any feelings for Arthur. So Eremis was looking forward to finding her a good husband at the wedding. Their mother was a human who fell in love with their father and they mated that’s how Marcala was born but she was human. Whereas, Eremis was half human and half wolf and could transform anytime. He was very cautious around Marcela since he was a child as he did not want to scare Marcela.

Marcela had never known that her father was an Alpha king and hopefully wouldn’t know about it. That’s why Eremis was hoping she would find a good man for herself at the wedding and be happy as he couldn’t allow her to marry any Alpha as there were too many complications. And he wanted his sister to have a life full of happiness away from violence and war.

The bright reflection of lights filled the whole ballroom. It was supposed to be the best banquet in history given by the Knight family and everyone invited were all well-known families from Sweden and other parts of the world.

Duke Ariel Knight surveyed the ballroom of the palace. The band had just played a few numbers of the local folk song and a tune in waltz-time was a signal for the guest to take their partners for the first dance of the evening. the whole ballroom was filled with women who were wearing designer gowns made by famous designers and magnificent jewellery hung around their necks and ears as they walked with their partners towards the dance floor.

Ariel’s angular feature softened a little when he saw the bride. His half-sister, who was out showed the pieces of jewellery around her, her blazing happiness making Ariel feel uncomfortable like an intruder. She was quite a few younger than him, Alexia was born to her step-mother, whom his dad had married after her mother had died and although they had become good friends over the past few years, he never had a very close relationship with her because he had always been busy handling his business and his pack.

Ariel transferred his gaze to his brother-in-law, Duke of Norland, who was the alpha king of his pack and ruled over humans and wolves, just like him. Arthur wasn't given to displays of overt emotion but Ariel blinked at the other man's unguarded expression when he looked down at the woman in his arm. It was as though there was no one in the room but the two of them.
