Rescuing Me From Prince

Rhea’s P.O.V. (Continued)

“She is really strong as I heard about her”, this time it was the king. There was a hint of admiration in his heavy voice. “Yes… I agree with you. She is an omega. Still, she is able to stand here in front of us without shivering or struggling to breathe. Her core is strong like hers. She is born to lead”, I gasped when I heard the queen praising me. “Uhhh… my apologies, my queen, my king if I did something wrong. It’s not like I am not affected. Believe me, I am…. But I am standing here in front of you because prince Henry wanted me to meet you and I don’t want to be disrespectful to our future king’s wish”, I apologized to them first and then told them the reason for me being here truthfully.

I heard everyone around me chuckle. This meeting can’t be more awkward than it was already. “You don’t need to apologize, Rhea, because I admire your strength. Also, I am looking forward to seeing you fighting tomorrow. At first, I was really surprised when Alpha Hunter made that request. I want to see how you will defeat a fully grown warrior wolf in your human form”, the king spoke this time and the admiration in his tone was still evident. “There is nothing special about this, my king. It’s all about techniques and skills. I am not that skilled but I will try my best to prove my alpha’s trust in me right”, I replied to him in a respectful tone and also showed my determination to him.

He smiled and then looked at Prince Henry. “Henry, escort Rhea to the dining room. It’s almost time for dinner”, he instructed Prince Henry. I bowed in front of them before leaving the room with Prince Henry. “You impressed everyone”, Prince Henry said in an amusing tone. I just smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond to him right now. I was not good with conversation and he speaks a lot. “Rhea”, I heard him calling me again when I didn’t speak for a good few seconds. “Yes, my prince?” I replied to him in a polite tone.

“I asked you to call me Henry if we are in private and right now it’s only you and me”, he said in an annoying tone. “His wolf is trying to reach me, Rhea”, Moon said in a worried tone and I stopped in my way. “My apologies, my prince…. But I want to ask something”, I asked him in a firm tone but tried to keep my tone as low as possible. We were among so many werewolves and they could hear the lowest voice too. “What is it?” he asked me and I looked up this time, straight into his eyes. “My wolf… she said that … your wolf.. he approached her”, I told him the situation truthfully.

The smile on his lips vanished for a second but came back soon. “Yes… my wolf tried to reach her and to our surprise, she managed to block him. This is not what an omega wolf can do, Rhea”, he didn’t deny it and accepted it immediately, but his observation was not what I wanted here. “You can sense us, my prince. I am born from two omega wolves and my grandparents were also omegas. There is nothing to hide here about my true self here”, I replied to him in a firm but respectful tone. He slightly narrowed his eyes as if he was trying to reach my soul.

“You are an interesting girl, Rhea, and your wolf”, he said in a calm tone and mentioned her again. “What’s her name?” he asked me and I took a deep breath internally. He was a prince, a royal, and I couldn’t refuse if he asks me something. We were outside the room in the corridor which had separated the dining room from the previous room. “Rhea”, I heard alpha Hunter’s voice and thanked him internally because I really didn’t want to reply to Prince’s question.

But I forgot to breathe when I caught the familiar scent. My whole body trembled a little and I slowly moved behind me. “Alpha”, I bowed my head in respect in front of them while keeping my tone formal. I was trying hard to keep my voice normal when I was trembling inside. “My Prince”, I heard Alpha Hunter greeting Prince Henry. My heart started beating furiously when the third person came near to me and stood beside me. “Alpha Hunter… we meet again”, Prince Henry greeted Alpha Hunter in a cheerful tone but I kept my eyes low while clasping my hands behind my back. My palms were sweaty now and all I wanted was to run away from here.

“It’s pleasure to meet you, prince Henry. I was actually looking for Rhea. I need her for some company’s business”, alpha Hunter told him his purpose for looking for me. “Company business?” prince Henry asked him in a confused tone. “Yes, my prince. She is also working as my PA and takes care of accounts too”, alpha Hunter told him about my work in the company in a prideful tone. “What’s wrong with everyone tonight?” Moon yelled in frustration in the back of my mind. “What happened?” I asked her in concern. Moon rarely showed frustration and this was that rare occasion. “His wolf is also trying to reach me”, she said in a frustrated tone and my body stiffened immediately.

His presence near me was already suffocating me. Now his wolf was trying to reach Moon. “Uhhh.. alpha.. I think we should go now. The king with others will be in the dining room soon”, I interrupted their conversation which I didn’t hear as I was busy talking with Moon. She never distracted me but tonight was an exception for both her and me. “I am taking my leave then Alpha Hunter and Rhea”, prince Henry said to alpha Hunter and then called me again. “Our conversation is not over and I am looking forward to resuming this conversation again sometime”, he said to me and I just bowed a little. “And Theo…. Meet me after dinner. We have something to discuss tomorrow’s ceremony”, prince Henry instructed Theo in a calm but firm tone. “Yes, my prince”, Theo confirmed his command in a firm tone.

“Let’s go”, I heard Theo saying this. “Yes, let’s go”, alpha Hunter said and then we started walking towards the dining room. I changed my side and went to the other side of alpha Hunter to increase the distance between me and Theo. I had to keep my distance from him. “Where did you go?” alpha Hunter asked me as soon as we entered the dining room. “Prince Henry brought me to the king and the queen, alpha”, I told him about my whereabouts earlier truthfully. “Did the king say anything to you?” he asked me and I nodded. I was still looking down at the ground in front of me.

“Yes, alpha. He told me about your request and he has granted your request”, I told him about my conversation with the king. “This is good. You have to be careful during the duel, Rhea. Your opponent is from Night Hunter Pack”, he warned me about my opponent. I took a deep breath and looked up in front of me this time. “What? Are you serious dad?” Theo suddenly exclaimed in disbelief. “What’s wrong with me, Theo?” alpha Hunter asked him angrily this time. “How can she fight with a warrior from the Night Hunter Pack, huh? You know their reputation. He will crush her within in a second”, Theo spat about me.

“Can I kick him so that I can show him what I am?” Moon yelled in anger this time. “Not now, Moon”, I calmed down my wolf in a calm tone and looked at alpha Hunter this time. “No, Moon will not fight, Rhea”, alpha Hunter immediately refused what I was going to say without listening to me. “Moon?” Theo asked him in confusion. I was really frustrated by his presence here now. His overbearing smell is already suffocating me and now his questions were blowing my mind.

“Her wolf… she can channel her energy with you during the duel but she will not surface and that’s an order, Moon for you”, alpha Hunter instructed me and Moon at the same time. “Yes, alpha”, both I and Moon spoke at the same time through me startling Theo. I was not looking at his face directly but I saw his eyes widening in shock in my peripheral vision. I smirk internally. He had a lot of surprises in the near future.
