Chapter 33


    Mine – The Alpha’s Possession By Kylie CHAPTER 33


    Every event in this castle was a different dress code. So, the dress that I was wearing during the day


    was not appropriate to wear at dinner. So, I needed to change into something a little more formal and


    then I left my bedroom and I started walking to the dining hall on the first floor.


    I walked past a room that had a door that was slightly cracked open and I heard two men in their


    arguing about something.


    “Listen. We’ve got the princess here, what else do you want?” One of them asked.


    “It’s not just enough to have the princess here. If we want to remain in the good graces of the King,


    then you need to do everything you can to make sure that she falls in love with you.” The older man


    says.


    “I know. That’s what you’ve been telling me for thest year. Once we get the


    princess back then I have to try as hard as anything to marry her. But this isn’t a fight between me and


    the princess. This is just about you wanting to maintain your status in the castle.” The younger man


    said.


    “What’s wrong with that. I need to keep my status here. And you are my only hope. If the King finds out


    the truth about our family, then we are done. You are my only hone son.” The older man says.


    “I don’t like bringing the princess into this. This is not her fault. This has nothing to do with her.’ The


    younger man says.


    “Well, you make sure that it does have something to do with her. Otherwise, I will be banished and I


    don’t know what the King will do to you.” The older man says.


    “He won’t do anything to me because I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t go behind his back, did I? And


    I didn’t know that you were going to do it either. He will know that.” The younger man says.


    “Just finish getting ready. We’re alreadyte for dinner.” The older man says. So, I quickly moved away


    from the door and kept walking down the hallway until I got to the dining room.


    Vincent was already there, standing by therge windows looking out at the vige. But when he turned


    around to look at me he smiled at me warmly.


    “Another beautiful gown for a beautiful girl.” He says walking over to me and holding my hands.


    “Thank you, Vincent. I hope you don’t mind me calling you that. I’m not used to the whole father thing


    yet.” I say.


    “It’s perfectly okay. You go at your own pace. I know that all of this ispletely new to you.” He says.


    “Having a father that actually cares about me is somethingpletely new to me.” I say.


    “Well, you never have to see Thomas again if you don’t want to.” He says. 1


    “Well, that is the dream.” I say looking out the window as well. And the vige down below looked


    beautiful from where we were standing.


    “What do you think? One day, this will all be yours.” He says.


    “I can’t believe that. It’s amazing. I walked through the vige today but from up here it looks


    completely different. “I say.


    “The people here are so excited that you’vee home. They really are. They can’t believe that it’s


    taken so long.” He says.


    “Well, here I am. I can’t wait to meet them too.” I say and Vincent turns around when we hear other


    people walking into the dining room.

    “Oh. Taylor. I want you to meet my right- hand man. This is Alec and his son Stefan. “Vincent says. And


    I took a deep breath before I turned around to face them.


    “Hello.” I say as calmly as possible. But I had to say, Stefan was very attractive looking. If anyone was


    going to screw me over, then I was d that he wasn’t an ugly piece of shit.


    “It’s so nice to finally meet you, Princess. Alec walked over and held my hand and kissed it.


    “Hello Princess.” Stefan says bowing to


    “Well, let’s all have a seat.” Vincent says. So, we all sat at the huge table but we were all at the same


    end. Vincent was at the head of the table and Alec was right on his left side. I was on his right side and


    Stefan was right beside me.


    The servants bought the food out and ced it in front of us and filled our sses with wine. Which I


    didn’t hesitate to get into.


    “Easy sweetheart. I don’t want you getting drunk straight away.” Vincent says.


    “I wish. I’m a werewolf, remember. We don’t get drunk unless we guzzle about I say. And four bottles of


    vodka at once he shook his head.


    “That’s right. Werewolves have fast a metabolism.” He says.


    “Yeah. So, no unwarranted misbehaving from us.” I say smiling at him.


    “I am very happy to hear that. I guess any father would.” Vincent saysughing and Alecughed along


    with him. But I just looked at Alec.


    “Stefan. How about after dinner you take Taylor to look at the gardens around the castle. They are quite


    beautiful at night time.” Alec says.


    “It would be an honour. If the princess would like to.” Stefan says.


    “Sure. I suppose that won’t hurt.” I say. And Alec smiled widely at his son. But I looked down at my


    te and kept eating without saying anything else.


    If they were going to use me in their little games then they obviously didn’t know who they were dealing


    with. And that was my advantage. I overheard them talking, but they know absolutely nothing about


    me. And I need to find out what Alec did to my father that was going to get him banished. He was


    desperate enough to use his own son to get out of it, so it must be pretty bad. I guess there were


    assholes. in every realm. No matter where you went.


    Once dinner was over Stefan stood pulled my chair out for me and he up and crooked his arm for me to


    put my arm through it and we left the dining hall and left the men talking business.


    Stefan led me out of the castle and around the side where I hadn’t seen yet. Alec was right. The


    gardens were beautiful. But it was really dark around here. I could see better than Stefan because of


    werewolf vision, but Stefan waved his arm in the air and suddenly there were tiny little twinkle lights


    floating above our heads. that lit up the garden.


    “Wow. You have got to teach me how to do that.” I say in amusement while looking at the lights.


    “You don’t know how to use any of your fae powers?” He asked.


    “No. Can’t say that I do.” I replied looking back at him and he was smiling at me.


    “It would be an honour to teach you. Everyone in this realm should know at least a few things.” He


    says.


    “Thank you. I really appreciate that.” I say.


    “Don’t mention it.” He says.


    We walked over to one of the garden beds that was made of stone, and I sat down and looked over the


    edge and all the way down the mountain that led to the castle was forest. It looked even more


    incredible to me. But I had an attachment to the woods that no one else here could understand.


    Apparently, I was the only werewolf in this realm. So, I guess that made me even a little bit more


    special.


    “So, how are you finding this ce so far? ” Stefan asked sitting next to me.


    “Well, it’s definitely different. It will take me a while to get used to it.” I say.


    “I can imagine. This realm has only existed for 12 years so I was 9 when we came here. I remember


    Earth and everything that happened there. Buting here was sopletely different. And everyone


    just embraced it. I hope you embrace it too.” Stefan says looking me straight in the face.


    “I hope so too. I’m not quite used to the dresses yet. But I guess that’s a minor detail.” I say looking


    away from his intense gaze.


    “You don’t need to be shy around me. I understand.” He says. No, you don’t. You don’t understand that


    I ampletely fucking with you here by ying the princess in distress and in desperate need of a


    friend. Just wait until I find out the truth. No one tries to fuck with me and gets away with it.


    “I’m not really shy. I’ve never been shy. I think it’s just been a really long day.” I say.


    “Of course it has. You’ve only just gotten here. How about we head back inside. We can look at the


    gardens another time.”


    “I’d like that. We cane back out tomorrow.” I say.


    “Absolutely. I’ll let your housemaid know which room is mine so that we can keep in contact.” He says.


    “Oh. You live here in the castle.” I say surprised.


    “Yeah. On the second floor. Away from your room and the King’s room. It’s not proper to have two


    teenagers of different genders living too close together.” He says standing up and giving me his arm


    again to hold.1


    “No. I guess that wouldn’t be proper.” I say. All of these rules and what’s proper and not proper, it


    definitely made me feel like I was living in the 1300’s or something like that. It was weird, but something


    that I would need to get used


    When we walked back inside I said goodnight to Stefan and then to Alec and Vincent and I walked up


    to my room and I closed the door.


    As soon as I walked into my room I flopped face down on my bed and I started pulling at theces on


    my back because it felt like the corset was cutting off my air supply. But then I heard this weird buzzing


    noise.


    I looked up and tried to figure out where it wasing from before I looked at my bedside table. I


    opened it up and my phone was going off.


    “Hello.” I answered after picking it up. But there was a lot of static in the phone and it was a little hard to


    hear.


    “Taylor. Oh my god, is that really you?” Jackson asked.
