Princess Neoma then was led by the Alpha King going to the cabana. And, as they entered it, he quickly picked up a chair and assists her to sit. They sat on the chair rounding the table, across from each other.
In one hand compass, a palace maid came near the Alpha King.
“We are ready to have our dinner, tell the Chief Maid to serve our food,” he commanded to the maid who instantly nodded in obedience. After a while, food was served to them. They started to eat and then silence once again reigned between them.
As they finished eating, Princess Neoma suddenly remembered that she did not know yet the complete name of this Alpha King whom she just shared with, with a romantic dinner.
“So, can you tell me now, who are you?” Princess Neoma asked after sipping some water. She looked into his eyes directly and his eyes turned to all white. And, by that, he gave her the access to see everything about him. It was like movie scenes and as the scenes progresses, Princess Neoma’s eyes were getting wider and wider with shock.
As he closed his eyes, Princess Neoma seemed like being frozen in her seat. She was indeed a fool to have been easily caught through a romantic ploy.
“You made a fool out of me, Alpha King Burkoo. You are the Alpha King of this Kingdom, the Ecleteon Kingdom. The werewolf Kingdom that my family despised the most,” Princess Ivory said as she stood up ready to defend herself, should every werewolf will attack her.
Alpha King Burkoo opened his eyes and looked at her again. This time his eyes returned to their natural color of deep brown ones. “Please sit down, Princess Neoma. I will not harm you, nor any of the werewolves here,” he said in his soft and enticing voice.
“If you are not going to harm me or use me against my family, then what is your purpose in bringing me here?” Princess Neoma asked furiously.
“I could never hurt you. I just wanted to be with you,” Alpha King Burkoo said tenderly and with love in his eyes as he looked at Princess Neoma.
“I could not understand you. We are mortal enemies! And when I was in my younger years, I already saw you, hanging around as if observing me. I don’t know who you are at that time nor when we come here, although I have an unconfirmed hint. Now tell me the truth, is this the opportune time that you were waiting for to avenge to our family the death of your Alpha King Father, named Burkano?” Princess Neoma said again with a strip of boldness in her every word.
She is not afraid and Alpha King Burkoo could sense it. He knew her capacity and he knew further that he should not anger her or else, his whole Kingdom will be at a stake. A different tactic is needed.
“I have been following you, observing you, yes that was true. It was because the first time I saw you, although you were still young at that time, I already sense it, my wolf sensed it. Princess Neoma, you are my fated mate; the one chosen for me by the Moon Goddess,” he said softly while looking into her with that same loving look, a while ago.

With disbelief, Princess Neoma wanted to spit into his face. “You are lying Alpha King Burkoo. I can feel you have a plan. A plan to use me to avenge against my family. I will not allow you to do that!” Princess Neoma made a deep breath and thought to just disappear in front of him and go back to the Glodeous Kingdom. But before she could disappear, the Alpha King already grabbed her and kissed her.
Shocked, Princess Neoma’s mind suddenly stopped functioning. What she could feel at the moment is the soft lips of Alpha King Burkoo in contrast with his hard chest and muscular arms encircling her shoulders, pulling her closer to him. After a few moments, Princess Neoma was already kissing him back in the most innocent way she could. It make Alpha King Burkoo to be more aggressive as he deepened his kisses to her.
Alpha King Burkoo, wanted to kiss her from the time they met at the restaurant’s parking area, but he controlled himself. He does not want to shock her as she might outright run away from him.
Getting the response he needed, he even hugged her tighter and did not give her the chance to just disappear from his sight.
“Neoma, you are my mate, please believe me,” he murmured to her and she shyly looked down. He could not look at him. She felt so embarrassed to have been carried away by his kisses.
Suddenly, there was silence between them. All they could hear was the loud thumping of their hearts. It is as if they felt the same way.
"Princess Neoma, please don't leave yet, I will bring you home," he murmured again.
"Bring me home? Would you want my King Father and Queen Mother plus my twin brother to see you? No, you cannot bring me home," she said while crossing her arms around her bosom.
"Then let me bring you at least nearby your palace," he insisted.
"Alpha King Burkoo, I don't need a car. I can return to our palace by merely thinking about it," Princess Neoma said with her chin being held up.
"I know, you can do that. I know how powerful you are my Princess. But may I request not to use it? Let us do things like we are normal beings without any power, whatsoever."
Princess Neoma sighed but nodded in the end. "Alright. But if I could sense my life in danger Alpha King Burkoo, you know what I am going to do. I will just concentrate and think that your whole Kingdom is on fire and it will happen," she said threatening him, which made him chuckle.
