Wolf Bodyguard’s Possessive Desires (Shifter Daddies Mates #13)
Chapter 1
Chapter One
Fiona
Love. Sex. Power.
It is the one thing that has dominated my life, but I have had no part in any of it. I have never had sex in my entire life, nor have I found someone to love. It’s a little embarrassing, watching the women around me finding the love of their lives. I long for that but as the Wolf Princess where no man is going to want me and has only been for selfish reasons right now.
My stomach churns as I am watching the party rage around me, the bodies moving together in intricate dances that move around like nothing I have seen before. The pheromones are mixing in the air, preparing for someone to find their mate.
I long for it.
“Fiona, what’s wrong?” Dad asks me softly, a gentle look on his handsome face that I would never be able to get over, “You are looking a little lost.”
I don’t know how to answer him because I’m worried about him getting upset with me about it, “honestly, it sucks that everyone around me is finding mates but I’m unable to find anything like that. As the Princess, I have a dedication to my country, and I need to find the right person, but I don’t know if it is going to happen like that.”
Dad frowns and I’m sure he knows precisely how I’m feeling but I don’t know how to make it more common with what I’m saying. After everything that has happened so far, it’s like nothing I have ever wanted, and it sucks.
“Well, your new bodyguard is around here so maybe you should start mingling.” Dad promises me, a gentle smile on his face once again as he is trying to reassure me, “I know we were dealing with that bad person, but I can assure you that I hired the best of the best. Go out there and enjoy yourself, Fiona, don’t allow yourself to be dragged down by the fears of what might come from it.”
I knew that he would be finding me a bodyguard, but I didn’t expect it so soon. After the stalking incident, I knew he was worried about allowing someone else close to me so I’m sure he has hired the best of the best. I don’t know what I’m going to do because I’ve never met my bodyguard, but I suppose I just need to trust dad and not let anything else stand in my way.
Sighing softly, I run my fingers through my hair and I’m just trying to do my own thing. I have no clue what is going to come from it, but it is making me feel weird.
Rising to my feet, I head down onto the dancefloor, seeing how everyone is giving me space. I have no idea what I’m going to do or how I’m going to find a mate because it seems like nobody wants to be around me. It’s not even surprising at this point because I am the Princess, and everyone is afraid of upsetting me because it would end up being a lot more dangerous.
Truthfully, I have no idea what I’m going to do about it.
I just long for a lot more. I need everything more with what I’m dealing with. Making my way over to the food section, my stomach churns when I realize that all eyes are on me. I have no clue what is going to come from it but I’m just longing for a lot more. Maybe I will be able to attract my mate, but I have no idea if that’ll end up happening. I ache for a lot more because if this ended up biting me in the butt, I have no clue what is going to end up coming from it.
“Hello.” A voice suddenly breaks me out of my thoughts, nearly making me jump clear out of my skin, “I didn’t expect you to come down here.”
I look over and I see a pretty handsome man staring at me and he is really close. There’s no reason for him to be close to me but I’m trying to not let it get to me because it would end up doing a lot worse to me. It’s like nothing I have ever felt before and it is driving me crazy almost, desperate for a lot more. It makes me smile because maybe I am finally getting some attraction towards me.
“I just wanted to look around.” I tell him, hoping that I could be a bit of a flirt, but I highly doubt it’s working out for me, “I don’t get to come down here very often, so this is a bit of an experience for me.”
I don’t know if I’m even making an impression but I’m doing my best to do so. I don’t think that I have ever done anything like this in my entire life and it is driving me a little crazy. I long for so much more, wanting to be close to someone and he seems to be pretty nice.
“Well, would you like to dance?” He finally asks me, surprising me because no one is this bold, “I’d like to make sure that our Princess is having a good time.”
Wow, he is definitely a charmer.
I should say no but I’m trying to maintain a distance between us where it wouldn’t end up biting me in the butt. I’m not completely sure what would come from it, but I’m worried about what might end up happening next the best that I can. After everything that has happened, I want to take a chance, but I have no idea where that chance is going to take me. If it is even going to be a good thing or not because of everything else.
I suppose only time is going to be able to tell me where to go from here.
“Sure, I’d love to dance.” I finally agree with him, taking his outstretched hand and hoping for the best, “thank you.”
I try to not let it get to me that we are being stared at, the nerves getting to me a little bit but I’m trying not to worry. I have to maintain a certain image and I can’t let anyone dare to infiltrate it and make me out to be something that I’m not. I’m not quite sure if they can tell what is going on in my head but after everything that has happened so far, it’s like nothing I have experienced before. It’s an ache that has filled me on the inside and it is driving me a little nuts. I need a lot more right now but I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do about it.
“You dance beautifully.” He compliments me, his hands on my waist as it is definitely making me feel a little weird, “truthfully, I have no idea what is going to come from this but I’m glad that you’re giving me a good time of day. I am the Duke of Ashford, Steven.”
“It’s nice to meet you.” I say softly, my stomach churning because it’s like nothing I have felt before, “I’m glad that you like spending time with me. Most people are afraid to be around me.”
My stomach is churning because I have no idea what is going to end up coming from it. After everything that has happened, I’m just curious to see if maybe he might be an eligible mate. He is maintaining a perfect gentleman image, but I have no clue what is going to come from it. Licking my bottom lip, I have no idea what is going to come from it but I’m not entirely certain.
I just hope that I’m going to be able to do what I can.
“You’re a nice dancer as well.” I murmur softly, bringing forward everything that has happened, “I mean, most people are scared of me. I don’t know what makes me so scared because it is probably because I am royalty if I’m being completely honest.”
I have no idea what is going to happen, but he is just moving our bodies around, gliding around the dancefloor. My heart is pounding in my chest, not completely certain what will come from it, but I will do everything that I can to just go along for the ride.
I never realized who is watching us and staring at me like he is going to devour me whole.
