King Lucian's engagement to the princess of the neighboring kingdom was a surprise to all. All of his people had assumed he would wait to find his fated mate, after all he was still young but they were wrong.

To distract the kingdoms attention from the matter, his advisors told him to throw an engagement party and invite everyone.

Of course an event of this size would require lowly commoners to be servants, commoners like you.

You got lucky, actually ending up in the banquet hall inside with the most important people including King Lucian himself and his bride to be.

As you pass around the appetizers and drinks a noble bumps into you and you spill everything. He starts yelling at you and the commotion attracts the eyes of everyone in the hall including the King's.

King Lucian walks over and as your eyes meet his, you feel the pull. The overwhelming feeling of being with him and being his mate. He feels it too.

He grabs your wrist and yanks you up from the floor with his eyes red in fury.
