Mrs. Webster took the rose and slowly removed the paper before she opened it and looked at it. "Your highness, you have combat first, this is good because then you could focus all your energy to eliminate your component."
"But I don't know how to fight."
"Didn't Mr. Bernard teach you some self-defense moves?"
"He did," Angel said.
"Also your instincts would also help you," Mrs. Webster said and then placed the piece of paper on the desk together with the rose, "Your highness you should get ready for bed to have a good rest. Good night," she said and then left the room.
Angel got up from the bed and started to undress, she then freshened up herself because she felt a little sticky then she dressed for bed, switched of the lights and laid down to sleep. Angel was very tired but for some reason she just couldn't fall asleep so she kept turning and twisting.

Leon had just returned to his room after the dinner meeting he had with one of the pack alpha's in City A. He rubbed his head as he remembered the words that the alpha had told him, 'If you allow one of my girls from my pack to be your wife I will support you in becoming the next king.'
However, Leon couldn't comply with his request because he was already married and if it was before he met Angel he would still have to meet the girls from his pack to see if he was interested in one of them.
He suddenly started to feel a headache coming on and he just wanted to lay down and rest but he was feeling both restless and strictly. Leon head to shower and took a relaxing long bath before changing into a comfortable pajama set.
Leon laid on the bed and closed his eyes, the first image he saw was how beautiful his wife looked that night and how many times she raised her dress exposing her shoes to him. He knew the first time was because her roommate pushed her and almost made her trip causing her to lose some points, the second time was when she was walking to the receptionist and from then every few seconds she would raise the dress.
It seemed like she wasn't sure if he saw it the first few times to give the okay for him to set up the examinations for her to be in City A instead. He wanted to ask her but he was trying to resist visiting since his yearning for her had been increasing and he had to control it because they would be three weeks apart from each other when this week of challenges end.
He tried to sleep and each time he almost drift away he would feel his wolf trying to take up, he finally consented to his wolf and went to his mate's room because his wolf was feeling restless and uneasy.
It was only when he stepped into the room he found her asleep but her sleep didn't seem to be peaceful because he could see her shifting on the bed constantly as though trying to find a comfortable spot.
This pained him, he wanted to regret marking her but he didn't because he felt if he didn't he would lose her even if she was his wife already. His wolf had been convincing him that even though the mark cannot be seen it didn't mean that she was not his mate but that it was probably what pushed her body to shift.
He quietly closed the door and climbed into bed with her, he felt her shift again on the bed until her back was touching his chest and then the shifting slow stopped. Leon lifted her head a bit as he rest his right hand under it and then he hugged her from the back with his left hand, he even heard her sigh and settled in more before he felt her tensed body relax and fall deep into slumber.
Leon wanted to leave as soon as she was completely asleep but every time he tried to leave she would snuggle more into him and her body would tense up again, and at one point she turned and wrapped her arms around him as to prevent him from leaving which eventually led him to giving up and sleeping with her.

The next morning Angel got up, she was afraid to open her eyes to see who it was she was hugging but curiosity eventually took over and she opened her eyes. There she saw him looking at her with a smirk on his face, "Good morning, you can let me go now."
Angel let him go immediately and bit her lip from embarrassment as she felt the heat rising on her cheeks, "Please don't do that," Leon said as he raised his left hand and pulled the lip she was biting out from under her teeth.
Angel could clearly see the way his eyes were darkening from just looking at her lips, it was like he wanted to be the one biting it. She quickly pulled the covers over her face to hide her lips since she wanted only her husband to be the one to kiss her.
Leon heard her muffled voice, "What are you doing here?"
"I just came to check on you last night, I saw you shifting around so I tried to see how I could help you get more comfortable. Who would have thought that you are a hugger?"
"Shut up," he heard her say but he was sure that her already pink cheeks were probably turning pinker. He wanted to see but he was afraid that he wouldn't control himself.
"I wouldn't come to your room anymore since I am afraid that the future king might want to kill me if he finds out that I slept with his wife. I don't want to die so young, anyway you should get up now and warm up. I am going before someone sees me," Leon said as he pulled his hand from under her head.
