The runaway princess and her lone alpha

A young princess abandons her royal life to find the mate from her prophecy. Instead of love, she finds cruelty in the one destined for her—and a devastating truth: her escape was never her own. Her father planned it all along, and she was merely a pawn. In the end, she allows herself to be used, choosing family over the love she sought. He was born to be alone—no friends, no family, no future. Destiny mocked him by placing his mate right beside him, yet he refused to accept her, clinging to the fate he believed was his. But when his guarded heart begins to warm toward the rebellious princess, he dares to hope he might not be alone. Then betrayal strikes, shattering that fragile hope. Can these two find love in each other, or will destiny always prevail?

"What does this mean?" I showed Kate, who stood besides me.

"This..." Kate blinked, trying to find her word. It seems the name Adrian was a taboo in this school.

"He is the school's notorious student, and it will be best for you to avoid him, no matter what, go the other way when you see him. You don't want your first year in school to be full of bad experiences."

How was I supposed to stay away from him, when this same person was my mate? A mate I never knew, till the day it was prophesied, by the moon goddess. And now I'm here trying to figure out and get to know this same man. Who exactly is he?

After leaving the secretary's office, while I and Kate were walking, my mind could not stop thinking about Adrian, although I haven't seen him, but what I do know is that Adrian , who is my mate, has taken my interest.

"Kate, please can you tell me about this Adrian?"

"This..." Kate seemed to hesitate "this, I don't think it's a good idea"

"Please" I stressed, I needed answers.

Kate looked around her, noticing that the hallway was dry, and there wasn't any student around. " This Adrian that you want to know about is the school notorious bully. Even teachers are too scared of him, so we avoid him. He can even destroy a student, making the student life in this school a living hell"

" But why hasn't the school said anything about this, why haven't they suspended him or called him in for questioning?"

"That's when the problem lies, because the school is his backing. The school belongs to his family, it has been for generations and generations to come, there is even rumor that he might end up taking over the school." I felt surprised hearing this. So my mate is a notorious bad boy, that only depends on his family. Kate seemed to read my expression.

"He is not entirely bad."

Oh. This piques my interest.

"In the entire school, he is the most brilliant student. He even has his own society, where they make money, especially for the poor who benefit greatly from it. Because of this he has gotten a high fan base, in Popularity."

"I can see my name is being discussed around, tell me, am I that famous?" A voice came in. I looked over in surprise, wasn't I supposed to notice when someone came in? When did my wolf sense start malfunctioning?!

I looked at the newcomer, shock obviously written on my face. Kate for some reason came behind me. This newcomer is dressed in the same uniform as I was. Which means he was a student. His back lean lazily on the wall, his features lazy and handsome, one could see a trace of beards growing at his jaws. He looked at me and for some reason his lazy expression changed slightly, before returning to normal.

But this isn't what got me alert. It was the fact that I felt the connection between us, and not only that my wolf screamed of danger. Nobody has ever made me feel afraid, other than my father, who is currently the alpha king.

I knew that this man was dangerous, and I must keep myself alert at all costs.

"You. You can go, I will come looking for you soon" The guy, who I guess is Adrian. Because it was only him that could behave brazenly in front of me.

"She's not going anywhere" I held Kate's hand. "Look Adrian, I don't care who you are but, don't you dare cause trouble for my friend" I warned him despite my heart beating so loudly that I could hear it. But I didn't want him to see my weakness, as a princess and daughter to the great alpha king, my pride won't allow me to submit easily.

For a minute he stared at me for a minute before bursting into laughter.

What was so funny there?

"Oh my" He moved away from the wall and walked right towards where I stood. Kate tried hiding herself more, if my back was a ground, I am sure she would have prayed to bury herself in.

He walked like a boy who got tired of running. But every step he took, cried danger. My wolf threatened to come out, refusing to submit. And for some odd reason, I regretted not letting Kate run. I was still young, I hadn't even been able to tame my wolf properly. And I was hundred percent sure that I would shift anytime soon. This Adrian aura was too dangerous. What kind of mate makes his partner feel scared.

Idiot!

Bastard!

I rained curses on him.

"Sarah, should we run? The secretary's office is just around the corner, you know?" Kate whispered behind me, and for some reason I really wanted to buy that idea.

"You should run and get help, I will stay and talk things out with him"

"No... I can't probably leave you, besides its my fault for discussing him to you"

Like the fvck! How am I supposed to handle him now? I prayed for a miracle and before my wolf could shift, a figure showed up, dressed as a student. Her facial resembles that of mine but there was a little sharpness in it. And that got to be Kate, my elder sister and the next successor to my father.

"Adrian, haven't you teased my sister enough? I think you have something better to do than just bullying a little girl" Adrian stopped immediately, his lazy expression gone now replaced with a sharp one, his stare at my sister who stood with some group of friends.

They weren't human. This was what I first noticed. Indeed this school was definitely full of surprises
