"Prince Alcyd, Selene is about to enter the garden now!" Lady Sonja informs Prince Alcyd through mind-link.

"Thank you, Lady Sonja…" replied by Prince Alcyd through mind-link.

​​

As Prince Alcyd about to look for Selene's entrance, the scent of his mate has become dominating in his senses but something has dominated in his senses completely.

Selene's beauty and grace have completely captivated Prince Alcyd.

Prince Alcyd has fallen awe-struck with the breath-taking view of Selene as she walks closer.

Everything became in slow motion for Prince Alcyd.

Nothing else mattered but only Selene.

…

…

…

While Prince Alcyd has been captivated by Selene's entrance,

Selene is surprised by the effort shown by Prince Alcyd and the preparation that he has dedicated to this secret date.

Sylvia, the spirit wolf of Selene, could not stop gushing over the efforts and dedication that their mate has shown so far.

'Oh my!!! Look at all this preparation he did. Aside from our own dress, he looks like he even prepared for his own look. I can see our mate more handsome than he was. So Yum-- ..'

Before the spirit wolf of Selene finishes her sudden gushing over Prince Alcyd's efforts and dedication, Selene interjected the elation of her spirit wolf and reminded her to calm herself down.

It was too distracting for Selene that her spirit wolf was too excited and enthusiastic with their mate. Selene had to calm her so she could discern her own feelings in regards to the entire thing.

'Sylv! Please can you control yourself and he is not some piece of meat that we can just have a bite on.'

'Pft! Stop pretending that this does not affect you. Kindly do us both a favor, stop resisting the spark and feelings you have for our mate. Prince Alcyd is clearly trying his best here and we must meet him half-way. Learn how to appreciate someone's efforts and dedication…

'Don't you want to be happy at all?' Nagged by Selene's spirit wolf.

There was no reply or rebuttal coming from Selene after hearing all those things from her own spirit wolf. Selene knows that her spirit wolf is telling the truth and just simply stating the facts.

*** --Hours before Selene's Entrance-- ***

Lady Sonja informed Selene after their work in the kitchen that she brought something for her in the room and she hopes she likes.

"By this time I hope you do not throw the note attached to it. I think it will perfectly fit you." Whispered by Lady Sonja.

Sylvia, the spirit wolf of Selene, got excited for whatever it is in their room. Selene's spirit wolf knows exactly that whatever Lady Sonja has prepared for her in their room is from their mate, Prince Alcyd.

'Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Hurry let's go, let's go! Let's check what our mate has given for us.' Sylvia was clearly exhilarated from what Lady Sonja told her.

Selene expressed her intention to go ahead to her room.

Then Lady Sonja informed Selene that she will follow her after making sure that the other staff members are instructed perfectly for their tasks which will require them to leave town escorted by some warriors.

It seems Selene is starting to sense that there is something going on around the mansion. Everyone is so busy while she is tasked by Lady Sonja in the kitchen with tons of errands to do by herself.

As Selene enters her room, she sees a beautiful dress hanging next to her wooden cabinet.

It was a combination of gold and metallic color that shades the fabric of the dress with elegant embroidered designs and gleaming small diamond beads.

'OH MY! THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL DRESS! I was right, our mate bought something for us!' Selene's spirit wolf was so ecstatic in expressing her excitement.

There is a note attached to the dress and Selene immediately reads the note from her mate.

--- Written Note for Selene ---

I cannot wait to see you tonight.

Only yours,

Prince Alcyd >

This time around Selene did not throw the note but instead, she pinned it in her small reminder board.

A smile was formed on Selene's face as she tries to look at the mirror while holding the dress.

It was obvious that Selene is feeling excited with the gesture of her mate trying to impress her but she is trying her best to contain this bursting feeling.

'Wear it already! Stop delaying things! Hurry, we have a date to go to!' the spirit wolf of Selene is clearly excited for both of them.

Though Selene knows that her spirit wolf is clearly more excited than her.

After releasing a deep sigh for trying to shove her own spirit wolf deep within her mind so that Selene could concentrate on what to do, she started preparing herself.

Slowly she removed her clothing and went for a shower to freshen herself up.

Time passed by…

Then a knock could be heard and Lady Sonja announces her presence to Selene.

"Oh, dear! You look so beautiful." Amusingly stated by Lady Sonja towards Selene.

Not even Selene could believe the transformation of herself after wearing the dress and the jewelry that was given for her to wear.

An amused look was all over Selene and Lady Sonja's face.

"Well, looks like time for us to go to the garden. Prince Alcyd is waiting for us." Whispered by Lady Sonja to Selene's ear.

*** --End of the flashback-- ***

Everything has become magical.

As she enters the garden, her favorite part of the mansion, the entire garden has turned into an enchanting scenery.

Glimmering lights and soothing music could be heard as she walks within the garden area.

It is completely an entrancing moment for her.

Selene relishes this moment where someone is doing his best just to impress her. Someone like her mate.

There are even floating light bugs that add to the element of the enchanting experience.

All the Executive Officers, including Lady Sonja, are mesmerized by the radiating smile and beauty of Selene while Selene is enjoying the enchanting experience around her.

The color of Prince Alcyd's eyes is flickering. The golden shimmer of his beastly eyes is starting to glimmer as bright as the moon. Though, it keeps flickering because he did not expect for Selene to look,

Too captivating and breath-takingly beautiful …

As both mates, Selene and Prince Alcyd, looked at each other…

Both of their spirit wolves are trying to take over their own senses…

The inner howling of their own spirit wolves have signaled the beastly nature of their spirit wolf…

A battle for self-control has begun!
