Prince Mathew's POV
As I finally decided to take a couple of days off in England, I got that phone call from my partner Alex... My private jet had just landed and I didn't even get the chance to get into my limo.
"What? He can't take care of anything in the company without me?! For god's sake, I didn't take a day off for more than three months. I was mentally and physically exhausted. I was desperately in need to shut my head off for only a couple of days."
I grabbed my cell phone and answered in an annoyed tone, "Hey! Did you miss me or what?" I mocked.
"Hey, Mathew. Sorry for interrupting your weekend. But it's urgent," he said annoyed.
"What happened? Something happened to our last deal with..." I was asking him worriedly.
He said in defeat, "No, please, it's not about the business. Just listen and don't cut off. Since you are already in England, I need a favor from you."
"Okay, I'm listening," I said.
"My daughter is already studying in a private school there. And I need you to meet the principal instead of me. He called me and said that she had hurt a boy. And you know if I took a flight now it will take more than ten hours in the air, besides I can't leave the company because you are not there. So..." he explained, and I didn't think twice. He was my partner after all.
It was just, I hated kids! That's all.
"Um... Okay, I can do it. Don't worry. Send me the name of the school and I will take care of everything and call you back later," I informed him.
He said sincerely, "Thank you so much, Mathew. You are the best brother and partner ever."
"It's okay, Alex... Anytime. Call you later." And by that, I hung up the call with Alex and frowned.
'What! I can't take a fucking weekend alone without interruption?!' I mumbled and gestured to my guard to open the limo for me.
I'm an Alpha for fuck's sake! I wish I could scream and tell Alex about my little secret. But what should I say to him? 'Hello Alex, I just want to tell you... I'm a werewolf... Oh, I'm actually an Alpha... And much more, I'm going to take the throne on my 25th birthday! In ten days, I will be a fucking king and rule the werewolves' kingdom!'
Yes, and Alex would think that I had lost my mind and gone crazy, or he would get scared and die of a heart attack!
I stepped inside and checked my text message. And yes, I got the name of this private school.
But what didn't come to my mind... What he said earlier. The girl smashed the boy's bones?! How could she do that?! I laughed at the idea and commanded the driver to send me there first to end that shit, then go back to my hotel to enjoy my next two days.
After half an hour, we reached that school that was in the middle of nowhere already. It looked like a prison to me already, but in the shape of a castle!
Well! I wondered, 'Why did Alex send his daughter that far to a place like that? Maybe, she needed to be tamed or something. But she was such a young girl, I guess! Alex is only older than me by a few years. Yes, I'm twenty-four years old, and he is just thirty-two.
I think Viola is kind of a genius or something to be just a young girl in high school! She should be twelve or something. She can't be older, right?!'
I was thinking in my mind before passing through the huge iron gates of that school. I drifted directly into the principal's office, and my guards and my assistant followed me. I didn't see even a ghost around the bars of that iron. It was kind of scary to me.
Until I spotted that young, sexy girl yelling at a few boys. I stood in my place watching her. She raised an eyebrow and said rudely to me, "What the fuck are you looking at? Do I look like a monkey to you?!"
Why are my heartbeats getting higher? Why does the scent of her body stick to my nose as if she is my...!
'Yes, she is your mate, idiot!' My wolf growled.
'No, fucking way! She is human!' I snapped to my wolf to stop.
And before I could reply to her freaking attitude, the principal opened his door to yell at that girl, "Viola Alex! Come over here now."
'What the fuck! Is that Viola?! My partner's daughter?! She looks like a lady to me!'
I rolled my eyes. "Is that Viola Alex?!" I asked awkwardly in a shocking tone.
The principal nodded, "Yes, sir, and I guess you are Mr. Mathew York... Mr. Alex called me earlier and informed me that you will take care of her this weekend."
"What? Take care of that girl for the weekend? No, no... I guess you misunderstood the situation. I'm just here to see what has happened and solve the problem, that's all," I said in a disagreeing tone.
Viola had just disappeared already, and the principal ushered me to go inside his office and talk in private. He sat on his desk and sighed in frustration, "Mr. Mathew, I guess you have no idea what's going on here. I need to explain the situation."
I blew an annoyed breath away. "Okay, please go on."
He smiled lightly, "As you can see, she is a very rebellious and troubled girl. She keeps fighting like a boy every day. She almost smashed our quarterback's bones." He paused...
Then he trailed off his words, "Do you know what's going on with her? She was sent here to that school since she was only 2 years old. Yes... It's a high school now, but previously it was kindergarten and elementary as well. She struggled a lot to adapt. Her father only meets her once per year. The girl has mental issues, even though she is so smart. But much hatred inside her." He explained, and I can't deny that I felt sorry for the girl already.
I guess I got the whole picture somehow. She was born by a mistake between Alex and her mother when Alex was a teenager already.
"How old is she?" I was curious and I wanted to find out if my conclusion was right or wrong.
"Eighteen years old," he said, and I cursed under my breath already.
