Virgin princess.

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.

I rubbed my chin. "Okay, then. You said...She kicked the quarterback's ass, right? Why? There must be a reason for that." I raised an eyebrow.

Yes, after all, she was my partner's daughter, and even so, he was from the human race, but he was like my best close friend ever. A real brother, actually.

"Yes, sir...That guy was her boyfriend, and she caught him kissing another girl!" he mentioned normally, as if it was a casual thing to happen. That means the girl had a reason.

"So it's not out of the blue. So why are you talking about her as if she was insane?!" I raised an eyebrow and said in an irritated tone from the way he had described her.

"Because she always acts like a fireball. She yells and curses and smashes things. Always into fights daily. She needs to be punished by her father, not only to put into detention or be expelled!" he mumbled.

I nodded. "Okay, then, you need her to get out of school for a few days to tame the beast inside that girl?"

He chuckled at the way I said my words. "Something like that. A few days won't hurt anyone. And her final exams will be after two weeks already. So...She could come later to study and finish her last year. Could you do that, please? Seriously, I can't control that girl anymore." He almost pleaded desperately, as if he used all his tricks to make her walk on the right path, but he failed.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I guess I can do that. But one last thing. I want to meet her ex-boyfriend first."

It wasn't a condition, but I wanted to hear the part of the story from the guy, and actually, I was curious to meet him.

He nodded mutely and then called his office boy. A minute later, the office boy entered after he had knocked on the office door politely.

"Yes, sir," he said to the principal.

"Bring me our quarterback Jake now, please," he commanded the boy, and he left. I waited for a few more minutes until a huge, muscled guy, almost as tall as a tree, with white skin and blue eyes, stepped inside with a broken hand and some bruises over his face.

I blurted out, dumbfounded, "Don't tell me that Viola did all of that to that huge guy?!"

Jake freaked out only by hearing her name. "Yes, and please don't mention her name in front of me ever again. She's like a tiger. I hate her already, and I regret taking her as my girlfriend."

I stood up and threw him up and down looks. "Then tell me how it started and why did she do that to you?"

He gulped nervously under my gaze, then he switched his eyes to the principal in a worried look.

I snapped my fingers to his face. "Hey, look at me. I'm talking to you. If you didn't tell me the truth now, trust me, I will sue you," I said sternly.

He dropped his jaw. "Huh? For what?! I should sue her for ruining my life as the best football player!" he said in a violent tone, and I hated him already. I could tell that the girl didn't do anything wrong already. He looked like an egotistic playboy to me.

And before I could say anything, Viola barged into the office without even knocking. Jake rushed to hide himself behind my back. "Viola, don't touch me."

She crossed her arms over her chest. "You fucking piece of shit! Have you told the principal that I broke your arms because you've cheated on me? Seriously!" she hollered at the guy.

"Viola, watch your mouth!" I said firmly, gazing at her.

She smirked. "And who the hell are you?"

"I'm Mathew York, your father's best friend and partner," I replied slowly.

She laughed hysterically, getting more angry in between her tone. "I see! Do I even have a father? He didn't even care to come and meet me."

I ignored her for the moment because I wanted to end all that crap. I have been flying for more than ten hours already, and they started to give me a strong headache. I turned my head to the guy. "Now! Tell me what happened, and don't lie, or I swear to God, I will fuck up your life. You still don't know me well," I threatened him, and I guess I got Viola's attention.

She widened her eyes, impressed, and the guy cleared his throat, lowering his gaze to the floor. "Okay, I lied. I sneaked to her room at night, and I asked her to sleep with me...Um...As lovers. Making love."

I pushed the guy to the wall and almost strangled his neck. "So you wanted her to satisfy your dick needs! You wanted to fuck her!" I groaned.

He suffered to breathe. "No, I have been in a relationship with her for more than two years. I thought it was the right time to lose her virginity. She is eighteen, for God's sake!"

Viola placed her hands on mine and pulled me. "Leave him, please," she said in a broken, low voice.

I glanced off my shoulders, deeply into her eyes, to only see the most beautiful green eyes ever! She was so white with green eyes and dark black hair?! What the hell! I guess her mother was a very beautiful woman. But it wasn't just that. I saw the blocked tears in her eyes. That girl played like a strong tough, but deep inside, she was fragile.

But no one knew that. She hid her true feelings. Because she was lonely, that was obvious.

I pressed my hand even more to the guy's neck. "I will fucking sue you for attempting to rape her! I will fuck your life even more," I roared.

The principal hastened to me and pulled me away from Jake. "Please, Mr. Mathew, calm down, and I will take the proper legal action against him. I didn't know that he was such a liar."

I raised an eyebrow and pointed my finger to the principal, warning him. "You better do, or I will make sure to put you behind bars with him. For now, I'm taking a leave, and I will take Viola with me."

Viola plastered in her place, staring at me in thunderstruck. "Me? Take me where?" She blinked, confused.

I linked my arms to hers and smiled softly. "Having fun for this weekend. Just you and me."

And I didn't know that would be the first heartbeat for me...I didn't know that rebellious girl would rock my world and conquer my stone heart with her fragile smile.

Prince Mathew York's POV

I walked with Viola out of the principal's office, my guards were waiting for me. "So, Miss Viola. Are you ready? Do you need to take anything with you from your room?" I said, rather formally.

I didn't know how to talk to her yet. She wasn't a businesswoman, and not even a woman yet. But she wasn't a young girl, either.

She giggled lightly. "So formal! Please call me Viola, and I will call you Mathew. And yes, I need to go to my room immediately to pack up my clothes in a small bag and..."

I cut her off, "You won't need clothes. We will go shopping, and I'll buy you anything you want. What else?"

She raised an eyebrow. "Buy things for me? Why?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "Because you are my partner's daughter?" I don't know if I was telling her or asking myself.

But money wasn't a big deal for me. To buy some stuff and spend thousands of dollars was normal, actually.

She pointed her finger at my nose, mocking. "Yes, just one more thing. Don't fall in love with me." She winked at me.

And I stood cemented in my place, shocked by her guts. Was she kidding? I will never fall for my partner's daughter! And most of all, I will never fall for a human girl... Or maybe I will?!

I spaced out, and she snapped her fingers. "Hey! Come back to earth, Mr. Mathew. I was just kidding. Actually, I don't mind falling for a hot, handsome man like you." She licked the corner of her mouth.

I widened my eyes, then I cupped her jaw. "Don't talk in that way! You are not a whore. Got that?" I said in a grating tone, sternly.

She blinked and nodded her head politely. "Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." She apologized immediately.

I turned my head away from her. "Now, let's go back to your room. I need to get some stuff from there." I said, and she gasped, "You want to get stuff from my room?!"

I blurted out firmly and grabbed her hands, "Yes, now show me your room."

And she silently obeyed and walked with me... Until we've reached her room. I took a short glimpse here and there until - I had found what I wanted. I walked to her desk and grabbed the pictures. "Now, you need to burn all of your ex-boyfriend pictures and stuff. Are you still in love with him?" I asked her, out of curiosity.

Actually, I have no idea why I wanted her to end everything and leave no trace back to her relationship. Something was deeply pushing me into this.

She said, haughtily and confidently, "That trash?! I wasn't in love with him, and I have never fallen in love before with any. I even hated my father."

I raised my head up and gazed at her plainly. "Then why the hell did you...?"

She sighed. "I was desperate and feeling so lonely. I wanted someone by my side to care about me, that's all." she said, in a frustrated tone, lowering her gaze to the floor.

Her voice, her facial expressions, even her body language and emotions were new to me, and attracted me somehow, like a magnet. Made me drown deeply into her green eyes, as if I have never seen green eyes before.

And yes, the girl was hot. Her body was just perfect, but I didn't look at her that way at all. She was my partner's daughter, for God's sake, so... I was practically like her uncle, something like that. Even so, the gap in age between us was not huge, but she was a little girl to me. I will never touch her or even...

Fuck! What am I even thinking of?! Why am I thinking of her?

She pushed her hands in my jacket, and I startled a bit. "What are you doing?"

She blinked. "Searching for a lighter to burn the pictures!"

I nodded. "Um, okay... My men will do it. Now, let's go."

She smiled and mouthed mutely, 'Thank you, Mathew.'

I smiled back and placed my arms over her back, walking out of her room... to spend my next couple of days in my hotel with the girl that I didn't meet ever before.

I have never taken care of anyone before. And now, I should tame that girl and take care of her!

We reached my limo, and before we could get into the back couch... Jake stood far away, staring at Viola as if he wanted to eat a piece of her.

That guy looked so deeply in love with her. I should know why he has tried to force her for sex if he loved her that much.

I teased Jake by opening the door for Viola and leaned closer to her. "I guess he is so jealous because you are leaving with me." I murmured.

She turned her head nonchalantly to my neck, to only make me shiver from the strong, adorable scent of her body that was mixed with my favorite perfume. "So, don't fall for me like him. He is obsessed with me."

I gulped nervously at her words, and she got inside the backseat and gazed back at Jake, who was huffing and puffing angrily, without even taking his eyes away from Viola or me.

I guess she was kind of right. But why did she insist on warning me for the second time in less than fifteen minutes?! Why was she so sure from her strong affection over other men?! Well, she had no idea whom she was dealing with! I'm not into love at all.

And that's why I have said to her once the driver started up the limo, "I'm not in love at all. Don't worry."

She smirked sheepishly. "We will see, handsome."

Prince Mathew York's POV

The ride was totally silent until we reached my hotel. She stared at the hotel in awe, as if she has never been in such a place before. Which was totally weird, because her father was filthy rich, maybe more than me, actually.

I still don't know why their relationship looks like shit. But I didn't want to interfere. Especially that I and Alex were like brothers, but he didn't ever mention his relationship with his daughter Viola or her age or anything at all. He just said that she was studying abroad, and that's it.

She opened her door and stood in her place, looking at the hotel. "Is that yours?"

I nodded. "Yes. How did you know?"

She shrugged. "I felt so, because you didn't inform the driver where he should go."

I chuckled. "I see that you are a really smart girl."

She walked inside the hotel, and I trailed her. The manager and most of the employees greeted me. "I want you to prepare a nice room for Viola," I commanded the manager.

She turned her body and widened her eyes at me, as if I insulted her or something. "What? Don't expect me to sleep in a room in that hotel alone. I didn't sleep in a strange place. I have lived all my life in the same room!"

I wanted to hug her at that moment!

I calmed myself and coughed. "Then where should you sleep then?"

She made a puppy face and stepped closer to me. "I will sleep with you! In your suite, I guess."

"What?!" I raised my eyebrows and said, dumbfounded.

My suite! With her alone! Could I do that? Seriously! Sure, I can do that. She is just my partner's daughter...

I faked a smile, but I was actually annoyed. "Okay then, you will join me in my suite."

She chuckled cheerfully and threw her body to my chest. "Thank you so much, Mathew."

I patted her back. "It's okay."

Then I gestured to the manager to go and prepare my suite. It was my private one, and I already had everything there. I ushered her to walk with me to my private elevator, and we stepped inside alone, while my assistant and my guards followed us in the other elevators.

Once I pushed the button of the elevator and the door shut down, she stepped closer to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. I pulled my face away, staring at her, surprised by her behavior.

She said, out of the blue, "Can I call you daddy?"

I gulped and tried to push her away, but my hands didn't have the guts. I loved her touch over my skin. I loved her scent, and the way she looked deeply into my eyes, as if she was invading my soul.

I snapped to myself to take control. "What? You can't! Do you even know the meaning of 'daddy'?!" I smirked, trying to cover the shivers all over my body. Her affection was irresistible. I couldn't take my eyes away from her. I couldn't step one inch back. I spontaneously stepped closer, leaving no gap at all between our faces.

She bit her lips and whispered seductively, "I know exactly what it means... I want you to be my daddy."

I stared in depth, trying to process in my mind what she just said, but I guess I couldn't. Why me? She was even a virgin! Maybe she just wanted a man better than her father, that's all.

I decided to come back to my senses and not let a young girl like her push me into a forbidden relationship. She was my partner's daughter, and I couldn't do that.

Yes, maybe she just wanted to do something bad with me, to tease her father or something. She wasn't stupid, after all, and not me, either, to be trapped into her pranks.

I scoffed and pushed her arms next to her body. "No! And don't even think of seducing me. For me... You are just my partner's daughter. I will never betray my partner ever or touch his daughter." I said firmly, ending that weird discussion.

She narrowed her eyes, then laughed hysterically. "Okay, that's good. Then you have passed the test."

I gazed at her in curiosity. "What test?!"

She waved her brows up and down, competitively. "I just wanted to know if I could trust you or not..." she said, explaining, and paused.

Then she trailed off when we reached the suite level. "Because I do sleep naked."

'What the fuck!!!! She sleeps naked?! How could I sleep in the same suite with a naked, hot girl! Fuck... No way I could resist her, and after all, I have never fallen for a virgin human girl ever before, not even with a she-wolf woman. I'm not into virgins, nor interested in any. And my stone heart can't be melted by her hellfire balls.

At least, I thought so.
