Adrain had woken up early before Diana had since he wanted his date with her to be extra special. He had made some calls before he had mentioned the date to Diana. Everything had to be perfect for his little rose or he will never let it down if the date turned out horrible.

Adrian got dressed quietly leaving the bedroom making his way down to the kitchen to make Diana a special breakfast. He had decided on making Diana an omelet souffle his father had taught him to make when he was about 5. From the moment Adrian was born he had shown signs of being very intelligent with natural-born leadership in his blood. This made his father and mother very proud knowing the kingdom of the dragons will have a great king and do to this day. Nothing means more to Adrian than his kingdom, family and his beloved mate who he had been waiting for years to finally met.

To be honest, Adrain thought his mate would be a dragon-like him, but when his mother taught him that it doesn't matter what race your mate is, but for who they are as a person. He hadn't understood what she meant by that until that fateful night when he met Diana in the rose garden. Just from her scent, he knew she was a wolf and didn't care one bit. He wanted her his and his alone. He took all his strength not to take her then and there. His dragon Drago was begging him to hold her. He even whimpered watching her leave. The first night Diana stayed with him he had one of his investigators get ahold of information on Diana.

He had found out nothing good about her family and how they treated her like she was some useless child they gave birth to. He without a doubt disliked her sister Amora for she sleeps around with the alpha's son and other pack males. What got him concerned was the fact that Diana had not shifted yet. Most females get their first shit when they turn the age of 10. Lucky for him that information was proven wrong when Diana shifted into her white wolf in front of her pack to fight off her sister. Adrian had never been so proud of her and would not dare to admit he was turned on by how bad-ass she was. Seeing her all fired up with determination burning bright in her eyes. Diana showed that she is not a wolf to be a mess with. Even if Diana can't see herself as a great queen, other and Adrain see otherwise. They know she will make history.

"My king. Why not let me handle the cooking." The head chef told Adrain.

"No. If I want this to be special then I have to make it myself. Besides I love cooking too." Adrain said beginning to make the omelet for Diana. The chief bowed his head leaving to the other room to make sure that all his ingredients he had ordered were all there.

Adrain had made a perfect omelet souffle with fresh raspberries on the side and fresh glass of watermelon juice since Diana was not fond of apple juice nor orange juice. Adrian understood many not being a fan of orange juice, but for someone to just dislike both was a little shocking. Placing everything neatly on to a serving tray he walked back to his room to see Diana still fast asleep cuddling his pillow.

"She is too cute..." he said walking slowly over to her side. "My little rose. It's time to get up."

Diana stirred in her sleep slowly opening her eyes to see Adrain holding a tray out with a beautiful looking breakfast for her. She blushed looking at him surprised.

"Did you make all this?" She asked as Adrain placed the tray on her lap carefully.

"I wanted to make your morning special with a special breakfast made by yours truly," Adrain said proudly of himself. Drago huffed at him for being a showoff.

Diana giggled taking a bit into her omelet and moaned in delight of how good it tasted. Sadly, for Adrain, he was upset that his breakfast got her to moan like that. Her moan was like sweet music to his ears and could not wait for the day he would get to make love to her. He would make sure that she would scream his name loud enough for everyone in the castle to hear.

Diana blushed all shades of red when she looked down at Adrain. "Would you like a cold shower?"

Adrain snapped out of his thoughts when he looked down turning even more red then Diana. He quickly turned around rushing to the bathroom leaving Diana alone laughing on the bed finishing up her breakfast.

Diana brushed her hair while she formed a section of her hair into a braid on top of her head making a cute band shape. She had decided on putting on her short knee-length flowing light black dress that is lighter at the top and darker at the bottom. At the bottom of the dress is a line of tiny gold wolf shape heads all around the dress. A pair of black high heels with a cute small gold wolf at the top. One small gold bracelet and a snow-white rose clipped at the side of her hair. No make-up was needed, just lip gloss was all she needed.

Diana made her way down to the royal dining room where Adrain was talking with Owen about something that seemed important. The conversation was put to a holt when Adrain's eyes landed on Diana who was looking more and beautiful with each passing day to him. No words escaped his lips. He was like a statue stuck looking at the beauty of a mate.

"The king has been frozen by the queen's almighty beauty everyone!" said Owen cupping his hands to his mouth. "Careful men! Her beauty will freeze you too!"

The room erupted into laughter by the staff and some of Adrian's friends. Diana joined in when she noticed Adrian snapping out of it blushing like a schoolgirl.

"Ready to be off my little rose?"

"Set and ready!"

"I'm sorry my king." The butler walked in the dining room rushing over to Adrian. "Before you take your leave, you have a visitor who wishes to speak with you."

"Tell whoever it is to come back another day."

Diana could see that Adrain didn't want any interruptions for this special day. Even she felt the same way. Whoever this person has to wait.

"My apologies king. The person who wishes to see you is Sean Bellaire. He says it's rather important and cannot wait."

Adrain's entire demeanor changed from annoyed to serious in seconds.

"Take me to him now. Diana, I'm sorry, but can you wait just a moment. I won't take long."

"I'll be here when you return."

The butler took Adrian away to where Sean was waiting for him to talk about some important business. To make the time run faster Diana made her way over to the rose garden to see the roses in full bloom. Red roses were not the only ones to bloom. Some roses were yellow, pink, white, orange, etc. Diana's favorite rose is the purple rose itself. The purple rose signifies enchantment and royalty. Just the beauty of the rose would make her smile and think of romantic occasions she and her mate can do together. Walking further into the garden Diana spotted a beautiful woman with long flowing brown hair that partly shined gold in the sunlight. Beautiful bright green eyes and rosy cheeks. This woman before Diana was beautiful.

"Hello there," Diana said. "Who are you?"

The woman turned to Diana and gave a gentle smile to her.

"Hello to you. My name is Serenity Bellaire. I come here with my mate to talk with king Adrain about something important. You must be Diana the new queen of the dragons."

Diana had recognized that name before. Serenity is the human girl who married Sean Bellaire, the billionaire alpha!

"Now I get why Adrain left to go talk. Sean Bellaire is very respected within the wolf community and here. Could it be that Mr. Bellaire is here to discuss what's been happening around the world to many packs?"

Serenity nodded her head. "That's correct. Honestly, this has everyone on edge. We don't know much about these fox demi-gods nor what their goal is."

Diana was also puzzled by recent events that had unfolded involving the fox demi-gods and what they could want in taking down packs with bad reputations. Apart from her was glad that those certain packs have been wiped out leaving less to worry about. However, there are still some concerning matters about such actions.

"Whatever happens we must be prepared for it. I feel like soon changes will be happening." Diana said holding the purple rose close her.

"Spoken like a true queen. I wish you the best in being a great queen to not only your mate but to your people as well."

"Thank you, Serenity."

Diana and Serenity talked for a while about their personal lives and how they had similar situations with their family and sibling. Serenity noticed her mate Sean waving to her. Serenity said goodbye and hoped they get to talk again soon. Adrian sneaked behind Diana pulling her to his chest nuzzling her neck.

"Are you ready to go my little rose?" he asked.

Diana smiled. "Let's get going my love."

Adrain shifted into his dragon having Diana hop on to his back as he took flight. Wonder filled Diana's head as she wondered where her mate is taking her. About twenty minutes had passed since they both left the palace. Looking down she could see a wide meadow with many wildflowers blooming beautifully. Adrian landed and Diana got off looking around watching nature at its full beauty. Butterflies of all different sizes and colors fluttering around so many different flowers. Taking Diana by the hands, Adrain leads her to a romantic picnic that he set up himself and made all the food.

"Surprise my little rose."

"Oh...Adrain...This is amazing!"

"I'm glad you like it."

"I don't like it, Adrian. I love it!"

For the rest of the day, Adrain and Diana enjoyed their time together eating and talking about each other and plans they want to do together again. They even played in the wide-open meadow as they shifted. Nightfall soon came upon them and it was time to head back home. When they got back to the palace Diana thought the night was over until something unexpected happens.

Adrian walked with Diana down the hall. Opening the door to their room where rose peddles were scattered everywhere with candles lighting the room. Diana's face burned at that thought flooding her mind.

Adrian leads her to the bed sitting her down as leaning over her. She blushed looking in his eyes, as his hands cupped her cheek. Lovingly he asked her, Diana laying back on the bed as Adrian crawled now hovering over her. Both staying in place as passionate deep kiss shared between them in comfortable silence.

"Adrian...," Diana whispered gently, her breath slow as Adrian pulled away and lifted her shirt pulling it off her and tossed it away. Now followed by his shirt. One by one article of clothing came off of them until nothing was left and Adrian was over Diana, her head resting on one of his pillows as she stared up at him.

Nerves filled her every limb, yet at the same time, she was relaxed and unafraid. Adrian planted soft loving kisses along her neck as he fixed himself between her and placed a hand on Diana's stomach, rubbing it softly. It was as if he could read her and her nervousness.

"Ready?" Adrian's voice was hushed and soft in her ear as Diana nodded. With that, careful Adrian moved, pushing into Diana, her arms tightly around his neck as he did.

"You okay," he asked stopping, Diana giving another nod making him continue. The feeling painful but pleasuring as Adrian's movements were now fixed to her. Adrian held Diana's hips, his thrusts steady and loving as moans escaped them both. Skin to skin with him, a moment like this, Diana smiled in mind. To have a day like this, with his love and pleasure in one was happiness.
