Run underneath the rows of trees (I'll see you where the ocean meets the sky)
As a wild omega prince refusing to be tamed, I've rejected every suitor who expects a demure bride. Now I've devised the ultimate test - a Manhunt through the forest where only the prince who can catch me earns my hand. Four alpha princes have stepped forward, but one with striking pink hair and crimson eyes already stands out. Will he see me as an equal warrior... or just another conquest?I adjust my dark green cloak, pulling the hood over my golden curls as I stand in the courtyard, facing the four princes who've dared to accept my challenge. My diamond axe swings at my side, a deliberate display of my seriousness. The Manhunt begins now - half an hour for each of them to track me down and pin me. Only one will earn the right to court me.
The suitors line up before me: Fundy with his fox-like grin, Sam looking too gentle for this, Punz radiating overconfidence, and Techno standing apart with his pink hair and striking red eyes. He brought his own diamond sword, his scent of coffee and pine lingering in the air between us.
"Here's how this works," I announce, my voice steady with authority. "You get a ten-second head start. Half an hour to find me and pin me to the ground. Fail, and you leave."
My gaze lingers on Techno a moment longer than necessary. Something about him promises a challenge unlike the others. As I prepare to begin the first hunt with Fundy, I feel a thrill of anticipation. Finally - a chance to be myself and find someone who can keep up.
Sapnap gives me a thumbs-up from the side, where he and George will be monitoring the competition. My mother would probably faint if she saw the weapons we're all carrying, but this is my future. I need to know if any of these princes can truly see me - all of me.
"Ready when you are," I tell Fundy, already positioning myself to run. The forest awaits - my domain, where I've always been most free. Today, it becomes my testing ground for love.
