I jolt up and calm down as I realize it's my alarm clock, not a heart monitor.

I sigh heavily as I rub my face.

It's been a week.

Navi gets married today.

I'm happy for her I am. She deserves this happiness. It's just, she has been gone from the house living with Bain, and I'm.

I'm just lonely.

Part of me is pissed off, I rejected him, I shouldn't feel this way. I just want to go back to normal, to just where all I had to worry about was Navi.

Now, now I don't have to worry about her, that leaves a lot of time on my hands. Leaves a lot of unwanted thoughts bombing my mind.

Maybe I could hire a witch. They can break bonds right?

I groan.

The rejection was supposed to break the bond.

Suddenly a sharp pain is felt in my abdomen. A silent cry leaves my lips as I turn to my side in a fetal position. My neck on the right side burns, my stomach burns and my head feels as though I could explode.

I feel on fire. I moan as I grasp my bed sheets tightly as I squirm in pain.

Then as quick as it comes it goes. I'm left breathing heavily with wide eyes.

What just happened.

Suddenly my phones starts ringing and I jump before quickly picking it up. "Annie where are you? You are supposed to be here getting ready for your sisters wedding, chop chop, bitch, chop chop." Click

I groan at Fraisers demanding tone before finally rolling out of bed. I sigh and quickly take a shower.

I put on some comfortable clothes, I don't bother with my make up or hair knowing Fraiser will do it later.

I practice a happy smile, plaster it on my face and walk out while grabbing my keys.

I get in my car and quickly make my way to the castle.

*

I walk in the castle and look around at all the maids running around getting everything ready, making sure it's perfect. They wear happiness as they talk about the new queen. How nice and simple she is. Helpful, kind hearted.

I smile at the impression my sister makes on them.

"Finally! Come on your giving Fraiser a heart attack." Riley states frantically as she grabs my hand and drags me up the stairs.

My eyes widen at Riley's appearance. Riley has always been beautiful, but more like a scary beautiful. Now, her makeup is flawless, her hair is curled in soft ringlets. She looks beautiful in a more innocent way. Not like she could kill you with a kiss to the cheek.

"I know you're not used to me looking like this but stop staring, it's weird." Riley states with out looking at me as she continues to drag me down the hallway. I quickly look away from her a light blush on my cheeks.

We walk into a room and Fraiser looks my way immediately, he gives me a glare then points to a seat. I nod and without argument I quickly sit down.

"Hold still Annie." Fraiser grumbles as he tries to put the false eyelashes on me.

"Im trying." I state with my nose scrunched up. "They feel weird."

"But they look amazing so suck it up buttercup." Friaser states making me want to roll my closed eye.

"And done!" Fraiser states, I open my eyes as he backs up from me. I turn and look at the mirror, my eyes widen.

My make up is also flawless, my eyeshadow is shades of browns making my red eyes pop. My curls are reinforced and look more tamed. I smile turning to Fraiser. "Thank you!" I breathe causing Fraiser to wink.

"Now if you'll excuse me I have to go make finishing touches on the bride. " Fraiser rushes out making me giggle slightly.

I go to the hanger where my dress hangs and quickly put it on. I look in the mirror and gasp.

(^how I imagine Annie looks ❤)

I look to Riley who has one on similar to mine.

"Damn we look good." Riley smirks causing me to blush.
I look back in the mirror and tilt my head.

I did in fact look good. The dress compliments my curves lovely.

"Where is Navi?" I ask Riley who rolls her eyes.

"In the fucking bridal suite on the other side of the castle. Can you believe they have a bridal suite? Lord I can't even with these fancy punks." Riley grumbles as she starts putting earrings in. I tilt my head slightly.

"You do know when you and Daniel get married, you'll use the same suite?" I question making Rileys eyes widen as she freezes in mid step of putting the other earring in. I giggle as I shake my head and exit the room. I walk down the hall trying to find how to get to Navi.

My heels click echoing through the empty hall.

Suddenly I hear two voices. My eyes widen at one.

Jadyn.

I quickly turn down another hall and press myself against the wall. I peek over the corner seeing Jadyn, holding hands with a petite woman, walking down the hall I was just previously in.
She's gorgours. Everything I'm not. My hair is crazy curly and a weird brown color, hers is sleek and straight, dark as the abyss.
My eyes are red, hers are dark blue like the ocean, contrasting against her dark skin. I'm short chubby, she is short and skinny.

I suck in a breath at the mark on both of their necks making me want to scream.

They marked each other.

Instantly I want to burn the girl alive but my eyes soften. She probably doesn't even know. I watch as the girl giggles at whatever stupid thing Jadyn said as they walk down the hall out of sight.

I breathe out softly.

"So who are we stalking?"

A squeal leaves my mouth as I jump and turn. My eyes widen as I look up.

A man smiles down at me. He stands tall at 6"4'. Extremely meaty, probably eats the heart of lions for breakfast. He has a dark black full beard and wild curly black hair that stops a little past his shoulders. His skin is dark, bronzed by the gods. Teeth pearly white and sharp. His eyes, god his eyes are like looking into the forest, you'd get lost in them if you looked to long, his dark slightly bushy eyebrows are raised in excitement and anticipation. He looks as though he could eat me.
And I mean in every way possible.

"Um no one?" I say hesitantly and I kick myself as it sounds like a question.

A loud throaty laughs leaves him. "No, no I saw you staring at that man. He broke your heart, I can see it in your eyes." He ends with a concerned look taking hold of his features.

"I-I um No-no im-im fin-"

"Nonsense!" He booms as he shakes his head. "I'll rumble him up if you want?" He states as he starts to roll up the sleeves to his white dress shirt. My eyes widen as I grab his big hand in mine stopping him from rolling up his sleeves any more.

Lord this man is a giant.

My breath hitches at the warmth that goes through me at touching his hand. It fills up my chest and settles down in my stomach calling it home.

I clear my throat as I struggle to get my emotions in check.

"No-No it's fine I promise he isn't worth it." I shake my head making the man look down, back at me.

"Yes I agree he isn't but you are worth it. No man should ever make a lovely lady like you sad." His deep voice rumbles through the air and I blush.

"Thank you, but really it's fine, I'm fine." I state as I slowly drop my hands and take a much needed step back. His uh manliness was suffocating, and dirty thoughts were stirring in my mind.

Stop he has a mate out there. You have a mate, stop it Annie.

"You're right. I'd much rather find out your name?" The man rumbles as he puts a big hand out for me to take. "I'm Jamison, but every one calls me James." I go to put my hand in his but jump at Fraisers voice.

"What are you doing? Come on we are going to be late the ceremony starts at any moment!" Fraiser states as he grabs my arm and drags me away.

I turn my hand and see James wave at me with the big grin taking over his face. I return with a small wave and blush creeping up my cheeks as Fraiser drags me around the corner causing the man, James, to leave my view.
