Casey's pov

" Look Anna ! Look ! Its the palace. " Nick jumps up and down. Both the kids look at the palace in amazement.

" Nick calm down. " His mother Casandra says as she gets out the car. She grabs ahold of them both.

" My Queen. How was your day. Were you able to attend to business properly. " I turn my attention away from them as the go on and on and see a young girl.

" Oh yes I was. Well kinda. Um your name? " I ask

" My names Charlie. " I frown then look closely at the girl.

" You're a boy? " I ask

" Um yes My Queen. " I look at Rose to see an amused smile on her face.

" Hm right well. I want to see the princess. " He nods and starts to walk.

" Taylor. Chance. " he calls and two guards walk up then salute.

" Sir. " they say in unison.

" Grab the Queens companions belongings please and take them to a room close to the Queens room. Also tell my father that the Queen has returned. "

" Yes Sir. " they salute then walk to type SUVs.

" You're the Generals son aren't you. I was told that you were beautiful. I just didn't know that you took all your beauty from your mother. " I state as I walk at his side. Though I'm significantly taller than him. So I have to look down at him.

" Yes I am way more in touch with my feminine side than most men.  Plus being the size of an 14 year old girl even though I know im quite older than you doesn't help much does it?" 

" No it doesn't . " I laugh and he smiles.

" Anyways We got your message earlier. You know the princess has grown quite a bit this past year.  Once we past our first life. We age quicker the second time around. Being Fae and all. Oh well you know that. " I nod as we round the corner.

" Princess Falen should be around here somewhere. " he states looking into a room on the left of the hall.

" Princess please. We must have you ready and packed. Queen Casey will be taking you with her when she leaves. So that she can teach you

" I couldnt care less what the Queen wants to teach me. " Turning I see Falen. Well a younger version. Walking the other way. She looks the exact same though. Tall gorgeous and long beautiful auburn hair. I smile.

" I mean its not like out of this whole year she came to see me. Why is she even Queen. When im the princess. My parents are suppose to be ruling until I come of age. Like this doesn't even makes sense. " she rants. Frowning I turn to Charlie.

" You all haven't told her. " I turn to Charlie confused.

" Her parents thought it best to let you explain. I mean this is her second life. And its only been a year. Her memories haven't returned just yet. And well you're her beloved. "

" What?! She's only what like 16 and her memories haven't come back right? So let me put this into perspective. This is her second life. She's growing rapidly. By the end of this year she will be hm atleast 21. Her memories will flood back because that's the age in which her body will finally be physically stable. At which she will stop aging rapidly. And you all just decided hey we should wait to tell her about her own previous life ?!? " Rose grabs my hand rubbing it gently.

" My Queen she is your beloved. She will take this better from you. " I frown. Confused a bit.

" I don't feel our bond Charlie. We are no longer mated anymore. She died. Remember "

" Yes she died and that broke the bond between you and her. But when a Fae is reborn if their mate is either dead or no where around. We don't get a second beloved or mate. No one does. All it takes to reconnect your bond is an intimate moment of any kind. And her memories will even come back faster. I thought you knew this ? "

" No I did know that. "

" Um well  I will show your guest to their rooms for the night. " Charlie whispers before basically running out of here. The others following him.

" Calm down Casey. Everything fine. " Rose grabs my chin making me look at her.

" I'm calm its just. None of this is making sense. Its not adding up. Nothing is fine."

" Chaos never is. " I frown.

" Chaos seems to find us everywhere. " I walk in the direction the princess went. When its time to leave she needs to be ready. I wasnt gonna take her just yet but with all this happening and starting Colors red made me have to push everything a bit further. Maybe I was being irrational. Knowing what what I know now makes things a bit more difficult.

" That's the point of Colors red. To push our plans farther. Quicker. Talia did her part. Now we have to do ours. So everything can go into order. So that everything can fall into place. " Vera states

" We had this planned out just incase Chaos did decide to show its face. We aren't unprepared for the trials that have begun. We knew this would happen. " Saga chimed in

" We didn't know that Falen was still our mate. And all it takes is an intimate moment. Which could literally be anything that makes both our hearts race at the sight of each other. " I state to them

" True then lets avoid the child. Its as easy as that. " Saga says

" She's our mate Saga. All of us our bonded to her. You reject Clark for her. We gave her our whole heart. We won't be able to avoid her for long. " Vera explains

" Right my mistake. Though intimate moments don't come often. We should be able to avoid that for a little while right ? " Saga asks

" Maybe. "  Is all Vera says indifferently

" This is something else " I state shaking my head.

" Hm you say something ? " I look at Rose and smile. We're only a few steps away.

" Yeah but nothing to be concerned about. " I squeeze her hand

" There she is. " Rose points and I nod seeing her still yelling at the same servant.

" Princess ! " I yell out to catch her attention. She frowns.

" Whose this? And why the hell is she calling for me ? " She turns to the young woman. I frown.

" Tsk they didn't even tell her what I look like. " I frown.

" My name is C

" I couldnt care less about who you are. "

" Guess it wont be that hard. " Saga says and I nod.

" Princess this is the Queen. " The servant says then bows.

" Tsk oh. Hello My Queen. " She sneers and I hear Rose growl lowly.

" Hello Falen. We will be leaving early tomorrow. Have your things ready. " I smile and she only glares at me. I turn to leave.

" Wait I have questions. That you better answer. " she says with so much attitude.

" That little "

" It most definitely will be easy I guess. " Saga and Vera speak at the same moment.

" Yes Princess I will answer any and every question you have. " She looks a bit shocked but she doesn't speak just nods.

" Rose come on. " I grab her hand and walk away. Once we are out of her ear range Rose snaps.

" The little shit was rude and really disrespectful. Did her parents teach her no home training. What is her reason for hating you anyways. That's not fucking Falen. " 

" Yes well teenagers are always angry. " I laugh and Rose looks at me seriously.

" Oh come on that was funny. " I pout

" No. It wasn't. " She smiles and walks away.

" Im gonna go check on the others. " I tell her and she waves her hand at me as she walks into our room.

" Hey you all good? " I ask as I walk into the room near mine. Nick jumps up on me. Thank goddess he barely weighs anything.

" Casey the pretty man showed us the palace. There's big kitchen. Bigger than mommies. And there's a even bigger room where everyone eats. Are we gonna eat there? Can I sit by you ? " I smile at his rambling.
" Well we weren't gonna eat together but since you're so excited I'll call everyone to dinner. So that we all eat together and yes you can sit by me. " I bop his nose and he smiles big. My heart does flips. His such a cute boy. Makes me miss Athena and its only been a day.

" Mommy we're all eating together. " He wiggles out of my arms and over to Anna. Who is sitting quietly over by her mother.

" Anna you can sit on the other side of her. " He states and she looks at me. I smile gently and she nods

" Okay what are we eating. I like pasta stuff. Ooo lasagna. " Anna jumps up. I walk out the door to the guard.

" Call the kitchen and tell them to make lasagna for dinner. Also make an announcement. The Queen states that everyone in the palace must attend this dinner. "

" Yes ma'am " He salutes and walks away.

" Okay you guys get ready for dinner I'll see you all there. " I say before leaving. I can hear the kids excited rambling

" Rose I'm gonna meditate a bit okay. " I tell her as I enter the room. She's reading. So she only nods.

I get on the bed and cross my legs resting my elbows on them. Closing my eyes

" May I enter. " I ask

" Of course you can. " Saga and Vera say in unison. Light floods in and I enter our meadow

" A hard day huh and we still haven't heard from Pearl and Richard. " Saga comes up to me. We look identical. I mean we are the same person. She's just a bit more natural. And Vera is a bit more paler

" Oh I do hope they don't hurt anyone more than they already are. " Vera states frowning a bit.

" They'll do fine. I trust Michelle's people. "

" Oh yes. Tsk I miss her presence. She always made us feel so safe. " I nod

" Agreed. " Vera states sitting down a rose in her hand.

" Okay guys lets talk about Falen."

" Oh she's a rude little shit. " Vera laughs at Saga and I smile

" What she is. "

" Yes we know. We were there. " Vera smirks leaning back smelling the flower.

" My thing is. She's still mated to us and even if we don't act on that. Her memories will still return and either she will pursue our bond or she will hate us. I don't think we can handle her hating us. " I state and they nod.
" Then we explain first. She does want answers anyways. " Saga says walking over to Vera then sitting down.

" True " I sit infront of them

" Maybe we reconnect our bond. " Vera says quietly. Saga and I look at her

" Just a suggestion. " she looks away.

" What about Rose? Did you forget that we love Rose? We are mated to Rose. " Saga takes the rose out of Vera hand.

" No I have not forgotten. Why can't we be mated to both. " Saga jumps up.

" Because its fucking selfish. Rose fought for us. Harder than anyone. She has loved us from the beginning. She was mateless. She wandered this world alone and of all the people she met and she loves us. No one gets that chance to be with someone so loyal and throws it away. Wanderers aren't meant to have a mate. Yet she chose us. And you want to defile that by saying hey lets have two mates. They'll be fine with it. Didn't you see how that went last time we suggested that. I broke my bond with my true mate. " Saga cry's out the last part

" And you want me to do the SAME?  Saga I'm being selfish I know that. But we watched her die. I didn't think she'd still be our mate. But now that I know I. I don't want to avoid her. I don't want to not love her. She's mine. She's ours ." Vera snaps back. I sit quietly looking from Saga to Vera. Both standing up chest puffing out.

" Casey its dinner time. We're a bit late though. "

" We will speak more on this later. "

" May I leave. " I ask

" Of course you can. " they say in unison. Opening my eyes I see Rose. Dressed up.

" What do you think? " she smiles

" That I don't know how we got you. You're too beautiful. " I smile

" You go ahead. Let me get ready. " She nods and walks out closing the door behind her. Grabbing a fitted dress and some heels I quickly put the outfit on. Black is always my color. I look into the mirror and frown.

" Rose will decide. " I state before walking out the room.
