Sarina's P.O.V.

"Relax Collin, it's not like we have anyone important coming over-" his mother says but I don't dare open my eyes to confirm it.

"And besides you weren't supposed to be back for a few more hours" she continues.

"So this is my fault?" Collin asks sounding rather angry.

And before an argument breaks out I quickly make myself known,"Excuse me?"

"Oh right!" Collin says as if remembering me, "Mom, Dad; her Majesty the Queen" he announces.

I hear a set of gasps then the slamming of the door, and I really hoped they left to go change. After a minute or two I finally build up enough curiosity to open my eyes and thankfully the naked people are gone.

"Collin their gone you can open your eyes now" I say towards the boy seeing his hands still firmly pressed against his eyes.

"Oh who cares? The damage is done I'll need therapy for the rest of my life" he grunts out.

"Me too, I'll send you the bill later..."

A swell of awkward silence blooms over the two of us as we await his parents return, hopefully with their clothes on.

"So...." I mumble awkwardly.

Suddenly the doors slam open, oh thank god!

"Our deepest apologies Your Majesty" Collins father immediately says while him and his mate bow deeply.

"That's alright I'll just send you the bill for my lobotomy to get that horrific image out of my head" I grumble out. But quickly squeezing past the two of them, trying to get out of the heat.

"Uh welcome to our humble abode, is there anything we can get for you?" His mother asks.

"A shower, a change of clothes and a phone if you don't mind" I reply politely.

I may not have enough patience to be nice to the kid but I know when to act on my best behavior. After all me acting badly really would've reflected badly on my mates and the kingdom.

"Of course, if you'll follow me right this way" his mother says and starts off up the stairs.

"Oh I almost forgot to introduce myself, I'm Sarina" I say hoping to prompt her into telling me her name.

"I'm Margaret Mockery"she kindly replies.

"Your initials are MM?" I ask trying to hold back a laugh.

"Yes, something funny about that dear?" She asks and I quickly backtracking sensing the hostility in her voice, clearly she didn't think her initials were that funny.

After that interaction I felt it best to keep to myself once Miss Margaret showed me to my room I immediately showered and changed and it felt great to finally feel clean once again then headed back downstairs to hopefully make a phone call to my mates and get me the hell out of here. I wanted to see them it was becoming like an unbearable itch that I had to scratch.

"Come on Your Majesty follow me to the tea room" Collin greets as I pop out of the room I was using scaring the crap out of me.

"Just lead the way" I grumble out.

And after a quick phone call with Roger, I was told I would be picked up sometime early tomorrow morning. Which was both good and bad, good that I was finally going back home. But bad that I would have to spend the night here... I really hoped they had breakfast fully clothed.

After a quick talk with Collin about my plans for tomorrow, I head back up to the room I changed in.

I return home the next morning with quite literally an army. Though I'm not sure why Garreth or Enderson couldn't pick me up, I'm really starting to doubt their love. And I know that's a terrible thing to think but I was freaking kidnapped! And they couldn't spare two minutes to fly over here and come get me?

Mark my words mates you had better have a damn good excuse for leaving me stranded out here.

But I'm bitter and pissed I've been sitting alone in their carriage traveling back to the capital, and all this time alone has given me time to think and reflect.

And I think; my life is total chaos!

Frankly at this point in my life I have no idea what I was expecting, well if I'm honest I didn't realize I'd lasted this long. I thought I'd be battered and bruised and dead.

After a few more hours in that dreadful carriage, we finally arrived back at the capital, my mood had somewhat changed though. I've realized my life could be worse, it could be a hell of a lot better but nonetheless... I'm sure Garreth and Enderson had a perfectly reasonable answer to not picking me up, and if not... well I'm gonna raise hell.

After a few minutes of strolling through the town, I'm starting to realize how utterly quiet it was. As if the chaos that had happened a few days ago was long forgotten.

But as we got closer to the palace the quiet soon turned into screams of horror, the guards around my carriage immediately went on the defense. And frankly so did I.

"Majesty please stay inside." One of the guards shouts.

Most of the guards immediately start writing towards where this stranger coming from hopefully going to help out the citizens that were most likely in danger. But of course staying inside has never been my thing so of course I am easily got out of the carriage I would not be some helpless damsel in distress anymore.

I quietly get out of the carriage and sneak past the last few guards. Then I immediately start Sprinting the last few ways up to the castle but I didn't immediately go in the castle I had it around all the training field were because that is where most of the sound and noises were coming from.

Once I crossed back behind it, it looked like the internal Inferno of Hell. Trees were on fire and it seems like winged beast were fighting in the sky and I knew this wasn't a nightmare...

I watch on in absolute horror, well now I can see why they didn't come get me I think to myself.

"What to do? What to do?" I mumble to myself.

I've got to do something! Eventually I'm no longer thinking instead I'm running towards the danger, no plan in mind but I only know I must act.

"Enough!" I shout.

I get no response from anyone letting me know they even heard me in the first place so I try again.

"ENOUGH!" I scream with every inch of will power I ever possessed.

They all appear to stop but still refusing to take their eyes off each other. They still circle each other up in the sky just above my head.

"This cannot continue!" This still doesn't get them to take there eyes off of each other or hell even acknowledge me.

"SHIFT BACK!" I shout at the three of them using every ounce of breath I held in my lungs. They paused for a moment but relentlessly all three of them  landed on the ground and changed back into their human forms.

They looked like shit.

Probably something close to what I looked like when they first found me. I was breathing heavily but I wasn't the only one.

The beast finally took his eyes of off my mates and looked at me, the fiery anger in his red eyes that I had first seen in my nightmares now appeared in reality. He hesitated for a moment and then tried to take a step towards me but two other to growls stopped him and made him release one of his own.

"She's coming with me!" He demanded.

"No!" The both denied and both went into attack positions.

"She's my mate and she's coming back with me" he spat venomously.

"No!-" I said this time grabbing all three of their attentions. "I'm not your mate, she died years ago" I explained my voice shaking with each word.

"She cannot be dead!" He denies.

But I barely hear him I'm to busy looking in the background at the several soldiers aiming a canon straight for us. And I realized in that moment that there would never be any peace unless he was dead...he was robbed of his mate but that doesn't make me his... I want to be with mine and I wasn't willing to give up my life for this kingdom's peace... maybe I wasn't born to lead because I know I would sacrifice everything for my mates and they would do the same for me. Maybe that's why I didn't tell him about the canon. I didn't even move or flinch but I saw the tormentor of these last few months be shot. 

And it killed him...

The fight was over and just in time too because tomorrow night would be the Blood Moon...

No one would mourn this beast, no one even knew his name. But maybe he could finally be with his true mate, just like I would be with mine.
