Sarina's P.O.V.

"Well that happened," I say breathlessly.

I take in a few breaths trying my best to get rid of the crimson color no doubt all over my face. I'm angry I remind myself, well more like I'm trying to persuade myself that I am in fact angry at what they had just done.

"I should be angry shouldn't I?" I said asking no one in particular. I shake my head trying to get what just happened out of my head.

Then I'm suddenly hit with the gorgeous room I'm standing in,"Woah." Even from just peering into the room earlier it was magnificent but standing in it gave it a whole new effect.

I look around the room for a little while, every bit of it is just so amazing. The only thing I don't like it the fact that there's a small platform that requires another set of stairs to get to. I open a few doors and the first one leads me to a massive closet.

I've never seen so many clothes in my life, not even the shifters I was forced to work for had this many clothes. And trust me with as many times as I've had to clean their rooms it was no exaggeration.

There were rows and rows of clothes, shoes, and all kinds of bags, not to mention everything was in multiple different colors. Anything and everything a girl could ever dream of.

Ballgowns, heels, sneakers, purses and so many damn accessories. It took so much restraint for me to not squeal in excitement. Playing dress up had never been really appealing to me when I was younger, but right now I wanted to do nothing else.

Once the first effect of the closet began to where off I stumbled around the closet and grabbed some soft looking clothes thinking they would be nice to sleep in. I walked out of the closet of my dreams and started looking for the bathroom.

It took a few wrong turns and a few really wrong doors but I finally made it, and it absolutely took my breath away.

It was stunning, but my first question was, who puts a chandelier in the bathroom? And over the tub no doubt, that couldn't be safe... but on the other hand I really needed to clean the sterile smell off of me, so I'm sure it would be fine.

The bathroom looked to made out of the finest marble they could find, I mean if this I what my room looked like I wonder what their's looked like? Maybe everything was made out of gold and diamonds in their room? And now my curiosity wasn't gonna let me stop thinking about it.

I put my clothes down next to the bathtub and decide to run myself a nice relaxing bath. I open a cabinet looking for some soap, I grab all the stuff I'll need, including the soap for the bubble bath.

I quickly turn on the water and put the stopper in, then dump the entire bottle of bubble bath into the water.

After a few minutes there's more bubbles than bath,"this may have been a mistake" I say eyeing the huge mountain of bubbles. It keeps growing though and soon enough I can't see the tub, I can only see the monster I've created.

Thinking better of it I turn off the water, it took me a few minutes to even find the knob cause of all the bubbles and by the end I was covered in bubbles, but with the water finally turned off, it thankfully stops the bubbles. But I'm unsure of how to reverse the effects of what I've just done, so I just decide to just take a simple shower instead.

I'm too tired anyway to try and figure it out.

I begin to peel away my clothes, only to be reminded of the bandages that cover most of my body, I hadn't paid much attention to them back at the hospital but now they had my full attention. I started chewing on my lip while debating on whether or not I should take them off.

I think back to how deep the wounds felt when they were inflicted, it would probably be best if I just left them there, and try not to get them too wet.

It takes another few minutes to figure it out how to even use the shower, I thought I had gotten it right but once I actually got in the shower it was freezing. So I quickly turned the knob in the opposite direction hoping it would warm up the water and it did. Too much. It was practically boiling, and my skin instantly began to redden. And after almost ten more minutes I finally got the temperature just right.

Once I'm done with my shower, I put on the soft looking clothes I grabbed earlier. And boy was I right these are really comfortable! I glance over at the mountain of bubbles that still hadn't dissipated,"I'm sure that will be fine" I mumble.

Leaving the bathroom I take a running start and leap into the bed, it bounces and I flop around on it.

"You know someone could get used to this, and I think I just might", I said and a small grin made its way onto my face.

Hmmm, I'm smiling and it's not a dream, I hope...

Feeling tiredness wash over me I crawl under the covers and drift into the most peaceful sleep I've had in a long time.

~The next morning~

Ah, I feel like I'm sleeping on a cloud, I'm just a big toasty marshmallow I never wanna leave this bed.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Knock!! Knock!! Knock!!

Knock!!! Knock!!! Knock!!!

As the knocking slowly becomes more desperate and louder. I slowly poke one of my eyes open, who would be waking me up at such a reasonable time?

"My lady may I please come in?" A desperate feminine voice calls from the other side of the door.

My lady? That's a new one, but my interest is peeked so I crawl out from my cocoon of warmth and head towards the door. I hesitantly open the door, slightly worried about who's on the other end.

Practically begging that it's not someone like the Duchess.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see a girl about my age, probably a little older. But there's something off about her, she has no spirit energy, she's like me.

"Hello my lady", she greets cheerfully.

"Uh hello", I say back still somewhat suspicious about her.

She glances around for a second before looking back at me,"May I come in?" She asks.

"Oh! I guess" I reply as I back up to let her into the room.

"Now my lady we don't have that much time to get you ready before breakfast", she rushes out before heading to the closet.

What's happening?

Not sure what to do I awkwardly stand in the middle of the room, not a moment later she pops out of the closet holding some things. I'm not quite sure what they are but they look heavy and extremely sparkly.

I really hope those aren't for me...

She gently lays them on the bed allowing me to get a better look at them, or I really should say it and it's a gorgeous dress. Reminds me of a flower almost.

"Now we must get you ready", she say kindly.

"Umm if you don't mind me asking, ready for what?" I ask hoping I'm not being introduced just yet.

I remember Garreth and Enderson talking about it last night, but I don't think I could handle that just yet. I mean most shifters don't like us spiritless and I don't think I could handle the hate of the whole world.

"I'm not sure to be honest," she answers.

"Not know? How could you not know?" I ask shaking my head.

"I don't have a high enough clearance to know," she states simply while shrugging her shoulders.

Great

"Now no more questions", she says before walking into the bathroom, she goes quite for a moment. Then slowly walks back out covered in bubbles. I quickly slap my hands over my mouth to keep myself from bursting out laughing.

"Not a word", she grumbles.

I tried my best to cover the laugh that was bubbling up in my throat. But it was too late I laughed so hard by the end I was on the floor holding my stomach.

"Are you quite finished?" She asks impatiently.

"Uh yes?" I mumble.

"Great! Can we at least get you dressed now?" She says through gritted teeth.

It takes no time at all for me to be dressed in the stunning dress, my hair put into an up due. Surprisingly when she was doing my hair she was extremely gentle. Which is no easy feat, my curls refuse to be tame most of the time, in fact I'm pretty sure at one point literal birds were living in there.

Next I headed towards the private dining area hoping that there would be breakfast waiting for me.

Oh good I was right!

Seeing no one else in sight I make a dash to the table, I sit down and dive into the pile of food that was waiting for me. I get so into to my food I don't notice the two people creeping up on me until it's too late.

"Enjoying the food?" Comes a whisper from my left side.

I practically jump out of my seat,"Ahhhhhh!" I scream. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" I ask the two laughing figures.

"Sorry" Garreth wheeze's.

"Don't look like it" I grumble.

Once they've both finished laughing and I have a permanent scowl on my face, we continue eating. Out of the corner of my eye I see something odd.

"What's that?" I ask Enderson.

"Hummus," he responds simply.

"No I got that, my question is why is there so much? And at breakfast?" I say eyeing the tub of hummus.

"Well a few years ago we invested a large stock in hummus, we thought it was gonna be big," Garreth explains.

"Was it?" I ask.

"No." they both deadpan.

A thought pops into my head and I'm not sure where exactly I got my sudden confidence, but I just couldn't stop myself from what I did next, "Well then it won't matter if I do this!" I say before grabbing two handfuls of hummus and smearing it on both their faces. "And that was for scaring me", I said with a hmpf.

"Oh you're going to pay for that!" Enderson says before throwing food at me.

And that was how we ended up in an all out food fight. "Ok! Ok I call a truce!" I shout from behind the table where I somehow ended up during the fight.

"Ok deal" they say in unison.

Creepy

I poke my head up to see them not nearly covered in food as much as I was. Not fair!

"Umm pardon me your majesty", a faint male voice calls.

"Oh Roger!" Garreth calls.

"Your majesty there is a matter in court that needs your attention" the one called Roger replies.

"What about?" Enderson asks

"It would appear a particular Duke wants to dispute your claim to your mate, and..." he says before fading off.

"And what!?" Garreth yells getting impatient, startling me.

"Your mother seems to be backing him", he says.
