Sarina's P.O.V.

When I woke up the next morning I was surprised to see that I was alone. Luckily though one of them were nice enough to at least put my nightgown back on me.

Not wanting to stay in the room for much longer I quickly high tailed it out of there and into my room. Just in time too because not a moment later someone was knocking on my door.

Without waiting for me to tell them to enter Stephanie popped in.

"Did I just see you sneaking out of the Kings chamber?" She asked is a rushed whisper.

"No" I quickly denied.

"We don't need anymore liars Your Highness" she scolded.

After a few seconds of debating I finally caved, mostly wanted to get that disapproving look off of her face. "Fine!"

"Tell. Me. Everything!" She shouted before bounding towards my bed and plopping onto her stomach looking up at me with wistful looking eyes.

"What are you doing?" I asked confused by her reaction.

"Uh waiting for girl talk, go ahead spill" she replied like it was the most obvious thing.

Soon enough I started pacing my room Stephanie sat quietly on my bed watching me go back-and-forth, back-and-forth and back-and-forth.

"I'm just not seeing your dilemma here your majesty" Steph said sensing my inner turmoil.

"Of course you're not you weren't there last night" I reply still not stopping to sit.

"Just based off of what you told me I really wish I was there last night" she mused. I shot her a glare before finally stopping and sitting next to her on my bed.

"It's just that I've never acted that way before it's like I didn't have any control over my body" I confessed

"Oooo tell me more" Steph said while wiggling her eyebrows at me.

"It was amazing" I said breathlessly.

"But?" Steph asked, and I hated that she knew me so well by now.

"They weren't there when I woke up" I grumbled.

"Oh!" Stephanie said as if she'd just found gold.

"What?" I ask skeptically.

"I know why they weren't there this morning" and after a short pause and my death glare she continues, "They had a press conference this morning, you know cause of the brutal attack that went on last night, and oh! Oh!"

"Just spit it out women!" I shout becoming impatient with this girl.

"They suspect it may have been planned by someone on the inside". She finally spits out.

"Really?" I ask, thinking back to that ugly smirk on Victoria's face after last nights events.

"But enough about that, theirs more than your leading on, isn't their?" Steph asked.

"How do I politely tell them I want them to shove me up against the wall and viciously make out with me?" I blurt out before falling into my bed.

"Girl you got it bad" Step commented.

"Thank you for captioning my life" I say but it comes out muffled because my head is shoved into a pillow.

"Girl pull yourself together you're a Queen for goodness sake" She said then proceeded to pull me into a sitting position. But what she said only reminded me at the fact the my big coming out party was tomorrow.

"Tomorrow!" I shout before leaping off the bed and accidentally pushing Steph off the other side.

"Tomorrow? What's tomorrow?" She asked breathlessly while standing up.

"The party, no need to pretend I already found out about it" I scold.

"Ohhh that party, Uh well before you decide to scold me anymore let's get you dressed you smell like sex" Steph said ushering me towards my bathroom.

Steph set the bathroom up and I began to soak in the tub while she left to get my outfit for the day. I was only in the bathroom maybe 20, 30 minutes not nearly enough time to fully relax. But definitely enough time to get the smell of sec off of me, I hoped.

When Stephanie finally came back she was holding luckily not another dress but something more long the lines of every day where but still looking regal somehow.

It was more reveling than I was used to but hey at least it wasn't a dress. So I think I will be able to live with this.

Once I was dressed I set off trying to find the two that had left my cold and alone this morning. Press conference or not they could have at least woken me up.

I started wandering through the halls, I didn't find either Enderson or Garreth but I did find the palace to be in full swing despite what had happened last night.

There were brand new faces I had never seen before, apparently they don't waste time in hiring more help around here.

Instead of looking for the Kings I started looking for Roger he was more likely to be found, especially with everyone decorating the castle. He had to be ordering people around here somewhere, and wherever Roger is the two numb nuts couldn't be too far away.

I took another passageway and at the end of the hallway came a door, I heard faint voices so I decided to open the door and came face-to-face with Garreth and Enderson and another woman.

"Ah Sarina you're just in time!" Garreth said excitedly.

"In time for what?" I hesitantly asked.

"Your dress fitting, of course" Enderson responded.

"We'll leave you two it!" Garreth rushes out, literally. Soon enough I'm left with the women.

I finally get a good look at her, she's a spirit. A peacock to be specific. That really isn't unusual considering they are usually involved in the fashion industry and they took it seriously.

She was very gorgeous, there was no way of knowing her actual age because spirits aged a lot slower than we did. On the outside she looked to be in her mid-30s covered in copious amounts of make up and her dark hair was tied into a bun. She looked at me impatiently guess I was wasting her precious time.

"Come now we don't have much time" she demanded. She pushed me behind a curtain and told me to strip.

"At least by me dinner first" I replied trying to make light of the situation.

She didn't find it funny.

After a few minutes I had finally managed to put on the monstrosity she called a dress.

She gasped as I came out, and it looked like tears were welling up in her eyes, "You look stunning Your majesty" she said.

"Thanks," I had to take her word for it, there were no mirrors in this room.

The lady took a few more measurements from my dress needing to tighten it in a few places. Afterwards I took the dress off and put back on my lovely pants then then headed to find the two that had abandoned me for the second time in less than 24 hours, oh they were going to pay.

This time I was on a mission, for some reason I decided to check our private kitchen first.

And wouldn't you know it that where I found them, making breakfast and it had better be for me.

"Are you just going to stand there all day?" Garreth asked amusement in his voice.

"Maybe, I haven't decided if I'm still mad at you or not."

"Would it help if we said this food was for you?" Enderson asked.

"Yes, yes it would" I replied while coming to sit at the island.

"Now why are you upset?" Garreth asked while setting a plate of waffles down in front of me.

"Oh... you LEFT me! TWICE!" I shout at the two. And if they were in there wolf forms their tails would no doubt be between there legs.

"Sorry" they both reply in unison.

I say nothing in return but I just start eating my waffles.

Garreth clears his throat bringing my attention back to him.

"So... about last night... did you like it?" Garreth asked almost like he was afraid of the answer.

"Yes, but-"

The yes had them both brighten up, but the but had them both looking like they'd rather be anywhere but here.

"It's just I've never acted that way, or had been that desperate" I confessed.

"Yeah, Uh that's because you were starting to go through heat." Enderson nervously explained.

"What's heat?" I ask.

"It's when a female finds her mate and if they haven't for lack of a better word consummated their mating the female will go through bouts of heat and pain so that they will consummate" Garreth explains.

"We think because you're not a full spirit that is why you only went through the sexual need part of it and not any of the pain that most women do" Enderson continued.

"Pain?" I paled.

"Yes but don't worry you have nothing to fear we're pretty sure nothing will happen but just to be sure we've called in a professional" Garreth rushes to soothe.

"Oh okay", I breath out.

"Yeah she'll be here soon." Garreth says while looking at the time, it's almost 3.

"Wow it's late to be having breakfast" I comment.

"Yeah we just figured you probably hadn't had it yet, considering around noon when we came to check on you, you were still asleep", Garreth said.

Awww

"Still next time wake me up, we're supposed to be partners in this" I reprimand.

"Noted my Queen" Enderson replied.

"Now come on we must go to the foyer our professional is here" Garreth say and proceeds to herd us out the door.
