Octavian

Today is the day. I'm finally going to have my queen, my beauty, my Winter. I've been planning this for years, she is finally going to be my queen.

I can't wait to kiss her sweet lips, to feel her shudder with lust for me, my angel is finally mine. I want to do a happy dance but I stop myself.

For her I've been patient, something I'm not for anyone else. She's going to be mine, I've done many things for her, she better be happy for it. It will prove my love for her, my need for her, my want.

"Are they ready to go get their Queen?" I asked my right hand man.

"Of course they are. They are hoping there will be a battle so that they can show her how strong and willing to protect her they are,"

"Good, her coronation will start soon,"

I fix my tie looking into the mirror, we were in my bedroom. I was making sure I looked presentable for my woman, she's going to die of lust for me.

"How is Krest?"

"He's with Ares, he wasn't feeling good so she's taking care of him, he's in her wing. She didn't want to be far from him if he were to get sick again,"

"It's fine, how do I look? If you were a woman would I make you aroused?" I raise an eyebrow at that, for some reason I smile at the idea.

"Um," he clears his throat," of course King Octavian, I would be very aroused,"

"Good," turning back to the mirror I smile at myself before kissing my reflection. I can't help but to laugh, it's  dark and twisted like Winter's curly hair and my soul. I can't wait to see how she looked today, she'll look more like a goddess than she normally does.

My woman is so beautiful, of course she is if she wasn't she wouldn't be mine. Giving myself one last glance I walk out my room making my way to the car outside. I was to go see my warrior first than go to change into my battle wear to then get my dear love.

Before the driver could start the car my stomach growls," Oh I forget to ear breakfast. Silly me, I'll be back in a quick minute Quin,"

"Of course sir,"

I run inside and sit at the table kicking my foot back and forth. Not long after someone brings out my food and water, can't be going into battle on an empty stomach.

Krest POV

Years ago I made a promise to Damien, I was going to free him and let him have control of his body all he had to do for me was protect me and Ares.

He agreed, as soon as he did I told Ares and she started to give Wayland the antidote, it was hard but we always found a way to get him to either eat it or drink it. We couldn't give him to much at once or else Octavian would know and kill us.

Ares and I are now hidding inside Octavian's castle, if Damien does keep his promise he was going to come for us. If not we were going to die sooner rather than later when they found out what we did.

He knew exactly where we were, as soon as Winter is crowned Queen I was to let him and Strom free of my hold.

"Krest?" Ares mumbles.

"Yes?"

"I don't know what's going to happen but if it goes bad I want you to run. Damien may have given his word but we may never know, he's angry many things have been taken away from him." She sighs," His people call him weak, his parents don't care for him now like when he was little. His sister, she makes sure to stay away from the character Octavian painted Damian to be. Winter has probably given up on him, I would to if I were her. She's been through a lot."

"I understand, I've done some vile things as him,"

"No you don't understand, I use to work for the Castopian royal family when I was younger," that shocked me she never told me that.

"Really?"

"Yes, I'm going to tell you a story but I need you to listen ok." I nod," The king was happy that his mate was pregnant, when they found out it was twins they couldn't wait for their joys to be born. They thought it was going to be two boys but got a surprise when Winter came out first. The King wasn't mad or angry he was happy that his heir was alive and well, the Queen on the other hand hated Winter.

Her name Queen Rosali, she hates the power that Winter would get and she could never have. Rosali wasn't born a royal she was a general's daughter and the King married her as a promise to his father. What neither the King, Rosali nor the general thought of was Amelia, Rosali's twin being the King's mate. Rosali was barren, so they made a deal, Amelia was to become pregnant with the next heir.  She would be allowed to see him but only as an aunt not mother.

Rosali would be seen in public with the King and children but behind closed door Amelia would be there as Alexander, the King's mate . They would share a bed and do all what mated do, many people who didn't know the true story said that Amelia was his mistress. They named Winter after Rosali, Amelia was furious. Her child, her only daughter named after her sister, the one who took away her mate from her,"

"Wow,"

"Sshh, so as I was saying they named Winter after her. Amelia continued to raise the kids until Winter's third birthday Rosali tried to kill Winter and Alexander thought it was Amelia. He didn't listen to her when she said it wasn't her and threw her out the castle and band her from seeing the children.

Rosali would slip things into Winters food to kill her, but it would never work. Augustus would never leave Rosali and Winter alone together. Alexander loved them both but being close to Winter reminded him of his mate. So he stayed away from her, many bad things happens to that little girl some thoughg it was the King but in reality it was the Queen, here aunt.

When she was young Rosali give her something and that caused Winter to slowly start dying she was four. Alexander took both the children to a temple and asked the goddess to save his child. She did and give Winter a gift. No one knows what that gift is, my son knows that she is special that's one of the reason his wants her so bad."

"What's the other?"

"He truly loves her, in his own twisted way he loves her. I'll tell you that story another time I promise,"

"Where is Amelia now?"

"I don't know, Amelia made her mother promise to protect Winter, the council woman used all her power to get Winter into the academy early."

"There is more to the story isn't there?" She smiled and nod at me.

"Now go back and be Wayland, my son still has people watching him. We can't have him know something is up and coming looking for us now can we," I agree with her before closing my eyes.

"Soon you'll be free Damian,"

Draven POV

Nick walks into my room followed by my father. They both looked tired just like me. These past months have been tiring I've been helping Winter train like she use to and have control like she use to.

She's stronger now but something is off. I don't know what it is but it's off and I don't like the feeling. I'm usally in some type of control but I have a feeling something is going to happen.

The coronation will start soon but it doesn't feel right. Octavion is coming which is according to plan, Winter is ready like the plan, the Julex are ready to remove everyone as soon as Octavion comes like the plan. We didn't want to tell anyone the plan, we don't want to chance it getting to Octavion's ears.

"Something is wrong and I can feel it, our warriors are on stand by and the Julex are ready to teleport them as soon as they're needed," my father says.

Most of the warriors that are going to fight in this war will be the hounds and some of Winter's army and some of his. The rest of Winter's army will be protecting Castopia and some of Wayland's land.

Wayland he seems a little different since the last time I've seen him. I don't know if it's good different or not but it's different. It's been months since I've seen him so I don't know what to think.

"I can't feel it too. Something is off, but there is nothing we can do. Winter is getting ready as we speak and if we back out now, our work would all be for nothing," I explain. I rub my stiff neck trying to get some tension out.

"It was going to be an alignment of the sun and moons today but it's like they refuse to align."

As soon soon as my father says that I feel my heart sink, something is off.

Winter-rose POV

The date of my birthday and coronation came faster than anyone hoped for.

Yes we had almost a year to prepare but how can you prepare for something you know nothing about.

The information we got from the labs were useful but what if he changed them? What if we're not strong enough to fight and win? What if we're not enough to win this war? What if I'm not strong enough to command the hounds and the others?

So many what ifs were running through my head. It's the first time I would be leading such a battle. My parents know about it, as well as the grand council, Draven though it would be a great idea to tell them. Only them and some trusted people.

If anything were to happen to me, Draven was in charge until he found a replacement. He had his own kingdom to worry about, if Octavian were to take me he was in charge of my kingdom. Even though Wayland and I were married we never marked each other so he can't claim Castopia or any Castopians.

I pulled some favours and had Castopia hidden from the outside world. Our kingdom was no longer only hidden by the shield but also protected using old Terikian (Tur-EEk-ian) magic, the spell will go up not only around my kindgom but also Wayland's, I am there Queen and even if I wasn't formally introduced as so, I'm going to protect them. The spell goes up only when I become Queen it can only come down with a true royal werewolf command.

A week before my coronation I went home to Castopia. It was a breathe of fresh air, it reminded me why I fought the way I did, so that I can protect them.

I sit down in front of my mirror looking at myself in the mirror. My make-up was already done to perfection, my hair in a dutch braid down my back. All that was left was for my to put on my shoes, dress and tiara.

(Her hair is black)

I lean back in the chair, Wayland was here today. When I saw him I ran to him pretending I missed him, if I didn't everyone would know something is wrong with us, with me.

He smiled and kissed my forehead saying how he missed me so much. When his lips touched my head I felt nothing. Now that my memories are back I can't feel anything for this bastard. He's pathetic and isn't worth my time, energy or the tears I've cried for him.

Looks like Thorne was wrong about him.

A knock on the door brings me back to reality, there stood my grandmother. In her hands was the tiara I was to wear, my mother wore it during her coronation to become Queen.

(Imagine it gold)

If I ever have a daughter she was to wear it to and so forth. There is one for boys to its just really basic compared to this one.

"You Ok?" She questions me," if your not we can reschedule."

"I'm fine, I'm tired but fine. Is it time yet?"

"Almost you have an hour before you have to be down there,"

I nod taking the tiara from her hand and setting it down on the table in front of me. She leaves, I turn to my dress before calling the helpers in to help me get inside of it.

Once I'm done they take pictures for the newspapers, television etc. It was also to do in my personal file, each royal and person who has worked in tbe castle had there own section. In my book this would go to my coronation section.

(It was so hard to find a dress that wasn't wedding looking or short, or not royal enough)

I look up at the time to see I only have fifteen minutes left. Looking in the mirror I give myself a small smile hoping it will be ok.

"It's time Princess Winterria, General Benjamin is waiting for you outside,"

"Thank you ladies,"

The door opens and Bean walks inside in a black and gold suit. As soon as the door close he hugs me, he steps back and slips on air. I'm not even sure now but he does it.

"For a General you sure are clumsy," I laugh.

"I had so much fun with that. Maybe I should become a General, but not all the boring name part just General Bean will do." He gets up and dust off his pants," I have all our warriors waiting for your command if anything happens. Drake and the others are making sure the everything will run smoothly, as soon as you become official Queen the Julex will teleport everyone to safety,"

"Thank you for doing this,"

"Your like my sister of course I would do anything for you," I smile at that. What Bean and I have is what I wished August and I had, but you can't always have what you wish for.

"Alright let's get me ready for coronation," I take his hand walking out the door.
