The weekend went by pretty quickly since it was busy. It’s always busy for me. Being the princess my parents always have me performing different tasks. I think they’re trying to slowly prepare me for taking over, when I’m ready to. But it’s a lifetime commitment. And it’s something that they obviously had to get me to start with straight away.
But when I got to school on Monday, Avery was waiting for me and we walked inside the
school together.
We got our books out of our lockers and then we headed towards our first class when I
noticed a familiar and extremely handsome guy walking towards me, getting the attention of
a lot of girls that he was walking past, but his eyes were fixed on me.
“Lucas.” I said, trying to contain my excitement.
“Hi. I was hoping I’d see you before class.” Lucas said.
“I’m really glad that you’re here. I didn’t know if you’d be coming to this school or one of the
others.” I said.
“Well, I had a choice. And then I had to get vetted by the Queen.”
“Yeah. She does that to all new kids that start school with me here. I’m really sorry.” I said,
feeling a little ashamed.
“I don’t mind. If it means that I get to see you again. She can run all the checks on me that she
wants.” Lucas smirked at me.
I looked over at Avery and she was slowly walking away. Trying not to look obvious as she
was walking away to give us some privacy.
“So, I know that you’re probably really busy being the princess and everything like that but I
was wondering if you had any free time this afternoon?” He asked.
“No. I’m not doing anything. I usually only have royal duties on weekends at this point.” I said.
“Great. Did you want to do something after school?”
“Like what?”
“Well, I’m not sure yet. I was thinking that maybe we could see a movie and then get some
dinner?” He asked.
“Alright. That sounds like fun.” I said.
Lucas then looked up at something behind me and I turned around to see Hazel walking our

way with her friends.
Hazel was glaring at me, but she didn’t say anything to me. And she looked at Lucas as she
was walking past.
“What was that?” Lucas asked.
“Just someone that doesn’t like me. You’ll have to ask her why. I wouldn’t have a clue.” I said.
“Well, I guess that’s her problem.” He said. And I smiled at him.
When I got to class I think Avery was just as excited as I was when I told her about my plans.
with Lucas.
She was fussing over what I was going to look like after training, but they have showers in the
locker room and I had clean clothes here. Plus, Avery never left her house without her makeup
bag. So I didn’t have anything to worry about there.
It was hard to concentrate that day, but I had to get my head back into my lessons otherwise I
was going to miss something.
But it was especially hard when Lucas was in the same class as me and I would always catch
him looking at me and smiling.
It would make me blush every time and I was really nervous.
I was afraid that he was going to think I was a loser for blushing every time he looked at me.
I really wasn’t used to the attention that he was giving me.
So when school was finally over that afternoon I had a shower in the locker room and Avery
stayed in there with me the whole time.
I got dressed in a red top, black leather jacket, jeans and black boots.
I didn’t want to get too dressed up for it. And Avery did my hair and makeup.
When she was finally finished I texted my mother that I wasn’t going to be home tonight. I was
having dinner with friends.
She was disappointed but she said that it was alright.
It was only because we always agreed to have dinner together. And we usually did. But they
have to expect me to want to hang out with my friends eventually.
Lucas was waiting out the front of the school when Avery and I walked out and he was
looking at his phone until he heard us walking up to them.
So he put his phone away and he looked up at me.

“Wow. You look great.” He said.
“Thank you.” I said.
“Alright. Well, you two have fun tonight. I’ll be expecting a phone call from you when you get
home.” Avery said, looking at me and I just nodded my head.
Lucas smiled as Avery left and we started walking away from the school and we actually went
to the park first.
There was a movie showing this afternoon but it didn’t start for a little while yet. So we sat on
the swings talking.
“So, where were you before you came here?” I asked.
“I was living in a pack in the states. Near Seattle.” He said.
“Oh yeah. Lucky you. I’ve never left this place.”
“How is that possible? Aren’t you the princess? Don’t you travel a lot?”
“No. Wolves always come to see my mother. We don’t really have to go anywhere. And when they do have to leave, I usually stay here because my mother doesn’t want me to get behind
on school work.” I explained.
“I guess I can understand that.” He said.
“I can’t. I hate it. I’d love to travel. I guess I’ll get my chance when I graduate high school.”
“Yeah. Of course. Do they want you to go to college?”
“Yeah. Mom does. But she said that it’s up to me when I go. She said that I can take a year off before I go to college if I want. She’s really leaving that part up to me.”
“Well, that sounds alright. At least she’s not trying to control the whole rest of your life. Only until you graduate high school.” He explained.
“I guess. My mom’s pretty cool. Strict when she has to be but loved by everyone.” I said.
“Yeah. I’ve heard that. I guess they are big shoes to fill.”
“You have no idea. I don’t know how I am going to take over when she leaves me in charge.”
“I’m sure you’ll be properly trained by then.” Lucas said. And I smiled at him.
“I really hope so. It’s scary. But my mother was thrown into it. She didn’t want it but she didn’t have a choice. Not until the last second. She needed to take on the crown in order to protect
my dads.” I explained.
“Yeah. We’ve all heard that story. Of the dragonite.” He said. And I nodded my head. “Where is

CHAPTER 005
that dragonite now?”
“I don’t know. Mom has it somewhere but don’t ask me where. I don’t want to know which is
why I’ve never asked. I’m not even sure she’ll tell me just yet. But no one has any idea how
powerful that stuff is. It’s not to be messed with.” I explained.
“Yeah. Doesn’t it control the dragons?”
“Nothing controls the dragons. But their loyalty is to our throne. And all royal family members have a guardian dragon. You met mine the other night.” I said.
“Yeah. That’s right. I did. That thing was scary.” He said but I started laughing.
“He’ll be less scary when and if he gets to know you.”
“What do you mean ‘if‘?”
“Well, we’ll see how today goes first.” I said.
When the movie started we found our seats and we were chatted a little bit through the movie
but not much.
We went to the diner to get dinner afterwards, which I actually suggested. Lucas thought he
had to take me to a fancy restaurant or something, but I thought that was a joke.
We had a really good time. We were getting to know each other and talking and we actually
got along really easily.
He walked me back home afterwards but we stopped at the bottom of the stairs.
“I think I should go the rest of the way from here.” I said.
“I kind of feel like I should walk you to the door.”
“I know. But my dads are really protective. And Zidrith will be waiting.”
“Okay. I can leave it here. I don’t want to get cooked alive.” He said and I started chuckling at
him.
“I had a really good time tonight.” I said.
“So did I. I hope we can do it again real soon.” He said.
“Yeah. Me too. Just name the time.” I said.
Lucas was looking at me pretty intensely. Staring into my eyes when he slowly moved in
closer and he slowly kissed me on the mouth.
He pulled away and moved my hair out of my face and kissed me on the forehead before he
walked off.

I watched him walk away for a moment before I turned towards the stairs.
I looked up and Zidrith was standing on the stone wall that was around the whole outside of
the castle and my three dads were lined up at the top of the stairs with their arms crossed.
“Damn.” I said to myself. And I slowly started walking up the stairs slowly.
