"What do you mean?" Cami wiped her eyes as she asked me the only thing she could think of. "I'm leaving, I have to," I began as I grabbed her hands. "It's all too much for me. I can't keep being around here, seeing him...with her. I'll never get out of this mood I've been in, I'll never find my mate," I stood up and started to pace around my floor. "For Goddess' sake, I almost ruined your wedding and Evelyn's," "We didn't invite Karter, and when he showed up, we had to make sure you were okay," Camilla told me as she took my hand and lead me to the sofa. "You didn't ruin anything or almost ruin anything, we both love you!" "I couldn't live with myself if I did, Cami, but it doesn't change the fact that I have to leave," I replied wiping my eyes from the tears that were falling. "No, no, I'm calling Evelyn," She held up her finger grabbing her phone from her bright yellow purse. "What?!" Evelyn screamed as Cami put her on speakerphone. "You can't just leave us, Euphemia!" "She's

"What did you say?" Camilla asked as I put her on speakerphone. "I'm going look for places today," I replied getting out of the shower and towel-drying my hair. "What about those guys, the ones that chased you?" She questioned, and I could tell she didn't like me so far away. "I haven't seen them in days, they stopped at the sign entering the town," I made my way back into the room rummaging through my suitcase to find clothes. "Maybe they have issues with someone living there," She spoke out, as I gathered my shoes from the closet. "Perhaps, but I really like it here, the last few days here feel great," I grabbed my keys and headed out the door. "I don't know I feel like I belong," "Well, you know here is your home, and if you ever feel not right anymore, come back here. You know David and Bash will go back to fighting over you," She laughed, I could just imagine how she was throwing her head back. "Well, I'll give it some more time before I let the two guys I grew up with fig

"This is preposterous!" Constance, the Queen Mother, yelled out amongst the staff at her son. "It has never been, no royal has ever been mated to a commoner. It simply isn't done, if need be we will mate you properly," "Mother, I have listened to you for years, but I have finally found my mate. I will not squander this, she is mine!" Killian roared as he threw open the door and stormed down the stairs. "She can not be Queen!" His Mother screamed over the balcony as she followed behind him. "You can't be here," Came a voice from around the corner of the rose garden. "I saw you with Penelope Roper, looks like you snuck away trying to sneak a peek at the King?" Mara teased as she made her way closer to Euphemia. "No, I'm..." I began as I sat on the concrete bench to the left of me. "You're what?" Mara taunted as she crept closer. "I know girls like you, you're trying everything possible to insert yourself closer to King Killian. Well, I've got news for you, the position will soon be

"Do you believe that I love you?" Killian questioned as he sat on the edge of my bed. "I've waited so very long to find you, I'm not letting go," "I don't know how to explain it, I mean no one's explained how this works, I just know that I love you," I replied as I stood against the wall with my arms crossed. "What do you mean no one's explained it?" He asked getting up from the bed and moving toward me. "I uh, don't really have a family," I paused as he grabbed my arms gently rubbing his fingers down them. "My mother left my father, her mate when I was ten years old. She never said why she left she just did, with an alpha in the next town over, The Shadow Pack, I believe, I never heard from her again," I sniffled looking up at him before I swallowed and continued on. "My father, after she rejected him, just gave up on life and drank himself into a coma. My Uncle Peter, my father, James' brother, and his wife, Melissa, have been keeping him in the hospital. I sold the house with eve

"My love," Killian began as he watched me walk to the bathroom. "I'd like for you to meet my men," "Your men?" I asked through the closed door. "Yes, the men that work directly with me, you will be seeing them daily, I see it pertinent to introduce you," Killian spoke louder as he slipped his shirt over his head. "Are you sure?" I asked as I opened the door. "Of course my love, I enjoyed last night, even if I had to sleep on the other side of the bed. Holding you last night was more than I could have asked for." The King said as he walked slowly toward me, wrapping me in his arms. "Come, the car is waiting downstairs," "Good morning, Sire," The chestnut-haired Fitz, the driver spoke out as he opened the door. "Madam," "Morning, we're off to Princeton Ways today," Killian moved aside so I could make my way in the car. "What's Princeton Ways?" I questioned lowly as Killian grabbed my hand. "My sixth great-grandfather, Ian, built it for his son, Divert, to be brought up in. He was
