“now Lucy, we have already organized an entire new wardrobe for you, when you return to your room there will be a dress waiting for you on the bed, wear that tonight.”
“Yes your majesty.”
“no sweetie, you can call me Lisa.”
“And you could call me Jeremy.” The king announced with a warm smile.
I returned their smile, thankful to at least be around a loving family for once, excluding the prince of course.

Austin’s POV:
The pack would have to be more careful around the castle now that Lucy was here and had no clue about werewolves .I felt my hatred towards her grow once more, she just kept disrupting everyones lives and she only just got here.
“Everyone’s here.”Alex reported.
“Good.”I responded turning to face everyone.”This meeting is to discuss the arrival of Princess Lucy.She has absolutely no idea that we are werewolves or that they even exist for that matter, as such, no one is allowed to be around her in werewolf form.Everyone must go about the castle with caution from now on to ensure that she never finds out.”I announced as the pack went up in an uproar.
“Why must we do this for a newcomer ?”Anthony demanded ,he always opposed anything I said so this wasn’t anything new to me.
“Yeah.”Everyone else agreed .
“Look I assure you no one could be more upset about this than me but we also can’t forget that she is the only reason our kingdom was saved , this is not only for her but the safety of our pack.We can’t have a human knowing about us .”I reasoned .
“Alpha, we have a problem.”Alex interrupted .
“What’s wrong?”I asked on alert , he never interrupted me unless it was a serious matter.
“We just got word that there is a rogue on the loose and he is getting closer to the castle as we speak.”
“Why do I sense that there is more to this?”I asked studying his tensed posture .
“Alpha.”He started.”I think Princess Lucy is in the castle’s gardens .”
My eyes snapped up to his at his words, my wolf suddenly becoming restless and was that fear I sensed? My wolf had never been scared of anything in its entire life.
What the hell was happening ?
Before anyone could respond I shifted into my wolf and raced towards the castle.
I had to get to her.
nOW!
.
Lucy’s POV:
The palace’s garden was beautiful , much more than the one back home , I inhaled the scent of the gorgeous red roses in front of me and sighed .Something about being around plants always managed to help me feel at peace and this time was no exception.
My mind wandered back to Austin against my wishes ,he had disappeared from the castle yet again, could he be with that woman?The thought of him with her made my heart ache in a way I’ve never felt before which was absurd , I barely knew the prince , why did it affect me so much already?I only just got here and every time I didn’t know where he went bothered me and at times I caught myself hoping to catch a glimpse of him ,something inside me felt at home whenever he was near.
I placed my hands on my chest, right above my heart and pressed hard , hoping it would somehow help the pain I felt there.
What was wrong with me?
A loud howl came from the woods just outside the gardens and I fell back against one of the trees in shock.
What was that?
Waitdid I just hear growling?
Maya came running out along with two other guys I hadn’t seen before , they rushed passed me and out into the woods while Maya stayed behind.
“What’s wrong?”I asked alarmed .
“Oh it’s nothing for you to be concerned about sweetie.”She assured me.”My brothers just always like to uh take a run in the woods every evening.”
“But is it safe?I just heard a howllike from a wolf.”
“Oh.I’m sure you misheard it Lucy, there aren’t any wolves on this side of the forest.”
“Are you sure?”
I knew what I heard.
