The sunrise on such a average Thursday morning. The bright yellow orange and pink among the clouds with a brisk feel in the air. Lexi was off in space thinking of all things need to done in the next as it was going to be her daughters 18th birthday. Under a full spring moon. Lexi had been planning this party for over a year. She was worried and excited Avendra would be her true Fae and would come out and she could find her mate. Lexi was so deep in thought and party planning she didn’t even realize she was going to be late work or that Avendra had walked in to the room. She announced her presence by clearing her throat loadly. Startling her mother from her thoughts. Smiling gently down at her Avendra hugged her mother whispering that she was now late for school and needed to be dropped off. Lexi snapping out of her bag thoughts hearing this quickly changed clothes grabbed coffee and rushed her daughter to the car. After dropping her daughter at school it was off to work nearly an hour late. It will take almost all day to get caught up on work. Normally she would be an hour early for work looking like a hot mess make her rounds then hang out in her assistance desk the rest of the day but this week is going to long and difficult. Meeting meeting and more meetings as all corners of the kingdom would be sendings leaders and speakers in and out. Instead of a hot mess she looked the part of corporate ceo of a large shipping company to the Normies and Queen to all the Fae. Nails filed sharp hair long black and full of volume. Standing at 5’7 black slacks a sheer red silk top. As she entered the bustling office all eyes fallowed her as she strolled to the elevator not making her rounds. Her overly bubbly blonde Assistant jumping up to greet her. With a freash cup of coffee and her list of scheduled meetings for the day as they step inside to go. All is now throw at the window as hand grabs the door from closeing. A 7’8 tall pale man with darkest red hair. Muscles rippled tightly in his black suit. Eyes so blue they are almost white.
A grin fallowed by a blush came across Layla the assistant face as she looked this marvel of man.
Hello gorgeous day lady’s said king Mccrane as he shifted in the elevator with his body guards. The body guards look more like the people being protected rather then their king.
King Mccrane leaned one large hand in the wall smiling at down Lexi well how’s does my queen like the arrangements my clan sent?
Silently nodding while reading through her papers not even phased by his charmed like Layla was almost drooling everywhere over them. Finally after a few painful silent minutes a load ding sounded to get off. The body guards and Layla exited first. McCane gestured to doors as he slid to side smoothly saying beauty befor beast glinting at Lexi heading to the conference room.
Entering in the room Lexi was putting her hai up in a professional bun. Leader from all Fae realm where already seated waiting as she took here’s. They had all gathered to discuss birthday party plans and the yearly mate run. This year would be changed to all all Fae as the princess could take on any Fae form or be hybrid when she takes her transformation under the super moon. Wear wolf, vampire, faerie siren or even a banshee. Not many leaders seemed happy about the new changes as they all started yelling in protest all but a few that stood along the wall.
Lexi raised her hand making the hole room quickly hushed not a protest or peep you could hear a pin drop. All on the wall now snickering knowing what is to come.
I understand and hear you all but my word is final if you and your clans wish not to attend it will be noted. With that being said I do except you to put your best foot forward and show up dressed to impress that is all for this meeting I hope to see you all in week. We will be sending out updates on plans in a few days. Sliding her seat to stand up alpha of the silver clan blurted is it true the blood king is coming?
All eyes wide in fear looking for an answer
Ugh All have been invited including the blood clan but we do not have a confirmed answer from them. Now out! Lexi exclaimed while pushed against the table her hair seeming to be on fire with a cold tight facial expression.
The room still on edge all who was seated scrambled out the door tripping over each other scared to find out the queen’s temper.
Those who where standing shut the door taking a seat. On lexi’s left was McCane alpha of silver wear wolf clan, Alpha Stain of stain vampire clean and so on the elders of all Fae seated.
Alpha Stain piped up well Blood Clan is that really what they are worried about? Not the fact most of us are in a battle or war? Don’t worry about that I do have it covered pointing at her necklace it’s silver wolfs Bain infused with salt and copper to keep us all from transforming before hand. And if that doesn’t work we have other safety measures in place. Any other questions or stupid statements? She said

Dandelion was a 20 year old strawberry blonde young mother working at the match bar. Barely able to make ends meet raising three young children. It was a cold February she had just clocked in for a 12 hour shift at the Match.

Curious as to why he was yelling he sound frantic. She asked the Janell to watch her tables.
She hastily walk the cascading corridor to his office.
He was a short stubby man that resembled a garden gnome that wasn’t so jolly.
Giving a brief smile to him she inquired why she had asked to come to the office.
A grimy smile creased his face giving nightmare murder vibes

Her draw dropped almost immediately stunned at his request! After a minute of silence she pulled her phone out of pocket and dialed her mates letting them know last min gig be at the Match in 10 minutes to preform.
The motley crew all showed up with in 5 minutes ready to play. Dandelion was nervous no one at her job had ever heard the band play beforehand. To make it more complicated there was normally a talent scout in the always very large crowd. Take a deep breath and a few vocal warm ups Dandelion walked out onto stage.
The crowd all silent broke out into applause and whoop and howls. Raising hands in apparition she took the mic. The night was a blur from that point on. Flash’s in memory are all the remains. The band introduced first song to the encore sweat light heart beating load is all she could hear and see befor existing stage left how time had flown 8 p.m now 3 in the morning
While catching her breath in a daze Janell came strolling up with an excited wiggle walk.

As Janell was yammering on neither of them noticed the older lady in all black jump suit slowly walking up to them quietly listening in.
Just 3 thousand you say the lady chimed in. Making them both jump five feet in the air. Knocking chairs and glass bottles every where.
Duck lady! You scared the biscuits out of us exclaimed Janell with crooked look on her face looks the lady up and down.
She was tall slender build black pin suit tapered in black hair heavily weighted down to match middle part in the center she was all business even her face showed it.
Thin long high point facial features.

I just wanted to speak to the band. You see I’m a record scout and that was the best performance I’ve seen this club ever produce. IT WAS RAW ENERGETIC AND ALL AROUND SHOW STOPING! She said enthusiastically.
With jaws on the floor Dandelion still shaking voiced cracked yelled to her band members to come to the door. They all piled out squeezing out the door all at the same time. Where again the business women explained who she was and why she was there.
All agreeing to meet on Monday at the biggest record company in town at 3pm. The shore side records. The lady handed them her information card.

They guys hung back as and chatted excitedly as Dandelion gathered her things to go home as it was the end of shift. When Mr. Southernland came strolling up to congratulate her on the performance and to give her a bands performance check.
It wasn’t a lot but more then what she would have made serving the tables even if was being spit she was going home with a good profit.
She excitedly thanked him told everyone good night. By the time she walked home she was drained. Sneaking into the house trying to not to dare wake the kids or her mother.
She safely made it into the house shower and pjs when the youngest came into the room.
Letting a slight grown out from exhaustion. She smiled at her little mini carbon copy. Scooping her up in arms they flopped on the small twin bed. Snuggling her her arms with a large yarn and little one rubbing her eyes they both passed out around 4 in the morning.
What felt like a small nap Dandelion was woken around 9 by little squiggles as Mabel couldn’t stay still longer.
Wake up! Wake up! It’s time to get up mommy! Mabel gently whispered.
