(Amara POV)
"Do I need to wear this?" I asked as Mrs. Milet my personal maid since young, chuckled.
"Don’t you get bored asking this question every single time?" she asked back.
"No" I replied in one word as she fixed my skirt pleats.
"There. All pretty and ready to welcome them!" She smiled as I sighed. It's not like I don’t look good, I look amazing but I am not so comfortable with this dress. I will trip on this long skirt train.
"Thank you" I smiled at her. No use trying to say no.
Just then the horn blew up noticing every one of their arrivals.
"Oh oh oh! They are here" Milet was really excited. The whole village was excited. They have the streets, decorated the streets, and even cleaned their house!
It's as if they will go personally to each of their houses.
"I don’t see why you all are excited" I mumbled but her fae ears quickly caught it.
"They are really famous, your majesty. There are many Azurians but they are A class. The most powerful ones. They are not more than 25 years old and they have already reached the top titled. The first team to get the titles. Plus they are all handsome and beautiful! Everyone falls for them" she said as I raised my eyebrow.
"So you have seen them?" I asked making her frown.
"No. But one time they came to the neighboring kingdom and the rumor spread far and wide. Some even drew their pictures and wrote poems and songs of how amazing they are"
That famous? Of course, I have studied about Azurians in my sorcery lessons. They are protectors chosen by the lord. When they are born they will have a mark on their hips and they will be taken to the Azurian headquarters.
The most interesting part of this is the fact that we have no idea where their headquarters is. No one can contact them. But somehow they appear in scenes where their attention is needed, they appear in places where a chosen Azurian is born.
It's always a mysterious process.
As I walked to the throne room I met many people who rushing and running around to arrange everything.
"Your highness. You are still here?! They have already entered the throne room" a short elf guy said making me rush faster.
"Hey hey! I will trip!" I said as I kept stepping on the skirt train. The door to the throne room opened and I stumbled inside gaining everyone's attention.
A sudden wave of the most alluring smell along with a prominent aura filled into my senses making me pause.
"Amara, come fast" Ceil, my cousin mouthed.
"Sorry" I mumbled before lifting the skirt and walking to the throne chair, cursing as I kept tripping on the train. I am definite I tore somewhere.
Once I reached the throne room I stood a few feet back of Uncle Nate and Ceil.
"We are the Azurian Guardians and we are here to investigate regarding a crucial mission" My eyes immediately fell off the person who spoke. My breath hitched and I felt my heart beat so fast I thought it will explode.
Light brown hair, alluring amethyst eyes, a powerful drawing aura- at first glance I felt my heart skip a beat. Our souls bonded. The things around me fade away and my focus was only on him.
His eyes fell on me. It widens for a moment before becoming void.
There is no doubt he can sense me as his mate. But I have learned Azurians have only other Azurians as their mate. But I am definitely not an Azurian and we are definitely mates.
He was hot. He looked my type and I am actually pretty excited to see how this will go.
His void eyes lingered with mine for a few seconds before looking at Uncle.
"We do expect you full corporation and help," he said. His voice was deep and it made me shiver slightly.
"What's your name?" I asked wanting to know it.
"Soren" he replied nonchalantly. His attention was now on me.
"I know your code name is Soren but I meant your real name" I could hear everyone gasp as if I did something very wrong.
The man only raised his eyebrow, a slight amusement evident.
"I do not expose my real name to random people" His voice held boredom making me a glare.
Random people?!
"Excuse me?! Ho-" I was going to counter him but Uncle Nate interfered.
"Amara," he said before looking at the Azurians.
"I am sorry for her behavior." He said as a red haired man came forth. He put his hand on my so-called mate's shoulder before walking in front of him.
"It's ok Lord Nathaniel. We are sorry but we cannot reveal our real name since it holds power. I hope you understand" he said while his eyes fell on me.
I just glanced at him before looking away feeling very annoyed.
"Yes," I just replied.
"She is an earth born and raised so she is a bit free-minded on these matters." Uncle Nate said giving me a momentary glare.
"Let us introduce ourselves. My name is Zamil, the 1st lead. This is Eir, the healer. Tyr, the controller, Neith, the huntress, and Soren, the defender" he said introducing each one along with the title they earned.
"It is an honor to meet the Azurians in person." Uncle Nate said as he bowed slightly with a smile. "I am Lord Nathaniel, Queen Naomi's brother. This is my love, Kate and my son Ciel" he introduced his family before he gestured me to walk forward.
I walked and stood in the middle of uncle and Ceil.
"And this is Amara Morrigan Quarters, the next chosen queen of our Dominion," he said as they all stared at me. They looked surprised and shocked on hearing the news.
I only raised one of my eyebrows daring for them to judge me.
"So undisciplined" Soren immediately commented making my eye widen in shock.
"Soren!" Zamil said looking at Soren in shock.
"What did you say?" I growled as he ignored Zamil and looked at me with a smirk.
"Facts Princess Amara, I only state facts" he countered making me glare at the asshole in front of me.
"You…" I was stopped by Ceil who put his hand on my shoulder. I turned and looked to see him shake his head.
I grind my teeth and looked back at the asshole. His face was once again void.
Uncle cleared his throat and spoke trying to calm the tension.
"Um, Princess Amara here will help you with the mission along with my son Ceil," he said as I looked at him.
"Couldn’t you find someone…. More proper?" Soren suddenly asked.
"Why? Couldn’t handle a girl?" I asked sarcastically as he raised his eyebrow.
"You look like a trouble maker"
"Why thank you for the lovely compliment," I said giving a wide sarcastic smile.
"I don’t want any kind of side distractions on this mission. It is very crucial. You are a distraction" He said.
Distraction because I am your 'Mate'?
I wanted to ask him bit somehow my brain gives me signals to keep it a secret.
"Soren, what is wrong with you," Zamil said before looking at me.
"I hope we will work together well" he smiled as I smiled back grabbing his extended hand.
'I will be looking forward" I said as I glanced at my mate who was staring at our hands with a frown.
