NATE Gemma and I had driven back to the palace. I dropped her off by the side entrance so she could make it to her room and change for the festival. I rolled the window down and looked at her. "I'll be waiting by the stairs for you in about thirty minutes, or an hour. I don't know how long it would take for you to get ready." I said. "That's not necessary." She said. "I'll see you then." I rolled the window back up and drove to the main entrance. I got out of the car and adjusted the jacket of my suit. I walked into the palace and headed for where the festival was happening. "Your Majesty, Alpha King Nate." The announcer said as the double doors were opened for me. I walked in. The people were clapping and I had to go around greeting and welcoming everyone to the festival. My mother
