Enemies Rejection (Prequel)

3. Blue Eyes

Alice's POV.

Every night since my seventeenth birthday I had the same dream. When I close my eyes I see his face, his eyes. Jet black hair and eyes the colour of sapphire. I don’t know who he is or if he would mean anything to mean. I knew that I didn’t know who he is but the feeling in my stomach made me feel things towards the boy that I have never felt before. I don’t feel alone when I am with him, I don’t feel my pain and hurt, I feel loved and most importantly I feel safe. Evey night I always wish for the dream not to end and every night I always wonder if the boy I dream of is real. That all comes to an end once I open my eyes, he disappears.

"Wakey, wakey sunshine!" Someone yelled as the sunlight came out of nowhere.

I rolled over and groaned, it's been a week since I had the movie night with my two best friends. It's also been a week since I laid both my parents to rest. I can't say I am fully healed from the loss and I don’t think I will ever be. Instinctively I put my hand over my face as I felt the sun burning brightly. I peeked through my fingers and I saw Waylon standing near the curtain's as Frances was walking over to my bed side.

I felt the bed dip, "Come on, it's time to have breakfast and then get you ready." Frances said as she places a tray full of food on my bedside table.

I look at my clock and I saw that it was six in the morning. "It's too early, let me go back to sleep." I shrieked as I pulled the blanket over my face to hid from the light.

"Alice, today is your coronation day and we are here to help you get ready." Frances said.

"What?!" I exclaimed as I sat up right and looked at my two best friends. "That’s today?" I asked and they both nodded their heads. "I totally forgot." I said as I looked over to the dress I will be wearing.

"Everyone will be arriving around eight o'clock and the ceremony will start at ten." Waylon said, most probably as a reminder for me. "I will make sure that everything is ready and Frances will attend to you." He added.

"Uncle Edgar will assist you." France said to Waylon before he left us in my room. "Now, you eat while I make you a nice warm bath." She added and placed the tray in front of me.

"I don’t know Frances." I began.

"Alice Handsley, both Waylon and I know you better than anyone. You are a strong women and you will make it through today's events. Waylon and I will deal with all the stress until you feel ready to deal with it yourself, okay? You just focus on being crowned and we will do the rest." Frances said as she held my hands in her hands. "The three of us will always have each other's back, always." My best friends said reassuringly.

"I know." I whispered.

"So eat up, I'll make the bath. By this time tomorrow you will not be Princes Alice, you will be Queen Alice." She said as she walked to my bathroom.

I looked down at my plate and picked up the fork and knife as I began cutting into the bacon and egg. I ate pretty quickly as I just wanted today to be over with so I can be in the comfort of my room again. Frances came back out about five minutes later and I had eaten most of my food by then. I go out of bed and walked to the bathroom before I striped and got into the warm water.

"I'm just going to take this back to the kitchen, I won't be long." Frances yelled from my room.

"Okay." I yelled back and heard the door open then close.

I didn’t want to stay in the water too long before I decided to get out. I wrapped myself in my silky robe and walked out from my bathroom. I put my pants and bra on and put the silky robe back on. I didn’t what to put the dress in yet, I wanted to be able to walk around freely for a little bit longer. I brushed my hair out making sure that there wasn’t any knots or tangles in it. I let out a sigh as I walked around my room and stopping every minute or so to look at myself in the mirror. I heard a small bang on my window and to my surprise I saw a cat sitting at my window.

Walking over to my window I opened it and saw it balancing on the edge perfectly. The cat was startled by my opening the window that it lost its balance as it clawed on the edge to hold on. Out of nowhere I reacted by climbing out the window and grabbing it. As I placed it on the edge again for support, I lost my balance and slipped. I was holding on tightly to my window ledge. I turned and looked how far was the ground and I was only two storey up. I know I didn’t have the strength to pull myself up so I let myself slide and grabbed the nearest tree that was no taller than the first storey. Grabbing the branch it broke immediately and I squealed as gravity pulled me to the ground. Landing on my bottom I gave a loud groan. I stood up slowly as I rubbed my bottom with one hand and getting support from the other.

"s**t!" I whisper yelled to myself as I looked up to my room window open.

I saw the cat just sitting there on my window ledge as it just stared at me like me falling from two storey high was normal.

"This is all your fault." I said as I pointed at the cat, who only meowed at me.

Oh goddess, I'm talking to cat. I looked at myself and saw a scrap on my knee from sliding down as I grabbed the tree. My body became a little exposed, luckily I was wearing my pants and bra underneath my silky robe. Only problem was my robe only went up to my knee height. I wrapped my robe around tighter and looked around and lucky for me there was no one in my eye shot.

"Okay Alice, either you climb back up the way you fell or walk around and go through the side door of the kitchen." I said my options out loud to myself. "I guess since I am the princess that none of the staff members would question any of my half nakedness." I added as I looked back at the window where the cat still sat.

Nope, I'm not scrapping my knee again, through the side door it is. I rushed off towards the kitchen side door and made sure no one was watching me as I did. The last thing I needed was for someone to see me and then recognize me when I am crowned. I saw a few of the castle servants standing around near the door and they stopped talking once they saw me. Shocked was clear on their faces once they saw me half naked in my silky robe.

"I was never here." It was all I needed to say and they all just nodded their heads in understanding.

I quickly opened the door as I walked in the kitchen and immediately everyone in the kitchen stopped in their tracks.

"Princess?" The head chef said, I'm sure that everyone noticed me. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine, as you all were." Again they did as I had said.

I must of missed Frances since I did not run into her in the kitchen, I'm sure she is going to laugh once I tell her what had happened. I rushed out quickly to make myself towards the stairs before I could shock anyone else. All of a sudden without looking ahead of me, I ran into a brick wall. Strange brick wall if you had to ask me, it seemed to have caught my wrist. I grew up in this castle and knew every inch of it with my eyes closed, so I knew that their couldn’t be a brick wall here. On another note, I'm sure that brick walls don’t make your whole body feel electric waves of sparks.

"Mate." The wall growled and my eyes when wide from shock. In front of me stood the boy from my dreams, the boy with jet black hair and eyes blue as sapphire.

Leo's POV.

"So Alpha Leo, what exactly do you know about witches and warlocks?" My best friend asked me.

"No much, I do know that they have magic." I replied to my Beta, Josh.

"Have you ever met one?" Josh asked.

"No." I answered.

"Would you ever.." He began and I cut him off.

"Ok, what's with all the questions? Are you interrogating me or something?" I question him.

"I'm just curious that we are about to enter the kingdom of the witches and warlocks." He defends himself. "Also, I'm sort of excited and curious to see what they look like." He adds with a smirk.

"I know that look." I point to my bests friend. "You will not be doing your man whoring with witches, they may look like human but I heard that their magic is strong, they can defend themself. Do not be fooled by their appearances. Also I will not have my pack be an enemy to the Royal coven, last thing we need is to make witches and warlocks an enemy." I say to him.

He raises his hands up in surrender, "It's not whoring if your single." He says and I roll my eyes at his response.

"We are here, be on your best behaviour." I say to him as I open the car door.

"Fine, fine, I'll behave... but if the ladies come to me.." I gave him a serious look and of course he just chuckled.

I got out of the car, "looks like we are one of the earlier arrivals." I said and Josh nods his head.

"Let's go." I add as we walk up the steps towards the main entrance.

A man at the front greets us but I get a little distracted as I felt my wolf shifting within me. It wasn’t the need to get ready to fight but something entirely different. I was just about to ask my wolf when I smelt the most delicious smell I have ever smelt in my life. I didn’t know where I was going I just let my nose take the lead. Within seconds I walk into someone smaller then me and sent her flying to the round. I caught her by the wrist be and felt the sparks upon contact.

"Mate." Both me and my wolf growled out at the same time, causing our mates eyes to go wide from shock.
