The Alpha Queen

Have you ever felt so broken that you just don't know how to go on? I have a whole kingdom counting on me, but nothing seems to matter anymore. Here I am, sitting on our front porch in my favorite rocking chair, staring out at my kingdom and I can't bring myself to care that I'm now their leader. Yesterday was the first time in days that I felt something since my parents were killed. I met my mate, the only one in this world that would be able to brake through this dark place. It's almost like the sadness had built a wall around me, keeping all other emotion out. My mate came and knocked it all down. My heart felt happiness. But as we all know, it only takes a single moment for everything to change. ---- "Adeera, my love. Happy birthday!" I'm still groggy from sleep, but I know that voice. My mother wakes me up every morning on my birthday so she can be the first to wish me Happy Birthday.  I groan, but turn to greet her. "Mom, it's still dark out. Why are you waking me so early?" "I'm sorry that it is so early. Your father and I have a meeting and we are leaving in just a few minutes. We will not be back until long after breakfast, I am sure." She comes over and kisses my forehead. "I love you, my daughter. I am proud of the woman you have become. You will be a great and strong leader when the time is right." I respond by hugging her, "I love you too, mom. I'll see you and dad later." She leaves and I check the time. I have to be up in an hour anyway for training, so I just get up and get myself ready.  I'm the first one at the field so I get a head start on stretching and running laps around the perimeter of the training field. Everyone begins to arrive, including Abrham and Austin. Abrham is my going to be my Royal Beta and Austin is going to be my Royal Gamma. Did I not mention that my parents are the current Alpha King and Luna Queen? That of course makes me the Royal Princess. I am also an alpha, actually I will be the first Alpha Queen in our history. There are many in the kingdom who are against the idea, but I'm going to prove them wrong.  According to custom, I will gain my wolf tonight. I'm so excited!  I am pulled out of my thoughts by Abrham and Austin waving me over to them. As soon as I am close enough to them, I get tackled and in their most obnoxious voices sing Happy Birthday to me at the top of their lungs.  Everyone of course laughs and our trainer, Delta Forrest, comes over and helps me up. Both boys gained their wolves last month and like to show everyone that they are stronger then me.  "You boys just wait until I have my wolf and then we'll see who's laughing!" They abruptly stop laughing and their faces look horrified. I burst out laughing, and they let out nervous chuckles.  Delta Forrest must have decided enough was enough. "Alright, stretch and then ten miles!"  Since I already stretched, I start running again. We were half way through class when everyone, but me received a mind link. You can only mind link if you have your wolf and I'm the only one in this class without one. They all look at me and my Beta and Gamma come over to me.  "Rogues are attacking at the west perimeter." Abrham tells me,  "How many?" "They aren't sure, but they've breeched patrol." All the sudden, I'm brought to my knees because of a pain in my chest. I didn't have time to even scream before a second one hit me. At the second one, everyone around me grabbed their chests as well.  The second pain, that everyone felt, meant the death of my father. The first meant the death of my mother. I think I hear Abrham and Austin calling me, but I let myself drown in darkness.
