From Princess To Queen
Chapter 15

Meira

Ever since Meira was six years old, she would visit her grandparents, and her aunts and uncles lived, and they taught her how to use magic. She learned easy spells that would not get her into trouble with her mother and father. She had to practice them over and over again. It would be second nature to her. As she grew, so did her powers and her training.

She practiced lifting people off the ground at ten years old and holding them there. Her brothers were always the victims of her antics. If they did something she did not like, she would use her powers and pick them up, turning them upside down, then dropping them on their heads. They got wise to what she was doing and tried to use her powers against her, but she would counter and do the same with them. They would always laugh in the end because they thought it was fun, plus it was practice for all of them to become better at their craft.

At sixteen, Meira has full powers and constantly torments her siblings, but in turn, they torment her. None of her aunts, uncles, or siblings practice dark magic. She has an Aunt and Uncle who run their pack hidden in the woods by magic. Meira stays here for a month every summer to train as a witch, but her mother also trains her kids in the castle. Sherrie loves to cook, has gone to culinary school, and works with the head chef in the kitchen. She is only twenty but plans to take over in a few years. Her mate is a strong fighter and is one of the guards but also helps with construction.

“Momma, when will I get a mate, and how will I know he is not using me to gain strength and power?” she asked her mother.

“My dear sweet daughter, you will start to feel the pull of the mate bond if they are a werewolf or other supernatural being. But that will not come until you are seventeen, but the full bond will come when you are eighteen, and only then will you know your true mate. Why do you ask?”

“I am not a wolf or Lycan like Daddy is, and I want to be.” She says with sadness in her voice.

“Well, my child, if you have a wolf or Lycan, you may replace her when you turn eighteen or even twenty, depending on how young or old she may be. If you do not have one, it is not a big deal to us, and you know that. I don’t have one, but I also know some of your siblings have both and are hybrids, witches, and Lycan. That is also perfect; look, Meira, you are a beautiful young princess with two elemental powers and some powers that I do not have. But we both have healing powers. Scott and Steven have three elemental powers and can conduct fire. Your father and I love each and one of you.”

“Thank you, Mom; I love you too,” Meira said and went to practice her magic with her siblings.

She had boyfriends, but all they wanted was power and to become kings. They did not care about her, just only the title. You hear of women wanting the title and power of becoming a Luna, but she could also see right through them. She even saw other she-wolves who wanted to crawl into the king's bed, but he would banish them from coming to the castle. He could not stand anyone who would do that; he considered them whores, even men would do that to her mother, and her father would kill them on the spot. Meira grew up with her eyes wide open and kept a mental note of what to look for.

She is seventeen now and a senior in high school. She will graduate with Ava Omara, her best friend, and an elf, in the spring. She will go straight to her grandparent's pack since her mate awaits her. She also knows that she will do more training with her family and friends when school is finished. For now, she had to get ready for the alpha's meeting that was coming up in two weeks. A hundred alphas and their sons or daughters will be here to attend the meetings. We encourage whoever is first born to become the alpha of their pack unless they are females and mated to an alpha of another pack; otherwise, their mates become lunars (male Luna).

Meira had been on edge the entire time they prepared for the alphas’ arrival. Her father taught her that they should have meetings to see what is going on, who needs money for rebuilding their packs, who needs training, and who needs extra support with warriors. He also goes over their financials and asks at least one of the pack alphas to take the lead, but the deal is they have to have their son or daughter lead discussions. This is the time to obtain new alliances, redo pack laws, address the problems with rogues, etc.

The day came when the alphas’ started to arrive, and she was more nervous than usual. The king, queen, princes, and princess stood outside, greeting their guests as they arrived. The staff showed the guests to their suites; they shared a room if they came with their fathers. Otherwise, the daughters roomed together. It was for lack of space. They had plenty of it; they just wanted to keep everyone confined for protection, as they knew they all could fight.

Everyone must keep up their training while visiting; this would happen twice a day, Saturday mornings and Sundays. No business is conducted on the weekends. It’s strictly for socializing and getting to know each other. They learned new fighting techniques and practiced with weapons if they chose to; the king ensured everything was available for their guests. Matthew thought it was ludicrous and was planning to end this rubbish. He would never tell Meira or her father; then, he would not become king.

One afternoon Meira was having a late breakfast tea with her mother and aunts visiting from their packs when Matthew smelled something unique and followed it around the back of the castle to a pavilion where four ladies and a young one were sitting. He walked over, asking who they were, and noticed the smell coming from his mate. He had been around her for a few days and knew she was his mate. He just now decided to approach her about it and wanted to take her out. But knew he could not do it since they were here for the stupid meetings.

He courted her the rest of the time they were there and asked if she would be his Luna, just in case she would not be the next in line. He was curious to know if any of her brothers would be king or if they wanted the title. Everything was kept secret in the castle. He noticed another young lady around the castle that was with another alpha.

“Meira, who is that lady over there to your right? She looks like she is all over one of the visiting alphas?” he asked.

“Libby, she is pretty much the pack whore. She sleeps with anyone that takes an interest in her; she is out for power and power only. She works on agricultural lands, where her parents run the farms and markets. Not a very nice person to us or anyone else. Libby acts like an entitled bitch and wants to be queen or Luna. The higher the rank better the power in her mind.” Meira says with disgust.

“You can always ban her from your kingdom. Or I will when I become king.” He says cheekily.

She looked at him in shock but knew they were destined to be together, and she would accept him, and it was clear that he wanted just as much power as Libby. Later she told her parents about him, but they blew it off and encouraged her to continue to court and mate with him.

A few months later, they were married and fully mated, she became queen, and he was now the king. He truly loved her with all his heart and took care of her. They had a wonderful life together and could not wait to start a family.
