Chapter 14
All I knew is that we were on a plane. It was warm, and my head was placed on a shoulder. I didnât want this moment to be ruined, so I kept my eyes closed. All I remember was getting into a car and waving my friends goodbye. I vaguely remember being lifted from one place to another. They may be moved from the limo to the plane. I opened my eyes and looked next to me. On one side was Chris, and my head was placed on Cole's shoulder. They were both reading a book, which was my favourite thing to do.
"Do you have a spare?" I asked them. They both looked at me from their book, they were so caught up that they did not realise I was awake. I looked around and noticed that there was no one around us. "where is everyone?" I asked voicing my thoughts.
"What do you mean?" Cole asked.
"We are on the plane right?" I asked, confused.
"Yes the private plane." Chris said understanding what I meant. I was shocked, private plane?
"You have a plane?" I asked. I think my mouth was still hanging open, while I was stating the obvious, while they were laughing at me expense. I closed my mouth. I could not wait to reach.
"Here's a book." Cole said handing me one from the many he had on the plane. I did not know they liked to read.
"Thank you. How long have we got till we reach?" I asked.
"About two hours." Cole said. Chris was back to his book. I placed my head back on Cole's shoulder and got into the book.

It was five minutes before we landed and I used this time to look at America. This was the first time I had been out of England, and I loved what I saw. The sun was just rising, it was morning here and evening when we left England. The lights were beautiful. Chris told me that we were landing straight in Lock Hart. It was green, but had beautiful houses everywhere. It was a mixture of nature, yet residence, it was nice. It had that whole natural home feeling to it.
"Beautiful isnât it?" Eliza said coming behind me.
"Yeah, is there any place to shop nearby? I need to buy clothes; my English clothes would be suitable."
"Yeah, there is lots of places to shop. And, you got New York, which we can fly in any time. I will take you if you want." She said with a glint in her eye. You could tell that she wanted a sister.
"That would be good." I said smiling.
"Are you nervous?" she asked me.
"What about?"
"You are going to meet the King and Queen of the werewolf world. Are you not scared?" she asked. And that is when it hit me, my cool demeanor changed. My mates sensed it and came to the window were I was standing. They both touched me, but it would not help as much as their comforting words this time.
"What's wrong?" they both asked in calm voices.
"Please take your seats. The plane is coming in for landing." We heard. They both took my hand and led me back to my seat, tucking me in, in the process.
"Donât worry babe it would be fine. Everyone would love you." Chris said kissing me on the cheek.
"What about your parents. They are not everyone." I whispered shaken.
"They are going to love you. Where is the confident Nica gone?." Cole asked putting his hand under my chin lifting my lips to his soft ones. It was a soft gentle reassuring one. What is wrong with me? I was more of the confident one. Cole released me from his spell and I smiled at them. We landed by now, I just could not feel anything stuck in my world. Eliza was looking at me, with a guilty look on her face. It made me laugh, which brought a shocked look to her face.
"Sorry for freaking out." I told her a bit shyly.
"sorry for making you almost have a panic attack. Donât worry, my father and mother would love you. I just can't wait to get back to my mate." She said happily at the end, which made me laugh again.
I unbuckled my seat belt. And stood up stretching. I stopped when I look outside the window, the sun was just above the horizon, but what caught my attention was the people outside the plane. There were reporters everywhere.
"That is going on?" I asked directing my question at Chris and Cole. They were reaching for out hand luggage in the small compartments. When they turned to look at what I was talking about.
"well everyone in Lock Hart knows that we were gone for a while. They did not know what we were going to be doing while we were away. Now we back, they are interested in who we have brought back. They saw we were together at your fathers coronation and was wondering why you are here." Cole said.
"So, you mean to tell me they are here for me?" I asked.
"No⦠us." Chris told me. I felt relief knowing they were not all going to be focusing on me.
"And me" Eliza said, spoiling the moment a bit leaving me laughing at her, and the guys shaking their head..
"And you Princess Eliza." Chris said making his sister smile. We exited the plane to see flashes everywhere. And I thought this city was going to be small. It was like a second NYC, just with more trees, and known for its green lands.
Cole and Chris was holding my hand firmly in theirs, and guards were surrounding us out into the limo on the air strip.
"Where have you been Prince?"
"Who is she?"
"Is this England's king newly found daughter?"
"What is going on here?"
"Are you dating?"
"Princess Elizabeth, do you know what is going on?"
"Do you have anything to say?"
"Is that Dominica?"
The reporters were going wild, I did not say a word, and neither did Cole and Chris. I was smiling everyone's question. Eliza was waving to them with a smile, like she has been doing it all her life, which she hadâ¦
Eliza went in to the limo and then went Cole, who held his hand out for me, and Chris followed. The limo started moving, and I heard Eliza screaming, frightened I looked up, and saw a boy there. Cole and Chris sensed no danger but their faces were confused. Then we saw her kissing him. Then I was confused.
"Jake man, what you doing all over our sister?" Cole and Chris asked in sync. I guess they knew each other. This was not the kind of meeting they were expecting when seeing their best friend and beta again. I felt it through the bond.
"umâ¦Nica, this is Jake⦠my mate." She said filling the atmosphere with a tense, awkward, anger. I rested my hands on both of theirs, calming them down about an inch but I knew they were still fuming.
"Nice to meet you, Jake." I said leaning over to shake his hands.
"Same to you, princess Nica." Jake said. He seemed nice, I guess thatâs why they were friends with him. He seemed like an approachable guy and a good friend, that I sensed, but I think Cole and Chris forgot about that.
"We will talk when we get home." Cole said to Jake, and Chris said to Eliza. They were protective of their sister. The rest of the ride was spent in silence. We have never spoke through the like before, it was our first time.
"Guys, they are mates." I told Cole and Chris through or link.
"Yes Nica, but when we left years ago to find a mate he was a player." Cole said a bit roughly. I squeezed his hand and released. That was for the tone.
"He might have changed. At least talk to him. You chose him to be your beta when you get coroneted for a reason." I told them trying to get into their thick skulls.
"Nica, they are not meant to be together." Chris told me.
"yes they are. They are mates! Now listen if my brothers said you could not be with me, how would you feel. Listen to your sister. She must have realised they were mates after you guys left. And he is your best friend, you cannot keep them from each other no matter how protective you both are."Â I told them, trying a new scenario trying to get them to see my point of view. I blocked them from my head so that they could think together and on their own.
When I looked up we arrived at the castle, my new house. It was triple the size of the on in England. It was more grand and well designed. Some of the pack members lived here, others all over. It was a beautiful place. Everything looked new and well cleaned. There were statues all over the grass. The limo was getting closer and closer to the entrance. It would take long to get around this place, and longer to get my head around it. There were tree's nearby.
Chris got out of the limo, and then held his hand out for me. I'm guessing he would forget about his sister for the time being. The first thing I realised was the natural air that flowed through my lungs. There was no pollution; everything was so refreshing and different from England. I loved my past week in England, but this is where I am now.
When everyone was out of the limo, Cole and Chris took my hand. This was like going to meet my father. We walked around to go meet the study. The maids everywhere were shocked to see my mates back. I guess it has been a while.
"Do I look fine?" I asked just before a door labelled alpha. I guess we were going to see their father and mother. I had changed on the plane and freshen up.
"You look beautiful." Cole said. Chris kissed my lips softly, and then turned the handle. The first thing I realised was the beautiful woman standing before me next to her husband. She looked like Eliza so much. She was wearing a long dress, reaching the floor but hugged her body. Then next to her was a buff man, yep thatâs how I described the king, with broad shoulders, just a bit shorter than my mated by some inches. He had hark eyes, where as his wife had green, which the boys and Eliza got it from. The lady was smiling gently, while the king's face held no emotion.
"Hello, by name is Eleanor, and this is my husband Joshua. Welcome to Lock Hart."
