"Noah! Where's my shirt?" I called as I walked downstairs on the last day. I looked up and saw him eating his food. In front of him was my mate and on her body was my shirt. Well, the one I had bought.

"Luna said she didn't have any clothes so I told her to use your shirt. Keep the same pants on but change into your shirt. I thought you got two." Noah said.

"I bought one. I didn't know she needed clothes." I said. He just shrugged and turned back to his food.

"Just take one if Noah's shirts." Ronald said as he walked down. I nodded and disappeared again. I returned with one of Noah's shirts on.

"Sorry. I didn't know it was your only shirt." My mate said.

"It's fine." I said as I got some food. I got an amount the I knew I could eat before sitting next to my mate.

"We don't know your name." My mother pointed out. She was right, I didn't know my mate's name. For the past couple days I've been resting so I can heal faster. She was too scared to leave the room without me so she stayed in there with me. I didn't have to say her name so she knew who I was talking to since it was just us. Noah occasionally walked in but I knew when he was speaking to me. It was so he could get to know my mate.

"Right. Sorry. It's Skylar." My mate said. I kept a mental note of her name and finished eating.

"Andrew, are you sure you're full?" My father asked.

"Yeah. I don't want to make myself sick." I said and went to wash my plate. It got taken out of my hands by Emma who smiled and patted my chest. I scrunched my nose and turned to the rest as I returned to my seat. I sat down and talked with Ronald who told me about how I would be getting crowned king soon.

"They should've fed you more. And don't let me cut your hair ever again." Skylar said as she stood a ran a hand through my hair. Just yesterday I had asked her to cut my hair since they cut it once a year. They kept it decently long which wasn't really my style. Skylar had handed me her phone and told me to find a style I liked and said she would try and get my hair to that style. She succeeded but she claimed it wasn't necessarily the best work. I liked it though. It felt better and more natural than how it used to be styled.

I scowled at her retreating figure and fixed my hair. I thought it looked fine. I had told her many times that it looked fine. She didn't like to believe me though. I couldn't force her to believe me either. I ran a hand through my hair one last time and let my cheek fall onto my fist.

"Skylar cut your hair?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah. I think it looks fine but she doesn't." I said loud enough for her to hear.

"I messed up in a few places." She called back before returning.

"It doesn't look like that to me." Jaine added. Ronald nodded along with Noah.

"It looks more like him too." My mom said. She shot me a dirty look for winning our small debate. I just smiled at her before closing my eyes. After being in the room with her during those days we had talked out every problem from the night she wanted to kill me. We also grew a bit closer together, to the point you would have never been able things started out rough just days ago.

"We'll have to get you new clothes when we get back." My father said. I hummed as an answer before grabbing the chair Skylar was in. I pulled it over and told my father the size of the shirt and the size of my jeans I had on before having Skylar tell him the same thing.

"I'll let someone at the castle know. You two will have your clothes there and put up before we get there." My dad said. My mom excused her and Skylar and I immediately knew something was being planned. My father also said he'd have my room updated as well. I remembered how quickly things worked there. It would all be done by the time we got to the castle. Skylar had a slightly red face when she returned with my mom and sat back down next to me.

"What has you so red Skylar?" Noah joked.

"None of your business." She shot back.

"I'm sure it's Andrew's business though." Noah said.

"It's not." Skylar said and crossed her arms. Well now I was interested since it apparently wasn't my business.

"It is now. I'm interested now." I said as I turned my attention to her. We locked eyes and her face heated up before looking away.

"Girl things you two." My mom said.

"I'm not interested anymore." I mumbled and looked away slightly red.

"Probably something for girls that boys like." Sarah said. My face heated up more as I refused to make eye contact with anyone.

"He's red!" Ronald laughed.

"Shut it. You don't have your mate and you were red." I shot back.

"I have my imagination. I can imagine things." Ronald pointed out. Noah laughed as he got up and took everyone else's plates. I rolled my eyes as I thought about what they could've possibly talked about. I looked over in Skylar's direction and the first thing that came to mind wasn't very appropriate to be spoken about. Especially with your family and with pack children around. It was something I looked forward to in the future though. I looked back at my mom and my sisters. They knew what she was talking about. I thought harder about it and when i figured it out my face heated up.

"I think he figured it out." Jaine said.

"Are we ready to go?" I asked looking at my father. He laughed but nodded his head. I was the first to get up with Noah behind me. My face was still a little red from figuring out what my mother and mate talked about and I doubt it would fade soon.
