Princess Liana of Wineria: A werewolf story

Chapter Nine- Farewell Wineria

(Liana's Pov)

 As much as I wished this day would never arrive it did. It arrived so fast it scared me. The day I would leave my home, my life, and my family. The day I become the person I born to be. The Queen of Wolves. 

One of the biggest reasons why I was upset to leave was because I had to say goodbye to Emily. Since Royal Beta Leo is Emily's mate she is coming to Wolfslandia with us! At least I'll still have my bestfriend.

I'm also excited to start my life with Noah. We have been spending a lot of time together recently and our bond is strengthening rapidly. I never liked change. Change freaked me out and I avoided it as much as I could. 

Recently, I feel like my whole life has been changing so much. The minute I smelt Noah's intoxicating scent in the ballroom it changed forever. Now, I have to adapt if I want to survive.

Lost in my thoughts of all the current events of my life, I didn't even notice Emily walking in my room. "Hey Li," she said kind of gloomy. Ever since she met Leo she has been more peppy than ever. I turned to look at her, my focus was now on her.

"Are you feeling ok?" I said with genuine concern. She just shrugged and plopped on my bed. I raised an eyebrow at this and she let out a long sigh. She looked at me and then to my suitcase which was sprawled out on my bed. Her eyes widened and she jolted up.

"Omg, Li! You haven't finished packing!? You had like two whole days...." She said as her words faded and she returned to her state of gloominess. She fell back on the bed and starred at the ceiling. "I've never been out of the Winerian borders before...what's it like out there?" She asked me.

I thought for a minute. What was it like? I guess I don't really remember. I only ever left for Royal events when I was a pup. Even then I didn't really pay attention to where I was. "I'm not sure, Em. I don't really remember," I replied sorrowfully. She just hummed in understanding. We understood eachother's feeling about leaving Wineria. We were in this together. We sat in silence for a little as I finished packing my last few items. 

I sat on my suitcase and used all my power to get that thing closed. Emily and I had about 9 bags of luggage altogether. Packing for Wolfslandia felt like I was packing my old life away. I pulled my suitcase off my bed and stepped back to look at my bare room. 

There was no trace that I had been there at all. My throat suddenly felt dry and my chest felt tight. I fought the urge to cry and it was incredibly tough. I wanted to give into my sadness but I need to move on. 

There is no point in dwelling on the cons. I was about to go live with my mate and rule by his side. I should be happy. I want to be happy. So, why do I feel like I'm about to throw up. Why do I feel like I'm about to breakdown?

The days staying in Wineria flew by. Leo and I sat in the royal living room chatting while we let the girls finish up last minute packing. "Dude, I still can't believe this. I mean what the odds we find our mates in the same week and they are best friends," Leo stated in awe. He shook his head and took a sip of his drink. I hummed in agreement. 

"I think Liana is sad to leave Wineria. She won't admit it but I can tell it's eating her alive. I feel awful about it," I admitted looking down at  the floor. Leo set his drink down on the table next to the sofa. 

"Look man, the girls have every right to be upset. I know it, you know it. But, it has to happen. The best thing we can do for them is be there when they need us. Luckily, they have each other too," Leo said reassuringly. I knew he was right but I felt guilty for causing my Liana pain. I know how much she loves it here.

Soon enough, the girls came in the living room with the last of their luggage. "Are you all packed, baby?" I asked Liana embracing her. She nodded look down. I rubbed her back and played with her hair. She seemed to relax a little more at my touch and that calmed me too.

Leo and I grabbed their last bags and carried them to the car. The girls sure had a lot of luggage. We had to get a whole other car just for their luggage. The drivers hoped in the cars and started them. In the driveway, four black limos were lined up waiting for us. One was for my parents, one for Liana & Emily's family, one for luggage, and the last car for Liana,Emily,Leo, and me. Everyone got in the cars except for our group. Liana looked at the castle and she said softly, "goodbye." 

Leo and Me got into the limo while Liana & Emily took their last looks. The girls eventually got in the limo and we were off. The Winerian palace was on a island off the main Wineria. The Winerian airport was on the main part so we had to drive to the airport. 

After about 30 minutes of driving, we arrived at the Winerian Aiport and Liana's family stood at the entrance. Tears pooled in Queen Ellie's eyes and soft sobs escaped her mouth. My heart sunk as Liana began to embrace her parents and brother. I feel so evil for making her do this.

We arrived at the airport and my parents stood at the entrance. My mother started to tear up and I fought the urge to cry with her. I hugged my mom first. She whispered in my ear, "I love you, honey. You'll be an amazing queen." I smiled as she sobbed into my shoulder. 

I moved to my dad. I could tell he wanted to cry but was trying to be strong. I hugged him tightly and he said, "I'm so proud of you my little sunshine. You've come so far." I hugged him tighter and moved to my brother.

"I'm gonna miss you, dummy," his voice breaking as he said it. I pulled him into a hug. "Your gonna be an incredible queen, Li," he added. I pulled away and my whole family came into a group hug. 

I stepped back and saw Emily saying goodbye to her parents too. Emily walked over to me and took my hand. "Farewell Wineria," I said taking one last look at my country. At that, Emily and I walked hand in hand into the airport.
