The day had come to leave the palace.
Cara and Dean both pouting as I finish packing.

"I think you should stay," Cara pouts.

"I agree with her," Dean says, pointing a finger towards Cara.

I scoff at these two.

"We've missed you, you know," Cara says, casting her eyes towards the ground.

I know what they mean. I miss me too, and my friends.

"I know C, I miss you both too, I truly believe this is what I need" in order to move past my heart break, or at least I fucking hope so!

"When will you back, Queen" Dean says while bowing, this idiot!

"Stop that shit you" I scoff at Dean.

He let's out a little laugh, I return his laugh with a smile.

Dean, his tall, muscular, broad shoulders, seems to be common amongst these Royals, I mentall roll my eyes.

Soft brown hair with a few curls in it, Hazel's eye, ones like I longed to have back in my sights.

If I wasn't mated again, I'd definitely almost give it a shot. Jokes jokes guys settle down.

I let out a soft sigh as I close my suitcase up.

I turn back to my two friends. My closest friends here.

"I mean there's nothing stopping you two on joining me" I say with abit of hope in voice.

"Yea right, Ryder would totally let us" Cara scoffs out.

"He would absolutely have a fit" Dean inputs.

"You two need to live a little" I say laughing, knowing full well that they were right.

"Well I tried" I say shaking my head.

"Maybe we can visit some time?" Cara says with a little hope.

"I'd like that, the both of you are yoy welcome any time" I walk over to the pair of them and engulf them both into my embrace.

"I will miss you guys" I say.

"As will we k" Cara and Dean both say in unison.

We break apart and Dean grabs my suitcase, opening the door and asking the guard to take my last one down to the ready and waiting car.

Dean loops his arm into mine, walking me out to my car.
Cara on the opposite.

Dean opens my door, waiting for me to jump in.

"My queen" he say with a playfulness tone.

I scoff and roll my eyes.

"Come on little pup" he says again with a cheesy grin etched onto his face.

"I'll give you little pup, you fucker, your 2 years younger then me, 'Lil pup'" I retort back using air quotes.

He laughs while he playfully bumps my shoulder.

I shake my head turning to Cara.
I give her one more hug before jumping in my car.

"Don't forget to keep in contact K" she says now with a hint of sadness.

"You ain't getting rid of me that easy C" I say with a small smile plastered on my lips.

"More like, you can't out run us" Dean says matter of factly, that much I know is true if my mate didn't bring back I for sure know these two knuckle heads would.

The light hearted jokes, just now has made me feel a little bit better. It was a start.

"Bye K" they both say as I slowly close my door to the car.

I signal for the driver to proceed forward, out of the gates of the royal palace, a place I am lucky to call home.
One I will miss while I am, but it does not feel the same any more.

I do hope, when I return I will feel all the things I felt before.

The drive to my old pack was silent, not a word spoke between.

But again, no one dared speak to a royal unless spoken too, sometimes being Royal sucks!

But it also has its perks.
Times like this, I enjoy the piece and quite.

"Josh" I call to the driver.

I see as he look in the rear view mirror, shock written all over his face, more than likely due to my knowing his name.

"Yes my queen" he replies  back with a little bow with the head.

"How's your wife?" I ask.

"My wife?" Josh asks a little confused.

"Yes Josh your wife" I give a light laugh.

"She is good, your highness"

"And the kids, they are well too? Are they doing OK in school?"

"Yes your highness, they are all successful little pups" pride beaming in his words.

Josh and I manage to strike up conversation for the rest of our travels.

I learnt all about how his little girl wants to be just like me. She already dresses like me, Josh even commented on her elegance in hopes to meet the Queen one day.

"Josh, when I return, I would like to meet your family" a smile creeps onto my lips, my dimples showing now.

"Your highness, it would be a great pleasure for you to meet the family" more pride beams off my driver.

While his kids are doing well, his son is having a little trouble with a class bully.

I know kids can be nasty, but in out palace there is no room for judgement or bullies, this I have to sort out myself.

Of course, you will not see me beat up a little pup. But I will not tolerate any bullies.

His wife, I could see the admiration in Josh's eyes as he spoke of his mate. So much pride and love was being chaneled at the mere talk of her.

It made me feel good. Getting to know my driver a little better.

Definitely made the drive alot more interesting.
