Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that I had done wrong, that I was overreacting even. I was supposed to protect her that had been my task and I had gone above and beyond the call of duty. The Shadow elf could take care of her now I had my body back and didn't need her any more.

I was well past the castles limits when I finally stopped walking and crumpled to my knees in a patch of knee-high weeds. I sat there processing all that had gone on it this short 72 hours of time; I had angered a werewolf quite a few times, massacred a battalion of soldiers, looked my mate in the eyes and ran from him, finally I had pushed away the only person that could understand what I was going through. As the years have gone by I have tried to forget the circumstance that had lead us to the ending, but try as I might the story has always been there in the back of my mind.

It was the day of my bother Bronwyn and I's 5th birthday and my parents had invited ambassadors from all of the seven kingdoms to my party. I was angry because it fell on the same day as the great gathering and my parents would be busy for most of the day. I was in my room procrastinating as usual, unwilling to get dress in the formal attire expected for the gala later that night. A blue silk embroidered jacket, a pearl white knee-length dress and shoes where laid across my bed by a servant as I examined myself.

"Wynona" I whispered to the retreating back of the tiny little blonde girl.

"Yes Princess" She murmured as she stared down at the floor, probably scared that she had done something wrong.

"One day will I be pretty like my mama?"

"No"

"What" I whimper as tears well up in my eyes, was I really going to be like this forever.

"You'll be beautiful not just pretty now let's get dressed for your party Princess."

I smiled as I slipped into the dress and stood while Wynona laced up the back. Another servant came in to do my hair and cover my scar with a bit of concealer while another helped me into my shoes. Just as Wynona was about to button my coat I snapped, even as a child I had a formidable temper.

"Enough I can do this all on my own!" I yelled

Before any of them could answer I heard the tell-tale throat clearing that signaled the entrance of my older brother, Kane. The girls curtseyed to him then left the room immediately, leaving me to face him alone. I turned to him wearing my best I'm not scared of you face as he stared down at me, for a 9 year old he was very tall.

"Brigham" he whispered as he kneeled down and began to do up the buttons on my jackets.

"Kane I'm not a baby I can do it on my own!" I growled

He stood again is eyes narrowing and a deeper bass growl started in the back of his throat. Even though he was older than me we always seemed to be caught in a game of dominance, I just wanted him to see that I wasn't just the little girl everyone else saw. We probably would have gone on like that if Angelica hadn't come bouncing into my room uninvited; she was his would be queen. Her father was our father's right hand man and the most trusted of the entire counsel.

"Causing trouble again Princess Brigham and on your birthday too." She giggled as she sidled up next to Kane and slide her hand in his own.

"I was under the impression that it wasn't your business, Angelica. In fact I didn't think that it was written anywhere that I had to hold myself accountable to you and I didn't give you permission to be in my room." I hissed
