(Amanda's POV)

It's been nine years sence the house fire, Damian had taught me everything he knew and I went back to my kingdom, fought my way back onto my throne, improved the way my people live, and... had a family of my own... Damian and I broke up when I left.. not because we didn't care about eachother, just, we're two far away, plus we're rulers now. You only have so much time to spend with the ones you love. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids with all my heart! It's just.. they're father that's annoying.. he's caused me the most trouble, and I'm honestly thinking of a devours. The brat just wanted power that's all. I looked up at my personal maid and bestfriend.

"Ezy? Can you please get my husband for me?" I say calmly, this is for the best.. I can't have a power seeking, lunatic running through my family's halls. She gave me a suggestive look.

"Should I make sure the kids are in the ballroom playing as well?" She had a suggestive tone to. If any of you are wondering, she can talk to me like that. It should be obvious seeing as she's a good friend.

"No, it's fine. I just need to talk him about something. Oh but before you go can you get the devours papers for me? They should be on the shelf over there." I gestured to the middle row of books and papers, full of royalty bullshit I have to deal with. But Damian was right, after helping rule a werewolf kingdom, ruling a Me~Fa kingdom is a peace of cake. She seemed shocked, but got out the papers and set them on my desk.

"Amanda, a kingdom needs a king... you should know this.." She said, sounding a bit worried.

"I know, and I have someone in mind. Plus I know he's single, he invited me to a ball last week. Strangely enough he didn't have a parter to dance with. I just don't want to deal with a power loving lunitic running through my ancestors halls, and taking down pictures of my desist family." I reassured her that I knew what I was doing.

"What about the ki-" I caught her off, this is the first time I've had to do this..

"If your trying to make me change my mind, it's not going to work. I don't even think he cares about the kids. He doesn't even really care about me. He doesn't understand that I don't need him, so he's going to learn that." I told her fermly, signing the papers and standing up to look over my armor I keep in my office.

"Yes your majesty..." She sighed and walked out. I took out my sword and sat on my desk sharpening it. After a few minutes I felt that man rap his arms me and kiss my neck.

"I didn't ask you here to make out, but with how you do things I'm sure you were thinking of doing more." I said lifting my sword up to show him that I am armed if he trys to do something stupid. He grumbled, annoyed as he backed off.

"Then why did you call me?" He sounded a bit angry. See, all he cares about is getting under my skirt and onto my throne. I thought agitated.

"To talk about a devours. Actually, to have you sign the papers for one." I smiled at my sword, making it obvious that I didn't want him here anymore. And that I would fight him.

"Okay, then get out of my house, and off my throne." He growled, I swung my sword back at him so it is a inch away from his face.

"I'm sorry, but I don't recall you being in MY family! There for, this is MY house, and I can sit on MY throne! So get down in here, then go and pack your things and leave! That is a direct order from your Queen!" I growled back, he quickly signed the papers and left. Ezy hesitately came back in.

"M-my lady, I think it would be in your best interest to calm down..?" She said quietly as a relaxed my arm.

"Sorry, can you get Lola and Alex for me please?" I said putting the sword back where it belongs. She nodded and went to get them. I looked out on my kingdom.. Im my family's legacy, dad wanted me to take up his throne... and I have, that has been my goal in life.. for the longest time. Thomas is in prison. Damian is ruling his kingdom with a firm but kind hand. And I'm doing the same... well also trying to keep my family's memory alive.. I've done everything I ever wanted to do..... so why am I not happy?... heck, I'm raising a family now. And a kingdom... I've done almost everything there is to be done.. I just... I miss the times I had with Damian, the times when we just got to hang out and not worry about anything. I miss the old days.. I miss him... I thought as I sat on the chair next to the window playing with a torn hem on my dress I need to fix. I got out a needle and thread and started to fix it. If I am to see Damian again, I should look my best.. I thought to myself stitching over it time and time again making sure it wouldn't come out again. I heard my two munchkins quickly come in and stand at attention. I smiled. I taught them to do that in front of the maids and guests to psych them out. I looked back to see Ezy standing right behind them all prim and proper.

"Ezy, may you please see to it that Phillip leaves?" I asked, she nodded and quickly made her way out. I put the needle and thread away. Once the door closed, both Lola and Alex ran over to me and practically jumped on me with a hug.

"Mommy!!" The black haired, six year old twins yelled happily. I laughed hugging them back.

"Hello marshmallows! I have a surprise for you." I smiled, they pulled back, eager to know what it is.

"What is it?! What is it?!" Lola shouted. They were sitting on my lap now, snuggled up to each of my sides. They understood that I had two arms for hugging, two hands for holding and one heart for sharing. I always told them that they can share me when we had fun together. We couldn't spend allot of time together, so whenever we were together I wanted to make the most of it.

"Do you remember the nice man who invited us to that ball the other week?" I asked. They nodded happily.

"Damian was really nice! Much nicer then daddy, can't we just trade daddy for him?" Alex pouted at the end. I laughed a little.

"I'm not sure, maybe. But anyway, back to my point. I'm making arrangements for us to meat up again. I don't know when it will be tho." I said, I could tell Alex was exited. Lola just looked confused, she didn't get to go last week cause she was sick, sadly.

"B-but mom, I'm shy around new people.." Lola mumbled quietly, with her ears back in a shy manner and she was playing with a piece of her hair. Alex reached over and took her hand, which made me so happy seeing them supporting eachother.

"It'll be okay. He's really nice, and polite. Mommy says he was the one that taught her how to be a ruler!" He smiled at her, she smiled back, and I smiled at them both. He looked back up at me and smiled mischievously. "So what you gonna wear for wolf boy?" I dodged my gaze. What did he see?! I thought. We really only danced together, and that's it. "Don't think I didn't see you blushing when he started sweet talking you."

"I-I'm going to wear my nicest dress.. why?" I questioned.

"Oh, no reason." He said in a very, I know something you probably don't want me to, kinda way. WHAT IS THIS BOY KEEPING FROM ME?!

(Alex's POV)

They totally kissed.
