ALEXI

The closer we walked towards the ballroom the more panic began to set in. How many people were in there? Was it the whole town? The whole kingdom? Would I meet their parents?

“Breathe princess,” Fury whispered in my ear.

We stopped in front of two large oak doors. Guards dressed in the loyal uniform stood in front of it, each with a sword at their hips.

“We will be with you.” Slade smiled down at me.

He pecked my lips. I gave a small nod before sucking in a deep breath. The twins took hold of my hands. They hooked my hands through their arms then nodded at the guard. As soon as we entered the room everything fell silent. Everyone turned toward us. A guard made an announcement which I couldn't hear. My heart was beating in my ears as I took everything in. There had to be at least five hundred people here. Maybe even more if you count all the guards standing at all entrances. My eyes trailed around to take everything in.

Above us– in a glitter of diamonds– hung a large chandelier right in the middle of the ceiling. The room was large– almost as big as the pack house. There were windows all around for natural lightening, doors that led out to balconies. Two tables with food was set up at one side of the room with drinks and other stuff. Fury said something which caused the people to give an applause. I allowed them to lead me through the room. We greeted people I've never met before. What felt like hours later they finally led me to a corner of the big room. Leaning back against the wall, I sucked in a shaky breath. I pressed a hand against my stomach as it turned dangerously.

“Lexi.” Fury placed his hand against my cheek, making my eyes flutter up to his. “Are you okay?”

“J-just give me a minute.”

Bile rose in my throat making my eyes widen. I pressed my other hand against my mouth. They seemed to catch on. Fury wrapped an arm around my waist. The air around us shifted. Seconds later I found myself in a bathroom. I sank to the floor on my knees in front of the toilet.  
Gripping it I heaved, emptying the contents in my stomach. When I was finally done, I leaned back against Fury. I felt tired and totally drained all of the sudden.

“I'll call a doctor,” Slade said softy. He knelt in front of me to wipe my face with a cold cloth.

“N-no, I'm fine,” I gave him a small. “It's just the nerves.”

He searched my face before letting out a sigh. Slade leaned forward to press his forehead against mine.

“Okay, but if this get worse I'm calling a doctor.”

I nodded. I surprised him when I wrapped my arms around his shoulders to press my face against his neck. I breathed in his familiar scent, feeling my nerves die down slightly.

“I'm okay.”

We entered the ballroom again a few minutes later, but this time unnoticed. Fury kept one hand pressed against my lower back while Slade held my hand.

“Good evening.”

I glanced up. My eyes widened as they locked with electric blue ones. Prince Erik smiled at me. He shook hands with both the twins before turning slightly. My eyes widened as they fell on the woman standing at his side. She was a little taller than me. Her brunette hair was braided down her back. Her skin was pale which made her forest green eyes stand out. The ball dress she wore was exactly the same colour as her eyes. Her body was slim with wide hips and a narrow waist.

“This is my wife, Roxanne,” Erik introduced us softly.

I gave her a small smile in greeting. My eyes moved to the twins as they kissed her cheek.
