Everything has just been hectic since four months ago. Aiden and I have been attending 'lessons' for us to be properly groomed to be royalty. This was a lot faster than I expected. Time after time, our schedule is filled constantly with no time left for us to spend time together. We rarely end our day at the same time which makes it hard for us to talk or sleep together. A part of me did regret encouraging Aiden to take up this major decision which had a huge impact on me. I couldn't take back my words because now, everything is already set into place.

I collapse on my bed as soon as I reached my room. I'm drained. I groaned out in exhaustion. How long will I have to do this? I still have to study when I come back. My brain is worn out. I am afraid one of these days I might break down or even run away. The pressure and responsibility placed on my shoulders was too much. It is constantly weighing me down. The amount of notes I received today and having to memorize them as I will be tested tomorrow. I still have to study for a major exam coming in two months. I had to do well as I will be taking up business courses as part of the royalty criteria.

Someone knocks on my door and I proceed towards it, patting my hair down to make it look presentable. "Luna, you have a mail." Bella also known as my second in command holds out an envelope and I take it. "Thank you. You may leave." Bella bows in respect before I close the door. I settle down on my bed once again. I open up the mail and read through.

Dear Alpha King and Luna Queen,

I, Alpha Leo Of Westwood Pack, would like to invite the both of you to my baby shower. It will be held at our pack, Westwood Pack, located in Welson. This event will be held on the twenty fifth of April. We would be delighted if you could come.

Yours sincerely,
Leo

I giggle at the formality Leo was using. He didn't have to do this. A simple text message to either me or Aiden would have been fine. I heard stories about Leo many times from Aiden. I even met him once briefly but he seems like a nice guy. Honestly Aiden doesn't know that Leo and I are in contact for me to find out embarrassing stories about him and to chat with him about his cute baby or even his wife. I have heard many good things about Leo's wife and I really want to meet her. This would be a great opportunity!

This made my dull day a little brighter. I move to the shower to wash up before studying. I held my pen and went through a few practices of mathematics before moving on to memorize a bunch of information for my other subjects. By the end of it, my brain was about to explode. I move to memorize some notes I received today from 'classes'. I didn't realize when my eyes started dropping as I laid on my study desk and fell asleep.

I feel the soft mattress and recall that I feel asleep on the desk. I slowly lift my eye lashes and find that a large body was placed beside me. He had the features of a God. Before I even realize what I was doing, I trace my fingers, admiring his every feature. I lift my head for a soft peck on his nose. His nose scrunches slightly and I snicker. He looks adorable. 'Do I?' I move behind, startled. "You scared me! " I hit his chest.

"Ouch, that hurts! "I sit up, walking away from him. I start up the shower and someone decided to invite himself inside. I roll my eyes and continue to shower. I finish up before getting ready to dress up. I still have yet to get my body measurements for my outfits.

I resume on with my day. Gliding down the stairs gracefully as I have been taught. Bella by my side, just a few steps behind me. "What is my schedule for the day?" I said, filled with grace but with a certain amount of power.

"After breakfast, you have body measurements to do till eleven in the morning. Training begins at half an hour past eleven and ends at one in the afternoon. Lunch begins for an hour. Lunch ends and your classes begin at two in the afternoon till past eleven at night." I nod, acknowledging. I have breakfast with the pack members, a few joining in to chat with me.

I finished up my breakfast and make my way to get my body measurements. I made sure not to eat too much. After a long hour of getting my body measured for customised outfits, I changed into some comfortable training clothes and begin training. First physically then with my powers. My training went on for quite some time. I collapse on the ground, exhausted.

I showered to get rid of the sweat and changed into my original outfit. I joined Aiden for lunch and we talked a little. "Are you doing okay? You look exhausted." Aiden reaches out and place his hand over mine. I smile. "I may be a little tired but that won't stop my day. Plus I still have many more things to learn to be a Queen. Your Queen."

Aiden cups my face in his hand and rubs it gently. "I have to go now. See you tonight!" I kiss his cheek.

Today, my classes happen to be outside of our pack territory. Many bodyguards were deployed to protect me. I enter the car with the help of my driver, opening the car door for me. I sat and waited for us to move for the long two hours drive to our location.

For three days, I stayed outside of my pack territory. I had classes elsewhere and other activities on my schedule such as community work and visiting business partners. I had barely one or two hours of sleep per day. As I studied and worked throughout the day whenever I could find the time. I usually had my meals in the car, kindly prepared by Bella. These days, my body felt like it was about to shut down but I didn't allow it.

I sat in the car, leaning back to get a wink of sleep. All of a sudden, I felt a huge impact and as I opened my eyes, the car was rolling on the road. Even when I was wearing my seatbelt, I felt the glass shatter and pierce through my skin. I look towards Bella and her eyes were already closed. The car soon stops rolling but it was still upside down. I snap the seat belt using my powers and crawled out of the car. I used my powers to bring the driver and Bella out. I checked Bella for her pulse and she was still breathing. I checked her body for wounds and used my powers to heal her. I clutched my right arm in pain as blood started pouring out of it. Her eyes open, looking around confused.

I moved on to the driver and did the same thing as I did to Bella. The driver sat up, stretching out his body. I looked around and see that a truck driver has smashed into our car. The truck driver looked fine. I felt my body give in and collapsed on the hard ground. "Alexis!" That was the last thing I heard.

Third Person POV

Sirens were heard as bodyguards surrounded their queen. Paramedics came and checked their patients, one that was hanging by a single thread. They checked her pulse, putting all sorts of equipment on her, one helping her to breathe. "One, two, three UP!"They carried the stretcher into the ambulance, urging them to speed off to the hospital to get her treated.

She was pushed in quickly as the doctors get her in examination rooms to check on her condition. Amelia had a fatal neck injury as well as a failing kidney. The doctors treated her neck injury and scattered to prepare her for surgery. On the other hand, Aiden and Alexis' parents had received a call about their daughter's accident and rushed to the hospital. Now, they were waiting impatiently for any news on Alexis. Bella was crying in Adrian's arms when she realized that her best friend had saved her life. Aiden's parents were also there, comforting and assuring their son that his mate was going to be okay.

A doctor comes out to inform Amelia's parents about their daughter's surgery. "I am Dr. Ben. I have some bad news to share. Your daughter has a failing kidney and we have to perform surgery on her. Before we do so, you will have to give your consent by signing this form. One more thing is that your daughter is currently losing blood and that she might not make it out alive. I am truly sorry to be delivering this devastating news." Grayson and Alyssa shared a glance before signing the form to allow the surgery to continue as scheduled. "We will do our best in saving your daughter."

The waiting room was filled with sobs and silence with no one speaking. Alyssa leaned in Grayson's chest as Grayson comforted his wife. He too was feeling terrified of the outcome. He didn't want to lose his one and only daughter. Bella, Adrian along with his parents had left to get some rest. Aiden still sat at the waiting room chair, blaming himself for all that has happened to his mate. He should have been there to protect her.
