Seemingly driving for an hour or so i was shaken awake by my mother. "Sarah, honey we stopped to take a new transport to the castle, we either fly from here or go in wolf form so he will take a helicopter to the gates. The mountain is to steep for a road. I stretched and nodded. Stepping out of the Hummer the chopper was already being loaded with our luggage. I turned to take in the view of the castle behind me and i was stunned.

 The castle sat atop the mountain basically, the steep incline down made you cringe but also gave a rush at the thought of sledding down it. The cream exterior paired with the stone surrounding it gave a modern medieval view. The snow over the mountain and trees surrounding it gave you the idea you where in a fairy tale. I was in love with the whole idea now. I couldn't wait to explore the castle and see if a dragon was guarding a tower. 

Laughing to myself i mind linked Sophie "Want to pretend you are the princess and i am the dragon in one of those towers?" She giggled at me and linked back "we don't have to pretend if its the truth and the smell of your dragon breath makes it so!"

 I leaned down and scooped up a snow ball throwing it at her and smacked her in the face. She reeled back and growled picking up her own throwing it back i dodged and she hit Gezara. She screeched and thew her own, before long even my parents and guards had joined in our little snow fight using the Hummer as a shield along with the chopper. Memories we would never forget always make you closer.

"Alpha King, Luna Queen, princesses and others, i hate to interrupt the fun. However we are limited on time and need to make it to the castle before the storm hits." The helicopter pilot yelled over our laughter. We groaned and reluctantly took turns on our ride to the palace, Royalty first then the guards would follow on the next flight. 

I admired the view as we circled around to land on the platform close to the gates. Multiple people met us upon the arrival as we stepped out of the helicopter. "Failte roimh mhoilini na sleibhe go mor le do chruinneas!" A beautiful young woman with dark brown hair and light brown eyes met us taking my mother into a tight embrace. I raised an eyebrow at them and mother smiled at me "She said welcome to the Mountain Wolves your highness." i nodded to her. 

"Mom where did you learn to speak Irish? The accent is amazing and i'm quite jealous i haven't learned!" I playfully scolded her as she replied " Soon dear, we have only just begun your Queen training. Patience is a virtue my child." 

 We chatted as we began walking into the palace, the large wooden arch shaped door opened revealing a foyer of old stone Walls and Hardwood floors. The staircase spiraled up to the multiple levels and the skylight gave a wonderful view of the clouded sky above, i could only imagine how beautiful it was to look at he stars on clear nights.

 That isn't what intrigued me though, a chocolate and marshmallow smell swirled around me and warmed me from the deepest part of my soul. I smiled breathing deeply "Luna Queen Kitanie, what is that delightful smell? It almost smells like you are making smores in every room!" i couldn't help the childish comment as i giggled and looked around expecting to find a fire with sticks ready to roast the marshmallows.

The surrounding rooms all had the same lingering smell and i couldn't wait to find the source. Kitanie laughed at me shaking her head, "No dear i do not believe we have anyone making smores but maybe we could do that one evening, we do have a fire pit designed for such occasions. Alpha King Sterling does love a good marshmallow roast as do my children." i nodded to her as we continued our tour of the house. 

We where to be put in the North tower they called it since it was one of the largest with multiple rooms and a private kitchen, living area. My mother and Kitanie never let their intertwined arms drop as  we explored. "Oh Kit, this place hasn't changed. I used to dream of staying here forever you know, remember hiding in the pantry scaring the daylights out of old Ms. Widernet. This was my happy place, you made it so, we caused so much grief to our parents didn't we."
