Dahlia's POV

I'm getting ready for the Christmas ball I love my gown although I think Darius and Logan will have palpitations when they see me in it. It doesn't reveal my chest it's one shoulder strap. very fitted mermaid style gown beautiful in my eyes. My parents will obviously be here and Don Darius and Logan's father too he isn't just father to the Kings he is also an Alpha.
I curl my hair into a posh bun with a low single braiding the middle into the bun, with a few tendrils curled and left dangling. I have a makeup artist I was adamant on doing my own hair though.
I walked out of my bedroom and down the grand staircase I would make my own entrance by myself. Other Alphas and Luna's as well as unmated Alphas grossly eyeing me were unmarked unlike myself. I only have eyes for my Kings. I was wearing one of the crowns ruby and diamond tiaras signifying my authority, as the Queen in training. I am given a line up of the royal guards as I make my way in front of the Alphas awaiting their introductions as I walk up the gallery steps carefully it's not easy walking up stairs in this type of gown but hey looks wise I'm amazing. The other guests get the ground floor entrance. I have to walk past the closed gallery down another smaller grand staircase to my mates. I walk past the royal guards ignoring the hushed whispers from our guests. I walk past the guards as Bill is dressed in his fine threads ready to announce me. He opens the large arched double doors. I wait.

"Introducing Her Royal Majesty in Waiting. Princess Dahlia West from the Mystique West Pack." He moves to the left side of the door as I enter my posture straight when I see my mates I get into a low curtsy and slowly walk down the left side of the stone staircase my right hand lightly gliding down the banister. My heart speeding up as I approach heaven I.E. my mates. Once I made it to the bottom of the stairs both Darius and Logan took my hands bowing as they kissed my knuckles. I smiled lovingly at them admiring their chiselled features even though they were covered in the royal suits. They gave me mega-watt smiles. "Princess you are the belle of the ball" Darius said followed by Logan "well I was waiting for my princess and down walks our sexy queen." "Haha babes stop it your making me more nervous." They both held my waist. "God baby we love your dress but I hate these Alphas thinking they have a chance with you. Your OURS." "Say it louder maybe they'll hear you." I jestingly said but Darius and Logan took it literally. "Alphas EYES OFF YOUR PRINCESS SHE's OURS ONLY" Darius really oh no "YEAH SO PUT YOUR TONGUES BACK IN YOUR MOUTHS SHE ONLY WANTS US AS YOUR KINGS' WE ORDER YOU TO NOT LOOK AT YOUR PRINCESS IF YOU HAVE THE WRONG INTENTIONS!" Well I feel like a mouse wanting to scurry into a hole. They are royalty but are they allowed to do that. This is humiliating where's the dam waiter. Could they be anymore childish.
I was lead to the dance floor as I took hold in Logan's embrace first for a jivey number then I was spun into Darius I continued dancing between my mates until the song finished when we left the dance floor for refreshments everyone else got onto the dance floor. I saw my mother and father a good time swaying and dancing together it brought a smile to my face until I saw a creepy couple of unmarked Alphas gaze hungrily up and down my figure making me shift I showed my Phoenix's white eyes and glared at them. Charisma pushing through my mates sensed my change and went to deal with the leering Alpha earning a couple of fractured ribs and a busted face everyone stopped my eyes returned to normal. I didn't interrupt my mates they did just warn the Alphas. "DID WE NOT WARN YOU BASTARDS! LEAVE THE ROYAL BALL YOU JUMPED UP PUP," "NEVER SHOW YOUR FACE HERE AGAIN!" Logan started as Darius finished speaking both my mates were ready to rip his head off I knew the look I had the same one when both my friends were slaughtered in front of me.
I rushed to my mates' as fast as I could in this gown when I touched their arms they released a calming breath calming down instantly. I sneered at the pig who ogled me. "You heard your Kings' sling your hook I only have eyes for my mates bozo move it or loose it." I changed my eyes giving Charisma some control. He gulped and left with I'm assuming his beta who was not impressed by his Alphas actions and apologised to us on his behalf. "Well what's a party with a little drama." I spoke loudly to the band to continue playing as my mates ushered me up the stairs for greeting all the Alphas I'm sure after that performance the staring unmarked Alphas earlier will think twice before ogling me.

I treated every Alpha and Luna politely when my parents came up my fake smile went wide with excitement I hugged both my parents not wanting to let them go ever. "So sweetie your marked now and glowing congratulations. You handled that incident like a Queen." "Thanks mum." "Well princess elegant as always, your Majesties you better look out for our baby don't make the same mistake we did letting an unknown bastard freely walk around our pack." Darius and Logan sternly nodded. "Alpha Mitch we will never allow it but I'm sure Dahlia is more than capable of handling herself now." I love them Logan has come a long way from not wanting me to practice my sword skills to trusting me and our pack with me. My father gives him a curt nod and bows as he gives me a mega smile before leading my mother away.

Once we've treated everyone I sit in a plush chair unable to stand in my heels my mates soon join me on chairs on either side of mine and Darius places his hand around my knee whilst Logan drapes his arm over the back of my chair.

In the early morning we saw some of the guests leave I could no longer stay awake I was still exhausted from being marked yesterday. My mates and I walked up the stairs and down the same corridor I came through down the stairs turning left up the grand staircase case turning right again and down the familiar corridor to our bedroom.
