Prologue:
Wonderland has always been a magical world of war and deceit, assassinations and Guards to prevent them. These Guards are the Ace, the Ten, and the Nine. They protect the Queen and King, as well as their prince, the
Jack. These Guards are chosen out of many contestants over a six
month training period, only the top fifteen make it while the rest
are either made average castle Guards, only needed as precautions, or
sent back home to make a living on whatever business their family has
made for themselves.
Ever since Alice Opinor was born, her parents wanted her to go into the
family business- farming; but she has never wanted to plant seeds or
harvest fruits or vegetables. She's never wanted a simple life with
no surprises greater than an unplanned drought.
Always getting into trouble, she's known that she was meant for something
more than harvesting the corn. She knew she didn't belong in the
teeny cottage with more leaks than a colander. And so as soon as her
sixteenth birthday arrived, as soon as she was considered an adult,
she signed herself up for Guard training for her country, the country
of Spade.

Icy asked, taking it as calmly as possible. "We climb a mountain, or we teleport. You can go with me and Mid--and we prefer to climb the mountain." Luna explained. "Who's Mid?" Icy asked, not at all thrilled at the prospect of climbing a mountain. "Midnight. A good friend of mine." Luna explained. "Okay, where do we climb, and how do I wear a harness?" Icy asked calmly.

"Well are you going to answer or are you just going to stand there like a fool!" he says rudely. "Ah well you see. There are a lot of guards around her and we...the soldiers don't know how to get past all of them without being seen." "So make a plan. I give you one job and you can't do it yourself. You should pity yourself!" the man says standing up abruptly making the chair fall. "Well we do have a plan, my lord." "Okay," the man says staring at the soldier, "Tell me!" he adds when the soldier stays quiet. "We were wondering if we could kill them all by making a trap." "Okay then kill them," the man says with no mercy. "Yes, my lord. We will leave tomorrow," the soldier says bowing his head and leaves. ______________________________ When Arielle gets kidnapped by her mate, she is introduced to a completely new world that changes her life forever.
