Enzo suggested that Kaida would be Queen moving forward, and her mates would share the title of King. There was not to be a single person making decisions, but all six would be involved in everything after speaking with the council. No one argued that term.
Kaida did her best to keep herself from hurling that morning's breakfast as she paced along her room. The guys were getting ready in a different one, so they didn't try to tear away the dress that Azulia had sent her from the Faerie Kingdom. The letter attached to it caused a level of alarm, but Azulia assured her that things were fine and she didn't need Kaida to fly to the kingdom to save her just yet. The dress was deep purple with fabric added to give it the look of scales. At the top, it was black, and then it faded into the purple of her magic underneath. It was a sweetheart neckline with no sleeves. Azulia added stitching of the elements and lightning around the waist to signify her bonds to her mates. After she put on the dress, Kaida sat down and read the letter.
To the lovely Queen Kaida,
I heard from a fellow Faerie that you wiped the floor with Gemar. You go, girl! I had my money on you from the beginning and am so proud of you.
Things are okay in my kingdom. The Dark Dimension hasn't touched it yet, but I can feel a storm brewing. I am doing my best to keep the peace between the Seelie and Unseelie, but I don't think the courts see eye to eye often. Sometimes, I think the Unseelie are already affected by the dimension, that they are working with it and not against it. I don't know for sure yet, but I'll be sure to keep you updated.
I wish I could be there for the ceremony to see your pretty head crowned. Just know that I am thinking of you and wishing you all the best from afar. I'll visit as soon as I can.
With Love,
Azulia.
P.S. Remy mentioned in her letter that she has an addition to the dress. I'm not sure what it was, but please tell me what she sent!
Kaida found a box under the one that held her dress. Inside it was a leather jacket like the one Remy wore. Kaida laughed when she found it and slipped into it. Under the tissue paper was a letter from Remy.
Hey, badass!
I knew you'd show that king who was really the one in charge. I'm so damn proud of you. I can't wait to see that damn crown on your head and for you to get the respect you deserve. Let those boys know that if they do something stupid now that they are kings, I'll find a way over there and kick their asses. Bet that I won't.
By the way, I let Azulia know I was adding to your crowning day outfit. I swear if I find out you didn't wear it, Imma be mad.
I'd be there, but things are going down among the packs. I did not miss the Lycan life of people thinking they must fight over stupid things because their dominance gets to their heads. If I could, I would make a law so this can't happen anymore. I am worried the Dark Dimension is touching down here. If you don't hear from me, just know I am deep inside of bullshit, and I'll send an update as soon as I'm out of it.
Your Furry Friend, Remy.
Kaida laughed and found herself hugging the jacket and dress on her to feel closer to her friends. She could feel their energy inside of the fabrics, and it made her yearn to visit her friends. She made a mental note that, once they were all settled here, she would make it a point to visit each of them unless they sent a message that she was needed to help with the Dark Dimension first. Their letters seemed to express that they were handling things just fine without her, and so many things needed to change in the Dragon Kingdom now that she was to take the throne.
I got this. I have my mates to help me through it.
A knock on the door pulled her away from her thoughts. Kaida rushed over and opened it. A squeal rang through the halls as she entered her parents' arms. They hugged her so tight she could barely breathe, but she didn't dare tell them. She needed to feel them after months of being away. Kaida felt the wetness against their cheeks and did her best not to let her own spill.
"It is so good to feel your hug again," her mother said around her neck.
"It's been too long!" her father said against the other side.
Kaida pulled away and whimpered at them. The tears welling in her eyes spilled down her face as she looked them over. After fighting for her life multiple times without much of a break, she had to remind herself this wasn't a dream.
"I'm so happy to be home. I have so much to tell you."
Her father waved his hands. "We have time for that later. We need to get you down to the throne room. Your ceremony is to start any minute."
"You need to meet my mates!"
"After!" her mother demanded. “We couldn't get up here sooner because Nande has been fussing over every detail since you returned. Since we arrived, she has been grabbing us to help her fix things."
Kaida snickered with self-satisfaction, knowing Nande was doing everything she could to make up for a mistake she didn't even make. Eventually, she would have to convince the former queen that what she did under Gemar's control was not her fault, and Kaida didn't hold anything against her.
Dracul and Audra walked down the halls with their arms looped through hers until they reached the throne room. Her mates were dressed in vests and pants with shirts the colors of their respective magic underneath. Kaida noticed the vests were all out of the same fabric as hers and resembled the scales of their dragons. The Elemental Princes all winked at her, knowing that Azulia made them and sent them over for them to wear for the ceremony. Enzo smiled at them, understanding that they all knew Azulia more, and gave her a hopeful wish through their bond that he would be among the rest of them to know her friends.
"You boys take care of her, or I'll have to call in my contacts in the other kingdoms to teach you a lesson," Dracul threatened as he shook the hands of her mates.
"Dad!"
The guys looked at her and smirked. Blaze winked again before bowing his head at her father. "Trust me, sir. She will be the one who kicks our asses for disrespecting her. I think we will all be on our best behavior."
