"What's going on?" I said when I went downstairs. I was greeted by at least twelve different maids standing in attention with professional looks on their faces.

I looked over at Tyler and he shrugged. "Don't look at me because I have no idea what's going on either."

"Ah, Trinity, Tyler my darlings!" Grandma said with excitement. She ran up to us and hugged us as if she hadn't seen us in a long time. That just made me even more confused.

I blinked. "Ah, okay? Again, what's going on?"

"Oh your grandfather and I thought it would be best to give some maids that will be at your beckon call while you stay here," Grandma explained. "It's actually protocol and you two are members of the Royal Family. Oh and we're having a party tonight to introduce you guys to the rest of the Royal Family! Tyler, your parents will be coming along with some members of your pack to celebrate with us! Don't worry we've made arrangements to keep your pack safe while your parents and other pack members are gone."

"Okay," Tyler said.

Before he could say anything else, Dad walked up to us and smiled. "You two will definitely have some adjusting to do!"

"Some adjusting?" I said, while I raised an eyebrow. "I'd say it's a lot of adjusting! I mean seriously, I just became a pack's Luna and now I find out that I'm royalty? And-"

Tyler covered my mouth with his hand and said, "Take a deep breath and chill out. You're going to give yourself a panic attack if you don't calm down."

I nodded slowly and he took his hand off my mouth. I composed myself, "Okay so what happens now?"

"Well you have the maids to help you get ready for the night," Grandma said.

"Now?" I asked, "But we just woke up! Besides, I'm hungry and how long does it take just to get ready to go for a party?"

Dad rolled his eyes. "For a person of Royalty to get ready for a big event, you'd be surprised at how long it takes. And you thank your Grandmother for that one."

Grandma paused and sniffed the air. She looked at Dad and gagged. "Okay I know you went out for a run and killed deer while you were out!"

"What?" Dad whined, "I was hungry!"

"Well that just means you're going to have to take longer to get ready," Grandma said. "I don't want you to show up at the party smelling like a deer!"

I snorted. Grandma continued with her scolding, "Now Prince Andrew Scott go get started on getting ready for the party tonight!"

"But Mom," Dad whined. "I want a rematch with Trinity in combat today! A rematch and a race again, I'm not losing to my daughter again just because I'm old!"

I burst into laughter at that remark, Tyler and Grandma joined in.

"Oh please child," Grandma said after she composed herself, "I'm a lot older than you are and I can still beat a teenager in a combat match along with racing," She looked at me. "Maybe we should race sometime?"

I perked up. "Really? That would be awesome!"

Grandma chuckled, "Yeah I know. But that will have to wait for another day. You're coming with me young lady and we're going to start getting ready for the party tonight. And you Tyler will go with Trinity's father to get ready for tonight and we'll see you in the evening."

Dad groaned, "Ugh, fine come with me Tyler."

Dad grabbed Tyler's hand and dragged him away from me. As soon as they left Grandma grabbed my hand and dragged me to the spa of all places! I opened my mouth to protest and when Grandma put up a hand to silence me. "Nope, no protesting young lady! I know you're not into this type of stuff and I do believe you get that from your father. But I believe important people of the Royal Family should walk into a party looking like they own the place. Since I'm a queen I do have part ownership of this place. And every person in the immediate family of the ruler needs to look like they own the place! And they need to look like a million bucks!"

I groaned and said to myself, "Something tells me this is going to be a long day!"

"I heard that!" Grandma said, "Now come on let's get ready to go, time is of the essence! Chop! Chop!"

I groaned again and shook my head as I followed Grandma so I could start getting ready to go for the party tonight.

Trinity's Dad, who I now refer to as Mr. Scott looked at the rack of clothes in front him like he was concentrating on something. I was starting to get annoyed because seriously, how long does it take to pick out an outfit for a party? I know I've hosted parties before and it never took me this long to get ready. True we just had breakfast and now that I think about Andrew did smell like he just killed a deer during hunting.

At least we ate breakfast before we got started.

"Hmm," Mr. Scott said, "No I don't think this outfit's right either but…"

He took the outfit he was looking at off the rack and tossed it on the bed. He looked at me after taking another outfit and tossing it on the bed next to the last outfit he took out. "Both of these outfits are good because most of the time the intermediate relatives of the ruler's family will wear a variation of red and black clothing because those are the colors of the Crescent Moon pack. So you'll be matching Trinity's outfit either way."

"Honestly, I can't wait to see what she looks like tonight," I said. I felt myself getting to go off into daydream land when Mr. Scott snapped me out of it, flicking my forehead with his index finger.

"Okay now isn't the time to go into pervertville!" Mr. Scott said, "You can rip Trinity's outfit off her after the party!"

I gave a nervous chuckle when I felt my cheeks go red. "Who said I was daydreaming about that?"

Mr. Scott rolled his eyes. "Oh please Tyler, I know that look when I see it! Now let's focus on the task at hand." He turned his attention back to the rack of clothing and picked out another outfit and tossed it on the bed next to the last two he picked out.

The first outfit he picked out was a black suit jacket, with black pants to go with it and a red button up shirt underneath. It had a brooch that looked like a moon pinned on a sash right by the right shoulder level with the handkerchief pocket on the left side of the suit jacket. The second outfit that was picked out was a red suit jacket, with red pants to go with it and a black button up shirt with a black sash to go with the suit jacket in the same manner of the last outfit. The third outfit that was picked out was a black suit jacket with a white button up shirt and a red sash to go with the suit jacket, the suit had red pants to go with it.

"Alright, you need to try on all three outfits," Mr. Scott said. "And if those don't look right for whatever the reason then it's back to the drawing board. But before that, you need to go take a shower." He went into the bathroom and took out a towel and tossed it at me. "I'm going to go take a shower and I'll be back in a half to forty-five minutes. That should give you plenty of time for you to take a shower and get ready to try on the first outfit. See you in a bit!"

I shook my head and went to take a shower.

"Don't even think about it young lady!" Grandma scolded, "You look like you're going to protest and it makes sense because you've been digging your heels in ever since this process got started."

I groaned and Grandma continued, "And I know you're tomboy but with the right kind of outfit, makeup and accessories you can pull off wearing anything. As a matter of fact, you look so beautiful and you've only had the spa treatment! Just think if you do one spa treatment a week your skin will be so flawless you'll look like the perfect Princess!"

Grandma couldn't stop beaming with pride and I'm going to assume she was imagining me in some sort of extravagant outfit for the party or something like that. At this point in the process of getting ready for the party I was bored and I wanted to go for a run so bad and let Danger out to play for a bit. But I knew I couldn't because I was getting ready to go for a stupid party.

Grandma grabbed my hand and dragged me over to a dressing area where I knew it was going to be even longer to get ready because I'm pretty sure Grandma's going to another two hours just to pick out the right outfit for me! I mean she did spend about half a day looking for outfits for me at the store on our family outing. Not to mention it's noon already!

"Can we at least eat lunch first?" I asked.

Grandma sighed, "Alright I'll at least let you eat lunch because I don't want you to eat dinner as if you've never eaten before."

I snorted. I could feel Danger being antsy and restless and I sighed, I know Danger, you can't come out today!

I know, I know! Danger whined, It's just annoying when I have to be kept inside even though I was just let out yesterday!

Grandma chuckled, "Don't worry, you can let your wolf out later after the party. Until then she can't come out so she's just going to have to be patient."

I nodded. After we got lunch we went back to the dressing room and Grandma began the long process of picking out an outfit for me. Two hours later Grandma finally settled on an outfit that was a black strapless dress and it had a red sash with a brooch that looked like a moon that was pinned right under the right shoulder.

She brought out a red wooden box and when she opened it what was in it took my breath away. It looked like a medium sized comb and a red ruby in the middle of the top of it. There were six diamonds that were lined at the top of the comb.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

"This is a type of comb that helps pin your hair up and signifies you as a person of royalty," Grandma said. "However, in order to wear this you have to have your hair up in a certain style. And that type of hairstyle takes about a half an hour to do. So we will save doing this for last."

I groaned and I was going to say something again but I chose not to. Dad did say that I could thank Grandma for having a long process of getting ready for a party and now I'm starting to see what he meant.

Finally it was time for the party and Mr. Scott and I finished ready to go with fifteen minutes to spare. He led me to a room that was off to the side of the ballroom where the event would be held.

I gave Mr. Scott a look of confusion. "Okay why are we here? Aren't we supposed to be in the ballroom?"

Mr. Scott shook his head. "Nope! We will go out once the event has officially started and the trumpets have sounded for us to appear."

"Huh, interesting I've never had to wait until an event officially started just to go out and greet my guests," I said. "Where's Trinity?"

"She's in another room like this one with your Grandma In-law," He answered. "Calm down, you'll get to see her soon."

I had no idea how restless I was about seeing Trinity until Mr. Scott said something. I just wanted to see what she looked like for the event. I tried not to fidget but I guess I was anxious because this experience was new to me.

He chuckled, "Relax boy you're jumpy! I'm glad I'm used to this because if I wasn't I would be fidgeting like you are."

While Mr. Scott was casually standing by the doorway, I was sitting down shaking my left leg to try and get my nerves under control.

Mr. Scott opened the door a little bit more and I'm going to assume so he could listen for the cue for us to go outside. He suddenly looked at me and said, "I just heard our cue, get up, let's go."

As soon as I entered the hallway, I stopped short when I saw Trinity. She was wearing a black strapless dress and it had a red sash with a brooch that looked like a moon that was pinned right under the right shoulder. Her hair was done up with a French braid that went over her forehead and a medium sized comb and a red ruby in the middle of the top of it. There were six diamonds that were lined at the top of the comb. She was wearing black wedges to complete the outfit.

My jaw dropped. It took everything in me not to pounce on her and fuck her right there in the hallway.

"Take her hand and lead her down the stairs," I heard Mr. Scott whisper into my ear, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Oh, right, sure," I went over to Trinity and held out my hand and we linked arms as I led her down the stairs after our names were announced.

"You look beautiful!" I whispered into her ear, "I can't wait to take that dress off you after the party tonight."

I smiled when I saw her blush at my remark. Once we got down the stairs I heard a couple guys whistling at Trinity. I wanted to go over to them and beat the ever loving daylights out of them. But I knew I had to control myself because of this being a formal event.

Thankfully Mr. Scott seemed to know what to do to calm the guys that continued to whistle and catcall Trinity.

"That is ENOUGH!" Mr. Scott roared. He went over to the two guys who were whistling at Trinity and grabbed them by their shirt collars. "Guards!"

"Yes, your highness?" One of the guards said.

"Please find out the names of these two men and escort them over to the dungeons," Mr. Scott ordered. "I'll make sure that they give Princess Trinity a formal apology later!"

When one of the guys started to protest Mr. Scott gave them a sideways look. "Don't test me boy!"

Without another word he turned on his heels and left. I blinked and stared at Mr. Scott in awe at the way he handled that situation. He looked at me. "What?"

"You just amazed me on how you handled that situation," I said. "It took everything in me not to go over and beat the crap out of them."

He chuckled, "Yeah I hear you. Now let's go and join the party again."

As I went back inside I was pissed once again when someone else and I'm going to assume he was a Prince because of the crown on his head and he was flirting with Trinity. Trinity didn't like it and tried to tell him to fuck off but he was very persistent. I went by Trinity's side and snarled at the Prince, "Do believe she said no and that's my wife you're flirting with!"

"I wasn't flirting with her! I just wanted a dance with her and for her to have dinner with me tomorrow," the Prince said defensively.

"I-" I started to say. Trinity cut me off and gave a mischievous look. I blinked and communicated via mindlink, What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking about how to show this guy that no means no, Trinity thought.

You can use my wolf strength to kick his ass if you want Trinity? Danger suggested.

Oh no, I don't think I'll need it to make my point here, Trinity thought.

I didn't think anything else, I gave a small shrug and let her do whatever she had in mind.

"Okay fine Prince Eric," Trinity said with an annoyed tone of voice. "I'll dance with you. Just give me your hand."

Prince Eric perked up and I really wanted to punch him and break his jaw but I held back because I wanted to see how Trinity was going to handle this. "Really? You'll dance with me?"

Trinity nodded slowly. "Yes."

After I looked over to see that we were standing right in front of the buffet table it clicked and at that moment I knew what Trinity was possibly getting ready to do. So I held myself back and watched the show.

As soon as Trinity took Prince Eric's hand she flipped him over her back and landed him on the buffet table. I doubled over in laughter along with the handful of people who were watching burst into laughter along with me.

"It's about time someone put Prince Homewrecker in his place!" I heard someone say from behind me. I turned and saw the Head Tracker for the warriors of the Royal Family. She was a young lady about my age and she had long black hair and black eyes. She wore an outfit similar to Trinity's but it wasn't as extravagant as Trinity's outfit. Her name was Brandy.

I was still laughing so hard, I couldn't say anything at the moment. I finally composed myself.

"Sad part is that Prince Eric is the Head Trainer for the warriors of the Royal Family," Brandy said, shaking her head in dismay. "Good thing you're training with the King and not him! I think your fighting skills would take a nosedive if you trained with him."

Prince Eric got to his feet and snarled, "Why you little punk! Don't worry, you will change your mind about me, mark my words on that!"

"Oh really?" Trinity scoffed, "First of all I'm already married and Luna of the Steel Armor Pack you jackass! Second, when a girl says no she means NO!"

"Well then I challenge you to a fight!" Prince Eric said, "If I win, you will pay for the suit that you damaged after throwing me into the buffet table! And on top of that you'll have to dance with me twice at the next ball!"

"Excuse me!" I growled, "Trinity's husband is standing right here. She isn't-"

"Don't worry Tyler, I can take this idiot on no problem!" Trinity declared. She turned her attention to Prince Eric. "Alright and if I win you have to stay a hundred feet away from me unless I'm training." She reached out her hand. "Do we have a deal?"

Prince Eric shook Trinity's hand and nodded. "Deal! And we'll fight tomorrow at the same time as this event took place outside in the training area!"

"Alright then, you're on!" Trinity said. She glared at Prince Eric as he turned on his heels and walked off.

I couldn't stop laughing at what happened. Trinity composed herself, "Well that was fun let's hope that incident doesn't repeat itself again because it's going to get rather annoying fending off guys who want to have a dinner date with someone who's already married!"

At this point I was still trying to catch my breath. I was still laughing at what Trinity did to Prince Eric. As I was trying to rein in my laughter my Mom and Dad came up to us laughing their ass's off.

"See? I told you Trinity that you would look absolutely gorgeous with the right outfit!" Mom said, in between her laughter.

The laughter didn't stop until King Mark bellowed, "ENOUGH! If I hear of anyone whistling or catcalling or doing what Prince Eric did again I won't hesitate to call off this party! Are we clear?"

The laughter stopped and there was dead silence in the room. It was so quiet that you could hear a pen dropping!

"I said, are we clear?" King Mark bellowed again.

After that there were people either nodding their heads or saying 'yes your highness' all throughout the room.

King Mark nodded, satisfied with the responses he took his seat on his throne and after he let out a sigh of relief, he commanded, "You may continue with the party."

After that, the party went on without any more problems.

The next day the time for the fight Prince Eric challenged me to rolled around and to tell the truth, I was more excited to fight than nervous. When I saw Prince Eric in the training area I tried to keep a straight face because he looked super nervous when he saw me. I wondered if he heard about me training with my Dad and him barely being able to beat me in a fight. Of course Prince Eric can't pull the 'I can't beat you because I'm old' card.

Now that I have a chance to get a good look at him, he looks like he's about my age. So yeah maybe he has a fair chance at winning this fight as much as I do. But I'm not going to let him win because there's no way I'm ever going to dance with a homewrecker at any party! Nope, it's not happening!

I smiled when a young woman and I remembered her name was Brandy from the party standing in the middle of the training area.

"Alright," Brandy said, "I want a fair fight. The three rules of combat apply as they always do in every fight. And no weapons! You can use your wolf strength if you're a werewolf or you can use your Gate Wielder Being if you're a Gate Wielder. And you can use whatever other magic you have. Just no physical weapons." She looked back and forth between me and Prince Eric. "Are we clear?"

"Crystal!" Prince Eric and I said.

Brandy gave a signal and the fight started. Prince Eric and I circled each other like sharks in the water sizing up their prey. Prince Eric was the first to attack and I managed to just barely miss a punch that was meant to connect with my jaw. I used this as an opening to land a kick to his stomach and he stumbled backward and hissed in pain.

When he recovered he lunged at me and landed a kick to the jaw. That type would normally be considered a knockout move but for me it just made me fall over a little bit. Before I hit the ground I caught myself. I spat blood out of my mouth on the ground and cocked my head to the side. "Did you really think that move would be enough to knock me out?"

I tried not to smile when I saw the shocked look Prince Eric had. I waited for him to regain his composure and I wasn't sure if that was a good idea or not. He managed to land a kick to my back after I landed a couple hits to his jaw and stomach.

The fight dragged on and it seemed like we were evenly matched for a while. I made the winning move by catching Prince Eric off guard by doing an uppercut to his jaw with my right hand and I didn't give him a chance to recover this time when I added two kicks to the stomach. He fell to the ground unconscious and I was declared the winner.

The crowd cheered for me and Brandy ran up to me and gave me a tight bear hug. When she let go she gave me a shy smile. "I knew you were going to win! That was an awesome fight! Especially when you got back to your feet those couple of knockout moves Prince Homewercker did! I mean seriously…"

I tuned out her rambling as I watched Prince Eric being carried away on a stretcher. I smirked. Humph! Serves him right for hitting on a married woman! Asshole!

Brandy must have noticed that I had tuned her rambling out because she tapped me on the shoulder to get my attention. I looked at her. "Huh?"

"I was wondering if you could train me sometime?" Brandy asked.

I blinked. I was unsure of what to say because I've never had anyone ask me to train them before. "Um… Are you sure you want me to train you?"

Brandy nodded. "Well yeah of course I do! Let me guess, you've never trained someone before right?"

I nodded. "Yup."

"Can I do you the honor of being your first student?" Brandy asked with excitement. A little too much excitement for my taste.

I was going to say no but good grief those puppy dog eyes she was giving me left me no choice but to say yes. Brandy hugged me and walked off and after Brandy left Tyler came up to me smiling.

"I never thought you would agree to be someone's teacher!" Tyler said.

"Yeah I know that makes two of us," I said. "And I don't have any idea where to begin with training someone!"

"I can help you with that if you want?" Tyler offered.

"Actually that might not be a bad idea. If you could give me ideas on what to train Brandy on that would be great," I said.

"Of course I'll do anything for my Luna!" Tyler said.

I nodded. Tyler grabbed my hand and we went back to our room and once we got there we started discussing ideas for me to train Brandy. I hope the ideas came up with help because if they don't work Brandy's going to be disappointed and I don't want to let her down.
