the Queen and Her pet

-Contessa P.O.V.- “Where have you been?” My mother asks me as she walked into my bedroom without so much as a knock. I roll my eyes at her question, as she is always in my business. I hate it. “I haven’t been anywhere.” I, tell her in a short tone, as all I want her to do is to leave me. “Contessa, you need to drop this ugly attitude. How are you ever going to find a male to take you when you are so unladylike? Your 21st birthday is coming up, so get up. We have a party to plan.” My mother demands of me as she walks out of my room. She makes sure to slam the door behind her. I groan as I pull the pillow over my face. Living in my world means that you have to be perfect 24/7, and it is nothing but suffocating. I am not perfect, nor do I want to pretend to be. I like long walks in the rain and running on the sandy beach. Which is something that my mother hates. She wants me to be polished and pristine like her. ‘If I want to be Queen one day then I have to stop my childish behavior’. My mother's exact words. We just never see eye to eye. I may love my family, despite all the rules, and the fairy realm, but I have always felt like there is something more for me. So I decided to travel to other realms to see what is out there. But every time I had to travel, I used my invisibility crown. The invisibility crown is given to the royal fairies so we can hide ourselves when our realm is discovered or under attack. How cowardly? Our people are supposed to rely on us, but instead we are hiding behind some damn crowns. When I am Queen, things around here are going to change for the better. Although we are forbidden to go to other realms, I just can't help myself. I can never stay away from him too long. I can hardly sleep because I am always dreaming about that big, strong, hunk of a wolf. That long dark hair and those deep chocolate-slanted eyes of his are going to be the death of me. I sit and watch him while he patrols. He is always sniffing around where I am sitting, watching him. Ever since the first time I laid eyes on him, I knew he was special… -Ryan P.O.V.- “Aye! Ryan! It is time for you to patrol. Get out there.” My commander yells at me from where I am sitting. I just give him a nod before picking up my plate as I head over to the kitchen. I drop my plate off in the sink before giving one of the omegas a little hug. She smiles at me before she waves me off. She is the only one in this pack that I consider a friend. She treats me as if I am more than dirt. As I head off to my post, I hope that I get to smell that cotton candy smell. One night while I was patroling, my wolf picked up on this cotton candy smell but nothing was there. I tried to smell around the area to see if I could track it..but I couldn’t. The smell is so addicting. I have a love for cotton candy ever since I tried it at a carnival once. Since then, I have been obsessed. I always imagined my mate would smell like cotton candy and taste just as sweet. It is just wistful thinking on my part though. Not one she-wolf has ever caught my eye. I am almost 21 years old and still have no mate or someone to love. I try to envision who or what possesses that sweet smell. I see a dark-haired beauty with pouty lips, a big full breast, and a nice round ass. Oh well, people like me always get the short end of the stick. I am convinced my happily ever will never come.
