teeth.
    "You are completely clueless to the power you hold. I suppose that explains why you are so worthy of it."
    "Huh?" I said.
    "Never mind my verbal reverie. We should start preparing you for the wedding." She crooned, placing down the file.
    "Wedding? I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you are talking about." She stared at me confused.
    "The formal wedding of your mother and Dr. Murphy." She explained. I laughed again.
    "Why would they have another wedding? They wedded in Vegas just a few days ago." She shook her head.
    "They are not truly bonded until they receive blessing from the King. Now, we must prepare you for the Islands. We wouldn't want your "ignorance" to annoy the King." She explained.
    "Wait… Excuse me for a moment please." I said angrily. I hurried down the steps into the living room where Prince Alexander sat with Randy and my Mother.
    "Alright, I've had just about enough of all this secrecy. I want to know what's going on, and I want to know now!" I said, snatching the charm off my neck and tossing it on the coffee table.
    "Leigha! How dare you!" Randy chided.
    "Calm yourself Dr. Murphy. She is well within her right to be a little disturbed by all of this." The Prince defended. Randy drew in a deep breath and sat back down beside my Mother.
    "Leigha my sweet, you'll have calm down if you'd like us to explain ourselves." He warned.
    "How can I calm myself? This place is filled with secrets, monsters, and scandals! How can you ask me to be calm in this situation? What was that thing that attacked me? It wasn't a man! I know it wasn't!" I screamed.
    "She's having an anxiety attack." My mother spoke.
    "Leigha dear, you need to calm down. Breathe sweet heart, breathe." She chanted.
    "I can't! Why won't anyone tell me what's going on?" I cried.
    I can't stand this! I can't stay here." I yelled, running for the door.
    "Leigha wait!" Randy yelled but I ignored his pleading.
    I grabbed my coat, and the car keys off the table. As I opened the garage door, the chocolate eyes of my Prince were suddenly a golden brown. He stood before me, and I tried to comprehend how he could have gotten into the garage so swiftly.
    "Leigha." He crooned, and the sweet air from his breath made me dizzy. I fainted in his arms.
    The muffled sounds of arguing whispers finally awoke me from my slumber.
    "This is too much for her. Too soon. We should wait." Mina argued.
    "How can I wait when she stands before me? Do you have any idea how long I've waited for her?" The Prince was furious.
    "You'll drive her away. Her mind is strong, but too much, too fast will make her unstable."
    "Ha! I find that difficult to believe. You were begging for this life once you became aware of it." He countered.
    "It is not my place to argue your decision but, my opinion of it still stands." I groaned and turned to my side. Their intense conversing was making my headache even worse.
    "Leigha? Leigha my love, are you alright?" He asked.
    "Give her a moment will you?" Mina scolded.
    "Leigha dear, your mother is right here with us. Can you open your eyes?"
    Slowly, I opened my eyes to three faces. I scowled at them.
    "What—What happened to me?" I grumbled, trying to position myself up on the bed. The Prince reached out to adjust my pillows, but Mina had already beaten him to them. He scowled at her. I looked up at the Prince and stared at his chocolate brown eyes.
    "Your eyes, they were different earlier." He frowned, turning away from me.
    "Leigha sweet heart, drink this." My mother ordered, handing me the glass of water.
"I think that the men should leave the women to tend to Leigha." Mina suggested. She placed her cool hand over my forehead, brushing away the wet strands and I sighed.
"I think that's a good idea. We'll go get her something to eat." Randy suggested. He placed a hand over the Prince's shoulder and he followed behind him.
    "I won't be far." The Prince said, meeting my gaze.
    "She's aware of that. Now go." Mina ordered. He frowned at her,
