JAMES: I leave his office and head back to my room on the way, I link Wyatt. *“I have information you will want to know, but we have to keep it to ourselves.” “Meet me at my room.” “On my way.”* I close the link and enter my room. I am getting dressed for the party, there is a knock on my door. “Come.” I call out. “What’s the big news, that we have to keep hush-hush.” Wyatt asked as he entered and closed the door behind him. “Get ready for a bomb shell.” I say to him. “What?” “Our sisters are fated mates to the youngest prince and his best friend, Dutch.” I tell him, He lets out a long whistle. “No shit?” He exclaims “No shit.” “How did you find that out?” “Dad just told me, I went to his office to check up on the whole Jessie issue, and he dropped that bomb on me.” I tell him. “Wow,” he says, shaking his head, and I just nod mine. “What did he say about the whole Jessie issue, though?” “He says he has people on it, and now it’s a wait-and-watch game. But if Kes is the prince’s fated mate, he will call for blood if anything happens to her.” I tell him. “But dad says that if we notice anything, we are to link Darius, and to stay out of it.” I tell him. He just shakes his head, and I nod mine. We leave to go down to the party.

KESKA: I am up at about 5:30-6:00, I put on a smocked, topped sun dress, nothing fancy, but pretty enough, in a paisley pattern done in shades of green and some soft browns. I will, after all, be helping in the kitchen, so Sarah doesn’t have to go it alone, with the omegas. Mackie is dressed similarly to me in a sundress, again, nothing too dressy, we leave the fancy stuff to the 18 and older crowd. We head downstairs and right into the kitchen to start helping, since we already had the chart, it was just a matter of getting the right size hot plates and warmers in the right spot to fit the tables, for the buffet. As I was going back and forth, I noticed one of the princes standing by the door between the kitchen and the Marquee, “Mackie, that’s one of the princes.” I whisper to her, nodding my head in his direction. We turn slightly and see his friend has joined him. \[Heads up, Keska, Kirk, and Rodney are close, and I smell Jessie on them.\] Corla tells me. \[I understand, but I still have to do my duty.\] I tell her. I make my way back towards the kitchen to grab a smaller hot plate to switch it out with one that was put in the wrong place. But I don’t make it to the kitchen, in between, I am grabbed from behind, and a rag is put over my mouth and nose. Then everything goes dark, I vaguely feel myself being lifted, and then nothing.

JESSIE: I went up to my room to shower after handing the keys off to Rodney. I get a link from them, and they have her and are taking her to the cabin. YES!! *“Make sure to put the silver cuffs on her and get Tara and that Chris guy to stay and keep an eye on her.” “Aren’t the silver cuffs a bit much? She doesn’t have a wolf yet.” “It will help to keep her weak and not cause problems. You two need to come back immediately after getting her to the cabin so you won’t be missed.”* I linked Kirk. Then, continue to get ready for the party. I have an ocean blue bodycon dress with beading and a low draped back, it sets my hair and eyes off. I do an ombré blue eye shadow, black mascara, and a medium coral lip gloss. Damn I look hot.

MACKIE: I am waiting for Kes to come back with the hot plate. She should have been back, so I headed to the kitchen to look for her. I get stopped by the prince and his friend. “Hello, pretty lady.” The prince’s friend says. “Hello.” “My friend and I were wondering if you and your friend would join us for dinner tonight.” “I will ask her, but I have to find her first.” I said, “What do you mean? Is she missing?” the prince asked. “I don’t know, she went to get something from the kitchen and has not come back yet, but she also may just be caught up with helping with the food or something, she’s like that sometimes.” I tell him. “Please go check, we will wait here for you.” He says. I continue my way into the kitchen. I am looking around and don’t see Kes anywhere, so I go to Sarah. “Have you seen Kes? She was coming to get that smaller hot plate.” I say as I point to the plate. “No, dear, I have not seen her since the two of you first came in.” she tells me. “Shit!” I swear under my breath. I try to link her. *“Keska, where are you?”* I get no response. I link Nana. *“Nana, Kes is missing, and the prince and his friend want us to have dinner with them.” “I don’t know what to do.”* I sent to her. *“Where are you, Mackie?” “In the kitchen.” “I will be there in a couple of minutes.” “Thank you.”* I close the link. Grab the hot plate and wait for Nana.

LILLY: After getting the link from Mackie, I take Stephen with me as I head to the kitchen. I see her standing holding a hot plate as if her life depended on it. I would have chuckled if the situation weren’t as dire as it was. If the crown prince wants to have dinner with you, you don’t say no! “Mackie, go put the plate out.” I tell her. “But what do I tell them? They are waiting, and she isn’t here.” She says worriedly. “I will come with you and will help defuse the situation.” I tell her. We start walking to the door between the kitchen and the marquee. As soon as we step through the door, I am hit by the scent of the royal pack. “Prince Trever, Gamma Dutch, how nice to see you both again.” I say to them. “Lilly, it is nice to see you as well.” Trever says as he steps in to give me a hug. “Lilly.” Dutch reaches his hand out to shake mine. And they both nod to Stephen. “I hear you want to have dinner with my grand pup, and Mackinze here.” I say to them. “Yes, we would consider it an honor to have them join us.” Trever says. I turn to Mackie, “Go finish.” I tell her. She just nods and continues into the marquee. “Gentlemen, please come with me.” I say to them.
