Fiona's pov
The day for the twelve elders was here. I woke up with my stomach upsetting me but I was ready. During the week, I have been able to train with Sebastian to control and connect more with Snow and it has been absolutely amazing.
Snow made me feel protected and I loved it. We got closer by the day, but sometimes she goes silent and I don't bother her till she is ready to talk again. Having a wolf has been absolutely amazing and beautiful.
Sebastian and I have also grown stronger, he still has not defined what we were but I knew we had deep feelings for each other and my wolf, Snow, was deeply attracted to him.
I got out of the bathroom, dressed in a simple gown to go out to greet the elders. When I was finishing touches on my dress, I heard a knock.
"Come in" and the door pushed open, Seb walked in looking regal, his aura for some would have been choking but for some strange reason I found it sexy, my wolf Snow was active and she was huffing and puffing inside me.
"That's mine!" I heard her say, I smiled and ignored her as I watched Seb. He drew closer and pulled me into a tight hug and I instantly melted into his arms, inhaling his strong masculine scent.
"How are you?" He asked when we pulled out of the hug
I gave a nervous smile, "I'm fine but scared" I said sincerely.
He looked deep into my eyes, he sighed "We would get through this together. I won't let them take you or your baby away."
I nodded and he placed a kiss on my head, "Get ready and meet me downstairs, Okay? The elders are already in the territory." He said and proceeded to walk out, but before he could open the door, I instantly blurted out the questions that had been disturbing me for the longest time.
"Seb?" I called out, he turned and looked at me with his beautiful eyes.
I swallowed how scared I was but I still went through with it, "what are we?"
I could see his eyes shrink, his facial expression's change but he still maintained his cold expression, "we would talk about that later, for now let's focus on keeping you here"
He walked out before I could say anything else. I felt saddened about it.
"Don't be sad, he is your fated mate" Snow says.
"Seems like you have forgotten that he still has a choice" I told Snow but she did not reply and I knew she was done talking.
I turned and got ready for the elders.

My heart was pounding fast in my chest. The longer I stayed with Fiona the more the mate pull was stronger.
Ever since she got her Wolf, my feelings for her developed. Midnight couldn't wait to claim her as his but I kept calm everytime and controlled myself.
When she asked me about what we were, I froze.
"Mate!" Midnight screamed and I smiled but this was not the right time for this we needed to focus to keep her with us.
When I walked out of my room, Leo tried to reach me with the mind connection.
"Leo?" I answered him
"Your highness, they should be in the pack house in the next five minutes" Leo said.
"I will be there in three minutes." I shut out the mind connection.
"I'm I late?" I heard her voice and my wolf was active again but I breathed in, trying to control him.
"No!" I took her hands and walked through the path that divided the pack house from my main house, it was just a field of flowers. In the next minute Fiona and I walked hand in hand through the field.
We got to the pack house and stood at the entrance, I could feel how nervous Fiona was. She was not by my side because she was not my mate yet but she was far from me.
The cars begin to file in. It was time. The elders came down from the cars and walked towards us with Ryan beside them.
"Welcome, wise elders of the were clan" I bowed and greeted in respect and everyone did the same.
"Alpha Sebastian of the Jupiter Pack, do you welcome us to your lands?" The leader spoke out as it is traditional.
"Yes, your honor." I replied, "please come in" I turned and led the way.
We walked to the throne room, I held Fiona's hands as we walked there and I could see how furious Ryan was.
We got to the throne room and I walked to the throne and sat down. When I sat down everyone else sat down.
"We can start but first let's get you some refreshments."
The maids filed out with light snacks and drinks, placing them on each table. I saw the way Ryan was staring at Fiona. I looked at Fiona , where she sat. She looked very, very stressed, this trial would not be easy but I would do anything for her.

Ryan has gone to fight for the custody of his child and I was boiling in rage. Fiona has to have everything.
She had a strong mate, a very powerful wolf and as if that was not enough she had my mate fight over her.
I was seething with jealousy and I couldn't stand it. Ryan asked to come with him for the trials, I declined because I had other plans.
"Your highness, everything is ready" Victor says and I pull my hood up to disguise myself. People must not know I left the pack.
"I will come back as soon as I Keep things in control here" I gave my orders and Victor nodded.
Then I passed through the secret entrance I used to sneak in the rouge wolves that attacked Fiona.
"I'm coming for you Fiona. Watch your back"
