"I.. I feel uncomfortable..." I whisper as my body heats up and a wave of dizziness washes over me.
I know this feeling all too well.
I'm going into heat again.
Why?!
Why the hell did you have to come now?!
The universe really loves to fuck with me.
"Are you alright Princess?" My maid -Amanda- asks gently as she supports my weak body.
God, why did this have to happen to me?
If I had just obeyed my mother and acted as though I didn't exist I would have never become what I am now.
"B-Bring me to my room." I say with difficulty as I lean against her. I don't have a lot of strength in my legs and my body is on fire.
This is bad.
If I can't find my mate soon I might be unable to control myself.
'It's alright Leonaria. You're a princess you can't be seen in such a pathetic situation. You have a reputation to uphold.' I tell myself trying to act as if nothing is wrong as Amanda walks me to my room.
"Thank you." I say motioning her to leave the room with a wave of my hand as I stumble towards my huge bed.
"Your Highness, what should I tell His Majesty when he wonders why you were absent from today's meeting?" Amanda asks worriedly.
"Amy. Don't worry. Just tell him that I was chatting with Sofia. He'll come ask me himself before long so don't worry too much. By them I'll have long delt with my problem." I say gently as I look at her.
"Yes, Your Highness." She says curtsying before running out of the room not forgetting to lock the door on her way out.
I immediately get up and open a hidden compartment in the floor. I pull out a bunch of weirdly shaped devices that any girl could recognize at a glance. I grab a long rubby rod and press a button making it vibrate before gently pressing the tip between my legs under my dress.
I use one hand to skillfully remove my clothes as I gently massage my most sensitive area with the vibrating toy. I moan in pleasure as I push the long toy inside of me. I gently push in and out speeding up with every thrust.
After a few minutes I feel myself reach my climax as white cum drips onto the floor from between my legs.
I can feel the heat cool down a little bit so I continue to pleasure myself for hours using the different toys. When I finally feel my body cool down to normal I collapse onto the bed. I don't forget to hide my toys before climbing back in bed wearing a short silk nightgown.

"It's been 8 years and I still haven't found her." I say to my closest aide and best friend as I punch the wall in my bedroom.
"It's okay dude. You just have to start traveling to other kingdoms. I'm sure she's just in another part of the world." Nick says comfortingly as he looks at me sympathetically.
"But I can't just start visiting other kingdoms without a good excuse." I say with a frown.
"No problem. The neighboring kingdom -The Fae Kingdom- is hosting a ball in 3 days to celebrate the first princess and third princes birthday. You were invited but I wasn't sure if you would go so I didn't answer them." Nick says with a sly smile.
"So I just have to go to this ball and build a relationship with some other families. Then I can use the excuse that I want to deepen our friendship through visiting each other. That way I can go to the other kingdoms easily." I say understanding what he means. We've been together since we were kids so we naturally have a deep connection.
"I'll inform them of your participation." Nick says before walking out to call the other party.

Leonaria POV.
The next morning I wake up to a knock on my door.
"Come in." I yell and I'm surprised to see my father walk in.
"How are you feeling Aria?" He asks sitting on the edge of my bed.
"I'm fine. It's just that the heat is getting worse by the day.". I say hugging my knees sadly.
"I'm sure you'll find him soon. I'm hosting a banquet for you and Alex the day after tomorrow. There will be hundreds of nobles and royals present. I'm sure you'll be able to scent him on one of the guests even if he isn't among them." He comforts gently as he strokes my hair.
"Hey Daddy?" I say hesitantly.
"What is it baby?" He asks gently.
"Do you think I should have listened to Mommy? If I had obeyed her I wouldn't be suffering so much." I ask softly not daring to look him in the eye.
"It doesn't matter what I think. You made your choice and now you have to deal with the aftermath. All things come at a price. You're just paying for your past choices. I don't blame you. I'm sure your mother feels the same." He says. This is why I like talking to my dad. He's always honest with me.
"Daddy I love you." I say honestly with a bright smile.
"I love you too Leonaria." He says gently rubbing the top of my head.
"I feel better now." I say with planting a wet kiss on my father's cheek.
"I'll leave you alone. Try to find a dress for your birthday. Who knows, you may even meet your mate or your future in-laws that day." He says teasingly before walking out of the room.
I slowly get out of bed and change into a light purple dress that reaches my knees. I already know what I'm going to wear that day. I had a dress made a few weeks ago in preparation for my 21st birthday.
I take out my phone and take a few selfies to post on social media. I like to post whenever I'm not busy. I am a princess so it's not like I can just hide in the castle and never show my face to the public. Almost the entire kingdom follows me. The common people love to see the life of the rich and powerful so it makes sense. I am the only royal who has an online presence so this is the only way they can see the daily life of a princess.
When I'm done with my post I walk out of my room and Amanda immediately follows me quietly, making sure to always stay a step behind me.

Rain POV
When I get out of bed I don't bother to get dressed and immediately call Nick to my room.
"Can't you get off your royal ass and walk across the hall to my room?" Nick says rolling his eyes as he walks in the room still wearing his pajamas and slippers.
"Tell me about the kingdom thats hosting the ball in 2 days." I say rolling my eyes as I prop my feet on the coffee table.
"Sure." He says with a sigh of annoyance as he pulls out his phone. "The Fae Kingdom is populated by mostly Fae people like fairies, elves, nymphs, etc. They have 1 princess and 3 princes. The eldest prince relinquished his right to the throne at a young age and now works below his father the king as a member of the military. I hear he's extrealy strong and he has a short temper he's known for being protective of his sister. The first prince and the second prince are both elves. The second prince is the named crown prince and he has the support of the people. Much like his older brother he is extremely protective of his sister. He's known for being gentle but he can get unreasonable when it comes to his sister. The third prince and the first princess are twins and this banquet is being held for their 21st birthday. The third prince is known for being timid and he only listens to his sister. I hear he's also really protective of her. The kid is a hybrid elf and fairy explaining his timid nature. I really have to respect this girl. She has her brothers wrapped around her finger and it isn't just her brothers. The king is know for being a slave to his daughter. He does anything she asks and he doesn't dare to go against her. When she isn't with him however he's ruthless. The man is completely two-faced. I hear he's a pure blooded angel but no one knows for sure. The princess is the most interesting. She never goes out in public but she posts on social media in her free time. The girl looks like a goddess. Even in a kingdom of Fae she's considered a great beauty. Despite the fact that she seems like she would have the most easily excessable information with her extream popularity and media presence surprisingly I could hardly find anything. All I know is that she has the final say in the family and I only know that from checking her father and brothers information. The most I can find on her is her name and face. Her name is Leonaria Noel Faerie. I don't even have a guess as to what she is." He explains looking at the information. He reveals a helpless expression when he sees what he has about the princess.
"Show me her account." I say curiously.
"This is it. Her username is Aria." Nick says sending me a link. I pick up my phone and open the page. I'm surprised by her appearance.
The captions that say things like: On my way to another meeting. Or: Time for yet another party. Have pictures of her in light colored formal dresses with her hair meticulously tied up.
On the other hand the ones that say things such as: Time to party with my brothers. Or: Ready to ask Daddy for a new tiara. Have pictures of her with peircings in her nose and ears while her hair is carelessly brushed in a side part. Her clothes are all dark colored and her nails are black. She sometimes wears fingerless gloves and in one picture you can see that she's wearing a black bikini and a peircing on her bellybutton can be seen. She has a large tattoo of a spider on her side and a small bat on her ankle.
She easily shows two different sides of herself. One is her professional princess side and the other is her rebellious teenager side. As I'm looking at her most recent post I notice a new post and I open the photo. For the first time I really look at her face. She's gorgeous. Her long black hair is still tangled as if she just woke up and her face is bare of makeup. What really catches my attention is her eyes. She has the eyes of someone in pain. She looks tired. It's as if she wants others to see her suffering. For some reason I feel my heart tighten when I see the look in her eyes that's similar to my own. She looks like someone who's suffered too much pain. She has the eyes of someone on the verge of collapse.
When I can finally bring myself to look away from her eyes I notice the background of the photo. Her room is a mess and clothes are scattered everywhere much like her other photos but what really catches my attention is the scratch marks on the wall and the torn bedsheet. It isn't obvious and most people who saw them wouldn't think much of it but I immediately realize that these are signs of a wolf in heat. As if to confirm my guess I notice a pair of panties tossed under the bed that are torn on both sides. There's a pink piece of plastic peeking out from under her nightstand and I know exactly what it is even without having seen the whole thing. I can see the button and charging port. If I hadn't seen the signs of heat in her room I would think it was just a normal paice of plastic but I'm almost certain it's a vibrator. This girl is definitely a wolf or at least part wolf. I now understand why Nick couldn't find anything. They were careful with hiding her info because it would be easy to realize what she is with enough information. That also probably the reason they're inviting other royals and nobles to her birthday banquet. It's probably so she can hopefully scent her mate.
What I don't understand is why they want to hide what she is. It's common knowledge that the late queen was a hybrid from my Lycan Kingdom meaning that she was at least part wolf. The Fae people have nothing against wolves so I can't think of a reason she would hide who she is. Also if she wants to keep this a secret then the banquet is a bad idea. There will be wolves and cats among the guests who can smell what she is. Just appearing at the party will expose her secret.
I can't understand this strange girl.

Leonaria POV
The day of the party.
When I open my eyes in the morning I see a group of maids standing in my room. Amanda is among them.
"What's going on Amy?" I ask sitting up still half asleep.
"We're here to help you get ready for the banquet later." Amanda answers respectfully.
"It's fine you can leave. I want to do it myself today." I say shaking my head as I get out of my bed.
"But it was an order from His Highness Alexander." Amanda says hesitantly.
"Then you can help me with my hair." I say walking into my closet. I pull out a long black princess dress the skirt is covered with layers of fabric with ripped fishnets on top. The top of the dress has a sweetheart neckline and no sleeves. There are ruby's along the top of the dress and diamonds in the shape of stars placed seemingly at random. I put on ripped tights and one fingerless glove on my right hand. I them put in all my peircings with little sider earrings. I put on a spiked choker that looks like a dog collar with a 'tag' in the shape of a bat hanging on my neck. I put on a pair of black heeled boots before walking out of the closet and sitting in front of my mirror. I put on purple eyeshadow and winged eyeliner with a black lip. When I'm done with my makeup Amanda is almost finished with my hair.
She put the top layer of my hair up in a side ponytail so the rest lays sa usual flowing down my back. She gently places a black tiara on my head and I look at my appearance in the mirror. I look like a blend of my true self and the princess my father wants me to pretend to be. He loves me for who I am but he always says that I have to act like a proper princess during my royal duties.
I pull out my phone and pose for a selfie before starting a post on my social media account. I hesitate when I'm writing the caption and I delete the selfie before starting the video recording function.
"Hello world! Today is my 21st birthday and I'm about to go to the banquet. Today I have decided to go against the wishes of father who I always say has a stick up his royal ass. I don't really mean that it's just joking among family but that being said he really is a buzzkill. As you can see I look more like the daughter of a mafia boss than the princess of the Fae people. anyway I'm ready to get scolded for this later but Daddy can't do anything to stop me today." I say as I look at the camera with a smile. When I've finished recording I post the video on my account before out of the room towards the ballroom.
This may be called a banquet but it's more of a stage for royals and nobles to show off their vast knowledge. The women compete over who has the best jewelry and bags while the men act as though they know everything while subtly flaunting their money and power.
I don't really belong to either group. I don't like to show off and it would be awkward to join the conversations of those that just want to feel superior. When I reach the door to the ballroom I motion to the guards standing at the sides letting them know I'm ready to enter so they can announce me.
"Princess Leonaria Noel Faerie!" Announces one of the two men as they push open the huge doors. I calmly walk inside under the stunned gazes of the crowd. I slowly walk towards the thrones at the front of the room where the rest of my family is sitting. There is one empty seat reserved for me next to my twin brother. There is an empty throne next to my father where my mother used to sit but now all that occupies the seat is her crown just waiting for the next queen to claim it. I take my place on my throne elegantly not the least bit bothered by the gazes of the crowd. I can faintly smell my mate among them but I keep calm on the serface. I'm waiting for the time to receive gifts so I can put a face to the scent.
The party is long and boring but I know that now that I'm here the guests will soon come to congratulate me and Alex so I wait patiently chatting with my brother in the meantime.
"Alex you haven't come to visit me in days. I missed you." I say looking at my twin brother.
"I was afraid you wouldn't want to see me." He says shyly.
"I always want to see you." I say with a smile.
"You're getting weird looks from the guests." Alex whispers softly but I know that every shifter in the room can easily hear him.
"Kids shouldn't worry about such things." I say pinching his cheek.
"Sister that hurts." He whines pitifully.
"Now you know to be scared." I say teasingly as I let go of his face and gently rub the top of his head.
"I just don't know why they're looking at you like your a strange creature." He says puffing up his cheeks in annoyance.
"Did you forget what you're sister is? It's only natural that they would stare." My father says.
"Daddy it's rude to eavesdrop." I scold.
"Sorry Baby." He says apologetically further solidifying his image as a slave to his daughter.
"What would you people do without me." I mumble knowing that almost everyone can hear us. Soon the first person walks over to offer his congratulations and hands over a gift to each of us.
This continues to happen with all the guests until there are only a few left. At this moment a man walks over with 2 gift boxes. As he gets closer my mates scent intensifies. He's extrealy handsome and my wolf is howling for joy in my head. I pretend to be calm as I receive his gift and his congratulations. When he passes over the gift I subtly slip a note into his sleeve.

Rain POV
When I heard the announcement saying Princess Leonaria was here I couldn't help but turn to look as she entered the room. My eyes lit up with excitement when I realized she was my mate. I couldn't help but study her body that's hidden under the thick dress. She looks like herself. I'm glad our first meeting isn't while she's pretending to be someone shes not.
When I hear her conversation with her brother and her fathers comment I take a deep breath of her scent and my eyes widen in shock when i notice what she is.
She's a hybrid just as I expected but her scent makes me freeze in shock. I can't tell what she is completely but what I do recognize makes me feel a slight fear of her.
Wolf, Panther, nine-tailed fox, Fairy, Dark pixie, Dark elf, white Dragon, Demon Lord of Sloth, Mermaid, and more. I can confidently say that she's a mix of at least half the species on our planet.
When I finally snap out of my daze there's only one other person who hasn't gone to give a gift so i hurriedly walk over and hand the gifts over. My hand gently brushes against hers as I hand her the box and I feel a piece of paper slide into my sleeve. She looks up at me with a gentle gaze before I walk away politely.
