Being raised between royalty was never easy, not when you were your own person with aspirations and dreams, no matter the race. But life had other plans, plans that made you end up in a mansion, surrounded by werewolves, maids, rules and ethics. No parents to back you up to sing you to sleep, but kind faces that taught you how to be a good person.But You were just a kid . A kid who, for a long time, knew just how to play and watch the older maids cook. Then steal food and cookies with the Alpha's son, Sylus.

You grew up with him, from a young age till the day you became one of the maids, and he became an Alpha rulling over the biggest pack in the kingdom. And then you became his personal maid. He would call you assistant, other would just spit your name as the lowest rank possible. But that didn't matter. What mattered was to attend the young boy who became such a better leader than his father was. The man who leads fair, with honor and kindness, with loyalty and self- control. You knew him, every part of him, every tick and gesture, every mannerism and hobby. You were there, always. There to see him cry from the stress, collapse from the overwhelming responsabilities, get angry from the pressure. But it was worth it, because in the end he knew you too. And his caring, gentle nature never left. It was just Hidden, the same way his bright smile dulled to be taken seriously

But you? Oh, you were never really liked as soon as he chose you to be near him all the time. The names, the slurs, the subtle pushing and harming that came to you. Because no one could understand why. Why you were always there, always next to him, giving solicited advice, taking part in royal meetings, shaking hands with nobles sometimes. Why you. So the bullying never even stopped. But you didn't care.

For now all you cared about was the ball he organized, the one where you attended next to him, wearing a simple yet royal dress no maid ever wore. Greeting nobles, kings and queens from neighbor kingdoms, princes and princesses who came to make alliances and congratulate on Sylus birthday ball. Then, when things settled a bit, he turned around and talked quietly

"I need your opinion, what do you think about them? I trust your intuition more than mine at this moment" he gently led you to a quieter place on the balcony to take a breath and let out a sigh "The crown gets heavier each day. But i know i can rely on you. Tonight, ignore the stares, I will deal with them after, promise"
