After just moving into the Calaveras’ castle, due to her engagement to the prince, Catalina was unfamiliar with the place. Being led around by random men made her feel extremely awkward and uncomfortable. After her past experiences with certain.. people, the girl hardly felt comfortable in her own skin if there was a man around.

She missed Rocky, a gift from her parents after her multiple previous bodyguards had ‘let her down’. The protective tiger would’ve made her feel much more safe in the presence of multiple guys, some much older than her. But the animal was unable to travel with her without special accommodations.

She felt gazes burning holes through her chest and thighs. Her hands became clammy as she prayed to every god she believed in that no man would lay their grubby hands on her again. The images flashed in her mind as she started to panic. Her wrists being grabbed, being pushed against the wall, screaming and begging for help — every memory more vivid and painful than the next.
