2. Chapter 1

Chapter One

Eadlyn's POV.

I pace across the room wringing my hands. I chew my bottom lip, a nervous habit of mine.

"Eadlyn! Calm down otherwise I'll have to punch you!" Ahren complains. I roll my eyes in his direction

"You're not the one having 35 men coming to compete over your heart and crown! What if they don't like me? What if they hate me? What if they just use me?" I ask still pacing. I hear Ahren sigh. He comes over and takes my hands. I stop in front of him.

"You're right I have it great. Eadlyn if they don't like you then they'd have o be mentally retarded, because you're the sweetest person on this earth when you want to be. They could never hate you!" He exclaims. I nod my head. He smiles. I pull my hands away before walking out of the room. I run through the halls until I get to the gardens. I rush through the pathways until I reach a decent tree. I quickly throw aside my heels before grabbing a branch and hoisting myself up. I climb the tree until I can't go any higher. I sit down on the branch and sigh. How could anyone like me? I lean my head against the trunk and let a tear slip. I hear someone walking below the tree. I look down and see mom and dad.

"Maxon! She's 19! She deserves to know about why she has a scar behind her left ear! And why her scalp has a long scar too!" Mom argues. I furrow my brow. What?

"America! She'll be terrified if she knew. We haven't received a message since she was 17 and her selection starts today! The men will be here as of tonight!" dad exclaims. Messages?

"Speaking which we should be going and getting ready." Mom says glancing at her watch. I sigh. I need to avoid all the men. I sigh. As soon as mom and dad are out of sight I climb down. I search for my heels but don't see them. I shrug and walk back to the palace. I quickly ascend the stairs to my room.

Ahren's POV.

I stand attentively waiting for the boys to arrive. I can't believe Eadlyn is going to be getting married soon. I'm only seven minutes younger! The doors open. I look around and see mom rushing in trying to seem on time to our new guests. Dad quickly rounds the corner after her. They come and stand next to me just as the boys enter. They all go and line up in a line.

"Welcome to the palace! For the next few weeks you will be staying here! Princess Eadlyn will meet all of you tomorrow but for the mean time you may chat with our three sons Ahren, Kaden, and Osten until dinner." Dad announces before leaving with mom. I nod.

"Listen up. I am Ahren and my brothers Kaden, and Ost-"I am cut off by the sound of pounding feet.

"Are here!" Kaden announces rushing to my side. Osten trails behind him silently

"This is Kaden. He's 17. This is Osten he's 12" I explain. The men all murmur and nod.

"Well let's go to the couches and there we can talk." Osten speaks up before walking to the lounge. I nod. Once we're in the lounge I sit next to Osten and Kaden on either side. The boys mill around anxiously.

Kaden's POV.

"Osten!" I whisper at dinner. "Do you think Eadlyn's actually going to like any of these men?" I ask as a take another bite.

"Kaden! I told you she won't. She's not going to go through with this." Osten whispers. I nod trying to swallow my fear of losing my big sister. I look around the room searching for anyone of them with potential. I see a few. I frown. She's only 19. Osten grips my hand under the table and squeezes it. I nod at him. It'll be alright. You'll never lose her. I see a glimpse of brown hair pulled into a tight bun. I smile at Kristen. She grins a little before serving the men. After dinner I sit in my room reading when Kristen comes in.

"Hey." She sighs

"Hey." I grin smiling at her. She grins. I stand up and wrap her in a tight hug.

"I'm alright." She says into my chest. I nod.

"I missed you though." I whisper kissing her forehead.

"I have to go but I'll see you later." She says stepping away. I follow her out of the room.

"Bye." I call as she races down the hall. I sigh and then go back into my room.
