Helia pov

We left the palace and we off to the town. Flora's family wasn't like an expected, at all. Well maybe her parents but the rest. No. Her uncles and parents are the only ones who support Flora decision besides me and the guys. We arrive into town and the streets were crowed.

"Ok guys, this is Linphea during the day meaning it's the busiest time of the day. So be careful where you step and don't get lost." Flora said taking my hand as we walked down the street.

It was nice listening to Flora tell me all about Linphea. It honestly reminded me that Flora does love me and it brought down my jealousy. Then this guys comes in, takes Flora's hands and starts dancing with her before I could react. She screams playfully as she dances with him. He dips her and spin her back to me. She was laughing as the man kisses her cheek.

"You haven't lost your edge sweetheart." The blonde hair, green hair, man said.

"Always a pleasure Al. Always a pleasure." She said as the man.

"Who was that?" I asked trying to keep the anger out of my voice.

"Al, he was my old dancing partner. Always had a passion for the music. Don't worry, he has a girlfriend." She reassured me. I place a tight grip on her waist keeping her close.

"Alright." I mumbled softly kissing her forehead.

"Guys we have to go to the mall." Stella said.

"I want to see tech here." Techna said.

"There's a music store here too?" Musa asked.

"Guards!" Flora yelled.

"Yes princess." said 6 muscular guys said.

"You will be guides for my friends. Take them where ever they please. Guys meet back at the palace in 3 hours. Have fun." Flora said pulling me away from the group.

"Those are your guards."

"Yeah. But I only use them for training"

"Why do you train?"

"Well I..."

"Flora where are you?" A man called out.

"Over here Delgato." She answered.

"My princess your parents ordered me to watch over you for the day." Delgato said. He is a African-American with black hair and a mixture of red and yellow eyes.

"You know that I don't need protecting. Besides I have my own personal body-guard right here. And he's very handsome." She said snuggling closer to me.

"I have my orders princess." He insisted.

"Here, that's 20 bucks. Go to the café across the street. I'll text you if we leave." She said handing him the 20.

"Very well my dear." He said bowing to her.

"Come on, we going to the café over here." She pointed down the street as we walked.

"You were saying about the guards." I said as we walk in the café.

"Hey guys looks who here." Someone screamed.

"Hey guys, What's up?" Flora said as the same 3 guys from the store came up to us.

"Nothing much doll. Come on buy you guys drinks." They said pulling us to a booth.

"So who the guy." One guy said.

"This is Helia, my amazing boyfriend."

"So this is the dude that stole your heart!" A tall guys screamed.

"Can't steal from the willing." Flora smirked.

"Finally! We've been begging Flo to meet ya. Flora is the best. Your lucky man to have her." Another guys said.

"Trey your embarrassing me!" Flora screeched hiding in my arm.

"It's my job. I'm Trey and my brother Tsubasa."

"Nice to met you." Tsubasa said putting his hand out.

"Nice to meet you too. So how long have you know Flora." I asked shaking his hand,

"For about 8 maybe 9 years. With her I honestly lost count." Trey said laughing.

"You two coming to my princess ball or not?" Flora asked sipping her coffee.

"Of course. This is the biggest event of the year." Tsubasa said.

"Can you guys look after my sisters?""

"After what happened last year, no brainer. You can count on us." Trey said.

"Alright see you guys later." Flora said waving goodbye.

"Bye." Both brother said leaving the café.

"So what were you saying before Helia."

"I asked you why you trained at a young age."

"It started on Legacy Day. I was only 6 while my sisters were about 7 maybe I don't remember. It was my day to pick my destiny. Everyone in my family wanted me to be a fairy. I wanted something different. I wanted to be different. Everyone told me I had to be like my sisters, and my mother, and my aunts. We went to the Grand Jury to ask for my destiny. I walk up the stairs to them and they asked me what I wanted to do with my life. I told them that I wanted to be like my mom, a fairy. I also told them that I wanted to be like dad, a panther. The Jury thought it over and asked me if this was what I wanted. I told yes. One of the Jury members announced my decision aloud to my family and my aunts freaked. They were yelling at my parents, the Jury, me. It was hectic. My uncle 4 told everyone to stop. He said the ceremony wasn't going to start until I gave him a hug. I smiled as I ran down the stairs and jumped in his arms. All of my other uncles came to us and cuddled me. My dad had tears in his eyes. I asked him what was wrong, and he told me he was crying because he was happy. He kissed my cheek and thanked me. Now he finally had a panther to take his place when he died. Then the ceremony went on and at the party my aunt said out loud "What man could love her like that. She'll regret it sooner or later." She said that to my sisters. That's why they want every guy I date. To prove her right. It happened at my sister's ball last years. I came with a guy I thought loved me. He went to get me some water. I look to see him kissing Rose, then he went to kiss Lilly. I was so embarrassed. My aunt had a smirk the whole time. I left the ball and went to Trey's for the night. I just cried all night in his and Tsubasa arms. That's why I honestly think you'll do the same. To help myself with the pain and felling alone I would train. I would ordered the guards to be with me and watch as I worked out. I started to fight the guards and we just had a bond. I felt closer to my panther strength. I was for once truly happy. Then I came to Alfea. And the rest is history." Flora says as some tears leak for her eyes.

I see the tears roll down her face as I pull her into my arms. She didn't deserve any of the things she dealt with. I wanted to hold her and make all of her hurt go away.

"Flora I'm so sorry. You didn't deserve any of that."

"Thank you. I love you."

"I love you too Flora." I said kissing her cheek.

We sit in the booth for about 2 hours when we started to head to the palace with Delgato not to far behind us. We get back to the palace to see her sisters sending flirty smiles to me and the guys. Flora and the girls start to talk about where they were going to sleep while Riven pulls me aside to talk.

"Is it just us or are Rose and Lily flirting with us? Mostly you." Brandon asks.

"They're flirting with us. Flora told me that they are just trying to hurt the girl by taking us." I explain.

"Should we tell Flora or should we just handle it ourselves?" Timmy asks.

"I honestly don't want Flora more stressed than she already is. Just don't flirt back and we'll be fine." I explain.

"Alright." The guys agree to.

"Helia get over here." A man voice orders.

I look to see Flora's father. My heart honestly stops with fear. I'm actually afraid of her dad. I walk over to him and soon her uncles crowd around me. Oh boy.
