Chapter 11: Adapting

After this Zayn fanfic I might do a Harry Styles, Liam Payne, or Niall Horan fanfic. It's up to you what you want it to be about. Vampires? Fairies? Normal teens? Angels and Demons?

Destiny's P.O.V

I don't know what the first step to becoming a princess at all. After all, I am also a werewolf.  How does he do it? What do his people look up to? I stare blankly at the wall. I notice Zayn isn't sleeping next to me. I stand up and begin to brush my teeth.I walk down stairs and see the whole pack sitting around the table looking confused.  I look around for Zayn but he's not seated at the table. I walk over and take a seat next to Skyler. 

"What's going on?" I ask staring at Eric and Ethan who seem to be the ones taking it the hardest. 

"We're moving." Ethan growls. 

"Moving?" I blurt out. 

"Zayn says we have to move to his kingdom." Ethan finally looks up at me. 

"Where is that?" I ask my facial expression turning confused as theirs. 

"Not too far from here. Far North in the suburbs."Eric says looks back down. 

"They have a village there and everything for his people." Ethan stands up pushing his chair back. 

"Why is that such a big deal?" Skyler jumps in. 

"We have to leave everything behind.." Ethan shrieks. 

"What do you have left to leave behind?" Slater growls. Although it wasn't a question. I shoot a look between them.

"What does he mean by that?" I ask giving them both cold eyes. The pack never insulted each other so deeply before. 

"None of your business" Ethan shoots a cold snap. He stands up and pulls Eric out of the room. I sit back in my chair taking a deep breath. Is moving that bad?

"Don't worry about them." My brother looks at me and gives me a warm smile. 

"What did I do?" I look down and play with my fingers. 

"Nothing. It's just that we have a lot of explaining to do. We want you to be ready." He says looking me  over. 

"Ready for what?" I look at Slater, Skyler, and Slade. 

"The village over there isn't normal... they don't believe in evil things. People aren't use to us. They only look up to Zayn. They are nice people but there's a group out there that can't stand people like us..." Dylan sits back. 

"What do you mean?"  

"They're different. Why do you think the castle is in the middle of nowhere and the village is far from it?" He growls. But not at me. 

"It's a group called The Romans. They come to Zayn's kingdom asking for stuff. Zayn's father used to be best friends with with the leader of The Romans, Josef. They both made an oath to each other saying they'd be there for one another. But then everything went to hell. Zayn's father did not always agree with Josef and they decided to put their friendship at an end. Josef attacked his people one day and they fell weak. They had no choice but to become Josef's slaves. Zayn's father didn't allow it so he made his own kingdom making Zayn the prince when he was born. But now, Josef uses things against him to get what he wants." My brother finishes and I'm already clenching my fists.

"So that's why Zayn didn't want me to get involved." I almost whisper. 

"We need to protect each other and finally destroy Josef." Slade growls.

"Not destroy, possibly make him go away. But not destroy." Slater jumps in. 

"When are we moving?" I immediately change the subject. 

"Tomorrow." Skyler looks at me for my reaction. I take a deep breath and shut my eyes. 

Why let us know now zayn? 

"Plus, it won't be that bad. Zayn kingdom has special magic that his parents are involved with." Slade makes it seem like it's really cool. 

"So?" I rest my head on Skyler's shoulder not in the mood for cheering up. 

"It's pretty interesting. It's going to be way different. But we'll get used to it." Slade nods at me.

"What about us as wolves?" I ask. 

"Well, there are wolves over there too. They protect the castle and serve us. We'll still get to train" Slade answers. 

"Where's Zayn?" I ask already getting goosebumps. 

I feel a presence already standing next to me.

"What's wrong? You Ok?" Zayn growls protectively pulling me up to my feet. 

"I'm worried." I say looking at Dylan. Thinking about what he just told me. 

"He told you. I was going to tell you myself. But I already have our stuff packed" Zayn looks at me and puts a strand of hair behind my ear.

"What about my parents?" I ask. 

"They won't be too far from us." Zayn assures me holding both my hands. 

"What if the other wolves don't like me?" I stare at him. 

"Don't be insecure. It will be fine. Stop worrying about it." He nods giving me a warm smile. 

"So what now?" I ask feeling Skyler's hand lay on my shoulder comforting me. 

"Did Eric and Ethan tell you anything?" I ask before he can answer. 

"Did they give you bullshit?" He growls. 

"No, but they seemed cold. Slater asked them what they had to leave behind and I asked them and they told me to mind my business." I said. 

His gaze immediately softens. "Oh." Is all he says.

"I'll take care of everything else." Skyler says nodding at us both and pulling Slade by the ear out of the room. 

"Why is everyone acting weird?" I ask.  

"They're just getting used to everything. Don't worry about it. They'll eventually come through, but it will take some time." He says motioning me to move up the stairs. 

"We need to get you into appropriate clothes so we can go to this ceremony where they will announce our departure and introduce ourselves to new packs." He says. 

"Well that's random" I growl. 

"Your father insists that before we leave. We won't be home for a while." He sighs. 

"Why exactly are we moving?" I blurt.

"Because my parents want us to for a while. It's my culture." Zayn sighs. 

"Don't worry Zayn, I respect it" I nod. 

"Okay, the dress code is casual so nothing fancy" He says. 

"But we do need to wear the same color so people can tell our pack from others." He finishes. 

"What color are we wearing?" I ask. 

"Red" He says looking at me.  

I head into my walk in closet and throw on a black sweatshirt with no hoodies, put on a short red frilly skirt over it, and put on my red toms. The red makes my blue eyes pop out. I let down my hair from the ponytail and throw on some light make up.  Zayn stares at me intensely through the mirror. I look over for his approval. 

"No." He growls. 

"Why not?" I snap. 

"The skirt is too short." He snaps back. 

"It's not even that short." I growl. 

"Change." He says. 

"No" I snap.

He walks over and stare intensely into my eyes. 

"If I can do this.." He runs his hands softly up my thigh. "Then it's too short." He whispers. So teasing my wolf growls. 

"Let her wear the skirt. Anything that has to do with showing legs is a problem for you." Skyler appears at the doorway smirking. My hero.

"Ugh. Fine." Zayn snaps still staring at me. 

Skyler had red skinny jeans with a black tank top. Her curls popped out more than anything. I smiled and we all head the car. As we wait for the others Eric and Ethan approach us.  They both wore black skinny jeans with a red shirt that said "Team Dez". 

They shoot me both an apologetic look. I chuckle and shake my head. Idiots. So far so good. Everybody was wearing some type of red.

"I'm sorry about before. We'll explain later." Eric says softly. I nod and we all get into the car. 

"So. We're all going to break into teams. No one is allowed to walk alone. Some of these packs can be tricky." Zayn says from the drivers seat. 

"Skyler and Slade can be together, Dylan and Slater, and Eric and Ethan can tag along with me and Dez." He says. 

"Sounds good." Skyler says cheerfully with a spark of evil in her eyes. 

"I'm ready for this" Skyler laughs.

We pull up into a parking lot full of cars and enter a building that I had no clue was called. The butlers hold open the doors for us and we walk into this large nice room as a pack. There was a pack of green, another wearing blue, and another wearing yellow. They eyed us mysteriously and some gave us nods.We split up and started going our own ways.

"Now entering is Zayn's pack wearing red. Strongest and smartest pack of all. Don't mess with them because you will be tricked and thrown into fire. Don't play with fire if you're afraid you'll get burned." A random man with a mic says. 

"Who's he?" I ask. Eric and Ethan both at my sides looking around protectively. 

"He's king of the packs. He runs this organization" Ethan says. 

We all reached a table and sat down at it. I looked around for any familiar faces but couldn't see any. 

"Get up and come dance with me. These dances look so royal." Skyler says already pulling me before I can ever answer. I look back at Zayn but he nods and smiles. 

Skyler pulls me onto the dance floor and puts her hand around my waist as I take her hand. I laugh at how weird we look and she chuckles. I love this girl. 

"Are you ready to move?" I ask her. 

"Hell yeah. It seems fun you know? But different. It's a good thing." She says nodding. 

"I guess so." I chuckle. 

"Be right back. I'm going to try and get Slade." She says before running off the other direction.

"May I have this dance?" A boy my age asks holding out his hand and staring at me. His eyes were a light grey and he had blueish hair. It was different. He is tall and has good taste in clothes wearing all black. I stare at him blankly and stumble back almost falling. He grips my arm.

"Woah. Careful there." He says looking as if he were about to laugh. 

"Sorry." I take his hand and he puts an arm around my waist for the dance. I flinch a little but realize it's a dance position. 

"Zayn's pack huh?" He says noticing my red. 

"Oh yes. I'm Destiny." I blurt out. 

"I know. Zayn's mate and princess. I've heard." He spins me around the other direction and our steps become more fast. 

"So what's your name?" I ask finally having the courage to look up at him. 

"My name is Adam and it's nice to meet you." He smiles and spins me once again throwing my hand back and pulling me back in.  

"You seem pretty cool." I say not even realizing it. I hope I'm not flirting. My heart belongs to Zayn but this guy would make a good friend. 

"I'm glad you think so, but I'm not a people person. I wish there were more like you." He says smiling a friendly smile. 

"What do you mean by that?" I ask. 

"I'm different. Aren't we all?" He chuckles lightly. 

He moves faster and I catch up with him as if it were my last dance.  

"You keep up quick" He laughs. 

"I'm trying." I give a nervous chuckle. 

"Well It was nice meeting you." He says before stopping "I have to get back." He lets go of my hand and gives me a warm smile. I nod and walk back to the table not looking back.I sat down in between Eric and Ethan and across from Zayn. 

"Who were you just dancing with?" Zayn asks curious flipping through the desert menu. 

"Some guy named Adam. He was actually quite nice." I say looking at all of them. 

Zayn froze and put down his menu. 

I realized something was wrong when Eric and Ethan stopped eating their food to look at me. 

"What?" I ask them. 

"Adam is Josef's son..." Eric says.

What?!
