A/N: This is my first time writing a fanfiction and decided to give it a try after all the amazing ones I've read so far. With that in mind, constructive criticism would be deeply appreciated. I'll try to have a new chapter out every week at the very least, depending on how long they are, but may be out sooner than later since I'm in summer break from college. If any of you have questions or comments, don't hesitate to put them up. I hope you enjoy the story.

*Introduction*

Silence.

As I lay bleeding on the snow, all there is is silence. I try to move but the pain from my broken leg squashes any further ideas of that. I notice a couple of branches breaking near me, so I look up. A white wolf twice my size was approaching me, slowly, baring its teeth.

There it was, Death. It has come to put me out of my misery, which I welcome wholeheartedly. My vision was starting to fade, as well as my other senses. All I could make out was a white blob approaching me, getting bigger with every passing second.

It all went dark as a lay waiting for the end, but it doesn't arrive.

A hand grabs my arm and starts to dragging me across the snowy forest ground, managing to catch one word …

Idiot.

~Ten-years Later~

"Marco, wake up." I felt a hand nudging my shoulder, which was now hurting from the punch.

"WAKE UP!" I turn to the assailant and wonder how a shrub got into my room. Oh, wait.

I look outside my window, and notice that the sun was barely rising.

"Kelly, do you mind? I'm trying to sleep here and what are you doing in my room so early in the morning?"

Kelly scoffs, "You're joking right? Please tell me you're joking … for your safety," she said in a dark tone I knew all too well. I decide that it's far too early to mess with her so I submit and get out of bed, shuddering on how cold my room was. I look over to Kelly and notice that she isn't looking me in the eyes, but my abdomen. "You might want to close your mouth a little before you start drooling again," I teased. She punches my shoulder and I wince from the impact. I forgot how strong Kelly is, especially when she's angry

"So what time does the ceremony begin?" I asked. "Well, if you would have paid attention to my mom, you would have realized that the ceremony starts in a couple hours. Two hours to be exact, so hurry up Marco," she gave me a sad look, "You don't want to keep royalty waiting, especially not that bitc-" I rose my hand in annoyance.

"Kelly, please, you know how I feel about cursing." I go to my drawers to pick out my usual attire: a grey shirt, black shorts, and a red hoodie.

"But Marco, she's taking you away from us. How do you think the others will feel when you're gone … especially me." I hear her begin to sob, so I reach out and pull her into a hug, trying to comfort her. "Hey, it'll be okay Kells. I promise that this circumstance won't keep us apart, because I wouldn't be a good best friend if it did. Plus, I'll be a few hours away on horseback so I'll visit you no matter what, okay?" She pulls away from me and wipes away her tears and smiles at me. "Okay, I'll be holding you to that promise. I guess we better head out huh?" We began to head out of my room until Kelly stopped me. "Do you plan on going to the ceremony in your trousers?"

After a few hours of talking and getting me 'prepared' we decided to get some breakfast. We reached two massive wooden doors and we each took our own door and pushed our way inside.

Chaos was an understatement as to what lay before us.

People were fighting each other, throwing food, arguing, and laughing all over the grand hall. This is my home and has been for the last ten years, for now anyway. Once Kelly and I began to walk over to the food station, which was mostly comprised of meat and bread, the hall became quiet. I guess being the blacksmith to all this people had its perks since the respect that came with it was worth it.

"Don't you get tired of them doing that every time they see you come in here?"

I smiled, "Of course not." We got our food and headed to our usual table, the one at the far back in all the mayhem. Once we reached it, the place went back to its usual behavior. I looked up and noticed that Kelly appeared uneasy. "Hey what's wrong?"

It was silent for a few minutes

"You know you're family right Marco?" I was not expecting that question.

"Of course I do Kells, but why the sudden question?" She looks at me and then back at her hands, which she was clenching as if for dear life.

"Marco … it's because I know you don't have any family outside of us that I worry. Ever since I found you in the woods with my parents, I can't help but think the worst when you're not near me." She looked up to meet my eyes with determination. She's so adorable, I say in my head.

"Marco I-"

"Hey losers, how's it going?" Kelly looks towards the disruptor with annoyance and … anger?

"Higgs," she says through gritted teeth, "now is not the time."

"Oh sorry Kelly, I didn't know you two were on a date." Before Kelly or I could respond, Higgs raises her hand to stop us.

"Save it you two. Kelly, your mom told me to come get Marco since he was supposed to be at the entrance of the Guild for the ceremony ten minutes ago. Not much of a ceremony if you ask me, but whatever. Marco let's go. You wouldn't want to keep her Highness waiting now would you?"

I sigh in defeat and walk towards to entrance with Kelly to me left and Higgs to my right. I guess I'm a prisoner now. Before we leave the hall, everyone in it stands up and gives me a traditional guild salute … one you give at a funeral for a fallen member.

I'm going to miss these idiots.

Once we arrived at the ceremony, murmurs began. I noticed that I was taking this whole situation rather well. Why? I spotted Kelly's mother and aunt to our right, next to a carriage, and she didn't look happy. I'm sure Kelly noticed that too since I felt her scoot closer to me when we stopped in front of them. A series of trumpets went off, deafening me for a few seconds as well as others around the vicinity I'm sure. The door from the carriage began to open and everyone went quiet.

A girl probably around my age, 16 years-old, stepped out of the carriage and the first thing I noticed were her cheek marks.

Hearts. One was pink, while the other was pitch black.

She had beautiful blond hair that reached all the way to the back of her knees, with a five pronged crown resting on her head. Her dress was equally as beautiful, the color blue, just like her eyes. The blue flats she wore were no exception.

I guess she likes blue.

She walked towards me with such grace and confidence that both Kelly and Higgs took a few steps back, as well as the audience, except me and Kelly's mom.

"So you must be Marco Ubaldo Diaz," she asked as soon as she stopped a foot away from me.

I cringed at hearing my middle name.

"Yes your highness, I'm Marco," I said as I bowed, to which she laughed.

"Oh am I going to like you," she gave me a once over and paused, "a lot."

"Ahem, your Highness, could we get on with the ceremony," asked Kelly's mom.

"But of course we can, Helen of Conquest," she turned to Helen, "I was just examining the merchandize."

"No one has called me that in years but, a reminder to you my queen, don't call a member of my family merchandize," she stated with irritation.

The queen chuckled, "No need to get so upset Helen, I was only joking. I don't have time to start a fight with you or your guild. My attention is preoccupied by the monsters, and this handsome young man in front of me."

I looked back and noticed Kelly being held back by a struggling Higgs. I needed to diffuse this and fast.

"Umm your majesty, could you-," she raises her finger to my lips, silencing me, "Call me Star."

"Okay, Star, could you explain to me what this ceremony means because I forgot," I lied.

She looked at me with a hint of sadness, but vanished the second I noticed it. "My aren't you adorable, well if you insist." She stepped back and raised her hand, gaining everyone's undivided attention. "Listen up, all of you, Marco is to come with me to my castle were he will forge weapons for my armies that will aid in the fight against the monsters and their leader, Toffee. The reason as to why he has to come with me is due to the fact that transporting weapons involves soldiers, which I cannot afford to spare,so this is the most logical action. I admit this is more of a trade, than a ceremony since I am paying for his services, but now that I think about it," she looked over to Kelly and then at Helen, a smile grew on her face, "I've decided to add something else to our agreement, if Marco agrees that is."

I had a bad feeling about this, but something told me she was going to tell me regardless if I refused.

"What is it you wanted to add," I asked. A growing dread began to spread throughout my body.

"Well, silly, it's quite simple actually. I want to keep you at my castle for a few years as … my fiance." Everyone gasped in shock, except for me. I knew she was up to something, but I certainly wasn't expecting that. "Oh, silly me, I almost forgot."

There was more.

She walked up to me and put her hand on my heart, "You can't leave my kingdom during that time, safety reasons," she said with a smile and gave me a peck on the lips.

Oh no.

I heard movement coming from behind me and didn't have time to react to an angry Kelly pulling me away from the Star.

"THAT WAS NOT PART OF THE DEAL," Kelly yelled. "and how dare you think that I'm going to let you take my Marco away!" Her mother soon joined her side and, surprisingly, drew her dragon bone greatsword, which I crafted.

"My daughter is right. In fact, the deal is off. I don't sell family, and won't be starting now," she pointed her sword at Star, "now leave."

Star closed her eyes, "that's too bad because I really need him," she reached under her dress and pulled out what looked like a wand, "and I'm not leaving without him."

I could tell this was one word away from outright war between the Kingdom of Mewni and us, the Lycan Guild, so I had to do something and hopefully it wouldn't backfire this time.

I put my hand on Kelly's shoulder, "Kelly let me go."

"But Mar-"

"Kelly trust me okay, I got this." She looked at me with sadness and let go. Sorry Kells, but this is for your safety as well as everyone else. I walked up to Star and looked her straight in the eyes and smiled.

"Star, since I'm sure you know how diplomacy works let's talk instead of resorting to unnecessary violence, which I'm sure you cannot afford to do. Plus, you're being rude." She looked at me with curiosity, and began to put her wand away. "Thank you Star. Now about your additions to the deal, those I cannot agree with so you will listen to what I have to say unless you want bloodshed. First, I can't be away from Kelly for prolonged periods of time. It's bad for my health, and the entire guild's," Helen and Higgs chuckled at this, " as for the second thing, marriage should be taken seriously since it's a big commitment so, unless we get to know each other, we can't be engaged." Everyone stood still waiting for the queen's response.

She sighed, "Alright Marco, you make very good points. I'm willing to compromise," sounds of relief escaped the crowd since the crisis was no averted, "regarding the first thing, I'm still keeping the two-year time frame but am willing to allow you to visit your guild once a month. As for the second thing, I am serious Marco but if I must prove to you of this fact, then so be it. Are these changes suitable?"

"Yes, but one other thing," I pull her close to me, tilt her chin up, and give her a peck on the lips, "don't do anything underhanded okay?"

Star backs away from me with a smile and hint of a blush on her cheek marks. She walked towards the carriage and went inside, looking out towards me, waiting.

I looked behind me, "Sorry Kells, I'll explain myself soon okay? Hopefully you don't kill me then." I walked up to her and embraced her, kissing the top of her head. She pushed me away and ran towards the guild, tears on her face. I looked over to Higgs and Helen, "please take care of her while I'm gone," they nod, "good, thanks." I turned around and headed towards to carriage, but before I entered I looked back at the guild, my home, and smiled. I went inside and was met with Star holding a glass of what I assumed to be alcohol.

This was going to be a long trip.
