Ben's POV

As I was fitted into my Auradon blue coronation suit my gaze wandered out the window to the Isle of the Lost..towards my mate. Thanks to the pull and my "Beast genes" I knew they were there. I had to bring them here so when I become king I'll have my future queen by my side. Plus the children of the villains were innocent. I would bring the four I had narrowed it down to, as soon as I see them I would know which was destined for me. Just one more day.

Carlos' POV the next day

I wouldn't tell Mal, Evie, or Jay this but I was glad we were going to Auradon even though there was probably going to be dogs there, YIKES! I had to get away from Mother...I can't even describe how crazy the lady was. I loved her of course but I cannot spend the rest of my life touching up roots and scraping bunions or her talking to that stuffed head... Plus there was something drawing me to Auradon, maybe someone.

As I sat in the limo I helped myself to something called chocolate, which is really good, super sweet or a bit bitter depending on the color, and clutched at something soft and that smelled really good, spice and grass...and something I couldn't place.

Of course by the time we reached Auradon Prep Jay had tried to swipe my soft thing. I resisted as much as I could.

"No!" I cried. "You got everything else, why do you want whatever this is?" Jay knocked me to the ground but before he could answer a boy with brown hair and greenish eyes pushed him off roaring.

"LET GO OF MY MATE!" He helped me up and checked me for injuries. "are you alright my darling?"

"Y...yes," I said. "Who...are..you? And why did you call me your..."

"Ben, future king of Auradon. And you my love are the one meant to be my queen, and you shall be." He pulled me close hw had the same scent as the soft thing. "Tell me your name."

"Carlos de Vil." I tried not to blush because the whole school was watching.

My friends were gawking at us. I could practically see Mal's brain churning as she added this to which ever plan she had to steal the wand.

Ben began to pull me toward the school, my friends followed.

"Benny-boo, you can't be serious! I'm your mate!" a girl with dark hair screeched.

Ben turned and glared at her before leading us off again.

Later I sat with my friends in Mal and Evie's dorm room, I was playing a video game, not paying attention to Evie as she measured me. Jay was scanning his scores, and Mal was flipping through her spell book.

"You nervous Carlos?" Evie asked taking her last measurement.

Apparently as Ben's "Future Queen" ( ha ha very funny Jay) I get to sleep in the guest suite in Ben's rooms at his parents castle. And that means I get to have dinner with them tonight. Evie was more excited than me as she furiously sewed.

"N...no."

Mal looked up and said."Being close to ben will help us get the wand, not exactly what we planned but..."

Oh right, the plan. Being close to the prince all day made me forget. I had this feeling Ben was what I was searching for.
