Willas did not know how it happened.

He had never been the one to lose his head but now it looked like he had lost his heart.

Standing in the shadows watching her dance with his brother made his chest burn. Jealousy was not an emotion he was much familiar with; being the heir of one of the richest lords in Westeros he never had the opportunity to feel envy or to be jealous. With soft brown hair that curled around her hips and violet eyes that betrayed her true identity and sinful silhouette she was the object of desire of many in the hall.

He knew Loras was not interested in her but all he wanted to do was snatch her away and mark her as his own.

She was only a bastard in the world's eyes but he wanted to make her his Queen, The Queen of his Heart.

Willas was determined to make her his.

He had first seen her in a tourney at Starfall; she was there with her father Lord Eddard Stark, the Lord Paramount of the North and the rest of the Stark family.

He was one and ten and she was six. He was sneaking around the castle with his younger brother, Garlan. She had tears in her eyes a Lady Catelyn Stark shouted at her and slapped her.

'How dare you bastard to sully the name of my husband and wear the colors of house Stark. The bastards wear no color at all. I should have left you at the Wolfswood when you were a babe. You dare to take away the love and affection that is my true blooded children's and dare to look pretty and sit at the high table on my husband's lap that is my dear Sansa's place. You dare usurp my children's rightful position.

Remember bastard no matter what you do or learn all you will be good for to bear the bastards of low life criminals. No pure blood Lord or his heir would look at you once.

When we go back to Winterfell you will have no new things for a year and will clean your room yourself and will have no maids.'

With the angry words Lady of Winterfell left the corridor leaving a crying girl of six you still did not know what exactly her fault was.

She remained curled in a ball on the corridor and cried, Garlan who was ten years old at that time understood little of what bastards were like Willas but all the two brothers knew was they didn't want the pretty girl to cry.

The two boys recruited their sister and younger brother Margery and Loras, the four siblings befriended the girl, Margery and her became friends and even though her birth did not vex the children the Tyrell's did not dissuade the friendship. Their grandmother even encouraged it.

He did not know when he fell in love with her maybe it was the time when he first saw her alone and sad or when they sneaked around Starfall and snuck into the kitchen to steal honey figs or maybe when he danced with her for the first time.

Willas was not sure of the moment he fell in love but he was sure it was Astrya Snow who held his heart.

There were very few things Astrya Snow had to be happy for in her life but the foremost was her friendship with the heir of Highgarden Willas Tyrell.

From the tender age of six she had been friends with the children of the Lord Paramount of the Reach, the four Tyrell's and one lone Snow were thick of thieves.

Astrya's father Lord Eddard Stark had worked tirelessly to change the face of the North. No more were they perceived as uncouth barbarians but were a land where trade flourished. Due to his many businesses and trade agreements Lord Stark was often away from Winterfell and where Lord Stark went Astrya Snow was to follow.

The main reason why she accompanied her father was his wife, who most certainly was not her mother.

Catelyn Stark nee Tully hated Astrya. She never let a chance to demean her or make her cry.

For that reason alone she spent more time away from Winterfell.

While she loved her father, the love she had for her uncle was beyond measure. Arthur Dayne was pardoned by the king for the sole reason that he was kin of Ned Stark's bastard daughter. Ashara Dayne had bled out and died in childbed.

The entire realm knew her as the daughter of Ned Stark and Ashara Dayne. Her uncle Arthur was given him the seat of Hornhill after Randyll Tarly had died during the battle leaving only a boy as his heir who was determined to wear chains than armor. Samwell Tarly was at the citadel learning all he could.

Due to Arthur's legendary reputation Mace Tyrell had made him the general in-charge of the vast Reach armies and naval forces.

Aurelia lovingly called as Lia spent a lot of time in the Reach with her uncle in the company of Tyrell children.

Horn Hill was her escape from the hateful glare of Lady Stark, she resented her for the friendship she had with the heir of Highgarden. She was of the mind that if anyone must have the friendship of Tyrell heirs and daughter it should be her trueborn Stark children Robb and Sansa.

Astrya stayed in Horn Hill for three years till she was almost ten when the Ironborn rebelled, the Greyjoy rebellion made Astrya Snow go back to Winterfell where she would be safe as her uncle was to go fight the Krakens.

Willas hated the Ironborn; they made his best friend move away. The little girl he had rode horses with, played knight and princess with and caught butterflies with was forced to go to a place where she was hated by many.

Willas was thirteen during the time of the Greyjoy rebellion when she went away, he did not understand the reason why she had to go but all he knew was that it was the fault of the Ironborn for attacking and making his best friend move away. The four tyrell siblings missed her dearly and awaited her return.

Willas was fifteen when he decided that he would make Astrya Snow his wife.

A.N. There will be difference from canon in this one.

The North will be more developed and a rich kingdom. Ned Stark will have a more business minded disposition.

This story not for Catelyn fans.

Arthur Dayne lives. Aurelia is Lyanna and Rhaegar's daughter but to protect her Arthur and Ned have lied and made everyone believe she is Ashara's daughter.

Benjen Stark does not take the Black. He is the Lord of Moat Cailin.

Adelaide Kane as Astrya Snow. Sam Claffin as Willas Tyrell. Logan Lerman as Garlan Tyrell.

The Tyrell's don't know about Astrya's real identity but they approve of her as she is her uncle's heir.
