Jarren’s POV
“Jilliannah, we need to talk.”
I knew by the way her body stiffened that it was a mistake for me to use her first name, but I felt what we needed to talk about was serious. I know she may think it’s unreasonable, but I needed her to see the importance of it. She sat up and leaned against the headboard.
“About what?”
“Us getting married.”
“Um, okay. What about it?”
“I know we just got engaged, and talking about this may seem too soon, but we need to set a wedding date.”
Jarren’s POV“Hey, beautiful.”“Hey. My mom said you were picking me up for dinner tomorrow night.”“Yes, she’s going with my mom to the restaurant to set up everything early.”Jillie shook her head. “They’re taking this a little too seriously.”“Are you saying that it’s not serious?”She closed her locker and turned to me. “Of course, that’s not what I’m saying. They’re just doing a bit much, is what I meant.”“You can’t blame them. My mom has been hounding
Jillie’s POV“Rainbows and lollipops!” I called as I entered my house.“Kittens and lemon drops!” Came the familiar response as I heard footsteps coming down the hall. I hugged Kaileeh, and we spun around. We laughed so hard that I didn’t hear the second set of footsteps coming down the hall.“Why do the two of you do that?”I looked up and saw my Aunt Kassie. “Hi, Aunt Kassie.”“Hello, Jilliannah.”I turned back to Kaileeh. “Is everyone else here?”
Jillie's POVWe sat and watched TV. My phone ringing pulled my attention away from the show we’d settled on.“Hello.”“Come open the side door,” Jarren responded.“Okay,” I stated before hanging up. “Kaileeh, close that door,” I said, pointing to the den door that led to the hall. Getting up, I made my way out of the door that led to the charity room and to the side door. Opening it, I smiled at Jarren. He leaned in and kissed my lips.“Hey, beautiful.”“Hello, handsome.” I looked past him. “What is
Jarren's POV I was up the entire night waiting on that phone call. I was relieved when it never came. Heading out the door, I paused to look at myself in the mirror. I didn't look like I'd been up all night. Stepping outside, I closed the door behind me and headed to my car. Everyone else had already left. I headed to Jillie's house. There were no cars there when I pulled into the driveway. Getting out of the car, I went to the front door and rang the bell. She answered the door a moment later. She was wearing a Royal blue dress that looked absolutely beautiful on her. I see why my mother insisted on me wearing a blue shirt. The dress was strapless with
Jillie’s POV I stared at the scene before me in utter shock. I was surprised my sister said any of that. I closed my eyes as I felt a headache pulling at my left temple. I brought my hand up to rub it gently. Excellent, just what I need. On top of that, Jarren’s family is going to think my family’s like this all the time.*No, they won’t, Piccolo* I opened my eyes and turned to look at him. He removed my fingers from my temple and replaced them with his. He took his other hand and placed his index and thumb on the center of my forehead before moving them slowly in opposite directions. He then ran his thumb from the center of my forehead to the tip of my nose.
Jarren’s POV“Why are you so nervous?”Jillie turned in her seat to look at me. “Well, let’s see. I’m going to a trial for a Nymph. On top of that, there will be all kinds of differentpeoplethere. Oh, and paparazzi are going to be breathing down my neck.”Kaileeh chuckled from the backseat. “Calm down, Jillie.”“I’m trying to.”“Look at it this way; you’ll get the royal treatment,” Garret stated.“That’s what has me so n
Jillie’s POV A hush fell over the crowd as all eyes turned to me. I didn’t mean to have my little outburst, but I did. Someone had to. Sentencing her to death was ridiculous for one crime.“Is there something you want to say, Princess Jilliannah?” one of the Judges askedBeing called that was getting on my nerves. Especially since I’m not a princess yet. “Yes. First, please stop calling me Princess Jilliannah. Jarren and I aren’t married yet, and it’s making me uncomfortable. Second, you can’t sentence her to death. It’s unreasonable.”“She committed a crime,” the man from the Council who had just spoke
Unknown POV It was all coming together now. Everything I’d worked so hard for the last hundred and fifty-plus years was coming true. It took me a while to get to this point, but the reward at the end would be well worth it. Rising from my seat, I made my way to the window. Looking out, I was met by the vast expanse of trees. Secluded and, at the same time, visible.“Brother.”“Have a seat. I have something I want you to do for me, sister.”“I’m listening.”“There’s a full moon Friday night. This is what I need you to do….”
