The thunderstorms were rumbling in the sky, with powerful, gushing gusts blowing, and the torrential rain made communication between Princess Sabrina and Dillion a lot easier than it would have been otherwise.Dillion's energy has been replenished, he bowed to the princess, "Sure princess, but first I need to clean your wound on your neck." "Go over to that table; there are bandages there." Princess Sabrina said, gesturing towards a vanity table, "You left markings on my neck, when will this disappear?" she wondered.His footsteps crossed the room and he reached for the bandage on the table. He said, "It will disappear tonight, and I will take care of the marks.""Can you tell me how my blood tastes?" The princess inquired, a smile on her face.While returning to her side, he blushed and said, "Umm...""Is it because the rain and thunderstorms outside are so loud that I am unable to hear you? Or you are murmuring quietly so that I do not hear you?" The princess laughed a little, "You
Princess Sabrina studied his expression carefully. She found herself entranced, and was impressed by the way he was able to live up to so many years without blood.The two of them had been silent for much too long, and Dillion suddenly broke the spell by saying, "Your highness, it's raining outside; you might become sick if you stay awake this late."The way she gazed at him, "Dillion, I really want to sleep, but the fact that I actually encountered a real vampire isn't making me feel any better," her eyes narrowed yet again, she said, "but I want to stay awake with you, who knows you might bite me while I am asleep."He made a chuckling sound. "Although I am a vampire, Your Highness, I will not bite you at random.""You are playing a joke on me, aren't you?" she said, her cheeks flushed with blush."No, Your Highness," he said, shaking his head. "I never play a joke on anyone.""Fine, I will go to sleep now," she said with a heavy sigh. She rolled over onto her back, threw the blanke
Princess Sabrina was aware that men undergo physical changes when sleeping, but this was the first time she had witnessed it in action herself.She placed the candle next to her and glanced over Dillion's face to study his features. Because he was perspiring, she used the hem of her gown to wipe the sweat from his forehead. As she brushed his brown hair backwards, the princess noted his fair skin that appeared pale, but he was still handsome and had an adorable face.Dillion remained calm for a short period of time and did not grumble or groan any more. That brought a sigh of relief to the princess.She got to her feet and headed to the door with the thought of unlocking it, only to find that it had already been unlocked, "it must have been him, thank you Dillion for unlocking it." She expressed her appreciation to him.Princess Sabrina crossed the room and lay down on her bed with a smile of relief, 'It is so surreal to think that I actually met a vampire. After reading the book, I
KNOCK! KNOCK! Princess Sabrina knocked at the door of Dillion's chamber.After a period of deafening quiet, he finally opened the door to allow the princess to enter his room. He welcomed her into the room and closed the door behind them. Princess Sabrina walked in and faced him."I am here to apologise on my uncle's behalf; he did not mean to offend you with what he said, and I do not want you to feel bad about it. Please accept my apologies." The princess begged for forgiveness.He was seated on his bed with his head bowed, and he did not answer the princess's request for an apology."Dillion?" she murmured his name as she stepped closer to him."You are under no obligation to apologise, your highness. My family does not exist anymore, and this is the truth of the matter. I am on my own, lonely and alone forever." He sounded as cold as ice with barren emotions and suddenly, the tears streamed down his face."Who said you did not have somebody to turn to? You have got me, and you ha
The chess game began with Lance Scott losing his match against master Kai in the first twenty minutes."Do you believe anyone will be able to beat Master Kai? That boy did not have enough knowledge to beat Master Kai; do you think anyone will be able to beat him?" King Azar whispered to his daughter in a hushed voice with a smirk on his face."Father, I did not conduct this exam to uncover or find another chess master; rather, I want to see who has more insight and foresight into their opponent's moves. So I am here just to watch their mind move on the field.""Oh, you surprised me by being so thoughtful and serious about this, I didn't expect this. I can see you were well-trained by Duchess Serena." The king answered.Princess Sabrina was taken aback when she saw her father supporting the Duchess but not his own daughter.Castóy Mursô was the next who played against Master Kai, he was playing good initially but he passed out in between. The Duke declared he lost the game too.Meanwhi
"What a fantastic portrayal of the game of chess!" Master Kai complimented on Dillion's remark as he moved his another pawn.Dillion bowed his head in gratitude for the compliment."That is, without a doubt, a really outstanding concept. Isn't that right, Father?" The princess raised her eyes to her father.Her father, on the other hand, appeared to be off, with his head bowed.Princess Sabrina grew concerned about her father's state of mind and said, "What happened father?"With a low trembling voice, King Azar mumbled, "Whatever that man stated, everything is true.""Huh? I know, I get that, but what happened to you? Why do you look so depressed and gloomy?" she said of him in hushed tones."I was indeed the weakest to handle this kingdom, but your mother, Azura, was stronger than me and she lent me her strength so that I could handle this kingdom on my own. Although she lent me her strength, I could never be as powerful as her and in the end, she died leaving me, leaving us!" His e
Dillon strolled over to the princess and took a seat next to her on the bed."Your understanding of chess is quite beautiful; where did you learn it?" The princess inquired in a soft voice.Dillion responded with a smile, "When I was younger, my grandmother used to tell me this. She used to be the one who taught me everything.""Remarkable! So, if all you understood about chess was the concept of it, how did you manage to win?" The princess took a close look at his features."I watched master Kai's move and reproduced it identically, and there was a point when my queen defeated his queen and took the position next to his king in the game. That was a checkmate right there!" He gave a soft chuckle. "Wow, what an incredible strategy to copy, play, and win with." The princess joined in the laughter as well."In that case, please answer to my question your highness: why were you upset when I won the chess match?" Dillion's brows were knit together in concentration.The princess bent her h
The weather was cold due to the rain and moisture outside, and the room was lit only by candles making the atmosphere more romantic as Princess Sabrina and Dillion stared at one another, their eyes never leaving the other, their hearts pounding in their chests as if their hearts would jump outside."What are you waiting for Dillion? You were craving for my blood only a second ago, what is the point of waiting now?" Princess Sabrina spoke to him in hushed tones."The urge to suck your blood from your lips is still strong in me, b—but I am working on retraining myself because I ... I am a little shy and nervous." He hesitated to suck her blood from her lips, after all she was a princess of a royal family."There is no time to ponder about it any more!" With her arms extended toward him and her both hands yanking on the collar of his shirt, the princess brought him more closer where their lips were a centimetre apart."Take my blood!" She whispered to him before she mashed her lips again
Well it is Thursday again which means I've got a date with the devil, and no I don't mean Ajax, I mean his sisters, both of them. They love me as much as I love them, making Thursday night my favourite of the week.Apparently Giri's brother requires their garage tonight meaning the boys are practicing in Ajax's room. This has created a new problem as Nessie and Miya want to watch their brother, giggling at his very explicit instructions to keep out. I have to keep catching them and taking them back downstairs, which means the girls now view it as a game to try and breach Ajax's room, which is leading to a very tiring night for me. I can't be too firm with them as they aren't my kids, yet they are taking my calm instructions to stay downstairs as a joke. Can you tell I'm stressed? Up and down and up and down and up and down the stairs we have been, chasing the little rascals around and throwing them over my shoulder as they try to make a run for it.I didn't know having kids could be s
I am riding to school with Ajax this morning. Tiger sent me a gloomy message after I got home from Maisie's last night saying she has to go in early, and I didn't want to get up any earlier then I have to. I told Ajax about my little problem and he insisted I ride with him. He finally has a new phone and keeps bugging me with messages. Well, it's not really an annoyance when I'm literally counting the seconds until he messages again. My stomach twists up in knots and a nervous blush coats my cheeks whenever I'm around him. It's like my body just cannot handle his hotness. I've always been quiet, but never shy, especially not around my friends, and I guess Ajax is my friend. Although some part of me doesn't like the idea of that.I hurry out of my house right on time to find him leaning against his insanely cool car, waiting for me with a teasing smirk. His 1970s Chevy Camaro is a smooth inky black in colour with a thick white stripe reaching towards the windscreen on the bonnet. A pic
SEVEN AND A BIT YEARS LATER..."Ah fvck!" I curse, tears beading in my eyes as another wave of pain washes through my stomach.Dammit, that's another pound in the swear jar. Yes, that's right, we officially have a swear jar that travels everywhere with us, trying to curve our bad language habits. It's been going ok, well, ok for me, but Vincent swears like a sailor so I've been making millions off him. Since he met his mate Clarity, he's been much happier and turned into a better man, which is lovely to witness. She is a tiny thing, actually smaller then me so she is the butt of many jokes, but she has an amazing sense of humour, and finds the good in everything, so she doesn't take offence."Ow, ow, ow, ow! When will this be over?" I moan, squeezing Alex's hand so tightly I swear I can feel the bones shift."Its ok baby, just breathe, just breathe." Alex murmurs supportively."Don't tell me what to do! This is all your fault!" I yell, the pain unexplainable."Ok I'm sorry, its fine,
I have never been a fan of air travel, but Alex's private plane does help. I am pretty freaking scared about meeting my Alex's parents, but it is an inevitable event; I am the heir to the throne as I'm mated to their son. According to Alex there is a ball being held in my honour tomorrow night, with some of the most influential and powerful were's and lycans in the world in attendance. I am quite nervous about my debut into society, but Ana who returned to Russia last week has promised me that there is nothing to worry about, and has helped plan the event. I guess if anything, it is pretty flattering having a whole ball dedicated to me. I'm sure I'll be bombarded with introductions and will have to follow royal protocol tomorrow night, but having Alex by my side will give me the strength to persevere through it.As we got off the plane, (Vincent, Lucian and Sapphire travelled with us) a fleet of royal cars and bodyguards were waiting for us, reminding me once again that I'm no longer
*Smut warning - very mature!!*"Woohoo! This party is great!" I yell over the thundering beat to Alex, whom I am currently dancing with, lost in the sea of bodies.It is finally Halloween, and I managed to persuade Alex to come out to Celestrina's party with me. It has been four months since we mated, and everything has been just wonderful. Next week we are leaving to Russia with our pack to meet Alex's parents – aka the freaking King and Queen of all Lycanthropes. I am quite nervous, but I'm sure they'll love me. I will be the sunniest ball of sunshine they have ever met! Celestrina is doing great as a werewolf. It took her a while to adjust, but now she's loving being a part of the superior race. I told her about me being a Lycan, and she was amazed, but really happy when I told her the whole story of my life. She has decided to take a gap year before she heads off to college, to make sure that she has her wolf under control, and has learnt the ways of a were.Her Halloween party is
Seven Years later...Sometimes I wonder how my life would've turned out if I had dug my heels in and never went to Lupine Peak. I don't doubt that I eventually could have changed my dads mind; I can be pretty stubborn at times. It's scary to think about how different my life would be – I wouldn't have met my soulmate, Alex, found loyal friends ready to sacrifice their lives for me, and definitely wouldn't be preparing to be crowned Queen, alongside my Alex, who is also now my husband. We decided on a small ceremony a year after we mated, (mostly just for show for my dad and other human family) at one of Alex's private Islands, this one located in the Maldives. It was absolutely beautiful, and a memory I will never forget. After a few days there, we went to Bora Bora for an Instagram worthy honeymoon, where our backyard was waves of royal blue, soft and gentle, just begging to be swam in. After our few weeks in paradise, we returned to Russia as a united force, ready to begin my Queenl
My eyes are suddenly open though I can't think of why; my heart is pounding, mind empty. It's as if a hypodermic of adrenaline has been emptied into my carotid. I strain into the utter darkness; my breathing rate increased ten fold. There is something inside of me, straining to burst out. Ghostly whispers in my ear urge me to get outside, to be in sight of the moon. At this point, I am panting, and drizzled in sweat. I vaguely hear Alex awake from beside me as I stumble out of the bed and tumble to the floor, my sight blurry. Alex murmurs from behind me as I rush unsteadily to the window, something pulsing, trying to rip out of my chest.Feeling like I can't breathe, I use my remaining strength to smash out of the window, and tumble into the garden below. I feel something snap as I land with a thud on the floor, momentarily stunning me, but I don't register the pain, too preoccupied with whatever is clawing around inside of me. There is a roar before a thud reverberates through the gr
"Oh Phoebe... I'm so happy you guys are together now! So this means you're staying, right?" Tammy asks anxiously as Alex and I part for breath, the group still stood by the door."Hmm... I'll think about it." I wink playfully.In response, Alex's arms tighten possessively around me, and he growls in my ear: "You're mine now kitten. I'm not letting you go."The vibrations from his deep, husky voice throb straight to my core, causing my legs to clench around Alex, and me to bite my bottom lip hard to stop a wanton moan from flying out. Taking a deep breath to control my raging emotions, I turn back to Tammy."I'm joking... of course I'll stay here, where ever Alex goes, I go." I explain whilst sinking my head into Alex's hard chest, comforted by his roaring heartbeat."You've made me the happiest man in the world Phoebe." I hear Alex murmur above me, and then plant a tender kiss on my head."Aww, you two are the cutest! You've made my brother soft." Ana chuckles, interrupting the tender
As we pull up at the mansion, I feel like I'm housing a whole damn zoo in my stomach. I find some relief in the fact that I can't sense Alex here, meaning I have some more time to relax and think about what I'm going to say. A wave of nostalgia washes over me as I take in the beautiful mansion, walking up the white marble steps to the ornate front door. I have lived here, cried here, loved here and almost died here. It most certainly will always be scrapbooked into my memory. As I enter into the grand palace, my dad with his arm wrapped around me, we encounter a shocked Vincent."Phoebe! I thought I could sme... hear you!" He gasps, an easy smile gliding onto his face smooth as butter."Hi Vincent. I've come to see Alex... oh and this is my dad, Ricky." I explain hastily."Oh that's real great Phoebe. He should be back soon. Hi Ricky, would you like me to show you around?" Vincent easily charms my dad."Yea sure, nice to meet you. Take it easy Phoebs, and just call me if you need any
