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
"No, I am not afraid of you; in fact, I would like to learn more about you and get to know you better than I now do. I am aware that there is a possibility that you will cause me harm in the future, and I believe that anyone can cause me pain and damage but I am not scared to take risks. I shall struggle to the end of my days in order to survive, I will fight back." The princess expressed herself."Your highness, I will make every effort to meet your expectations, but I can not guarantee that you will not suffer as a result of any damage I create." Dillion said this in a soft voice."Thank you so much for your help. Why don't you come over here and lie down next to me? It is almost time to retire for the night." Princess Sabrina patted on the bed next to her."Pardon, your highness? This is your bed... how am I supposed to sleep here?" He paused for a moment with wide eyes."You have touched this princess, and you are even lying on top of this princess on the same bed as her. So, why
"Wait up!" she raised her head to meet his gaze, "Before leaving, just promise me that you will take me outside, along with you tomorrow night. I am interested in seeing how it feels to fly." Princess Sabrina raised her brows together to want an answer."Haha, I will bring you along with me. I promise, your highness." He grinned once again, revealing his gorgeous smile before he bowed to her. Princess Sabrina gave him a friendly smile and nodded before saying, "Thank you very much; you may now hurry and leave. You must follow through on your promise."Dillion walked over to the window, and the princess got out of bed and followed him to the window as well.He turned once more at the princess before climbing on the window pane, "Good night, your highness." "Keep an eye out for our imperial guards, who are on the terrace and all over the place. Do not let yourself be caught!" She spoke in a hushed voice.He gave a nod before leaping from the window. The princess leaned and looked down
His words made the princess blush. She spoke, looking down at her hands to avoid his gaze, "Oh .... you must really like blood that much.""Yes, after all, I am a vampire," he admitted with an awkward chuckle.She pretended to laugh as the tension between them increased, but then her smile was replaced by a frown between her brows, and the tension between them increased even more "So, what would you eat while you are here at our castle? There is no way we can tell anyone that you are a vampire!""I considered it as well and gave it a thought, but I could not come up with a viable solution. I cannot leave the castle every day to deliver the meals to someone, nor can I throw them away because the servants would become suspicious of me. I am also unable to consume the food, so I don't know what to do." Dillion let out a long, deep sigh."How about I help you with this?" she asked, with a smile on her face."Ahh... That will be an honor, but how, your highness?" Dillion looked her in the
The princess made her way down the corridor to the chamber of Duke Raphael. Before Princess Sabrina entered the chamber, his servants announced her arrival."Uncle, why did you call me?" The princess bowed her head in front of the Duke."It is because, today, I have received a letter from Serena. She also has something to say to you, so take a look at it." A letter from the Duke was presented to the Princess.Princess Sabrina took the letter from Duke Raphael and opened it up to read the letter about what the Duchess had written to her.The letter stated, 'Sabrina, I hope you are doing well and following the prescribed routine by me. When I return home, I expect to see significant changes in your behaviour. Also, have you already tested the men and selected the most suitable servant for you? The results and records of the test should be available for viewing immediately upon my return, and you must bring your servant along with you so that I can see him for myself. I will be returning
"Um... I am just curious about that... because I think I am going to need some blood..." She stammered as she spoke.Her words were being closely observed by all of the maids who were present in the dining room at the time.As if she were trying desperately to come up with a reasonable explanation for her statement, "Actually, I will be in the process of conducting some experiments, very soon. I was reading a medicine book last night, and our doctors used blood to create a magical medicine, which I found interesting.""Are medicines prepared with blood? Do they contain blood?" one of the princess's maids inquired as she cringed."Ah, no! Please don't think that! It is just a unique type of medicine that I would like to experiment with and see for myself if that medicine is effective." Princess Sabrina provided clarification."So you are going to need blood for your experiments, my lady?" Rosie inquired once more."Rosie, you are correct. Is there blood or blood chambers anywhere in th
"I shall allow her to sleep as it appears to be that she is exhausted as well. I will ask her when she wakes up." He muttered and sighed."However, your highness, I am also sleeping here because I am exhausted too and there is only one bed in my room," he said to the sleeping princess Sabrina.And he lay down next to her, and closed his eyes.All of a sudden, an arm was draped around his neck making his eyes pop open as he realised what had happened. It was the princess who slept with her arm draped over his shoulder."What are you doing, your highness?" he whispered in a low voice so as not to startle her in her sleep.He did not, however, receive a response. 'This isn't going to work,' he thought. 'It appears that I will have to wake her highness up because if this continues, neither of us will be able to sleep well.'Dillion turned around and turned on the bedside lamp before he held the arms of the princess who snaked his neck, he gently shook her and woke her up.Princess Sabrina
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
