CooperWow, even in dreams Lily can cause Aolis to put the forest in full bloom! I'm guessing Lorelai won't be happy about that. Updates daily.

We woke to the sun shining in our face and a large number of differing snores in our ears. ‘They’ve been snoring for hours.’ Hera says. I can tell she’s tired, but amused. ‘I wonder what it is about you that makes you feel warm to them. I mean, they are fae. Shouldn’t they all have light? Wouldn’t that be warm?’ ‘No idea. Something to ask Aolis. Or maybe, he can show us if his light is warm.’ She says, purring. The purring starts to wake the fae creatures burrowed around her. “Oh, good morning Guardian Hera.” A fairy says stretching. “Mmmm, the best night’s sleep I’ve ever had.” “Except for the other night when we slept with her.” “Yes, two nights of the best sleep ever.” “I want a wolf who will love me and let me sleep with them every night.” The sprites all wake up, talking as one. “Ohhh, I feel so soft and malleable.” One of the dryad’s says, standing and stretching. She turns, looking at Hera. “Thank you so much Guardian Hera.” She leans in and kisses Hera’s nose before

As soon as I walk into the breakfast room, I’m assaulted. “How could you! How could you make a mockery of me by making the fields, the forest and the mountains bloom?” Lorelai yells. “I cannot control my emotions in my sleep, Lorelai.” I say to her. “Have you no respect for me?” She asks, slapping her hand against my chest. “Of course, I do. This was not intentional.” “But thoughts of me never did that.” She scoffs, pointing outside. “And she’s not even here. I know, I asked my guards. She left yesterday and still, I wake to this insult.” “Lorelai, I did not intend to insult you.” “How? How Aolis. Explain it to me. How can she have this kind of impact on you when she’s not even here?” By the end, she’s screaming at me. “Lorelai.” Her mother says, trying to calm her. “No, mother. I want to know. I want to know how a child has so much power over our Prince.” “Watch yourself, Lorelai.” I say and my voice has gone hard. “Or what, Aolis? You’ll leave me at the alter? You’ll embar

After getting my phone and calling Aolis, I curled up in the bed in my room. It’s the room I’ve stayed in the on the couple of occasions I’ve stayed here. Aolis asked if I wanted to stay in his room and I think I’ll take him up on it. I miss his smell and maybe being in his room will help me sleep better. I wake early and find Ailduin and Anastasia having breakfast together. “Please, join us.” Anastasia says to me. Anastasia is an Alpha werewolf female like me. Unlike me, she is not a Guardian, but was obviously meant to be a Queen. Her love for her mate, and his for her, is undeniable. Even if you didn’t see it in the way they look at each other, it is obvious from the flowers that are in constant bloom all over Araphyra. “What do you have planned for today, Lily?” Ailduin asks me just as Buppig walks in. “Buppig, please join us.” Ailduin says before turning back to me. “Well, I want to start learning the history of Araphyra and the surrounding townships. I want to learn the layo

The day after Lorelai screamed at me, I didn’t see her. Rather than stay inside the castle, I went out into the town. The people didn’t outright shun me, but they weren’t receptive to me either. They were as polite as they had to be. My favorite part of the day was when I could speak to Lily at night. I would listen to her day, the stories of the happenings in her life and it was like nothing had changed between us. I was her confidant, her home. And now, she was mine. While I didn’t want to worry her, I needed to be honest that things here were not good. She has asked me every day if she needs to come, to protect me and I decline. While I would love nothing more than to have my mate here, I know that will only make things worse. Plus, Guardian or no, I won’t put my mate’s life in danger. After saying goodnight to Lily, I lay in bed, thinking of what our life will be like when I return to Araphyra. I’ve just about fallen asleep when I hear the doorknob on my door turn and the door c

I finally had a chance to ask Buppig what was up with him and Ailduin and why it felt like there was always a push and pull between them. “He wasn’t happy that I left the castle.” I think about that for a minute but I’m not sure how to respond without asking for more information. “May I ask why? I’m assuming you left because of your relationship with your family?” I ask, trying not to be too pushy with my questions. He sighs, sitting down beside me. “I’m the youngest of my family. When Weddeg came of age, our parents wanted to move back to Ireland. They had lived there many years ago and still consider it their homeland. The rest of us were born here, in Araphyra, and wanted to stay. Weddeg agreed to look after us.” He smiles, his eyes lost in some memory. “He’s brilliant with electronics. He was the first to get King Ailduin to start using them. My brothers, there’s another one you haven’t met yet, all followed in his footsteps. They are all very good at what they do. Hazdil obv

After Lorelai left Eventide, Aolis wasn’t able to speak to me daily like we had been. I had tried calling him the night I spoke to Anastasia, but he didn’t answer. I left him a message letting him know I loved him and that we needed to talk. Instead of letting myself become lost and lonely, I threw myself into my studies, making Buppig proud, and learning the ways of sword fighting. Samlael was an excellent fighter and an even better teacher. He was patient and kind with me, but he didn’t go easy on me. For the first month, my muscles were so sore that without Hera’s healing power, I don’t think I would have been able to lift the sword the next day. But I am a Guardian, and an Alpha female and thankfully, I heal and I learn quickly. Fighting with a sword is strengthening muscles that I didn’t even know I had, much less needed to be stronger. Hera had begged me for weeks to run through the forest, and one night, when I couldn’t sleep, I decided it was time. I have been walking throug

When Lorelai went missing, I met with Lord Elas. “What do you think has happened?” I ask him. “Prince Aolis. She is angry, hurt. I thought by now, she would have come to understand, but….” He shrugs. I have come to understand in my time here in Eventide that Lorelai holds the power. Her father was a great ruler at one time, but his time has passed. Lorelai is the one the people look to for guidance. And now, she is trying to turn them against me. “She may be angry and hurt, Lord Elas, but now she is turning my people against me. She needs to stop now, before what she does can not be undone. If she will not speak to me, she can speak to my father. I have told her this, but she refuses to listen.” “My wife has also spoken to her, but she will not listen. She has become angry with us as well. She feels we have betrayed her.” In the two months that I’ve been traveling around my lands, trying to get information on Lorelai’s whereabouts, there have been three assassination attempts on

It’s the morning that Aolis is due to arrive back home. I’m so excited that I can barely contain myself. I make it to training but Samlael can tell I’m distracted. He smiles at me. “The Prince is coming home, today, correct?” He asks me. I smile so brightly, my face feels like it will split in two. “Yes!” He chuckles. “Go on, then. You won’t be mindful enough to spar today and I’d hate to ruin your reputation as a Guardian by defeating you over and over.” “Thanks, Samlael.” I say, reaching up to kiss his cheek. He blushes slightly before nodding. I forget, the elves aren’t touchy people. Thankfully, Samlael seems more embarrassed than angry with my actions. I race back to the castle to have breakfast with Ailduin and Anastasia as I’ve been doing every day since I got back from Eventide nearly three months ago. I’ve just sat down and started to eat when Buppig comes stomping in. “Why din ya tell me Hera received the blessin’ of the Ceryneian Hind?” I can tell he’s upset because

Enchanting the Prince Author's Note
Hi Everyone! Thanks for reading Enchanting the Prince. I hope you enjoyed this second book in the Guardian's Next Generation series. I saw several of you ask if Leana and Drake would get their own book. They will, but not before Xander and Maeve get their book. Look for Spellbound in early March. This story will back up in time to show you how Maeve lost her parents and how she came to work for Beta Trevor and Gwen. As with ETP, there will be some crossover with times and events from Shattered Bonds as Spellbound will cover the war from the witch's side. Leana and Drake's as yet untitled book should be out early summer. I also have plans for a novella for Malin and Cohen, Quinn and Emerson and possibly Riley and Clint's stories. Reagan, the youngest of Angel and Liam's children will have her own book late in the year and Hope, mentioned in the last epilogue will also have her own book, The Hybrid's Hope, planned for early next year. For a complete list of my books and scheduled rele
Enchanting the Prince Epilogue 2: Lily
100 years later There is a price to pay when you are mated to an immortal, or near immortal. Eventually, you have to bury every member of your family. My parents and the last generation of Guardians who were gifted with a Guardian spirit have gone to be with the Moon Goddess. They all came to me when they passed away, on their way to their final resting place. My father, in particular, took his time saying goodbye to me, neither of us wanting to say our final goodbye. It was only when my mother came to get him, that he finally said goodbye. My siblings and most of the others in my generation have also gone to the Moon Goddess's realm. Now, there is only me, Leana and a handful of others. I'm thankful that my dear friend is also mated to a supernatural that lives an exceptionally long time. She and I have had each other to help us through our grieving process as we’ve said goodbye to our loved ones. In an interesting turn of events, we realized that all werewolves who are mated to a
Enchanting the Prince Epilogue 1: Aolis
Two years later After our coronation ceremony, I had met with Illithor. Since Lorelai had put Phiren into my council seat, I had gone back and reviewed all the decisions that were made while I was away. Illithor had voted exactly as I would have. So, it wasn’t until Phiren had been put into the seat that things had started to turn. In hindsight, it was lucky that Emlyn had come to Araphyra. If she hadn’t, it may have taken too long for me to realize that Lorelai and Phiren were going against all of the Guardians, not just Lily. Cara and Rik decided to stay in Araphyra after our coronation. Since they are no longer needed to run Canyon Ridge, it gave them time to be with Lily during her pregnancy and Alpha Christopher put Rik to work, helping him to move. As the only other permanent werewolf resident in the fae land besides Lily, Alpha Christopher decided to move to WoodLily to be closer to Dominic. We still see him and Fanella frequently, as they have multiple grandchildren here in
Enchanting the Prince Chapter 81: Lily
To say that Aolis was a proud, soon-to-be papa is an understatement. Suddenly, the floor where our bedroom is, was under construction. A nursery was being custom built. He commissioned all kinds of baby furniture from the sprites, who were more than happy to build furniture for ‘Lady Baby Princess’. Buppig grumbled because they were supposed to be making furniture for him and Hyacinth, but they put it off for our baby. In general, a leprechaun’s gestation period wouldn’t be much longer than a wolves. However, after researching the history of elf/wolf mating gestations, it appears that mine may be a bit longer than normal, six months instead of five. That puts me in the same timeframe of a birth as Hyacinth. After realizing that she and Buppig were due to deliver their child before Aolis and I, I insisted that they have their furniture made first. I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen the sprites move so fast. Hyacinth’s baby furniture was made in less than a month and then everyone was bac

It was good for Lily to be with her family. They were able to see the difference in her immediately, but even I could see that she became her daddy’s girl again while she was home. Having known Lily all my life, I know that the relationship that she shares with Rik has always been special. She’s his first child and his only daughter. I hope that one day, I’ll have the same relationship with my daughter. When she’s ready, we return home. I can tell there is something going on with her, but she’s somehow managed to tuck a piece of her mind away from me. I’m not pushing to have her share. I know she will when she’s ready. What I find most interesting is that both Hera and Lucero seem to be helping her keep the secret from me. I feel Hera rub up against me in our mind. “We love you, mate. Never doubt that.” She says. “I don’t.” I say, running my hand through her fur in our shared consciousness. It’s nice having time with her when she’s not in her form. I had asked my father about it an
Enchanting the Prince Chapter 79: Lily
It was several days before we made it back to Araphyra. As we went around to the townships, healing the land and its people, we also found others that had been imprisoned by Lorelai. While my new found power couldn’t bring back the dead, I was able to ensure that no more families lost their mates, parents or children. When we arrive in Araphyra, the atmosphere was one of celebration and happiness. Everyone surrounds us, wanting to congratulate us on Lorelai’s defeat, thanking me for eliminating the darkness in the land, and for bringing families back together. When I get to the castle steps, Ailduin is there waiting for us. Unlike everyone else, his eyes are not happy and I know something is wrong. “Lily, your father has been trying to reach you. Please call him.” I know my heart rate speeds up. Aolis wraps his arm around me, not taking his eyes off his father. “What happened?” Ailduin looks at him. “It would be best if Lily heard it from her father.” I race inside, going straigh
Enchanting the Prince Chapter 78: Aolis
The next morning, I wake, wrapped up around my mate. Last night was the most incredible night of my life. I’m not sure if it was all four of us participating mentally, or if it is that Lily has finally, fully accepted her place as the future queen of Araphyra, but I’ve never had that intense of an orgasm. I had thought it couldn’t get better than our first night, but every time I’m with Lily, it gets better and better. However, this morning, we are going to war. I know that Lily is right, that it is time, but it doesn’t mean that I’m not concerned that I’m putting my mate in danger. It goes against everything in me to allow her to be on the front lines of a battle such as this one. “I will be fine, Aolis.” Lily says in my mind. I look down at her as I hear Hera echo her sentiments. “Trust us, mate.” “We are stronger than you know.” Lucero’s ancient, melodic voice floats into the conversation. “I didn’t mean to wake you.” I say, leaning down to kiss her. “It’s time. Time for a lea
Enchanting the Prince Chapter 77: Lily
The moment Aolis told me it was time to pull the sword, I felt it. It was time. And when I pulled the sword, feeling the power flow through it, through Lucero, through Hera, I felt the connection to every fae creature in the land. Every sprite, every fairy, every leprechaun, every troll, all of them are now connected to me, in my mind and in my heart. Hera, Lucero and I all agreed that the time had come for Alpha Dominic to stand again. I wasn’t sure what I needed to do, until I felt the power begin to flow from the spot on my forehead where Lucero had touched me. From there, it flowed down my body, connecting with Hera’s power, pooling them together before combining with mine and flowing into the sword and into Dominic’s body. Like before, I could feel his pain, feel his suffering, but unlike before, my strength and power pushed it aside. Instead of commanding Dominic to shift, like I had before, I quietly suggested that it was time. His body responded instantly and the power flowi
Enchanting the Prince Chapter 76: Aolis
My warriors and I finally decide to trudge home after searching several dead ends to find Lorelai. While we were, at least, able to find another group of hostages that Lorelai had taken, we were not able to find her and what is left of her army. It’s been a week and I’m ready to see my mate. I miss her and while I understand her need to remain in Araphyra, I don’t want to be away from her for too long. We did that before, and now, I think we both understand that we’re stronger together. When I arrive at the castle, I’m disappointed that she isn’t there waiting for me. I know that I shouldn’t expect that she’s sitting around, pining for me, waiting for me to come home, but I did think that she would be here when I returned. My father is here and I greet him, giving him the news that we still have been unable to find Lorelai. “Lily has been wonderful this week, Aolis. You’d be proud of her. She has been in the hospital every day, all day, helping to heal our people.” My father tells
