A month after I met Dominic and Tialha, Alpha Christopher, Fanella and their daughters arrive in Araphyra. I join Ailduin and Anastasia in welcoming them. “Guardian Lily, or are you Princess Lily now?” Alpha Christopher greets me. “Alpha Christopher. It’s so good to see you again. And please, call me Lily.” “I will if you call me Christopher.” “Deal.” I move to Fanella, hugging her close. It’s always been interesting to me that once a sprite is mated, they can take the form of their mate. While sprites look like a fairy that glows with a light from inside, they are only about a foot to a foot and a half tall. However, once they mate with wolves, most choose to take a human form. They become shifters like us, able to shift into a human form that is around five feet tall or back into their spritely form as they choose. “Oh, it’s so good to see you Lady Princess Lily. Me and my girls were so excited when we heard you would be here.” Fanella says to me. Fanella was one of the origin

When I walk into the dining room, Alpha Christopher looks up at me and frowns. I know my lips twitch as I turn to Ailduin. “You need to bring in extra staff for the Techrechauns today.” I tell him. “Why is that?” Ailduin asks me. I turn and look at Christopher. “Because not only is Buppig mated to Christopher and Fanella’s daughter, but so are his three brothers.” “My girls found their mates?” Fanella says, her hand going to her heart, her eyes wide. “They did. Buppig and his brothers are good leprechauns. They were very happy to find their mates. They will be good to them.” I say. Christopher stands, pulling Fanella into his lap and holding her against him, kissing the top of her head. “You knew it was possible, love. This is a good thing.” She turns her head into her chest. “But they’ll be so far away.” I hear her say, tearfully. Christopher looks up at Ailduin. “Maybe we move sooner than we anticipated.” He says and I see Ailduin nod his head in agreement. After lunch, Chri

When I get back to the castle, I collapse onto my bed. I’m so exhausted that I don’t even bother pulling off my clothes or my shoes. The next morning, I wake as usual and drag myself to training. If Samlael notices my exhaustion, he doesn’t say anything, but he pushes me hard, like he always does. When I return to the castle, I go to have breakfast with Ailduin and Anastasia as usual. When I arrive, Christopher and Fanella are also seated having breakfast. I’m about to tell them what happened last night, when the door bursts open and four sprites with four leprechaun mates come racing into the room. “Mother, mother look.” “Isn’t it beautiful?” “It’s a four-leaf clover.” “Because they are lephrechauns.” The girls all rush to their mother, showing the glowing mark on their chest, over their hearts. It is indeed a four-leaf clover. I look over at their four mates, who are also proudly wearing their glowing rings on their chests. Ailduin looks over at the four leprechauns who are

It’s been too long since I’ve spoken to Lily. The pull of the mate bond is almost impossible to ignore. But I will fight it, knowing that if she hears even the slightest sound of fighting in the background, she’ll try to get to me. Once we heard that Lorelai killed her parents, we began marching on Eventide. We’ve basically surrounded the land and have been fighting against her and her people for the last month. I keep my father informed, but what I really want is to speak to Lily. Or even more importantly, I want to touch her. My nightmare of Lily dying is now a daily occurrence, leaving me exhausted and irritable. I’ve just returned from another battle with Eventide when I see a call from my father. “Hello father.” I answer. “Aolis. How is it going?” “Not well. Did you send troops to the other townships?” “Yes. Some were struggling and some had started to go dark. We’ve been able to insert ourselves and help the ones who needed it and bring those going dark back to the light.”

I’m still angry at Aolis the next morning, and when I step outside, ready to meet up with Christopher and Fanella, I’m even angrier. Standing there, beside their car are two elvish guards. There’s no other way to describe them. They are dressed for battle, they have swords on their hips and spears in their hands. They are standing at attention and I notice that they refuse to make eye contact with me. “What is this about?” I ask Ailduin. “You are the future queen of Araphyra, Lily. It only makes sense that you would have an armed escort when you leave our lands.” Ailduin makes it sound so casual, as if this is just standard operating procedure, not Aolis being overprotective. “Fine, but I don’t think they’ll fit.” “Lily, I had four of my daughters in this vehicle on the way here, I think I can fit one Princess and two of her guards.” Christopher says. I give him a dirty look and he just smirks at me. He’s enjoying this. I roll my eyes, but toss my bag in the back and climb in. A

When I get the text from Lily that she’s back in Araphyra, something releases around my heart. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I had worried that she really was leaving me. My father had confirmed that he’d sent the two guards, so I felt better about her safety, but knowing she had returned home made me feel an unignorable urge to speak with her. Rather than fight against it, I dial her number. “Aolis.” She answers. This time, it’s a warmer greeting. “You got home safely?” “I told you I did.” She says and I realize, she means Araphyra. I had meant Safe Haven and the packs. It warms my heart to hear her calling Araphyra her home. “And your trip to Safe Haven, how was that?” I ask. “It was good. It’s nice to see family and friends. Clint is going to become Emerson’s Beta when he turns 18, Leana was there and I got to talk to her and then I went back to Canyon Ridge with mom and dad for a night. I picked up some of my things and had to switch out my car so I could bring my goon sq

“Okay, so we know the first three lines are referencing the trolls.” I say. When those that have become more earth and animal Begin to rise again But what does that mean, more earth than animal?” I ask, looking at Buppig. “Well, you saw how they look like boulders. Maybe it’s referencing that? They practically fade into the background when they are laying on the ground against the walls of the ravine.” He says. I make notes, wanting to see it again, looking at it from the perspective of the prophecy. It will announce the beginning of the end And the peace within the land will wane “I think we realize that this is about the war with Lorelai. Peace is definitely waning. And I'm not sure I'm ready to think about what the beginning of the end means.” “It’s not your fault, Princess.” Buppig says quietly. “Call me Lily, Buppig.” “I can’t, Princess. I’ve tried, but you act too much like a princess and a future queen.” I roll my eyes at him. “Okay, when you do that, I can call y

“Queen Lorelai. Your majesty.” Ugh, being a ruler is so tedious. “Yes, what do you want?” I ask my soldier who comes rushing into the throne room. That’s not what my father called it, but I’ve had them make me a throne fit for a queen, so that’s what it is. “Your majesty. We were out patrolling the lands as you have requested.” “Yes.” I say, already bored with this line of discussion. “She’s there, by the ravine.” “Who’s there?” I ask, still looking out the window at Aolis’s camp. I better not see any more greenery. “Princess Lily.” I whip around to look at my soldiers. “Are you sure it’s her?” “Yes, my Queen. She is with a few others, a wolf, an elf, a leprechaun and a sprite.” I throw my head back and laugh. “Ailduin let her out of Araphyra without a guard? Oh, this is perfect.” I turn back around, looking at Aolis. Yes, now is the time for me to make my move. He will suffer, but I’ll let him live, and he will know what true grief feels like. I turn back to my soldiers. “

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

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
