Enchanting the Prince Chapter 46: Lily
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. “

To say I was shocked that both Shengis and Haijen said they would fight for me, would be an understatement. “Why?” I ask them. “Like you.” Shengis says. “Nice to us.” Haijen adds. “So, it’s because I’m nice, not because I’m a Princess or the future queen?” “That too.” Haijen says. I sit down on the tree trunk, making myself comfortable. Dominic seems fascinated with the trolls. He sits right beside me, Tailha standing behind him, watching the interaction. “So, where are the rest of your people?” I ask. “Gone.” Shengis says and turns his head to the side, looking forlorn. “Gone where? Did they pass away.” “Pass into earth.” Haijen says. I look at Tailha and Dominic. That sounds like they’ve died. It’s Buppig that comes to stand beside me who asks a different way. “Did they die and go into the earth, or did they just become one with the earth?” “One with earth.” Haijen says and he starts to say something else, when Hera and I smell something off. My head whips in the direct

As the trolls get reacquainted with each other, my group travels across the tree bridge. Interestingly, of all the places where a troll awakened, none were under the bridge. It makes me wonder if Shengis and Haijen knew exactly where their brethren were located. As we get to the other side, I walk to the cliff’s edge. I watch a moment, not wanting to interrupt their happy reunion, when Shengis looks up and sees me. “Princess!” He says coming over to me, dragging two of the trolls with him. He points to the first one he was hugging. “Yishi. Wife.” Then he points to the other one. “Vinjin. Daughter.” “Yishi, Vinjin. It’s an honor to meet you.” I say, not really sure how to address a troll properly. They look at Shengis. “Princess save trolls.” He tells them. “Oh, I….” And before I can do anything more, Yishi reaches out a hand and snatches me off the cliff. I hear Dominic snarl behind me, but I quickly tell him I’m okay. She’s not hurting me, she just startled me. Yishi shouts so

I hadn’t meant what I’d said to Lily. Lorelai’s words had been in my head, calling her a child, and they had spilled out when Lily stood up to me. There was nothing about Lily that was a child in my eyes. There had been, for a long time, but now, all I could see was my mate. My beautiful, mature mate, who I must protect with everything I am, my life, if needed. I’d had a moment of absolute pride in my mate. No one has ever stood up to my anger like that, and she didn’t show an ounce of fear. It had taken everything in me not to pull her in my arms and kiss her with with the passion I feel for her. But that would have encouraged her to stay with me, and I couldn’t have that. Then when she smacked me, she nearly knocked me off my feet. I’ve never felt that kind of strength before either. She’s right, I’m not giving her credit for being as strong as she is. But it’s more than that. My fear that Lorelai had actually killed her, had made me lose control of myself. Worse, I’d lost control

When we arrive back in Araphyra, we leave Dominic and Tialha at their place before returning to the castle. I notice that Alpha Christopher and Fanella have started to build their own home near Dominic and Tialha's. When I get to the castle, Ailduin is waiting for me. “Lily, I expect to be informed if you are planning to leave Araphyra. I cannot keep you safe if you don’t tell me of your plans.” I stop when I get up to him. He, like Aolis, may be more than a foot taller than I am, but I’m not intimidated by his height. "No, I don’t think so, King Ailduin. Both you and your son seem to have forgotten what and who I am. So until the both of you can learn to respect that I am a Guardian, an Alpha female in my own right, I don’t think I need to let you know my whereabouts.” I turn, walking into the castle. “Buppig, we need to begin working on the second prophecy tomorrow.” I say without turning around. I head back to my room and unpack my bag, furious that not only is Aolis treating

The next day, when I get to the library, I'm ready to begin figuring out the second prophecy. I know it says I will die, but, I’m not afraid to die. Especially if I die saving my mate. When Buppig and I walk in, I show him the change in the book cover. “I agree with King Ailduin. I think it’s because you have fulfilled the prophecy. In addition, I have to think that as you fulfill the other prophecies, it will continue to change color until it’s completely iron colored.” “I guess that makes sense.” I say, opening the book. “Did you want to review the fourth prophecy, Princess?” He asks quietly. I look at him. “No, not particularly. There’s no way it’s about me. But I do have one question. Who is the last of her kind?” His eyes go wide with obvious excitement, and he comes to sit down next to me. “Well, of course, we don’t know for sure, not until the prophecy comes to light. But we all think it’s about Lucero.” “Who?” I ask, frowning. “No one has told you about Lucero?” “Buppig

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

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
