Aidinth and I started to stand up, but Aidinth stopped, "Dad, you never answered our original question." King Uther smiled, "Of course, the answer is yes." Queen Chumani asked, "Yes to what?" King Uther replied, "Chloe would like to be changed. Just like you did." I asked, "You weren't always a dragon?" She laughed, "No. I was a Lycan before. That's why it has been so easy to accept you as princess, my dear." I smiled, "I had no idea." She sighed, "Let's take a walk." She and I walked with Trina and the girls behind us. I asked, "Do you not want me to change?" She chuckled, "Oh heavens, no! That's not why we are walking! I would love for you to change. You just need to be aware of some things that will happen when you do." I laughed, "Okay. I would love this kind of talk. I feel like I'm flying blind; no pun intended." She laughed, "I understand. When I changed, it was forbidden for a wolf and a dragon to be mates. Uther and I kept it secret until he changed me. it wasn't known that
He carried me to our room, and it's just as I remember it. I am totally exhausted, to be honest. I just didn't want to admit it out loud. I would like a shower, but I really am too tired for that. I get undressed and get in bed. Aidinth slips in beside me and I snuggle close to him. "Mmm," he mumbles, "I have been missing being able to be this close to you to hold you." I kiss him sweetly, "I've missed you holding me like this. That hospital bed felt lonely. I love you, Aidinth." He smiled, "I love you too, Chloe, more than you could ever imagine." I nodded and was out like a light. It seemed like I had just closed my eyes when a bright light appeared before my eyes, "Hello, my child." I smiled, "Hello, Selene. So, you're the reason I was too tired to shower." She laughed, "Yes. I am. Your mate will be joining us in just a moment." Aidinth appeared next to me. He was looking around and I tapped his shoulder. He looked at me, smiled, and asked, "This isn't a dream, is it?" I
After dinner, we sat in the sitting room with King Uther and Queen Chumani. We were looking at more of my visions, when I saw one that made me smile. I realized that I had been having visions of myself for years without even knowing it. It was my crowning ceremony. I don't know when I had this vision, but I can tell from the quality of the drawing that I was very young. It's a picture of King Uther, Queen Chumani at his side, crowning me, with Aidinth at my side. King Uther is placing the crown on my head. I look at the other people in the sketch, and I notice a child, smiling, in the front row. It's Kimber. Now I know she is going to be just fine, as long as she listens to her doctors. King Uther shows another one to me. It's a place I do not know, with dragons flying all over the place as something floods the ground below. I look closer, and it looks like a volcano is erupting. I furrowed my brows, "I know this isn't here. We do not have palm trees. Could it be Florida or
I wake up the next morning with a prominent ache between my thighs. We spent half the night tangled up in each other making love in several different ways. At times it was hot, at times it was gentle, there were other times it was rough. I lost count of how many times we made love and I definitely lost count of how many times he sent me over the edge. I tried to get up, but Aidinth held me tighter. I look at the clock and it is six-thirty. I would really like to be at the hospital by eight am, so I try to lift his arm off me, when I hear, "Trying to get away from me so early, sweet mate?" I laugh, "I'm trying to get to the bathroom so that I can take a shower. I would really like to be at the hospital between eight and eight-thirty. She is supposed to go back for surgery at nine." He sighed, "Okay. I will let you up on one condition." I eye him suspiciously, "What's that?" He rasped, "You have to let me take a shower with you." I asked, "Have I said no to that offer yet?" He laughed
Aidinth took the doll to the shop owner and asked if this was done intentionally. She said that she had a bunch made to celebrate the new Princess. She started to apologize, but Aidinth beamed, "Do not apologize for this. They're amazing. Chloe, these would be a likeness of you, in doll form, that the little girls in our family can have and hold for generations. I picked one up, signed it, and gave it to the shop owner. I told her, "You're welcome to keep it or sell it. It's fine with me, either way." She hugged me, "I will keep it. Thank you, Princess." Aidinth bought five of them, while I added an extra one for Kimber. I shook my head at him and asked, "What are you going to do with these?" He laughed, "I'm holding on to them until our children and grandchildren are born." I just laughed at him and shook my head, "Okay, so what do you want to do for lunch?" He asked, "How about we go to the town cafe?" I asked, "There's a cafe here?" He nodded, "Yeah, and it's pretty good." I grab
When I got off the phone with King Uther, I asked for her name, the mother's name and the little boy's name. I wanted to be able to tell her that everything is going to be okay. I yelled, "Hey! Queen Eden! Can you help me please?" I asked the little girl to come here for a moment and Queen Eden appeared. The little girl, Tanis, and her mother, Hydra, were in shock when they saw an angel. I picked up Tanis, and greeted, "Queen Eden, I would like you to meet Tanis and her mother, Hydra. Ladies, this is Eden, Queen of the Angels." Tanis asked, "Do you know my cousin, Wadon?" Queen Eden smiled, "I do know him. He just arrived in my kingdom two days ago. Is his mother here?" Hydra added, "She will be here in a second." Just then a woman with a tear-stained face walked up to us. She saw Queen Eden and fell at her feet. "I am so sorry!" Queen Eden helped her stand and comforted her, "Belinda, you have nothing to be sorry for. Ladon knows he did the wrong thing by trying to fly with
When we got the hospital, Aidinth and I walked into Kimber's room, and she was sitting up and smiling. I greeted, "There she is! How are you feeling, sweetheart?" She rasps, "I'm feeling okay. I might get to go home tomorrow, but I won't get to go to back to school for a week." I consoled her, "Well, at least you're going to get to be home, and eat soup and lay around and watch TV all day." She smiled, "Yeah. I kinda wish I had a TV in my room." I asked, "When you're not feeling good, your own bed is the comfiest place there is, isn't it?” She smiled, "Or in my daddy's arms." I agreed, "You are correct on that one. I lost my daddy when I was your age, but I still remember feeling so safe when he hugged me or held me." She smiled and nodded. "Prince Aidinth and I have something for you," I continued, "First, we have this." I gave her a gift bag, and she pulled out the Princess doll. She hugged it tightly and giggled, "She is beautiful, and her dress is my favorite color!" I beamed, "
I covered my mouth with my hand and started crying. Aidinth rubbed my back and pulled me close. Tanis handed a tissue to me, "I knew you would cwy, becauthe you love uth all. Tho, I had a tithue weady fo you." I laughed through my tears and lifted her to my lap, "You are the best medicine for a sad moment. Do you know that?" Tanis nodded, "When my mommy is thad, she always wants me on her wap." I laugh, "You are such a treasure. Do you know if you're an Omega? I don't mean what people call the lowest of the low, either. I real Omega has the power to calm people." Her mother nodded her head. I nodded, "I see. Well, Tanis, it looks like you and I will be getting together a lot when you get older. We need to make sure you are trained with your Omega powers. Okay?" She nodded. I looked at Hydra, "Should we go see Belinda's widower? I suppose we should make it a double funeral." It was then that King Uther and Queen Chumani walked in. Queen Chumani gasped, "Please tell me she did
Aidinth and I spent the next three hours talking with Hydra and watching the kids play at the park. Finally, Aidinth stood, "Okay, guys, time for lunch. We need to go back to the castle for now." Hydra offered, "I can get the funeral arrangements done." I shook my head, "Heavens no. We will get that done after lunch. You concentrate on taking care of that sweet little treasure of yours... and maybe checking on Drago and the kids." She nodded, "I will. Thank you for everything." We all smiled, "goodbye," and got in the car to go back to the castle. We kept hearing Brenna and Ity talk about the park and asking if I could do that at the castle. I told them that it would be up to their parents, and it would have to wait until later.We ate lunch with King Uther and Queen Chumani, while listening to Brenna and Ity beg their father to let me put a park on the castle grounds. Finally, he agreed, "I see no reason why we couldn't do that, but if I hear you two bugging Chloe abou
