After King Tatsuo left our room, Aidinth and I ate our breakfast, then I decided I had better start getting ready to go. After I showered, I walked into our closet and put on the most basic, black, long sleeve dress I had. I put on my black knee-length boots and walked to my makeup table. I blow dried my hair and put it in a high bun. I kept makeup to a minimum, doing nothing with my eyes, because I knew I would have streaks of makeup running down my face, if I did. I turned around and Aidinth cooed, "Stunning." I laughed, "I don't understand. I literally have no makeup on, this dress is as basic as they come, and my hair is just in a bun. What is so stunning about me right now?" He smiled, "You. The fact that you are beautiful on the outside, the fact that you are a beautiful person. The fact that you glow because you are carrying my children. All of it. The clothes you wear, the way you wear your hair, and the amount of makeup you wear is not what makes you beautiful. You radiate
We went back to the castle and walked straight to our room. I sighed, "Ugh! That was hard to get through." He agreed, "Yeah. That's the thing about suicide. Not only is it a permanent solution to a temporary problem, but it's also a pretty selfish solution to a problem." I nodded, "True, but when you're the one going through the problem, it's not so easy to get through. And I would say having a child pass away is a pretty permanent problem. Don't you think?" He looked at me curiously, "Chloe, is there something you would like to tell me about?" I confessed, "I tried committing suicide when I was younger. The only reason I wasn't successful is my werewolf healing." He sat on the bed and pulled me onto his lap, "Why and how?" I answered, "When I was thirteen, things started piling up on me. I was being bullied in school, I was having horrific visions and I had no way to process them. I knew nothing about what was happening to me, except that all of these people in these vision
As Aidinth started the car and put it in gear, he asked, "So what was that thing you just did with my parents?" I asked, "The holding hands thing?" He nodded and I told him, "Well, your mom was in the sitting room, crying, when we saw her. When I went to your dad's office, he had tears falling. I felt like they should be supporting each other instead of hiding the tears from each other." He took my hand and kissed it, "You really are a special kind of Princess, Chloe. My family is so lucky to have you in it and I am the luckiest for getting to live with you for the rest of my life." I shrugged, "I'm not that special. I did what any loving person would do." He shook his head, "That's the thing; there really aren't many loving people around, anymore." We drove up a mountain, and I started seeing absolutely beautiful scenery. It almost took my breath away. When we got over the treetops, I could see the beautiful deep, dark green of all the evergreens and the oranges, yellows an
When he opened the French doors leading to our bedroom, I gasped. It was huge! As soon as I walked in, I looked to my left and saw a big, fluffy couch that had bookshelves on one end and behind it, with a fireplace centered between two sets of bookcases. The entire wall, opposite the door, was windows. They were massive and led to the most amazing view! The view overlooked the cliff and the scenery below. When I looked to my left, I could see our king-size bed facing the wall of windows. I do love the idea of waking up to that view. Along the other wall, there are two sets of French doors. I open one set to find any woman's dream closet. It's the size of a small bedroom! Two walls have hanging rods on either side. The wall on the end has a series of shelves and drawers, with shoe racks all the way across that wall, from the floor to about three feet high! I doubt that I will ever need this much shoe space. There is also a considerable size bench to sit on while you dress in
I could smell that it was a wild wolf and not a werewolf or a rogue wolf. I reached out and he walked to me and let me pet him. I asked, "You are so sweet. Do you sense Saige? Is that why you're so friendly?" He looked back toward the tree line, and I asked, "What's wrong?" He walked toward the tree line, and I followed him. He stopped just inside the woods and looked to his left. I looked in that direction and there was another wolf lying on the ground. I walked up to her, and she just whimpered at me. She was pregnant and I asked, "What's up little mama?" I examined her closer and realized the first pup was breach. I cringed, "I have to do this sweetie, don’t bite me mom or dad." I reached in with two fingers and turned the pup to where he was headfirst. Mama pushed hard, and he almost came flying out. I caught him, laughing, and massaged his little body until he started whimpering. I put him close to mama and noticed there was another one coming out already. This one was white. I
I woke the next morning in our bed and immediately had to run to bathroom. As I started throwing up, Aidinth held my hair back for me. After I was done, I told him, "I hope this isn't going to be how I start my day every day for the rest of my pregnancy." He asked, "Do I need to contact the doctor and get you some medicine?" I shook my head, "No, it's only once a day. It could be a lot worse." I should probably just keep a couple crackers by the bed. My grandma said that helps. Aidinth shrugged, "Okay." After he walked out, I brushed my teeth and put on my robe. I walk out of the bathroom and asked, "How about some breakfast omelets?" He smiled, "That sounds awesome." I walk downstairs and start breakfast. I'm chopping ham into cubes, when Aidinth walks in and asks, "Anything I can help with?" I smiled, "Sure, you can chop the onions and bell peppers for me." He started chopping the onion, and asked, "Is this okay?" I nodded, "That's great." I started whipping the eggs while
When I opened my eyes, I saw those hypnotizing green eyes that I fell in love with on first sight. "Welcome back," Aidinth smirked. I smiled, "Thank you. This is so amazing." Selene was still standing there when I turned to her, "Thank you, Selene. My dragon is beautiful and is definitely getting along with Saige." She smiled, "I knew they would. They complement each other well. If you do need them to quiet down, you will need to strengthen your wall. Just imagine the wall you normally put up for Saige, but with stronger materials." I nodded, "I will do that." She asked, "Are you ready for your first shift?" I nodded, "I am." I turned to Aidinth, "Just wait until you see her." He smiled, "I can't wait. But I need to know if I can take a picture of her. Dad wants me to send him one." I smiled, "Of course." I undressed and got down on all fours and let Kina come forward. As I shifted, it was slightly painful, but not really too bad. It did feel weird on my skin, growing scales
Our week at the house was a dream come true. I learned to fly and got very good at it. Rex and Kina got to play in the sky for a few days, before it was time to come home. We've been back at the castle for a week and now I am in full preparations mode for the crowning ceremony. I have two days until the ceremony, and I am so excited. The crowning ceremony is a lot like a wedding. It binds the prince and the princess together for life. The mate bond already does that, but the ceremony is to let the entire world know that we are bound together for life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I have already started decorating the ballroom, and the crown was just delivered. It is exactly the way I wanted it. I think the only person more excited than me is Queen Chumani. She has been buzzing around this castle all week making sure that everything is perfect. My grandparents and my brother are coming up today. I hope my stepbrothers will be here too. I kinda miss them. My plan for
My eyes got wide, "That's right! We haven't told them yet!" Everyone looked at us and I announced, "We have something to tell you all. We are going to be parents!" Grandma narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "You're not telling us all of it. I can see that you're holding something back. What's wrong?" Aidinth and I laughed as I added, "Nothing is wrong, grandma. We're having triplets!" Grandma jumped up and clapped her hands. Grandpa sat in his chair, smiling with his mouth wide open in surprise. Zeb jumped up and hugged me as he yelled, "I'm gonna be an uncle times three!" I laughed at him as he hugged Aidinth. When he pulled back, I notice tears falling. I asked, "Are those happy tears?" He nodded, "I'm happy for you, sis. You deserve all the happiness in the world after everything you've been through." By the time he was done, I looked around and my whole family was trying to choke back tears. I chuckled, "Goodness, y’all, you're going to make me start bawling!" Everyone started laug
