It has been a week since our birthday party, and I asked Elliot to change me into a wolf. I wouldn’t mind changing into a dragon also, but that is up to him and his grandparents. We let my siblings stay at the house while he and I go to the castle to talk to them. On our way there, we stopped in the town that the castle is in. We get out of the car, and we start walking down Main Street.
Elliot puts his arm around me and pulls me close to him, “There is a bakery here that my parents go to every time they’re in town. We have to go there for a treat. Then he pointed to a park across the street from where we are, “See that park? My mom built that. She saw that the kids around here didn’t have anything to do, so she decided to do something about it. On her first day in town, she built an enchanted ice sculpture for the art store owner. It’s still in there. It looks just like my grandpa’s dragon.” I smiled, “It’s nice that she was that close with him as soon as she and your dad b

I immediately cringed, “Princess ceremony?” Queen Chumani smiled, “Yes, dear. You are a dragon princess now. I promise, it’s not a long, drawn-out ceremony at all. There is more work involved in the preparation of the ceremony than the ceremony itself. We can have the ceremony pretty quickly, if you want to sit down with me today to choose your invitations and figure out the guest list. You will also need to visit the jeweler in town to design your crown and the gown shop next to it to get your gowns for the ceremony and the after-party. Do you think that can get done today?” I nodded, “I know we can sit down to do the guest list and invitations. I’m sure I can also go to town today too.” She smiled, “I’m so happy!” Elliot pulled me close and whispered in my ear, “You just made my grandma the happiest woman on Earth. She lives for these events. Thank you.” I smiled, “There is nothing to thank me for. I enjoy her company.” He nuzzled my neck, breathing in my scent, “I love yo
I got in their car and the driver took me to the jeweler, and he helped me design a beautiful crown. He smiled, “You are going to look absolutely stunning in this crown. I know our kingdom will fall in love with you.” I smiled, “Well, thank you. I do appreciate that vote of confidence.” He chuckled, “You will be amazing. I know it. Prince Elliot is a very lucky man to have you for a mate.” I smiled as I shook his hand, “I’m the lucky one. Have a great day.” He wished me good day and I walked next door to the dress shop. When I walked in, the saleslady immediately approached me, “How may I help you?” I smiled, “I am Prince Elliot’s mate.” She gasped, “The Princess! Are you shopping for your dresses for your crowning ceremony and the reception?” I nodded, “I am.” She smiled, “I have the perfect dresses for you. I designed them myself.” She handed two dresses to me and guided me to the dressing rooms. I tried on the floor length gown with the six-foot train flowing behi
I looked around and yelled as loud as I can, “WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON AND WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY HOUSE?!” Linden and Max stopped and looked at me like deer caught in headlights. Taylor walked into the house with Evan, “Evan and I had gone for a walk, and we came back to this. I didn’t want to get hit with anything, so I stepped outside and called you.” Evan shook his head, “You got back too fast for me to do anything about it.” I looked at my brothers, and Linden finally spoke, “It started with us just throwing little lightning bolts at each other, but then they started getting bigger and… we’re sorry. We should’ve done this outside.” Max stepped up, “I’m sorry sis. We were having fun and things just got out of hand.” I shook my head, “Well, no one got hurt, but my house is a fucking mess. Here’s what you are going to do. You are going to clean all this mess up, with NO MAGIC! Magic got you in this mess. I am going to stay right here and watch every move you make u
I told the guys to go ahead and use their magic to finish cleaning, then get ready for company. The grass drill will happen later. I told them, “Blaise has decided that he wants to come out and train with you guys, so he’s going to try and stay with us for a while.” The guys were excited, while Taylor groaned, “I’m going to be outnumbered.” I laughed, “We are already outnumbered. What’s one more?” She laughed, “I see your point.” I smile, “Besides, you’ll be moving in with your mate soon, won’t you?” She blushed, “I will be soon. I still have to meet with the Queen to request to be changed.” I furrowed my brow, “I can arrange that over dinner tonight. I can invite her. You just bring Evan to dinner.” She smiled, “You can really do it that fast?” I smiled, “Of course. She is part of the alliance.” Taylor didn’t act as happy as I thought she would be about this news. I asked, “Taylor, what else is holding you back?” She sighed, “I’m just scared of living in a whole new world,
Queen Lakelyn sat back and smiled, “Dahlia wasn’t always evil. When we were growing up, she was actually very sweet in school. She was always helpful to everyone.” I asked, “You went to school with her?” Queen Lakelyn nodded, “I did. So did everyone at this table. Some of us were even friends with her after she went psycho… though not for long after. She turned very dangerous.” Queen Chumani nodded, “She was my best friend in high school. I was convinced that she was destined for great things. She ruined it all.” I sat back and asked, “What exactly was her home life like then?” Queen Chumani smiled, “Her family was so much fun! Her dad was a loving man who treated all the area kids like his own. Her mom always had snacks at the ready for all of us. She had four brothers and two sisters, and they all had friends who liked to hang out at her house. It was always full of laughter and love.” Queen Lakelyn laughed, “It was almost sickeningly sweet. I’m sure they argued, but we ne
I added, “While she took me downstairs for that breakfast that was laced with a truth spell, she told me that I wouldn’t want kids after they had been used as a weapon against me.” Billy sighed, “I am so sorry you had to go through all that, Elisa.” I nodded to him, “It really kinda messed with my mind. She kept trying to tell me that Elliot would leave me, she told me that all mates do. I know better, but it felt like she was telling me the honest truth.” Billy looked me in the eyes, “She was telling you, her truth. That doesn’t mean it was yours.” I nodded, “I understand.” Taylor chimed in, “I’ve kinda been feeling the same way. What if I end up turning into a horrible mother? I can’t imagine abandoning a child in the middle of the forest, but that doesn’t mean I’m not capable of it.” Evan put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her to him, “You will never be like that, because you have a mate who will love you and cherish you forever. I could never imagine a single sc
I agreed, “It is cool that her convenience turned into not only her undoing, but also some pretty strong bonds. I hope these bonds keep getting stronger.” Then Billy spoke up, “I know Dahlia messed with all of your heads and it would worry me if it didn’t affect each of you in some way. I want you all to know that what she did is on her. Not any of you. I don’t think any of you has the capacity to be like her in any way. I see a lot of her, before her first mate in you, Elisa, and you, Taylor. That doesn’t mean you will turn out like her. Don’t forget that it took a black magic warlock and a fake mate spell to make her that way. The two of you have already found your mates and they are really good ones. You have nothing to worry about.” Queen Chumani smiled, “I understand why you would have doubts about your abilities as a mother, but you ladies are too sweet and caring to even think about being like that. Dahlia was a sweet woman. She was just a victim of black magic and th
I looked in the man’s eyes and saw nothing but happiness and is that love I see? Billy smiled, “Wade, I would like for you to meet your daughters, Elisabeth and Taylor. Ladies, this is your biological father, Wade Beard.” I smiled at him, “I am so happy to meet you, Wade.” Taylor smiled, “Same here. Elisa and I honestly thought our mother killed you.” Wade threw his head back and laughed a roaring laugh, that caused vibrations throughout our bodies and birds to take flight out of the trees. We could help laughing with him, even though we had no idea what we were laughing at. He reached out to us and Taylor and I ran to him. He wrapped his massive arms around both of us at the same time and gave us the most comfortable hug I think I have ever received. I never knew what a father’s hug felt like before, but this has to be it. It honestly made me start crying, which surprised even me. He must have sensed that I was crying and he asked, “Did I squeeze too tight?” I chuckled, “No
