"Vampires?" I asked, "That's bullshit. My parents exterminated them with the help of the Lycans and several other species." He said, "There is a hybrid that was created. He's my age. He came from your mom's old pack." I said, "Wonderful. So, this hybrid wants to kill me so that he can create a new kingdom of vampires without having to worry about being exterminated." He said, "Yes. He knows I want you dead because of what you did to my sister. It was just an added bonus that my mate turned out to be a Lycan." I said, "Actually, it's not a bonus. You will die today for your actions. It is a crime to attempt to kill a Princess." Just then King Fenris walked in and said, "And it is punishable by death." Then he turned to me and said, "Did he give us the information we need?" I said, "Just one more thing." I turned back to Kealon and said, "What is the hybrid's name?" He said, "His name is Abel Braeden." I said, "King Fenris, we have all the information we need." He said, "Okay." We all

We walked into the main hall of the castle, and I see four Centaurs and King Izzoth talking with King Fenris and Queen Nina. Conri and I walk up to them, and I say, "Hello, everyone!" I approached King Izzoth and gave him a hug. I approached King Chiron, and he held his arms out for a hug. I stepped in them and gave him a hug. I shook the other Centaurs hands as they told me their names. Trina's mate, Zughar, Thraag, Ezram and Delvor are the Centaurs who will be here to guard me. I asked Chiron to go to the conference room with me for a moment. As we walk into the conference room, I said, "There has been a new development. Apparently, there is a wolf/vampire hybrid who wants me and my mother dead. It is very apparent that he doesn't know that my twin brother is also a direct descendent of the Moon Goddess, or he is making the mistake of underestimating him. Regardless, here we are. History is repeating itself on the next generation." King Izzoth said, "I have a
After dinner, I made arrangements with King Chiron to meet me and Queen Lakelyn at the Fairy Kingdom tomorrow. I told him I would call him tomorrow morning with a time, after I talk to Queen Lakelyn. He agreed and we said goodbye to him and King Izzoth. I shut the door behind them and leaned against it taking a deep breath. Conri walked up to me, and wrapped his arms around me, "Princess, I can feel your doubts. You need to stop. You are doing an amazing job already and this was only your second full day. I would say you are pretty fantastic." King Fenris walked in and said, "I tend to agree with your mate. You already have the kingdom smitten." I laughed, "I guess we'll see about that when the shit show starts." Queen Nina said, "They've already been through the whole vampire thing. Remember? Your parents exterminated them using our kingdom as home base. I don't want to see another bat as long as I live." Then she shivered. I laughed and said, "Sorry about that. Mom and dad
I woke up the next morning at my usual time, feeling surprisingly rested. I tried to get up, but I had a giant arm pulling me close to him. Each time I moved away; he would tighten his grip. I had my back to him, but I could feel him chuckling quietly. I said, "I need to get out of bed. I need to work out, so that I can get this day started. I really want all of the alliances done today, so I can concentrate on just having fun with Miranda, tomorrow." He smiled, "You are so good to our people. You're so good to me and my family. I want you to be able to have fun with her tomorrow. You deserve a day for you." I turned to face him and said, "Are you okay with me being out without you?" He said, "You're going to have plenty of protection. I will miss you though." I smiled and said, "I'll miss you too. Now, are you going to let me out of bed? Maybe you could hold the bag for me and spar with me this morning?" He said, "I guess. As long as we get to take a shower together after it." I sa
We all held hands and we were at the Fae Realm in the blink of an eye. I looked around at it was beautiful! The colors were so vibrant. The smells were almost mouthwatering. The only thing around us was beautiful green fields. I said, "This place is gorgeous." to anyone who is listening. Conri tucked me close to him and said, "Something doesn't feel right. I'm not letting you out of my sight, Ash." I smiled, "You are amazing. You know that, right?" He just smiled. Selene said, "You two are cute. The High Court is right here." I said, "There is nothing here." Selene snapped her fingers and they all appeared. A lady with long white hair, and a very fair complexion stood, "Selene, how nice of you to be here. Who is this underling you bring to us?" Selene said, "Adelina, this is no underling. This is Ashina. She is my direct descendent. The man standing next to her is her mate and Lycan Prince, Conri." Adelina walked to me, stared at me, up and down, then got close to Conr
After Selene left, Conri pulled me to him, "Do you have any idea how much I respect you for everything you are doing?" I smiled and climbed up his body so that we are face-to-face, "No, but I do love the way that sounds." He said, "You have been amazing me every day with something new that you are doing. The way you handled the Fae was nothing short of genius." I said, "I don't know that it would've been that successful if Selene hadn't been with us." He said, "You're the one who did most of the talking. She just introduced us. That's all." I kissed him lovingly and said, "I appreciate all of your support and your love. It means everything to me." He smiled, "You will always have it, my Princess." "So," he continued, "Since we aren't going to have our date night tonight, how about we do it tomorrow night." I cringed, "I'm so sorry. I honestly didn't mean to do that." He waved his hand, "This is more important. We need to get rid of the threat against my other half. I w
After dressing in a black, calf-length dress, and a pair of black, ankle boots, I put my hair in a high ponytail, just so I wouldn't have to mess with it. I put on a little eye liner and a clear lip gloss. Conri growled as I was finishing up. I said, "Something wrong with what I'm wearing?" He said, "Absolutely not. I just really like the way that dress hugs your breasts." I laugh and walk close to him. I said, "It's all for you, and only you." He pulled me closer and said, "Mine." I laughed and said, "Come on, my Prince. We have a meeting to go to." When we walked into the main hall, I was immediately bombarded into a hug. "Hi mom," I laughed. She said, "Oh, my baby. I'm so proud of you. You should see the turnout in the hall." I said, "I hope it's everyone." She said, "Pretty much. I also brought Nico along. He needs to be here." I said, "I was hoping you would. I will show you our wing when we're done with this dinner and meeting." She said, "That would be awesome!"
After the meeting, Conri and I took my parents and Nico on a tour of our wing of the castle. I took them to the gym, and King Fenris walked in. He said, "Your daughter has taught me a few things. Not just fighting techniques either. She also showed me what I was doing to keep injuring my hamstring, and she showed me how to avoid it." Dad put his arm over my shoulder and said, "That's my girl." Then mom put her arm around my waist and said, "Please; if you would've had your way, she would've never learned to fight. That's MY girl." I rolled my eyes, "They've had this argument since I was ten and started training with the warriors." Conri and King Fenris laughed as Conri said, "She may be your girl, but that's MY baby," and pulled me away from both of them." They all laughed while I rolled my eyes again. When we got to the sitting room, Queen Eden was talking with Queen Nina. We all sat down as Queen Eden said, "Ashina, you really need to watch yourself tomorrow. Okay? There a
We all stood, held hands, and blinked. Miranda opened her eyes and almost started screaming. "TOY STORE," she yelled. I laughed and said, "You get to choose three things that you have always wanted." She hugged me tightly and said, "Thank you Princess!" I said, "You are very welcome. Let's get you those items you've always wanted." We walked around the store and she found two of the items she always wanted, a huge dollhouse and a bike. I laughed when Ezram sighed, "Of course she would pick the two most awkward things to carry. I laughed and said, "Let me see about getting a car." I mind linked Conri to get a car in front of the toy store. He said, "Be there in five." I said, "Conri will have a car in front of the store in five minutes. It ended up being three minutes, and Conri was driving. I smiled, "I thought you were going to work on your paperwork." He smiled back at me, "I can't concentrate with you not there." I just shook my head. I walked back into the store an
