I said, "King Uther, as much I love that idea, we really don't have time for it now. If it gets really bad, I will levitate myself." He said, "You're right. We don't have time. Let's get going." Conri picked me up and King Fenris carried my chair into the castle. I said, "Where are we going? I can't fight from in here either." King Fenris said, "I have the perfect place that you can fight from and be able to see everyone." He and Conri kept carrying me up floors, until we got to the attic. He opened a hatch door, and there was a huge flat spot on the roof. I said, "This is perfect! Thank you!" Conri said, "Trina and I will stay up here, to fight alongside you and to protect you." They put me in my chair, and I immediately started noticing them coming through the woods. I started sending lightning bolts into trees, making them explode, sending shards into the hearts of the hybrids and the eyes of the wolves. There were screams of pain, then there were tons of bats, everywhere. Blaze

When Conri and I went to the dungeons, the Fae High Court wanted to come with us. As we walked down the first row of cells, we couldn't help but notice they were packed. Queen Winnie came down and said, "Hmm. Just a little overcrowded. Let's do something about that." She stomped the floor and two more rows of cells appeared. Then she teleported some of the prisoners to the new cells. I said, "Thank you, Queen Winnie. You know, you all should be thanking her too." All I got was growls in return. "Oh dear," I said, "A bunch of ingrates. No worries. You won't have to worry about space for long. So, who wants to be the first to talk? I will make sure those who talk will die the fastest. Those who remain stubborn will have slow and agonizing deaths." I looked in the cell farthest down this row. I said, "I'm going to take this cell-by-cell. If you tell me any kind of information about your pack, I will make your death quick and painless." I looked in that cell and said
I've just finished training with Conri. It has been a week since the war with Abel and his minions, and I have taken a lot of great steps since then. I got the okay to eat solid food again four days ago. We celebrated with lasagna and garlic bread. I'm looking forward to our steak dinner tonight (I had to work up to that). All week, Conri and I have been working every night experimenting with positions, and every morning sparring and coming up with new fighting techniques. I've been trying to incorporate magic where I can too. That pisses Conri off a little, because he can't defend himself against it. I always find it funny. I have also started my physical therapy three days a week. Conri absolutely refuses to leave me during it, because the therapist is a male and he has to touch me to do the stretches. I always roll my eyes at him. This particular morning, Conri and I are just finishing up our training, when Queen Nina walks in. She says, "Today is your crowning ceremony,
Conri POV When those doors opened, I had the perfect view of her. Good Goddess! I am the luckiest Lycan on Earth! She is being pushed down the aisle by Chloe, with her arm in my dad's. She looks so regal and beautiful in that color. I need to remember that color for the future. Dad pushes her up the ramp to the stage. One of the Elders, Adoff, will be performing the ceremony. When Ashina is in front of me, I smile, "simply beautiful." She mouthed the words, "Thank you." We both turned to face Adoff, and he smiled as he said, "We are gathered here to celebrate the crowning of our new Princess and I know I speak for everyone when I say it's about time." Everyone laughed for a moment, and he continued, "We are all so honored to have a bold, brave and loving Princes
Ashina's POV Conri and I are on the stage, staring out at the crowd. The ceremony went great. I do wish I could've walked down the aisle though. Maybe I will get to surprise Conri by walking down the aisle at our wedding. "Don't worry, girl, I got you," Nyla says, "There is a lot of damage and it's a lot like trying to rewire the Pentagon." I said, "Okay. I trust you. I will just do my best to keep my legs strong." As I'm finishing this thought, I hear a pop. Nyla says, "In the balcony." I look up and find him, still aiming. I neutralized him and another shooter. I refuse to let this mess up our evening. I will deal with this shit tomorrow. I finally get to change into my other dress. I go to my room with my security, my mom and Lupe. When we get there, Trina s
I took a deep breath and said, "I want to thank all of you for coming. It has definitely been a journey getting here, but I'm so glad to be in this spot tonight. I want to let you know that I will do my best to be a fair princess, no matter what. I am not the type to make someone else do my bidding. I will always be right there, getting my hands dirty with you. As long as someone tells me I need to be there." Everyone laughed and I continued, "I want to thank Queen Nina for helping organize and plan this event. I would've been lost without you. I also want to thank Princess Chloe for decorating both rooms for this event. Chloe, the big sister I never had, I love you so much! Thank you." Then I turned to Conri and said, "And I want to thank Conri for loving me enough to stay with me through all of the challenges we've had so far. It would've been so easy for you to reject me because of this wheelchair, but you didn't. You are the love of my life, and there is no way I could live with
Nyla said, "This is what I was hoping for. I just don't know if you can yet." I said, "Why?" She said, "You stand upright. Your injury is at the very bottom of your spine. It puts more pressure on your spine, when you walk, than I do on mine." I said, "We can keep working on it though, right?" She said, "I'm not giving up on you, lady. Don't you worry about that. But for now, I would love to walk with Conri's wolf." I laughed when Conri shifted into his wolf, Conan, and mind linked, "Shall we take a walk together?" I looked around, and everyone else was shifted too. They all wanted to show support for me. They all encircled us, and we started walking slowly, at first, then it started to get faster. Before I knew it, we were running again! I was so happy, I wanted to cry. It seems like I have been waiting forever for this day. I said, "Nyla, I am so happy to have you!" She chuckled, "So you're not mad at me for waking you up?" I laughed, "Hell no!" When we got back to t
Conri leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Are you sure you want to do that so soon?" I said, "I know I do. So, you should call and arrange a time to get your tux soon." He smiled, "Yes, my princess. I will do that today." I smiled and kissed him gently, "I can't wait to be your wife. Then you'll be legally stuck with me forever." He laughed, "I wouldn't want you any other way. I've waited too long to have you. Do you honestly think I would want to let go of you now?" I smiled and said, "Just making sure." He chuckled and shook his head, "You baffle me sometimes. You know that don't you?" I said, "It keeps you on your toes." We finished eating breakfast, and I changed my shirt into a tank top, then put a jacket over it. Conri said, "Are you sure you want to wear that?" I said, "I'm going to be trying on wedding dresses. I need the thinnest clothes possible to ensure they fit okay." He said, "Okay." We went into the sitting room and waiting for our mothers. They both s
Conri and I went outside, and he said, "It really is not fair that you can shift with your clothes on, without destroying them. You get to see me naked, but I don't get to see you naked." I laugh, "You see me naked every morning and night." He said, "Still not fair. Seeing you naked is my favorite sight to see." I just shake my head as he comes out of the woods. He and I shift at the same time. I take off running while I hear him laughing through the mind link, "You think you can get away from me, little mate?" I laughed, "Catch me if you can, my mate." Nyla was running as fast as she can and loving every second of it. I knew Conri was purposely staying just a bit behind. He knew how much I missed running. I reached a clearing and crouched down, below the height of the grass. He started looking around for me, then, suddenly, he was on top of me. Conan said, "Give up, mate?" Nyla said, "What do I get if I do?" He nuzzles Nyla's neck and says, "Whatever you want." She says, "I want mo
