Chapter 17The as each delegate left my thrown room, I sent them each with one of my own as a guard. Roselinda and Roland stayed back with me. I didn’t want the delegates walking around unaccompanied anymore. “Roland, I didn’t forget that I asked Lysander about my guards. I think that fellow who I killed, and Max must have killed them. I want Max held in the prison under extra guards. I will question him myself tomorrow. As for you Roselinda I’m sorry you found out about your heritage in this manner. But if you wish to remain in my territory, you will obey my orders first and foremost. Your lucky Emma was not seriously harmed. Her arm has already healed, thank goodness vampire bites heal fast. But this could have ended far worse. Please take care of your affairs by the end of tomorrow and decide on who your loyalties lie with.” Roselinda had tears in her eyes. But she has known the entire time since she grew up in my kingdom that if you live here you live by
Chapter 18Roselinda POV Finding out I was an heir to the Fae king was shocking to say the least. When I got word the Fae queen asked to speak to me specifically, I was worried. By living here, I didn’t know if I was allowed to be here, was I able to leave the Fae lands, what if I unknowingly committed a crime. I can’t remember my mother. I was noticeably young when the Master found me and started to take care of me. He said I could live here for always. As a child all I could remember was travelling a lot. We never had a home for exceedingly long but as a child our sense of time is different from an adult. A month might feel like a year, a year could have been a few weeks. I’m not even sure of my actual age, Master Delmor thinks I was about six. He says they found me in his woods all alone. I don’t remember most of that time. I believe my mind has masked all the horrible things I might have witnessed. Master took me to his castle where I was raised with his other serv
Emma POV It was early morning, it had to be it was barely light out, the sun had yet to warm up the room. I slowly woke and noticed I was being held by Delmor. He had me securely in his arms, I was warm and content. Why did he create these reactions from my body? My mind was telling me he was too close to soon, but my body curved around his and greedily soaked up his warmth. I was staring into his face lost in thought when he spoke and scared the crap out of me. “Paint a portrait it will last longer.” He said startling me. I regained my witty composure and said. “You know in my world we have a similar saying; take a picture it will last longer. Funny how our worlds have similar sayings and languages and even accents.” “Your right, you even speak our language.” Delmor said. “It’s called English in my country.” I replied. “It’s our only language here it’s just how we speak. The witches do ha
Chapter 20Emma’s POV We left Delmor’s room and headed to the thrown room, he had several guards in front of us and behind us. I was nervous as we entered the room. The room was huge, all the guests look like they were here already as the room was full. I could tell who the Fae were right away, with their colorful lean bodies. I was guessing the blue one with the cocky smile on his face was the king, the woman next to him was an orange peachy color, she might be the queen. I liked how the Fae were colored. It was like real life cosplay. My eyes scanned the rest of the room, I hate to sound cliche, but the Vampires were tall, dark, and brooding. They were very handsome. But I like the werewolf style better. The wolves looked more rustic like mountain men mixed with cowboys and firemen. Vampires looked similar to a mix of an athlete and a corrupted corporate businessman. When I noticed the Witches, I had let out a small laugh. Delmor eyed me suspiciously, I smiled and sl
Chapter 21 Delmor POV They continued to berate us with question after question. It was well into the afternoon now. I suggested we have a break then dinner. I didn’t care if they agreed or not that’s what we were going to do anyway. “I’m so tired.” Emma told me, then pouted the cutest pout with her lower lip jutting forward. I wanted to kiss that lip. I nodded to her in agreement but kept my thoughts to myself. Now is not the time to see if she would let me kiss her. “We are going to stop right here; I would like to invite you all to the dining room for dinner after a break. Then we will adjourn for the night. You are not allowed to leave my lands yet. But these questions have been tiring for Emma.” Delmor said to the room, he waited for someone to argue with him. No one had though. Several people stood and stretched, they started to chat amongst themselves. “Would you like to go back to our room and fres
My Forever Man 1Hello, my name is Emma. I’m a twenty-one-year-old woman and I have had a rough last few years in my young love life. All I seem to do is work eat and sleep. So as a single woman I decided to look for my perfect man. I didn’t want to end up as a crazy old cat lady. So where do you find a man nowadays. Bars, churches, and the singles in my area will not work. I don’t drink and bars don’t bring the kind of catch I want. With not having a man in my life I have had a lot of spare time.I work in a local nursing home as an aide during the night. I make sure the residents are happy feed and healthy. Since I work nights and they sleep for the most part I have free time. I read or listen to books. A lot. And I have a specific taste in the choice of novels I enjoy, Romance and the dirtier and more fantasy they are the better. I may have spent ove
My Forever Man 2Birthday Dinner Celebration! So, my two friends Becca and Maria are taking me to dinner and a bar tonight. As much as I wanted to just stay home and cuddle under my down comforter drinking coffee and reading my new book, they were literally going to drag me out of my house tonight. I slept most of the day as I got off my shift at seven am. So, I will be wide awake tonight and we can stay out until they shut the bars down and knowing Maria, she will just move the party to my house afterwards. I do the necessary primping for the night shower, curling my brown hair, and just a tad bit of makeup. I hate using makeup, Becca says I need to use it to hook a man, to make myself look as good as I can. But seriously if I want a forever man they will have to accep
My Forever Man 3 What Just Happened? I remembered the nights events clearly. I remember the car crashing, the noise from the impact. The way it felt to fly out of my seat, the sensation of flying. I don’t remember any pain. With a crash like that were was the pain. I should be in pain. Even good pain meds would still leave me with some pain. I know my eyes are closed. I must be sleeping. I felt warm and cozy, and I was laying on my side curled in a ball of comfort. I bet I’m in a hospital, I thought to myself. We must have been rescued from the accident. I slowly gave a stretch. I extended my arms up and legs out straight and gave my body a big stretch. I felt my back pop in pleasure. My muscles felt fine, great actually. I waited for pain to hit me. I’m sure I was hurt. I flew out of the car, I’m sure of it. I reached to pull the blanket up higher on my body so

Chapter 16 Delmor POV With Emma safely in my arms I began spouting orders. This event was what I was trying to prevent. And now my mate was harmed. On top of that everyone now knows she exists. I Knew something like this was going to happen. I was afraid she would cause an issue, but she didn’t even do anything and was still found out because an over eager Vampire could not keep his nose to himself. “Where is Roland?” I screamed. “I’m here King Delmor!” He had just run into the room as I shouted for him. “Where is Roselinda? What happened to the guards that were posted? How did this happen?” I shouted. I needed to keep my composure I can’t show any distress. It could be seen as a sign of weakness. I cradled Emma’s limp body in my arms. She must be passed out from the blood loss. Her Phoenix had jumped onto my shoulder, back to his original size now. He must understand that I won’t hurt Emma. But I knew not to try an
Chapter 15Emma’s POV “Roselinda I’m sorry I didn’t mean for Cheeto to get out of hand. We were trying to occupy ourselves. I was teaching him a new trick. On a side note, I can get him to light things on fire when I tell him too. But I didn’t mean the guard on fire. He startled me and made Cheeto lose focus.” I tried to explain to her. “Milady it’s okay. He’s fine. I think it’s much more of an honor to find out Phoenix’s can project fire and not just be reborn from fire. There is so much to learn about him.” Roselinda gleamed. It appeared she wasn’t upset at all. “Are you reporting everything I do with Cheeto to Delmor?” I asked her. “Yes, Master seems to think you have a talent to take care and learn things he can do. He is informing his scholars of everything you learn about him, or you teach him.” Roselinda explained. I wonder if he wants to gain the upper hand using Cheeto in a war or something? Anyway, the delegates should be
My Forever ManChapter 14King Delmor’s POV: Apparently, everyone was complaining about a strange smell coming from the east hall. A few higher-ups who were unafraid to approach me asked me directly about it, but I tried to give them some sort of an excuse. Plumbing problems, that was why no-one will be staying in the east hall. It wasn’t until the High Warlock, Owen Bates, came forward and demanded the truth about the smell. He demanded to know why there was a phoenix in the castle. He practically yelled the command and it made me want to kill him. No one could talk to me like that. Well except her. The entire room quieted, and I could feel every single eye on me. All the delegates were now gathered in the main all. Everyone was intrigued about the smell. I was more annoyed that they could tell, but I had to distract them. “I’d like to address the most common complaint this evening before we have our meal. It seem everyone has noticed an odor. Its tru
My Forever ManChapter 13 Today is the day for the long-awaited meeting between us and Werewolves and the Witches and the Fae. We rarely ever pass onto each other’s land but since we have a new Vampire lord it was time to resign our treaties. Us Vampires live in Blath-fola. Our lands look like any other lands just because we are vampires doesn’t mean we dwell in dark dank unforgiving lands. We have many forests, mountains, and plains. And on the edge of our plains is small desert that borders us from the witches. I have been tasked as one of the guards to his Lordship Damian Lysander. He is the twenty second son of the Lysander kingdom since the war that wiped out humans. I was in charge of our meals. We kept volunteers for this. While serving the Lordship as his third in command I also help procure new volunteers and keep the current ones
