Stolen Chapter 20 - The life of an instructor not a guardian.
Fynn’s POVLeaving her behind broke my wolf’s heart, but it was becoming too dangerous to have her around my pack. It was dangerous for both of us and I couldn’t take the chance that someone might harm her. I would rather live without her than have anybody hurt her. Running back home, it felt as though my soul was being ripped from my body.Viktoria’s POVStaying in the cell was protocol, or well, sort of. I mean, it wasn’t as if we had people coming back from beast camps on a daily basis. I could understand that they had to keep me there to make sure I hadn’t been turned or something. When I woke up, I could hear the gates being locked and unlocked near the entrance, but nobody walked all the way back to my cell. I knew I had to get as much rest as possible because there was a huge possibility that they would pull me out for more questioning and then
Stolen Chapter 21 - Untouched.
Viktoria’s POVUnfortunately, living a normal life wasn’t going to be in the cards for me. The same people who just a couple of days ago were telling me how confident they were that I was going to get a position in the castle. There were no whisperers behind my back. I felt like a total lepper! At breakfast, none of my friends from my year were there anymore, and I didn’t actually mix with any of the other age groups before our test day. I wasn’t part of the instructors’ group who had been instructors for many years. I was meant to be out working by now or to have been moved to the convent.Deciding to sit at the only empty table, which used to be our senior table, I picked up my food. I didn’t look up when a group of girls bursts out laughing and I knew they were staring at me. Nor did I pay much attention when the first bell rang to let the students know they had ten minutes to get to class. I am one
Stolen Chapter 22 - The convent! Seriously!
Viktoria’s POVEven though it was all done very respectfully, I couldn’t help but feel incredibly uncomfortable! I tried to distract myself by studying as much of the room as possible, but that just reminded me of the library at Fynn’s home. All I could do was grit and bear it until it was all over. I mean, if it was the only way to get me back where I belonged, I would do whatever it took. Unfortunately, I felt as if there was more behind this sudden need to make sure the wolves didn’t harm me. Fuck! They wanted to make sure I was pure so they could find me a mate! I felt frozen in place as adrenaline rushed through my veins and I closed my eyes. The male beside me told me that the exam was over and I could hear people leaving the room, but I was frozen in fear. My supervisor touched my shoulder and I opened teary eyes and looked at her with the biggest fear I had ever felt in my entire life.It was written all ov
Stolen Chapter 23 - Escape!
Viktoria’s POVMy mother greeted me at the door of the convent looking incredibly sad. I turned to say goodbye to my supervisor, and her eyes were filled with tears. It was the first time in all the years I had known her that I saw tears in her eyes!“I’m so sorry.” She whispered before giving me a quick hug and turning around to walk away. My mother fussed that I was too thin as she hurried me along the passages to our old home. She had been living in the same one-roomed apartment on the second floor that I left at the age of ten. She was explaining that we would go to the sister in charge of clothing right after evening prayers. There they wanted me to hand in all the clothing that I used to wear as a dhampir and then they would supply me with new clothes. Dresses of all things! I hadn’t worn a damn dress since I was ten! Mom and I had dinner in silence and as we cleaned up, she seemed as though she had something on her mind.“Mom, what is it?” I frowned as I packed away the last pl
Stolen Chapter 24 - A change in the guard.
Viktoria’s POVFrom the damn frying pan, into the fucking fire! That’s what just happened! I went from being a prisoner in the beasts’ camp to a … A vampire’s breeding whore and now … Now I was going to die! All because of the decisions others made on my damn behalf! I looked around my father’s room for anything that I could use as a weapon. If I was going to die, I was going to go down fighting.“Mother, we have to go back.” I found a letter knife on my father’s desk and gripped my mother around her wrist before dragging her to the door.“No! Your father will come back. He will protect us.” She pulled out of my grip and I noticed the fear in her eyes. “We can’t go back to the convent, Viktoria. They’ve probably already been to my apartment.” She started pacing and frowned.“Mother,”
Stolen Chapter 25 - Wearing the tiara ...
Viktoria’s POVThe details around my grandfather and uncle’s deaths were pretty sketchy and I could tell that my father was hiding something. Also, it felt really strange to be living in the castle. Actually, living in the castle right after I was sentenced to live a life of being a damn cow! Strange how life could just turn on a dime like that, but it did. All this being a princess was going to take some getting used to as I looked at myself in the mirror while two girls rushed around to get me dressed. My father wanted me by his side for the funeral and he wanted me dressed properly for the occasion.I wondered if the news had reached Fynn and his pack yet, but I knew it probably had since the whispers around the castle were that a beast had killed my family. I couldn’t believe that they would have, but that was the rumour and around here, it seemed as though rumours were considered to be fact. I took another look at myself in the long black satin dress and rolled my eyes. If this w
Stolen Chapter 26 - Living as a princess
Viktoria’s POVIt had been two weeks since the funeral and my father really seemed to be shaking things up. The main problem I was having was I couldn’t stop thinking about Fynn. I wondered if he was okay. If his pack was okay. Rumours had spread that a beast was the one who killed my family, but my father assured me that wasn’t what happened. For a moment, I wondered if my father killed them, but when he told me he didn’t, I believed him. I was probably being stupid in believing him, but I did.“How are your studies coming along?” His voice floated through the library and I scoffed.“I didn’t know being a princess was this difficult.” I sighed. “Dad, there is no record of a female vampire ever ruling the kingdom.” I frowned.“Well, that is because no female has ever ruled. The throne has always been passed down from father to son, but since there is no son, you will take over when I meet my demise.” He pulled a face, making me laugh.“Please don’t!” I giggled. Seeing my father like t
Stolen Chapter 27 - Life as we know it?
Viktoria’s POV“Don’t you think it’s a bad idea to say things like that in here?” I whispered. I mean this was THE ancient! He was powerful! What if he decided to tell someone to kill my dad and me?“Don’t worry, sweetheart. While he is in that chamber, he is powerless.” My dad tried to comfort me, but that was not what I had been taught! “We can’t kill the ancient because we don’t know if anyone would survive his death. There have been so many recorded cases of a string of vampires dying when the vampire that sired them dies.” My father frowned. “Every dhampir and vampire can somehow trace their origin back to the ancient.” What was my father saying? I frowned and he smiled, making me even more confused. “Come on, let’s go back to the library.” I breathed an audible sigh of relief when we left the chamber and I watched as the door slowly closed, and we sat down again.“Since we are the only living vampires with royal blood, you and I are the only two people who can open that chamber

Stolen Chapter 73 - A happy family - The end.
Viktoria’s POVI walked into the garden at the castle and instantly noticed Freya. She was sitting with her eyes closed and her face turned up in the sun. It was something she had been doing a lot these days and I couldn’t help but feel glad that she was safely back home. It had taken a long time to convince the men in my life that our people taking up space in the human world was the worst idea ever, but they eventually relented and our people moved back.The school was still open, and although I didn’t like the idea, our people were allowed to live and work in the human world but not in the same numbers. It had been a couple of years since Freya was attacked and there had been no other incidents of that caliber after that, but I couldn’t help it. I didn’t want our people out in the world. It was just my motherly instinct that kicked in and that was that.“Hey sweetheart,” I smiled as I took the seat next to her and felt the warmth of the sun. “I have someone here that wants to talk
Stolen Chapter 72 - The attack.
Viktoria’s POVWhen the news came of the first ever proven vampire attack the humans had ever seen, I nearly had a heart attack! Fynn tried to tell me that everything would be okay, but I didn’t know enough about humans and their ways to know that for sure. Fynn tried to explain that there were a lot of human news agencies that were constantly printing fake news for higher sales and everything, but I just shut off and told him that I feared this was going to happen! Humans were going to come for us! They were going to pick us apart piece by piece and discard whatever they didn’t need!Fynn believed that the only way he could show me that this wasn’t as big of a problem as I feared, he needed to take me to the human city. I really didn’t want to go, but I had no other choice. We needed to find the vampire that did this and who had put us all in jeopardy. As we drove into the city, I couldn’t help but feel as if people were watching us, but Fynn told me I was just imagining things. As w
Stolen Chapter 71 - A human life ...
Viktoria’s POVI hated the idea of having to tame our people, but if they were going to live human lives, we needed to find a way for them to cope here. It was so damn difficult to hold back my hunger as we walked between the humans that my throat was on fire! We walked past a clothing store and something caught my eye. I stopped and walked back and saw the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. Fynn suddenly became excited and he gripped my hand as he pulled me into the store. Within minutes, a young human girl was showing me into a fitting room and I quickly stripped and put the dress on. It was called a summer dress and I just loved it. The thin straps over my shoulders showed off my neck and the dress flared out around to just above my knee. It was just perfect.“Are you okay in there?” Fynn’s voice drifted through the door and I nearly jumped out of my skin. I opened the door and saw in his eyes that the dress fit me just right. He told me to change and that he would pay for it, b
Stolen Chapter 70 - A strange new world.
Viktoria’s POVFynn was looking at me as if he was about to put me into that damn vault for a nice long nap, and there was no way in hell I was going back there! Since we had the unlinking spell, I had not needed to sleep in a long time, but then again, our people were happy in general and I fed off that happiness while I was an ancient. Fynn wouldn’t say it, but I knew he was worried that the spell hadn’t worked and that I was losing it like I did when I thought Friedrich was a monster. Thankfully, this time they didn’t just stuff me into my little box.My father suggested we talk about my fears first and I appreciated that they were willing to listen. It was incredibly difficult to summarise it at first and I really rambled on as if I was losing the last little bit of my sanity, but slowly I started to unpack and we got down to the thing that was bugging me the most.Freya was planning on leaving our safe home and I felt that it was just not safe for her to leave. In fact, I regret
Stolen Chapter 69 - Finding balance!
Viktoria’s POVGetting the old pack house ready was an enormous event for our people. Most of the vampires had never even seen the old pack house and were curious as to what it looked like. Wolves got the chance to show their mates where they grew up and it was pretty informative for the vampires to experience a world so different from ours in the kingdom. Fynn and my father set up a team of teachers who would move to the pack house permanently so they could teach the children whatever it was they would need to know in the human world, and Fynn made sure that all the subjects they decided on covered everything he knew they would need.I knew that in time those things would change, but it didn’t say anything to Fynn. He was so happy that everything was finally happening. That our people, both vampires, and wolves, could move freely between the two kingdoms and the pack house. It had been his biggest dream for this to happen and there was a time when he thought it would never be possibl
Stolen Chapter 68 - A growing family.
Viktoria’s POVI was sitting in the garden, just staring out at the people walking past, when Freya came running up to me. She was positively beaming and I noted yet again what a beautiful girl she was. We celebrated her twenty-first birthday just a couple of days ago and when she still hadn’t found her wolf, she was shattered. She had hoped she would be a hybrid like her big brother, but it seemed as though my little angel would forever and always be just a normal vampire like me. However, the excitement around her was intoxicating and I wondered what she had convinced her brother to allow this time around.“It’s time mom!” She beamed again and, for a moment, I felt a little confused until I realized!“Oh, my!” I squealed as I jumped up and we used our superspeed to rush to Friedrich and Melissa’s room. Outside the door, we were met by my parents, Fynn, and my beautiful grandson, Victor. My dad’s chest grew three sizes the day Friedrich and Melissa announced that if they had a boy th
Stolen Chapter 67 - Unlinked.
Viktoria’s POVWaiting for the witch to get back to us was driving all of us insane, but at least we had the coronation to keep us busy and when the final day arrived, I almost couldn’t wait to hand over the damn crown! It wasn’t about the responsibilities so much as that it was heavy with all its jewels and gold! Friedrich was coronated as king and Melissa as his queen and they looked absolutely stunning as they walked out onto the balcony to wave at our people.Little Freya was growing at a similar rate as Friedrich did when he was this small and I could only hope that I would be there for everything this time. If we could unlink our people from me, I wouldn’t have to take any more naps … At least, that was what I was hoping for. Again, everyone partied until the early hours of the morning after the coronation. We had just climbed into bed when someone knocked on the door and a worried-looking guard walked in after Fynn refused to get out of bed and I had to call out for whoever it
Stolen Chapter 66 - The grimoire of the first.
Fynn’s POVPeople started to run around the bed and I moved out of the way. Viktoria wasn’t breathing and I feared not just for her but for everyone around us! It was the worst couple of minutes of my entire life as I looked at everyone that was running around and caught a glimpse of Victor, who was standing in the opposite corner of the room. His eyes reflected the fear I was feeling when we heard a beeping sound echo through the room.I nearly fell forward as the sigh of relief left my chest and I could hear the love of my life’s heart beating even without the machines. It took another minute or so for her to open her eyes and it was the moment I realized we really had to unlink everyone from her bloodline. Anything could happen at any time and it would be over for all of us. Even for little Freya. I smiled as the nurse handed her back to me and I could have sworn our little one smiled back.Viktoria’s POVI was happily floating down the cool river when suddenly it felt as if someth
Stolen Chapter 65 - Freya
Viktoria’s POVMy father was just as hesitant to hand over the crown to Friedrich as Fynn was. They both felt that my son was still a bit young to take on such an enormous responsibility, but I disagreed with them. Our young prince had been through more than most in his young life. He had experienced things people his age should not have and, in my mind, it was time. I understood that my father saw me as the chosen one and whatnot, but I believed that I had played my part in changing things in our kingdom and it was time for Friedrich to step up.After weeks of discussions, it seemed that the privy council agreed with me. I would forever remain their so-called ancient, or at least until we could find a way to unlink our people, but it was time for a younger, more energetic couple to take on the duty of ruling the kingdom. It was time for the last phase of our transition into the modern world. I believed it was the right decision and it might have taken some time to convince my father
