Stolen Chapter 30 - More lies!
Viktoria’s POVWe were actually sitting outside under the stars having high tea at night! My eyes scanned the area around us and I wondered how many of these so-called ladies and gentlemen that were walking in the gardens were on our side and how many of them were plotting to have me and my family killed. If they killed my father, they could have a straight line to the throne no matter who they were. They didn’t need to kill me if they had enough votes. I was sure of it, but my father seemed to differ from my opinion. I couldn’t help it. Where my father saw alliances and friends, I saw people who could stab us in the back at any time. Literally!“Your majesty, your royal highness.” His voice sent a shiver down my spine as I remembered my little incident with Bailey on the night of our coronation.“Bailey, just the man I wanted to see.” My father smiled, showing him a seat right next to me and my eyes grew wide before something my father said earlier came to mind.“Always keep your fri
Stolen Chapter 31 - The beast is her mate?!
Fynn’s POVI was on the verge of losing my wolf when the call came through the pack link that the princess and the new king were at our border. I couldn’t believe it! Shifting on my way out of the door, I ran as fast as I could and reached them in record time.“Your majesty, your royal highness.” I held out my hand to greet the new king.“I think you should put on some pants before we talk.” He frowned and when my eyes met hers and I saw her bright red blushing cheeks, I looked down and realized that in my rush to get to them I had forgotten to bring pants! Thankfully, one of my warriors had some I could use and I quickly jumped at them, feeling like the world’s biggest idiot. I apologized profusely to the king against my wolf’s wishes, but he was just so happy to see her that his anger at me didn’t last very long. We felt like a teenager in love at the sight of her. She was looking paler than she had been, but she was also looking healthier. She had put on a little bit of weight sinc
Stolen Chapter 32 - So not falling in love!
Viktoria’s POVI couldn’t believe that my father actually thought Fynn saw me as his mate! I was totally convinced that my darling father had completely lost the damn plot! Fynn didn’t show any signs that he liked me, did he? Suddenly, I felt incredibly stupid! What the hell was I going to do the next time I saw him? Oh, saints! My father wasn’t going to allow me to ever see him again! Seriously!“Dad! What look are you talking about?” I frowned, wondering what the hell he was talking about. I didn’t see a look. My father sighed and sat down as if he was trying to figure out how to tell me something.“Viktoria, I know they didn’t teach you much about the birds and the bees at the college …” Oh my lord!! Was that what he was going to discuss with me?!“Dad! I know how all that works.” I shivered. The idea of my father telling me how people mate was just … Yeah … Just!!“Okay,” He sighed. “How much do you know about beasts finding their mates?” He frowned and I realized that this conver
Stolen Chapter 33 - Hidden messages
Viktoria’s POV“Look, mom, I know dad spoke to you about something he thinks he saw, but you don’t have to say anything. I’m not going to …” Her hand rested on my arm as I climbed out of the tub.“Sweetheart, he’s just worried about you.” I didn’t like seeing the frown on her face. For the first time in my momma’s life, she was happy. I can see that she really is. I didn’t want to be the reason anything bothered her or upset her, even if I knew that life would happen at some time and ruin what I wanted, I still didn’t want it.“Mom, I really didn’t see what he saw. Dad is just being …” I couldn’t believe I was going to say it, but it had to be said. “He’s just being an overprotective father. There is nothing going on between me and Fynn.” She helped me get into my nightdress, and I could see that she still wasn’t happy.“Sweetheart, you have to understand that your father knows about these things. You don’t really know the beasts. You don’t know what they are like.” I could understand
Stolen Chapter 34 - Is that really that?
Viktoria’s POVOf course, there would be a hidden part of the prophecy that only revealed itself with blood!“How did you find out about this?” I frowned, wondering who spilled blood on books for no reason!“It was just an accident.” My father mumbled and I just knew he wasn’t telling me the truth. I looked at him with a frown and my hands on my hips. “Okay, fine. I knew that royal blood revealed secrets so I took a chance and it paid off.” He pulled his fingers through his hair. “I suggest you write it down somewhere safe. I don’t think pouring our blood out over the book often is going to keep it preserved for long.” He frowned and I nodded, grabbing a piece of paper and a pen and scribbling down the hidden part of the prophecy. At least I would be able to read it over and over until I had this part memorized as well.I guess I was looking for the loophole. The one thing that would prove to my father I wasn’t the girl they were referring to in the prophecy. Sometimes … Who am I kidd
Stolen Chapter 35 - Rejected?
Viktoria’s POVAfter everything that’s happened, I found myself almost wishing I could just go back to my life before Fynn. It was a simple life and there was the possibility of being chosen as some idiot’s concubine, but I was well on my way to becoming a guard, I was sure of it. At least then, all I wished for was to meet my father. Now that he was in my life and I was declared an actual royal, I missed the simpler days. It wouldn’t have mattered if I had never slept on a damn royal bed or if someone helped me to get dressed. I just wanted to meet my father once. That was … Okay, fine. I’m lying to myself. I would never have admitted it out loud, but I secretly dreamt of my father telling me how much he wanted me to be a part of the family. I never meant for my grandfather and my uncle to die so I could get my secret wish.“Dad, you said you wanted to make some changes,” We were walking down the passage on our way out somewhere and I had no idea where the hell he wanted to take me,
Stolen Chapter 36 - How do we move on from here?
Viktoria’s POV“Sweetheart, there is nothing you can do to stop it. When a beast finds his mate, he will move heaven and earth to get to her. Your father stood in the way of that. I know he doesn’t want you to mate with that beast, but he shouldn’t have interfered.” Her eyes grew wide as she said it and she looked at me. “Please don’t tell him I said that. I would never tell your father what to do.” She sat down and I could see that she was very upset, so I sat down beside her and tried to assure her that I wouldn’t say anything. I still couldn’t believe that Fynn was my mate. The one person destined to love me unconditionally. I honestly didn’t feel it, but I definitely saw it in his eyes tonight.That look that my father spoke of previously. When his wolf shined through and his eyes glowed in the moonlight, I saw the power behind it. I saw love and I saw lust. Just thinking about the lust part sent a shiver down my spine. I heard the boots of guards pass our door and my stomach pull
Stolen Chapter 37 - The first rejection.
Viktoria’s POV“I don’t understand.” I frowned, not entirely sure why people kept telling me to reject him. “Okay, I reject you.” I shrugged with a deep frown on my forehead.“No, there is a certain thing you need to say …” But before we could continue our conversation, I could feel my father’s presence right behind me.“What are you doing here?!” He hissed and I almost burst out laughing when Fynn rolled his eyes at my father.“Not that it’s any of your concern, but my wolf took over control. He is not allowing me to reject your daughter and she doesn’t know what to say.” Fynn threw his arms in the air in frustration and I still felt confused. What would a couple of words said in a specific way do that would change what Fynn felt for me? In the deepest corners of my heart, something w

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
