2024-10-29 19:42:56I just shook my head and sighed, "Is she ever going to come up with something more original?" Aidinth laughed, "She's not going to have time to come up with anything else. She's not getting out of this at all." Apparently, she heard us, because she screamed in frustration while trying to shake off her guards. I said, "It's amazing what kind of fool women will make themselves look like just for a title." Aidinth kissed me and said, "That's why I love you. You could care less about the title. You are the perfect Princess without even trying. You're just being you." I smiled, "I know you're saying that for her benefit, but thank you." He said, "I'm not lying or being overly dramatic. I meant every word." I smiled and said, "Let's go ahead and get in there."
One of the court guards guided us to the prosecution side of the room and had us sit in the second row. They positioned our guards in front of us, behind us, and on either side of us. I really liked this set-up. I'm fa

I almost laughed. Instead, I said, "I am positive. But if there is a doubt, how about you ask the guards who pulled her off of me? Ask Luna Abby if it was her in the room with her when I asked her if I was ugly. Ask Aidinth if it was her when he walked past her to get to me to tell me I was beautiful. Ask King Uther when he saw and heard her scream that I was too ugly for Aidinth now. It's not like we have a lack of witnesses." I stopped, took a deep breath, calming breath, then I looked at Aidinth who was smiling at me. He knew I said, the exact thing I needed to say. The judge looked at the defense attorney as if he was stupid, "Seriously? What kind of bonehead question was that?" He said, "Well, sir, she has a twin sister, and we were trying to establish that it was her." I said, "There is no way they mistook the person who attacked me. They literally caught her red-handed with my blood! She was in the middle of stabbing me, when they pulled her off of me." The defe

When we got home, Aidinth got on the phone immediately. I said, "What are you doing?" He said, "We need to get you seen by the doctor right away. We need to find out if it is safe for me to change you into a dragon now or if we need to wait until after you have the baby." I said, "It would be better to know all of this." He got the doctor on the phone, and he agreed to see us now. We went to the castle clinic, and the doctor met us there. She said, "Hi. I'm Doctor Trixie Harper. I'm the royal obstetrician. I will be your doctor through the entire pregnancy." I said, "Thank you. We just did a pregnancy test this morning, and it showed positive. We need to verify, then get all the do's and dont's. I would like for Prince Aidinth to change me into a dragon, but I don't know if we can do that now." She smiled and said, "It won't change the DNA for the baby, that's for sure. First, though, let's have you pee in this cup, to verify that you are pregnant." She handed the cup to me,

When we got home, King Ryu was sitting with King Uther and Queen Chumani in the sitting room. We joined them and Aidinth said, "Your mate and son are now gone, King Ryu." He smiled, "Thank you for going. I just didn't have it in me. Over the last few years, I have come to hate them both. Does that make me a horrible man?" I said, "No, it's the sign of a good king. One who cares about his kingdom and doesn't want it to be run by power hungry people. Are you going to be okay?" He smiled, "Princess Chloe, I'm going to be better than I was before they were executed. I know that. Tiamat's constant whining and nagging is a thing of the past and so is Brantley's constant tantrums. I swear, if I am blessed with a fated mate and we have a son, he will be expected to go through warrior training and will work for everything he gets." I said, "I'm sure there is a mate for you. Luna Abby from my old pack has a ball every year for unmated males and females of all species that we are in al

When we finally made it to the dining room, that smell hit me again, so I went to the private dining room. Aidinth followed me in and said, "Did you figure out what that smell is, love?" I shook my head as I gave my order to the staff. When I was done, I said, "I have no idea what it is." The girl who took my order said, "It might be the hash we have on the buffet today. We had it there yesterday too. Would you like for me to bring a spoonful for you to smell?" I said, "That would be amazing. At least then I will know when I need to eat in here." She went to the dining room, came back, I took a very small whiff and heaved slightly. I held up my hand, "That's what it is. Would you mind letting me know whenever that is on the buffet?" She said, "I will do that for you, Princess. I remember that miserable feeling. I wouldn't wish it on anyone." I said, "You are an angel." She smiled, "Thank you, your majesty." Then she turned to go to the kitchen. Aidinth and I were eatin

Aidinth and I walked to our room, after visiting a while longer, and he said, "What do you think about leaving today?" I said, "That really doesn't seem like a bad idea, but we have the funeral tomorrow morning. We really can't miss that. What do you think about leaving after that?" He said, "We can do that. Why don't we take some time to ourselves in the next town over today? I would really like to see you relax today. Tomorrow is going to be intense on so many levels, I would just really like to see you rest today." I said, "Now that the park is done, the kids won't be bugging us. Do you want to just chill in here all day? I would like to stay close, just in case someone needs us." He said, "Okay. But I will bring our meals in here. I don't want you going out of this room unless someone needs us. Okay?" Of course, that didn't last long. Queen Nina called and asked us to come to the conference room. We made it there, and King Tatsuo said, "Princess Chloe, can you tell me ab

After King Tatsuo left our room, Aidinth and I ate our breakfast, then I decided I had better start getting ready to go. After I showered, I walked into our closet and put on the most basic, black, long sleeve dress I had. I put on my black knee-length boots and walked to my makeup table. I blow dried my hair and put it in a high bun. I kept makeup to a minimum, doing nothing with my eyes, because I knew I would have streaks of makeup running down my face, if I did. I turned around and Aidinth said, "Stunning." I laughed, "I don't understand. I literally have no makeup on, this dress is as basic as they come, and my hair is just in a bun. What is so stunning about me right now?" He smiled, "You. The fact that you are beautiful on the outside, the fact that you are a beautiful person. The fact that you glow because you are carrying my children. All of it. The clothes you wear, the way you wear your hair, and the amount of makeup you wear is not what makes you beautiful. You radiate b

We went back to the castle and walked straight to our room. I said, "Ugh! That was hard to get through." He said, "Yeah. That's the thing about suicide. Not only is it a permanent solution to a temporary problem, but it's also a pretty selfish solution to a problem." I said, "True, but when you're the one going through the problem, it's not so easy to get through. And I would say having a child pass away is a pretty permanent problem. Don't you think?" He looked at me curiously, "Chloe, is there something you would like to tell me about?" I said, "I tried committing suicide when I was younger. The only reason I wasn't successful is my werewolf healing." He sat on the bed and pulled me onto his lap. "Why and how?" I said, "When I was thirteen, things started piling up on me. I was being bullied in school, I was having horrific visions and I had no way to process them. I knew nothing about what was happening to me, except that all of these people in these visions depended on m

As Aidinth started the car and put it in gear, he asked, "So what was that thing you just did with my parents?" I said, "The holding hands thing?" He nodded and I said, "Well, your mom was in the sitting room, crying, when we saw her. When I went to your dad's office, he had tears falling. I felt like they should be supporting each other instead of hiding the tears from each other." He took my hand and said, "You really are a special kind of Princess, Chloe. My family is so lucky to have you in it and I am the luckiest for getting to live with you for the rest of my life." I said, "I'm not that special. I did what any loving person would do." He said, "That's the thing; there really aren't many loving people around, anymore." We drove up a mountain, and I started seeing absolutely beautiful scenery. It almost took my breath away. When we got over the treetops, I could see the beautiful deep, dark green of all the evergreens and the oranges, yellows and reds of all the other

What a ride we have had in these last ten years. Aidinth and I are still blissfully happy with each other, and our kids are amazing. We are still being called to areas around the world to host anti-poaching campaigns. My favorites have been to China, to protect the pandas, and to Africa to protect the wild cats. I fell in love with the wild versions of these animals. The werebears and werecats have been trying to protect themselves as well as the full blood version with a fierceness that I have not seen anywhere else. Mainly because they were getting desperate. Aidinth and I went there and ended up calling Luna Abby in for reinforcements. The poachers for these animals are willing to kill and die for the money they expect to receive for the parts they keep of these animals. It’s crazy and stupid. Money should never be the driving force behind what we do. These poachers do not get it though. We had a lot of poachers locked up in those areas. They won’t be getting out any time soon ei

Six weeks later, we are at home, and I am downright miserable. I am waddling everywhere I go, and Aidinth, somehow, still thinks I'm cute. Today, we have company. Both of my brothers came up to visit and brought Sergio and his wife with them. We have been having a blast. Luna Abby came up yesterday with Alpha Damien and told us that the anti-poaching event in Alaska went great. So far, they have locked up one hundred eighty poachers. They think some may have chosen to get out of poaching altogether. We were all absolutely thrilled at that news. Today, Adrien and Julien came over to meet Sergio, Zaiden, and Allen. They all went on a walk around the woods, and we visited while Luna Abby and I cooked dinner. In the middle of cooking dinner, I felt a warm liquid rush down my legs. I whispered to Luna Abby, "I think my water just broke." She looked at my feet and said, I think so too. She smiled, "Let's get the doctor. Okay?" I nodded and she grabbed my phone. I logged in and she

Saturday morning, I woke up and jumped out of bed. I am so excited about this Pow Wow. I love them so much! Aidinth has never been to one, so he has no idea what to expect. I am super excited, so as soon as I’m done in the shower, I get dressed and walk downstairs. I decide that I want to make Indian frybread, after I finish making breakfast, to set the mood for the Pow Wow. As Aidinth and I are eating breakfast, Luna Abby calls to tell me they are in the building and there must be five thousand people there. I was floored. She said that King Uther made it, along with a few of his warriors, and Gryphon plans on showing up with a unicorn and Pegasus. I chuckled, “Be on the lookout for Sid. You know how he likes to make an entrance.” Luna Abby laughed, “Oh yes he does.” We finished talking about the arrangements, and the plan for the presentation, then we ended the call because she had people approaching her to introduce themselves. I smiled, knowing the event is in good hands

As we sat on the couch eating snacks and laughing at movies, I couldn’t help but wonder what is happening with Luna Abby. I’m sure she is still flying or driving, but it’s eating at me. Aidinth pauses the movie and smiles at me, “You can’t get out of Princess mode, can you?” I shrug my shoulders, “I’m just wondering where they are. That’s all. I know Luna Abby will keep me informed. She’s amazing at that. It just bugs me.” He pulled me close to him, “Do you need to go bake something?” I laughed, “You know me so well. I may need to do that. Let’s finish watching this movie, then I will think about it.” That is when my phone rang. I answered on the first ring without even looking to see who is calling, “Hello?” To my relief, it was Luna Abby, “Hey Princess Chloe, I have Alpha Damien, Gideon Begay, his mate Willow Begay, his brother and second in command, Denali Begay, and his mate, Isla Begay.” I put the phone on speaker and said, “Hello everyone, I am Princess Chloe Bergeron

Aidinth and I sat on the couch, napping, laughing, and watching TV for the rest of the day. Once in a while, I would step outside to check on the wolves. It is so good to see their pups thriving. It feels good to know that I had something to do with that. The white pup has learned to camouflage himself on his own now. The only time he doesn’t is when he is going in our garage for the night. He knows that he is safe in there. I woke up this morning seeing much more sunlight than I am used to seeing. I looked around and realized I’m still on the couch! Did Aidinth leave me down here? I started to get up and found that an arm had a vice-like grip on me. I’m sure it’s just to keep me from falling off, but I really need to pee. I tapped his arm, and he instinctively loosened his hold, without waking up. I walked upstairs to our room, and did my business, then took my shower. I dried myself off and walked to the closet. I put on a pair of maternity leggings and a huge t shirt, bec

Wow. The last three months have been a whirlwind. It has been three months since the event in Louisiana, and it was a major success. The local humans have joined the game wardens in keeping an eye out for poachers. Sergio has discovered that it’s mostly people who come in from out of state that are poaching. The locals who were poaching got caught very quickly after the event. Their own family or friends turned them in. It was nuts for them for a little while, but things have settled down a lot for them. Right now, I’m sitting with Aidinth at the doctor’s office, waiting for my doctor to come in the room. As she enters, she smiles, “So, would you like to find out what you’re having today?” I smiled, “I would love to know, so we can prepare.” She brought the ultrasound machine in, but it didn’t look like the same one she usually uses. I asked, “What is different about that machine?” She explained, “This is a high-definition ultrasound. If we can get them in the right position

When we got to the airport, Aidinth watched the guys unload the car with wide eyes, “Was there anything left in the store?” I laughed, “I couldn’t help it! They had all my favorite clothes in every size that I’m going to need.” He laughed as he wrapped his arms around me, “It’s fine, my love. I know you need them.” Then he put his hands on my belly, “They did seem to triple in size overnight.” I nodded, “I know.” We got on the plane, and I sat down. I took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little flutter in my stomach. I put my hand on it, and it happened again. This time, I could feel it from the outside too. I must have had a weird look on my face, because Aidinth asked, “Are you okay?” I smiled, “More than okay.” I motioned for him to sit down, and he did. I took his hand and put it over the spot where the baby was moving. His eyes glistened with unshed tears, “That is the coolest thing ever. That’s my child in there.” I nodded and he kissed me tenderly, then he said, “Things are

As we made it to town, I started noticing kids just walking around town. I asked Queen Judia, "What's going on with the kids? Why are they just walking around?" She shrugged her shoulders, "I really don't think they have much to do. They are in town, because it's more boring at home, and there is no school today." I asked, "Do you have a fairly large area that I can use to give them something to do?" She said, "We have a park, but it's not that big. It's mainly for the little ones. But it is big enough to add on to it." I smiled, "Why don't we go over there first. Seeing these kids like this is really bugging me." Queen Judia laughed, "Let's go." When we got to the park, I agreed that this was mainly for little kids. I smiled, "Let's give the bigger kids something to do." I suggested, "First, how about an obstacle course?" The kids gathered around us, and I greeted them all, "Hey guys! I'm about to improve your park, so there is something for you all to do. First, how

When we got back to King Mateo’s castle, we ate a late dinner, and sat outside in lounge chairs by the water and just enjoyed each other’s company. We had been talking and laughing until I heard a hiss, and a ball was thrown into my lap. I laughed as King Mateo shook his head, “Chloe, you have spoiled him beyond belief.” I laughed at Hugo, “Youaren’tspoiled, are you, Hugo? You just love me.” Hugo nodded his head and made a hissing sound that sounded like a laugh. Everyone laughed at what he did. Queen Judia laughed, “Chloe, you make him do things that I have never seen him do.” I laughed, “That’snothing. Watch this.” Then I looked at Hugo, “Can I hug you, Hugo?” He nodded his head and I levitated him to my eye level. I was petting his face, and said, “I need a hug. Is that okay?” He nodded and I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him. Aidinth chuckled, “I never thought I would be jealous of an alligator.” I put Hugo down and tossed the ball f
