All Chapters of Enchanting the Prince: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

“How? How did this happen?” I ask, looking around in amazement. This isn’t just spring, this is the spring to end all springs. If Araphyra was magical before, it’s an enchanted forest now. I look at Buppig, but he’s looking at Aolis, his eyebrow raised. I turn to look at Aolis, just as his arms come around my waist. “Do you remember the stories of Safe Haven when my father mated with Anastasia?” I look at him and my eyes go wide. “You did this?” I ask him. “We did this.” He says, running his nose over my hair. “Whoa.” I say, looking back over the fields in full bloom, miles and miles of them. I turn looking at the line of people standing and waiting to try and pull Aolis’s sword from the ground. “When that which is sealed Becomes unsealed” I say and I feel the magic in the air, making the hair on my arms raise. “When the last of her kind Shares her light and life” Aolis continues and the feeling increases, making the hair all over my body raise. “You will know that she I

I really wanted to catch up with Leana, but when Aolis told me that the fae councilman was not the one he had appointed to cover for him, I knew that I had to be by his side. I still made a point of saying hi to Drake. I don’t know what’s going on with him and his father, but King Lance seems to have made a decision about which side of the Guardian battle he wants to be on. I’m hoping this is a positive thing for Leana. When Aolis and I pull Phiren into the council chambers, I can tell he’s terrified. “I’m going to ask you questions and your life expectancy depends on the honesty of your answers.” Aolis says and I don't think I've ever heard this level of menace in my mate's voice. “Yes, Your Majesty.” “Where is Illithor?” “Lorelai has him in the same place she has the other family members that she captured.” “And where is that?” I ask. I know Aolis has had warriors out looking for the missing families. They haven't yet been able to find them. “They are in NightStar. The last I

I spent the next several days helping to heal the fae who had been held captive by Lorelai. It wasn’t just the physical pain that they had to heal from. Many of them had lost their loved ones in the fae war when Lorelai had attacked Araphyra. At the end of the day, I’d fall into bed, exhausted. Then wake the next day, getting whatever news there was of Aolis before heading back to the hospital. A couple days after he left, another group of survivors was brought in and my days continued to be long and arduous. By the end of the week, I’m exhausted but I need to get outside. I’ve barely seen the sun over the past week, because I’ve been so busy helping those that needed me. I decide to go for a walk in the forest. I need to breathe the fresh air, smell the forest and hear the sounds of the fae. As I walk, I close my eyes, letting Hera’s senses guide me, as I soak in the calm around me. I find myself taking the same deep breaths that I take when Aolis and I are mating, feeling the wor

The moment Aolis told me it was time to pull the sword, I felt it. It was time. And when I pulled the sword, feeling the power flow through it, through Lucero, through Hera, I felt the connection to every fae creature in the land. Every sprite, every fairy, every leprechaun, every troll, all of them are now connected to me, in my mind and in my heart. Hera, Lucero and I all agreed that the time had come for Alpha Dominic to stand again. I wasn’t sure what I needed to do, until I felt the power begin to flow from the spot on my forehead where Lucero had touched me. From there, it flowed down my body, connecting with Hera’s power, pooling them together before combining with mine and flowing into the sword and into Dominic’s body. Like before, I could feel his pain, feel his suffering, but unlike before, my strength and power pushed it aside. Instead of commanding Dominic to shift, like I had before, I quietly suggested that it was time. His body responded instantly and the power flowi

It was several days before we made it back to Araphyra. As we went around to the townships, healing the land and its people, we also found others that had been imprisoned by Lorelai. While my new found power couldn’t bring back the dead, I was able to ensure that no more families lost their mates, parents or children. When we arrive in Araphyra, the atmosphere was one of celebration and happiness. Everyone surrounds us, wanting to congratulate us on Lorelai’s defeat, thanking me for eliminating the darkness in the land, and for bringing families back together. When I get to the castle steps, Ailduin is there waiting for us. Unlike everyone else, his eyes are not happy and I know something is wrong. “Lily, your father has been trying to reach you. Please call him.” I know my heart rate speeds up. Aolis wraps his arm around me, not taking his eyes off his father. “What happened?” Ailduin looks at him. “It would be best if Lily heard it from her father.” I race inside, going straigh
