Chapter 24
I stand behind a red heavy dropped silk curtain waiting to be announced. My parents just made their way out and from the noise level it sounds like everyone in Manhattan is here.
"Try to breathe miss." Violet fans me with a copy of the invitation. I'm sweating so much I might as well not have spent 6 hours getting my hair and make-up done.
"I can't do this Violet." My heart is pounding in my chest like a drum. I'm sure many supernatural beings already have located me before I've entered the ball.
"Miss? They called your name..." that's all I hear before Violet shoved me. So unlike her!
A beautiful male faery escorts me out onto the platform where the makeshift thrones have been placed. They look identical to the ones in the throne room but this place is ma

Fiona's POVI refuse to leave while my brothers and my best friend are obviously in so much pain. The ball is gorgeous and my pull towards Liam is strong but I have to stay away.Maggie. What an old bitter crime?! She spells the room, our mate bonds, curses her own bloodline - who does that?!A self-centered psychopathic bitch.We've left the ball to head to our rooms but Oisin looks so devastated. I can't leave him alone right now."Liam, why don't you go ahead of us?" He had been a few steps behind us, keeping his distance since the day Oisin left him out of the conversation in his room. He grabs my waist and pulls me into him. His scent is as intoxicating as ever and his hands gripping onto me is strong; bringing back memories and a feeling of familiarity. "Liam, not now." He growls but let's go and nods.

Evelyn's POV"Wake up!!" I hear the tapping of a walking stick on the floor.I don't remember falling asleep."Who are you?" An elderly woman sits on my bed with an ethereal presence."Comfy. You summoned me. Why are you on the floor?" She looks a little like me if I were 100 years-old. "It's rude to stare you know. I might be old and dead but I can still see clearly." I get the feeling she doesn't mean just your normal vision.Summoned? My spell worked?! "I'm sorry. I did that spell days ago. Why now? How did it work? Holyfuckingshit it worked!" I stutter excitedly as I try to collect myself. I sit myself up against the door so no one will bother us. "Thank you for being here.""Didn't have much o

When we walk out onto the patio I see my father is discussing business with his right hand man, Nyx. He's a dark faery. I've only seen him from afar, but being this close to him I can feel his pull. He immediately notices us and tries to step away but my father offers him to stay and we are formally introduced."Nyx, this is my daughter, the Princess Evelyn.""It's a pleasure to meet you." He bows. His eyes are vivid green that grow dark as he looks me up and down. His long tangled raven black hair doesn't move when he lifts his head. I want to rustle it up. His eyebrow one quirks up like he knows what I'm thinking. His tight black outfit has a lot of unnecessary zippers I want to play with, I can tell my eyes have roamed a little too much when my father clears his throat.How can he give off such a bad-boy vibe and be so beautiful?He starts to laugh. "What's so funn

We played tag in the gardens under the warm sun; it felt so freeing to play like a child. I couldn't help but feel happy around Nyx. Which made me feel guilty because I knew of 3 of men I was stringing along.He crashed into me while I was deep in thought. "Why so sad Princess? Do you need someone to cheer you up?" The grassy knoll was soft and although Nyx laid on top of me I felt like he wasn't forcing himself upon me. "Princess, you know you can tell me anything, right? I work for the royal court, my loyalty will always be to you and your family." His finger tips traced the outline of my lips. Lust was clouding my judgement and I couldn't have that. Not right now."Nyx, this has been fun. And I haven't laughed like that in years. I nearly wet myself!" I giggled and his eyes lit up. "But you know I have other suitors and 1 of them is way out in front. I don't want to lead you on, or anyone else for

I felt like I looked like a sex kitten for my dates. We decided on midnight blue butt shaping tights and a sexy body suit that had cut outs would be good for my walk after dinner with the Alpha. I added a short, shimmery, see through, like gossamer golden dress, if you could call it that. It feels a lot like dress-up as a little girl in a tutu. My hair is in long loose curls going down to my waist with a mermaid braid crown. To be honest my favorite part were my white Keds.A knock on my door made me jump. It's still a tad early. Violet brings me a note making me giddy.My heart stops when I see it's from Oisin. "Read it out loud Princess!" My maidens were giddy but my heart had sunk. I didn't have a date with him until tomorrow night. A full 24 hours.Princess,So you've saved the best for last? At least that's what I have to tell myself. Being away from you has been far from easy. I mis

After King Rian was no longer in sight, Alpha Jackson Knox turns his full attention towards me and my knees buckle.A shorter sandy blonde haired, tanned, bulkier young man steps out from behind his Alpha. I didn't even see him there, but I guess that's part of the point: chaperones are there but not there."Princess Evelyn, allow me to introduce to you my Beta and best friend, Zach." Zach put his hand out but looked to his Alpha who was shaking his head no. I tried not to laugh when Zach bowed to me.I felt somewhat comfortable with these Americans! Heck, they didn't have the same accent as me or share the same zip code back home but they were from my side of the Atlantic. It was like having a little slice of home with me. The good parts about home like hot guys, werewolves, baseball, America's greatest pastime, and high fructose corn

"You can fly?!" I shivered from the cold sweat that broke out during my exchange with Alpha Knox and the air moving from Nyx's wings. "You have wings?!" I smiled trying to touch them. I couldn't even see them. Although they looked much more like large dragon fly wings, I had imagined angel-like wings."Please do not touch, Princess." He sounded annoyed as he put his hand out pointing towards the castle. "They can be ripped and it's a headache to repair."I gazed at him like the truly special specimen he was, as a man and a faerie. "Why are we walking if you can fly?"He rolled his eyes and kept walking, checking behind to see if I was following him. I stayed back a few steps to try to find his wings that seemed to disappear."Just like an insect or bird, my wings can be tucked away." He stopped and looked back giving me a smirk. "Remember I can hear your thoughts and

"Princess, we're here." Nyx gently went to let me go but when my legs wobbled he picked me up again.His cottage home was in the middle of a forest, surrounded by trees and the sounds of animals and other critters that come alive at night. It wasn't what I had expected, but I also hadn't really thought about where Nyx lived. I had assumed he lived in the castle like some of the other upper level staff. It had a thatched roof and was made of wood that was painted white. His door and window treatments were black. A stark contrast that was softened by pink and purple garden beds aligning his natural rock walkway. I could hear water moving somewhere but couldn't see it. He did have trimmed hedges which seemed unnecessary since he lived in the middle of the forest. Ivy vines ran up a trellis on the side of his house and he had a door plate in the shape of a crescent moon.When we entered I finally let him put me down and I looked around. With one flick o
