Chapter 27
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

I woke up in bed alone. Confused. Turned on. Heartbroken."Nyx?" I covered myself in the top sheet and went downstairs. "Nyx?!"He was cooking?"Oh, good morning Princess. I'm sorry these earbuds are great for listening to my music and not wake you. I've made you a fruit smoothie with some added minerals and a couple of fresh dew drops to help heal your aching heart." He kept his head down and worked on the eggs in front of him. "Please sit. Eat." He tried to smile but it wasn't convincing."What's up with you Nyx? Something seems different." I stood leaning on the counter watching him cook finish the eggs and turn off the stove. His head hung low, his black hair hiding his eyes."Princess, do you know that you talk while you dream?" He still couldn't look at me."Uh-oh what did I say?"

Walking with Oisin had been like a dream. His musk overwhelmed me. His touch created sparks that I had been missing. Overall, Oisin is intoxicating.Where were we going?"I have to admit, I can't take full credit for this." He knocks twice loudly on the ballroom door. "Fiona, as 'Liv', has been your confident while living overseas and you've told her a lot of embarrassing secrets.""Oh no!" I giggled and gasped. What would she plan in the ballroom? What did I tell her? I shift uncomfortably in my heels.Oisin winks at me and clears his throat.The doors open to a long table decorated in French food. I'm offered the head of the table, Oisin pulling my chair out for me, as he takes the seat next to me. It's too dark to really see what's going on but the food smells and looks delicious.And then the magic happens!Be our guest, be our guest...Oh my go

I paced back and forth in my room waiting for Maggie's mom to show up. I had summoned her right after I left Oisin standing alone in the ballroom."Maybe she doesn't want anyone else here, Princess, maybe we should leave or hide." Maeve made sense."Good idea. Stay close though." I continued to pace as the day wore on. The sun was setting again and I had hoped to be able to see Oisin and Fiona tonight. Maybe with some answers or strategies.What did I do wrong? Why is she not here?"Because I have better things to do. I'm not your mum and not at your beck and call."Finally!"Why wouldn't you want to be at my beck and call?" I felt a twinge of hurt.The old woman sat on my bed the same as last time.
