• THE ROYALLY SCREWED PRINCESS   AUTHOR'S NOTE

  Firstly, I would like to thank you all for reading and being patient with me. It has been decided that the vampires and the dragons will each have a series of their own continuing from their books in this series. I would also like to apologize because as I revised the book, I realized that most of the time instead of writing Areli, I wrote Alina which must have been confusing for some of you. Thank you so much for supporting and being a part of this journey guys. Next on the list is Logan’s story (THE ROYALLY SCREWED ROGUE) I will start updating the book next month. I will also start a new werewolf series this month. To stay updated, please check out my f* pg (Setiyele M.) Lots of love, Tema G.M

• THE ROYALLY SCREWED PRINCESS   44. BEGINNING TO AN END

  Brum was following me around like a lost puppy and I hated it. He was there when I got out of the shower. The bed was made, his shoulders lowered in defeat. He was there when the ladies brought in an outfit for me. He was there as I stood, fully dressed, ready to address my people. He went to pull on his t-shirt and shorts, walking after me, irking me with his presence that I tried and failed to ignore.I walked out of my royal quarters, staring at blank walls. I valiantly ignored my churning emotions, a consequence of walking these walls without my father's presence. I was well and truly alone. The caves and mountain seemed larger than they had ever been before. Not even Kia’s wails could vanquish the cold and emptiness of the caves, caves I would reside in alone.They looked darker and haunted. The life and beauty drained out of them.I cocked my head up to the sound of rapid footsteps and met Drakko's gaze with my own as he made his way to me. He bowed his head as soon as he saw me

• THE ROYALLY SCREWED PRINCESS   43. I HATE YOU

  Ziss’s P.O.VA loud piercing cry pulled me from the dark cloud I had been drowning in. It was persistent, leading me out of the abyss I was drowning in. It pulled me out into the light and my senses sparked one after the other until I became aware. I felt the muted warmth of another body as it warmed my own. I felt strong arms caging me in a way that should have been suffocating but brought me so much comfort. I became aware of the intoxicating scent that healed me with each breath I took. And the most traumatizing, I knew Kia had touched ground on the land.Five heart beats could be counted in the room. The silence was broken only by the soft thudding of their hearts, their constant breathing and of course, Kia’s cries, wherever he was. 'Where am I?', I thought, sifting through a cloud of my last memories but then...everything came crashing back. The pain, the ache, and the heavy grief with the horror of everything that had happened. I found myself clenching my arms tightly against

• THE ROYALLY SCREWED PRINCESS   42.1 REVENGE AND RETRIBUTION

  I had never felt so powered. I was fighting for myself. I was fighting for my baby who he had cut out of me. I was fighting for my mother and how he broke my father’s heart. I kept going, kept hitting him over and over. Uther fought back but it was as if I was immune to his hits because I never even felt them. I roared up in anger, my righthand shifting midair with the other holding Brum by the collar. I slashed into his chest with anger. My grey-furred hand was left red as he screamed like a bitch. I threw his body away, not wanting to end it so quickly. I did not want to make it so easy for him. Not when he tore my family apart. Not when he took my baby away from me. I threw my head back and howled. I turned to pin my eyes to my brother who was crawling backward with his wounds healing. I ran for him. He stood up, turning around to run away only for the warriors to push him back. Uther stumbled right into my claws. I made sure not to hit any vital organs. As heavy as he was, I pus

• THE ROYALLY SCREWED PRINCESS   42. REVENGE AND RETRIBUTION

  Ziss’s P.O.V I thought I knew pain. The pain of being unwanted and a constant burden with snide remarks said at your every passing. The pain of watching your uncle stab your mother to death in her attempt to save you while your younger brother watches. The pain of losing your home, your anchor and nearly losing yourself. The pain of being rejected by a person who was supposed to love you. Losing the only person who was by your side from the start. Losing your child. I thought I knew pain but I was wrong. I felt every single string in my heart regrow. I felt each inch of my liver regenerate. I was dead yet alive, aware of second passage of time. I felt my body sew itself together in such an unholy and twisted way. My heart began pumping as soon as the vessels connected only for it to rupture because my body was larger than what my heart could support. The pain of dying over and over again, each time the heart rips apart. My soul crumbled and shuttered. I wished to drift away. I wished

• THE ROYALLY SCREWED PRINCESS   41.1 MOUNT ZION PART II

  We reached Mount Zion in record time. It was fifty thousand feet, rugged, yet Dante ran up it as if it was flat land. I kept thinking we would fall but he kept going even when the harsh winds began drifting through. We were not on dragon territory yet but we would be able to see in especially with our sharp vision. It took hours to reach the top and when we did, Dante lowered me down. His eyes already scanned through the land. We lay down on our stomachs, looking at the royal village. It was just past morning, people doing their chores yet something was very very wrong. I had a bad feeling about this. We would walk in blind and anything could happen but it is a chance we would take. “Should we start at his village?” I asked. “No. They would have seen what he sent to us by now and apprehended him. He is in the royal village, if he is still alive anyway.” Dante said back coldly, turning around. “He is alive, Dante. He is. Don’t give up hope yet.” I took a deep breath, hoping he was.
