"We're almost done, your Majesty." Mr Laine apologised from where he stood next to the the vanity, observing the make up artists work."It's alright, beauty needs patience, right?" I reassured with a light chuckle trying not to move as much as possible so as not to disturb the lady doing my make up."That is true indeed, my Queen." He chuckled."And," The lady said, applying one last swipe of lipstick on my already red lips," I believe we are done, your Highness.""Thank you." I smiled in gratitude as I prepared to stand up just to have the door burst open to reveal a stunning Emma as she strutted across the room in awe."My my do you look precious, my Darling," She gushed as she stopped in front of me, but in all honesty, she was the beautiful one between the two of us. Her luscious pitch black locks seemed to effortlessly glisten in the bright light of the evening rays as they freely flowed down her shoulders and back. Instead of it being in its usual curls, it was as straight as a
"May I ask what it will be about?" I took a chance to ask even as I risked throwing an eye to my side, only to find the space empty. Emma had left at some point."Mother and Father are greeting the entering guests. We will be meeting back with them shortly." Theo explained somehow having noticed my divided attention."Oh." I measly answered as I discreetly wiped my damp and sweaty palms on my dress. "Please do not worry yourself over this, Sweetheart. I assure you it is nothing bad and it does not involve that extremely long slit that is showcasing what is only for my eyes to witness," He growled the last part as his eyes burned a golden hue for a second before he released a shaky breath and warmly smiled at me. "My apologies for that, Love."He seemed quite on edge tonight and that worried me because for as long as I have known him, he has never been this irritable or on edge before. "Are you alright?" I asked with concern dripping from my words."I will be," He assured as he offer
"I was just about to come looking for the four of you." Emma sighed in relief."My apologies, Mother. It took a bit longer than expected," Theo calmly apologised," Where is Father?"Emma simply released a sigh before shaking her head with a smile,"A king will always be a king, Sweetheart. He's mingling with other royals and acquaintances. You know he can never sit without doing anything."Theo hummed and nodded in agreement before leaning down to press a kiss onto my cheek. "I better go amuse our guests." He sighed, clearly not pleased with the idea even as he gracefully dragged his body towards a group across the room.""He took that from me," Emma groaned, placing her hand against her forehead." I was never a social butterfly either.""Seriously? How did you manage during these kinds of events then?" I curiously asked even as I smiled at her in amusement earning myself a playful glare from her before she sighed."I spoke when needed." She winked."I honestly took you for a social but
"The evening seems to have gone quite well with no hiccups in the slightest." Theo sighed in relief as he neatly placed his coat on the couch."Yeah, I'm glad there were no problems." I smiled as I made my way towards him as he plopped down on the couch and rested his head on the headrest so he could look up at the ceiling."I hope my grandparents did not overwhelm you, I know they can be quite overwhelming sometimes." He apologised while furrowing his eyebrows. "They were very sweet," I giggled as I stood in front of him just to have his eyes open to reveal a pair of tired but happy and satisfied chocolate brown orbs." You look tired." "I am." He merely sighed, closing his eyes again, his features relaxing as peace washed over them and I think I know how to make it all even better. Biting my inner cheek, I raised two fingers from each hand and pressed them against each of his temples before gently rubbing in a soothing manner that I hope would sooth his mind and body. A quiet moa
Theodore's POV"Good evening, my lovely wife and children." I cheerfully greeted as I stepped into the bedroom where my very pregnant mate was comfortably laying on our daughter's bed with a book in hand and a twin on each side."Daddy!" Evangeline excitedly called as she all but jumped off the bed and flew into my arms."Woah," I laughed as I hugged my princess to my chest while Everett remained perched to her side remaining a loyal Mama's boy." How are you, my Sweet Princess?" "I'm fine thanks, and how are you, Daddy?" She cutely responded."Good evening, Father." Everett greeted but showed no sign of moving."Won't you be hugging your father?" My sweet mate asked our son with amused eyes."I will," He responded, smiling up at his mother," Later," He snuggled further into his mother's side before running his hand over my mate's protruding stomach."He moved!" He excitedly said."Really?" Evangeline excitedly asked as she just as excitedly squirmed in my arms."Be careful, Evangeline
Elise's POV"Come on E, you're 21 now, it's time to get yourself out there. It's time to mingle with the fish." Whined my bestest of friends, Claire."I know, I guess I'm just not ready yet, besides fish can give you diseases." I mumbled."You've been saying that for how many years now?" Claire raised an eyebrow in disapproval, clearly not brushing off my last comment," E, you're 21, soon you'll be who knows how old and still single. Elli, I'm worried about you here.""But there's nothing to be worried about. Claire, I'm only 21 not 90. I still have a lot of time." I tried to convince her with a smile of reassurance, notice the keyword, 'tried'."Uh-huh." Claire hummed, not even trying to hide the boredom from her flawless, pale features and tone." Okay, how about this, try out the new dating App, I mean there's nothing to lose, right? Besides, I've heard that it's been successful for many people out there. Even my colleague got herself a hunk of a man." "I don't know." I nervously a
"Thanks for dessert, Mom. It was absolutely delicious." I smiled, quickly leaning over to place a kiss on her cheek just as she leaned over to meet me half way."You're welcome, Hon." She giggled, very happy to be appreciated and to have pleased our taste buds. Mom always prides herself with her food."Well, I'm gonna go to bed. I have an early morning tomorrow." I said, stretching my arms as a yawn slipped past my lips followed by a few tears that slightly clouded my vision."Yeah, you do. Go along, Sweetheart. I'll finish up here," Mom urged with a soft understanding smile. Another yawn involuntarily escaped my lips, telling me that it was definitely time to call it a night. With a slight wave to my mom, I walked in the direction of the kitchen exit." Goodnight, Baby Girl!""Goodnight Mom. I love you." I called back behind me."Not as much as I do." She said with a light chuckle that had me also releasing one.By the time I dragged my once more tired limbs into my bedroom, I just wa
"Why?" I found myself shakily asking."Well, have you downloaded a dating app recently?" He asked, making me quirk my eyebrow in confusion."Yes," I replied nonetheless. "Kind of.""That app, my Lady is a magical app designed many years ago by the witches and wizards of the world. Its meant to help umated supernatural beings find their mates or beloveds or life partners if you will, from wherever they were. Eventually, the application extended into a new dimension, yours to be specific. We found that some people could not find their other halves even while using the application so our wizards and witches 'upgraded' the application recently as to help those beings. To our greatest joy and luck, the application became a success. Many people started discovering their other halves. Unfortunately it came with a price," He softly sighed," Seeing as your people are from a different dimension than ours, the application teleports your kind into our world without your supernatural counterpart h
