“Why is everyone acting all clueless? We know who did this.” Joan walks to the front and stands next to the stairs. “It’s our princess right here,” she points at me.

“No one was speaking to you, young lady,” King Bernard glares at her.

The room breaks into chaos again.

‘Charles, you knew about this? You two were plotting against me? This was your intention all along?’ I ask him telepathically, and for the first time since we got in the throne room, Charles looks at me.

‘I love her,’ he shrugs apologetically.

‘I’m going to tell them the truth. I’ll tell them about how you brought those people to get the werewolves into trouble with the law, but I made them leave.’

‘You won’t do it,’ he grins.

‘Watch me!’

‘If you dare, I’ll destroy your entire family. Not just you. Are you ready to reveal that you are a vegetarian? No, let me rephrase that.' He sighs dramatically. ‘Are you ready to reveal that everyone in your family doesn’t drink human blood anymore?’

  • Old Souls: Vampire Princess Vs The Last Lycan   Accused

    Esther'Every vampire to the throne room. We have been invaded by werewolves.'Jane glances at me. “What if Dominic came here to distract you so that...” “No!” I interject. “You know that a throne room meeting means an almost friendly visit and King Bernard is being dramatic. They didn’t attack us. Why would Dominic need to distract me?” She shakes her head. “I hope when the time comes, you’ll remember where your loyalty lies.” “You don’t have to pin everything on him to try to convince me he's a bad person. I told you I would never see him again.” “That’s what you said last night,” she sighs, her calm demeanor infuriating me, making me feel like I’m irrational and impulsive, which I am. “Ugh!” I groan, and she presses her lips together. I disappear into my walk-in closet, and I put on a coat to cover up. “What if a fight breaks out?” She asks when I walk out. “Then we fight in nightgowns,” I shrug."Let's not argue, you know I hate it when we do, and I promise to never mentio

  • Old Souls: Vampire Princess Vs The Last Lycan   Dominic's Visit

    Esther After the reception, and fake smiles for endless hours, I rush to my room to avoid my parents. They don’t have to tell me, but I notice how nervous they are about the vegetarian vampires who are in the dungeon, and they are probably worried that our family might be next. After taking a shower, Dominic’s scent hits me the moment I open the door, and I try to listen for his heartbeat. “Just because your scent is undetectable to others, that doesn’t give you permission to come and go as you please,” I say, standing in the middle of the room and looking around. He walks out of the closet, his face unreadable, but focused on me. “What are you doing here, anyway?” I eye him suspiciously, looking for any sign of the needle. “You think I’m going to try to kill you again?” He chuckles, holding his hands up. “What was in that needle?” “Something that was supposed to make you forget about our encounter at Kings Canyon.” He shrugs. “You think I was born yesterday? If you wanted me

  • Old Souls: Vampire Princess Vs The Last Lycan   Wedding Reception

    EstherMy father and I walk down the aisle on the beach, wearing a designer gown by Alonzo, the most expensive vampire fashion designer. I smile back at about 200 smiling vampires who have the highest ranks as we walk. I avert my gaze to Charles on the altar, and he sheds a tear, getting a reaction of "awwww!" from those who believe that he is not faking it. Bernard, Charles's father, officiates the wedding, and I zone in and out of Charles' speech about how much he loves me. After saying our vows, we all take a large private plane to San Bernardino, one of the Du Pont Forests. We go to the beautifully decorated garden, and as expected, Margaret outdid herself. "How did I do?" She fidgets nervously with her hands. I pause for dramatic effect. "You outdid yourself," I smile, and her face immediately lights up. I hold her in a hug, telling her that I'm glad we are sisters, but in my heart, I secretly wish that Charles wasn't the reason that brought us together. Charles and I sit

  • Old Souls: Vampire Princess Vs The Last Lycan   Uncle Felix

    Esther I sink into the throne, and I stay seated, staring at the walls and feeling lost. “Penny for your thoughts, my queen?” My uncle Felix bows as he enters the throne room. “Seeing you on that throne makes me emotional. You belong there.” “Don’t call me that, I’m not a queen yet.” I smile, relieved to see him. “But you will be our queen in a few days. I can’t believe you are leaving me.” I get down from the throne and rush to him. We hold each other in a hug and complain about how we are going to miss each other. Uncle Felix has always been more like my father more than my father has. “Was Charles an excellent host?” He holds my shoulders, watching my face closely, and I instantly know that he would know if I lie to him. “Uncle, I saw Charles drink human blood from the human until there was nothing left.” I wince as the memory comes to mind. “I didn’t want to judge him, but I couldn’t stop judging. How am I supposed to spend such a long time with someone when we don’t share

  • Old Souls: Vampire Princess Vs The Last Lycan   The King And Queen's Anger

    EstherI watch as the car drives off, a strange feeling of emptiness creeping up on me. I sink into the rock on the Carnegie beach, the breeze fanning my face. I tilt my head up to stare at the large, cold and lonely castle I call home perched on top of the mountain. ‘Jane, please come to the beach, and bring me something to wear,’ I send Jane a telepathy. ‘I’m on it,’ she responds and within two minutes, she appears in front of me holding a coat. “Esther, what happened?” Jane, my sister, asks, looking concerned. “Your request to bring something to wear surprised me. Are you cold?” She asks sarcastically. “I'm very cold,” I fake a shiver, prompting both of us to both laugh. "Thank you for bringing it anyway," I put on the coat."Whose T-shirt is that? Where were you? Charles was worried sick about you.” “That asshole! You know he was faking it. I decided to go for a drive and I found myself at a werewolf territory.” I tell her everything from the moment Charles gave me my 'meal
