* Ashley * I am not sure what woke me up but I just suddenly rise from the bed and look around me. At first, the surroundings are silent. But after a few minutes have passed I can smell the scent of something so intoxicating. Musky vanilla with wood sage, it goes deep into my nostrils and inside my lungs through the veins of my body. I feel the need to find out where it is. I have never felt something so potent and wild, it almost made my heart, ache with a certain longing that I can't quite comprehend. My feet touch the floor as my body moves to put a robe on the nightgown that my mother has prepared for me to wear this evening. The fabric hugs my body like a soft touch of a man. What am I thinking?! I slowly turn the knob on my door and get out. I can tell that it is almost dawn and the wolves in the Palace will wake up soon. The smell becomes stronger as I sniff the air to follow where it comes from. 

* Ashley * The warm water falling from the shower feels soothing on my flawless cream color skin. After the hunt, we return to the Palace and he let me go back into my room. I feel much better after having that meal, although it is a puzzle when I look at myself in the mirror and see how flat my stomach is after having a big meal. I've finished my shower and realized how my skin become more healthy and vibrant than the last time I remember. Prince Vincent advised me to get some more rest and he said it was better if I get back to sleep after the shower. My heart races just thinking about him and the hunt we did together. When I remember how his body looked after we shifted back to human form, without anything on but just our skin. His skin and muscles, and his beautiful male body are engraved in my mind. He told me to call him on the mind link whenever I need something urgent however, everything seems to be fine for now.

* Ashley  * "Hello! Miss Snipes, what can I get you for breakfast?" I look at her wondering why she is still around, I just came out of the bathroom and finished taking a shower. She came in last night together with the pack doctor after Prince Vincent left. I have noticed her preparing everything I need. I tried to remember her name, but it took a few seconds before I remember her saying that it was Riza Williams. This is the second time she is taking care of me. "Hello, Riza! I don't think I need breakfast right now. Thank you but I feel full." I turned away from her and look for something to wear."How about coffee or tea Miss Snipes?" "Tea will be better." I feel refreshed this morning, with no sign of fever or any pain from the incident last night. The memory of Prince Vincent laying down with me in

* Prince Vincent * One bottle of whiskey and another in half, before the sun goes down if I am human I would have gone beaten up. However, my mind is still clear. There is one person that I needed to talk to, perhaps I need the alcohol to keep me strong enough and handle the situation like a man. For male wolves like us, alcohol does not make us too drunk for action. It only numbs the feeling that I have suffered long enough. "Father, I need to have a word with you if you have time." I said to him in the mind link. However, I didn't get an answer that quick. So I lean my back against the chair and waited prepared to call him again in case he didn't answer. "Join us for dinner Vincent, your mother and I will wait for you on the balcony of my room." His words are sure and I can feel him being glad for whatever reason. My father must be happy that Carmela is with him every day. It m

* Prince Vincent *It's been forty-eight hours since the last time I saw her because I got occupied with the wedding preparations that we have to finish as much as possible. But today it has finally arrived, I almost thought that it would be difficult to convince her but Carmela did the job very well. I don't know how she helped her go through with the quick wedding arrangements but somehow I am truly grateful that finally, our wedding vows will be realized."I assume you are excited."The voice coming from behind me made me turn my head towards its owner. Then I meet eye to eye with my father who stands just a few feet away from me, standing with Carmela beside him. His tailored navy suit compliments the pale blue silk gown that she is wearing, her eyes meet mine and she gives me a warm smile."I didn't think that it would be this exhilarating."My upper lip twisted in irony then I scan my eyes around the huge palace hall and look at the wolves witnessing our ceremony.
