Epilogue

Back home I told a maid I would like to address the people, that she should have the word spread, with nod she went to do my bidding, two hours later the people were gathered in the courtyard, during this time, Vlad had come to join me too, we stood on the balcony together,

"MY PEOPLE, IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE TO YOU PRINCE VLAD OF VAMPOR, HE IS A PRINCE, AND WE ARE IN LOVE" I announced, people started to whisper amongst them selves but I carried on "I HAVE ALWAYS FELT THAT YOU ARE MY FAMILY, THEREFORE I ANNOUNCE THIS TO YOU DIRECTLY, BECAUSE I FFEEL YOU SHOULD ALL KNOW, I HOPE YOU WILL TREAT HIM WITH THE SAME RESPECT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME." I ended my speech and everyone began to cheer,

"Nicely done" Vlad whispered in my ear I smiled as a thankyou.

soon the courtyard emptied and Vlad and I went inside, I showed him my room and we sat on my bed talking

"So, father told me that you and your mate would drink blood from each other, I know you drank from me, but do I have to drink from you?" I was hoping he'd say no, but I was worried that he might say yes

"You're not a Vampeen, so I don't know how it works" he held my hand and kissed it "you never have to do anything you don't want to do, my love" ahhh swoon, I thought, he chuckled probably reading my mind.

There was a knock on the door, when I told them to enter I found it was Tony, he congratulated the both of us, he was upset that he wasn't first to find out but he was okay.

We, as a couple, were doing well, Nicole tried to get in the middle of us a few times and in the end Vlad told her off, screamed in her face, with a huff she walked away, she hadn't bothered us again.

****************Two years later***************

If you have been reading closely you know that I am now nearly eighteen, it is my birthday week and Vlad is very excited, I explained to him that what happened on his birthday can't happen on mine, nothing amazing will happen, he assured me he knew that, yet he's still excited, I had to learn to ignore it.

My birthday finally came and Maria came into my room in the morning, once she knew I was awake, she looked like she would cry, but for the life of me I couldn't understand why, I did my morning routine and Maria had my clothes laid out for me, it was an Ivory dress that was laced all the way down, I was a little confused as I always wore ball gowns but thinking it might be a birthday gift I put it on, it fit perfectly.

As I left my room there were maids outside in a line throwing white petals at my feet as I walked, again I laughed it off thinking it might be a birthday ritual, the maids were standing in a line that led to the ballroom so that is where I went, Vlad was standing at the far end a man standing with him, as I walked towards him someone handed me a bouquet of white flowers. I went to stand next to Vlad, I tried to read his mind but I couldn't enter, he was hiding it

"Dear beloved, we are here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony" I gasped, Vlad smiled, I was nearly in tears "the groom has his vows ready" the priest announced, what? I haven't written any

'Don't worry your uncle Luke, and your father wrote them for you, Tony helped' Vlad spoke in my mind I looked around to see that uncle Luke and my dad were both here

"Caitlin when I first met you, I really liked you, and when I found out you were my mate, I couldn't have been happier, you make me happy, when you're not there it makes me sad, I promise to love you, cherish you, and hold you close, I promise to stick by you in sickness, and in health. I shall never abandon you. with this ring I wed thee" the ring was a silver band with a red square ruby, my dad came forward and handed me a piece of paper and a ring and hugged me, before stepping back I read the paper quickly. with a nod I handed it back to my dad.

"Vlad you make me happy too, through the good times and the bad times you have always been here, I promise to love you, cherish you and support you, through everything, with this ring I wed thee" Vlads ring was a plain silver band, the priest announced we could kiss and we did, he then bit me on my neck and it took everything to stop myself form moaning.

We were sat in my room that night, our first night together, I was nervous.

"How do you feel, my love?" he asked me as he kissed my hand,

"Amazing" was my reply, he chuckled, knowing the truth.

Things carried on the way they had Vlad would make time to spend with me on Enidan and also with his dad on Vampore, I spent time there too, allnthe time, lifevwas good and I couldn't be happier, my people grew to love Vlad and his people grew to love me.
