Long life to the future Queen!

I closed my eyes, and held my mom's necklace between my hands then I whispered 'Please mom, I really need you to help me. Can you?'

As I opened my eyes, I found myself in the room where my mom and Logan's father were discussing in my dream

It was the same memory but only advanced from where the first one stopped. As she was hiding herself while sneaking on both of her mate and Logan's father, I finally was able to see the king's real mate's full appearance. Her baby was in between her hands.

…..

Logan's father told the woman that the king wants her to live in the palace but not for the actual moment. She needs to move to live with another man that will pretend to be her mate until the situation in the palace gets better. The woman did not utter any words, she was just nodding with her head. This was all I could see from my mom's memory.

Something about her remind of my old self, and that's why I feel hurt whenever I look at her face. But that's not all, I feel like I've seen her somewhere. Where exactly?! I don't remember. I closed my eyes while trying to get some rest.

The rest of the flight went smoothly, I didn't see or talk with Elijah for the rest of the flight. It seemed that he was ignoring me, and I'm sort of fine with that.

When we arrived back at the palace, we were all informed that there will be a party in our honor. I wasn't really in the mood, especially when I am not convinced that I did the right thing. But I wouldn't be rude toward my father by not being present at the party,

I was wondering which of the dresses I bought along with Elijah I should wear for tonight, but I couldn't tell. Not until I found a new one on the top of my bed. It carried Elijah's scent.

It was a short black dress with long sleeves. The dress had a sheer bodice, a shirted high neckline, full-length sleeves, and a stretchy shirted panel on the skirt. The exact type of dresses that will suit me...

Next to the dress, there were two other boxes. The first one has a black high heel that seemed to be made specially to fit with the dress. The second one was full of jewels - what brought my attention was a pair of diamond earrings, I'm so in love with those earrings.

I took one cold long shower, then got myself ready. To finish the look, I relied on the smoky makeup and kept my hair down.

When it was finally night, I went down to the hall where everyone was celebrating. Drinks were mixed with blood, along with all sorts of fancy food. Classical music was played, and everyone seemed to have company, but me.

I roamed with my eyes searching for Elijah until I found him, he was watching me from afar. But when my eyes met his, he turned his face away, by his side was Lorena whispering something in his ears.

As I was watching, a hand lay on my shoulder, I turned to see my father by my side "Father…'' I called at him, and he smiled "You look wonderful sweetheart'', his compliment brought joy inside of me. I only smiled at him since I felt a bit shy, and all the words ran out so that I couldn't say a thing.

He then suggest me to follow him, and I did as I was told until I found myself standing by his side in the Speech Giving Zone.

I was standing by one of his sides, while on the other one was Elijah. Again, our eyes met each other. I smiled at him while expecting him to smile back at me – like he always does, but he just ignored me again.

I felt I bet hurt by his new attitude, but I can't do anything about it at the exact moment. I turned my face to face the crowd in front of us, and with an extra confidence, I smiled at them all.

Meanwhile, my dad started his speech "Tonight! We are celebrating to honor our heroes … The heroes that fight for us, the same ones that are ready to sacrifice their lives for us. To honor the ones who died while trying to create a better world for vampires.'' At that exact moment, a girl brought three glasses of blood.

My father took the first one, while I and Elijah did the same after him, and so did the rest of the vampires. He then raised his drink and drank it, we've all done the same after him.

'' This was our first real battle, and we won it, but it's not the whole war. Be sure that Lycans we'll try to get revenge, but we'll be ready to face them. Do you know why?''

He asked then answered by himself '' because we do have something that they don't have … We have the mighty Hybrid with us, the one that will bring victory to our door.''

Shouts and cheers echoed through the hall, "Shout up the hybrid, my only child, and your future Queen – Princess Elisabeth.''

'' Long life to Princess Elisabeth! Long-life to our future Queen …" Shouts one of the vampires, and the others started shouting after him.

My father looked at me, then whispered into my ears "I'm proud of you my child, and so your mother would be if she was with us."

These may seem to be just a few words to some people, but for me, they seemed to be the world to me. For the first time, I felt strong, powerful, and as my father likes to call me mighty – For the first time I felt that I am the Hybrid.

The rest of the party was fine, the only thing missing was that Elijah was nowhere to be seen, he left right after my father finished his speech.

Meanwhile, my father spent all the night while introducing me to all the important and well-known vampires, he was proud to call me his daughter.
