"You are not human, like us, are you?" The words left my mouth in whispers as my eyes glanced around eyeing the destruction caused by the two men. 

Two men who had effectively taken out Twenty guards. All heavily armed and trained. 

But now, not even one old get up. 

"What gave that away?" My companion, who I had feelings for, mocked. 

"Perhaps the strength we displayed caused her to see reality," in the blink of an eye, he was in front of me making me stumble back in fear. "Is that not true, Princess?" 

I looked to the man who was silent and ever watchful. "Why? Why were you not true?" I loved him, only him I let myself feel for. 

He glanced around and spotted Diwal, my trusted advisor. "No one is true in nature here," he pointed to my advisor, "Not even him." 

Unwanted tears came to my eyes as I glanced around me. I could die tonight and it would all be in their hands. 

"Don't worry, your highness, it's just the time for it to come to light." 

My advisor smiled and so did the other two men.

A gentle yet cold bastard prince. 

The bulky, muscular King to be. 

And a Princess.

The Princess's Dangerous Vampire Mate

"Your skin has become dry," Dorothy said of her observation as she touched my arm. "I do not understand why. Winter is still two months away at least.'

Of course, she did not understand it. Dorothy had been on my staff for a long time and she knew everything about me which also included my skin.

"Leave it," I took my heart away from her.

She sighed. "I will have the healer make a cream paste for you." She smiled. "I remember what ingredients were asked by the previous one to make your skin soft. I will convey them to this healer as well."

"Do whatever you want," I muttered under my breath before I realized something.

I had almost forgotten about it.

"Dorothy," I thought of my words very carefully, "I want you to find a young lady. She served us, Tristan and me, tea today morning."

"Huh," she soothed the flyways of my hair. "I can ask around for her."
