Wedding invitation

Several guards came rushing to the garden one of them came forward and bowed his head .A chilling wind swept through the area like an arctic storm.

Alex's tone became authoritative and decisive, shouting out orders that no one would dare not to follow."Rich have the garden searched for any fragments, If you find a registration number, have it ran through the system and bring the owner to me. Check the accipiter radar system. Try to find out how the hell that drone got through. Any thing you find take it to the lab and have it tested, fax all the test results to my office."

When the guard left to carry out the orders, Alex turned his attention back to Lexi. Suddenly as if someone had thrown a main power breaker on a ball field ,his demeanor changed and the atmosphere became warm and inviting .

He put his arm around her shoulders in a protective manner walking back to the pool area, his voice had also changed from the previous cold demanding tone to a gently

charismatic and loving one"sweetheart come with me , Pam text me and said the wedding invitations are done waiting our approval."

"Alex wait I need to put my beach cover up on ." She nervously said, still a bit shaken from what just happened. She looking around for her beach cover spotting it in the corner with her vintage necklace laying beside her beach bag. With all the excitement she had forgotten about taking it off before swimming laps in the pool.

Remembering what her mother said about the necklace keeping her safe, she immediately put it back around her neck placing her hand over top of the dark red ruby she closed her eyes saying a little prayer in her head.

After praying her thoughts started getting clearer she glanced around the area when a different thought swirled around in her head. Maybe that drone wasn't just paparazzi trying to get a picture of her in a bikini .

She slipped her cover up on deciding to ask Alex ,"Do you think that drone was someone trying to hurt me? Or just paparazzi ?"

Wrapping his arms around he, he pulled her closer cupping her bottom with both of his hands giving her butt cheeks a slight squeeze. "Sweetheart, I don't know if it was paparazzi or not. I know some of them had to find new jobs. The demand for pictures of you has decreased, "He teased

She blinked a few times not that she really cared but she was a little surprised .

" Is it because we are a mixed species couple?"

Alex chuckled "No sweetheart it's because I was their biggest customer."

Rolling her eyes she pushed at his chest , "No Alex I'm serious ."

" Sweetheart I really don't know that's the reason I had Rich send the pieces to the lab. They will run test for explosives and poisonous substances."

Now that the shock of getting pulled up like a rag doll is wearing off, she is finally starting to remember bits and pieces of what happened. Biting on her finger nail , she pulled her brows tightly together as she tried to remember everything," Uh, Alex what ... Uh did . UH,... did you blow that drone up with your hand?" She stammered slightly confused thinking her mind was playing tricks on her.

"Yes I did sweetheart , Remember when I told you some vampires have special abilities and most of their abilities come from their blood line. Sweetheart the Eddington blood line has quite a few of those special Abilities. He paused to look at her face before asking her "Does that frightened you sweetheart?" Your father knows about my abilities. That's the only reason he has allowed me to take you out of Whitley Castle with out your body guards. And that's the same reason I only trust Jackson to help protect you ." He explained as he pulled her into a comforting embrace.

"No , Alex I would never be scared of you, I love you.." she mummers into his muscular chest.

He smiled, "My eyes didn't turn blue this time , and me drinking your blood helped.I could feel someone watching you, It felt like someone was watching me. But what I did with my hand takes a lot of energy and now I'm hunger your blood is really delicious sweetheart."

"Uh Alex , maybe we should go to the bedroom " She smiled sweetly trying her best to charm him. Because she wasn't very hungry she only wanted chips for lunch again .But it was already lunch time and she knew he had already ordered her lunch. She was hoping for some really good junk food .

"What did you tell the chef to make for my lunch today?" She ask curiously

"Sweetheart like you told your mother something nutritious and delicious. So come on let's go to the dining room.We need to go eat so that you can stay healthy." He reasoned as he tugged her in the direction of the dining room.

Alex had already ordered lunch for her and he definitely wasn't going to go back to the bedroom right now. After using his abilities the bloodlust he has a this moment and the delicious taste of her blood could turn deadly with in a matter of minutes. They both needed nutrition right now. He needed a couple of glasses of blood and she needs a nutritious and delicious meal to replace the iron in her body from the blood loss . He had already ordered her a lovely spinach salad, a tender juicy medium rare steak with a baked potato. And to help create new red blood cells a banana split for desert rich in b vitamins.

After they took a seat in the dining room

Mrs Green brought one of the elegant inventions for them to review .

Excitement filled the air as Mrs Green handed the beautiful elegant black and gold inventions to Alex. Lexi peeked over his arm at the beautiful invitation in his hand. To see the Eddington coat of arms embossed on the front. And when he opened the invitation up she stretched her neck to see the Inside of the invention with beautiful script writing and a gold vintage baroque pattern framing it. Holding the invention out in front of him Alex read it out loud for her.

He laid the elegant invention on the table in front of her smiling "Sweetheart are you happy with the invitations?"

Overly excited she gushed "Oh ,Yes !

They're so beautiful."

Amused by how excited his little Pet is, he chuckled then handed the invention back to Mrs Green . Giving her additional information concerning the extra security.

"Pam we are very pleased, make sure to include a barcode card with each invention, each guest will need to present the barcode card to enter the main gate."

Mrs Green takes the invention and hands

Him three pieces of paper ."Your Majesty this is some good menu choices.It's just an idea you and Princess Alexis feel free to mix and match food choices or add your favorites. I just jotted down some ideas for you. I have already made sure to stock the bar with vodka, Gin, rum ,tequila scotch, whiskey , wines, a large selection of beers, a selection of brandy ,vermouth and of course there will be a champagne fountain "

" Thank you Mrs.Green we will look over the menu samples and get back to you." Alex replied

"Your Majesty, Will you be wanting to keep the bar open for the dinner also?"

"Yes , Miss Green half of the guest will be Vampires. It will need to be open for the entire wedding reception "

"His Majesty have you talked to the Royal Jeweler about making your wedding rings?"she ask just as a reminder.

"Yes Mrs. Green I have already done that the same day I decided to give Princess Alexis grandmother's fire and ice ring."

Mrs Green smiled "I'm almost done Your Majesty , I will need for you and Princess Alexis to pick out three songs the first one will be the bride and groom dance. The second one will be the bride and her father's and the third one the groom and his mother's dance."

Upon hearing this he brought his hand up pinching the skin between his brows and a frown formed on his face. He never thought about music he rarely listen to music.

Seeing him looking lost Mrs. Green smiled "If you and Princess Alexis would like to think about this just send me a text. I believe that will be everything I will need from you . If you will excuse me Your Majesty I will go make sure the barcode cards will be done by Monday ,so that the invitations can be sent out."

"You have a good day Mrs. Green."
