‘Long Story Short’ is the prequel to ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’. These are the only books in this mini book series. (if you would even call it that) Genevieve James is a seventeen year old girl pretending to be a twenty year old guard for the Royal Family of Aurora. She has been fed up with the traditional mindset of Aurora for awhile now. With this new mindset she decided to tryout to be a bodyguard for the Royal Family, undercover of course. She ended up being so good at the tryouts that she was promoted to be Princess Elaine's personal bodyguard in less than a month, thus beginning her rigorous training and secret keeping abilities. Princess Elaine Beckham is Aurora's upcoming Queen with her coronation being in a mere two weeks. With her mother constantly on her tail about ruthlessly rejecting Princes left and right she decides to take things into her own hands, approving of an arranged marriage between her daughter and a well known Prince. Prince Bane is what you would call 'a wolf in sheep's clothing'. He craves power, yet due to his family's tree he will never be allowed to take the throne. This persuade Bane into agreeing on Queen Beckham's arranged marriage. When Elaine finds out that the two of them plotted this behind her back she is very happy to say the least. Does Elaine go along with the arranged marriage out of fear of disappointing those around her or does she throw the traditional rules out the window and marry her childhood crush?

Long Story Short

I groan out loud and stomp my foot on the mat, becoming indescribably mad.

/"You are not even listening to me!/" I exclaim

I notice her roll her eyes from my spot a few feet away from her.

She is not taking my ideas and decisions seriously!

The worst part about this is that she is refusing to tell me why.

/"Mom, Why did you not ask me about my opinion before approving everything for my coronation?/" I ask her for the fifth time

The woman continues to ignore me, tossing the bright green ball in the air and whacking it across the court.

I use my racket to whack the ball completely off the court, too angered to even pretend to be interested in tennis.

/"Answer my question or I will tell dad about Octavius/" I threaten, crossing my arms against my chest

Octavius is my father's twin brother.
