The Unknown Lycan Princess - Chapter 38: Chapter 38

Ok. I can do that… Beth.” Anna said with a smile as she wiped her tears off of her face. “Welcome back home Alexi. Welcome to the vampire kingdom Ethan.” She said with a smile, then looked towards Sandra and her smile turned to scowl. “What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be bending over backwards for your mistress.” She said mistress like it was a foul word.
Beth sat back and watched the exchange. She already knew from when she was looking through Anna’s memories of her parents that she believes the King’s mother who she called mistress is responsible for her parent’s death. Though Sandra doesn’t even like the woman she serves she can’t say anything or she could be seriously injured by the punishments the mistress would serve her if she did. From everything that Beth has seen from both womens minds she knew she needed to step in before things got out of hand. Anna needs to realize that Sandra is not responsible for the actions of her mistress.
“Anna, that is enough. Sandra cannot control what her mistress does or does not do. I promise you I will take up your concerns to the King about his mother. Just as you are a servant, so is Sandra. She is on your side more than you will ever know. Sandra, after I feed I would like for you to take us to see Alexander please.” Beth said as she took control of the room that was building in tension.
“As you wish young one.” Sandra said as she bowed her head. Her thoughts were running wild and I couldn’t pinpoint any one direct thought. I think she cast a spell on herself while I wasn’t looking to keep me from getting into her mind. She gave me a small wink and I just laughed at her silent confirmation.
“Oh. I forgot. That is why I was sent here. His majesty wanted to make sure that his guests were taken care of. I came to see if anyone was hungry.I didn’t know you had awoken from your change as of yet. Is it true that you had been in the transition sleep for over 9 days! That is the longest in the written records. You must be a very strong vampire for it to take so long.” Anna gushed.
“Yes. She was in transition for 9 days. What else could we expect from the granddaughter of the King.” Alexi said with pride in his voice.
The gasp from Anna and then her curtsy made me roll my eyes some. “No Anna. Stop that. I am just a normal person just like you. No need to stand on these silly formalities. Besides you are my friend right? So you can treat me as any normal friend would.”
“But…but…you aren’t normal. You are a royal. I should show my respect to you.” Anna said with a pout.
“Fine. You can when around others but in private I am just Beth. Ok?” I relented because I knew it was a losing battle if I kept on fighting it. Anna nodded her head and said she would be back with food for everyone.
When Anna returned with a tray full of food for Ethan and Sandra, the tray also had two tumblers that I assumed from the smell of copper were full of blood for myself and Alexi. We all thanked her and dug into our meals. I sniffed at my cup for a minute before I took a tentative sip and let out a moan at the sweet taste on my tongue. Then I gulped it all down. I was still dying of thirst and before I knew it Alexi handed me the other cup. I looked up at him and he nodded his head with a smile. I took it gratefully and swallowed it all down too. My thirst was still there, but not as prevalent as before.
“You can drink from me now darling to get the rest of your fill. We just needed to get you to get the uncontrollable part of your thirst under control first. Then after you have quenched your first thirst fully it will be safe for you to feed from Ethan in the future. As mates we gain more strength from feeding from one another.” Alexi said as he unbuttoned his dress shirt and took his left arm out of his sleeve to give me all access to the left side of his neck.
I walked over to him and straddled his lap as I sniffed at his neck and placed a kiss on his mark, causing him to let out a moan, before I sank my fangs into his neck at his pulse point and started to suck. I was at his throat for roughly 30 seconds before I pulled away licking the puncture marks to stop the bleeding and help heal the wounds. I licked my lips to get any remaining blood from my lips. I looked into Alexi’s eyes that sparkled with lust and then crushed my mouth to his. I could feel my lust building while feeding off of Alexi’s lust through the bond. Even Ethan’s arousal was starting to affect me. Apparently, he was feeding off of our feelings through the bond. I never knew that a vampire feeding was such an intimate and arousing act until experiencing it for myself.
“Right,” Sandra said, clearing her throat while Alexi and I looked down sheepishly, “Now that we are all fed we should go. While everyone is busy doing their duties. Please follow me.”
We all followed Sandra except for Anna because she had other tasks to complete for the day. She took us to her private chambers and shut the door as soon as we were all inside. She said a few words and the door glowed faintly. She placed a locking charm on it so that no one could enter. She turned to Alexi and said, “You cannot tell anyone what you are about to hear. We need to find proof first and we think we are close to an answer. Alexander, King Roman’s father, is not mad. He has been pretending for a very long time. He knows that Esmerelda didn’t leave on her own. We think Natasha had a hand in it. As you know, the mother of the king is not someone we can just accuse lightly without substantial proof.” “Well let’s get this started. I have a race to free from eternal sleep.” I said then I waved my hand at the wall and an outline of a door appeared then glowed. When the glow faded the door swung open. I walked through and listened and heard only one heartbeat in the room. I opened the door and walked through along with everyone else. There standing at the window with his arms behind his back with his hands clasped together was Alexander Petrova, Romans father and my grandfather.
As he turned around I gasped at how much he looked like Elijah Michaelson off of the tv show The Originals. It was quite interesting how my favorite vampires from the shows I enjoyed watching turned out to look like people from my real life and apparently family. He gave a small smile to me and I just ran to him and wrapped my arms around him as he did the same to me. I could feel tears falling down my face, and I felt some falling on top of my head as well.
“Welcome home my granddaughter. We have a lot to discuss. Please sit down.”
