Vampire's Bride

Princess Elena

In 2024 World war three broke out between America and North Korea. The entire world had to suffer through their wrath, it was the apocalypse. After WW3 2/3 of the human population was wiped out and the four most powerful leaders were given Kingdoms to rule for the greater good. My father is one of those four leaders. I'm Princess Elena Willow Adolpha-Delvaux and the 'to be' Queen of Persiania. Sadly, I have to wait till I'm 20 years old before I am sworn in as Queen of Persiania. There is so much more to this story though...

Me and my siblings are Prince, Princesses, and state governors of Persiania. My family and I are a very 'unusual' family though. I'm my parents first born, Camille is the second born, and Jackson is the third born. Our parents are discriminated against for specific speciest reasons. Our father is a Warlock, King Miguel Dan'Roven Delvaux of Persiania. Our mother is a Werewolf, Princess Moinette Willow Adolpha-Delvaux of the royal pack 'dark moons' of Kingstone.

Unlike my two siblings, my mother created an act of kindness and Goddess Belisama blessed her first born, me. So, I am the hybrid Witch and Werewolf. Camille is a Witch and Jackson is a Werewolf.

With Witches, Werewolves, and Vampires aging usually stops at around 18-30 years old. They can also turn anyone they'd like to.

After WW3 the humans didn't bother fighting us superior species because they knew they would lose. They came to believe that we could rule better than they could. Right now my father is King of Persiania, Land of Witches. My cousin Jacob, is Chief of Kingstone, Home of Werewolves. Arthur is King of Rolumpus, Kingdom of Vampires. Lastly, Mikeal is King of Jenoviah, Sanctuary of Vampires.

The Vampires have two Kingdoms, the Witches and Werewolves have one. I take the Persianian throne on May 5, 2026. Which is a year from now. Till then I'm training for the throne. My father wants me to 'consider' marriage. He says it'll be easier for me to rule if I had somebody by my side. But I'm really just not built for marriage at all. He insists, while I refuse. But nobody can tell him that, he's out trying to find me a suitable bachelor.

My battles are just beginning and I've just been going over the basics...

"Sister, are you ok?" Jackson came over to me worried.

I snapped out of my blurred daze and pulled back the string on my bow and arrow. It takes off towards the target and makes a deadly bulls-eye.

"I'm fine, Jackson."

He smiles "Sister, I can't wait till your Queen" he hugged me "Are you excited for your coronation?"

I rolled my eyes "Sure" I tried to sound poppy but it was useless "Father wants me to marry by the time my coronation comes in May but I don't want to get married."

"Then why did you agree?"

"To shut him up!" I roll my eyes smiling.

Jackson chuckled "Well father told me to escort you back to the palace so you can prepare for tonight's dinner."

"Why!?" I ask frantically.

"Chief Jacob is on his way over, hopefully-" he crosses his fingers " to help father out of this fairytale he has envisioned in his head and to make it clear you don't want to marry...practically anyone."

"Again?"

" Yes, sister."

"I love our big cousin but I don't need him arguing with our father about how a marriage isn't in my interest."

He rolled his eyes with a big smile "C'mon, Elena."

My maid Margret helped me find a dress for tonight's dinner. A long red dress that matched with red heels.

The royals have their own gems that are placed in rings and crowns. Persiania wears obsidian, Rolumpus wears white agate, Jenoviah wears rubies, and Kingstone wears emeralds. So to symbolize my heritage I wear obsidian and emeralds. My crown has always been a flower base with those gems.

One of the body guards introduced me "Rulers of Persiania and Kingstone" I walked gracefully to the staircase as he finished his sentence "I present to you her highness, Princess Elena Adolpha-Delvaux of Persiania."

I got to the bottom of the stairs and Jacob waltzed to me "Hello, Elena..." he held my hand in his and brushed his lips against my knuckles "It's nice to see you again."

I raised my head high "Same to you, Jacob."

He smiled and whispered in my ear "I'll help you get out of this marriage."

"Why?" I whispered back.

"Because it's just not right and I don't believe in doing the wrong thing for the wrong reasons."

I rolled my eyes as we walked to a 15 foot long table. Then their debate on my love life begins.

"King Miguel with all due respect, Elena isn't ready for marriage."

"And how would you know?"

"Marriage brings children, have you seen her with children? And her ego is too high to lose an argument, imagine how her husband would feel fighting her?"

"She has a child."

"Yeah and that child went to hell and back."

"She'll be fine" dad's brown eyes narrowed as he rubbed his curly brown hair.

Jacob looks at me with worried brown eyes complimented by straight black hair.

I sigh "I don't want to get married."

"Why not?"

"My job is on the battlefield, I'd do anything for Persiania but marriage just isn't something."

"Then what do you suggest, Elena?" he said patiently but I knew I couldn't change his mind.

One of our guards came running into the dinning room "Persiania is under attack!"

I stood up and said "What should we do?"

My father nervously says "You're the military general, what do we do?!"

Green dust swirled around me "Put all our defenses up. They're coming from the Northeast, so be prepared for anything."

The green dust turned my red dress into a black leather bodysuit with black knee high boots.

I begin to give orders "Our prerogative is to protect the humans, do anything at all cost."

Jacob grabbed my hand "Hey, we're allies and family, I'm helping."

I smile "Let's go meet the competition, shall we?"

Well we did meet our opponent very quickly. It was quite the surprise, the one and only...

King Arthur Nikolaus of Rolumpus.
