Vampire's Bride

Peace

The luck I've gained recently is pretty great, Arthur has been taking me to the HQ to train with the big dogs. I would beat the crap out of 100s of his guys at a time. Most were scared because I'm the big bad hybrid. I even disguised myself and fought Arthur, he would've never fought me if he knew it was me. His 1500s tell him not to hit women, we went head to toe for a while. But today I decided to stay at the palace and spend time by myself, practicing a very famous Witch tradition called self-love.

I put some candles and crystals on the outside of the tub and put bubbles, oils, and flower petals inside the tub. I eventually got inside the tub to just soak myself.

Now I have a chance to talk and speak with myself in peace. I can't believe Jacob actually had a relationship with a Vampire, especially with knowing how Werewolf laws work. He'd risk everything he has if the wolf courts found out an inkling about his ex-Vampire. Kingstonian laws say that a royal can be kicked out of the royal family and the country if they have intimate relations with a Vampire. With the lower power packs, the law says that they may be sentenced to death or kicked out of the country depending on the status of their lower-class pack. But the boy, Ezekiel, was born a Werewolf as Diane said. So none of the Werewolves will suspect the mother to be a different species. It takes a shaman to determine which pack an orphan is from. Lower-class packs don't have access to shamans. So nobody will know the boy is a dark moon wolf. 

Diane has always been a sweetheart, she's only older than me by a year or two.

Arthur and I have had a steady balance of us, work, and our time apart. I wish I could be around him more often than what I am now. Maria has been settling nicely with both of her parents, at the same place at the same time, very well. If only I could actually pull some sense together about the whole baby thing. I can't find a logical reason for Maria saying that. If anything works out Jacob marries someone else and the Witch courts vote against fathers vote and I become Queen without marrying. Which means I can change Persianian laws and I can be with Arthur. If I can be with Arthur, will he make this serious and propose to me? If we get married...how would he feel about children, with me? He seems like a fatherly guy, for heaven sakes we do have Maria.

The war is tragically on its way shortly before Arthur's 521st birthday. Eventually I'm going to have to wrap myself up in a bundle of anger, preparing myself for war.

But after the war how can I be sure I'll be ok? What will happen to my marriage? Or Arthur? Or Maria? I can only wait and see...
