So past and new readers, I have decided to lengthen this story along side of the sequel (crazy, yes i know don't worry, there is a constantly alarming at the back of my mind thinking I'm an idiot to continue them at the same time but *sighs*). I felt I left some (A LOT) of information out of this first story as I was rushing to start the next. So, hopefully either every fortnight or every month I'll update this and extend each chapter, it might turn out that I'll be adding a new chapter if theres too much going into one chapter and it was just too much. So we'll see how this goes. I will date the chapter at the beginning to show you if it has been edited or extended at the top :) Happy reading.
Rewritten: 06/02/13 :)
Chapter One.
Fairy tales. Oh how they make girls believe that their Prince Charming will come along and sweep them off their feet and they would live happily ever after. How the Prince will be admirable, protective and most of all loving towards his Princess, his one true love. As we all figure at one point or another that they don't exist in your world or mine. Well...maybe there is one in a million so good luck with that if you want to find yours.
It's hard to find someone we truly love and who understands your every move on the chessboard. For my kind its extremely rare for us to find our soul-mates within the first few hundred years of our lives. It's worse for the royal family as we would never be able to file for a divorce or we would be disowned as a royal member completely, so the only reasonable solution is to take on lovers. However I have heard that some royals did give up their position in court to spend it with their soul-mates.
I thought I would have the chance to wait for my Prince Charming to sweep me off my feet and we would be together forever. But that dream ended the second my parents told me that I had an arrange marriage. Out of the five vampire Princes, it just had to be that arrogant flirtatious jerk.
So this is how my rocky road to the crown begins...

"Marry?!" my voice echoed in father's meeting room and by the looks given by my parents they aren't particularly happy with my little outburst. But! to be very fair, this is a discussion about me not having a say in this 'arranged marriage' proposal. I raged on, "I'm only 16! And we're living in the 21st Century. Who would be crazy enough to still get married at sixteen? And don't you dare say the ones that are with child because I'm pretty sure that does not apply to me."
"Yes, we know that dear," mother replied in a soothing voice sitting at the far end of the table with father as he shook his head at me in dismay. Probably thanking Mya silently, as well, for keeping those hormone crazed young knights-in-training away from me when I turned fourteen, which is when my womanly curves started to fill itself out nicely. I continued to pace back and forth, waiting for the moment that they would agree with me that this was a stupid idea.
"However, you're going to be 17 in 3 months time," father explained.
"I know father, but it's still too soon to get...'married'," I shuddered as I said the word.
"No it isn't! Your mother and I got married at 17! And at 18, we ruled Novasna side by side. And that's what you will do with your husband," father told me joyfully. How can he be so happy about this? Surely I would have thought being the only child, they would hate seeing me married off so early and that I would leave my parents and start living with my 'husband' unless...Oh no. Being married is already bad enough and yet they still think I would live with them after they put me through it? Hell no! It's either one or the other! Either I get married and move away or I don't marry till I feel ready and have found my soul-mate and I'll live with them. To be very honest, I do prefer the latter option.

VampireI couldn't help it. At times I did regret falling for him even when my heart clearly prefers him than the Prince who I was going to marry. He was there when I needed comforting, he was there when I was lonely, he was there when I needed to tell him...
