The Vampire Princess and the Werewolf Prince (#1 of the Royalty Bites series)

Chapter 25

I'm shaken awake by Jack as the car had stopped and I had fallen asleep. I look around groggily then smile as I realize that I slept the whole way to the private jet. I get out of the car happily and grab the suitcase that the maids had gotten ready for me during the wedding. Jack follows me and lets me lead him onto the jet, I go into the bathroom which is bigger than a normal airplane bathroom. I put the suitcase on the counter and open it and I go through it, I grab out a white tank top and a pair of red skinny jeans. I struggle my way out of the dress and put on the outfit pairing it with my favourite black sweater and finally slip on a pair of footwear, which just so happen to be a pair of elven made hunting boots. I walk out of the bathroom with the dress draped over one arm and the suitcase in my other hand.

"Autumn you own shoes??" Jack gasps making me laugh.

"Yes well I couldn't say no to the whole elves giving me a gift thing. Plus these are amazingly light and sturdy I actually love them." I sit down in one of the chairs and smile as Jack enters the bathroom himself. 

I get served some sushi as I wait for him to come back out, Jack walks out in jeans and a t-shirt and sits beside me. I lean and kiss him then feed him a piece of sushi making him smile then chew it. 

"So we are heading to our homeland, how do you feel?" 

I laugh then shake my head, "You should be asking how I like being Mrs. Jack Newhouse not how I feel about going to our homeland." 

"True then how do you feel being my wife?" he laughs then watches me.

"How do I feel...hmmm well it is amazing to finally think that we are married. Also as for how I feel finally going to our homeland, it feels really good to be going there." I lean my head onto his shoulder making him smile and place an arm around my shoulders.

"I'm glad. I love you so much and I am so happy that you are my wife." He kisses the top of my head.

I smile and watch the movie they play until they bring us some more food. I cheer slightly when it's a deluxe pizza, Jack and I dig in and eat happily watching the movie still. I relax once we are done and I look out the window watching the skies and then I move and look down at the ground watching the patchwork of colours pass below us. 

"Autumn why did you pick Transylvania?"

"I thought I went over that in the meeting?"

"I don't think you actually did Autumn."

"Oh well I thought it would be good for us to go there and have our honeymoon where our races started. Plus I have a castle there...Well more like two. One that everyone knows and is a tourist trap and the other one is a place where no mortal dares to walk. Except for your dad...He went there unafraid with Anna." I stop talking and look down as I remember that Anna died there.

"It's alright Autumn I know that my dad really loved her and that he killed her but he couldn't help it and it helped werewolves through the ages because now we are trained to become friends with our wolves, to work with them and not fight against them but we also learn how to control them when needed." Jack smiles softly.

I nod but stay silent for a while, I lean my head back onto his shoulder and close my eyes not falling asleep just sitting there with my eyes closed. He leans his head onto mine and then moves and pulls me into his lap snuggling me close making me smile and curl up in his lap.

"Jack are you excited to go there?" I watch him as I open my eyes.

"Yeah I kinda am but I'm also nervous. I mean it's where my dad killed your uncle and remembered his wolf side. It has a lot of historical meaning behind it for both of our races." he shrugs as he smiles at me.

"Yeah I know what you mean. Uncle Dracula was a mean guy to humans but he was always nice enough to my family back when he was alive." I shrug.

"And now you're the daughter-in-law of his worst enemy." Jack laughs at the irony.

I laugh too then kiss Jack, "He'd hate our union you know."

"Mmm I know but that's too bad for him because I love you." Jack smiles after kissing me back.

"I love you too Jackie." I smile.

That's when it started to go wrong, I felt the first bump and then a few more started. I look up when the pilot speaks over the intercom.

"We are experiencing some turbulence, I do suggest you put your seatbelts on though."

I watch as the seatbelt light goes on, I get up and then sit in my own chair and strap myself in while Jack does the same in his seat. I grip his hand my eyes closing as I shake slightly as the turbulence gets worse. Jack rubs his thumb around the back of my hand.

"Jack if we die I want you to know that I love you and it made me the happiest woman in the world when I heard you say I do."

"Autumn we aren't going to die I promise you that." Jack says trying to calm me down but as he says that the lights on the plane flicker making me jump.

The pilot comes out of the cockpit looking worried, "My queen we are going down...something hit the plane wing and we can't do anything to stop it. I am so sorry." 

I look at the pilot but don't truly see him instead it's like I look through him as the plane suddenly goes into a nose dive towards the earth. I look at Jack and cling to him tears falling down my face as we head towards our sure death.
