OMG!!! My Father is Making Me Marry a Vampire Prince, and I'm a Werewolf Princess
Chapter 8
"Oh!" I yelped as Mary tightened the bodice of my dress. I shouldn't complain though, I begged my father not to make me wear a gown. So he chose a selection of dresses that were "acceptable" for my upcoming ball (tomorrow). The dress I was trying on was a gorgeous midnight blue dress that went below my knee, and had a beautiful light blue slash with diamonds on the edge.
"Oh my, you look so lovely." Mary said turning me towards the mirror. I gasped. I look... beautiful, and I don't say that often. I only tied my hair into a ponytail; I was supposed to visit the salon that afternoon.
"Thank you Mary, this looks so...amazing. I'm truly grateful!" I squealed. I couldn't stop from smiling. Mary handed me my other clothes and I went into the changing, and changed back to my original clothes. Damn! I think I grew, my jeans were now up to my ankles. I bought it just last week!
I walked out of the tailor room and left Mary to her work. I was walking down the 5th floor stairs until someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. Surprise, surprise, Zach grinned when I abruptly pulled back my hand.
"So, have you considered my offer?" He raised his eyebrow and stared at me. Why did he always find me when I'm on the freaking stairs?
"Yeah...for like 3 seconds. Sorry, but I'm taken, better luck with someone else." I said, faking an innocent smile and turning away, only to be pulled back again.
"Seriously, you have to STOP touching ME." His grin just got bigger, but he ignored what I said.
"And who would have the honor of taking you to this ball of yours?" Zach looked at me curiously. I smiled.
"Jake. I asked him actually." He only smiled back.
"Well then...have fun!" Zach turned away and went on with his business. I really need to set boundries with that idiot.

(Night of the Ball)
Jayden's POV
Lily came over to help me with my dress. When my father said he got the best salon in the country, he really meant it. My hair was so beautiful. The front of my hair was curled up, and it was tied to the back of my hair so gracefully.
(I'm soo sorry, I really can't describe her hair >=( )
Lily was wearing a beautiful white dress that had ruffles on the bottom. The dress reached around her knee, and her hair was tied back in a curled ponytail. We both looked awesome. I smiled and grabbed her arm and headed towards the French ballroom doors.
"Oh! Look here they come!" Lily said pointing to Jake, and a brown-haired boy who look around 14, like Lily. They walked towards us and Jake slipped his arm through mine. They were both wearing tuxes. Jake look unsurprisingly handsome. The brown-haired boy did the same to Lily, and she blushed lightly and batted her eyelashes. Awww. Jake smiled at me and kissed the back of my hand.
"Happy Birthday Jayden." He said coolly. I smiled and nodded.
"Oh! Before I forget, Jayden take these gloves. Mary told me to give them to you. Oh by the way, this is Ben." Lily handed me a pair of long white gloves that went up to my elbow. Then she returned back to Ben. I put on the gloves, they were the perfect size. Then we heard a French horn on the other side of the door, along with clatter of noises.
"That's our cue!" Lily said pulling her and Ben to the middle of the door. Me and Jake stepped to the side as the French doors were opened by the royal guards.
"Ladies and Gentleman please welcome... Princess Lillian Knight and Sir Benjamin Ian." The person with the French horn announced. Lily and Ben walked down the grand stairs into the ballroom, but I didn't get to see much since the doors were shut immediately afterwards.
"You ready?" Jake asked and smiled at me. "Yup. Let's go." I smiled back at him and he pulled us both to the center of the doors. He lightly knocked the door, giving the announcer a signal that we were ready. Another French horn was blown.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, give your warmest welcome to Princess Jayden Emerson and Prince Jacob Knight." I heard a ongoing series of clapping before the French doors opened. The light coming from the ballroom almost blinded me since I had spent some time in the dark. Jake secured my arm and walked down the grand stairs, with me beside him. The clapping died down, and everyone was looking at us while we walked. I was used to this, so I wasn't nervous or anything.
Once we had reached the end of the stairs, people returned to their business. There were werewolves, vampires here and there, and even humans. Vampires liked to bring their humans who were under they spells.
A slow waltz song began, and everyone cleared the floor. It was a custom for the birthday girl to dance with her father or escort when she first arrives. Jacob took my hand and walked me to the center of the ballroom. It was just him and me. We listened to the beat and waited to begin dancing. When it was our cue, we started to dance in perfect harmony. I followed his footsteps without even looking down. One of his hands was on my waist, and the other holding my right hand. He twirled me around, and brought me to his arms. I could feel all the eyes in the room were on us, but I really didn't care. He smiled at me as he kept spinning us both around the dance floor. The music slowly faded, and it brought me back to reality. I smiled as Jake led us away from the dance floor and brought me to one of the tables to sit down.
Emerging from the crowd of people came Zach along with a gorgeous blonde girl who walked towards us. Zach was wearing a black tuxedo, much like Jake's. The girl wore a beautiful red dress that went a little above her knee. Zach smiled at me, but the girl kept her gaze at Zach. She's human...
"Hey there Jayden, Jake. This is Mel, isn't she something?" Mel blushed, but when she turned my way, she gave me a murderous glare. Jake only smiled and didn't seem to pay any attention. His eyes were only fixed on me.
"Well, me and Mel gotta go. I just came by to say hi, so see you later!" Zach said, holding Mel by the waist and walking away with her.
"Hey...um...Jayden can we go outside for a while? I kinda want to talk." Jake's voice seemed urgent. I wonder what's up.
"Uh... sure?" I didn't know what to say back. He gently pulled me up from my seat, and led us to the garden.
