I got back to the castle that night. I spent the whole day with Sandrine and her Aunt. It felt like old times.

I continue my journey up to the bedroom when I'm stopped by Nova. I smile at her and she smiles back.

"Harry wants to see you in his office." She says before leaving, not even giving me the chance to respond.

I frown and take off for Harry's office. I open the door and immediately see Harry. He looks up as I close the door, a smile spreads across his face.

"Hi. Nova said that you wanted to see me?" He nods, his smile dropping slightly.

"I wanted to ask you something. Please sit." I nod and take a seat. "What would you say if I said that you are to be crowned Queen next week?" He questions and my eyes involuntarily widen.

"Why? I-I mean, we wasn't going to go fast. We're not even married yet!" I panic. Harry sighs and I nods.

"I know that. If I die in this war, the Kingdom will have no leader." He explains and I frown.

"What about Liam?" Harry shakes his head.

"It's not the same. So? What do you say?" I sigh and ponder the question.

Being crowned Queen of the vampire Kingdom would earn me trust, safety and power. Declining would throw Harry and myself into despair.

"Okay."

I just hope that I'm not making the biggest mistake of my life.

"Dress, hair, make-up, shoes and jewellery." Nova writes down a checklist of everything I am going to need.

According to Harry, there are no destined dresses for the future Queen, only a crown. That meant that I get to choose how I looked.

"I was thinking of a royal blue gown." I say as I flip through catalogues and magazines. Nova nods and quickly writes it down. "Do we have cake?" I ask and Nova frowns.

"Not usually. Maybe we can start a new tradition." She says and I nod. It brings a smile to my face at the idea of me being the one to start a new and different tradition.

"Cake it is then." I say with a smile and Nova nods.

"Harry?" I walk into Harry's office after not finding him anywhere else. He looks up from his desk, a tired expression on his face. "Why are you working yourself into oblivion? You need rest, you need to eat. Here." I place a mug of blood on his desk and he smiles at me.

"Thank you, sweetheart. It's just with this war and the crowning..." I sigh and run my fingers through his hair.

"Well, when I'm crowned Queen, I'll be able to take a load off of your shoulders." I say and he nods, leaning his head on my shoulder.

"I can't wait to see that crown on your head, my dear mate." I smile at his words, leaning closer to him and pressing my lips against him.

"It's going to be a night to remember." I giggle and Harry nods.

"It certainly will be."

"Will you and your Aunt be there?" I ask Sandrine over the phone that night. I hear a door closing and sheets being ruffled which tells me that she had just entered her bedroom and plonked down on her bed.

"Of course we'll be there! Next week right? What time?" She asks and I try to remember what time Nova had told me.

"10am. The ceremony is an hour long and the dinner after will be at 3pm. You both can even stay over." I say and Sandrine coughs before answering.

"Sure!" She exclaims and I laugh.

"Great! See you then." She agrees with me over enthusiastically and we end the call.

I sigh and drop the phone beside me on the bed.

Next week is going to be big.

Even though I get to organise it and pick out everything...I'm not as excited as I should be about being crowning a Queen of an entire Kingdom.

Maybe it's nerves?

Yeah, it's nerves.
