The Coronation

Chapter 18

March 20 xxxx,
Today is my 18th birthday. My mom and dad are throwing me a huge party at the castle and they are inviting all the kingdoms. I hope I can see the boy again.

March 21 xxxx,
Last night was so spectacular! I wish I can replay that night every time. I finally got to talk to the boy!!! He is so handsome and charming. His name is Camius and it was like love at first sight. We got to talk the whole night.

March 22 xxxx,
Camius and his father stayed the night at the castle. I got to talk to him again and I feel like he is hiding something from me. I hope he can tell me what it is.

March 23 xxxx,
My family had dinner with Camius and his father. I found out that Camius is a vampire. I don't think I am allowed to be with a vampire, but I know I am falling in love with him and I want to be with him.

March 24 xxxx,
Today I just had my first kiss with Camius. He told me that he loves me as well. I am kind of sad though because he is going back to his kingdom. How can I ever see him again?

I was so caught up in reading the diary I didn't notice Malik by me.

"Ms. Ophelia? Ophelia!"

I closed the diary and jumped a bit in shock. "Malik don't scare me like that!" "I am sorry, but I called and knocked on your door multiple of times. I thought you ran away again," he explains.

I place the diary on the coffee table. "You are very caught in that book, what is it about?" Malik questions and I get a tad nervous. "It's a romance story something like Romeo and Juliet," I lie. He eyes out the book and turns his attention back to me.

"What would you like to do today?" Malik says while dusting the night stand. I think a bit, what would I want to do today?

"Is there a possibility that I can train?"

Malik drops the duster in surprise, "Umm why would you want to train?" "I am also a wolf Malik, I need to work on my fighting skills."

Malik is quiet for a bit and I know he is thinking this out because the king might get mad. I don't blame him, the king is kind of scary.

"You can train, but do not bother the alphas and the king." I smile, "Thank you Malik." I go and get changed into a sports bra and leggings.

Don't bother the king and alphas, why would I bother them?

....................................................................................

I walk to the training pit where Malik told me to go. As I enter the smell of sweat, blood, and men fill my nose. The sound of weights clanking and fists hitting leather all tell me this is fighting grounds that the royal guards, alphas, and the king uses.

I look around and I don't spot a single female. Are females not allowed to be royal guards?

I see an open punching bag and I walk up to claim it. Some eyes are on me as I wrap my hands with tape. In the corner of my eye I see the alphas and the king sparring with each other.

Do not bother the alphas and the king.

I sigh at remembering Malik's words and bring my hands up in a position ready to hit. My fists start to collide with the punching bag and I also add in a few swings with my feet.
