I'm Married to a Vampire!

I'm what?!

"Is it bad that I'm not surprised. Because you smell like the outdoors. A lot." Amelia laughed at my blunt statement.

"Ouch, Taylor. I thought what we had was special." Jase tried to look hurt which was adorable because he looks like a lost puppy.

"Finally mom and dad can retire and y'all can take the throne." Xavier threw a look at Amelia. What what? Throne?

"Throne? What do you mean 'y'all can take the throne' Amelia?" The room fell silent.

"You didn't tell her you were a prince? Bad move, brother." That made her earn a growl from Xavier. Amelia turned her direction to me. "Our family is royalty. Our parents are King and Queen of the vampiric world and even though I'm the big sister, I passed down the throne to this big guy," she gestured her hand at Xavier "I don't like the role and all of the parties and meetings you have to attend."

"And what makes anyone think I would? I wasn't prepared to be married to a vampire! Let alone a vampire prince!" I started pacing from couch to couch.

"Taylor, you don't have to take the role if you don't want to." Xavier patted the seat next to him for me to sit down. I quickly obliged.

"But does that mean I wouldn't be able to be with you?" I couldn't do that. I would do anything to be with Xavier even if that meant becoming a vampire queen.

"I would see you a lot less. But I would still see you. I know it's a lot to take in, but again you kind of already are the vampiric princess." He looked at the wedding ring on my finger.

"Oh well for the past two years of being a princess it's been pretty good. Like a dream."

"That's because you didn't know about our kind. Now you do and there's responsibilities that comes with it. Like making appearances, keeping up with fashion, which you already do. And keeping a good reputation." Amelia sure does like to talk to me now I know what she is.

"Well I need to get my mind off of this. Would anyone like some wine?" I got up and a round of yeses erupted. When I came back with the wine glasses I saw Amelia looking at herself in the mirror and Jase poking Xavier's cheek and Xavier looks like he's debating whether or not to strangle him.

"Wow this is a tough mirror. Or maybe it's just been a tough day." I really like this side of Amelia.

"It's probably been a tough day. I know it has been for me. I find out your husband is a vampire prince, have an awkward run in with my ex, and find out that I'm a princess."

"Wait, pause, rewind. Did you just say you ran into your ex?" Jase looked at Xavier "Did you kill him? If you did that's real petty of you."

"No I didn't kill him. He's Landon Kempt." Xavier seemed irritated.

Jase's eyes seemed to have gotten bigger than golf balls. "The Landon Kempt? As in the guy who is trying to take you place as king?"

"Woah. Landon, my ex, is a vampire?" I couldn't believe it. We were pretty serious but I felt like he was holding something back. Took 3 1/2 years to figure it out though.

"Yes and he wants power. He is willing to kill to be king. That son of a bitch is ruthless. He broke my sister's heart. Using her to get to the top." Xavier's voice sounded guttural.

"He realized that I didn't want the crown and dumped me." Amelia didn't even seem phased. I guess she didn't care.. anymore.

"His loss." Jase muttered. Everyone turned their eyes on him.

"Hey know crushing on my sister. Especially you." Xavier growled.

"Don't worry I'm not prepared to die yet." Jase gave a wink to Amelia. Amelia blushed and looked away. I think they would look great together.
