Sophia P.O.V.
I hear a knock on the door as I am waking up. I look at the clock: 6A.M. I can’t believe that someone is waking me up at this time in the morning. I look at the guy that satisfied me last night. “Yes.” I say loud enough so the man will wake up. “Your Imperial Highness, your Father, the Emperor, is waiting for you in the great hall with a mission.”
“You get the girls to get me ready.” I answer to what she said. “You get up. You need to leave this room.”
“Come on kitten. You don’t have to shy. I know you loved it last night. I was your best sex.”
I get up and I go to the bathroom. “Do you know who I am?” I ask him as I get out of the bathroom.
“You are…” and then silence as my ladies in waiting enter my room. “Your Imperial Highness” he says as he jumps of the bed and, in a hurry, he takes his clothes and leaves me to my own problems.
“Do you know why father needs me?” I ask my first lady in waiting, but also my father mistress. I don’t care if Anne sleeps with father, as my mother is dead, and he is in his midlife crisis for the 400th time. It is time for me to get a mate, as tomorrow I get my 200th anniversary. Maybe this is the year where I can get my mate and leave this place. My older brothers have mates and the only one that stays in the palace is Andrew, the future Emperor of Vampires. “I don’t know why your father summed you, but I can say that I think you will have to leave this palace for a while. Therefore, I bought you a gift.” She hands me a box of jewelry. I take it and I open it. I find a neckless with a plate of white gold. On one side there are my initials and on the other side is black. “On the back of the plate there are some fangs, and the empty part is for your mate.” I get up and hug her.
“Thank you.” I said as I get out of the hug. “Now, I need go to see what my Father.” I go into the Great Hall and there he is, Father and some wet dogs, but then, Fire gets so excited, that I almost glow my element out. I feel the smell of a forest in a rainy day. “Sophia, our guests are the Imperial Family of the Lycan Werewolf. The King is here with his son, Prince Andrew to discus the borders and you and him will go to visit them.”
“I understand, Father. Your Imperial Highnesses.” I greet the King and Prince, as I realise the prince is my mate. “I will be honoured to help our alliances and to fortify our borders.” I smiled at Andrew, but when I look closely, he has a promise ring on his finger.
Andrew P.O.V.
I am in the Great Hall of Vlad the Impaler and everything smells as death people and, from what I know, I will have to stay sometime with a vampire from the Imperial Family and stay in this smell, while I would miss my favourite mistress, which I promised to marry if I don’t find my mate. When the door opens, I smell fresh lilies and a mixt of chocolate with vanilla. I look at her, while the Vampire Emperor speaks. I must spend time with my mate, while I have a promise ring on my ring finger and a bruise on the spot where she needs to mark me. I am ashamed of myself that the first time I see my mate I look like a male prostitute. When the Emperor stopped talking, my mate greets us, and I have a feeling she sees my promise ring.
“Princess” I greet her, in return “I hope we will get along for the next couple of mouths.”
“Couple of months? I taught that the tour is just a couple of weeks.” She says as she is looking at my ring “I will go and get ready of months.” She exits and I sense the smell of another vampire on her. James is screaming to get and mark her right there, but I keep him in check. “I will go to my chambers and rest for the morning. I hope you don’t mind, Father, Your Imperial Highness.” I speak. I need to get her and we need to talk.
