My dad and I just stood looking at each other. It must have been a full ten minutes before he finally spoke,"I thought you were dead."
I replied: "You were meant to since I had planned to commit suicide.
He responded: "What stopped you? Was it your conscience, not that you have one!"
I just looked at him . I shouted at him: "You should talk! Just when were you planning on telling me I was adopted?"
He went white.
The man that accompanied my dad to the meeting stood up and faced him. "Adopted sir? You told us it was IVF."
He shouted back: "It doesn't matter she's still my daughter and heir by law."
Matthew stood next to me in case dad tried anything.
Dad looked at Matthew. "I'll make this quick since I don't have much patients. Give me my daughter back or I will tell every member of my pack to hunt down and kill any vampire they see. You know this will be the end of the peace, so hand her over."He said looking at me.
Both Matthew and Damien stood in front of me to protect me.
Damien spoke: "You know full well that we will never give her up not without a fight."
"Then war it is then!" father said as he left with his pack member.
Matthew said: "Damien get the council together urgently."
"Why would you do that?" I asked.
Matthew explained: "Because you are our princess. I would die before I gave you over to them."
"Thank you!" was all I could say.
He smiled and led me to the council hall everyone was already waiting for us.
When we had entered the coucil chamber Matthew addressed them. Matthew told them what happened. The members of the council couldn't believe it.
Matthew continued. "Their ultimatum is war or the princess! That's their offer. I don't think that they are in a mood to negotiate. I told them where to stick it but if the council wishes otherwise so be it."
I looked at him he winked at me knowing full well what they would say a man on the front row stood "Then war it is. We will never give the princess up!" he said.
It had been three days since the meeting with my father. I was standing on the balcony looking over the grounds of the palace. The ground stretched as far as you could see. There was a large crystal blue lake just north of my balcony surrounded on three sides by mountains. I was lost in thought when a voice spoke over to me.
"Yes, the grounds are beautiful this time of year."
Ilooked around it was Damien "how did you know what I was thinking?" I asked.
"Because you are always out here and there's only one thing of interest that could be out here." he said.
"I think you know far to much about me Damien!" I teased.
