As reunions went, this was far from what I had in mind the countless times I imagined seeing Alexia in person once more. Bloody and beaten, with several wounded Lycans in toe, I am personally shocked her guards even allowed us through the main gates, much less allowed us to sit and lick our injuries in the courtyard while they fetched the queen.

“I’m just saying, we could have at least taken a detour to get new clothes, change yer knickers, and whatnot.”

I glanced at Olaf giving him the full weight of my ire and he raised his hands in a placating manner.

“Ok, so, the sweaty knickers can stay, if you insist!”

He said, and I barred my fangs and he sniggered despite the very mortal danger he was placing himself in.

“Why exactly do you keep this brute around?”

Aurelia inquired, and I turned and smirked at her.

“He has his uses, like tossing magiks on the draugr to allow us to escape in the horseless carriage.”

I said, and flushed slightly, instantly realizing my verbal misstep. Aurelia snorted and covered her lips. Part of me was saddened to witness her lush thick lips being covered, even if only for a moment. I could not stop fantasizing about kissing them or imagining how they might feel on every single bare portion of my body.

“How are your injuries, princess?”

I asked, and she gave me a mild look as if it were painful for her to admit anything was amiss with her body, yet I could visibly see the blunt force trauma of her many wounds. I also had my share of wounds, including a dangling right arm.

“I will be fine after a good meal and some sleep. Lycanthropes heal every bit as fast as you vampyrs.”

She told me, and a cold voice slashed through the pause in the conversation.

“Thank you, professor graduate student wolf. Without that dazzling dissertation, however, would my long-lived mother have decerned your recuperative prowess?”

My heartfelt like it was encased in ice as her cold voice sounded from atop the steps leading from her nearby porch. Alexia strode forward with her yellow hair gleaming and her outfit was tailored brilliantly and impeccably. She wore nearly skin-tight dress trousers with pinstripes and a matching navy blouse. I barely knew anything about modern women’s wear, but she appeared like the images I had seen depicting corporate powerful women at the very pentacle of their trades and crafts.

“Alexia…”

I breathed out and tears rushed to my eyes as if bidden preemptively. I could see the child I raised standing before me, yet she was not at all that little girl anymore. Power and poise exuded from my daughter in spades. She was not in fact as powerful as I, yet her power dwarf the other royals around her. Her blood hummed with a raw potential for future growth which bespoke her limitless potential.

Even though she was blonde and not ginger as Abigale, I could nearly see my fallen daughter inside her sister now. I could see how Alexia carried on for both.
