The Lycan King’s Long Lost Princess Chapter 88

Genevieve’s POV

Finally, I had just gotten twins both fed and asleep. They had their sponge bath, fresh onesies, and full bellies. I stand by their bassinets staring at them, still in shock about the fact that they’re here.

Hunter pulls me away from my thoughts as he grabs my hand. I place a small k**s on the twins’ foreheads and got into bed with Hunter.

“I love you.” He says. He pulls me closer to his chest and puts his face In my neck.

“I love you too,” I said. Soon after I had drifted deep asleep.

When I wake up I know exactly what’s going on. I follow her beautiful tune, walking through the trees until I see her standing in the moonlight.

“Genevieve. The first trial is complete. Do you like the surprise?” She asked. She turned towards me and smiled brightly, her golden eyes shining in the darkness.

“April?” I asked and she nodded.

“She’s breathtaking isn’t she?” She asks.

“Beyond that,” I say truthfully. She pulls me toward the middle of the clearing.

“Your gifts are unstable. Completing the trials will level them out. You’ll get new ones and they will be difficult to control at first. Eventually, they’ll be as easy as nodding your head.” She said. She grabbed my face gently and smiled.

“You are the first to complete the trials. The first of her kind. When you take your place as ruler of all, the throne will be passed down through generations. Only one shall have the gifts at a time, and until your heart no longer beats.. you, Genevieve are the Queen of all.” From princess to the queen of Augustine, to queen of all. Talk about promotion. I laughed internally at my stupid joke.

“It is time for the goddess part of you to come to life now.” She says. She waved her hand in the air and these sparkles begin to fly around in the palm of her hand. They begin to connect until she’s holding a silver chalice in her hand.

“Drink, my child.” She says. I look up at her then down at the chalice and I can’t help but wonder what it is.

“It is the b***d of the gods. Our essence. Our gifts. Drink.” She says. She holds the chalice closer to me and I take it from her hands and hold it to my lips.

I take a deep breath in my nose and breathe it out, tipping the chalice and emptying it. She places her thumb in the chalice, dragging it along the edge and covering it in the remaining b***d.

“ξυπνώ” (“awaken”) she says as she wipes the b***d down the middle of my lips. I feel a surge of energy flow through me and feel myself being lifted off the ground.

It’s like a piece of me I didn’t even realize was gone had come back. I felt, good. I felt almost complete.

“The second and third trial need to be completed on the next full moon.” She says. Isn’t that in 4 days?

“Yes.” I didn’t even have to ask her for her to know. It’s like she can read my mind.

“Now go my child. You are needed elsewhere.” She says. She k****s my cheek and disappears. I look around when I hear April crying.

“Wake up,” I tell myself. Her crying continues yet I’m still not awake.

“WAKE UP,” I said again. This time my eyes shoot open and I’m grabbing April from her bassinet.

“Shh. Shh. It’s okay.” I say. I get her latched and feeding. I look over beside me to find Hunter knocked out cold. He’s a lycan, how the h*ll did he not hear?

Waking up later in the morning I roll over to find the bed empty. Looking around the room I spot Hunter sitting in a chair with the babies, watching them sleep on his chest peacefully.

“Good morning.” He says. He looks up at me and smiles.

“Good morning,” I say.

I get up and brush my teeth and get dressed. I need to go to the dungeons. I’m going to find out everything.

“Where are you going?” Hunter asks. He places the twins in their bassinets.

“We need answers,” I said knowing he knew exactly what I was saying.

“No. Do you remember what happened last time you went down there? No.” He says grabbing my arm. I pull away and glare at him.

“I have to. We have 4 days until I have to do the second trial. I need to find out more about the vampire king, and we need to find John and anyone else who’s helping. I can command him. H*ll, you can! Or I can search his mind. We need to do this.” I say.

“Fine. You’re right, we do need to find out what we can. But if things start getting messy and I mean if I feel it for even a second, you’re done and we’re leaving the dungeon.” He says. I nod in agreement and he grabs my shoulders staring into my eyes.

“I mean it, Gen.” He says.

“I know. I promise I’ll be okay. I have better control now.” I said.

“Alright. Now. Who watches the twins?” He asks turning towards the babies.

“How about Dakota? She hasn’t seen them since she delivered them.” I laughed.

“Good idea.” He said.

I swear it was seconds after I mind-linked Dakota that she showed up at our door excited.

“Where are my niece and nephew?” She asks pushing her way inside the room and walking to their bassinets.

“Ah! I’m an aunt!” She squeals, forgetting that they’re sleeping. When she realizes she looks at me wide-eyed in an ‘oops’ sort of way.

“They’ll never sleep through anything if we stay quiet all the time,” I say. Dakota nods and smiles. She turns back to the babies and waves us off.

“Bye-bye now. It’s auntie time.” She says. I look at Hunter and snort trying to hold in my laughter. He smiles at me and pulls me out of the room.

Walking through the palace you wouldn’t even notice that half of the walls were on the floor by how clean it is. The walls are still gone, but the concrete and bodies are nowhere to be seen.

Hunter pulls me through the castle part the warriors’ quarters and the dungeon. He stops at the dungeon door and looks at me and opens his mouth to say something but I interrupt.

“I know. I’ll be good. Let’s go get some answers.” I say.
