The thrill of my wedding died down enough for the excitement of Alex's to sore through the air.

With the news of the adorble princess finally getting married, and the news of the baby, I could only imagine what could be going through people's heads.

Good things I hope.

"Y/N," Taryn says as she walks into my room with a few tiaras in her hand. "Would you mind helping me prepare Alex since you're already dressed for the wedding?"

"Of course not," I smile as I.stand from my chair. "I'd love to help."

She walks over to her room, and Taryn opens the door to see a troubled looking Alex.

"What's the matter?" Taryn asks.

"I'm seventeen, pregnant, and I'm getting married. I don't even know what title I'll bestow after my marriage. And worst of all, I don't have a father to walk me down the ilse, nor can I find my mother's necklace."

Taryn rolls her eyes and smiles are her. "Alex," she says. "You're overreacting. Calm down, we have everything situated. I have your necklace, so please, calm down."

Alex's POV

I stare into Vylad's green eyes, and somehow I manage to fall even more in love with him. The excitment mixes with the love in his eyes, and a wide smile never leaves his lips. His eyes twinkle and sparkle, and his eyes overall show who Vylad really is as a person. Kind, gentle, loving, energetic: he's Vylad.

And I love him.

"And do you, Vylad Ro'meave, take Alexandra Zvahl to be your lawfully wedded wide?"

"I do."

"And do you, Alexandra Zvahl, take Vylad Ro'meave to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"With you power vested in me, you may kiss the bride."

Vylad smiles at me quickly, and he then leans forward as a loving kiss is pressed against my lips.

"Hey, Alex!"

I look down from the tree branch I'm sitting on to see Vylad wave to me as he begins to climb up the tree.

"Vylad!" I warn. "That's dangerous! I wouldn't want you to get hurt."

"I'm fine," he says as he climbs over me, quite awkwardly, may I add. "Besides, I'd rather have you be safe."

I roll my eyes as I lean back against the tree trunk behind me. I cross my arms over my chest and look out onto the village. My cloak flaps in the wind slightly, and I'm just about to give up. "That's exactly why I ran away," I say. "To get away from all of that stuff."

He lets out a shaky breath. "I'm sorry," he apologizes.

"No need to apologize, I'm just overreacting," I turn to look at him. "Have you ever wondered what your first kiss would be like?Call me cliché, but I have."

He scoots closer to me. "Sometimes. Do you. . ." he hesitates. "Want to see want the big fuss is about it?"

I lean forward. My hoods blocks my face, and he takes it down. I reply, "Sure."

No I know what the big fuss over it is. When you kiss somebody for the first time, it may not be the right person, you won't think of it as a big deal. Or even if the kiss was terrible, or even forced. But when it's with somebody you love, something. . . clicks.

Y/N's POV

Laurance drags me around the palace. The palace is basically his now. Hayden is in O'Khasis with Garte, and they're having a huge meeting concering the events that have happened in almost twenty four hours now. He missed his own daughter's wedding, but I don't think that phases him much. Laurance and Alex have already told me that all the Zvahl children are adopted. I'm just kind of glad that I wasn't adopted by Hayden.

"So," Laurance nudges me with his elbow. "We'll have the palace alone tonight. I can send the love birds off early, and even give the servants a night off if you want."

I begin to catch onto his lewd suggestions. I roll my eyes, and I begin to walk faster to my room. My hips sway, and I smirk I notice that Laurance say this. He bites his lip, and soon enough he's chasing after me.

I run around the palace halls, and I hide when needed. That is until he wraps his arms around my waist pulling me closer to his chest.

"Let them leave on time tonight," I whisper into his ear. "Then you can whisper more of your lewd desires in my ear."

"Can't wait," he whispers flirtatiously into my ears. His warm breath hits against my ear lobe, and even a little bit against my neck. I giggle after a shivers runs down my spine, and I run away. "Babe, come back!"

"You'll have to catch me first!"
