MINI STORY: Love Within the Realm

The Youngest Princess finds Love

“The Youngest Princess finds Love”

The Story of Frankie Oxford and Nadia

“Yes,” Frankie replied to the queen as she questioned him on the status of the royal village and city, “We have fifty houses already renovated between the city and the village. We’ll need at least 6 more with the numbers you’re talking about. Nadia has a landscaping crew out there working on the final touches as we speak.”

Frankie was so in love with his mate. She was only 17, which felt a little cringy, but he couldn’t deny how deeply he fell for the youngest siren princess. He would wait until she was 18 and felt the bond herself to make any sort of move, it was the respectful thing to do. Until then, he adores and fawns over her in every way that he can. He spoils her with clothes, jewelry, anything she wants. He made sure the royal palace had a pool added to the outside so she could swim whenever she wanted to. She was his entire world.

When their meeting was finished, Nadia went off with Meredith to check on the progress of the homes while Frankie spoke with Leo about his ideas for the city and village.

“The village should be for our highest ranking members since it’s the closest to the castle. You and the other two legacy families need to pick out your houses and we need to leave some empty for once you start having children. Those who volunteered to come here first and have helped to rebuild the realm should also have homes in the village. The rest can be housed in the city, it’s only a few miles from the palace anyway, so it’s still a part of our community. Eventually, I’d like to have some more suburbs, if you will, throughout the realm so everyone doesn’t have to live so close to the palace if they don’t want to,

“The city should be the epicenter of the realm. I want an open air market, a school, a daycare, and a community center to start.” King Leo explained his idea.

“Sounds great. There are about fifty homes in the village that can be repaired yet and another hundred or so in the city. I have already looked at the acreage around each and have a few ideas about expanding the city and village so we can add some new houses plus those buildings you want for the city.” Frankie replied.

“Perfect, let’s see it then.” Leo grinned.

“Nadia….” Frankie looked at his mate hesitantly.

“I feel it, Frankie, all of it.” She had tears welling her eyes as she looked over her mate, seeing him for what felt like the first time.

Frankie’s face broke out into an earth shattering grin as he wrapped his arms around her waist. His wolf started howling in his head as he confirmed what he’s known for two years. Nadia was his mate.

Finally, he was able to love his mate how he wanted to from the beginning. He pulled her away only slightly, grasping her face in between his hands.

“I’m going to kiss you now.” He whispered.

Nadia licked her lips in anticipation and nodded eagerly.

Frankie crashed his lips to hers, backing her up against their bedroom wall and pressing his body over hers. He felt her tremble under him, the heat of their desires causing both of them to flush deeply.

“I love you so much, princess.” Frankie purred into her ear, nibbling on her earlobe.

“I love you, too.” She shivered.

Frankie gently laid his mate down on the bed and took his time undressing her. He knew he was going to be her first and he was determined to give her everything that she needed, and more. Once they were both naked, he began peppering her body with kisses, trailing his gentle touch over her sensitive skin.

Nadia trembled under him, but not from fear, no, it was from anticipation. He was going too slow. She wanted more, she wanted all of it.

“Frankie.” She groaned, wiggling under his touch.

He chuckled at his eager mate and settled himself between her legs, licking her core. She cried out in pleasure as he pressed one, then two fingers inside of her. She withered and shook under his attention, coming undone just by his fingers and tongue. He licked his lips and returned to her mouth, making her taste herself.

In one swift motion, he entered her core and stilled, allowing her to adjust to his size. In seconds, Nadia was ready for more. She wrapped her legs around his waist and started grinding against his hips. Frankie’s gaze turned serious as his eyes darkened, his wolf coming out.

“I want to mark you.” He growled deeply.

“Then mark me.” Nadia said in a sure voice.

Frankie’s movements turned more wild as he pumped in and out of her. When her core clamped around his member and they were both close to finishing, he felt his canines sharpen to a point and he sank them into her neck. Finally, Nadia was marked as his, forever.

“Are you sure you're ready for this?” Nadia asked as she walked towards the water.

“Ready to be marked by my mate? Hell yes!” Frankie said eagerly, walking right past her and diving into the pool.

Nadia laughed at her mate and sank into the water herself. The water swirled around her, taking her legs with it. She was left in her iridescent tail and small tiara, marking her as the youngest siren princess.

Frankie swam up to her and wrapped his arms around her petite waist. He couldn't get used to seeing her in her siren form. It was utterly stunning; from her green and blue scales to her flawless, snow-like skin and dripping wet hair, she was gorgeous. And she was all his.

Frankie couldn’t wait any longer. He pulled her against his body and started kissing her feverishly. In a matter of seconds, he felt her face change against his. He pulled away and admired her changing form, running his fingertips along her skin.

“Make me yours forever, princess.” He purred and she did as he commanded.

Nadia sank her fangs into his neck and she wasn’t gentle about it either. Frankie winced, but the pain quickly gave way to pleasure and he shuttered under his mate. Nadia kissed and sucked the wound, licking up the blood and sealing it. She pulled away and placed her hands on either side of his face, staring deep into his eyes.

“Now you are mine and I am yours, forever.”

“Do you know what this big announcement is?” Nadia asked Meredith as they shuffled towards the throne room.

“No idea.” Meredith shrugged.

“I bet the queen is finally pregnant.” April whispered, joining the girls.

“You think?” Meredith gasped.

“Ladies, enough gossiping.” Frankie rolled his eyes.

The King and Queen had called the six of them into the throne room early in the morning for some announcement. They were all excited to hear what the news was. Of course, they were hoping for a royal baby. It’s been three years since the realm was opened and everyone was eager for an heir.

Austyn-Rose and Leo were sitting on their thrones with huge grins on their faces, their hands clinging to each other between the regal chairs.

“Are you pregnant?” Meredith shouted out and everyone glared at her.

Austyn-Rose threw her head back and started laughing.

“Why, yes, yes I am.” She declared.

Everyone started to cheer.

“It’s a boy, his name will be Emmett Storm.” Leo announced and the cheers got louder.

“The next king!” Frankie shouted.

“No, not necessarily. That’s why we called you all here. We want to tell you our plan for the Trials.” Leo said,

“Navy!” Nadia shrieked, throwing herself across the beach to hug her sister.

Navy was standing with her sons, Briggs and Bourne, and her daughter, Blossom. She smiled as her sister scurried across the sand and wrapped her arms around her in a hug.

“It’s so good to see you.” Navy sighed, happy to finally have her sister in her arms after so many years, “You look amazing.” She said, holding Nadia at arms length to investigate her body.

“I look like a whale.” She grumbled, rubbing her hand over her swollen belly.

“You look beautiful, my princess.” Frankie said, wrapping his arms around his pregnant mate.

“He’s right. So, am I getting a niece or nephew?” Navy asked eagerly.

“A niece. Constance Oxford.” Nadia replied proudly.

“Another siren!” A voice cheered from behind them and the sisters turned to see who the new guest was.

“Dad!” Nadia cheered, “Mom!” She hugged her parents closely.

Lachlan and Hudson were there as well with their mates, Gloria and Mallary, and their kids, Coral, Ocean, North, and Sebastian. The siren family shared a much needed group hug. They hadn’t seen each other since the Council was overthrown almost five years ago now.

The children ran around the beach, playing with each other for the first time. Coral was the oldest among them, at five years old, but Briggs was a close second in age. Bourne, Ocean, and North were chubby toddlers and Sebastian and Blossom were still babies. The eight of them stood, side by side, on the beach watching the cousins play.

“Did you ever think it would be like this?” Navy asked no one in particular.

“Never.” Their mother, Isla, replied, “I thought the surface would be a terrifying place forever.”

“We need to do this more often.” Knox said, smiling down at his mate, Navy, “There’s no reason we can’t all be together.”

“He’s right. We fought for this, we need to enjoy it.” Lachlan, the siren king, replied.

“Let’s agree to not let another year go by without seeing each other at least once.” Hudson said,

“Yes, absolutely.” Nadia smiled and the others nodded in agreement.
