“Are you alright, Princess Neoma?” Alpha King Burkoo asked while he caressed her hair.
She nodded and wiped her tears and looked at him. “Thank you, for being here for me, for us,” she said softly. Although she knew that she alone can fight with the Vampire Supremo yet having him around gave more confidence in her that they are going to win their fight against the Vampire Supremo.
“It is my pleasure, my Princess, my future Luna Queen,” he murmured which brought shiver running throughout all her veins.
“I am still young, I just turned eighteen, remember?” Princess Neoma said letting him understand as early as now that he needs to wait for her until she is already ready to be a married woman and to be his Luna Queen.
Alpha King Burkoo chuckled, but then replied in a positive way. “I know, I will wait until you are ready to be my Luna Queen.”
“Good, because I don’t want to be a married woman yet. I am still starting to enjoy my teen life,” she said smiling at him.
He sighed but nodded. “Alright, but you have to allow me to visit you every other day if not every day and you cannot date another man,” he said looking at her deeply.
“Hmm, alright. Deal.”
“Deal.”
Suddenly, Princess Neoma remembered that she does not know yet his age. “How old are you, by the way, Alpha King Burkoo? I hope not twice my age,” she said teasingly.
Alpha King Burkoo’s laughter filled the air as he pinched gently the tip of her nose. “Do I look too old already?”
“Hmm, not quite. So how old are you?”
Alpha King Burkoo cleared his throat and then whispered to her, “Thirty.”
“Alright. Anyway, you still looked like twenty,” she said teasingly again.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm.”
“Hmm. Am I allowed to kiss my future Luna Queen?” he asked with a puppy look but she shook her head and put her finger horizontally in the middle of his lips.
“Only from time to time. When there is an occasion to celebrate,” she said smilingly.
“What? But I have needs as a werewolf man,” he said sadly.
Princess Neoma suddenly furrowed. “So, what do you mean?”
“I mean it’s okay. It is fine with me,” he suddenly said forgetting about what he had just said.
“Thank you,” And by that, Princess Neoma kissed his one cheek as a sign of appreciation.
He rolled his eyes. “Can it be at least on the lips?” he requested.
She squinted her eyes at him and crossed her arms over her chest.
“What I mean is, thank you for the kiss on my cheek,” he said abruptly.
Princess Neoma smiled again, while Alpha King Burkoo was crying deep inside.

At the Kingdom of Knostican, Prince Quacey was sitting quietly in the lanai area. He was sipping his chamomile tea since he cannot easily sleep lately. His Uncle Marshall volunteered to be one of the roving guards tonight so he was not able to join him in his tea-drinking session tonight, which they usually do.
"Alone and lonely, haisst," he whined but grinned. Tomorrow, I will visit the Glodeous Kingdom, I am already missing Neoma and of course King Father and Queen Mother," he thought smiling.
"Prince Quacey, why are you alone here?" one of the guards who passed by asked him.
"Oh, Uncle Marshall joined the roving guards," he replied, surprised. "Where the hell did he come from?" he thought again shaking his head while looking at the guard's back who was already walking away after he excused himself from him.
He was still not in his right sense when he heard someone call his name again.
"Prince Quacey," said the voice and he furrowed. The voice is familiar. "Goodness, am I hallucinating?" he murmured as he turned his head to check the owner of the voice who called him.
Immediately, he alighted from his seat when he saw who had just come.
"Princess Neoma. Huh, I was just thinking of visiting the Glodeous palace tomorrow because I am already missing you there," he said almost exclaiming as he hugged his twin sister. Suddenly, his eyes landed on the tall, gorgeous man beside his twin sister. He looked at him furrowing.
"I know him Neoma. Why is he here?" he murmured to his sister's right ear.
"Oh, wait, I will introduce you, two with each other," Princess Neoma looked at Alpha King Burkoo and smiled.
"Alpha King Burkoo, this is my twin brother, Prince Quacey. Brother meet Alpha King Burkoo in person."
Prince Quacey did not move. He looked at Princess Neoma inquisitively. "Did I miss something, Princess Neoma?" he asked seriously.
Princess Neoma holds the hand of her twin brother and smiled at him. "I will tell you later on. Now say hello, at least," Princess Neoma said to her twin brother in a whispering tone.
"Hello, Alpha King Burkoo, welcome to the Knostican Palace," suddenly, Prince Quacey said while extending his hand to the Alpha King for a handshake.
Alpha King Burkoo smiled and took his offered hand and they had a hard handshake with each other.
"Nice meeting you, Prince Quacey," Alpha King Burko stated while shaking Prince Quacey's hand.
"Sis, would you like any drink? How about you Alpha King Burkoo?" Prince Quacey asked upon settling himself down to the couch again.
"Chamomile tea would be fine with me. How about you, Alpha King Burkoo?"
"Can I have a coffee, Babe?" he said softly, but Prince Quacey heard what he called to Princess Neoma and his forehead furrowed again.
"Babe?" Prince Quacey mimicked the sweet name that the Alpha King called on to his twin sister.
"Yes. Princess Neoma is my mate, Prince Quacey, and my soon-to-be Luna Queen," Alpha King Burkoo replied cooly and somehow with pride.
"Oh, I see," nodding his head, Prince Quacey said while looking at Princess Neoma with a raised eyebrow. "What's going on in here?" he thought, curious.
His twin sister just smiled at him and tapped his shoulders, then said, "Later, twin brother. Be patient, alright?"
