Once bitten

Chapter 3

Yzobel woken up refreshed that morning. She learned last night that she was the oldest among her sisters. Melia's younger by two months, and Kazandra is younger to her by

five months. She'll be coming of age in a months time, so she's hoping that she'll met her mate in school that will also start next month exactly on her birthday (their birthday is still on the day that they were born).

She was startled as Kazandra came bursting in her room after banging at her door.

"Wake up, wake up sleepy head," she sing songs.

She can't help but to laugh at Kazandra's antics. She is really playful and easygoing.

"We'll gonna go shopping later, so get up now" Kazandra excitedly exclaimed.

"Ok, ok. Just let me freshen up first."

She met Melia in the corridor as they both approaches the stairs. She smiles as she hooks her arm to her.

"Kazandra woke you up?" Melia asked her.

"You also?" and they both laughed.

Though Melia's more refined than Kazandra she also have a bubbly personality. But she thinks that she only shows it to them, for they are family..

Duke Marshall is already at the dining hall, waiting for them. He gestured her to sit on his right as Melia sits on his left. Kazandra also already in there sitting next to her seat.

"So I asked Keegan here to accompany you later. Buy everything you need, my treat."

"Papa you don't have to." she sweetly declined.

"Please let me spoil you this time."

She doesn't know how to answer that, but she felt in his words that he really wanted to spoil them just like a father do with his daughters. She can't help but to feel warm inside.

"Thank you," she said.

"No, thank you," and he look them one by one lovingly. "You have given this old vampire a reason to live, and you all bring this household it's warmth and light. And I know everyone here appreciate your presence." He looked at butler Keegan, and they saw the same happiness and warmth written in his face like the Duke has. Even the helpers had the same warm smiles on their faces.

Suddenly, Kazandra jumps out of her seat and shouted,"Group hug!"

As if reading each others mind, they reach a helper in each of their hands as they neared in the dukes seat. And they hug the Duke together with each and everyone of the members of the Marshall household.

The days immediately pass by, and now she's getting up to prepare for the first of school.

She just turned 200 last night and good thing she has convinced everyone to just have an intimate dinner than the lavish party the Duke and her sisters are planning.

She really ain't a party person and she doesn't like being in the spotlight, which she know will happen if she has gave in to them.

The Duke even thought of inviting the royal family.

He mentioned to them that their queen even though not a pureblood, but a full blooded royal. Her parents are the ruler of two kingdom. Her father is the King of the werewolves who was a half werewolf/half vampire, while her mother, a half witch/half vampire is the queen of the magic people. Making the Princess a tribrid.

When the two find out that they are mates the two kingdom merged, making the vampire king feel threatened. So he visited the new parents, saying he just wanted to pay respect to the newborn Princess of the two kingdoms.

He who was already 415 years old then, but he hasn't found his mate yet. But after seeing the Princess, he realized that she is his mate and had a talk of merging the three kingdoms instead than a talk of alliance.

With the King and Queens permission, they will be married when the Princess reach 17, the mature age of werewolves. Only then he will bite the Princess to complete their bond.

Now that the three kingdoms are merge, it will be decided soon but still be connected. Because when the Princes were born, they each only have the blood of their father and a part of their mother. The eldest is full vampire. The twins is half vampire half/half wizard. And the youngest, the triplets are half vampire/half werewolf.

Her reminiscing of the previous conversation last night was interrupted by a soft knock on her door, then she heard Butler Keegan voice.

"Lady Yzobel, breakfast will be serve in ten minutes. We will wait for you at the dining hall."

"Ok, thank you."

Then she heard the butler's retreating steps.

She decided to be casual on the first day. She just wore a white midriff off-shouldered blouse and a denim jeans.

She wore an inch heeled sandals, and her makeup is very light.

She take a last look at the mirror, and content on how she looked she get out of her room.

She was the next one in the dining hall with the Duke that has given her an approving look on the way she dressed.

Just a minute after her comes Melia, that was dressed almost the same with her.

She's wearing a white tank top inside her denim jacket that she partnered with denim skirt.

She and Melia can't help but laugh as Kazandra entered wearing a denim jump-skirt ang a white fitted long sleeve blouse.

"It seemed that you have decided to have your own uniform," Duke Marshall comments chuckling.

After breakfast they all head on to the garage. They decided that they'll just take her car as they all doesn't like to be transported to and fro in school with the luxurious limousine.

Though her moss green Porsche is a luxury in human standard, it will be common in this community.

Though they were the Duke's blood daughters, they're still enrolled on their real surnames.

She as Yzobel Almazan. And Melia's real surname is Brett, and Kazandra is Romanov.

They were all thankful to this because they don't want special treatment being their father is the founder of the school.

As she parked her car, they all looked at each other and said, "Let's go."
