***

The clock stroke 12, each of the brothers stood in place each not daring to move as much as muscle. They could barely contain themselves as they waited for the beloved guest of honor that was certain to arrive now.

Silas Guire Grando joined his sons, his white wolf cloak shown brighter than theirs, his own cloak was 600 years old but looked newer and even better, Silas color was also white, same as Spike.

Spike had always let his arrogance slid as saying he was the first true son.

Each of them bowed In respect to Silas except Spike who raised his head up and looked Into the night sky.

Earlier before, he and Silas had a bad quarrel, Spike had insisted on taking his father's cloak.

"It a forbidden to put on a skin that is not yours, a sacrifice was made and we must not disobey the gods.

"No one will find out father, your cloak looks more grand and it will attract attention to me", Spike said stubbornly.

"No No Spike. If you put on my cloak you shall be cursed. The ceremony is always fair and that is how it shall be!", Silas retorted sitting on his throne.

Spike was adamant and stubborn, he had always been that way, he had always wanted more and always wanted to be above his brothers no matter what.

Spike had a scar on his lower back, a deep scar that almost took his life but luckily his weak spot was his buttocks.

Spike got the scar on a traditional hunt during vampire training. Silas had taken his sons with his when they were in the prime stage of Vampirism to hunt, the aim was to return to the starting ground at the 3rd clock stoke with 4 wolves on each team, Alaric and Lilith, Otis and Cassius, And Silas and Spike.

"So my sons, there shall be no bows or arrows. A test of strength it shall be, I want you too suck out those wolves lives, kill them and bring them back here. Show them what you're made of, bite into their necks and drink them in!"

"We promise to make you proud father".

"Alaric and I will do our best". Lilith assured.

"Don't let the slightest harm reach your weak point", Silas warned.

Silas weak point was his jaw, he stroked it as he spoke.

Spike shrugged "I can kill more than 4 wolves bare handed myself. My fangs are strong enough". He ran his tongue over them proudly.

"Seat still brother. My very hand can strangle anything, I might as well look out for Alpha wolves too". Otis said demonstrating how to strangle with his hands.

"Don't slow me down ok". He shoved Cassius.

"No No Otis, alpha wolves are to be used for special occasions only, today we shall just take out the weakest"

"But how are we supposed to be able to kill alpha wolves for special occasions if we don't practice now!" Cassius countered, furrowing his thick black brows.

"You'll understand later my son. Rules are Rules". Silas comforted.

Spike let out a tremendous sigh but said nothing although a plan had emerged in his head.

"You see my son, my father told me a story when I was your age". Silas was telling Spike a story as they wondered into the forest.

Spike was a bit interested.

"He said that, long before when vampires still sucked human blood, there was a king, his name was...err...err..." Silas stammered. "Anyways son, the king fell in love with a mortal human, a beautiful lady she was as I was told"

"We can drink human blood? But there are no humans here".

"Yes but because of the kings mistake million years ago the humans are now in a different world, we now have to feed on other living creatures like wolves and animals. But there was a time when there was abundance of humans in this world"

"Where are they now?" Spike asked.

"As I said, in a different world, now let me finish my story, now, the human the king fell in love with was supposed to be a sacrifice".

"So there's no way we can ever get to the humans?" Spike wanted to know.

"There is. There is one way, there is a tree, a sacred tree. It's a portal between this world and theirs. After the Grand ceremony when you become master vampire you shall be given a *night*. With a *night* you can travel into the human world and get your slaves".

"A night?"

"Yes, that is what it is called *night*."

"Where is this night?".

"Safe with me, the *night* is only given to a master vampire with a bride. With the *night* and the sacred tree you'll be able to get into the human world and take them as your army after turning them into vampires then build your own kingdom. That's how it has been. I remember when I got into the human world, it was confusing at first but it only took me 3 human nights to gather my army and bring them back to form my kingdom".

"I wish I had the *night* I will go into the human world and take them all as my army".

Silas laughed out loud at his sons words, what an amateur"

"You will get the *night* if you get chosen by a princess as her mate"

"How do you use the *night* and the sacred tree and where is the sacred tree?"

"I would like to finish my story first".

"Wait I hear something" Spike suddenly froze.

"I know Spike. I heard it too, it's an alpha wolf, he's probably hunting. Let's move on there will be more wolfs ahead of us".

"But we have to kill four wolves and this can be number one", Spike smiled indulgently.

"It is forbidden Spike, move on". The words had hardly left his mouth before Spike sprang into action.

In a blink, Spike had covered the 10 miles distant and was standing beside the Alpha wolf.

"Oh no spike" Silas whispered into the darkness before he too did the same.

"Spike No"

One moment Spike was above the wolf trying to slice his furry neck, the wolf fought back, the alpha wolf out turned spike and threw him flat on his back, Spike held on to his fur and ripped out the fur below his neck.

"Enough Spike" Silas tried to interject.

Spike was on his feet again and lunging towards the wolf. The alpha wolf lunged forward too and slashed his claws over spikes back in three strokes. Spike dropped weakly.

"Spike!!"

Two of the scars healed but Silas insisted on one to be left as a lesson for Spike.

Alaric and Lilith won the challenge, they succeed in bringing back 4 wolves.

"This is the moment we have all been waiting for my sons. If only there were six kingdoms you might all get one princess each". Silas said to them. He was worried, he knew one them would be left behind, no bride to rule a kingdom with.

There were 5 vampire kingdom, Silas Guire Grando had 5 sons while the other four kingdoms had a daughter each and they were being matched together.

Each of them had completely buried their nervousness and they tried to portray a solid proud look. They stood arm to arm but this time firmly.

"The four princesses will arrive soon!"

Just as Silas spoke the palace gate was opened slowly. The gates went apart and in marched four carriages.

"Here we go".

In marched a very large grand carriages led by then horses.

"Uhm those horses look delicious". Lilith muttered. His brother brothers snickered, not because it was funny but because they were nervous.

The guests emerged from the carriage one after the other carriage.

D'Arcy, the princess trainer was first to emerge, she was clad in all black, she had extremely long flowing black hair.

The second guest emerged. She was the first sister, Belle. The first princess they were expecting.

They brothers had never seen her before but they knew she was a beauty.

Belle's skin was tanned, almost like Otis. Her shoulders showing above her dress were wide and inviting. Belle had shoulder length golden brown hair, they were thick and silky. Her face had an elegant beauty and she wore a wide friendly smile as she stood up fully. She wore a golden brown silky dress with princess darts, it was full and beautiful.

The second princess emerged, Princess Esmeralda [Esme].

She had a pale fairy skin that was spotless and unadorned.

Princess Esme's straight black hair stopped at her waist line and shown bright. She wore a grey dress that matched exactly with Alaric's. He almost jumped for joy but it was too soon.

Princess Esme wore the same wide friendly smile.

The third princess, Amber.

Princess Amber had a brown skin, it glittered like pebbles in the river. Her long wavy brown hair fell lightly over her back and shoulder, she wore a brown brooch.

Amber was putting on a long brown dress that covered her feet just like her sisters.

The forth princess emerged, Layla.

Princess Layla stared down shyly, she had curly white hair that fell over her face and neck.

She too had the same long dress as her sisters, her dress was was white and welcoming. Her color was white.

All four princesses had black eyes.

Princess vampires do not have colors. They get the color of their mate after they are entangled.

"Welcome lady D'Arcy, Princesses!. It has an honor to have you here we with us!".

"My king! It is an honor to be here, we are grateful". D'Arcy's sing song voice said.

D'Arcy, and the princesses bowed.

"Meet my sons. This is my first son Alaric and beside him is my second son Lilith. My third son Otis. My forth Son Spike and my fifth son Cassius".

"We are honored to meet you" they chorused.

"My princesses" D'Arcy started proudly "are Belle, Esmeralda, Amber and Layla".

Layla raised her head and quickly bowed back. Spike and Cassius smiled at her.

As tradition, each princess will pick a prince of her choice and the prince would get a *night* to transport into the human world where he has to turn 1000 humans into vampires and bring them back to the vampire world to start his kingdom with his bride. That was the advantage and disadvantage of being a royal blood vampire.

"Very well then, the ceremony shall begin" the king announced.
