I finished talking to joanna and started to scan the clan when i heard  a  young  mans voice  saying

"Your royal highness  what danger are we in we as a clan have a right to know"

I nodded and i started  to tell them how we are  in danger from the red vampire wolves clan and how the original leader has a child  who is more cold hearted  and evil then there parents  the all looked scared  and one of the elder  moonstone wolves  told them to

" take them to the palace and show the princess sorry the queen her chambers  and show the new king to his palace behind the moonstone palace staraunt and luna always kept there love close heheheh"

I looked at the elder and she told me that my  grandmother and lucias grandfather loved each other  immensly but due to there royal duties the never became one the story was sad then the elder looked at me and asked

"My dear what's going on with you and lucia are you both in love  i saw him shielding  you when joanna and dustin were abusive towards you"

I replied  to the elder

" yes its true me and lucia are in love with each other and we are engaged  to marry as soon as our royal duties are finished and we want our son to meet his dad after ten years"

"Oh i see  the elder replied so u already  had a child that the prophecy  had explained to us centuries  ago  and your going to marry the starstone  wolf king well we can do this you and lucia can get married after your coronation  ceremony  and we can call the young prince here if you want unless because of the coming  danger you want him away from the palace and we can assign  a warrior to him for protection and he can meet his father  when he becomes a young man capable to fight back if necessary  the choice is yours my dear"

The elder dropped me to my  chamber  and told me to think about the choice  to leave joshua away from the palace to protect him or i can call him to the palace and put him in danger as he wont be ready to fight i called lucia  telepathically and he was in my chamber  in a second he looked worried.

I hugged him and told him everything the elder said and what i said to her about us loving each other and wanting to get married ect and then i asked  him  to marry me after the coronation  ceremony  he looked at me then he kissed me i took thst as a yes he also agreed we keep joshua away from the palace until he was older and we would assign him 3 warriors  and i was going to send carmen to him so that he could contact me and his dad  whenever he wanted.

I called joanna to my chambers with carmen and shaun joanna came after a few minutes with carmen and shaun  carmen was excited to see me and even shaun was happy carmen came in and gave me a big hug and kiss  and then she looked at joanna and her smile faded  i gave carmen a kiss in the head to let her know i never  minded  her hugging  and kissing me carmen got happy again i sent joanna  out of my chambers to get the kids something to eat  she  was about to leave when i stopped  her in between and told her after i spoke to carmen i was going to speak to her she nodded in agreement then she left.

I played with carmen and then i apologised  to her for when lucia asked her the question  about her parents she smiled and said

" your royal highness  i was  told by my mother if anything happens to  her she wanted me to tell you the queen of moonstone palace she also told me to expect a gift that was going to come for me  when i turned ten the story about my mother is she was killed  by a a evil  vampire werewolf while berry picking in the forest  because  in may and june the best and sweetest berries are picked  and mama used  to make a bery berry special forest  cake then the rest of the berries would be sold  in the markets  and papa would go but he also died  after mama.

papa  was ill and without parents  some local  boys from another village would come to the house and try to hurt me  they would close the door and huur" she started  shaking  then I knew  why joanna  became protective  when i hugged  carmen.

I was going to tell  her to stop the story but she carried on  and then she said  one day while getting water joanna saw carmen crying and bruised and she  asked her what happened  carmen told her every thing  and one night carmen  was told by joanna to  carry on her day as usual and at night joanba sat in the house  in wolf form  and just like always the local boys from the other village  came  in the house and they closed the door   as soon as the door was closed  joanna jumped out of  the shadows  and scared them shirtless.

they ran away never  to return  from that day  joannas been like a guardian  to shaun and carmen  clara understood so much  and she asked the guards to take carmen and shaun down the hall to the empty chamber  abd she also declared that carmen and  shaune where to stay in the  palace perminantly and clara was  going to be there  guardian.  Clara called  joanna to her chambers and told her to sit on the sofa  in the room  clara then told joanna about what carmen said and asked joanna if what happend to carmen happend to her  joanna nodded and her tears fell clara then hugged  joanna and asked her
"Would you like to become  carmen and  shauns mum  since you have been caring for them since both there parents died"

joanna just looked like her dream came true and then her face fell
" yes your highness i would love to become carmen and shauns mother but i dont earn very much at the gentlemans club so that i can support a family  for becomung the children mother i need a husband  who can earn the amount needed to support  a family but no man will be intrested  in me after what i have been through"

I listened  to her point in great detail and  then i  told her

"What if i let you stay  in the palace with carmen and shaun for life and once you design  the chamber decoration that your gonna be living in if i like it i will make you my own interior designer  what do you think and then you won't even have to worry about a husband earnig for you i will pay you nicely and with the salary you can educate carmen and shaun  you wont have to pay for food you will eat freely all you have to worry about is the diffrent clothes and dresses and suits  ypur going have to have made for yourself carmen and shaun "

The women who was very mouthy now had nothing to say she was speechless when joanna finally  got  back to realitty she jumped for joy and agreed that within a day she would have that chamber ready for me to see i nodded  in approval.
