《The Throne》38

"Good morning My Love." I say when I see Christen laying awake in our bed.
I just got done showering
"Morning Anna." Christen says in her sexy as fuck morning voice.
"How are you feeling?"
"Well my whole body is sore, but my eyes have won the lottery."
"You've seen me naked before."
"Yeah but it just still amazes me that I'll wake up to this sight for the rest of my life." Christen says.
I walk over to our bed as Christen sits up and I get in behind her. Once I get into bed I lean on the headboard and then Christen puts her back to my front. We sit there in comfortable silence as I trace shapes on to my fiancée's toned stomach.
"Anna?" Christen says breaking the silence
"Yes?"
"Are you sure?"
"Am I sure of what?
"Renouncing your claim?"
"Christen look at me please?"I ask.
Christen flips over and straddles me which causes my hands to rest on her thighs.
"Christen Annemarie Press I have never been more sure of something in my entire life. You are the woman I want to wake up to ever morning, the woman I want to fall asleep cuddling ever night, the woman I want to have kids with, and the woman I want to grow old with."
"If you wanted to fuck again you just had to ask." Christen says and wipes some tears from her eyes
"You know I wouldn't mind you taking charge again." I say
"Funny. I wouldn't mind it either."
I lean in to kiss my fiancée when we are interrupted.
"LOVEBIRDS OPEN UP WE HAVE BREAKFAST." Megan says.
"Ugh dammit." I say then peck Christen's lips.
Christen and I throw on robes then I unlock the door letting Megan and Kate in.
"Hello my sister-in-laws." I say.
"We brought breakfast." Kate says.
"Cool."
"Hi Christen." Megan says.
"Hi Megan...Hi Kate." Christen says and hugs them.
I'm glad they've gotten close.
"How was everything after I left?" I ask.

"Tense." Megan says.
"Yeah...Lets just say our husbands were not very happy people." Kate says.
"Understandable."
"How was you two's night?" Kate asks.
"Eventful." Christen says.
"Needed." I say.
There is then silence as we eat and it's a little uncomfortable.
"We'll see you two at the meeting." Kate says then the two of them leave.
Christen and I finish eating then take a shower together then get dressed. After we get dressed we walk to the family room and we are the first one's there.
We sit down on a love seat and wait for the rest of the family.
"Just remember I love you and nothing they say will change my mind." I say and kiss Christen's temple
Christen kisses my cheek then leans her head on my shoulder.
"I love you too." Christen whispers just as everyone else files in and sits down.
"Morning Anna...Morning Christen." Harry says.
"Morning." We say back.
"Anna have you made your decision?" The queen asks.
"I have."
"And?" Father says.
I grab Christen's left hand and hold it out to the room.
"I'm marrying Christen." I say.
I look over at my brother's and their wives and they all have smiles on their face.
"Congratulations Sis." William says.
"Thank you."
"I'm disappointed in you Anna." The Queen says.
"And I'm disappointed in you."
"You have to see where we are coming from." Camilla says.
"Oh shut up home wrecker." I say.
"ANNA."Father shouts.
"Fuck. You." I say and stare at him. "You married mum because the Queen pressured you into it and I am grateful for it because I have two amazing brother's and I met my future wife because of my status. I, however, will not make the same mistake as you and ruin a family. You cheating on mum ruined this family and I won't put anybody else through that...Now Christen and I are going to go plan our wedding and as of now only four of you are getting invited to the wedding."

Christen said she wants to plan the wedding with her national team friends and what my princess wants she gets. We're also both busy the next few months and won't have time to start planning so we want to get it started sooner rather than later.
We discussed a lot of stuff at breakfast.
"What do you mean?" Father asks.
"You hit me." I say. "You slapped me so hard that when I hit the concert I broke my nose and a bone in my cheek."
"You did what?" Camilla asks as Christen and I stand up.
"Why the fuck would I want my abusive father at my wedding?" I rhetorically ask. "I am ashamed that we share the same blood."
Christen and I walk out of the room and head to the car and drive to her hotel.
"I know that was a serious conversation, but you looked hot as fuck." Christen says causing me to laugh.
"Thanks Princess." I say as we pull up to the hotel.
We get out of the car and head up to the floor Christen is staying on.
"What room is Ali in?" I ask when we get on their floor.
"932." Christen says.
"Okay I'll meet you outside your room." I say then peck her lips and head to the coaches room.
Once there I knock on the door.
"Yes...oh hi Anna." Ali says.
"Hi. Do you have a minute?"
"Sure." The coach says and opens the door wider allowing me to come in. "So what's up?"
"I just wanted to apologize for keeping Christen overnight. Something occurred last night and I just really needed her with me."
"I fully understand." Ali says.
"I guess I'll see you at lunch?" I question.
"You will." Ali says and hugs me.
After our hug I leave the room and meet Christen outside her room then we head down to the team meal/meeting room. Christen and I get our food then we sit down with her teammates to eat and plan our wedding.
"Your ring is so beautiful." Alex says.
"Yeah where'd you get it?" Mal asks as a lot of the girls look at it.
"My Mum gave it to me to give to my wife when I was 11" I say.
"So where are you two getting married?" Moe asks.
"A place in England." I say.
"Wedding party?" Julie asks.
"My sister's." Christen says.
"My brother's." I say.
"Bridesmaids dresses color?"Ali asks.
"We haven't decided yet." Christen says.
"Um Christen." I say.
"Yes baby?"
"Could the dresses be pink please?"
"I love that idea." Christen says.
"Cool." I say with a small smile and everyone looks at me.
"Why Pink?" Alex says.
"It was my Mum's favorite color."
"There is a lot of stuff about your Mom, but not a lot about the rest of your family." Kelley says.
"There is a good reason for that." I say.
"And that is?" Becky asks.
I look at Christen and she nods telling me to tell the team.
"Tomorrow morning you will awaken to news that I have renounced my claim to the throne." I say and most of the girls jaw's drop.
"What? Why?" Ash asks.
"The Queen gave me an ultimatum. Either break up with Christen and ruin my chance at marrying the love of my life or give up my claim to the throne. Obviously I chose to marry Christen." I say and squeeze Christen's hand.
"No offense Christen, but why?" Kelley asks.
"Mum always told me to only do what your heart tells you and my heart told me to marry the woman of my dreams."
"What are you going to do about last names?" Alex asks.
"We haven't decided." Christen says.
"We're between either Spencer or Press." I say.
"Wait where are you going to live?" Tobin asks.
"We have a place here in London." I say. "And Christen and I have plans to look at houses in California."

The Adventures of Alan
What happens when a university professor somehow ends up in another world, where magic bends the laws of nature? Alan is, albeit unwillingly, about to find out. As a professor of physics, he has a decent understanding of how the world works, or so he likes to think. Armed only with his knowledge, Alan is thrown into a world very different from his own. In his new reality, he will meet both friends and foe, he will seek knowledge, he will build power, and perhaps he will even find love again? Follow Alan through his adventures, and find out for yourselves how he deals with the challenges thrown at him by a new world, while struggling with the issues brought with him from his old one. * Author’s note: A fair warning. This is the first time I’ve published anything, and basically the first time I’ve written anything more than mandatory school-stuff. The story will probably have inconsistencies, grammatical errors (not my native tongue, though that excuse is getting old), and potentially confusing (missing?) plot. I will naturally do my best to write something worth reading, but my main goal in writing this story is to have fun and explore the limits of my own creativity. My hope in publishing it here, is that I’ll reach someone who enjoy the story, and can push me forward towards writing more, as it is difficult at times to find the motivation to write just for myself. Additionally, I can’t really promise to have regular updates, as I have a full-time job that often likes to take the ‘full-time’ part literally, and a sporadic social life that occasionally surprises me (happy surprises mostly, so I shouldn’t complain). I’ll aim for once a week to start with, and take it from there. Happy reading! Cover photo by Jeff Hire (/photographer/gun4hire-58415), from https://freeimages.com/.

Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!

The Dungeon's Escapee
An Earthling, a Summer Elf, and the only male Phoenix in existence walk into a Dungeon... Okay, maybe they don't really do it so much for glory but rather because it's their job, and maybe they weren't really together, and some of them were actually walking out. Enter the world of Cespes, a land of magic, mystery, and monsters. Now, the Ancient Gods have gone silent even as magic enters the Golden Era. The Avish Empire might have fallen four thousand years ago, yet much of society remains fragmented, even as they share more cultural ties than ever before. Adventurers have always formed parties. Now, there are Dungeons, dark, grey blobs that dominate Kingdom maps and kill everything within sight. Yet, beyond even these obvious places of danger entwined with fortune, a forgotten evil rears its head after fermenting for millennia. A call for heroes has arrived. Warning: This story is written in the first and third person with multiple POVs. I will try to publish at least once every two weeks, if not more. Cover art by: [email protected]

The beginning chapters are a bit slow, but if you can get past that, there is a chance you'll love it. Happy Reading.
