twenty-five years, she was finally able to set eyes on her mother. Much less that, her mother was
obviously not human.
Taking the opportunity to glare down at Edward, Stasia said with a snort, See I told you not
to fuck with family. Stasia turned around to face the Kremara again. Shielding her eyes from the
bright light, Stasia could barely make out a resemblance.
That s because while you have my hair and figure, you have your father s features.
Had she talked out loud again?
No my dear, I am a god, I can read your thoughts as they come. You are not immortal yet,
so it is hard to block me out, and even then, not many can. But, I believe you will be able.
Well if you can read my thought so well, why don t you dim the light show, you re killing
my eyes. Her voice dripped with sarcasm.
All eyes lifted to her. Apparently, you do not talk to a goddess like that. Gulping loudly
Stasia took a step closer to Mathis.
Laughing as the halo of light disappeared around her. Do not fear me daughter. I would
never harm you.
Yeah? Well, I will have to take your word for it, since this is the first time I ve set eyes on
you. She couldn t quite hide the slight anger in her voice.
The Thrice Princess 35
There was too much pain in her heart from all the years spent wondering why she d been
abandoned, to give in to the joy of finding her mother. Maybe in time, but it would take awhile.
Kremara, obviously reading her thoughts sighed, and turned to address the vampire king.
You may all rise. Edward, tell your guards to stand down.
Promptly her orders were followed.
I also need you to invite Merdon into your home. We have business to attend to.
Yes, your grace. Merdon, I herby receive you into my home. Edward did not look happy
while delivering that little speech, but did not argue.
That is because I am the goddess to their people my dear. They worship me, for I created
them. They do not question for they know, I would never cause them harm. I protect and keep
them whole.
Who is Merdon?
That would be me. And, the answer is your father.
Spinning around to see her father s face for the first time, Stasia froze in shock at the sight
of her father. Tall, maybe six and a half feet, with a very muscular build, and dark brown hair
pulled into a ponytail at the nape of his neck. Green eyes, the same shade as hers stared back,
doing their own little navigation.
Well, nice to finally put a face to a person. Seeing how you were both to busy in your lives
to raise me. Bitterness from all the years of living in homes no one should have to endure
bubbled to the surface. So, why all a sudden have you decided to take such an active role?
Kremara and Merdon stared at each other then Merdon met Mathis eyes. After what seemed
like forever, Mathis nodded.
I m going to try to explain the best I can. Mathis stared into her eyes.
Let s hear it.
Mathis glared at her.
Stasia sighed. Sorry.
Nodding in acceptance he continued, Father and I are demons. But we are not just any

demons, we are Trisotalist demons the highest in power. Sort of like the royal family of the
Dark world, making him king and me his heir.
Stasia stared wide-eyed at him. She looked at her father with the same expression. I m still
not getting it?
That makes you a princess of the underworld. Merdon gave her a half smile.
Yes, but that s not all. Your mother is Kremara, the goddess of light. Her brother Krutis, is
the god of the moon. Together they rule the Light world. Mathis continued.
Which makes me a princess of the Light World, too. Not liking where this conversation
was going, she shifted slightly, starting to get uncomfortable in her own skin.
Yes and you are also mated to a prince of the vampires, which makes you the princess of
the vampire society. Fear and excitement showed in the depths of Mathis eyes as he stared into
hers. Your fate, with his mark, has been set into motion.
There were collective gasps in the room. All eyes were on her showing various emotions,
