“Hee hee hee,” she laughed. “We never finished our first date. I plan on seeing this one to the end. I have it all planned out.”
I couldn’t stop her from pulling me out of the station.
Nor could I stop her from dragging me into the largest shopping arcade in the habitat.
I gave up fighting her and my teenage desires. Who the Hell was I kidding? Was I going to be stupid and say ‘No’ to her?
Although I didn’t agree with the saying, ‘love the one you’re with’, I did feel that if I wasn’t careful Simone would indeed sway my heart.
My heart was starting to feel like a compass caught in a magnetic storm. There was a girl on three out of the four points.
Simone Alucard, Prissila Ventiss, and….
My feelings grew confused as I thought about that third girl.
Simone flashed me a beautiful smile and my heart stumbled.
But I thought of another smile – a smile I’d come to see more often these last few days.
A smile I was paying more attention to.
A faint smile.
A smile my heart no longer allowed me to ignore.

Afterword.
Dear readers, my sincerest gratitude for making it this far with the 3rd Revised Edition of the “Pride X Familiar ReVamp” light-novel.
The Kindle Edition.
If you’re here you either loved it or hated it, or you lie somewhere in between.
If you hated it…my most sincere apologies. I promise not to take any more of your time…until the next book…insert sly laughter.
If you liked it…my most sincere gratitude…expect more volumes…insert happy laughter.
If you loved it…you have my utmost gratitude…expect many more volumes…insert raucous laughter.
In order to distinguish this the original version of the storyline, and the previously released “Pride X Familiar” (which is not available on Kindle), I’ve decided to append “ReVamp” to all the books that follow this incarnation of the story.
I would like to take the opportunity to encourage all of you readers who enjoyed the story to spread the word. The more people that learn about it, the more prospective readers, and hopefully it will gain a fan base (as opposed to a hater base).
What can you expect in the sequel, “Pride X Valkyrie ReVamp”?
Well, there’s a new transfer student at Galatea, more love troubles for Caelum, the Countess faces a new rival, and the plot thickens as we learn more about the Fragments and Artifacts, we are better introduced to the Raynar Witch and the people that work for her, and we get to see what a fully manifested Valkyrie Maiden armor can really do.
For now, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for taking the time to read this book, and I promise to deliver many more in the foreseeable future (and I knock on wood three times).
Take care, and best wishes to you all.
Oh, before I forget come visit the blog at www.pridesfamiliarsmaidens.com.
I make it a point to update it regularly with material relevant to the “Pride X ReVamp” series, and the other series currently enjoying self-publication, such as “Princess Royale”.
For now, I bid you adieu.
Cheers and Ciao.
