Chapter 8 – A Rogue with Purpose
JwgstoutLate post today. Sorry. Let me know what you think of Oliver's POV. Will Lamia let him out? Will he be able to serve a different purpose after all these years and does he mean what he says? I hope you like the chapter, more to come tomorrow.

KELLEN“I still don’t trust a darn thing that comes out of his mouth. He’s a lying conniving murderer.” I could say so much more but bite my tongue, only because I’m fed up with thinking about the rogue criminal.I hoped to the goddess Lamia wouldn’t entertain any thoughts of letting him lose. If it wasn’t for Tala, I would be in the mind to throttle the fucker and then rip his head off myself.Memories of my parents come to the forefront of my mind as I wander back to the main part of the castle lagging behind the group. The sight of my father dying on his bed as the serum took over his body plagued me. It always had.The break in my connection to him was still fresh as the day it happened when I drove that dagger into his heart. Instead of sadness, as it had been in the past, raw anger began to trickle out. I clenched my fists trying to quell it down.But why should I? Why should I harbor my feelings and keep them locked up when the New Moon Kingdom was still waiting for justice over

LAMIATawny hands me a drink and in exchange takes Seneca from my lap and begins to fuss over her, muttering something along the lines of how boys were more trouble.From what I have learned of her twin boys, they were definitely trouble. With a capital T. Though, she explained how Gillian and Tristan handle them and their antics well.My thoughts wander to the triplets, drowning out Lyric as she explains her communication devices and how they have been issued to all New Moon warriors that have been sent to Bhakhil.Three years or a thousand years was a long time no matter which. I wanted nothing more than to go home to Riocht and see my babies. Amali was probably giving her brothers trouble by now and I couldn’t think how Zachary and Maximus had grown and how big they were.Part of me felt foreign to my own children, nervous and scared that they wouldn’t know me. I don’t think I could take it if they shied away from me when I finally saw them.Would they accept their sister? Have they

KELLENAccidentally hitting Tala and hurting her, knocked some sense into me.With languid strides, I find myself in the Northside gardens. The furthest place away from mine and Tala’s room. But not too far.Slumping onto a bench that faces the tree line of thick forest, I cover my face with my hands. The imagery of what just happened replayed in my head.I feel a push on at the front of my brain and half expect to receive a mind link. But nothing comes. I realize it’s Lamia searching me out. She could feel my emotions. Instead of blocking her, I let her probe away. I wanted her to feel the shame and guilt that was running amuck inside me.In a sick sadistic way, I hoped she would come find me and kick my ass. Or at least send Mathias to do the job. I deserved it.Groaning out loud at my stupidity and leaning back, dragging my palms down my face, I remember exactly what set me off in the first place.Fucking Oliver. I loathed that piece of shit. The very thought of him had my nerves sp

LAMIAThe following morning Tawny left with Crimson and Mason to go back to Cambiador. MacTire was beginning to thin out. Finn was going to head back to the Clan Mansion, Soon Mike, Kellen, Tala, and Lyric would go back to New Moon.It was too short a time with everyone.We were going to meet back up in New Moon in less than three weeks, but it wasn’t going to be fun, we were preparing for war. Until then I had a lot to think about.Last night the girls filled me in on so much that I missed it. Part of me was happy that I had had those years with Kellen away from it all. The other part was saddened that they went through everything on their own.I had taken the opportunity to see Prince Connor. Holding him only made me miss my triplets even more.As I walked from the dining room, going back to my suite, I walked past Travis’s office, the door was ajar and stopped when I heard his voice. He was speaking low and I couldn’t tell if he was using a phone or had someone in there.Just as I w

KELLENTala was already asleep by the time I made it back to our room last night. So, I never got to apologize or plead for her to forgive me.I tossed and turned all night, wanting to wrap my arms around her but didn’t dare touch her without her permission. I didn’t know if she wanted me to, or if she hated me for what I said and did.This was unchartered territory for me. The beastly side wanted to ravage and claim her, the sensible part was timid and shy. The indecision of how to act was like a plague on my mind.At some point, I did manage to sleep and woke to the sound of the shower running. The spot beside me was already cold, the shame of my actions surfacing once again and the thought that Tala was in such a hurry to get away from me crossed my mind.Swinging my feet over the side, I stand with purpose. I needed to apologize, hoping she would forgive me, and claim my mate back.Striding to the bathroom, slowly I open the door. Steam poured from behind the glass. The silhouette

LAMIAI pull at the tight pants that seem to want to ride up my ass. How did I ever wear these before? They were so uncomfortable. I was still getting used to the feel of this much clothing on my skin again. My body and senses were still adjusting to the vibration of this realm. The reason Mathias and I had come to the training grounds.Mathias wanted to see my reaction time when fighting. He was concerned and curious about my differences.I chuckle when Mathias casually lifts a hand, picking strands of hair that lay on my shoulder and tugging on them. “What?” I asked jokingly, giving him a side-eye.“Nothing. It's just strange that your hair is completely black now. But I’m digging it.” He gives me a broad smile and winks.“Yeah, you like pulling these dark locks when you straddle me from behind, King?” I joke back with a little innuendo, replaying our night.Since we bonded again, we haven’t been able to keep our hands off each other. This was always the case but this time, it's so m

MATHIASI put in a call to Marcus. Not just for Lamia’s sake but also for Kellen’s. I actually called Vivian to begin with as it perplexed me that Lamia didn’t want to see the triplets or go back to Riocht before we traveled to Asiarian.Little did I know Hunji had also spoken to Marcus and voiced his concerns too.My mate's mother settled my mind but divulged her own concerns at the same time. She knew her daughter best and as much as she wanted her daughter home and to meet her new grandchildren, she recalled how much Lamia was like her father.This is why Marcus came. He was her voice of reason.Lamia loved her mother, but she looked up to Marcus, and in return, Marcus doted on her, he also recognized her strengths and weaknesses and reminded her of who she truly was when she lost sight of direction. If she and Kellen were going to listen to anyone it would be her parents, mostly her father or Mike's parents.Marcus walks Lamia and Kellen out of the training ring, my mate hanging on

LAMIASeeing my father was bittersweet. He brought pictures of the triplets which had tears brimming in my eyes. Zachary and Maximus were so big already and Amali was the spitting image of me.Oh, how I missed them so much.Seeing the images of my pups almost broke me and had me wanting to pack and go back to Riocht immediately but I couldn’t. It wouldn’t be fair, and I wouldn’t want to leave them again. No, it was better this way.My father doted on Seneca and Connor and even showed Seneca pictures of her older brothers and sister who was eager to meet them. Even Zane came to greet my father, hanging on to his every word and Angelica wouldn’t leave him alone for a moment, she called him grandad too, climbing in his lap alongside Seneca.Kellen and I spent as much time as we could with him. It was good for both of us, especially Kellen as he dove into our time in the other realm and we told him everything, giving him the highlights and explaining our transition while we had been in the
