Jamari’s POV“It appears you have a friend in the Fae Realm, my lady.” My breath hitches in my throat. Could it be Rin? Has he finally found his way out of wherever he has been for the past five years and found his way back to me? My heart rate increases at the possibilities of Rin appearing in my life once again. Levi’s arms tighten around my waist, pulling me in closer so he can whisper in my ear. “You know who it is, sweetheart.” Levi’s words are not a question but I nod my head in answer anyways.My brows scrunch together as a frown appears on my face. “At least I think I do.” I tell him, sharing with him the uncertainty that I am feeling. Levi nuzzles my neck, breathing in deeply before placing a kiss under my ear. Ice’s eyes glaze over, putting us all on edge just in case he goes rabid again and tries to attack me. After a few moments pass by without any incident, Ice’s eyes clear and he looks at me. Kneeling to his right knee, he lowers his head in a half bow and motions for
Jamari’s POV “There you are, darling.” The man lying beside me turns to his left so he can face me fully, his right hand lifts up to run down my cheek, leaving tingles of awareness to dance across my skin. My breath hitches in my throat, my eyes closing to allow my sense of touch to fully appreciate the feel of this man’s touch. “Who are you?” I whisper out, surprised to find my voice come out husky with desire. Heat flushes my cheeks at the realization that just a mere touch of this stranger’s hand is enough to send my blood singing through my veins. A knowing chuckle reverberates up the man’s chest, wrapping around me like a lover’s caress and sending shivers down my spine from the contact. He leans forward slightly, whispering in my ear, “You know who I am.” The feel of his warm breath against my cheek sends heat to pool between my thighs as arousal floods my system. “Rin.” The word is out of my mouth before I can register what my lips are doing. My eyes fling open to study th
Jamari’s POV The sound of my name on Rin’s lips as I run my tongue over his hardened length excites me, sending more heat to pool in my panties and my core to ache for his touch. I wrap my lips around the head of his cock, moving down slowly as my tongue swirls around until I have taken every inch into my open mouth. Rin’s body stiffens beneath me as my lips wrap fully around his cock. His head moves back against the pillows, his fingers digging into the petals beneath us, grabbing on tight as his body jerks from the bobbing of my head. My slow and steady movements become faster and more frantic with the passing of time. A savage growl erupts from Rin’s lips, the glow of his eyes increasing immeasurably. His fingers soon tangle in the locks of my hair, grabbing hold so he can control the movements of my head as I continue to slide my lips and tongue against his rock hard cock. A moan vibrates against his cock from deep in my throat as Rin loses control of whatever beast lies dee
Kieran’s POV“I love you, Jamari.” I whisper along her lips, the words spilling from my mouth before I have a chance to digest the words and the feelings that come along with it. I suddenly jolt awake from the most errotic dream I have ever conjured up. The three most important words I have ever spoken out loud echo through my mind on repeat. I love you. I love you. I love you.My body bolts up right, my eyes scanning around the open room in search of the woman that has consumed my every thought since the moment I met her deep in the dark forest. Finding nothing out of the ordinary, I lay back against the rose petals, letting out a heavy sigh. My fingers move up to pull through my hair as I contemplate whether what just happened was nothing more than a dream or if I somehow pulled her into this place with me and what we experienced really happened. Nothing has ever felt as right as the time that I spent with Jamari in this very bed. My fingers clench together as I reminisce about t
Kieran’s POVMy son’s brows scrunch up together as he looks over my body from head to toe, his eyes wincing when he catches sight of the pieces of burnt flesh that have flaked off and fallen onto the wooden floor. “Who could do something like this?” He asks, motioning to my body with a look of horror on his face. “Zeus.” I croak out the Greek Gods name, causing the color to drain from Blaze’s face, a noticeable difference from his usal pastel coloring. Blaze rises from his kneeling position to my left and begins to pace around the large office nervously. After the third time of him pacing back and forth across my office, he returns to my desk and drops himself into one of the chairs situated on the other side of me. “How did this happen?” He asks, a look of defeat already appearing on his face. I wiggle my hand around slowly, testing out the movement to judge how painful my wounds would feel if I moved my body forward. A wince contorts my face as pain radiates up my arm from the pl
Jamari’s POVA million thoughts circulate inside of my mind as I stare at Levi and Lucern in disbelief. “How is any of that possible?” My eyes begin to frantically move back and forth in their sockets as I try to wrap my head around what my mates just told me. “The last thing I remember is darkness surrounding me and pulling me under.” A frown appears on my brow, causing deep lines to appear at the bridge of my nose. “How could I have kicked Zeus out of the Vampire Realm?”My eyes move up to look into Lucern’s thoughtful face. His arm is resting on the arm of his chair with his right hand gripping his chin tightly. His eyes appear to be unfocused as if he was going over the events that I can’t remember in his head in search of an answer. “Maybe it wasn’t you.” Kenji’s unexpected voice draws my attention away from Lucern and to the doorway that he just entered through. A bright smile graces my face at the sight of my Lycan mate safe and sound after nearly being kidnapped for the dread
Jamari’s POV“So you think you met your Fae mate while you were trapped in the Fae Realm?” Kenji manuevers his body so he is turned slightly and able to face me better while still keeping the others in his line of sight. “Was it a sex dream that you were having, or one of those shared dreams you used to have with Lucern?” Levi asks at the same time that Kenji asks his question. Lucern’s eyes snap to where Levi is seated beside him, his eyes widening slightly, before they turn back to me in question. I squirm in my seat uncomfortably while all sets of eyes stay trained on me, waiting for a response. My brows scrunch together into a frown as I think over Levi’s question. The dream had felt so real that I felt sure it was really happening, but how would that be possible with us being so far away? And why would it not have happened before today? It has been five years since I last saw Rin, and I did not experience any sexual dreams about him during that time. So why now? After all of t
Jamari’s POV“You invited them back here just to throw them in the dungeons!?” I roll my eyes into the back of my head as I glare at Lucern and my other mates for doing something so drastic. “You could have at least locked them in one of the unoccupied wings.” My incredulous glare moves to pin Morgana who shifts uncomfortably in place. “You are more than capable of keeping them locked away in a section of rooms.”Ice chuckles from the cell to my left that he is currently locked inside of. Without saying a word, he suddenly walks through the cell doors, stopping when he reaches a few feet away from me, an amused smile on my face. Kenji releases a warning growl, taking a step forward until he is lined up with my right side. “You mean to tell me you could leave your cell at any moment you pleased?” Lucern growls out, clearly not happy to know that the Dark Hunt Soldiers could have created mass havic inside of his castle walls at any moment they please. Ice shrugs his shoulders in noncha
I have decided to end book 2 where it is. Thank you all for your continued support and positive reviews. I will be starting Book 3, the final book in the series, soon and will have it up by next month. I am currently dealing with a family emergency that might make my planned timeline a little longer than I would like so please bear with me as I plan out how to end Jamari's journey. The next book will introduce the last of Jamari's mates and will bring everything that has happened in the last two books to a head as well. I am so grateful to everyone that has stuck by me throughout this journey and I am anxious to see what is in store for Jamari and her mates. All my love, Heidi Monath
Jamari’s POV‘Did this fake bitch just say what I think she said?’ My body moves before I can register what is happening. The feeling of my body flying through the air as I launch myself towards where Sabina lays on the floor staring up at Lucern with lovesick eyes. ‘I will rip her still beating heart from her chest.’Something grabs hold of my waist before wrapping their strong arms around the slender area and pulls me close to a hard body. Howard’s scent invades my senses as my enraged mind refocuses on what is happening in front of me. A hand moves up to clamp over my lips in a warning to be quiet. When Howard drops me back to the hardwood floors, I swirl around on him in anger and glare at him. He gives me a sheepish look before turning his attention back to Sabina and Lucern. Letting out a huff of anger, I turn myself back to the bitch as well, plotting out her slow demise in my head as I watch.Lucern stares at her quietly, disbelief clear on his handsome cocoa features. His bo
Lucern’s POV“No one is here.” A disappointed look appears on Sabina’s face as we make our way into Howard’s hidden office that only a select few people are able to access. As we look around the large room, we find no one in sight, but I can sense my mate’s scent somewhere in this room, so I know she is here. Before I can call for Jamari to let her know that I can sense her in the room, Sabina suddenly throws herself at me. Her body drapes over mine, sending confusion through my body as she grabs hold of me tightly. The scent of blood fills the room, causing my nostrils to flare as I seek out the scent. Shoving Sabina to the side, I look around the room in search of where the scent of blood could be coming from. Sabina whimpers from behind me, drawing my attention to her direction. Blood flows from her stomach, coating her hands as she presses down on the wound that has blood flowing out of it like a river. My senses go on overdrive as I search the room for the unknown threat that
Jamari’s POV“I have brought you here to offer you a warning.” My body stiffens at Howard’s words as a feeling of dread settles in the pit of my stomach. Howard motions for me to take a seat on one of the couches in the sitting area, a serious look taking over his features as he follows me over and takes a seat on a couch that faces the one that I sat on. “I am not the only one on the council that feels that Lucern has made a mistake by taking you as his Queen.” Howard says, an apologetic look pulling at his features. “That was of course before I realized that you would be an asset to the Vampire Realm.” He says, earning a snort from me in response. “I know that does not mean much now, but I do hope you will give me the chance to earn your trust.” A gentle smile appears on Howard’s face as he looks over at me. Even after everything that has been said and done by him recently, I can feel deep in my bones that Howard is telling the truth and that he means me no harm. And if that wasn
Jamari’s POV“Some might call you foolish for letting Howard off so easily, my lady.” Nodding my head in agreement, I walk out of the door without looking around at the disapproving faces of the rest of Lucern’s council members. I had originally come in search of Lucern to see what had gotten him so upset all of a sudden, I was not expecting to walk into a council meeting that was about me. “She is right, my lady.” The sound of Howard’s unexpected voice pulls me out of my thoughts, startling me slightly as I jump in place, my hand moving up to grasp the base of my throat in order to calm my nerves. An apologetic look appears on Howard’s face as he moves off of the wall that he was reclining on. “I did not mean to startle you, my lady.” Howard stops his forward movement a few feet away from me, nervously moving from foot to foot as an internal struggle appears on his face. “What is it?” I ask him curiously. Something is clearly bothering the old Vampire and with the way things ended
Lucern’s POVSilence moves around the room as everyone thinks over Jamari’s question. Removal from the council has never happened before, not in a situation like this at least. There have been times in history where members were not rechosen for the role of council member, but no one has ever been removed mid-term like Jamari is suggesting. Council members, as well as other subjects, have been sentenced to death for less than what Howard has been accused of. Most rulers do not take too kindly to their subjects speaking ill of themselves or their mates. “You do not wish for Howard’s head, my lady?” Sabina asks, an intrigued look on her face. She leans forward in her seat and places her chin on the back of her joined hands. Her brow lifts in interest as she stares over at Jamari and waits for her response.I lean back in my seat and watch as Jamari squirms in her seat, uncomfortable as ever with being the center of attention. Her gaze moves over my council members until her eyes land
Lucern’s POV “Don’t do something you might regret for me, my King.” Jamari’s whispered words echo around in my head as I struggle to regain control over the bloodlust that had slowly taken control over my actions. It is not often that I allow myself to get so enraged that the bloodlust takes over, it was something that I learned to control at an early age. Adrian steps up to stand beside Jamari, amusement glinting in those eyes of his as he looks between the two of us. Whispers begin to fill the quiet space all around us, Jamari’s presence soothing the fear that had my council members as still as a statue only moments before. Jamari lifts up her right hand and places it on the arm that belongs to the hand that is still currently squeezing the life out of Howard. Disgust takes over my face as I retract my claws from his neck but do not release my hold from around his neck. Within seconds the deep gashes around his neck has healed enough to stop the flow of blood from continuing to
Lucern’s POV“Sire, when are we going to unlock the Vampire Realm? Many of our subjects are complaining about the lack of freedom, and the subjects that are trapped on the outside of the Vampire Realm are starting to get antsy.” The circle of my council of advisors nod their head in agreement at Rudolph’s claim. Count Adrian leans back in his seat, his eyes surveying the older men that sit around us in the conference room that is usually used for conducting business. “Would the people rather we come under attack?” Adrian asks, his brow lifting in challenge. The council at least has the decency to look embarrassed that they had forgotten about the threat. “Has the threat not been subdued?” One of the men speaks up, a glint of mischief blatantly clear in his eyes. Howard is the one council member that I would love to get rid of. He never misses an opportunity to cause issues for me within the Realm and I still have not figured out what his problem is with me. I am the rightful heir t
Jamari’s POV“Are you sure that this is a good idea?” Kenji asks the same question that has been asked a hundred times since I told my mates that we need to get into the Fae Realm. “What if us unlocking the Fae Realm is what sets the events that you saw into motion? We can’t be hasty with our decision making.” Kenji’s words make me pause my speed reading of the spell books that Lucern has available in his massive library. A frown scrunches up the corners of my eyes as my brows draw together in thought. My eyes move up to find Kenji’s worried gaze. “I have to be there for him Kenji.” Sorrow fills my words as I am once again reminded of the scene that I watched play out before my eyes. Lifting my head for the first time in an hour, I look around in search of my Demon King whom I have given strict orders not to leave my side until we know for sure that the vision of him dying in that clearly does not come to pass. “Where is Levi?” I ask, sniffing the air to see if I can catch his scent
