Jamari’s POV

A 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

    Jamari’s POV“Are we really thinking about unlocking the Fae Realm?” Lucifer asks. A look of concern appears on his handsome face as he looks into my eyes for confirmation. I shift uncomfortably in my seat for a moment, not ready to admit that tha is exactly where my brain has headed since hearing Ice’s message from Rin. Levi looks at me with interest, a knowing look on his face as he waits for me to voice my thoughts out loud. It is curious that Lucifer was able to discern what I was thinking just by the information we relayed to him about Ice and what has happened in the Unseelie Court. Lucifer runs his fingers through his hair in frustration as he mutters under his breath. “Of course that is what we are thinking about doing.” His voice raises in volumn as he turns to look at me squarely in the face. “In case you did not know, Prince Kieran is the one with the ambitions to take over all of the Realms.”“Ppprince Kieran…” Eve’s stuttering voice draws everyones attention to the door

    Jamari’s POVClotho and her sister’s eyes continue to glow during a very tense couple of minutes of silence. Or in two of their cases, their empy eye sockets are what glows eerily. We all sit quietly as we wait for the Fates to return from whatever trance like state they have been in for the last few minutes. Clotho’s hand suddenly shotts out and grabs my leg, sending my body backwards as my body tenses from the impact of her touch. My vision becomes hazy, a white light appearing where my vision should be. Images start to become visible inside of the blinding white light that has taken away my vision of what is happening in the drawing room we are all sitting within. The white light slowly starts to fade from my vision as a bloody battle field begins to materialize before my eyes. Glancing down, I look over my outstretched arms, surprised to find that it appears as if I am actually standing in the middle of this battlefield. My body tenses slightly as someone appears to my right. L

    Jamari’s POVLevi’s head snaps away from the gaping hole in his chest and over to where Atropos stands a few feet away from us, his eyes widening. “You mean to say that I am going to die from being impaled by that asshole Ares?” A scowl appears on Levi’s face. The more Levi seems to think about his impending death, the more the scowl deepens on his features.“Why does it have to be that asshole that does me in?”A humorless chuckle rumbles up from my chest, the sight of Levi standing before me with a huge hole in the middle of his chest becoming too much for me to handle. The added nonsense of Levi focusing on the instrument of his demise instead of the fact that he could be impaled to death in the forseeable future. “What is so funny, Red?” Levi asks, his brow rising on his face as he looks at me in question. My laughter dies instantly at Levi’s question, my eyes narrowing slightly as I look at him. “Nothing is funny Levi! Absolutely NOTHING!!” My chest heaves with each word that I

Lachesis, doesn’t answer, just shakes her head in the negative before turning away from me and returning to her sister’s side. Levi looks between the two of us with his brow raised in question, his hand still absently rubbing along the newly formed skin on his chest. His body suddenly stiffens in place as a loud booming sound resonates around the dark clearing. A bright light flashes through the dark sky, lighting up the clearing in front of us and revealing the hundreds of hidden forms that were hidden within the darkness. Before I can focus on what is happening in front of me for too long, creatures begin to appear around us, zooming past us at lightning speed. A creature straight out of Greek mythology suddenly blasts through my body as if I wasn’t even there, the sight of its horn

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

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 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.

    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

  • Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate   Chapter 134- Not So Foolish Queen

    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
