Rose’s POV

A small ember of hope comes alive in my heart. I so desperately want it to be true, but I don’t dare allow myself to dream it. Phoenix was asking about granny Gwynn and her stories, and Wolfie wants to talk about the guys, me and granny. Could it be that what I thought were dreams are actually true? When I thought granny was a witch, it wasn’t my childish imagination playing games.

That haunting voice I hear on and off, like a fading echo, could be more than just my imagination or my mind playing tricks on me. I could be going crazy. It would be understandable if I was losing my grip on reality, wouldn’t it? After all, that kind of stuff is hereditary, isn’t it? And granny was kind of loopy before she died.

“Bro, Flower.” Jackson greets Phoenix and I and ruffles my hair affectionately just like he used to when I was a kid, as Phoenix deposits me on a stool at the breakfast bar. None of them have called me flower since… jeez, I must have been thirteen or fourteen. I didn’t

    Phoenix’ POVMy brothers and I mind link about a plan to take Rose to get the rest of her stuff, as we pick over the last bits of dinner. I don’t want to bring up Antonellia in front of her and unless she mentions him. She won’t have any idea what happens to him when we get our hands on him. Actually, even if she asks, I won’t tell her anything other than he has been dealt with. I can’t wait for that day.‘Let’s get on with it then.’ My wolf is impatient to get down to business.“Let’s go and get comfy. My wolf wants to talk.” I lift Rose off her stool and she wraps her arms around my neck as I and carry her over to the sofa, my brothers all fallow behind us, keen to get some answers.I fuss for a minute, plumping Rose’s pillow, making sure she is tucked in with a blanket and her drink is easily within reach. When I notice my brothers all giving me shit eating grins and shaking their heads, I realise just how much has changed in the last couple of days.I am so far gone for this woman

    Rose’s POV“How does he know? Is he sure? Why wouldn’t she tell me? No. I would know if granny was a witch. I lived with her, I would have seen…. Signs.” I can’t process this. It was obviously Wolfie who dropped the bombshell. Phoenix’ eyes are almost fully molten gold, and I’ve been able to feel his presence ever since Phoenix pulled me into his lap.I did see signs though, didn’t I? I saw candles flicker to life on the other side of the room. I saw her chanting and singing as she made her tea blends and ground herbs and spices to make healing balms and elixirs. She told me she was just cooking and making old wives remedies for her friends, and that I was imaging the candles. But the night I really started to think she might be a real live witch was the night I heard my mother’s voice.I was in bed, and it was late. I should have been asleep hours ago, but I just couldn’t settle. Then I heard it. Mums laugh, loud and clear as day. I sneaked out of my room and onto the landing and pe

    Phoenix’ POVRose jumps off my lap and runs to the kitchen sink with her hand over her mouth. Shit. I catch up in a few strides and gather her hair at the nape of her neck as she retches into the basin. I probably shouldn’t have mentioned her parents as casually as I did. We have had our suspicions for years, this is all new information to her.We know Gwynn suspected foul play, but I’m not surprised she kept her thoughts to herself even as Rose got older. I did think she might have said something to her after she turned sixteen, or maybe even on her death bed. She spent so long trying to get justice for her daughter, I thought she might have passed the torch so to speak.When the retching stops, I pass Rose a clean towel, then run another under cold water, wring it out and lie it on the back of her neck.“I’m sorry baby. I thought your Granny might have mentioned something before she passed away.” I rub her back in small circles as she takes sips from a glass of cold water.“She did.

    Rose’s POVThe trip to go and get the rest of my stuff turned into a family affair. Phoenix led me up to the ground floor garage and the guys were all piling into a stunning dark green, seven-seater SUV. In the few seconds it took for Phoenix hustle me into the front passenger seat and clip me in with the seat belt, I got a look at about six other vehicles and several massive, padlocked chests. There is definitely a lot more to these guys than meets the eye. I kind of want to ask Phoenix what exactly they do. But I’m not sure I want to know the answer, so I keep my mouth shut. This car is unlike anything I could have imagined and stands out from the others. Almost the entire roof is a tinted window, and all the other windows are tinted too. There are warm white lights glowing around the foot wells and in the doors. A tablet stands out on an adjustable arm in front of me and there are several images on screen showing the shed which leads to the bunker, a pair of gates, and cameras a

    Phoenix’ POV Those motherfuckers have a death wish.They must think we are still home, as it would be much easier for them to pick us off here than at our bunker. At least that means we should be in the clear for now, unless they have rigged up some kind of surveillance since the twins were here earlier.“What? Are they going to be able to get in?” panic seeps into Rose’s voice as she watches the screen. “No baby. They could blow a crater in the ground and still not breach the bunker. But we won’t be going back there for a little while. It appears that bastard knows more than we gave him credit for.” I mind link the guys to let them know what’s happening and all four of them come to the car to escort Rose inside, surrounding her for all twenty feet to the front door. Antonellia will not even lay his eyes on her again if I have anything to say about it.“Grab everything, we won’t be back anytime soon and I can’t guarantee they won’t blitz the place when shit doesn’t go their way.”

    Rose’s POV I wake up to the squeal of tyres screeching and my whole body being thrown up against the car door. My head hits the window with an almighty smack, and bounces back, snapping forwards as everything suddenly stops moving.Loud bangs go off so close by they make my ears ring and the metallic tang of blood lingers in the air around me. “Rose. ROSE... open your eyes baby, come on... that’s it. You’re okay love. Can you feel this?” Phoenix pinches my finger.“Yeah, owwww, what the hell was that for?” I grumble. My head feels like it might split in two and the whole right side of my body feels heavy and bruised.“Can you wiggle your toes?” he doesn’t answer my question, just keeps firing questions at me.I wriggle my toes and realise I’m not wearing my shoes. “Yeah. What happened?” I reach up to touch where my head hurts, but Phoenix takes hold of my wrist and folds my arm over my chest.“We had a run in with Antonellia’s goons. The car is a bit dinged up, but none of them wal

    Phoenix’ POV Rose manages to eat most of her burger and fries and polishes off her milkshake before she dozes off again. For humans, sleeping after a head injury isn’t the best idea, but not for the first time in the last few days, I agree with my beast, she must have a wolf locked away somewhere inside her. The more she sleeps, the more she heals, like her unconscious mind allows her wolf some freedom to do its thing.The rest of us demolish two burgers each, fries and shakes and my body makes the most of the much needed fuel. The wound in my arm is almost healed and going through that annoying itchy stage, and Ryders leg is getting there too. That fucker sent three cars full of his men after us. Fifteen of them, all armed to the teeth, and they didn’t go down without a fight. For a hot second I wasn’t sure if we would all make it out of there. Thankfully the crash knocked Rose out. Fucked up as it sounds, I didn’t want the first time she met my beast to be after watching him tear

    Rose’s POV The boat is bigger than I thought, and I have to breathe through my mouth or risk gagging on the smell of fish. Breathing through my mouth isn’t fool proof though, I can taste the fishiness, and between that and the rocking motion, I bet I look green around the gills.“There it is.” Braydon points to a dark shape in the fog with a beaming grin.I turn my head away from Phoenix’ chest, where I’ve been hiding, and watch as the vague shape morphs into a chunk of land rising up out of the water. I had been picturing a sandy beach, maybe some palm trees, like you see on T.V. Nooooo.... this is definitely not that. What I’m looking at is about as far from the picturesque image in my head as you could possibly get. The island we are heading right for looks like something out of one of those creepy movies, where a bunch of idiot teenagers with no sense of self preservation go for a laugh in it turns into a nightmare.Okay so I might be a bit melodramatic. It is getting dark, and

    Rose’s POV My arms and legs feel like they are floating, and the only thing holding me down is Trax’ chest pressed against mine.I must have stopped Phoenix from coming at least four times already, I have lost count, but every time he gets close that feeling travels down our bond and into me, adding to the giant ball of frustration, pleasure, and pain that is building in the pit of my stomach “Hold on to me, little one. Don’t forget what I told you.” Trax dips his head, and I feel the points of his tongue probe and lick my neck and shoulder. My fingers dig into his hard biceps and my legs twitch and spasm as he reaches between us to pinch and rub my clit.Oh. My. God. His pelvis slams into mine as he jack hammers into me at a relentless pace. My pussy convulses around him and I feel my release as hot jet after jet of my orgasm is forced from me by his aggressive claiming of my body. His razor sharp teeth sink into my skin and the sting spreads over my shoulder and down my arm.“Oh

    Trax’ POV This escalated quickly, and despite years of practising self-control, I could not resist the otherworldly urge to take and claim what I know is mine.I promised Amarragh faithfully that I would not take things any further than teaching Rose about visualisation and elemental manipulation, yet here we are. The very same night he leaves, and I have been balls, wrist, and tail deep in one or both of them and am fixing to mark Rose as mine.He is going to lose his shit when he comes back and finds my mark on her beautiful neck. I only hope the fact that I haven’t spilled his secret might save my arse. If I had told them everything without him being here to clarify exactly what his role in everything is, he would most definitely flay me alive.Rose is the sweetest reward for a life half lived, and Phoenix is an unexpected bonus who makes this whole dynamic much more interesting. Amarragh tried to make me understand the appeal of losing yourself in another, of pulling the pleasure

    Rose’s POV “Oh fuck.” How the hell does his cock stretch me more and feel like it reaches deeper than his entire balled up fist? I didn’t get the chance to actually see his cock before he impaled me with it, and make no mistake, that is exactly what he did. I thought he was lifting me up to put me on the floor so I could gather my senses. So when he pulled me onto his cock and thrust himself inside me, it knocked the wind right out of me.Trax feels nothing like Phoenix. Not better, not worse, but totally different. “Close your eyes little girl.” He has taken to calling me that, and it doesn’t give me the ick like I expected. I feel looked after, cherished and special. I know that sounds mad considering what he is doing to my body, but I can feel the care with which he touches and moves me. Everything he and Phoenix do is for my pleasure and even though I may complain and beg, I feel more alive at their mercy than I ever have before.His dirty talk is something else. Phoenix revere

    Phoenix’ POV continued Rose’s flat tongue licks the bead of precum hanging from the tip of my painfully engorged cock. Trax doesn’t lay a single hand on me but the tip of his tail prods and probes at my back door. Instead he uses two fingers on one hand to spread Rose’s pussy wide open, then forces four fingers inside her, making her gasp and groan as she sucks the head of my cock into her mouth, never moving her hands from where Trax placed them.“We will need to work on your pain tolerance and loosening you up if you are going to take my fist and my cock little girl.” He fucks his fingers deeper and I watch on as she looks up at me with tears in her eyes. She doesn’t want him to stop, she wants what he promised. She wants to give him the control and ownership of her body that he craves, just like she so willingly gives herself to me.“Yes.” She gulps and returns to sucking me, the tip of her tongue probes at my hole, coaxing more precum to leak out for her to lap up.“And when we

    Phoenix’ POV I don’t know if Rose has cottoned on to the fact that we have a mind link with Trax. She is only just getting the hang of using it with me and my brothers, so for now I think I will use her ignorance to my advantage.‘Don’t do it yet. Make her beg and plead. She does it so well and she will enjoy it more the longer we make her wait for it.’ I speak into the demon’s mind and let him know how to get the best out of her. The thought of him penetrating her, and her begging him for it... has my blood up, and not in the murderous way I expected. ‘She smells too good. How do you ever put her down?’ his eyes darken to pure pitch black as he looks up at me with the same hunger I feel. He is well on his way to joining me in my addiction and I’ll be fucked if I don’t love the idea of dragging him under with me.“I need to taste you first little one. May I...?” he asks permission again, taking his promise literally. I would tell him he doesn’t need to ask before every touch, but I

    Rose’s POV “And you. What do you have to say about all of this?” My tongue feels like it’s coated in sand, and my head is spinning with everything Phoenix had to say. Two mates. How can I have two mates? And one is a demon. It’s like a bad joke. I was only just getting used to Phoenix and his needs, having someone else in my head and feeling their emotions. The weight of his love is a burden I happily bear, but the thought of disappointing or not being enough for two mates... that is a lot to carry.“I have had longer to accept what the universe has in store for me. More than one clairvoyant has seen multiple mates in my future. Your own many times great grandmother hinted that my destiny was tied to the Llewellyn line.” Trax looks at Phoenix and I with sympathy. The inner conflict we are both dealing with is obvious and I can sense Phoenix’ reluctance to act on anything that might make me doubt him or his devotion to me, just as I don’t want to hurt him or Augustus.“Let us take thi

    Phoenix’ POV The air seems to move around us as Trax guides Rose through visualising the heat from the fire. Augustus is front and centre, watching through my eyes with curiosity about more than our mate’s magic. He is watching Trax just as much as I am. ‘It is not unheard of you know.’ His voice in my mind holds a hint of disbelief. ‘Just outdated and not spoken of anymore.’‘What isn’t unheard of?’ I ask, distracted by the sensation of the demon’s hands on Rose. I can feel the warmth being absorbed by my skin as if they are on my own shoulders, and the fact that I don’t hate it is fucking with my head.‘More than one mate. I haven’t heard of it happening in generations, but mixed, and multiple mates used to be common many, many moons ago. It was only after the wars, when the population of each race was so depleted, that mate bonds only formed within the same race. I think Rose is special. More than special as our mate. I believe her destiny is to bring all of the races together ag

    Rose’s POV As I watched Amarragh and Jackson carry the wrapped body of one of Antonellia’s men down the rickety steps and onto the waiting boat, I expected to feel something. Fear. Disgust, that one of the men I trust with my life could take a life just as easily. I always knew they were killers, but knowing and seeing are two different things.Is it bad that I only felt relieved? Am I losing my grip on my humanity? My parents were killed, but they weren’t the only ones who suffered. Did that man have a family who loved and missed him?He was a product of a failed experiment by the agency, and his death only made the world safer. The men Jackson and Amarragh would kill over the next couple of days are all fruit of the same poisonous tree. “What’s on your mind, precious?” Phoenix sits beside me on a cushion in front of the fireplace. “I was thinking about the families of the people the Agency stole. Your family. The rest of the guys. Do you ever think about trying to find them?” I

    Phoenix’ POV“An incubus. As in incubus and succubus? The demons who... who...” Rose can’t finish the sentence, so I finish it for her.“Fuck humans whilst they sleep.” The words taste bitter on my tongue. Demon or not, rape is rape. That is what the legends say. They prey on innocent, sleeping, defenceless humans.“Trax has never acted on that instinct. I’m not even sure he has it. I have never felt or sensed any sexual urges from him, only curiosity, at least not until...” Amarragh jumps in to defend the demon, but his words run away with him.“Until he heard us?” Rose finishes for him.“I didn’t mean to spy. I heard you first and the way you sounded made me feel different, high, like my body was lighter. Then the scent hit me, sweet and salty, it was so thick and heavy in the air... it overwhelmed me. Before I knew what was happening I stepped over the protective boundary, cloaked myself, and my feet carried me right to you. I... I always wondered what my father found so appealing,
