"No, I can't." He chuckled. "But one day, I hope to… retire, I guess is what you call it on earth.""Retire? Is that even possible… you're a god."I was stating the obvious but as I watched his twinkling blue eyes stare at me with so much intensity, my heart wanted to burst from my chest. It wasn't
The moment our feet hit the steps of the building, I couldn't hold back my questions anymore. "Where are we going and why do we need Pollux?"Looking over his shoulder, he sighed again and kept walking. "He has to help with your succession."Door after door, we passed until we stopped outside Pollux
Cassie.Three months. It had been three months since the day I died, and every single day I spent in Asgard in this new form, I realized my life, though was said to be my own, wasn't. I was no longer the Lycan beast I once was. Instead, I was a celestial goddess with powers no one could comprehend.
"We'll see," I replied, watching a stern expression cross her face before she smiled. "When are we supposed to be leaving?""In like ten minutes," she said excitedly. "No need to pack anything, though. It's only for 24 hours, so get your ass up and let's get going. I'm excited to meet my new mother-
"Why does it look like it's been years since we've been here?" I muttered under my breath. Trixie's hand reached out to stop my wrist, which stopped me in my tracks."Did nobody tell you how time worked between those two realms?"It only dawned on me that whatever answer she was about to give me, I
I had dreamed of this day. The day I would end up returning home, and the moment I stepped through the door, the chaos that was my siblings came rushing towards me. They hugged both me and Pollux and even welcomed Trixie with open arms. My mother had grayed over the last two years and was paler than
Shaking her head, my mother refused to listen to what I was saying, and as she stood to her feet, I knew that it was going to be an emotional mess by the time we got done with this conversation."So what? You're different now. What does that mean for your life here—"She seemed to realize what exact
As the sun filtered through the open window of the room I was staying in, I stretched my arms above my head and realized I was lying in bed alone. Glancing around with groggy vision, I realized I was no longer at my parent's home but back in a room in Asgard where I had been before.Bolting from the
“Thank you for taking care of him,” she muttered. Tatum rolled his eyes behind her as if unable to believe perhaps that she was saying what she was. The entire situation caused the heat of embarrassment to rush over my cheeks as I cleared my throat.“It’s no problem…but I’m pretty sure it’s he who
“Excuse me,” a soft voice said from the door catching both of our attention. “I heard that.”Cassie stood before us in a long light-blue gown encrusted with gems. Her long hair was in curls half up on her head as the white silver leafed crown sat glittering on top. She looked so far different that
TaylorWhen Tatum came crawling back into the room somewhere near dawn, I’d been wary of where he had gone. I had awoken to an empty space in the bed next to me, and no word as to where had disappeared. Though, when he had come back and told me that I was to head off to the Fae realm in the morning,
She leaned forward, a thoughtful expression adorning her features. “You know the complexities of the realms, the obligations and duties that bind us. I know you love her and you want her to stay, but things aren't that easy, Tate. We need her there. We need her to help fix things before the girls ri
TatumI hadn’t expected Brina to show up at my door looking for answers. At first I was annoyed that my sister would overstep boundaries in order to make things happen between Brina and me. Of course, I was head over heels for this girl. My heart slowly slipped into a bliss like state of happiness
I didn’t need time to think about what he asked. The answer would always be, “Yes. A thousand times, yes.”Time seemed to stand still as our hunger for each other turned into a fury of torn clothing and touches. His hands roamed my body, gripping and grabbing as I pleaded with him to please me. To
Panic filled me with his question. Yes, I had rehearsed what I was going to say, but now that the moment presented itself I was acting like a fool. My mind was completely blank when it came to the plan I was going to stick to.“Uh, well…I wasn’t sure about the customs of the Fae. I was going to ask
Standing outside Tatum’s door, my heart pounded in my chest. The hallway felt suffocating, the air heavy with anticipation. I had rehearsed the words I wanted to say a hundred times, each time hoping to find the courage to confront the man that had helped me recover who I was. A man who helped me to
Taylor Settling into the plush light-blue armchair in Cassie’s room, I took in the grand splendor of the apartment-like suite around me. The decor spoke of royalty and sophistication, with gilded accents and rich fabrics adorning every surface. The soft glow of candlelight flickered, casting an et
