Davina's P.O.V.
Maelani looks at me in surprise but quickly recovers. She tries to grab me, and I can't believe she has the audacity to think she's going to come into the palace and take me without a fight. When she grabs my arms, I grab her neck and squeeze. She lets go of my arm, and I throw her against the wall. "Come on, demon bitch show me what you got," I say as Jock gets out of bed. He stays back, though. The others are still invisible, so I don't know exactly where they are. Maelani stands up and glares at me. "I don't know why my dad is determined to have you, but I'm going to take you to him. First, he has to do something for me, and then he can have you as his prize. Now let's go, you stupid fairy." She runs towards me, but I'm busy watching her eyes. Let's see how she likes my song. I twirl away and giggle while she keeps trying to grab me. "The demon bitch and her father. The demon bitch and her father. She wants to ride his dick so sheMaelani's P.O.V.I can't explain it, but while I was trying to fight Davina, I felt almost at peace. There has been so much darkness around me that I forgot I wasn't always evil. I had hoped a mate would claim me and take me away from my family. When Davina touches my hand, I can't hold back my tears. "I'm so sorry. They all got in my head so much that all I could see was darkness. I don't want to hurt anyone." I tell her honestly. I have no right to expect anyone to forgive me. "Look at me," Davina says. I look into her bright green eyes, and she smiles."Your eyes are no longer black; they're dark green. So pretty." She says from where she kneels on the floor in front of me. How can anyone radiate so much positivity and happiness all the time? I don't know why my dad is intent on getting her, but I can't let him. I can't allow her light to be dimmed by the evil of that realm."I feel different. I promise I won't let my dad or anyone else g
Davina's P.O.V. I look at my mother, and I feel so many things. Happiness that I have a mother, anger because I've been wondering aimlessly for so long, not knowing where I came from, and confusion as to why they're telling me now. Jock is on his knees next to me, holding me in his strong arms. He may be the silent type, and I'm the loud, flamboyant type, but we can move mountains together. He helps me stand when he knows I'm ready without me saying anything. "Why am I only hearing about you now?" I'm not able to hide the anger in my voice. I'm hurt that all this time, I thought I was just a plain fairy when really I'm the daughter of a goddess who turned me into a fairy. So what am I? A goddess fairy or a fairy goddess? Laetitia walks toward me. "I'm sorry, Davina. I was scared if someone knew who you were, they would kill you to get to me, and I refused to put your life in jeopardy. You've been on Earth for
Darian's P.O.V.I'm making my way to the palace in order to help defeat the demons who will be attacking them soon. I need to get revenge on those in the underworld for my family, so Selene asked me to help; I willingly agreed. I fly overhead in the darkness of the night, looking down at the world below. It's best for me to fly at night so the humans don't see me. As a phoenix, I'm rather large and would be noticed immediately. I could walk to the palace or drive, but I prefer to fly. My bird, Shadow, is good at blending in when we fly. He's pure black with red eyes. The fire demon Surtur killed us when I tried to defend my family from his rage. When I rose from the ashes, I was alone. It's not easy to kill a demon, especially one like Surtur. He had wanted my family to work for him, but we refused; we don't do evil deeds. We just want to live in peace. I see the palace ahead as Shadow lands in the forest and shifts. Being a phoenix, I'm not like
Maelani's P.O.V.Is it possible that the handsome man in front of me is my mate? I feel drawn to him. I hear what Davina sings about him being a phoenix. The look on his face makes me freeze. Is he angry at me? I take a couple of steps back in fear."I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong?" I ask Darian quietly. His face softens, but I'm still scared. "Can we talk outside?" He asks. His voice makes my insides quiver, but I should prepare myself for rejection. I turn and walk out of the dining hall. When I hear Davina yell after us, I can't help smiling."If you hurt her, I'll bury your phoenix ass so far under the ashes you won't be able to rise again." She sounds serious even as she begins to giggle. When we get away from everyone's prying eyes, I turn to Darian with my arms crossed. If he's my mate, I'm sure he doesn't want to be mated to a demon. Honestly, who would?"Are you my mate?" I ask him, looking into his gorgeous blue eyes.
Surtur's P.O.V.How was Maelani able to leave the underworld without me feeling it until it was too late? I filled her with darkness, so all she could see was me and my agenda. I convinced her that she was my mate when, in reality, I would never mate with a worthless demon like her. In the underworld, it's better to not mate with anyone. Now I find out that not only did she leave, but she mated with Darian. He's the last Raven Phoenix. I don't think he even knows why I went after his family. The Raven Phoenix is the most powerful of all the Phoenix. Now that he's mated to Maelani, his power will be released. I didn't think that little bitch had it in her to defy me, but I see now that was a mistake. I should have never trusted her. I know Asmodeus wants the fairy, but I need her and the others she's with. They are all unique in their own way, and I must use their abilities so I can take over Earth. I will then be able to defeat Satan and the gods. I am
Davina's P.O.V. I walk past Maelani's room and giggle. The demon likes to scream. It looks like she and Darian accepted each other. I'm happy for both of them. I wonder who else is going to come and help us. I run to mine and Jock's room. There will be training this afternoon, but right now, we are going to keep trying to get pregnant. When I open the door he's waiting for me. I run into his arms and wrap my legs around his waist. "Are you ready to try again?" I ask as I kiss him. Jock smiles when I pull away. "Do you want toys or no toys?" He asks, carrying me to the bed. I love our fun toys, but I just want him right now. "I want you. Jock, with everything that's happening around us, don't ever forget how much I love you. I know it's all chaotic right now, but knowing that I have your love and support is what keeps me going." I'm not usually one for serious talks. However, I need him
Tania's P.O.V. Why on earth did I agree to this? I don't do favors. No one has any control over me. I'm a loner; I've lived happily for centuries alone. Selene asked me to help those at the palace, and I'm walking through a forest because it's too risky to fly. I'm a dragon shifter. My dragon is large and purple, so it would definitely be noticeable if I was flying while the sun was still out. I should have waited until it was dark. "Will you stop already? You're a few hundred years old, and you sound like a damn toddler who had their favorite toy taken away." I roll my eyes at my dragon, Izzy. She was excited to help out because we never go anywhere. I prefer my own company in my house on top of Mount Everest. I'm in a location that no human would ever be able to reach. It's perfect. "No, it's not. How are you going to find our mate if you never leave?" She scolds me. Again, I roll my eyes.
Davina's P.O.V."I don't understand. Did I do something wrong?" Adrick asks as we all run outside and watch the dragon fly away. I don't have an answer for him, but I'll try and get one. "Stay here. I'm going to talk to her." I prepare to make myself tiny, but Jessi grabs my hand."I'll go with you. I'll teleport us. Did you see where she flew to?" Jessi asks. I saw the general direction, and I doubt she went far. "Try the nearest mountain," I reply. Jock kisses me, and Wyatt does the same to Jessi."Be careful," Jock says, kissing my forehead. "We will." Jessi teleports us, and we're suddenly standing on the nearest mountain. It's much cooler up here, but neither of us can feel it. I look around but don't see the dragon anywhere."Do you see her?" I ask Jessi."I'm right here," I spin around and see Tania peeking over a boulder. "Are you okay?" I ask, walking over to her. She sighs as Jessi, and I sit nex
One Year LaterDavina's P.O.V.I look down at my sleeping daughter, Aleigha, in my arms and smile. She's almost six months old. If she only knew what we went through to have her. One day, I'll be sure to tell her. She has red hair just like me and dark brown eyes like Jock. Despite Trevor's constant teasing that our baby could be Karl's, Rmina assured us that the spell would have killed any viable sperm, so there was no way it could cause me to get pregnant. After defeating Surtur, everything calmed down around here. Jill and Karl returned home to have their twins with a promise they would visit and that they could visit us any time. I didn't let them fight with us because they hadn't trained, and Jill was pregnant, but I was so grateful they had come to help when we needed it. All of our other guests remained at the palace. Zoe and Ryder were fine with all the new people. We're truly a family.Everyone has little ones now. We have a baby phoenix,
Davina's P.O.V. Xantha moves to stand with Surtur while the other demons run toward us. It's time for the battle to begin. Izzy and Shadow return to the skies to do what they can. Our side spreads out, with everyone sticking with their mates. A demon runs toward me and Jock. I leap in the air and kick him in the face while blowing my dust on him to blind him. Jock uses his sword, piercing it through his heart and then cutting off his head. We toss him into the crack that Surtur made. It actually helps us so we can send all the demons where they deserve to go, to burn in hell. We move on to the next one, and I see the others are doing the same as we did, sending the demons to hell. Izzy swoops down, chomps two demons in half, and spits them into the hole in the ground. Shadow picks one up with his talons and tears him apart before sending him to hell. Malantha and Maelani are working with Dion to
Davina's P.O.V. "How did they get you and the kids?" I mindlink Zoe, Ryder and everyone who's fighting with us. "We were hiding in the basement with the kids when we were suddenly outside, and the demons had us. I don't understand how it happened." Zoe mindlinks us back. I can hear the desperation in her voice. This sounds like something Cressida would do, but she's dead. It has to be a witch. Just as I'm about to mindlink everyone, a woman walks out from behind the demons. She's beautiful with long reddish blonde hair, but her eyes are completely black. "She's a witch and not just any witch. Her magic is darker than we've ever seen. Everyone be careful." I mindlink them. "Well, hello there, fine palace dwellers. I have been anxious to meet the people who killed Cressida. I'm Xantha." I glare at the witch. I want to squash her with my foot, but I can't do anything until
Davina's P.O.V.When we see the hounds and lower demons, I look at Jessi. We all know this is only Surtur's first attack. He'll save the best for last, so we need to reserve our energy. "Everyone stay back. Let me take care of these rats." I make myself tiny and fly over those running through the gates. I sprinkle my dust as I go. They all turn into giant rats. Hmmmm, what dance shall we have them do? I know this isn't the time for fun and games, but we need a little laughter before we face the fire demon. I've got the perfect song. I return to the others, and they all look at me."Come on, fellas, show us what you got." I clap my hands, and the rats all line up in rows, standing on their hind legs. When they begin singing and dancing, everyone howls with laughter. "You have them singing Y.M.C.A.?" Jessi asks while wiping the tears from her eyes."Yep, why was there something else you'd rather hear?" Jessi shakes her head while pulling out
Davina's P.O.V. After Karl gave his sample to Rmina. We got him, and Jill settled into a guest room. Rmina kicked me out of her bedroom when I kept asking her how much longer it would be, so now I'm pacing in the hallway. I could make myself tiny and get back in, but I don't want to make her mess up the potion. Jock is leaning against the wall, watching me. This is our chance to have a baby, and we both feel anxious. When the door to Rmina and Trevor's bedroom opens, I stop. Rmina walks out with a smile, holding up a small glass bottle. "I made it into an oil. You need to rub it all over your body and let it soak in for an hour, and then you can take a shower. After that, you should be able to get pregnant." She hands me the small bottle and I wrap my arms around her. "Thank you. I love you, Rmina." She chuckles and hugs me back. "I love you too, you crazy fai
Davina's P.O.V. "So, can I have some of your semen?" I look at Jill and Karl, and they both look like they're ready to run away. Jessi, Wyatt, and Trevor are laughing so hard I think they might fall over. This is no laughing matter."Why do you need Karl's semen?" Jill asks. I guess I should have explained it a little better."I need it so I can have a baby. So can I have some?" The others are laughing even harder while Jock's hold on me gets stronger. What is wrong with everyone? I'm telling the truth. Jill stands in front of Karl like she's going to attack me if I get near him."You want to have sex with my mate?" She asks through clenched teeth. I shake my head."Let me explain." Rmina steps forward. I wish her luck because I told them what I needed it for. What else is there to say? "I'm Rmina, and I'm a witch. The demon Asmodeus had a spell placed on Davina so she couldn't get pregnant with anyone except him. She is now mated to Jock, the man w
Rmina's P.O.V.While the others are going through the palace looking for any more spies, Trevor and I are working on a special project. Even though Asmodeus is dead, the spell on Davina is still in place. I need to find a way to remove it. I feel bad now that she's explained why she always picks on me. It has to be hard on her knowing she can't get pregnant when she wants a child so badly. "Any luck?" Trevor asks, putting his arms around me from behind. "Not yet, but I think I'm getting closer," I answer as he kisses my cheek. Most people see him as nothing more than a warrior, but I know the truth. Trevor has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know. He doesn't always know how to show it because, let's face it, Gabe and Cressida weren't exactly good role models. His hands slide down to my belly to cover my small bump where our son is growing. "I can't wait until he's here," Trevor says against my ear. "Me neither. I know he's a pup, but
Gabriel's P.O.V. No one ever asks for my help. Most people don't even know I exist. They think of other shifters like wolves or bears, but there aren't many like me. I'm an alicorn. My alicorn's name is Thunder. He's dark gray with blue eyes like mine. We're running to the palace rather than flying because we'd be noticed by humans. Selene reached out to me and asked for my assistance. I was honored that she considered me. I spend all my time alone. After my parents left me when I was a foal, I've been alone ever since. They said I could take care of myself because I was a shifter. That was over twenty years ago, and I'm now thirty. Thunder reaches the palace gates and shifts. An advantage of being an alicorn is that we have a little magic and can shift without removing our clothes. I run my fingers through my golden brown hair while the guards look at me with their mouths open. Well, at least someone is impresse
Surtur's P.O.V. I can't believe that idiot thought he could go after Davina and the others with guns blazing but with no plan. Well, that's one nuisance out of the way. Asmodeus wasn't even worthy to be down here, in my opinion. He was too caught up in all his women. I understand he was the demon of lust, but there is more to life than sex. One of my hounds was spying on him, and he saw the entire fight. Even I almost laughed when he said Davina made Asmodeus and his hounds do the Macarena. That fool was probably madder than hell. He didn't have a firm grip on anything, it seems. Two of his daughters and his head hound turned their backs on him and chose another life. That would never happen to me. The people around me know if there was any type of insubordination, they would be dead. I look at the demons in front of me who have agreed to go against Satan and take over the Earth. It is time that w
