Jessi's P.O.V.
I look at the unbelievable sight in front of me and then at Wyatt. We both start laughing as we make our way into the room. Trevor and Rmina look at us with confusion as they follow us inside. "Why are you laughing?" Trevor asks. "Don't you get it? Do you see what this is?" I spin around. There are rogues, or at least they're supposed to look like rogues, in multiple stages of being constructed. Adrian apparently has been making rogue robots, which makes a lot of sense now with the trackers and how the other two burnt themselves. It's kind of scary how lifelike some of them seem. I see several that look like members of Dark Moon. "Yeah, they're robots. Why is that funny?" Trevor asks, still confused. I shake my head. Maybe I should get some crayons and a coloring book for the pup to keep him busy while the adults work. "That's why they were so strange. When they attacked, they never really attacked. When we asked questions, thCressida's P.O.V.I look at the idiot, still asleep on the bed. Gabe thought he was going to have me many times. I let him use his mouth on me and then stick that disgusting thing he calls a penis inside me one time. After that, I was done, so I put a spell on him to put him to sleep. I can think better without his stupidity rubbing off on me.Now that I'm not a forest creature, I can return to business. This shack isn't big enough, so I quickly start casting spells to make it bigger and add a small potion room. I cast another one to give me the clothes I prefer: long black dresses. Now that I have everything I need, it's time to plan for my attack. I have the rogues already under my spell, so I don't need to make warriors like I did last time. It took too much time and effort just for it to blow up in my face. Gabe begins to move, so I hurry and put the sleeping spell on him again. I'm not ready for him to be hovering over me. We're not in a relationship
Jessi's P.O.V. Wyatt and I teleport to Ryder and Zoe's office. They're both looking at a computer screen with Lucas. We rush over to see what they're looking at. "What's going on?" I ask. On the screen are live images of every room in the palace. I even see one of our bedroom. "Why do you have cameras in the bedrooms?" "We don't. Someone else installed them. I believe it was Adrian. Lucas saw footage from them when Adrian had him in that room. He saw what Adrian was doing and hacked into the cameras this morning." Ryder answers. I look at Lucas. "How did Adrian get you?" I question him. Lucas isn't a small pup. He's bigger than some men. "He used wolfsbane on me. That's why I couldn't mindlink either. It made me really weak, and then he tied me up and carried me through a door in my closet that I didn't know was there. This whole place has secret areas that none of us knew about." He answer
Jessi's P.O.V. I stare at Eva in disbelief. What did she mean she's the reason the king and queen will be killed? I try to rein in my temper before I blow up and light her on fire like she's a big-ass spider. "Explain exactly what you're talking about." I hope I sound professional, even though I'm ready to attack her. Wyatt puts his hand on mine when he sees I'm ready to jump over the desk and beat her before she says anything. "I saw Adrian and Dr. Neelson sneaking around in the hidden passageways. I didn't know what they were doing, but I should have told someone. I'm so sorry." Eva put her face in her hands and started sobbing. I look at Wyatt and relax. I didn't think this sweet woman would do anything to hurt Ryder or Zoe. "You're not responsible. There was no way you could have known what was going on. Can you answer some questions for us?" I ask her softly. Eva dries her eyes and lo
Jessi's P.O.V. Wyatt and I leave Zoe and Ryder so we can talk to Nickolas. I teleport us to the back entrance, and we show up just as he's getting ready to come inside. He's startled at first and then starts laughing. "You scared me. I'm not used to having people teleport." He says with a smile. I know this man can't be bad. He's too sweet and kind. "Have you seen Wayne?" I silently beg him to tell us the truth. "Yeah, I just talked to him. I asked him if he'd seen anyone installing cameras all over the palace. I figured, as the head of security, he would know." Oh, brother. You big, sweet lycan fool. "What did he say?" Wyatt asks. Nickolas looks at us with concern. "He said he would look into it. Am I missing something?" He questions us. "We believe he was involved with Adrian and Dr. Neelson. Most likely, Wayne was the one wh
Jessi's P.O.V. I stare at the skunks for half a second, and before they can spray, I turn to Wyatt. I know everyone expects me to teleport us out of here so we don't get skunk-bombed, but I think this is a Cressida trick to have us move from this gate. "Quick freeze time," I tell Wyatt. He waves his hand, and everything around us is suddenly still. "Jessi, what's going on? Everything except me and Davina is frozen." Jock mindlinked me. Perfect, my favorite fairy isn't affected either. I need her. "Come to the north gate. I need your mate." "Jock and Davina are on their way. I need you to keep freezing everything until I see if the fairy can help us." Wyatt nods. I see Jock and Davina running towards us just as everyone becomes unfrozen. Wyatt freezes them again before the skunks can spray. Damn, I forgot my sunglasses. I just need to remember to not look Davina in the eyes.
Jessi's P.O.V.Wyatt, Davina, Jock, and I are walking back to the palace to speak to Lucas when we see Trevor and Rmina in one of the gardens. I can tell the witch is upset about something. What did her idiot mate do now? "What's going on?" I ask, looking between them. Rmina looks pissed. I wonder if Davina can give me some popcorn. Although she'd probably make it sparkly popcorn."Selene just had a visit with us, and this stupid dog had the nerve to ogle her. I thought he was going to drool so much we might slip getting out of there." She answers through clenched teeth. Trevor's eyes open in shock."I don't know what you're talking about. I was excited to meet the Moon Goddess, but not in a sexual way. I think of her as a mother figure." I believe him, but let's have some fun, shall we? "I think you should withhold sex from him for at least a week as punishment. I mean, if he could think about Selene that way, who knows what else is going on in that dirty mind o
Zoe's P.O.V.With Jessi and Wyatt busy, I know it's up to me and Ryder to ensure everything runs smoothly in their absence. The first thing I do is call Jock and Trevor to our office. They come with their mates in tow. "Thank you for coming so quickly. Jessi just went into heat, so she and Wyatt will be occupied for the next few days." Davina starts jumping and twirling around happily. I like the fairy, but sometimes she makes my head hurt. "I want you to continue with whatever plans they had put into motion. Just come to Ryder and me if you need anything. We will also be joining your training. We haven't been there in a while, and I think it's important for everyone to be prepared. Do you have any questions?" I ask, looking at the two couples. "No, Your Majesty. Jose's in charge of training schedules, so you may want to talk to him too." Jock says. "I will, thanks." Once they leave, I turn to Ryder. "Are you ready for this?" I ask, sitting on his lap. We
Davina's P.O.V.Jessi's in heat; that sounds like fun. I wonder if she's actually hot or if it's just a term they use. I made Jock try the twirling thing, but it didn't work right no matter what position we used, but it sure was fun trying. I know most people look at me and think I'm just a ditsy fairy who only loves twirling and making things sparkle, but they're wrong. Those things make me smile and giggle, but before I met Jock, I was alone. I've been alone for a very long time, and in that time, I had nothing to make me giggle or twirl. The life of a fairy can be short because others are always trying to kidnap us and take our magic. Witches don't like us because some of our magic is stronger than theirs. Vampires don't want us because they can't drink our blood; it's like poison to them. We do get along with most shifters, though. I was so happy to mate with Jock. He's a big, strong warrior, and I know he'll never let me be alone again.One of my special talents i
