Cressida's P.O.V. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Why am I surrounded by fools? I told Gabe to bring me a virgin woman whose body I could take so those idiots in the palace don't know what I look like. He had to take a human who was with a wolf from Dark Moon. Now she's at the palace telling them all about her missing friend. The young woman is lying on the bed watching us. I can't use her body now that they know what she looks like. How hard is it for him to find one that's alone? Does he not understand there should be no witnesses? "What can I do to make it up to you?" Gabe asks while following me around like the pathetic dog he is. "Nothing. There is nothing you can do. Forget about it. I'll use her to relieve my frustration." He looks from the blonde on the bed back to me. "What do you mean? Use her how?" Some men are so stupid. "You know I prefer women oJessi's P.O.V.We get Dawn and Jose settled in a room inside the palace, but something is bugging me. Dawn said Aubrey was adamant they needed to go on a road trip and wouldn't take no for an answer. Why do I feel like she was up to something?"Davina, do you think you can do something for me?" I ask my favorite fairy. She twirls over to me excitedly."Anything, Warrior Jessi." I can't help smiling at her. One of these days, I'm going to sit down to talk with her about her life before we met. I bet it's an interesting story that would definitely require popcorn."Do you think you can go to the location where Dawn and Aubrey had a flat tire? I want to know if you sense anything strange there. I know you're more sensitive than most to the presence of supernaturals." She's focusing on me with a serious expression when suddenly she nods and jumps up and down excitedly."Yes, I can do that. Is there anything in particular you're looking for?" I don't
Cressida's P.O.V. Getting rid of Gabe was the best thing I could have done. Aubrey is better than he ever was, and she has magic of her own. I still don't know how Jessi and the others plan to kill me, but I figure I may be able to use Aubrey as a sacrifice so I can live. It's great having a woman who wants to be with me, but let's get real. Being with one person really isn't what I'm into. She's taking care of my needs right now, and I'll use her in the fight, but after that, her services will no longer be required. I should have left a better note on Gabe. It seemed almost childish now that I think about it. Oh, well. They know the time has come for them to die. I sent them the message yesterday, so I figure we'll attack tonight. I have all the rogues ready to go, and I've added a spell to make them stronger than the typical lycans. Aubrey's currently got her head between my legs, but I'm no
Jessi's P.O.V. I guess Cressida thinks the thunder and lightning are going to scare us, but we're beyond the theatrics. We're ready to kill some witches. Everyone is prepared. This time, she's not getting away. "She just breached the protection I placed in the forest," Rmina says from behind me. "Everyone, she's coming," I yell just as several rogues burst through the front gate. We left it unlocked, idiots, so you could die faster. The first round of warriors, along with Trevor, runs toward them. He's taken the loss of Gabe well. He said they were never really close. Gabe's focus had always been on Cressida. I can't believe the strength Trevor has now. He's taking two or three lycans at a time, even with whatever spell the witches have on them. I look over at Rmina, and she's beaming with pride. "Cressida and Aubrey are almost here," Ariel says from where she's standing next to Zoe. Wyatt,
Jessi's P.O.V.My tears start falling as grief takes over. I look at the spot where Davina was lying, and there's nothing left of her. My fairy can't be dead. My grief is replaced with rage, and all I see is red. We have to kill that bitch. Davina will not die in vain. Just as I stand up and prepare to wipe that smirk off Cressida's face, I hear something through mindlink that makes me freeze."Trick, trick, trick a witch and watch her die. Trick, trick, trick a witch, and watch her die." What the hell? Am I making up songs now in Davina's voice? "Don't cry for me, warrior Jessi; I'm still here. I just had to trick the witch so I could help you take her by surprise."I want to weep with joy and yell at the fairy at the same time. I understand having to trick Cressida, but why me? Does she know how gutted I was thinking she was dead? I look at Jock and see him smirking. That jerk knew what she was doing. "Tink, I swear when this is over, I'm going to throttle you.
One Week LaterWyatt's P.O.V.I can do this. I can do this. I faced Cressida, and she was pure evil. This can't be anywhere near as bad. It will be fine. I know it will."Why does Wyatt look green?" Davina asks from the back seat. I can't smack a fairy; that would be wrong. I would close my eyes but can't because I'm driving."He's scared," Jessi says, laughing next to me. She's not helping. This is no laughing matter. I've never done this before."Should I use some dust on him?" Come on, Jock, control your mate. I can't have her using her fairy dust to make me go into heat or something just as bad at a time like this. We're almost there. Would Jessi be mad if we turned around? We pull into the long driveway, and I'm so anxious I can't sit still. We're here. The Dark Moon Guardians Pack. Several people are waiting for us near the front of the pack house. I'm assuming Jessi's dad is the large, muscular warrior covered in tattoos. "Will you calm down? It's g
Three Months LaterJessi's P.O.V.They better stop before I get up and slap them both. Davina and Rmina are arguing about who's going to be the pup's godmother. I have already told them they both can, but they don't want to share. She's not even here yet, and they're already fighting over her. The men are no better. They're currently in the nursery with Nickolas and Ryder, making sure everything is perfect and arguing about where things should go. Bernadette, the new palace doctor, believes our pup will come today. She refuses to go by her last name and insists we call her by her first. I love her. She's a lycan and almost a century old. "I'm the fairy, so I should be the fairy godmother." Davina insists. I giggle as Rmina turns red and gets ready to argue. "Okay, that's enough. I'll be the godmother." Dawn says from where she's sitting next to me. She's expecting her first pup, too, but she has at least a few more weeks to go. Rmina and
Book 3 - Davina - More Than A FairyTwo Weeks Before Meeting JessiDavina's P.O.V.When I fly alone, I cry.When I walk alone, I cry.Why can't anyone see me?Why don't they understand?People see me as an airhead who likes to giggle and twirl.Don't they see there is so much more to me?I'm more than just a fairy.I want to love and laugh. I want a man to call my own.I'm more than just a fairy.I can fight, and I can sing.I can make myself big or make myself small.I'm so alone that, at times, I want to die.No one will miss me because all they see is a fairy.The loneliness is a darkness that surrounds me.I live in a cloud when I want to live in the light.I can't see through the pain in my heart.Why can't they see me for who I am?I'm more than just a fairy.I want to love and laugh,I want a man to call my own.I'm more than just a fairy.I can fight, and I can sing.I ca
Davina's P.O.V."Why are you here?" I ask Satan, glaring at him. I stand in front of the door so he can't come in. Most would be scared of him, but I'm not. He's a man, and like most men, he thinks with the brain between his legs. "I want you to reconsider and come back to me." Who would have thought Satan would beg a fairy to be one of his women? I cross my arms and stand my ground."That's not going to happen. I just spoke with Selene, and she has a mate for me. I don't want to be one of your women who tells you what you want to hear, so you'll pay me a little attention. When I was down there, I told you I wouldn't sleep with you, and that hasn't changed. Now go back to hell." I try to shut the door. He has the nerve to stop it from closing. He may be tall, dark, and handsome, but I'm a fairy, damn it, and I don't take no crap from no one. Not even Satan. I pull out some of my magic dust and blow it on him. "Does Satan have lots of women because
