The water in the sink had turned a disgusting shade of brown with a thick layer of grease floating at the top."I can't wash the cups in this mess. I need to change the water." I said to myself.I need to get these done before Ms. Penny gets here. She hates it when the house isn't immaculate when she comes home from wherever it is she goes to everyday. She doesn't work so I assume she spends her days at the corner bar.When the water finished draining, I rinsed it and began to run the water for a fresh sink full of the sudsy water. Out of all the possible chores in the world I hated dishes the most. Penny knew that too, that's why she made it my personal chore every day. The woman hates me, and I don't know why. I haven't done anything to justify the constant beatings and torture that I receive daily.I tried to tell the school in hopes that someone would take me from her home but instead when they showed up, they interviewed her and said the case was unf

I stepped out of the heat and into the dizzying array of lights of the night club. The bass emanating from the speakers hit me in the chest as I scanned the room looking for my best friend Wendy. I walked further into the crowd hoping to catch a glimpse of her golden hair. A simple locator spell could solve my dilemma, but I tried to refrain from doing magic in public. The good people of Alabama are friendly enough, but they can be closed minded when it comes to the unknown.I am a witch. Not a particularly good one but I can manage the basics. I would probably be better at it if I knew anyone like me. Wendy knows my secret and she has a secret of her own. She's a faerie. Yes, a faerie. Wings and all. Of course, you will never see her wings unless she wants you too. Exposing your wings to any being is a very intimate and private affair for the Fae community. You had to have gained the complete trust and love of a faerie to see their true form. I was the only one who had seen Wendy exp

I could hear Liam getting directions from Wendy. They sounded so far away like a faint echo, but I could see them standing no further than two feet from me. I could argue that I didn't need a designated driver, but I was not completely convinced of that myself. Liam helped me up from the wall that I was slumped against. With my arm over his shoulder and his arm stretched across my back, he walked me out of the club and to my car.I fumbled in my purse for the keys and pressed the button to unlock the doors. With his empty arm he opened the door and placed me in the passenger seat as if I were a piece of glass that could break with the slightest movement. Once he had my seat belt secured, I felt him kiss my forehead and then he quickly shut the door. Such an odd and intimate gesture for someone who had just met me.I watched him cross to the driver side of the car and slide the seat back as far as it could go so, he could get behind the wheel. With the turn of the key the engin

The sunlight creeping through the window was excruciating even through closed eyes. Images from the previous night's events danced through my mind like a film and I could feel a wide grin forming across my face. I tried to stretch but something was holding me down. I couldn't move.I slammed my eyes open, squinting through the shock the sun gave my eyes. I lay there naked and chained to a bed that was not my own in a room that I had never seen before. Where the hell am I? How in the hell did I get here?A strong coppery scent overwhelmed me. My throat was on fire. I looked down at my naked body which appeared to be covered in a sticky, crimson fluid. The burning in my throat grew stronger and the pit of my stomach seemed to boil with hunger.I screamed as a sharp pain cut through my gums. It felt like I was having a tooth extracted without anesthesia. When the pain ebbed to nothing more than a dull ache, I used my tongue to examine where the pain had started. I nicked

I woke to find Liam propped up on one arm staring down at me. I yawned as my body violently stretched of its own accord."See anything fascinating while I slept?"He laughed and showed me the cellphone in his hand. "If you only knew."I thought it was sweet that he wanted to take pictures of me, but I would prefer it to be while I'm awake and not drooling in my sleep. He rolled on to his back and made room for me to snuggle in under his arm, so he could show me the pictures he had taken. There was a total of two pictures. The first on the screen showed me asleep but I could barely recognize myself.The sun had fell around me in the picture as I had slept. It illuminated my skin which normally looked just pale white but, in this picture, it looked like my skin was glowing with a slight gold undertone. My hair that had fanned out around me appeared fuller with a shimmer to it that looked unnatural but breathtaking.For the first time in my life I felt beautifu

The front door of the cottage opened, and Wendy appeared in the doorway. Her brows were furrowed as she scanned the entire yard. Chase appeared beside her and with one arm he protectively moved her back, so she stood behind him."What's wrong with them?""You may want to uncloak us before Chase goes into full defensive mode.""Shit, I forgot!"I called my power back into myself and watched as the realization dawned on Chase's face."Sorry Chase. I forgot that I cloaked us."I heard Wendy's sigh of relief before she reappeared. "You scared the crap out of me guys. I could feel your magic, but I couldn't see you."I walked over to her and hugged her tight. "I didn't mean to scare you Wendy. My car was here so Liam flew us here. I had to cloak us, so people wouldn't see us."She gently squeezed me back and released me. Suddenly, there were orbs dancing in my vision and the woods started to spin. I closed my eyes to stop the dizzin

The drive to Montgomery proved to be a long one as the three of us rode in awkward silence. I wore my darkest aviators to hide the puffiness around my eyes. I couldn't think about it. I couldn't think about him, or the tears would come again.I scrutinized the small airports lack of security as I walked Wendy and Chase through one metal detector, to the scanner, and then to their terminal. Seated in one of the many chairs that lined the windows sat Jaxon.Jaxon Claiborne was a tall man of slim build and every inch of his body, spare his face, was covered in black tribal tattoos. He was a handsome man if that's what you could call him. Being a full vampire, he could rip you apart in the blink of an eye. He made a formidable opponent to those who dared oppose him and I was grateful to be on his good side. I've known him long enough that I wasn't afraid to throw lip at him when he stepped out of line. He had pale skin, dark mahogany brown hair, and eyes so dark that they almo

The sound of ringing woke me from my sleep. I was up late with Liam watching the cameras that were recording my property. I didn't remember falling asleep or even making it to the room. Liam must have carried me up here and plugged my phone into the charger he loaned me. I grabbed the phone from where it rested on the nightstand beside the bed and saw that it was Jaxon. I hit the button to accept the call."Good morning, you sexy little witch.""Isn't it like three in the evening there?""Ah yes, but it is about nine o'clock at home."I rolled my eyes into the back of my head. He was entirely too chipper for my taste right now. "It's still too early for me for your antics. I had a long night. Someone tried to follow me from the airport yesterday."The line went silent for a few seconds before he asked, "What happened?"I first yawned and then answered, "I lost him and then Liam cut him off, so I could get away."I heard a few faint swear words befo

Saraid all but ran from the room and up the stairs with Liam following closely behind, both afraid of letting go of eachothers hands. Once they reached the top of the huge staircase Saraid turned and jumped into Liam's arms, straddling his waist and locked her lips on to his. He carried her to their room, never breaking the kiss. With one arm around his neck, Saraid reached behind herself and turned the knob and pushed open the door to their room. Liam kicked it closed, and fumbled with the lock before crossing the room and tossing Saraid on the bed, pulling a slight giggle from her as she bounced from the impact on the mattress. She sat up and immediately began to pull on the button of Liam's pants, quickly pulling them from his body as her unbridled need for him grew stronger. He kicked his shoes and pants off simultaneously. Her hands hungrily tore at his shirt until it joined the rest of his clothes on the floor and she pulled him down on the bed so she could climb atop his waist

Every eye in the room was trained on Liam as they waited anxiously to see if Treasa's magic was the key to recovering Liam's memories. Saraid dropped to her knees in front of Liam and rubbed Treasa's hair back from her sleeping face. Her heart was pounding against her rib cage as she saw the familiar red barbed wire like mark glow slighty before fading back to its usual dull red appearance. "Liam?" His eyes shifted between Saraid and the sleeping child in his lap, "When did we get back home?" Saraid plopped herself down on her butt and began to laugh hysterically. She didn't find anything about the situation particularly amusing and deep down she felt relieved. She didn't realize that he wouldn't have any recollection of everything that had happened in the past few months. The last time Liam remembered her, they were at the cabin and he was chained to a tree by Graten. How was she going to explain the twisted chain of events that led to her now being bound to Graten as well? Would

An awkward silence befell Saraid and Damon as they sat and discussed the peculiar predicament, they found themselves in. Treasa returned in no time and sat on the floor between them with her arms full of her favorite toys.“Where’s Daddy? I have his favorite dollies so he can play too,” she asked Saraid, her innocent face scrunched up in a sign of confusion.Saraid fought back the tears threatening to fall all over again as she brushed her sweet angels bangs from her face, “Daddy is out helping the Guardians with some important training so it’s just you, me, and Grandpa this time.”Treasa’s smile failed and was replaced with a frown of disappointment, but only for a second. She looked into Saraid’s eyes and asked, “Daddy’s sick, isn’t he?”“What makes you ask that,” Damon interjects.“Because Daddy is not Daddy. When Daddy is Daddy, he always plays with me,” she lifts her chin and challenges Damon to say otherwise.Saraid grabs Treasa under her arms and lifts her, so she sits on her l

“I can’t do this anymore! What was the point of all this if I was just going to keep losing him,” Saraid silently asked herself? She stormed through the mansion, throwing everything she could lift in her anger. She now had the last person responsible for taking Liam away from her and she wanted nothing more than to still her beating heart, but she couldn’t, not yet.A glint of silver caught the corner of her eye, tucked away in the corner atop a small wooden table. It was a picture of her and Liam the day they first sat upon the throne. She felt her breathing slow as she slowly crossed the room and took the picture into her hands. They looked so happy and so in love as they gazed into one another’s eyes. The memory of that day sent a small stream of warm tears down her cheek.“I am yours and you are mine forever,” she whispered through her tears.Her life with Liam seemed to move through her mind like a slow-motion movie. All the good and all the bad, and all the things designed to te

“Jaxson Claiborne, you better call me back! I’ve left you message after message. It’s not like you to ignore me!” Wendy screamed into the phone right before she smashed her finger down on the end call button.Chase reached for her and immediately halted her pacing. He had a random burst of energy and found himself feeling close to normal. He wasn’t sure what happened, but he knew it had something to do with Saraid. Knowing she’s alive made them that much more determined to get in touch with Jax so they could go find her.“Wendy, Jax is bound to Saraid just as I am. Chances are he was hunkered down somewhere too weak to do anything,” Chase tried his best to comfort her.“It is likely that his battery died too,” Damon added.She began pacing again, wearing a spot in the floor, “Jax is always prepared for everything. He would not be caught without a charger or some way to get in touch with us. I’m telling you; something is wrong!”A high-pitched wail drew their attention away from the co

The night air was crisp and added to his misery as he sat up from the dampened ground. Questions plagued his thoughts. How did he get here? Where is he? His eyes darted back and forth, taking in his surroundings. He was protected from the elements by what appeared to be a makeshift shelter of some sort. Every wall was comprised of twigs, moss, and mud. Whoever built this place must live here, but where is here and who lives here?A faint sound of feminine humming drifted in through the missing entryway. He noticed his legs were stiff and hard to move as if he hadn’t moved in days. It also caught his attention that his clothes had been changed because he now wore clothes that he didn’t recognize. A small grunt escaped him as he moved to follow the humming coming from outside.Surrounded by trees along the bank of a river sat the silhouette of a female moving something around in the water. Careful not to startle her, he carefully walked in her direction, his guard up so he wouldn’t be c

Graten had flipped every piece of the furniture in the mansion, feeling slightly defeated when he failed to find her there. He was sure that she had vanished into Purgatory, but she would be here at the mansion, right? He won’t rest until he finds her.“Come on Saraid, where are you?” he asks the empty room.Maybe she’s not even here. She could have just vanished to get away from me. Or maybe when she wound up here, she decided to go out to look for me.“Hmph, Fat chance,” he mocked himself but decided that seeing if she was at his place was better than doing nothing.He jogged through the mansion until he found himself seated on his motorcycle. The turn of the key left an echo like thunder in his wake as he went barreling down the old dirt road in the direction of his brewery. If nothing else maybe, he will run into her along the way.As the brewery came into sight, he noticed a familiar car in the lot. He couldn’t place where he had seen it before, but his gut told him that it was S

The room looked like hers, only everything was grey and void of any color. The last thing she remembered was crying herself to sleep and then there was a glimpse of Graten and now she was here. Here she assumed is Purgatory. She needed to get home, but she could barely keep herself standing so her chances of calling magic was slim to none. She sat up on the bed and tried to call upon her magic and felt nothing in return. It was just as she thought. Her magic was depleted and that meant that Chase, Guin, and Jax were suffering as well.“I’m such a selfish asshole!” she cursed to no one in particular.How could she have let herself get this weak knowing that she had other people’s lives tied to her own? She couldn’t even remember the last time she saw anyone outside of the mansion. Anxiety seemed to give her enough strength to get to her feet and begin her search for the only person who could help her.“He’s gotta be here somewhere,” she grunted to herself and she stumbled through the b

The echoes of protests and shouts reverberated through the walls of the stone mansion, the subjects of the coven hammered Damon and Wendy with questions regarding the whereabouts of their Queen. They shared a look of understanding as they approached the angry crowd. How were they going to explain something that they themselves didn’t know the answer to?“I understand your frustrations and your confusion. The Queen has been extremely busy handling a few pressing matters in which we cannot disclose. I assure you that she is alive and well and you will see that as soon as she is able to make an appearance,” Damon spoke as calmly as he could to the now quieted crowd.“We’re just supposed to take your word for it?” a man stepped to the front of the crowd.Damon smiled, “Your skepticism is understood, but yes at this time I ask you to take my word for it. If something had happened to my child, do you think I would be standing here in front of you trying to make peace instead of avenging her
