Flint pov I snuck out of Willow's room only to be met by Keran still standing outside her door."Morning Keran," I grin and walk past him. His brow raised and he followed me to my room down the end of the hall."Did you deflower my daughter?" he mumbles, his eyes watching me carefully. I chuckle and look up at him in a serious manner."Yes and I intend to marry her, if she'll have me and I don't give a damn about the stupid contract we signed years ago," I growl annoyed. Keran nods his head, arms crossed across his chest."Does she love you?" he asks with a grin. I look at him with a single brow raised."She says she does, she's extremely worried about what you and Roisin will say," I smile while changing my clothes. Keran chuckles over that news."Well Flint, Roisin and I welcome you to the family," he grins and squeezes my shoulder. I nod and smile back, I have looked up to the unseelie king for almost twenty years and he was a great ally."I'll speak with Roisin and we'll help you
Flint pov I was angry at the stupid seelie bitches I had ordered to leave the court. I hadn't even slept with most of them, there had only been two and it had happened several years ago. Why they insisted to believe they mattered to me was beyond my understanding. I yelled at them for insulting my future wife. That information visibly shook them, knowing they had been spiteful to their future queen. I scowled as I watched them exit the doors, Willow needed to realize I'd do anything to please her, even go against my crown. Satisfied with the outcome I head back to my quarters and my delicious woman. First, I stopped in the seelie vault and grabbed the biggest diamond ring I could find. I'm grinning like a fool when I enter and see my love wearing one of my shirts. I sit next to her and she smiles up at me. "Thanks for booting those bitches," she grins and I kiss her lips. She pulls back and eyes me curiously."How can you be half unseelie and be a seelie king," she questions me with
Willow pov Abyss and I made it to the house and I ran inside yelling for my father when he came I told him what happened then passed out exhausted. He and Axis carried Flint inside and laid him on the couch on his stomach. My father did what he could to heal him but he had a long way to recover. My dad spoke his words to me and I opened my eyes slowly, looking up at him."Will Flint live?" I mumbled and my dad looked at me with sadness in his eyes. "It will be up to him if he fights to live or succumbs to his injuries, he needs to hear your voice to give him a reason to fight," he sighs. I nod my head and go over to Flint. His back looked horrible."Can someone bring me warm water and a wash rag?" I sigh, tears threatening to fall from my eyes. Axis brought me some and I started washing Flint's back, pulling pieces of his shirt fabric out of the deep slashes. He was too weak to even flinch from the washcloth touching his flesh. I stopped washing him and ran my fingers through his be
Nyx povElderon forest God of the fairy realms, I chuckle free of the bonds the evil spiteful enchantress Nimue had put on me. Thankfully I had wed the two fairy courts days before my time expired, escaping my demise. I stretched, free at last. My name is Nyx Elderon and I'm a very powerful enchanter, half-seelie elf, and unseelie fairy necromancer, I'm the best there is. Unfortunately, I was born an extremely attractive man, and let me tell you it's a fucking curse. Having women fawn over you constantly is a pain in the ass, it was a kind of blessing having to wear a deer skull to hide my identity for so many years. Some century it would be nice to find a woman that loved me for who I was instead of what I looked like. I've even tried scaring my face without luck, waking the following day blemish free. I rolled my pale green eyes thinking of where I should travel next, perhaps back to the human world. I had not been there in many years and was certain it had changed immensely. My mag
Nyx pov I am on the somewhat comfortable bed gazing at the ceiling, it's late and I can't sleep. My mind is in utter confusion. I can't understand how Adria can see what's on the inside of me and be totally oblivious to my outside appearance. She obviously knew I was a part elf, she said that much. I rolled my eyes once again. I finally doze off, confusion still clouding my mind.It was close to noon when I opened my eyes. I stretched and yawned. I sat up and changed my clothes with a wave of my hand. It's been ages since I wore blue jeans and a simple tee. I decided on tennis shoes. I looked at myself in the mirror and shrugged, I looked like a normal person from the neck down after my glamor I looked human. I ran my fingers through my fine white hair and head in search of food. I stopped by the coffee shop and got a coffee and doughnut. Sitting at an outside table I watched as a few humans walked around, some couples held hands while children were playing at a small park. I sit bac
Adria pov I've been enjoying spending time with the elf Nyx. He's an enchanter I can tell by the magic that surrounded his aura. He's also very ancient and woefully lonely, when I saw his soul it physically hurt from the loneliness I felt. I feel bad for the man. He's also an attractive male, of course, I can see his outer shell but what a person can offer internally has always perked my interest more. His damn loneliness is pulling on my heartstrings making me want to help him. It feels like a necessity to rid him of the horrible thing so my goal is to make him happy. His joy will become my joy. I start a pot of strong coffee, it's Saturday and the shop is closed on weekends, so I have two days to enjoy doing nothing. I wrapped my robe around myself and propped my fuzzy slippers on the kitchen chair opposite me, waiting for the pot to finish brewing. A knock at my door confused me, I glanced out the window and saw Nyx standing there. I look down at myself and cringe, nightgown, rob
Adria pov I absolutely love Nyx's home, it's a work of art created by a master at his craft. I sit next to Nyx at his large opal inlaid wood dining table. He created a meal for us and it was delicious. I watched him clean with a flick of his wrist. He offered me wine and I graciously refused, I wasn't much of a drinker. He sat with his feet propped enjoying a glass with a grin on his face. He looked content and it made me content. I'm starting to believe our feelings are attached somehow. I felt a pain in my lower back from an old injury and his eyes fell on mine."Do you want me to fix it," he grins and I nod. He stood and asked me to show him where it hurt. I lifted the back of my shirt and said where the scar was. He placed his hands on my flesh and I felt warmth and the pain was gone. I watched him over my shoulder thanking him greatly. He stands and looks at me. "May I give you a kiss," he mumbles softly. I looked into his eyes and saw hope shining deep within his gaze and nodd
Adria pov A loud pounding erupted outside of Nyx's home. He grabbed my hand and headed toward the living room windows. A black inky mass covered the entire view. I shuddered. "See she can't get in," he chuckles. I look up at him like he's crazy. He grins down at me and pecks my cheek. I smile, squeezing his hand. His soul is actually enjoying all this madness. "We might as well sit and see what her next move is," he mumbled. I shake my head and go sit on the brown couch, leaning my head back. Nyx sits right next to me. I eyed him as he laid his hand on my thigh. He was looking at me with a big shit-eating grin. I raised my brow as his hand moved up further. He grabbed my thigh and transported us to his bedroom. I scowl and get ready to walk out the door.His brow raised and the sheets wrapped around me. I frown and glare at him with my eyes sending daggers. He walked up to me and pressed his lips against mine and smiled. I kissed him feverishly back, he's so damn alluring.I flick
Ryker pov I tasted powerful blood on my tongue and started swallowing it quickly. I opened my eyes and saw my brother Sphinx grinning at me. I bite his wrist and drink my fill. I glance at Nyx, my mom, Mystrel, and Kane all help. I removed my fangs and licked the wound closed."Thanks, brother," I mumble and stand to help. I lift a piece of my wood flooring and see Julith's black hair. She's bloody and not moving."I've found her," I muttered sadly. Sphinx waves his hand and lifts her into the air carefully. Blood was dripping down from her numerous wounds. I started sobbing, trying to feel for a heartbeat. Sphinx pats my back and waved his hand over her."She's got three heartbeats brother, she should live," he grinned and started healing her wounds. "Three heartbeats," I questioned him curiously."Yes, she's pregnant with twins, congratulations," he smiles and my face pales as I glance at Mystrel, he purses his lips and eyed me strangely. Could they be his, I shuddered with the th
Julith povI was very apprehensive about staying at the unseelie court with the grandfather of the grandson I had horrible dealings with.Ryker and I appeared before Keran and Ryker explained our circumstances. Keran chuckled and agreed to let me stay, also mentioning that I no longer had assassins after me. Ryker told me he'd come daily to let me feed from him. He took me to a small room and brought me the guitar and sketchbook. I sat on the bed a little saddened. "You'll be okay sweetheart, it's only until we can figure out this mess," he sighs sadly and hugs me."I'll see you tomorrow, my love," he grins and kisses my lips before he disappears. I sighed and sat with my back against the headboard and started sketching. I drew several pictures of Ryker, remembering each detail of the way he looked. I grinned and I got up to plug in the amp. I sit in a chair and start playing, my fingers fly across the strings. I'm playing a sorrowful melody and there's a knock at my door. I pursed m
Julith povNow with my fairy side restored, I no longer had to fear the realm king, I did however have assassins on my ass. I stayed in Mystrel's home, he insisted I stay in his magical barrier to keep safe. It only made me bored and anxious. I walked through the space chewing my lip. He had gone to visit with his relatives, Nyx and Sphinx, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I sat on his couch and exhaled harshly. This fucking sucks ass, I growl in my mind. I leaned back and rolled my eyes, this isn't how I expected my happily ever after to be. I was about to close my eyes when Ryker appeared before me. I looked up at him and noticed he looked sad."What's wrong with you," I mumble. He closed his eyes and sighed."My mate Quinn has found another and has claimed that he is his true mate," Ryker sighs sadly and rubs his face. I frowned, feeling awful for him. I stood and opened my arms to hug him. He grins slightly and wraps his arms around my waist. I felt him nuzzle my neck and then h
Mystrel pov I sensed Ozcar's dark magic. He was half fae and vampire and very ancient. I'm curious about why he's helping Roderick. I sent my feelers out to find his location. I see him in the states, Arizona as a matter of fact. I appeared at his home, Ozcar was sitting in a chair and suddenly smiled. I watched as his black eyes opened and centered directly on me. "Mystrel, what a pleasant surprise, I look forward to our upcoming battle," he grins with sharp fangs. I quickly opened my eyes and Ryker was just about to put his hand on my shoulder."Did you find it," he asked curiously. I nod my head and grimace."It was Ozcar, he's more hideous than I remembered," I mumble in disgust. I moved from under Julith and glanced at her peaceful face. "I'm going to go and confront him in the human realm, watch her for me, please Ryker," I sigh, and Ryker purses his lips. "Be careful, Ozcar is a master necromancer with the dark," he mumbles. I chuckle and pat his back."I'm very aware of th
Julith pov I wake refreshed, actually having a dreamless night of sleep. I sit up and stretch, looking around the room I'm in. I quickly jumped out of the bed and ran towards the glass wall to look at an amazing landscape, thick trees, a lake, and fields of wildflowers, it was beautiful. I smile and continue to search the room I'm in. I see several couches in an adjacent room and what looks like Mystrel asleep on one. My stomach rumbled and I frowned. I walked up to the sexy man and just stood there staring at him. He was shirtless and his chest muscles were very defined. He was cute with his white hair falling over his face and pointed ears. I grin, he's an elf, I hadn't noticed before. My stomach growls again and I bend over and shake his arm. Mystrel slowly opened his eyes and he grins seeing me."I'm hungry, do you have any blood bags," I question and he grins."No bags love, you may feed from me," he grins and tilts his head exposing his smooth skin to me. I pursed my lips and
Julith pov That night while I was sleeping I experienced horrible nightmares of the blonde seelie king coming and cutting off the heads of both Rodrick and me. I sat up quickly with tears in my eyes and my hands feeling around my neck."Are you alright sweetheart?" Rodrick sighed sleepily and wrapped his arms around me. I nodded and lay back down and snuggled into his embrace."Had a nightmare," I mumbled and he kissed my cheek."Dream of me and I'll protect you, love," he sighs and I drifted off to sleep, safe in my mate's arms and mind. The sun was shining brightly on us, I felt Rodrick sitting up."Morning creeper," He chuckles, stretching and I open my eyes. Zane is sitting in a chair watching us sleep, weird. "What is so important you feel the need to watch over me while I sleep Zane," Rodrick sighed sleepily, rubbing his eyes."King Flint has acquired several assassins to hunt the two of you, and they know about all your properties," Zane states solemnly. Rodrick exhaled hars
Julith pov I'm awakened by someone's touch on my face. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Rodrick's blue eyes glowing down at me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him happily. He pulled away and smiled."Good morning Zane," he chuckles and rolls off me. Zane looked at us both with a frown on his face."What's the matter now," Rodrick sighed."The seelie king and queen want you both dead, they are saying your existence is unnatural and goes against all that is of fairy," he mumbled disheartened. Rodrick chuckled, rubbing his eyes."How many times do I have to prove I'm worthy of my own existence," he sighs."Your mate shredded the unseelie prince's face and chest, he's also lost an eye, I'm sure this is all about that," Zane grins."Well the little shit brought it all on himself, he shouldn't have stabbed the man I love," I growled. Rodrick eyes me and beams at my confession of love for him."I'm not close to the unseelie king, queen, or the prince but I know that he has a ve
Julith pov After my wonderful time with my sexy hubby, I went back to my room to shower again. I opened my door and grabbed from behind. I screamed loudly and a hand covered my mouth. My room faded from my eyes and a brightness assaulted my vision. I'm super pissed and try to turn to see who is holding me. I'm released and Alaneo and Ryker smile at me."You fucking assholes, take me back now," I growl looking at both idiot men. Ryker raised his brow at me and Alaneo just grins."We saved you mate, now you and I can be together," Alaneo comments.I shake my head."I'm mated already to Rodrick, he's my husband and you two idiots just kidnapped me, I wish to speak with the unseelie king immediately," I growl low, eyeing them both. Alaneo looks at Ryker confused."I can still see a mate match between the both of you, I don't know what she's talking about," Ryker whispered into Alaneo's ear. I crossed my arms and scowled at Alaneo."Take me to the unseelie court now asshole," I mumble ang
Julith pov I can't believe the size of my rooms, it's truly amazing. I checked the closet and it was full of my band t-shirts and numerous blue jeans. My stomach rumbled loudly and I frowned. I chew on my bottom lip and head toward Rodrick's room. I knocked several times and there wasn't an answer so I opened the door and went inside. My eyes widened as I looked at all of my paintings of my mystery man covering dark plum walls. His rooms were dark plum, lavender, and gray colored. I see a couple of black leather chairs and a guitar leaning against one. No fucking way, it's a Stratocaster, my mouth dropped open and I run my hand across the black lacquer with blue flame artwork on the body, and inlaid opal on the neck. It was a beautiful guitar. I didn't see Rodrick so I lifted it to my arms and began playing it, the sound was amazing. I sat in the chair and lost myself in my music, as my fingers flew across the strings. I see movement in my peripherals and turn to see Rodrick in only
