Adria povForgive me Nyx, I say in my mind as I open my arms, and blinding light spreads across the landscape disintegrating all the dark energy. All the unseelie fell to the ground including the king, I'd brightened their darkness with my surge of light. The seelie fae were unaffected by the light, they consisted of it."What the fuck was that female," Axis growls, eyeing me, sitting next to a prone Keran."They are ok, only a little light got put into their dark unseelie souls," I sigh, laying back on the ground drained. The unseelie started to rise, their eyes glowed brightly. Nyx sat down beside me with a grin on his face."You're amazing Adria," he chuckles, looking around."Thanks for the use of part of your soul" I smirked. "It's all yours sweetheart," he grins at me.King Keran looked over at us and smiled."Glad you are well, mate of Elderon," he nods at me, as he gets up off the ground."Mate, what is that about," I mumbled confusedly. Nyx just chuckles and pecks my cheek
Adria pov I stretched the morning sun shone brightly in Nyx's room and was a natural alarm clock. I gaze over at Nyx and his arm is laying over his face. I poke his side with my finger and his arm slides down. His eyes are looking at me."I need clothes and coffee," I half grin and he smiles."Right away love," he grins."I'm going to shower first," I smile back and hurry my naked self to his bathroom. When I head to his shower I frown, there are no knobs to turn on the water. I sigh and peek around the door at the bed."Um Nyx, how do I turn on the water," I ask curiously. He laughed and waved his hand. I could hear the shower running. I shake my head, he relies too much on his magic for mundane things. I jumped under the waterfall-type shower and washed using the products Nyx uses to scrub. He walked in and stood and watched me. I turned and jumped, shocked by him standing there."Fucking pervy elf man," I cursed, my heart racing from getting frightened. He shakes his head and wave
Nyx pov The further Adria and I ventured into the forest, the more I felt him. My father was indeed responsible for this darkness. I can't believe Adria figured that out so quickly yet had not sensed the darkness my soul carries. She only sees the light which is confusing to me. I glance down at her and her markings are glowing brightly. Her eyes meet mine and she grins slightly. I squeeze her hand reassuringly, knowing she can sense my father surrounding us. I stopped and waited for him to make his appearance known.Adria pov I'm glad Nyx appears unconcerned about his father. When he stopped I looked up at him and could see his eyes glowing brightly. A loud chuckle sounded around us and a tall dark man in a black cloak appeared in front of us. He pulled his hood back, long black hair tumbled around a gaunt tattooed face with bright red eyes. He grinned showing fangs."Son, what an unpleasant surprise," he spoke in a gritty manner. It raked against my skin causing goosebumps. He hel
Nyx pov My brain blanks as I see my love disappear before my eyes. I know instantly my father has taken her. My fear turns to deadly anger and I feel the darkness push out Adria's light. I'm one of the dark now. My hair whipped around me and I opened my hand and a black staff appeared, topped with a glowing purple orb. I'm dressed in complete black, all golden colors gone. I frown and transport to the unseelie court and appear in front of Keran and Axis."Fuck," Axis mumbles eyeing me, his mouth gaping."What happened, Elderon," Keran questions softly."Elderon is gone, I am now just Nyx and I need assistance to retrieve my female from Spiro," I growl low causing both men to shiver. Axis growls and steps towards me and offers his hand."I will help you, but the king cannot, he doesn't weld the right magic," Axis stated, eyes on Keran. I nodded, I knew this and a sword was worthless against my father. "Let's go get your mate back, Nyx," Axis grins, always ready for a fight, his heart
Adria pov I snuggled against Nyx, he's surprisingly super warm. I feel him press his hand against my back and pull me closer to his body. I wrapped my arms around him and smiled feeling his lips pressed against my forehead."This bed is very comfortable, great job love," he chuckles. "Thanks, Nyx," I laughed. It was early morning, I could see sunlight barely shining on the horizon."Could you teach me how to do that disappearing trick today?" I ask with a grin on my face. Nyx chuckles and nods. "Great I'm going to get ready," I smile and head to the bathroom to shower."Do you need clothes, Adria?" Nyx yelled."Yes love," I replied and smiled seeing clothing appear on the counter. My elf was such a nice man. I continued to smile as I washed my hair and scrubbed my body. After finishing and dressing in the pretty clothes I head down to the kitchen, for my first lesson. Nyx hands me a hot coffee and doughnut and sits at the table eyeing me over the rim of his cup. I question him with
Axis pov Axis ran his hands through his black and red streaked hair and glanced across the landscape with his single good eye. Being a nine-foot-tall Scottish unseelie fairy made venturing into the human realm a tedious chore. He would have refused but his best friend Keran, the unseelie king had asked him for the favor of collecting wildflowers from the American state of Montana. Why he wanted them he didn't know, nor had he asked. He had used his glamor to change his height to a more realistic six and a half feet, his hair to a deep auburn, and his one eye a shade of green. He kept his eyepatch, liking the way it made him look like the hardened warrior he was. He realized he had appeared in the middle of a cattle field. He scowled at the skittish beasts. There was a large two-story ranch house in the distance next to a small lake, he grins, spying a woman hanging laundry on a clothesline. She was tall for a woman and appeared to have a solid muscular body. The fairies were a promis
McKenna pov I finished the rest of the rooms early in the morning. After last night the strong coffee helped get me motivated. Now I just needed to fill the vacancies and then I could afford hiring help. It was tempting to take Axis's offer but I didn't like owing anyone and would accomplish it on my own. Breakfast time had passed and the strange man hadn't shown up, it made me frown, I enjoyed having company. I fed the chickens and collected eggs. Glancing up at my patio I see Axis asleep in one of my patio chairs. I shook my head and laughed softly, apparently he couldn't handle alcohol well. I head indoors to clean the kitchen and wash dishes. I felt a presence and turned around to see Axis, his long hair disheveled and wearing the same clothes as last evening."Rough night?" I chuckle and he frowns at me."Can I eat or is it too late?" he yawned. I grabbed his arm and led him to the table."I'll make an exception this one time," I grin and get him a hot coffee. I set it before hi
McKenna pov I stretched my legs and glanced over at the large man sleeping soundly next to me. He had amazing stamina for a 300-year-old man. I grin and roll to my side to gaze at him. I thought he was attractive, even his disability suited him. I'm grinning and see his one eye watching me. He smiled and rolled towards me. "I love you, McKenna," he sighs and pecks my lips. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Love you too old man," I chuckle, pecking his nose. He started tickling my sides. "I'll show you old lass," he smirks, assaulting my sides with his fingers. I was laughing so hard tears were falling from my eyes. He glances down at my nude body and grins devilishly. "Again?" I grin with my brow raised. He nodded and proceeded to please me once again. My body was humming with contentment, Axis was a very thorough lover. I smile and head to my shower."We need to finalize our plans, love," Axis grins and I nodded, turning on the warm spray. He sauntered in and joined m
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
