Roisin pov We arrived at the castle and I was happy for my brother, he really seemed like a decent guy. We entered the interior similar to Torin's parent's home. Super gaudy. We entered the throne room and I shrank seeing Torin's father sitting next to my brother in conversation. "What's your dad's name?" I asked Torin. He looks at me quizzically. "Callon, why?" he asks. "I was wondering if my mother ever mentioned him but the name doesn't sound familiar," I frown up at him. "So you're both staying the night here, excellent," Callon grins, looking at us both. I shuddered at his strange eyes as they raked down on me. Torin scowls once again at his pervy father but Callon doesn't seem to mind. "I think I'll stay as well my boy," he grins at the king Finalon. "Wonderful father, he winks at his dad. My eyes grew suspicious at their odd behavior and my stomach got uneasy. I trusted my gut instinct. "Let's have a toast for your triumph at the games," Finalon grins as servants bring
Roisin pov After our fight, Torin suggested that we all head back to our forest homes. I rode the gray gelding behind the others since they could see better in the pitch black. I kept seeing a small black creature in my peripheral vision. I'd turn my head and it would disappear. I frowned, getting annoyed by the distraction. Kicking the sides of the horse to pick up speed I was shocked by the brush of cold fingers along my arm. I looked down and saw my arm hairs standing. I frown again and realize I'm further away from the others than I thought. I was about to yell when a hand covered my mouth. I tried turning myself and was pressed against the body of someone sitting behind me. "Calm yourself, it's Keran, I'm not going to harm you," his silky voice whispered in my ear, causing me to shiver. He removed his hand and I turned to look at him. He's smiling looking down at me. "Um hello, what are you doing," I scowl. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around my waist. He sets his chin on
Roisin pov I wake up the next day and see Torin still sleeping next to me. I smile and head to the bathroom to shower. I frown to myself thinking about what I had done with Keran. Should I tell Torin, I think chewing on my lip as the water flows down my body. I finished and dressed in black leather pants and a dark gray shirt. I head back into the room to brush out my hair. Torin was awake and eyeing me strangely. I look at him with my brow raised. "Your eyes look different, there is a yellow ring around them and there's also a black streak in your red hair," he mumbles angrily. I turned to the mirror and looked close. He was correct, I had a bright yellow ring around my green irises, it looked rather pretty and I grinned at my new eyes. My hair had an inch strand of black hair down the length. Torin comes and stands next to me. "You shared wine with a fairy prince, now you have the sight, not sure about the black hair, " he mumbles with a hint of disappointment. My eyes widen and I
Roisin pov I opened my eyes and looked around at the fog weaving through the thick trees. I wiped the drool from my mouth, embarrassed by the bad habit. I look at the wet spot on Keran's black shirt and cringe. He looks down at me and smiles. "It will dry dear," he smiles, his eyes shining down at me. I smile back, he wasn't an uppity ass like the elf. "Are we almost there," I mumble my butt sore. "Very close," Kern grins. I adjust my butt, switching off my sore cheek. "Would you like to stretch your legs," Keran asks and I nod. He spoke to the horse and it stopped. I shake my head in amazement. He jumps down and helps me to my feet. I stretched and realized I needed to go to the bathroom. "I need to go into the woods for a moment," I mumble, turning red. Keran opened his hand and gave me a few tissues. I grin happily and run into the woods to take care of business. When I returned Keran was sitting leaning against a tree, his eyes closed and a smile on his face. His long black ha
Roisin pov We went to bed after the chaos of the evening. I snuggled against Keran when the ring of a telephone broke into our slumber. I felt Keran as he rolled over to answer and his voice spoke harshly. I opened one tired eye and looked at the anger creasing his brow. "Fuck," he yelled slamming the phone down. "What is it now?" I yawn. "Torin's been released to the custody of his fucking brother the elf king," he growls rubbing his face. "Well fucking shit," I mumble sitting up. Keran looks at me and sighs. "We need to leave here and find a safe place, the elves will try and start a war with the unseelie," he mumbles disheartened. "Can we go to the human world?" I ask. "No, our child won't exist anymore if we did that," he sighs. "The court," I suggest. Keran shakes his head. "They will destroy everything unseelie and the Seelie would gladly help," he concluded sadly. I frown seeing the pain in his eyes. "I should have killed him," I frown bitterly. Keran chuckles and nods.
Roisin pov Keran and I spent a lovely night together telling each other our hopes and dreams for our future together. He shocks me still over his desire to see me happy as if he could ever disappoint me. I wake in the morning with a tray of breakfast fruit sitting on the side table and Keran grinning happily at me. "Good morning my soon-to-be wife," he grins, his dark eyes sparkling at me."Same to you, my sexy soon-to-be husband," I grin back. He moves the tray of food next to me on the bed and picks up a strawberry and bites into it slowly, the juice dribbles down his chin. I use my thumb to wipe it off and put it in my mouth to taste it. He gives me a sly grin and his eyes heated. "No time to play dear, we have a chaplain to meet with," I smirk at him, taking a berry and eating it whole. He nods and sets the tray back on the table and pulls me up into his lap. "My mother called already and is sending paperwork for you to sign," he says while placing kisses along my naked shoulde
Roisin pov We had traveled very far and were currently heading through a dark abyss of gnarled trees and rocky terrain. I could see glowing eyes watching us through the pitch darkness and shuddered. The horse wasn't fairing much better, Keran continually had to speak reassuring words to the spooked animal. He was undisturbed, knowing he was going to rule over them all one day. We were deep in unseelie land and the deeper we got the stranger the creatures became. We passed groups of large trolls that bowed and greeted us kindly. Dark fairies with leathery wings flew past and greeted us as well. I was amazed by all the new things I was seeing. Frogs with large tusks and multiple limbs strolled past on their back legs. We turned down a narrow cobblestone road and headed toward a large mound in the center of a blackened field. A moat of tar-like substance surrounded the stone mass. I spied a large black door and frowned."Does Axis live there?" I ask, and Keran nods. We felt a wave of ene
Roisin pov Keran lifted me into his arms. He held me close and spoke his words softly to me."Where to now king?" Axis grins. Keran shrugged his shoulders, he was exhausted as well. "My home, we all need rest for what's to come, '' he sighs, his eyes returning to normal. Axis nods and embraces us and we appear back in our foyer."You realize she is capable of doing this as well," Axis smirks. Keran chuckles and tells him to go sleep in any room he finds. He carries me to our room and lays me in bed, crawling next to me and passing out soon after.The morning sun shone brightly on my face, I was having peaceful dreams and didn't want to wake up to the reality of what happened. I frowned and crinkled my nose, as something kept tickling it. I brushed the annoyance away and felt lips pressed against mine. I opened my sleepy eyes to see Keran grinning at me."Good morning my queen," he smiles."There's nothing good about it," I mumble and roll over to feel his fingers tracing my queen's 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
