Albwin woke suddenly to the sounds of commotion outside his room. He jumped out of bed glad that he always slept fully dressed when he was away, call it professional awareness, or just thinking ahead. He made his way to the door and listened carefully trying to figure out the cause of the amount of noise in the hallway. He got a bad feeling as he pressed his ear against the hardwood.

“That’s the scout's room, collect him and bring him to me.” He heard a gruff and angry voice call out.

Albwin double-checked the door’s locks and backed away quietly. He snatched up his pack which he always kept ready and threw it over his shoulder as he made his way to the window. He paused only a moment as he listened. The wolves banged on his door loudly calling for him to answer. He knew they wouldn’t wait long before getting the keys to unlock it, or simply just breaking it down. He opened the window quietly and slipped out.

He had already scouted a quick exit when he first got assigned his room a

    Torin had no idea what time it was, but he guessed it was early morning. He still sat in the same position on his bunk staring into the wall. He knew wolves shared a mental connection with their mates and he had been trying all night to connect with Ember. He knew it was a long shot since they had barely had a chance to grow their bond let alone mate. He knew Ember would have to bite him and the thought sent delicious tingles through his body. He had never in his wildest dreams thought he would find the idea of being bitten so sexy, erotic even, but the idea of Ember's lips on his skin and her teeth piercing the crook of his neck to forever claim and mark him as her own, to create a connection stronger and deeper than any other was enough to fulfil his every desire. His thoughts never strayed far from her. His heart was aching at the wild thoughts that would run through his head, where was she? What were they doing to her? This was how his mind had been running all night his thoughts

  • Her Fae Prince    Alone

    Ember growled in frustration as she broke another nail, biting back a curse she stuck her finger in her mouth. Ember had spent the last few hours scouring over every nook and cranny in this goddess-forsaken hut. All she had been able to find out is that she was stuck in a one-room shack since she could hear forest noises outside every wall. She started trying to find a loose floorboard or a nail anything she could use to help her escape. Artemis had been pacing and growling in her head trying to burn through the wolfsbane. Ember had finally found a nail sticking up just a tiny bit and was slowly trying to work it out of the floorboard. If she could get it out she was hoping she could use it to break the lock or use it to loosen up a floorboard, or even just as something sharp to stab an enemy with, but even after an hour she had only managed to lift it the tiniest bit and she had broken two nails and made the tips of her fingers bruised and bloody for the effort. Scowling she gave up,

  • Her Fae Prince    Getting Out

    “So which of you is Archie and which of you is Callum?” Torin asked looking at the twins. He didn’t think he would ever be able to tell them apart. One just raised his eyebrow and followed Clary out not saying a thing. “So you must be Callum!” Torin smiled at him and he grunted folding up the map and sticking it in his back pocket. “Let’s go we are meeting Archie in twenty minutes we need to get weapons and off the grounds without being caught.” Callum started waking before he even finished talking and Torin stayed close on his heels. They went up the stairs and Callum opened the door carefully and looked around. The hallway was empty, he slipped out and walked into the door just up the hall, not waiting to make sure Torin followed. Just as he was about to slip into the room behind Callum he heard a low whistle making him stop, a flash of light caught his eye and another door in the hallway opened just a crack. Torin pointed at the door Callum went into and motioned to come along t

    “My Darling, you smell divine. What has you so — aroused.” His eyes flashed again and she saw his fangs gleam as he grinned staring at her as he took another step toward her. She took a step back for every step forward he made. The chase only made his eyes glow deeper and his smile widen. Ember felt like her heart would beat out of her chest.“Not you, trust me on that. I was just thinking about how my True Mate would rip you to pieces.” Ember growled out the last part, she hoped to sound intimidating but apparently, he only found it amusing as he threw his head back and laughed.“Darling, you bare no mating mark, and you do not smell of another. You aren’t mates yet. Which means you can survive a new bond. I was supposed to trade you back, but the more time I spend with you, the more I want you for my own. You know, it only hurts at first.” He moved in a flash and slammed

    Torin was lost in thought as he and Archie trudged through the forest toward the last place Ember was known to be. He couldn’t help but think of everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours and his heart ached. He suddenly realized that he must be feeling the effects of the bond already. He hadn’t spent this much time away from Ember since the moment they first met in the garden only a few days ago, and it was starting to take its toll. He missed her, he missed her more than anything. When he got her back he wouldn’t be letting her out of his sight ever again. He had never in his entire life been one of those clingy emotional guys, in fact, he usually rolled his eyes at them, not anymore. They had walked for an hour and still weren’t at the waterfall. “I thought this waterfall was an hour from the pack.” Torin raised his eyebrow at Archie who had said nothing the entire time. “It’s an hour's run. In wolf form. Walking like this it will take us closer to four hours t

    It didn’t take long for Archie and Albwin to clear out and mess up the tracks. Albwin even added some masking spray to some areas to hide that they had already been there, to add to the confusion. They were only there for twenty minutes at most even though it felt like a lifetime before they were on their way again. Callum was a lot more talkative than his twin and he asked Torin about the Fae Realm and how he liked being in the human realm. They made easy conversation and Torin knew Callum was trying to help distract him, which he was thankful for. Callum told him the ruins were four hours for a wolf so that meant it could take them eight to ten hours at their current speed. He was glad they were moving at a quick jog through the forest this time, only stopping occasionally to check a mark Albwin would point out through the speech spell.They travelled easily for four hours before they agreed to take a short stop for water and regroup. Archie caught up to them and Albwin came back. A

    They had alternated between trot, walk, and canter through the forest until they came out onto what looked to be an old road, where they continued at a steady pace. Her butt was sore by the time they reached their destination. Sitting side saddle was not comfortable let alone trying to stay as far from Quinten as possible while sitting on his lap—on a horse. Most of the ride was a one-sided conversation. Lord Quinten finally introduced himself saying she should know his name now that they were to wed. The thought made her want to throw up. She started out constantly squirming hoping he would slip up and she could slide off the horse and run. Artemis wasn’t strong enough to shift, but she couldn't help but try to escape anyways. She couldn't just lie down and submit, it’s not who she is. She did stop though after Quinten threatened to bite her just to subdue her. He chuckled when she stopped immediately. “Too bad I was hoping you would keep struggling for me.” He had told her as he re

    Quiten winked and walked toward the door, he stopped in the doorway and turned to her once more as if he had forgotten to say something, “I expect you to be dressed and ready for our meal in one hour, Liam will escort you to the private dining room.” And with that, he walked out slamming the door behind him, a soft click was heard as he locked it once more. Ember sat on the ground and put her head in her hands trying to calm the storm of emotions. Deep breaths, calming slow deep breaths. Let’s look around to see if there is anything we can use for our escape, Artemis suggested trying to snap Ember out of her thoughts. Ember nodded and took a few more calming breaths before standing again and taking in the room more carefully. There was a plush lounge chair in the corner beside the curtains with a small table beside it and a lamp, and a small bookshelf lined with books beside that. In the other corner was a dark wooden desk and a comfortable-looking chair in front of it. Ember went to

    Albwin led their rag-tag group back out into the woods as they helped one another to move as fast as they possibly could toward safety. Some of the rescued were crying in disbelief as they stumbled their way through the forest clinging to each other. Torin suddenly stopped as he muffled a yell, a sharp pain in his hip had him gasping for breath, the girl he was helping gave him a concerned look. Ember!“I have to go back. Ember’s been hurt!” Torin gave Albwin a conflicted look but he simply nodded in understanding as he doubled back and took the girl's arm from Torin’s shoulder helping her to reposition.“Go, we got them.” Lettie motioned with her free arm toward herself, Albwin, and the two trackers who flanked them.“Don’t stop, get them as far away as possible.” Torin hesitated torn between finishing his task or going to Ember.“Come, they can handle this group. Let’s go join the fight.” Archie grinned evilly and headed back in the direction they had come from. They hadn’t been tr

    Ember’s mind raced as she tried to come up with a plan. She knew if she tried to take him out now his coven would open fire, but what could she do to buy more time? Quinten watched her with a slight grin on his face as if he could read her mind and found it amusing, yet his eyes swirled with hunger. She suppressed the shiver she felt at his gaze. “What are you thinking my Darling? Have you finally come to the realization that there is only one way out of this?” His grin grew as he held out his hand beckoning her to go to him as his tongue slid across his bottom lip. “It will be much more pleasant for everyone if you come of your own free will Darling. Only a few will get hurt. Eventually, everyone will adjust to our new world.” Quinten’s tone made him sound like a fanatic as his eyes grew bright. What if we pretend to go with him and then attack when his guard is down? Artemis suggested. No, I think he will expect something like that. We need to outthink him, I’m just afraid I don

  • Her Fae Prince    What's Going on Here?

    It wasn’t long before they both slipped around the corner, breathing heavily. Lettie had a small cut on her cheek but she didn’t seem to notice, her eyes were bright with excitement as they both nodded, confirming their side was cleared. Albwin and Lettie took up position guarding the door so they could keep it clear for their escape. With a last look around Archie eased the door open just enough for them to squeeze through. Torin had to blink a couple of times to adjust his sight, they were in a long dark hallway barely lit by small pocket lights placed every few feet down the wall. Torin could just make out the sounds of a whizzing hum and the beeping of machines coming from somewhere deeper in the building. It didn’t look much like a stable anymore from the inside, the vampires had converted it into some sort of facility. The hallway had three doors, two along one side and one at the very end which seemed to be where the beeping was coming from. Archie walked to the first door and

  • Her Fae Prince    A Little Chaos

    Torin had to fight his own self-conscious over and over again as he walked away from Ember, each step felt like he was ripping himself in two and he couldn’t help glancing back in the direction they had come from. He had a bad feeling about leaving Ember’s side. He had only just gotten her back and now they were both walking into a very dangerous situation—again. Separated from each other—again. It took everything Torin had not to turn around, march back to her, take her in his arms and never let her go. Ever. He caught himself gently rubbing his new mating mark as he thought, gentle sparks tickling his skin, it was both soothing and calming knowing it meant he was forever connected to Ember. He thought it was going to hurt a lot more to be bit by her, but after the initial sting, it was almost erotic. It was the most intense feeling he had ever experienced and if they hadn’t been in the middle of the forest surrounded by wolves with very sensitive hearing he would have taken her rig

  • Her Fae Prince    Change of Plans

    Torin and Albwin’s group left first, silent as shadows melting into the trees. They needed to be in place before Ember’s group got there. Ember felt her heart wrench as she watched Torin slip away with a last glance back at her, she felt a swell of love as he blew her a kiss before disappearing out of sight. She knew this was how it had to be but it didn't make it any easier. Ember closed her eyes and took a deep breath getting her emotions under control before she turned back to her group and nodded, it was almost time for them to move out. Ember sighed and tried not to glare as four warriors approached her with Caleb and Derrick in their firm grip. Thankfully someone had given Caleb and Derrick shorts so they wouldn't be trekking through the woods naked, Ember had had to put her Alpha command over them forcing their cooperation. She didn’t like doing it, she felt like she was abusing her power but Callum told her that's what made her a strong leader. She shouldn’t like it, but she'

    Half an hour later, Ember’s group along with Lettie and Angus, the wolf who stood up to talk for the warriors, huddled around a small campfire with a map laid out beside them as they finalized their plans. Torin stayed as close to Ember as possible as they kept absently reaching for one another, craving each other's touch. The more they touched the more it was driving Ember mad. She wished she could take him somewhere and finally have some time with him, but now was not the time or place. They both knew it, Artemis sulked in Ember’s mind. “Ok, so if we send the main group to attack the front like he’s expecting then we send a second group to attack the back on the other side to make it look like we are trying to surround him.” Archie drew x’s on the map to show the spots he was talking about. “That should distract them enough to turn their attention away from this barn. Are you sure this is where he's keeping them?” Archie looked to Ember. “I’m almost positive, I could smell wolf whe

    “Shit, you guys run. If I stay with Lettie I can try to talk down the warriors—reveal the truth.” Ember looked at the others, she didn’t want them hurt because of her. This was turning into a bigger mess than she ever imagined. “No, we won't leave you, Luna.” Archie growled out first, followed closely by the others.“I second that.” Callum raised an eyebrow as if to say how could she think it, as Albwin just crossed his arms. Torin didn’t even shift a muscle still standing strong with his arm holding her close. “Love, we won't leave you to face this alone. Perhaps Lettie can link the pack though, telling them to wait and listen?” Torin suggested. Lettie gasped and looked like she was about to face-palm herself as her eyes glazed slightly. After a moment she focused back on them again. “I don’t know how many listened. Caleb tried to cut me off, but I am sure I piqued some interest.” Lettie sighed as she turned and bowed in front of Ember and Torin as well. “I’ll stand with you, my L

  • Her Fae Prince    Lettie

    Ember was following Albwin through the forest talking with Artemis about how they were going to save the supers when the wind shifted. She stopped in her tracks lifting her nose to the air and letting the most amazing and comforting scent wash over her. Mate—Torin. Ember and Artemis both thought together and before she even realized it, her feet were moving again launching her towards the one person in the world she needed to see right that minute. She burst into a small clearing surrounded by bushes and saw him, the moon's glow illuminating his soft features. His head shot up and turned towards her their eyes meeting seconds before she threw herself in his arms knocking him over. “Ember…” Torin’s voice came out as a cracked whisper, that one word was filled with so much emotion she felt something click into place deep inside of her. Torin sat up pulling her onto his lap as she shifted so her knee’s where on either side of him straddling him, their eyes met once again, Torin smiled

    “Well hello, Luna.” Albwin was engulfed in a hug and pulled inside the room quickly. Ember glanced outside and pulled the curtains shut most of the way.“You shouldn’t be here!” She whispered as her eyes darted to the door leading into the castle. “Where’s Torin?” Albwin rolled his eyes. -Luna? Did I just hear you say— Hello, Luna?— Did you find Ember, is she okay? Is she hurt?- Torin’s voice sounded off inside Albwin’s ear. That was one of the flaws of the speech spell. You couldn’t pick and choose what the other person hears when you speak, and Torin talked a lot. “Torin is ok Luna, he’s with the Gamma Twi—” Ember held her finger to her mouth and pointed to the door, indicating someone was on the other side. He nodded and leaned in closer whispering next to her ear. “They are just out of range of the vampires on patrol. What’s going on here, why are they so heavily armed, are they expecting the wolves? — Yes Torin I found her she seems to be in decent shape.” Ember gave him a weir
