The full translations and pronunciations in Chapter 29 are: Sskíatokos is pronounced (sskee-ah-tokos), with the stress on the middle syllable. selēnítēs líthos is pronounced (seh-leh-nee-tes lee-thos), with the stress in selēnítēs falling on the third syllable and the stress in líthos falling on the first syllable. Phytophagos Ophis is pronounced (fuh-toh-pah-gos oh-fees) with the stress in Phytophagos falling on the second syllable and the stress in Ophis falling on the first syllable. Please note: There has been a change to one of the character's names. Originally, I called him Lysander, but in keeping with the Ancient Greek language, his name has become Lysandros, pronounced (Lü-sahn-dros) with the stress on the second syllable. The "y" sound represents the Greek letter upsilon (υ), which is similar to the "u" in "put." The "d" is pronounced like in English. Earlier chapters are being proofread again, and the names are being updated. So far, the second proofreading is complete
Tyler's Point of ViewWe had battled two of those monsters so far. Even though we had a solid tactic for taking them down, I was hoping there would be no more. At least the area was clear of that opaque mist that heralded us being attacked by those aberrations straight out of our nightmares.With the sky clear, Lysandros could gauge the direction we needed to travel. He aimed away from the border and used the sun to keep in a consistent direction. He explained that this sun wasn't an actual burning star like our realm.This sun was magically created by Selene and Helios, two of the Gods and Goddesses in this realm, to give light and heat. At night, if we looked up, we wouldn't see any stars. We would, of course, see the moon, which had cycles just as if we were in the human realm. It was created this way as a way of telling the passing of days. I had so many questions about this realm, but it would have to wait another day.As for Thorn, he still wanted to conserve his powers just in

Avril's Point of View Once we reached Dásos tou Phōtós, which meant Forest of Light, Lysandros was a lot more confident in his directions. He projected confidence, and everyone else would have believed him, but I had known him for a long time. He had been worried, and not just about the border breach. Lysandros was correct; it took us about an hour to meet up with the warriors. The clearing they were guarding was where we were to have ported initially. I noticed that there were two warriors on the ground by a tree, and they looked like they were asleep. The rest were spread out around the clearing. "Chaírete, Naúarche, perimenoúmen hōs ekeleusas, allà ékhomen sovara néa," said one of the warriors to Lysandros. "We will speak the common language of humans," he commanded. "Sorry, Captain, we have some grave news," the warrior responded. "Explain!" The warrior stated that two other warriors known to them arrived here yesterday and started attacking them. The warriors were subdued

Avril's Point of ViewHeat? What did Tyler mean by heat? I knew I was feeling an intense heat. It enveloped me as if an invisible flame danced beneath my skin. Waves of warmth surged through my veins, igniting a fervour that seemed to echo in the very core of my being."What? How?" asked Thorn. "She's not a Wolf-Shifter. She shouldn't be going through heat, should she?""Well, there are documented incidents of humans who have mated with wolves and have gone into heat, but other than you, we have no information as to whether Fae go into heat," answered Daemon.Well, obviously, Fae do go into heat when mated with Wolf-Shifters. I was the case in point. Anything they said after that was lost to me. The surge of physical and emotional sensations was all-consuming."Enough chatter!" Tyler said forcefully. "I need to get her out of here before she goes into full heat, and I have all the unmated warriors fighting over her. Not to mention, I have no idea how unmated Fae males will react.""Oh
Tyler's Point of View After making it into the palace and initially breaking her heat, we ended up in the shower, against the bathroom door, on the bed, and back in the shower before we finally collapsed into an exhausted sleep for the night. When I woke up the next morning, Avril was still asleep. It wouldn't be long before she would awaken, so I got dressed to search for some food. We would need our energy for when the next wave of her heat would hit. As luck would have it, a tray full of food was outside the apartment door. Even better, the quantity of food suggested that either Daemon, Adriana or Thorn had arranged it. I brought the tray back into the main room and set it on the table. There wasn't any sound coming from the bedroom, so I took the opportunity to tidy up the room in case someone entered. I didn't think Avril would like anyone else to see her strewn undergarments. On hearing Avril shift in bed, I went in to see her. She was relaxed, almost as if she wasn't in hea
Avril's Point of View "Make me cum, screaming your name," I demanded Tyler. We were on day two of my first heat, and by the Gods and Goddesses, this mate of mine knew how to pleasure me. He had nipped, licked and bitten his way from my mate mark to my pussy. Now he was busy licking and sucking my clit, and I just wanted him to fuck me already. Tyler was turning me into an insatiable beast, and I was sure it wasn't just the heat. His touch alone was like wildfire, and sex? He was so good that I couldn't get enough of him. "Damn it!" I cried. "I need you in me now!" Sure, he could make me cum just from his mouth alone, but I wanted... No. I needed him inside me. The urge to mate was driving that. Tyler grabbed my hips and lifted them enough so they were on the same level as his shaft. Kneeling on the edge of the bed, he fitted himself at the entrance before entering me with one quick movement. It was so deep and hard that I screamed his name. "Tyler!" "I have you screaming my na
