[Axel]
Somewhere, in these woods, my son is huddled, in the dark and not quite alone. There is a monster lurking in these woods. I’m done as hell with monsters attacking my family.
Is Rosie worth it? Damn, straight she is.
Does that mean this doesn’t suck? Oh hell no. This sucks plenty.
Not knowing where my son is, knowing that our lives have become so dangerous that he isn’t safe in his own home, makes me angrier than I’ve ever been. It is taking all of my energy to NOT just transform into my wolf and let him lead until I find my son and gut whoever is responsible.
Now that I think about it, that isn’t a terrible idea.
“According to the vision
[Enchantra] I cannot go back to Victor like this. Broken, empty-handed with nothing to show for my efforts. Rosie is mine, but she also isn’t. She never really belonged to me. She was created by Victor to be something more than all of us. Which is probably why I kept myself from loving her. Even though I carried her in my body, it doesn’t mean she was ever really mine. I was merely the vessel. I knew who her architect was, the man who dreamed of her, who crafted her to be especially as she is. Victor. The Master. I knew I was overstepping over the years as I sampled her power, siphoning off a bit of her energy. She was so full, just bursting with life, and Victor visited me so rarely I could feel my body shrinking, fading away. So I took a little bi
[Gideon]I didn’t see her coming until it was almost too late.Esther came at us like a force out of hell, with nothing left to lose and nothing left to gain. Only pain and suffering remain for her, pain and suffering that I helped create. Thankfully, we were at least a little bit prepared for her, and with our fast thinking, Evander and I were able to cast a shield around us, using much of the power we had left in our reserves, trapping Axel in her with us too. That might not have been the best choice as he was our only means of fighting her physically, but in the heat of the moment, it seemed like the best option. We needed time to think, to regroup, and come up with a solution. He used the energy from his sword to create the shield, and I know it must be the last bit of magic within him. He’s had to tap his soul with a bit too much frequency in h
[Rosalynd] I blink awake. I’m in a dark room. The curtains are drawn to keep out the bright light of the full moon. I am surrounded by warmth, several arms and legs wrapped around me protectively in a warm pile. The last thing I remember is fighting my mother, who had turned into some kind of hideous beast, and falling to the ground after our spell went wrong. I am grateful that the room is dark because the pain in my head might be too great for sunlight. Taking a deep breath, I smell the earthy aroma of my mate, who I had been using as a pillow. I give his abs a little kiss, and he rolls into me subconsciously, snuggling into me, placing his face near his mark. I move to give him enough space and find a strong, fit, muscular body spooning me from behind. Unlike Axel who is li
[Rosalynd] “What haven’t you told me?” I hold my breath, waiting for the worst. “I’m not just a Fae lord,” he vaguely explains. “I’m a bit higher up on the food chain, so to speak.” “Like how high,” I laugh. “A Faerie duke? Prince?” I shake my head. “It doesn’t matter, does it? I already knew you are nobility. You've never hidden that.” “It kind of does matter,” he sighs. “Which is why I feel like I should apologize. I never fully explained why it was so important to find a bride. I need an heir. Not j
[Slone] The Master sent me for one last task before I headed down south to join him. We aren’t giving up on Rosie, not by a long shot, but Enchantra’s failure is making him reconsider his tactics. Either way, he needs me to “come home.” LA is the last place I want to be right now, I left LA intentionally to get away from all of my parent’s drama and the way that city made me feel desperate and alone. I’d rather stay here, among the redwoods--but the natural places are no longer home to one such as me. I took a different path, and now Mother Nature herself rejects my presence. So I have no choice but to return to the city of my birth, to the place where my Master waits to charm me and gift me with his strength. As long as I don’t have t
[Rosalynd]We landed on the floor of the main hall with a sickening slap of flesh against marble. Weak as he is, Evander was not quite able to control our descent. Our landing was a bit less graceful than expected, made worse by the fabric of the thin sheet wrapped around our legs.“Owwwww,” I groan as I try to move. “You could have given me a bit of warning. I might have grabbed a pillow!”“I’ll admit, I should have thought through this idea a bit more,” Evander moans as he picks himself up, his exquisite bare body naked to the room. “Rosie, what can you see?”“The inside of the sheet and your beautiful brown ass,” I groan as I rub my lower back with my hands.
[Axel] I give Evander and Rosie some time to rest and eat while I clean my house and get everything ready for the arrival of the entire coven. The house is lonely and quiet without Rafe and my father. I didn’t realize how hollow it would be without the two of them. My heart aches to see my son running down the stairs. Did Alexa feel like this for the year she was gone? Did she even care? I have a hard time believing she did, because if she did, why didn’t she ever call? Why didn’t she write a note? When I spoke with her on the phone, she told me it was because she was “paralyzed with shame and fear,” and “unsure of my reaction.” In other words, she didn&rsq
[Evander] I cannot believe she is here with me. I am the luckiest king in all Faerie. I do not need to see her to know she is stunning. I can feel her beauty in her soft hands and warm kisses. I can smell, taste and sense her perfection as I hold her, and she melts into me. When we arrived, I told Sir Raibeart to send out the call and gather the court. In less than 4 hours, the halls were filled, and the courtyard was ablaze with bonfires and music. It is not very often that a king presents his bride, so when he puts out a call to the entire Leprechaun Court to meet one, everyone answers the invitation. The last time a bride was brought home to Tara happened 400 years ago when my father claimed my
