It took another forty-five minutes to get to the castle. I was ready to get out and stretch when Conri parked the vehicle. I got out and started stretching by lifting my arms over my head and standing on my tiptoes. Then I started bending to either side, and I heard a growl. I giggled and said, "Is that my mate?" He walked up behind me, wrapped his arms around my waist and picked me up. He put me down and I turned to face him, "I was just stretching, from sitting for so long. Okay?" He smiled, "But I loved the view. I didn't want anyone else enjoying the view." I smiled and said, "I will try to keep my public stretching to a minimum. But I will be stretching with the warriors when I train them. I am already marked. From what Trina told me, they already know I can kick their asses too." Conri laughed and said, "Your warriors must have told mine about your fighting styles." I nodded and said, "Trina wants to learn." He said, "All the warriors will learn." I laughed, 'That's exactly wh

Conri and I were in our room, and I thought of something that I really needed to do... like, now. I said, "I need to go back and see Queen Eden and Queen Lakelyn." Conri said, "Why?" I said, "This is my chance to find out how to reach the Fae high court and the leaders of the fairies and Centaurs." He said, "Well, let's go." We walked back to the sitting room and they were still visiting with Queen Nina. I walked into the room, and sat by Queen Nina. I said, " I have a question for you ladies, and I'm really hoping you can help me." Queen Eden said, "You are continuing your mother's quest to unite species, aren't you?" I smiled and said, "I am. I would like to meet with the Fae High Court, the leader of the Fairies, and the leader of the Centaurs. I believe all of them would be powerful allies." Queen Eden said, "I can definitely take you to the Fae High Court. Just know that they are not easily persuaded, and they are very stuck on status. You will need to have something pr
Convel laughed as he got up and said, "I would love to see this new fighting style you are going to teach us." I said, "I can do that. The ceilings in here are higher, I'm going to have some real fun." Convel looked scared as I motioned for Conri to approach. I got to his ear and whispered, "When he looks comfortable, grab one of his ankles to distract him." Conri smiled and whispered in my ear, "You're making me want you more." I laughed and said, "I want you too. Let's wear these guys out so we can have some time for us." He smiled and said, "You sound like they're our kids. Kinda makes me want to put a pup or two in you." I waggled my eyebrows at him and said, "Who said I would have a problem with that?" He laughed as I said to Convel, "Okay. Ready?" He got in a defensive position, and I levitated us about five feet off the floor. He yelled, "WHOA!" I said, "You're fine. Start sparring. I was throwing punches, just to kill time until he got comfortable. He started getting more co
Conri and I walked into the castle, and I was still furious. Conri said, "Why don't we eat dinner, then we can take mom and dad into dad's conference room and call your dad from there." I stopped and put my hand on Conri's cheek. I said, "If there is one thing you need to know about me, it's this; when I get this mad, I can't eat. I need to punch or kick something or someone. You go ahead and eat. I'm going to work out some aggression, so that I don't take it out on someone who doesn't deserve it." He smiled and said, "Damn, my badass mate and her ways. Will I ever get used to them? Probably not, but I will have fun trying." I laughed, "I'm going to change and go to the gym. I will let you know when I'm done." He kissed me gently and said, "I would love to eat you; I mean with you this evening. Try to make it quick?" My thighs clench tight at his purposeful slip-up and I said, "I will try. You don't want me staying this angry; I promise." He said, "Okay. I will let you work it out."
Conri and King Fenris laughed as I said, "Beyond pissed. I took the ladies who are guarding me, and we went to my new gym. By the way, thanks for that dad. I've already knocked Conri's brothers on their asses." Mom and dad laughed as I said, "I think you guys are going to be safe. For some reason, they are after me." Mom said, "Unfortunately, I think this may be another one of your trials." I said, "Well, tomorrow, I am meeting with the leader of the Centaurs to form an alliance. Queen Eden has told me that she can take me to meet the Fae High table and Queen Lakelyn has offered to take me to meet the Queen of the Fairies." Mom said, "When you get to the Fairies and the Fae, call on Selene. They will want that sign of status." I said, "That's what I was thinking too." We all decided that the four guards around me is plenty, but they would also stay around me when I'm with Conri. There would be a minimum of four warriors guarding our wing at all times, and two more who stayed
I smiled at him and said, "It doesn't matter. It's done now. Killing them isn't going to undo what happened to me. Plus, every single thing that I went through, led me right here. For that, I am more than grateful." King Fenris said, "That's the best way to look at it. I have tried to tell my boys that exact thing, but I guess I never thought to put it that way. I have just always told them that every moment we are alive is a blessing." I said, "That's true. I could've been killed more times than I care to count since around fourth grade. I even considered trying to kill myself a couple times, but my mom talked to me. She went through the same stuff I did, only worse. Her school was a human school, so she couldn't fight back without letting everyone know that she's a werewolf. At least I was able to fight back, and my parents backed me up on it. I also had Chloe, Nico and Seth. They were always my best friends." Conri smiled and said, "I'm glad you see it that way, but I wou
I woke up, looked at the clock, and it was my usual five am internal alarm. For some reason, it doesn't matter how late I stay up, I never sleep later than five am. Well, except yesterday morning. I tried to just get out of bed, but I was held down by a huge arm that was flung over my ribs. I chuckled as I lifted it gently, to be able to get out of bed, without waking my mate. I put my pillow in my place as I went to the bathroom and got ready for the day. After putting my hair in a high ponytail and brushing my teeth, I went into the closet and put on a pair of black leggings and a black sports bra. I put on my black Nikes and walked out of our bedroom. I went to the kitchen first, and got a cup of coffee, then went to the gym to sip my coffee and wait for King Fenris. It was only five-thirty, so I knew I had some time to just chill and ease into my day. I did my stretches and then I stepped out of the gym, and noticed my guards are there. I invited them in, and Trina
As I was training the warriors, I noticed Conri trying to do some of the moves that I was teaching the warriors. I paired up with Conri and started showing him the proper technique. I moved to strike him, and he dodged it by leaning backward and then turning to grab me from behind. He yelled, "Warriors dismissed!" as he threw me slightly into the air and turning me around to face him, then threw me over his shoulder. I started kicking and acting like I was struggling, although I really did like this playful side of him. He took me into the castle and continued carrying me like that until we were in our bedroom. He took me in the bathroom and stood me next to the shower. He turned on the shower and turned to me. I could see the hunger in his eyes as he took off my sports bra. I took off his shirt and started running my hands along his muscles. Damn I love doing this! He has the perfect body and he's all mine. He took my shoes off of me, then my leggings. On his way up,
I started looking at my guards, and Trina was the one who was sniffing the air. She turned around and smiled as a very handsome Centaur approached her. He picked her up bridal style and said, "Mate." Trina put her hand on his cheek, and she smiled as she said, "Mine." I said, "Well, that's why you never found your mate, Trina, he was all the way up here!" King Chiron laughed and said, "Zughar is one of our best warriors, and he will now be one of yours." Zughar looked at him in disbelief. Zughar bowed and said, "Thank you, your majesty." King Chiron said, "Not long ago, we had a drifter find his way here and his mate was here. I would not let her leave, because I had a bad feeling about him. I was right. He tried to kill her when she wouldn't sleep with him on the first night. He is no longer living." I said, "You have my full support on that decision. Any man who will hit a woman, outside of training or battle, doesn't deserve to live." He smiled and said, "I knew I would like you.
