"Answer me, Lindsey."

I was startled by the firmness of his voice. Was he angry at me for avoiding him? I didn't think he'd care.

"I wasn't avoiding you," I said meekly.

"Oh, you weren't. I think you are lying to me. Are you lying to me, Lindsey?" he said and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

"I just...I just thought it wouldn't be proper to be seen with you all the time. But, since I was planning on marrying your brother," I mustered the courage to tell him the truth.

"Is that so? So you are marrying Adrian, after all," Alvis said grimly. His face had a dark shadow over it, as if the news upset him.

"He took me on a date and proposed today," I said.

"And you said yes?" Alvis asked.

"I said yes."

Alvis looked away the let out a deep sigh. Alright, Lindsey. Do as you wish. You are a big girl, so you can make your own decisions. If you think Adrian is the right person for you, then so be it. I wish you a happy life with him.

"And you?" I blurted out.

Alvis raised an eyebrow. "What

    Alvis POVMy father summoned me right before the party, so I headed to his office."There you are. There's something I wanted to tell you," he said."Well, I'm here now. Is there something wrong?" I asked."No, of course not. Nothing's wrong. And I don't want you to be late to the party, but I figured I'd warn you before you arrive there." my father grinned.I tilted my brows. "Warn me. About what?""Well. The alpha of the Mercury pack contacted me and said he was looking for a prospect," dad said.I was still confused, so I looked at him questioningly. Why was my father speaking in riddles?"He has a young daughter who has just now turned 18. And he's looking for a mate for her. So I told him that you were also looking for a mate," dad said.Now I knew where he was going with it. He was trying to set me up with some girl. Oh great. The last thing I needed was to be set up by my parents. "Dad, I told you I'm not looking for a bride.""Don't be stubborn, Alvis. You can't be alone forev

    LindseyI couldn't take my eyes off Alvis and that woman as they waltzed around the floor. It set my teeth on edge, and the butterflies in my stomach had long since turned into vipers, striking at me.More than anything else, I didn't want her around him, and I couldn't really figure out why. I needed to be with Adrian, it was important I stuck to the plan.But why was it killing me so to do it? I'd already made my peace with not trying to get closer to Alvis. My revenge came first.Or am I just lying to myself now?"You look like you're thinking hard, Princess," mused a voice close to my ear.Far too close.I jerked away and stared at the man beside me. He was tall, towering over me, and there was a glint in his honey-caramel eyes. His raven black hair matched my own, and a smirk of confidence played on his lips. "Who are you?" I sputtered. I hadn't seen anyone like him before, not even at the competition."You can call me your Prince Charming if you like." He held a hand out to me.

    LindseyI took Kai out through a side door, making sure no one was following after us, and into the heart of the hedge maze in our gardens. It wasn't the most secure I could get, but it would do. Only someone determined to track me down would be able to find us here. "Okay, spit it out," I demanded, folding my arms over my chest.Kai smirked at me. "You look like a frustrated little kitten ready to lash out at me with those claws of yours. Are you going to give me my reward now?"I growled in the back of my throat at him. "No, you're going to answer some questions for me." I held up a finger. "First, who are you really? You smell strange."He chuckled. "That's the scent time hopping can leave. I used a lot of my power to save you. I was expecting far more gratitude. You got far without me, but you haven't really done much to dig your claws into that bastard yet. You want to make him suffer as he made you, right?"I nodded. "I don't understand what you're talking about, but you said yo

    LindseyWhat was I going to do? What was I going to say?Kai slipped an arm around me and pulled me against his body, staring coolly at Alvis. "You're disturbing us, don't you have someone else to attend to?"I shoved against Kai's chest. I didn't want Alvis to have the wrong idea about all of this. Why was that important? If anything, I should be using Kai to make Alvis jealous. No, I didn't mean Alvis, I meant Adrian. He was the one I was trying to torment.Kai held me close, the warmth of his body threatened to consume me. "I'd back off if your brother was here since she's his fiance, but you're nothing more than an extra in my way. Besides, how could I resist her when she smells this delectable?" he put emphasis on his words by putting his nose neck to my neck and inhaling, it made me shiver."Are you really going to let him manhandle you like this?" Alvis questioned me. His tone was softer.Kai pushed me farther into the hedge to cut off Alvis' view of me. "Go back to your little

    AlvisI circled Adrian, he had a dozen different openings, but I wanted one that would make him hurt. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Lindsey and that strange man join the crowd. By their side, Betty grabbed onto Lindsey's arm, probably trying to persuade her to stop me.There was no stopping me. I'd caught them in the act. His pants were down to his feet, he had her bent over the sink and was staring into her reflection's eyes as he pounded her. Betty, for her part and moaned and mewed like the slut she was, giving it all to him.He didn't deserve Lindsey. No one else did but me. After I was done tearing Adrian apart, I would go after that man that was trying to steal her away from me. "What the hell is your problem?" Adrian wheezed. He held a hand towards his throat where I had punched him. "You've never challenged me like this."We kept our voices low enough that the crowd couldn't catch on. "I saw you," I seethed at him.Adrian scoffed. "I don't know what you're talking a

    LindseyBetty screeched and ran over to Adrian's side. She couldn't hide how she felt about him, and everyone at the party gossiped loudly about her."Lindsey," my father came to my side. He glanced at Kai, I saw him, but he didn't even acknowledge the man. "I'm not sure what happened between those two brothers, but I can not allow them to be in the same place again. Not until I know they're not going to devolve into that riff raff. They ruined your mother's special day.""Lindsey still has a present for her," interrupted Kai. I turned to him and he had gotten hold of the box I'd planned to give her. When had he had the time to snatch that? "Here," he handed it over.My mother was the one to take the box and she gave him a warm smile. "Thank you, Kai."I stared. How had she known his name? Why weren't they more surprised? None of this was making any sense.My mother unwrapped the box and pulled out the dress I had chosen for her. Her lips split into a broad smile and she crushed me to

    LindseyFrom the moment that Adrian left my side that night, time decided to go into overdrive.The night was upon me and, with it, a reminder of the promise I'd made. Just like Kai had told me, he had a room set up beside mine and no one dared to touch it. My parents seemed to love him, but I still couldn't figure that one out.Why?Sighing, I got to my feet and belted the soft robe around my body. I wanted an extra layer of protection when dealing with this man because something about him wanted me to drop all my defenses. And I wouldn't do that.I rapped softly on his door, and a moment later, he opened it. His eyes roamed over me as if he was trying to devour me. "You're here.""I pay my debts," I whispered. His lips parted into a smile. "That you do."Even his voice was enough to make me doubt my former decisions. "What do you want from me, Kai? I mean, really." I moved into his room and shut the door behind me, taking small steps until I reached his side and could stare up at

    KaiShe was my pretty little moth, and she hovered ever closer to the flames of revenge. The pad of my thumb grazed across her soft lips."Decision time.""You promise that you'll really give me a way to take her down?"The flames in her eyes turned me on. I wanted to flip her over on the chair and take her right then and there. I shouldn't have been so nice before. We belonged together and using her desire for revenge, I'd teach her just how much. She shifted forward, and I bit back the groan that threatened to break from me.Her lips brushed against mine. It was like kissing a pillar of fire, and yet all I wanted to do was lose myself in her touch.Lindsey pulled away, smirking at me. "There you go."I blinked at her, recovering myself. This little minx. "Pet, you like to play. But I am a man of my word, and I'll forever keep it for you." I just would have to omit some things here and there. It was better if she didn't know the entire story."You promised," she reminded me. Lindsey

    My mind couldn't process what Cresil was saying. My brothers? How could that be possible? I had grown up with them, thinking we were just cousins.“What? How would you know that?” I asked.Cresil's expression turned serious. "I have my ways of finding out information," he said cryptically. "But more importantly, you need to understand that this doesn't change anything. You and your brothers are still family, and you still love each other just as much as before."I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts. "I know that," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "It's just a lot to take in."Cresil nodded. "I know it is. But I kept the end of my bargain and told you the secret. What you want to do with it is up to you.”I need to talk to my mother, I thought you myself.Cresil seemed to sense my thoughts. "It would be a good idea to confront your mother about this.Taking a deep breath, I got up from the bed. “Take me back to my house.”Cresil nodded and stood up, taking my

    I sighed, feeling a mix of annoyance and attraction towards Cresil. I knew he was trying to push my buttons, but I couldn't deny that I wanted him too.I stood up and slowly began to undress, letting my clothes fall to the ground one by one. Cresil's eyes roamed over my body, his gaze hungry and possessive."Beautiful," he breathed, reaching out to touch me.I stepped away, feeling a sense of defiance growing within me. "You still haven't told me what I need to know," I reminded him.Cresil smirked. "Always so focused on business. I still haven't gotten everything I wanted from you.""Why do I get to be the only one standing here naked? That's not fair," I said. Cresil chuckled. "You have a point there. Come here," he said, pulling me towards him.I kept my eyes glued to his body as he began to undress. His human form was sculpted to perfection but that's not what attracted me about him. "I want you to change back to your true form," I said in a hoarse whisper.Cresil looked at me w

    When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a dimly lit room, sitting on a plush couch. My head was pounding, and my body felt heavy and sluggish. I tried to get up, but my limbs refused to cooperate. Panic set in as I realized I was trapped. I turned to look for Cresil, but he was nowhere to be seen."Cresil, where are you?" I called out, my voice echoing in the empty room.A moment later, the door opened, and someone walked in, a smug grin on his face. "Welcome to my humble abode," he said, gesturing around the room. "I hope you find it to your liking.""Err...who are you?" I looked at him with confusion. "Where is Cresil? He was the one who kidnapped me." I observed him closely. This man had long hair too, but his skin didn't have the greyish-purple hue, and his eyes weren't Amber. They were bright blue."I see you don't recognize me in my human form," he laughed.The sound of his voice...it suddenly dawned on me. "You are Cresil!"He chuckled. "Look who figured it out."“You look….”

    I stood there, stunned and unsure of what to do next. Part of me wanted to run away from him, to forget about the dangerous and alluring demon that stood before me. But another part of me was drawn to him, like a moth to a flame.I knew that I should leave, but I couldn't bring myself to move. He must have sensed my hesitation because he reached for me again. "I said get out of here," he growled, but there was a hint of desperation in his voice as if he didn't really want me to go.I closed my eyes and leaned into his touch, feeling a strange sense of comfort in his rough fingers against my skin. "I don't want to leave," I whispered. "I want to help you."He let out a bitter laugh. "Help me?" he repeated. "I don't need help. I'm a demon, remember?""And I am a dragon. We aren't all that different," I said.He looked at me for a long moment, his amber eyes piercing into my soul. "Perhaps you're right," he said finally, his voice low and gravelly.

    As we made our way back to the main area of the pack, my mind was racing with questions. What was Rhys hiding from me? And why was this demon so intent on causing trouble?I decided to take Rhys aside and get some answers. "Hey, can we talk for a minute?" I said, pulling him aside.He looked at me, his expression guarded. "Sure, what's up?""I just wanted to know what you're not telling me," I said, crossing my arms. "You said you and the demon had a history. What did you mean by that?"Rhys sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's complicated," he said. "Let's just say that I made a deal with him a long time ago, and it didn't end well."I raised an eyebrow. "A deal? What kind of deal?"Rhys hesitated before answering. "He wanted something from me, and I agreed to give it to him. But he didn't hold up his end of the bargain.""What did he want?"Rhys sighed, his shoulders slumping. "I know," he said, his voice quiet.

    I stared at the deer, dumbfounded.Did Fae deer know how to speak too?But my questions were answered immediately as the deer started shifting.As I watched in amazement, the deer's body began to morph and contort, its limbs elongating and twisting into something that was definitely not natural. Within moments, the deer had transformed into a strange man.My jaw dropped as I took in the transformation before me. His features were almost otherworldly. His hair was long and tangled, and his eyes seemed to glimmer with an ethereal light.The man seemed unbothered by my shock and awe, "nothing to say?" he said in a calm and measured tone."Um...are you a werewolf? Wait, no. Werewolves can't shift into another animal. So you are no dragon, either. So what are you?" I asked.He glared at me. "None of your business.""It is too my business. You are trespassing.

    I am Aurora, a dragon shifter who is unlike any other. I am half-dragon and half-werewolf, a unique combination that has never been seen before.My mom Lindsey used to say that I was a miracle as dragons and werewolves were never supposed to breed. You might thing it would make me feel more powerful and unique but that wasn't always the case. As a child, I struggled to control my transformations, often shifting between my dragon and werewolf forms at the most inconvenient times. But as I grew older, I learned to harness my powers and use them to my advantage.My life was complicated, to say the least. I never felt like I fit in with either the dragons or the werewolves. The dragons saw me as a half-breed, not fully one of their own, while the werewolves were wary of my dragon side, which they saw as a potential threat.But despite these challenges, I refused to let my mixed heritage hold me back. I trained tirelessly to master my powers and become the best warrior I could be, alway

    I watched her flip through her book furiously and grinned secretly.She had no idea I was faking the whole thing and that stupid love potion didn't work on me either. I just thought it'd be funny to pull a prank on her. But what I didn't expect was how much I enjoyed kissing her. Fuck, that was hot. "There! The antidote for the love potion," Natasha muttered."An antidote, huh?" I said sheepishly."Yes so you wouldn't be in love with me anymore," Natasha said seriously."Hmm...but what if I want to stay in love with you?" I winked playfully.Natasha blushed. "Don't be silly," she mumbled. I chuckled and leaned in closer to her. "I'm not being silly, Natasha. I really like you."Her eyes widened in surprise and she pulled away slightly. "Whatever. After the antidote, you'll come to your senses," she said and then proceeded to make the antidote for the love potion.I watched her in amazement as she busily threw stuff in her pot and mumbled bunch of gibberish.As she worked, I couldn'

    NatashaOh my god, I couldn't believe he actually did it. Andrew drank the love potion!What would happen now?I stared at him, wide-eyed. But I'm not super worried since it didn't work on Xander earlier. So that means it won't work on Andrew.I watched Andrew swallow the love potion-riddled drink. I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease wash over me.What if it worked on Xander, and it just had a delayed effect? Then I would have two guys fall in love with me!As the minutes ticked by, nothing seemed to be happening."So...um...feel any different?" I asked nervously.Andrew looked thoughtful. "Um...hmm...I don't know."I began to relax, thinking that maybe the love potion was actually a dud. I'll have to remake it for Xander.But then, suddenly, Andrew's demeanor changed.He started to fidget in his seat, and his eyes darted around the room nervously. And then, just as quickly, his gaze settled on me, and he seemed to lock onto me like a missile."Oh my god," I muttered under my b
