I smiled trying to touch them. I couldn't even see them. Although they looked much more like large dragon fly wings, I had imagined angel-like wings.
"Please do not touch, Princess." He sounded annoyed as he put his hand out pointing towards the castle. "They can be ripped and it's a headache to repair."
I gazed at him like the truly special specimen he was, as a man and a faerie. "Why are we walking if you can fly?"
He rolled his eyes and kept walking, checking behind to see if I was following him. I stayed back a few steps to try to find his wings that seemed to disappear.
"Just like an insect or bird, my wings can be tucked away." He stopped and looked back giving me a smirk. "Remember I can hear your thoughts and

"Princess, we're here." Nyx gently went to let me go but when my legs wobbled he picked me up again.His cottage home was in the middle of a forest, surrounded by trees and the sounds of animals and other critters that come alive at night. It wasn't what I had expected, but I also hadn't really thought about where Nyx lived. I had assumed he lived in the castle like some of the other upper level staff. It had a thatched roof and was made of wood that was painted white. His door and window treatments were black. A stark contrast that was softened by pink and purple garden beds aligning his natural rock walkway. I could hear water moving somewhere but couldn't see it. He did have trimmed hedges which seemed unnecessary since he lived in the middle of the forest. Ivy vines ran up a trellis on the side of his house and he had a door plate in the shape of a crescent moon.When we entered I finally let him put me down and I looked around. With one flick o

I woke up in bed alone. Confused. Turned on. Heartbroken."Nyx?" I covered myself in the top sheet and went downstairs. "Nyx?!"He was cooking?"Oh, good morning Princess. I'm sorry these earbuds are great for listening to my music and not wake you. I've made you a fruit smoothie with some added minerals and a couple of fresh dew drops to help heal your aching heart." He kept his head down and worked on the eggs in front of him. "Please sit. Eat." He tried to smile but it wasn't convincing."What's up with you Nyx? Something seems different." I stood leaning on the counter watching him cook finish the eggs and turn off the stove. His head hung low, his black hair hiding his eyes."Princess, do you know that you talk while you dream?" He still couldn't look at me."Uh-oh what did I say?"

Walking with Oisin had been like a dream. His musk overwhelmed me. His touch created sparks that I had been missing. Overall, Oisin is intoxicating.Where were we going?"I have to admit, I can't take full credit for this." He knocks twice loudly on the ballroom door. "Fiona, as 'Liv', has been your confident while living overseas and you've told her a lot of embarrassing secrets.""Oh no!" I giggled and gasped. What would she plan in the ballroom? What did I tell her? I shift uncomfortably in my heels.Oisin winks at me and clears his throat.The doors open to a long table decorated in French food. I'm offered the head of the table, Oisin pulling my chair out for me, as he takes the seat next to me. It's too dark to really see what's going on but the food smells and looks delicious.And then the magic happens!Be our guest, be our guest...Oh my go

I paced back and forth in my room waiting for Maggie's mom to show up. I had summoned her right after I left Oisin standing alone in the ballroom."Maybe she doesn't want anyone else here, Princess, maybe we should leave or hide." Maeve made sense."Good idea. Stay close though." I continued to pace as the day wore on. The sun was setting again and I had hoped to be able to see Oisin and Fiona tonight. Maybe with some answers or strategies.What did I do wrong? Why is she not here?"Because I have better things to do. I'm not your mum and not at your beck and call."Finally!"Why wouldn't you want to be at my beck and call?" I felt a twinge of hurt.The old woman sat on my bed the same as last time.

Nyx knocked on the door not soon after I had finished some soup. Knowing him he chose his time wisely. Post shower, dressing, and food so Violet wouldn't have a reason for avoiding him.Violet opened the door for him and immediately blushed. She even curtsied for him! Maeve and I tried hard not to laugh. Nyx, dressed in faded black skinny jeans and a black v-neck t-shirt, looked mouth watering as always. He bowed his head to me and to Lady Violet! It was adorable how he was doting on her."Hello Princess, I hope I'm not intruding." He made his way over to a couch in my sitting area. The night sky above us and a hint of balmy fog in the air."Never. Are you here to see me or maybe someone else..." I continued to sip at my soup with a sly knowing smile."Unfortunately neither your Highness. I'm here on behalf of the King. He requests your presence immediately." Nyx looked uncomfortable, his hands kept moving while his

Oisin's POVWe all sighed a breath of relief knowing Liam and Evelyn had escaped. But why would the King, her own father, want to kill her?Rian didn't care why, all he could see was red. I understood how he felt but her father just found her, it made no sense.The castle was buzzing saying the princess's execution, and apparently the Queen was in a cell in the dungeon.We needed more intel but with the guests left over from the ball fleeing from the castle it was hard to go towards the fire while everyone ran from it.'Oisin?

Violet's POVThe King has gone mad. He sentenced both his daughter and his Queen to death by beheading.When I first heard Nyx's voice in my head, I thought I was going mad. It's not everyday someone just pops into your mind and starts talking. And it was no secret I had a crush on him so I thought maybe I'd gone crazy.He said he was going to ask Maeve to pose as the Princess and that everyone should look and act normal while all was in chaos.If only Nyx had told me that Maeve had agreed to his plan I would never have gone through with it. Once we successfully separated from the Princess, we had Maeve in a convincing glamor with what I was told was a protection spell made up of a bundle of dried herbs that she stashed away in her dress.

Evelyn's POV"Did I take too much? Evee? Oh shit Fiona's gonna kill me. I'm such an ass."I tried to keep a straight face but Liam's accent and worry over his beloved Fiona made me giggle."WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL! EVELYN!?!?!"It was finally night time and he was back to his old self... almost. There was still sadness in his eyes and a wariness about him."I couldn't help it! I've told you time and time again that I'm fine. I'll let you know when your feeding becomes too much. And I'll talk to Fiona."He was out of the hole pacing back and forth in his bare feet. "Like hell you will. This is between me and my mate." At the word mate he stopped and sank down, his thighs sitting back on his calves. "But maybe she isn't mine.""Liam, that's ridiculous. You know that right? I'm going to to pick my true mate and break this stupid curse that my crazy ancestor put o

Sconces lined the hallway. Meadow green carpet lined the floor and a mural of a bright sunny day was painted as far as the eye could see. It all smelled new and was a bit overwhelming to my senses. That's probably why I didn't notice the Oisin watching me from the doorway up ahead."So you've made your decision?" I jumped not realizing he was so close to me."Don't scare me like that!" He laughed which was music to my ears. Uncrossing his arms I could see he was shirtless with water dripping from his head. He must have just showered. Sweatpants perfectly fitted. They must be new; I missed the old ones that hung off of his hips from being so worn out."Evelyn, keep your thoughts about my new wardrobe to yourself." He was listening. "Fiona would be very upset to hear you don't approve of my new sweats. She got them in blue, black, grey, dark green, and whatever other color she could find." He smirked. "I do have forever with you so at

Liam and I kept each other company, laying low in the compound. Since I was "murdered" by my father he thought it best to keep me hidden.He starting feeding and sleeping regularly, getting himself back in tip-top shape to see his beloved Fiona, while I sat wondering if I was making the right decision. I had time to change my decision."Are you ready to see them?" Liam knew this wasn't going to be a happy reunion until I had mated with my true love."Oh, totally. What could go wrong?" We both laughed nervously.We heard cheering and knew that the three vampires we loved most were home.Goddesses, help me. Let me make the right decision.This had to work, Maggie couldn't win. My father couldn't win. My mother couldn

Evelyn's POVI woke up in Fiona's room, Liam was sleeping on the couch. We snuck in since I am supposed to be dead. How fucked up can one family be?It could have been hours or days since I had showered and lay my head on Fiona's side of the bed. I couldn't wait to see my best friend, my sister.Tears threatened at the corner of my eyes and as soon as one fell, the dam would crack and the hot tears wouldn't stop until there was nothing left.Sitting up with the pink sheet held up to my chest, I cried silently. The tears rolled down my cheeks leaving tracks behind for the others to follow. It wasn't until I chortled, trying to hold back my melancholic melody, that Liam woke up."Fi?" He seemed to have forgotten what was happening. It took him a moment to wake up and come back to reality. It was like watching a kid g

Rian's POVMy patience was waning. Yes, we had to get home to Liam and Evelyn but I wanted to detach the King & Queen's heads from their bodies.If not, I declare war.Oisin was following his heart, something I didn't have the ability to do. I have a clan to protect and lead. As King I can't just fall for every lass that gives me butterflies.And Evelyn gave me butterflies. She gave me hope that my eternity of existence wasn't going to be the same everyday. That life wasn't just about blood and lust.As soon as her shitty excuse for a mum came back to the land of the fog, I went to see her. I wasn't planning on falling for her. She was only a teenager. She was stunning. Which is why that step-dad of hers had to die.
