After that day, Demon worked on learning as much as he could about reading, writing, math, adulting, and the world he now found himself living in. Smiling as he and Leo walked to the lake and waterfall, he thought when Hades called him home to kill him for disobeying, he would die happy. He got to l
author povLorn was in shock. He had found his second chance mate, and she was Katia's twin sister. The two girls were identical except for the color of their hair, their builds differed slightly, and Katia had more scarring on her face than her sister. However, they both had scars everywhere. He wa
Nathan chuckled, "I can help you with that. Simple, really, Selene wanted a mate but did not think it fair she matched herself to someone. She asked Katia to do so just before I lost my mind and destroyed our mate bond."Lorn asked, "What did you do?"Lucifer interjected, "That is a story for anothe

Demon stopped tickling the little boy and looked to make sure there was no ooze on him. It was out of habit he did this, for he had not left a bit of ooze on anyone or thing since Evelynn and Gammy had done the spell on him. He looked at his hands and arms, which were black but had not oozing thick
author povKatia noticed Zor's nose twitching as people came and went carrying out Doc's instructions. After Mark and Lorn had left, Zor kept sniffing toward the foot of the bed. Katia inhaled deeply, just as Selene asked, "Do you smell that? It smells like puppies and frog guts in here." She wrinkl
Embarrassed, Demon gasped, "Leo you cannot speak to the moon goddesses like that. He is just protective of me. I apologize. He does not mean to be rude."Katia laughed, "Yes, he did. Didn't you Young Leo? He thinks because his father is our uncle, he can boss us around. I hope you do not allow him t
author povNathan stood outside the door, listening for any sign that Katia needed something. Lorn was keeping Nathan company in case Selene wanted to see him. He was still trying to understand that the mate he rejected matched him with her twin sister because both of them were the moon goddess. He
Mark was right behind her, but he froze, his eyes locked on the fire as realization dawned. He moved to help, tearing away the burning debris with shaking hands."Oh, Goddess… no."I threw my hands over the mother’s ears, trying to shield her from the sounds, but her eyes were rolling back when I lo

“No,” Agnes said softly, a tear slipping down her cheek. “She wasn’t crazy, Alpha. She was doing everything she could to keep her babies alive. She fed them what little milk her body could produce and kept them quiet and safe.”I couldn’t stay quiet anymore. The weight of it was too much.“They were
I had no idea how long we had been running. The cool air rushed past me, carrying the scent of damp earth and the ever-present forest musk. The steady sound of paws pounding against the ground echoed through the trees as we followed the river, its shimmering surface guiding us. My heart hammered in
I watched in awe as she stood unyielding yet filled with love before her mate. Alpha Nathan’s jaw clenched; his eyes filled with reluctant acceptance. "Fine," he grumbled, but his voice was affectionately laced. "But if this weakens you… I’m not carrying you back.""Yes, you will," she whispered wit
"How can you be sure it’s her you feel and not something sinister trying to lead us into a trap?" Alpha Mark's voice was low but filled with concern, his piercing gaze locking onto mine. His words echoed through my mind, making my stomach twist in uncertainty. But I knew. I felt it deep within my so
I am so grateful for the care Agnes and I have received. The burning fire of silver and wolfsbane that once raged in my veins has finally dulled to a quiet ache. I feel stronger now, steadier on my feet, though the shadows of what we endured still cling to the edges of my mind. Poor Agnes, though...
I awaken—finally—dragged from the void like a drowned thing hauled from the depths. The air burns my lungs, and for a moment, I wonder if this is what it feels like to be among the living again.Inside me, Zor stirs, his presence vast and primal, like a beast curling lazily in the corners of my mind
Bob’s jaw clenches so hard I hear his teeth grind, the sound sharp in the stillness.I glance at Katia, watching her watch him. Something in her eyes softens as if she can see past the rage to the pain underneath. I crouch beside her. "Little ghost, I think your vampire needs some help. He’s not pul
