"Ahh, I expect nothing less from a business owner." Mr. Spencer spoke suddenly.

Now that he was looking at the young lady in a different light, he could not help but admire her and have respect for her.

He could taste the bobs now, plus let's not forget his sudden inspiration.

But Lord knows how he wishes his daughter had some type of substance or purpose-driven in life. But no, all she wanted to do was spend his hard-earned money trying to make a name for herself in the ton.

The same ton who would look down on her if they knew her father was a merchant. A few knew the details of his part ownership of the Stygians.

He preferred it that way, so he truly understood Ms. Thompson's request for privacy.

"Ok, let me check on some availability as I have the perfect idea for a business like yours. You may not even need an entire stall, but just part of one." Mr. Spencer's hand moved as he described.

"I can see your different products spread in a glass case," His hands outstretched, the

    By the end of her day, Aakifahlynn was tired. She refused to sleep in the barn or elsewhere besides the comfort of her own bed. She wanted her bed, plain and simple. But she did not want her husband coming at her. So when Aakifahlynn had gotten ready for bed, she spelled herself to appear asleep solid for when her husband returned to their chambers for the night. And that night, he had come to bed before she fell asleep for real. However, the spell was in play, her eyes closed. She appeared to be sound asleep....and then... And the bloody bagpipe had tried to 'wake her.' "Aakifah, my darling? Are you awake?" His voice dripped in longing, he shook her, and Jairus stared down at his mate as if seeing her for the first time. But Aakifahlynn's eyes could be open, her body moving on the bed, or she could feel emotions, and all Jairus would see, or sense was that she was sound asleep. It was like a flawless mirage. "Honey?"... Still hovering. "My love?"... Another tug. When he rea

    A wave of thankfulness flowed through Aakifahlynn for the thing she would need because she had used it many times. She had never been more grateful that her goal was not to have children immediately. Imagine bringing a child into this, witnessing their mother killed so brutally, or hearing the tales when they grew older. Plus, Aakifahlynn's ambitions did not provide for such a thing. At least not yet. Aakifahlynn had thought she had years for that, maybe even ten years into their marriage, which was nothing for a werewolf. Sadly, they barely made it to five years. Although a child may have changed things she'd randomly thought, it was too late for those sentiments. Nevertheless, Aakifahlynn will need to use that poppy wheat one more time before leaving the kingdom. Only it won't be on herself this time... Aakifahlynn was not thinking past, ripping Jairus and Taisiya's joy away from them. She was not even weighing the consequences of her actions on her conscience. Her mind was

    "What has suddenly gotten into you? Since when have you ever been THIS eager to get between my legs?" Aakifahlynn now shouted and diverted. She saw the suspicion in her husband's eyes.If he were suspicious of her, then be just as cynical about your behavior. Aakifahlynn bitterly thought. And this is not even the big event that would always win her case in her eyes.This was about his sudden movements toward her now, his need to mount her.And Jairus reacted as if she slapped him hard across the face with the truth of the situation...While he was busy wondering why his wife was acting out of sorts, he failed to realize he had suddenly been operating out of sorts.He certainly was not going to explain that her eager and searching tongue lit a fire in him, and he wanted her to quench its flames.That she ignited reels of ideas he wanted to experience with her. She was HIS MATE and WIFE. He DESERVES to have her. He DEREVRES this."I am sorry Aakifah... Get some rest. I will check on you

    Nevertheless, Aakifahlynn suddenly felt calm as she continued at her pace. This was a relief, she thought. Reaching the end, she entered the tent and saw Mr. Spencer talking to someone in a dark cloak. Aakifahlynn could barely make out the cloaked figure's face. But the cloaked figure's head tilted, his nose flared intensely as if he could smell under her disguise, and he disappeared quickly, which caused Mr. Spencer to turn around in confusion at the cloaked figure's sudden departure. Mr. Spencer's eyes widened in surprise and happiness. "Ahh, Ms. Thompson, I was beginning to think you got me excited about this venture only to abandon me." Seeing her, his face lit up, and Aakifahlynn got right to it. She had little time, "Mr. Spencer, I would never. As you can imagine, my day was hectic preparing for my trip." Aakifahlynn's eyes twinkled, a warm smile on her face. "However, I am still running on borrowed time. Shall we get straight to it?" "Yes, please, come this way." But Aak

    As the name left Aakifahlynn's lips, she looked for a reaction but got none; Mr. Spencer simply repeated the full name as he glanced off in the distance, then said, "Hmn, Smithesenja, Smithesenja, I cannot say that it rings any bells. But give me two weeks. I will send out my spies." "Oh, and please do be careful. I heard Ms. Smithesenja has eyes everywhere." Aakifahlynn spoke in hushed tones, her voice grave. Aakifahlynn did not know whether or not Taisiya had eyes out there. She simply needed Mr. Spencer to proceed on this quest for information cautiously, as she wanted to avoid word getting back to Taisiya. Word that someone was looking into her. She did not want any alarms to go off before time. Goddess knows her husband may have already set off sure alarms. If he did confide in the snake-ess, and why wouldn't he? After all, they used to discuss her so casually. Aakifahlynn realized she did not know who or what Taisiya was. Was she human? Or a witch? She had little dealings

Tigana thought it best to describe it differently from what Peter started saying. However, he did not know if he did an excellent job as he stared at Ms. Thompson's face, filled with shock and horror. D@mn it, his finesse was terrible. Aakifahlynn had only thrown out the question, curious about what Mr. High and Mighty were doing in this kind of environment after dark. She even doubted it was him, but the inner part of her wanted to know if it was. She even wondered if it was him, though. What was he doing here? Maybe undoubtedly scheming the demise of Queen Luna with her husband, she asked herself if he was going to see Mr. Spencer and what type of business they did together. Which suddenly had her uneasy, wondering if she could trust Mr. Spencer after all. But Aakifahlynn was not prepared for THAT answer. Well, at least the good news is, firs

    That night, Aakifahlynn took a while to calm down. She was hyped, and the long bath did nothing to calm her sprinting heart. Her adrenaline was still fully activated as her mind replayed the events.She had ensured she scrubbed every trace of blood and shampooed her hair. She had also checked on her garments by the time she was through with her bath.They were almost gone, but she threw in some more wood just to make sure the flames got all of it.Aakifahlynn suddenly laughed out loud at her crazy and impulsive move as she laid on her bed. She had been planning everything perfectly. This was out of character for her. What was she doing?Goddess forbid she woke up to the castle guards at her door in the morning.How could she be so reckless? And yet, Aakifahlynn could not bring herself to regret her decision.

    Jarrod had all but pledged his life to the man, grateful to him for saving it. The same was true of her parents. She understood why they were faithful, but they were all missing the 'why' in this situation. Aakifahlynn's mind was a whirlwind of confusion, unable to grasp the true identity of the man they all revered.It scared Aakifahlynn, not knowing the 'why' of Demarion's actions in saving them. This could be more sinister than they all thought or imagined. And what did her parents do? Blindly worship him.Now that she saw and understood where her parents stood on the matter, she would drop it and let the chips fall where they may, but that does not mean she would suddenly let her guard down. No way, no how.The rest of the day went by pretty quickly—it was almost a blur. Aakifahlynn had left her parents and visited her garden, where she'd started growing flowers for her scented soaps.She checked on the progress even though she knew they were already being taken care of, thanks

    Perhaps this dinner was a stroke of luck. Aakifahlynn's primary goal was to avoid Demarion and direct all her focus toward the families present.This annual ball and fundraiser can be the start of her getting close to the Emperor. And if she was being honest, Demarion did mention this to her weeks ago, but it may have gone in one ear and come out the other. She was too busy with her 'kill list,' the people she sought revenge on for past wrongs.Since then, she'd already decided she would not attend, and she knew him getting her parents involved would be a way to get her there. So you know what? She would dress to kill, wine, dine with the elites, and maybe find herself a wealthy man. She rolled her eyes inwardly at her last thought as if."Fine, I'll think about it," Aakifahlynn said, not wanting to suddenly give in."Come on, Aakifahlynn, pleaseeee do it for me." Her mother's plea echoed. Aakifahlynn was not ready to give in so quickly, but she could not resist her mother."Okay, o

    Aakifahlynn quickly flew off the bed. After eating, she brushed her teeth, showered, and dressed for the day. She wanted to return to visit her parents to tell them where she really was yesterday and give them the news about Jarrod, her father's friend, and Alpha, who was presumed dead.She knew her father would be thrilled that his old pal was indeed alive. However, she did not want Demarion to know about that development just yet, simply because she wanted to keep some things to herself. Goddess knows how much Demarion has been keeping from her.Aakifahlynn also planned to keep busy because there was a gala soon, but she had no intentions of attending.Meanwhile, last night was the most restless night Demarion had experienced, and he had been around for centuries, so that's saying a lot.And it was not because he slept by Aakifahlynn's door; that had been his norm since she arrived. No, that was not it.He was happy that Aakifahlynn was safe and sound. He'd gathered that she must ha

    Aakifahlynn was still cloaked, and Demarion was wearing gloves, so she did not experience the full effect of his touch. And yet, for a second, she lost herself in his eyes, and her eyes fell to his lips. Then, she moved up to his eyes again and licked her lips.Her face suddenly moved closer to him.At Aakifahlynn's apparent intentions, Demarion wasted not another second; he had been waiting an entire lifetime for this again; he instantly closed the distance between them, his head swooping lower to meet her as she tiptoes wrapping her arms around his neck and kissed him.It quickly became hungry and heated, his hands moving down her back, caressing her waist, pulling her flush to him as he sat on the table, she between his legs.She grabbed the hair at the nape of his neck and slid her hand up, massaging his head. Her fingers ran through his hair as they melted in this passionate kiss, and they both moaned in pure pleasure.However, Aakifahlynn had been fighting this for the last few

    Yes, she was cloaked. She had thoroughly cloaked herself so Demarion could not keep such a tight hold on her.And even though Aakifahlynn saw the errors of her ways because her father could not feel her through their bond, she would blame Demarion.It was his fault. "How could you?" Aakifahlynn shouted, her voice shaky with rage, not giving him a chance to respond. His gaze bore into her, so Aakifahlynn felt as if she could not breathe under his intense gaze.She continued anyway, refusing to let his allures get to her, "What gave you the right to raise such an alarm?""Why would you provoke such a raucous that would cause my mother and father such pain? They thought I was in serious danger and that something was seriously wrong when I only wanted to get away from you and your lies." she snapped.Her words, a cascade of pent-up emotions, not letting him get a word in.Now, she was breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling. "Aakifahlynn?" Her mother's gentle voice called out to h

  • Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain   73. Feared the worst

    Demarion had come by earlier, but now it was dark out, and Aakifahlynn was still nowhere to be found. This was a bit unusual. And the fact that Demarion was worried, Aakifahlynn's mother was now.By Mrs. Arwen's response and stricken look, Demarion got his answer without even asking. They still had not seen her since. "Guards," Demarion shouted.There were guards at almost every post. How could Aakifahlynn slip past them, and neither of them saw her? "Yes sir," the nearest guard came almost at a run, "sound the alarm. Our Empress is missing." Demarion orders.Those words about 'his empress' flew over Mrs. Arwen's head as she was now stricken with fear, being consoled by her husband, Aakifahlynn's father, Mr. Ludwig Arwen. She had left the door wide open, and Danica walked in to get them up to speed. She mentioned her brief conversation with their daughter earlier today in an attempt to reassure them that she was certain Aakifahlynn was just fine. Demarion barked a few more orders

  • Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain   72. She does not remember me

    Demarion sighed. He did not mean to come off so aggressive, he thought for a moment. There were many reasons why he was holding off on bombarding Aakifahlynn with all the information he had about their past lives. "Because she never believes me at first, always... and always tries to escape me. Which always led to her death before I could." Demarion's voice cracked, and when he regained it, it trembled. He fisted.He was tough and mighty, powerful and feared by many; however, this one woman could bring him to his knees without even trying."Before I could even hold her in my arms and show her how much I loved her before she could ever love me, I simply cannot risk her life like that this time; I won't." He declared.Danica's heart ached for her brother. " What if you are wrong, and she does believe you this time?""Why would she? I haven't been completely honest with her, and it's damned if I do and still damned if I don't.""You should not think like that. This time, it is different

    Aakifahlynn spun around, looking everywhere, wondering what was going on. She then shouted, asking Jarrod if he knew what was happening and if anything like this had ever happened while he was there.Jarrod thought momentarily, then told Aakifahlynn that the last time this happened, Demarion's sister was kidnapped, and they locked down the empire.They did not make it far with her.Aakifahlynn shouted, and Jarrod heard her when she said, "The emperor went through all this for the disgraced emperor's sister?"But before he could correct her and tell her the Emperor was not disgraced, nor ever was he. It was like an alarm went off in Aakifahlynn's head—the thought of her parents struck her. She needed to know if they were safe, her concern overriding everything else."Oh my goddess, my parents," she shouted over the blaring again. And an excited Jarrod, forgetting all about the Emperor, almost jumped up and down, jumping out of his seat, "Oh Goddess, my dear old friend is here." His e

    Aakifahlynn was sorry she missed the opening but was too busy recovering from draining her strength after healing folks at a hospital and then having to recuperate. Nevertheless, she told him not to let her absence keep him from moving forward in their adventures; she would show up when she could to check on things.Plus, Aakifahlynn preferred the surprised visits; keeping him on his toes is always better. However, she must admit he still had that eagerness to help in any way she wanted after their encounter that faithful day she visited the Stygian.Nevertheless, Aakifahlynn learned that Taisiya does not exist, literally. She was found washed ashore at the age of sixteen with no family.And this Jarrod had confirmed as he lived it. He was there when Jairus brought her home. Taisiya had woven a web of lies throughout her life, leaving a lingering mystery about her true identity. Even Spencer, who had his men gather all the intel, was unsure. But he went on to explain his spy's find
