Rain’s POV A single tear slipped down my cheek as I paced inside my bedroom. The plan was working so far but the price of success was very high. Inside the mansion I have used my magical powers to build a bond with each person living here. I knew the moment death happened in the dungeon. I also knew who the murders are and where they are. The evil fae prince had just freed Crissy and walked back inside the mansion. He is making his way upstairs to appear innocent of the crimes he has committed. Anger and hatred boiled inside me and swirled in my soul along with sadness at the loss of Kit and Hart. I stopped pacing, knowing it was almost time to get myself kidnapped. I missed my mate so much. The empty feeling in my chest was growing. I mind linked Mack and let him know to check the dungeon, even though I knew what he would find there. I decided to dress myself comfortably in a black tee shirt and black jeans. I opted for my running shoes instead of my boots. I had no idea what I was g
Rain’s POV I teleported Syndel and myself to the northern border. I stood just outside the border line of the pack lands. I knew I didn’t have a lot of time and I was hoping that Willix would hurry to meet me. I told him to bring Selwyn but now I knew that maybe I shouldn’t have said that to him. I didn’t want my treasure to see me now. It would only cause him pain and heartbreak again when I went back to Frank’s prison. I felt myself getting magically drained after using so much power. While Reya was sleeping in my mind she wasn’t helping me recharge. I held Syndel closer to my chest as I looked around the wooded area. I felt Willix getting closer to me but I didn’t reach out to him. I had to conserve what power I had for the chaos that was coming. Within moments of silence I saw Willix step out from behind a group of trees with alpha Rod at his side. When they reached me I quickly handed Syndel over to her mate. She was unconscious and Willix held her close and inhaled her scent. T
Rain’s POV Sleep wouldn’t come no matter how hard I wished it would. I even at one point tried stretching my aching body out flat on the floor of my cell. My fathered stared constantly at me. I crawled to the bars and looked deeply into his eyes. I searched for his dragon fire within his eyes. Sadness welled up from my soul. I knew he was in there and he was trying to find me but there just wasn’t a good enough connection in his mind to reach me. I pulled myself up off the floor as my father turned and wrapped his arms around my mother. I just wanted to hold on to them both and never let go again. I knew after I freed them and fixed their minds we would be a happy family again. I paced the small length of my cage like cell. I wanted my treasure. I missed my mate and being away from him was like pure torture to my soul. Light footsteps could be heard descending the stairs. I knew Crissy was coming but I wasn’t sure what for. Maybe to rub in my face the fact that I was now the prisone
Selwyn’s POV I knew something was happening here at the pack lands. Rod was acting strangely before he left in a hurry, without any explanation. “ Alta do you know what is going on here? Did alpha Rod tell you anything?” I asked while I stood up and began pacing the office floor. I usually met Alta out in the woods but we are inside the office of the pack house now. Alta looked at me and shook her head saying,” My king, I don’t know what is going on. The alpha didn’t tell me anything either. Maybe it’s something to do with the pack and he didn’t want to bother you.” I nodded and sat back down behind the desk. Maxim was always pacing in my mind or howling. It was getting harder to think straight. We wanted our mate back in our arms. I hated that our mate bond is closed off to each other. Anger over the situation flooded my mind again. I slammed my hands on the desk and stood back up. I needed some air and decided to take a walk. I left the Alta inside the pack house and walked out i
Selwyn’s POV Time was crawling by as I counted the minutes until dawn. I felt the need to rush this final act so I could reclaim my mate. Every second we spent apart was like torture to my soul and to Maxim who was again howling in my mind. I glanced again at the clock beside the bed and knew I couldn’t lay here another minute. I threw the blanket back and sat up. I placed my feet on the floor and stood up stretching my tired muscles. I did my morning routine quickly and dressed in my usual black clothes and boots. Then I headed downstairs to find food and wait for Rod to wake up. I walked into the kitchen and was greeted by a few of the packs omegas who worked in the pack house as maids. I nodded a greeting and took a cup of coffee from a young omega. I wasn’t in the mood for company so I made my way to the office. I sipped the hot coffee and began to make my plan for the final act to come. As I thought of how I needed to arrive all casual at the mansion and then become surprised
Selwyn’s POV I watched as my baby sister and Connie walked out of the library. I took a few moments to calm down my lycan, who was fighting for his freedom, inside my mind. I had to remain calm in order to gather information that I would need to kill Frank. I slowly made my way to the dungeon knowing that Willix was taking this time to have his chat with the fae bastard. When I walked inside the dungeon I saw Willix had hung Scott up by his shackles on the wall. Rod, Mack, and Thomas were standing to the side watching as Willix inflicted pain on the fae Prince. Willix delivered one final punch to Scott’s stomach and backed away turning to smirk at me. “ My King the prisoner is all yours. He is refusing to give us any information about Frank.” Willix said to me as he moved to stand next to Rod. “ Is that so? Well I guess then if he won’t talk, there is no reason to let him keep breathing.” I growled out as I stepped in front of my prey. Scott’s eyes were huge and fear leaked out of h
Rain’s POV I awoke startled and sore. I felt a small ripple in my magic and quickly checked on my sleeping dragon Reya. My precious dragon was still softly snoring in the back of my mind. I gazed around the dungeon and noticed that my parents and the elder wolves were still asleep. I wasn’t sure what the ripple in my magic meant but I needed to use the energy from Crissy to get us out of here this morning. I had no idea what time it was but it felt very early. I used a small amount of magic to see if Frank was upstairs or not. Lucky for us he wasn’t in the house. I quietly teleported myself out of my cell and walked to the cat man’s cell. He was wide awake and looking uncomfortable in all those chains. I looked deep into his yellow eyes and knew that he was going to be a huge help to me. I knew I would save him at any cost along with the others. I had promised him I would and I always kept my word. I teleported inside his cell and walked close to him and leaned next to his ear sa
Rain’s POV I sat up in bed, startled and confused. The dream I had gotten stuck in was still very vivid in my mind. I was with my treasure but I couldn’t reach him. No matter how hard I tried he was always out of my reach. Just like my dragon Reya. Tears were falling down my cheeks. I looked around the room and realized I was still in the hotel. My parents were not in the room with me anymore. Darkness had fallen outside and the moonlight was cascading across me on the bed. I wiped the tears away and got out of bed. I headed into the bathroom and quickly did my business. As I stood at the sink I felt numb. I washed my face and hands and looked at myself in the mirror. I was pale and my eyes looked dull. Exhaustion was evident in my gaze. I was truly tired and I didn’t mean my body. My soul was tired. I had no connections to anyone. I couldn’t reach out to my family and even though I had some magic still in me it was dark and evil. I shouldn’t have ever drained Crissy’s life force
Rain’s POV I waited until Mack and Icy walked out of library. I stood stone statue still just looking at the love of my life laying on the desk lifeless. My grief was eating me alive but I knew in my heart that I could bring him back to me. All my training at the temple had prepared me for this moment. I realized that now in this moment as I thought back over everything I learned from Selene. I also knew I needed to hurry before Selwyn’s soul left his body for the afterlife. I moved closer to the desk and placed my hands on his chest. I cleared my mind and focused on my ancient power within myself. I called quickly on every ounce of power I had and began harnessing the God power that resides inside me. I began to shake as I felt the waves of extreme power flow up my throat and into my mouth. I leaned over my beloved mate and kissed his lips, opening his mouth with my lips and tongue. I pressed my lips tightly to his and let the God’s powers flow into Selwyn. I felt my body
Mack’s POV The jungle became quiet as the magic that had me stuck released. The king was still laying face up on the jungle floor. My mate Icy jumped down beside me and I turned to make sure she wasn’t hurt. We were both still naked and I wrapped my arms around her and held her close to me. I knew what the grieving queen planned to do. I wouldn’t tell my mate because I didn’t want the god of Justice to hear the plan. I knew from the past that the queen had a way of making plans that may seem crazy to others. However they worked out. I backed my mate over to the rock behind us and grabbed our clothes, whispering to Icy to get dressed and to not move from this spot. I wasn’t about to let my beautiful mate die. I kissed her quickly but passionately, pouring all my love for her into our sacred mate bond. She was my treasure for eternity. I stepped back and brushed a lock of her long white hair behind her ear. Then looking into her pale icy blue eyes I nodded once. I watched as
Mack’s POV Something wasn’t right here in the jungle. I knew it the moment I felt Queen Rain enter into my private space. I was in the middle of putting on a sexy show for my mate who was perched above me on a ledge. Dragon’s never interrupted or interfered in another dragon’s mating with their treasures. Even though I used to flirt with Rain just to infuriate King Selwyn, I never wanted to take her from him. I couldn’t if I tried. Their love for each other was infinite and all powerful. I knew I needed to stop and call my mate down to me. I tried mind linking Icy but I couldn’t. A strange powerful magic had taken control of my body. I couldn’t look away from the spot I knew my mate was sitting. Still I felt the Queen’s eyes on me. The only thing in my mind was that King Selwyn was going to really kill me if I couldn’t control my body. This wasn’t fun anymore but the force that held me wouldn’t let go. Within minutes I released my unwanted orgasm. I could feel the distre
Rain’s POV I laughed along with Connie and ShyElle as we playfully gave a merry goose chase to our mates. We teleported from city to city all around the kingdom always one step ahead in our game of hide and seek. I knew in my mind that Selwyn wouldn’t let me win this game for long. I hadn’t been back from the temple long enough for my mate to want to be apart again for any length of time. I also knew when he caught up to me he would make me pay for this game in the most delicious teasing way. However I wasn’t ready to get caught just yet. I teleported Connie and Shy to Jadeville again where we landed in Modley’s back yard. It was late so I knew that he and his family were all asleep safely inside his house. I wondered how Hugo, Rose, and Violet were doing? I needed to come in the day time and visit with them again soon. “ Rain I’m enjoying this game but I wonder how much longer we are going to play it?” ShyElle asked me with a smile. I knew her well enough to know that she was m
Rain’s POV After another few hours of claiming my treasure in our bed, I knew it was time to see my parents and my friends. Fresh and clean from another shower with jeans and a pale blue tee shirt. I was very happy to be home and excited to hug them all in the mansion. Selwyn was grinning as he raised his eyebrow at me and asked me if I was ready to go downstairs. He was dressed in black jeans and a black tee shirt looking super sexy. I nodded and smiled as I walked over to our door and placed my hand on the doorknob. I sent my magic outside of me to get an idea of who was inside the mansion and where they were at. I smiled realizing they were all waiting for us in the sitting room. I felt the presence of my dearest friend waiting for me in the hallway with her new bundle of joy. Selwyn placed his hand on my lower back and leaned down close to my ear and said,” My Rain it’s time to see them.” His deep gravely voice sent shivers down my spine in the most delicious way. We had spen
Selwyn’s POV I gazed into the eyes of my mate as she smiled at me for the first time in ages it seemed. Our mate bond was open again and stronger than ever. I wanted nothing more than to reclaim my mate. However I was not about instant gratification in this moment. Oh no I was going to make my queen submit fully to me and beg for release. This would be punishment for everything she has put me through with her plans. Yes they worked but I hated Rain’s plan from the start. I slid my body out from under her and got out of bed. I watched as my beautiful Rain began to pout and reach for me. I shook my head at her and schooled my features very seriously. I walked to the bathroom door and turned to look at her while leaning against the door. “ Come to me wench. Let’s shower before your punishment begins.” I said to her with a growl. Her new changed features were such a turn on. Maxim was clawing inside my mind, urging me to just reclaim our mate. I could feel Reya, Rain’s dragon awa
Rain’s POV It’s been weeks since the moon goddess brought me to her temple to train me. I was exhausted and frustrated. I just wanted my treasure yet I knew I needed to learn everything I could from my second mom. It still blew my mind to know that Selene was indeed my mother as well. I missed my parents but I knew that they were safe and back to themselves by now. My mate was a strong King and I knew he was taking care of them. I had just finished another day of training with the goddess. She was relentless with me learning all that my powers would accomplish. I was here in her temple in my spirit form. My actual body was at the mansion. Selene had left me on my own after her lesson on creation and how to create a shifter bond or bring them back to life. I sat on my bed and let my thoughts take me to my mate. I pictured him in my mind. His strong arms, his gorgeous smile, and well let’s just say I needed him badly. I missed his deep gravely voice calling me his Rain or even h
Selwyn’s POV I was standing just outside the mansion as a large purple suv came sliding sideways to a stop. I jerked the door open and lifted out the love of my life. I knew from the mindlinks of Rod and Nevel that something was wrong with my Rain. They all thought it was the dark evil blood magic. Now that she was in my arms I knew that it wasn’t the case. I looked into her eyes as she fought to stay awake for me. A single tear slipped out of the corner of my eye as I watched with helplessness as Rain succumbed to a deep sleep. I couldn’t feel her through the mate bond but I could still feel the tingles from holding her in my arms. I quickly carried her to our room and laid her on our bed. Maxim was torn apart as again we were helpless to fix our mate. Rain had suffered so much by others evil intentions already. I just wanted to protect her and never let her go. I knew she was strong and I knew even with all my power and magic I would do everything in my power to keep her saf
Rain’s POV For the second time in my life I was floating on a sea of black nothingness. I had no idea how long I have been like this. Time has a strange way of standing still when you get caught in the void inside your own mind. I couldn’t feel the evil blood magic inside me anymore. That means Selwyn must have destroyed it. I wondered why then was I still stuck like this? Surely my mate would have been able with his magic to free me from this darkness. I reached out with my senses and was met with nothing. I couldn’t hear anyone. Couldn’t see anything around me but pitch black. I couldn’t feel, smell, or taste anything. Nervousness began to sink in as I tried to move my body and reach inside myself for my powers. Nothing happened. Sadly I couldn’t even cry at this point. Frustration rushed through my mind as I kept trying and trying to break myself out of this void and the darkness. I just wanted Selwyn. I continued to float along into what felt like and endless abyss. Sleep wo
