Jamari’s POVI jerk awake as my dream starts to fade from my mind. That was a weird dream. And far more vivid than any that I am used to having. I shake my head to clear my thoughts. All of the stress of the last few days must be catching up to me. Why else would the same dream be plaguing me everytime I close my eyes?I let out a tired sigh, my eyes wandering to the clock on the bedside table. 3:33 am. A yawn escapes me, reminding me that I only just went to bed two hours ago. Kenji begins to stir beside me, his arm searching for me in his sleep.None of us have gotten much sleep these past few days. All of us running around the clock with little breaks for rest and food in between. Despite searching through all of the books that we found with the words Forbidden Magic in the title, we still haven’t found what we are looking for.Two days have gone by since we first entered the hidden library, and we are still no closer to releasing Remiel from his prison than we were before we enter
Levi’s POVI glance up in surprise when I sense Jamari’s presence appearing within the library. Glancing at the watch wrapped around my left wrist, I realize that it has only been four hours since I sent Jamari away with Kenji to rest. Kenji walks through the portal behind Jamari, his hands raised in defense before I can question their quick return. Jamari stops to stare at me, a defensive look taking over her face. “Don’t start with me Levi.” She grumbles, making her way to the table scattered with books. “I couldn’t sleep so I might as well be of some use here.”I watch Jamari flip through books for a few minutes, my presence completely forgotten in her quest to find the spell to set Remiel free. I turn my attention back to Kenji, raising a brow in question. Averting his eyes, he pretends to be interested in the pile of books on the table beside him. ‘You weren’t supposed to return until she got at least six hours of rest.’ I berate through our link, my arms moving up to fold over
Rieka’s POV‘I will need to search for her within your mind Mari.’ I tell Jamari, as I think of the best way to find and talk to Athena. Mari is right, searching through all of these books isn’t getting us any closer to finding the answer to releasing Remiel and Lucifer from their prison. Getting in contact with Athena is a long shot, but if it helps us find the book we’re searching for sooner, then it is worth trying, even if it will make me weak for a while after. I’ll just leave that part out though, Mari would tell me to forget it and continue to look through all of these books. I can’t let her do that though. ‘So does that mean that you will be gone again?’ Mari asks me, sadness coating her words.Both Kenji and Levi make a sound of surprise at Jamari’s words. ‘Gone again?’ They both ask at the same time, their wide eyes turning to look at Jamari. Guilt moves through me at the reminder that I disappeared for a couple of days. Jamari had called out to me many times during that t
Jamari’s POVA wholeness fills my mind the moment that Rieka returns back to her place at the forefront with me. The feel of her return wakes me from my sleep, the first restful sleep I have experienced in days. The dream that has plagued me since our run in with Eve thankfully didn’t haunt my dreams for once. ‘I’m sorry Mari, I didn’t mean to wake you.’ Rieka whispers in apology. A laugh moves through our link from me. ‘Why are you whispering? We’re talking inside my head.’ Fully awake now, I attempt to see the clock on the table beside Kenji, but his giant shoulder is blocking my view. I let out a quiet sigh, giving up on seeing what time it is so I don’t wake either of the men surrounding me. ‘She’s whispering because you tend to broadcast your conversations into our heads.’ Levi’s voice fills my mind as he pulls my body so I lay curved against his naked body. Interest begins to stir within me, the jump of his cock on my ass giving away his interest as well. ‘Sorry Handsome, I
Jamari’s POVI’m not sure why Levi thinks the book will magically appear in the desk when it wasn’t here the first time that we checked, but if there is a chance that he could be right about the book being returned to the desk, I am willing to try it. Moving over to the desk, I take a seat in the chair behind the desk and look around. A feeling suddenly washes over me causing a look of surprise to appear on my face. My eyes snap up to where Kenji and Levi stand on the other side of the desk, their attention solely on me. I glance back down at the desk as I run my hand over the top with my palm facing down. Magic sizzles against my skin, surprising me. I jerk my hand back as I stare down at the empty space on the desk in bewilderment. “Do you guys feel that?” I ask, looking back up to Kenji and Levi. They put their hands over the top of the desk like what I had done, holding it there for longer than what I did, before pulling away and shaking their heads.A frown forms on my brow. M
Eve’s POVIt’s been three days since I was last at the old Church ruins, unable to bring myself to come back here after the memories from long ago resurfaced. My eyes roam over the courtyard, as memories of happier times floods me, bringing tears to my eyes. We were supposed to get the rest of our lives together, or at least the rest of his life, instead our life together was cut short, shorter than even humans and their partners. There is no way that Shappa is still alive in the Fae Realm. Time moves differently over there making more time to have passed there than it has here. I let out a deep sigh as the weight of my grief once again threatens to weigh me down. I would give anything to at least get the chance to see my daughter again. Even if she is all grown up. A tear slides down my face. I pray to whichever God or Goddess that will listen that my Father was never able to get his hands on her and make her a part of his harem. Grandfathers shouldn’t have such thoughts. Magic sw
Kenji’s POV “When do we leave for the Vampire Realm?” I would love nothing more than to put off going to the Vampire Realm so I can keep Jamari between just Levi and I a little longer, but we need to release Remiel from his prison quickly. “I have had Ruth send word to Lucern that we are requesting an audience with him and Morgana.” Levi tells me distractedly. Levi has been quiet since we saw his mother outside of the Church yesterday afternoon. “What is troubling you Levi?” I ask him, worried that something might be wrong. “You have been quiet since we came back from the Church and that is not like you.” That was an understatement of course. Levi is the exact opposite of quiet and has been the whole time that I’ve known him. Levi glances in my direction, a frown on his face. “Something has been bothering me since we last spoke with my mother.” He tells me, moving to sit on the couch beside me. “This sounds serious.” I turn my body so I am facing Levi. “It could be a disaste
Jamari’s POVAnxiety courses through my body as we prepare to depart for the Vampire Realm. Aside from my few visits to the Demon Realm and my visit to the Garden of Eden, I haven’t left the Human Realm often. What would the Vampire Realm be like? Would it be eternal darkness so the vampires don’t turn to dust in the sun?A chuckle of nervous energy escapes me at the thought. I doubt the vampires burst into flames in the sun like the movies portray. I’m pretty sure that Eve had some vampires with her when she was trying to get into the Church grounds last week.Another reason for my anxiety is the Vampire King. Lucern. A shiver passes through me at the thought of his name. The interest my body shows in just his name has me concerned for how I will react upon meeting him. If Levi and Kenji’s theory is correct, he could possibly be one of my mates as well. I don’t know if I am ready for another mate just yet. I finally have a working relationship with both Levi and Kenji, and I have Re
Dear Readers, Thank you all for supporting me and my first book Rise of the Alpha Queen. It has been a thrilling ride and I can't believe that I have reached the end of my first book! I love reading the reviews readers have left me about my book, even the ones that are less than positive. I take them in stride and try to be better for future books. So please continue to let me know what your thoughts are on the story. I will be spending the next month going back through and editing my chapters, something I didn't have as much time as I would have liked while writing with a deadline these past few months, and then I will start on book 2. I hope to have book 2 started by the end of September or begining of October. Thank you again for all of your support! I hope you have all enjoyed watching Jamari move into her role as the Alpha Queen. Heidi Monath :) **UPDATE** Book 2: Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate is now available! Hope you all enjoy as we dive more into the Fae Realm.
