Ethan... This was a name that carved into my bones. Someone I'd never forget, regardless whether I was in this world or not. I took a deep breath and considered what she was asking me. I'd had a chance to say goodbye to my son. I would tell Vicky and Georgia how much I loved them and appreciated
We would have to think of something major that we could do to stop them. Otherwise, all was lost. All of sudden, my heart started to pound in fear. I couldn't think, I couldn't feel, and I couldn't breathe. It was as if part of me was dying. 'Alpha,' Talon looked at me worriedly. He asked throu
My mate - the love of my life - laid dying. Flashes of moments we spent together running through my mind. From the moment I first laid eyes on her in the hospital bed, to when I saw her pregnant looking up at the moonlight. Everything led to this moment. I had watched her become the goddess and qu
We all held our breath, waiting for the slightest chance to save the one whose loss would weigh so heavily in our hearts. Cerina looked up at me. "Unless her true fated mate is willing to repay the Goddess on the queen's behalf." I froze. "What… Did you say?" My heart was about to jump out of my
After all, I had promised Rosalie that I would take care of her people. I couldn't leave her in a situation where she would be called upon to invoke the power of the Moon Goddess ever again. Doing so would most certainly kill her the next time she had to do it since she would not have a mate to sav
No, my plan had to work. It just had to. "I only have one question." A female general drew everyone's attention. I gestured for her to go ahead. "How do we know how close they will get to the palace before they put us under siege?" she asked. "They might stop short of that line since it is so clo
**Madalynn's POV "Behar, it's late. Why don't we go to bed?" My mate was checking the map at the desk. I wrapped my arms around his neck from behind. He moved my arms away a bit harshly. "Not now." His tone wasn't as sweet as a couple days ago. I clenched my fists. It was all Rosalie's fault! Tha
I immediately knew who he was. I'd heard about him. It was his half-brother. And Behar's cousin. I couldn't figure out what in the world he was doing here. Did he not value his life at all? "Soren?" Behar folded his arms across his massive chest and looked the smaller man up and down. "What the f
The entire family had gathered in the dining room and was chatting amiably over a very impressive spread that had been laid out by the kitchen–two prime rib roasts, a honeyed ham, and three roast ducks were the centerpieces of the table, all of which were being enjoyed liberally by everyone.George
RowanMom ran her fingers across Selene's head, admiring her fine white hair. She looked every ounce the doting grandmother instead of a ball of uncertainty, like Maeve. Maeve was pacing back and forth near the fall wall of my bedroom, her arms folded across her chest and her head bent as she tried
Kacidra joined in the conversation. "Maeve is right, Rowan. We need to know what's happening with you and Hanna, or else we'll never be able to help."Rosalie's voice was calm and supportive as she asked, "Is it Hanna that's troubling you, son? Is she doing all right?My first instinct was to tell t
Gemma and Ernest had flown down with my parents and their son George, who was just two months older than Maeve's sons.A moment later, the library door opened and more of our family members poured in, as if they were fully aware of the thoughts I'd just had and I'd summoned them. I pushed aside my n
RowanThe castle was abuzz with its usual day-to-day activities. Servants and maids passed me in the hallway carrying baskets of laundry and trays of tea. I could hear the clattering of cookware as I left my office and walked toward the grand staircase off the foyer, seeing the door to the servants'
"Who? What happens?""There's so much more out there," Mara said dreamily. "So, so much more.""Maeve!" Troy called from down the beach.I turned to look at him, and when I turned back to Mara, she had taken off. "Wait!" I called after her, but she had already made it out of earshot, her footsteps l
Best of all, Troy was happy. He was at peace and at home. But there was still much work to be done.We were spending several weeks jumping from island to island, taking stock of the wellbeing of the inhabitants, and making a list of what was needed. Most of the islands were in need of medicine, inf
Maeve–Four Months LaterSuntra was not what I was expecting. I had become accustomed to the seemingly endless white-sand beaches of Avondale, where the sand grit was so fine it felt like powdered sugar as you walked barefoot in the surf. Suntra's sand was coarse and golden and dappled with tidepool
I straightened up a bit, shifting Oliver's weight in my arms as I narrowed my eyes back at him, sizing him up. A man roughly my father's age came bounding out of their house, waving at me apologetically as he leaned to whisper harshly in the ear of the man I assumed was his father.Whatever his son
