I watched how Madison went to curl up in the armchair in the corner of her room and closed her eyes. This was taking a lot out of her. The scent of her sadness was overwhelming, it mixed with the light tantalizing scent that seemed to be her natural one. No one else seemed to notice. They probably thought it was the general smell of everyone there, but I could tell it was hers.
After another twenty minutes or so, the brunette demon cam
[Will]If that insolent pup said one more thing against my cousin’s girlfriend, I was going to break him in half. It didn’t matter that she said their relationship was over when she went with the Vasili’s dragon. If I knew Ford, he would take her back in a heartbeat. Just as soon as he knew she was really his. I’d help if she ended up being everything she and the bear insisted she was.I’d accepted Bryant into m
[Will]Half an hour later, we were in Madison’s room waiting for her to return. Most napped, but I was one of the handful who couldn’t distract ourselves from the sounds in the other bedroom.She certainly didn’t sound like she hated him. Whenever he asked if she wanted her king to do something to her, she told him yes. When it sounded like things were winding down, we were relieved. I listened to what they were saying, now
[Will] There was a tap at the door. When no one answered, there was another tap. I went to open the door. One of the succubae was standing with her arms full of clothes. The platinum blonde. I couldn’t stop my eyes from dipping, Rafe had to mention her chest.“Hiya! I have stuff. Maddie says you guys all need to dress for going out, but we don’t have any extra shoes really.” She grinned.
[Winston] At nearly four, Madison returned to the bedroom and checked on the injured shifters. Terra was already moving around well and Rafe was looking much better. I watched her focus on the others. When she got to me, I caught her eye.“It’s going to be okay, Madison. Trust your seer.” I murmured.
[Ford]I was sitting in an armchair in the living room. Rao was in the chair on my right and Moran on the ottoman to my left. Across from me, Val,
[Ford]‘That was a Goddess Oath.’ Conric growled. ‘We have an avowed wolf connected to us.’I closed my eyes and sank into myself to speak with Conric more privately.
[Ford]Madison held onto the man who’d called himself my cousin as everyone walked. I wanted to go pull her away from him. But Bethany told me she probably found comfort in his scent. I understood. Since he was my cousin, he’d smell a bit like me.The tall man who’d been on the bed was being carried on the back my other avowed wolf, Bryant, and Celia was being carried by the man who’d been holding her hand earlier. Th
[Madison]I finally got the fucking incubi to leave us alone. They were smug as hell and said they were there to make sure we understood, we could be found easily if we ran. I was livid.The Vasili ordered them to track down my group and threaten us. I knew I couldn’t rescind the order or he would know I was stronger than he was. So I told them to go suck their own tails. Then threatened to make it an order if they didn’t leave.
