I led Aria into the place I had set up. It was a clearing with a canopy bed. The wooden spires leading to the canopy were entwined with vines and flowers. Soft sunlight dappled the ground. The place was beautiful and everything I imagined.
“You’re really planning to mark me?” Aria whispered.
“Yes. I’ve been looking forward to this since the moment I found out. You have no idea how much I missed you, my sweet angel. I barely had time to know you. I learned so much about you in the brief bits I saw while walk

The Demon Queen's Destiny The Trouble with Humans
[Madison]I was taking a walk around the in-between when I heard a scream. It sounded like Indie and it wasn’t the type of scream I remembered hearing when she was having a good time. What else could possibly go wrong?A wisp appeared and guided me to the place Indie was standing. The door looked like the front door of Dennis’ old studio apartment. I remembered going there a few times to hang out with them. Indie always took us along on things that Dennis intended as dates so she wouldn’t be tempted by him.Jogging over, I stopped in front of her. There were tears in her eyes and she looked panicked and angry all at the same time. I wondered what could have my calm, cool, big sister so upset. Indie could always handle anything.
The Demon Queen's Destiny Ford's Room
[Ford]The wisp thing disappeared in front of an arch with vines hanging down. I paused for a moment. I needed to collect myself. I hadn’t actually held Madison in so long, I was nervous. I couldn’t wait to hold her again. I missed her so much.I stepped through the arch and into a clearing. Trees grew around the edge and reached up to create a dome like roof, softening the light of the sun. Madison stood near a tree stump.She was as beautiful as I remembered. Her dark red hair was down. She was wearing the green dress from our date at The Frozen Fringe, but no shoes. Madison smiled and her face lit up. She was perfect again.Conric was going insane in my head. It was really her. I could smell her sweet scent. We wanted to touch her, though, hold her. She ran to me and threw herself into my arms. I gripped her tightly and kissed her soft lips.Burying my nose in the curve of her neck, I inhaled. She wrapped her legs around my waist and
The Demon Queen's Destiny Saving the Humans
[Reggie]Once I finished playing with and making love to Ford, it was time to get moving. I needed to save those humans, say goodbye, and come back to the in-between to claim my true self and finally go home. I couldn’t wait.I made my way back to the items I had the fae guarding and changed into my clothes. I was all settled when the first person made their way back to me. I knew that Aria, Ford, and Dennis would completely forget that I was coming back as soon as they exited their rooms.When Aria arrived, she looked sad. I wanted to hug her so badly. Serena arrived shortly after and saw Aria’s expression. She wrapped her arms around my mate and held her tightly.“What happened?” She whispered.“I… I got mad at her for leaving me. I don’t know why I got so mad. I thought I was over it. She said I didn’t trust her enough to be her anchor.
The Demon Queen's Destiny Saying Goodbye
[Ford]We were working hard to put together a farewell dinner for Reggie. Everyone was dragging a little. We’d grown to really love her. I had to admit, I felt more than a little friendship for her.I hadn’t tried falling for her, but the closer it got to her leaving, the more it felt like watching Madison fade from my life. In the short time Reggie had been with us, she’d healed me. I hated that we had to lose her.Anders’ words from the other day echoed in my head. He hoped Reggie would be my second chance. In a way, she was. Reggie gave me the connection to my Maddie that I’d been missing. She gave Conric the chance to have a wolf mate all his own.If nothing else, Reggie gave us the ability and motivation to keep moving forward. To do more than just survive. I’d miss the hell out of her, but I had some solace in knowing she’d be happy after.Serena told us we shouldn’t think of this
The Demon Queen's Destiny The Return
[Serena]I woke up before my alarm and reached over to turn it off before it had a chance to sound. Rao pulled me back against him with a little growl. I sighed.Last night, his sadness about losing Reggie seemed to stop at the bedroom door. He was more animalistic than he’d been in a while. Not since the very first time we were together.Every time he finished he made me bring him back, over and over, well into the night. I could barely move when he was finally finished claiming me. The way he kept murmuring ‘mine’ into my ear was thrilling. I missed Indie, but at least I had Rao to remind me I wasn’t alone.Now, I didn’t really want to get out of bed. One of the downsides to all the training and stuff we do, is there’s not many days off. No matter how much I want to spend the morning in bed with my mate, I had to go start breakfast.Pushing away, I reached again for my phone and got ahold of it be
The Demon Queen's Destiny Refueling Demons
[Ford]I couldn’t believe Madison was right in front of me. She was exactly as I remembered her. Exactly as she had been in the pictures I had of her. The ones I looked at every day since she had turned to dust. She was as perfect as she’d been in the in-between.Staring at my mate, I took in every inch of her body. There was a small smile playing on her lips. She looked so innocently unaware, like she was sleeping and having a happy dream.“Get them out of there!” Serena commanded.Looking up, I realized everyone else was stunned as well. They’d all frozen and stared at the girls like I had. The spell of seeing them for the first time was broken and we worked to remove the lid.Was this what Reggie had been working on? She gave up her life to give me back my mate. To give us back our queen.I reached in to pull my Maddie out of the coffin while Rao did the same with Indie. Serena was at his side a
The Demon Queen's Destiny Reawakening
[Ford]I awakened to the feeling of a small hand caressing my cheek. I opened my eyes and saw Madison’s beautiful honey brown eyes gazing at me gently. I kissed her with all the love and joy I had in me. She was really there. It wasn’t a dream.Madison gripped my hair and held me tightly against her lips. The hunger in her kiss was doing things to me that I shouldn’t have been comfortable with in bed with another man. It didn’t matter who was there, though. My happiness wouldn’t let it matter.Her hand slipped between us and down my chest. Her fingers trailed over the muscles, taking her time on the journey south to explore everything she could. When she reached her goal, she squeezed and stroked me firmly. I managed to suppress the groan that tried to crawl from my chest.“Maddie?” Aria gasped.Madison left a last, soft kiss on my lips before turning to Aria and capturing her lips. Her hand k
The Demon Queen's Destiny Finally Full
[Madison]I hadn’t realized how much energy would be needed for me to fully wake up. Reanimating a body and, I suppose, turning a body from earth to true flesh, took a lot. The positive of the body was that I wouldn’t be able to get pregnant for a while. It meant I wouldn’t have to be careful, that was good considering just how much feeding I’d needed over the last six hours.The bed moved, but my body stayed warm. It had to be Jeremiah. He was getting up for some reason.“Ford, I’m going to go run a bath for Aria. She needs her bath and sun time. Will you be okay without us for a couple hours?” He asked.“Yeah. She didn’t need as much last time. I should be more than enough for her.” Ford answered.“I don’t want my bath and sun time. I want to stay here until she wakes up properly.” Aria pouted.“No, angel. You need your bath and sun or you&rsq

The Demon Queen's Destiny Epilogue - 10 years later
[Heather]I was a little surprised when I got an invitation to go to the private tenth anniversary celebration of the end of the Helvegr War. In the end, it had been a three-day fight between the resistance and the False Elites. There had been some coverage on the second and third day, once we found out where the battle was being fought.It had been a shock to the world when Indira and Madison Coto were seen in footage. They’d later explained that a massive spell had brought both sisters back to life, one that was nearly impossible to work. Scientists had asked to meet with them, but both sisters declined citing their history with the camps as why they weren’t comfortable.In the years after the fight, humans had grown more accepting of supernaturals. They lived just like we did, had families like we did, and only wanted the same things we did. All of the distress in the different communities died down after a while.I was the main media conta
The Demon Queen's Destiny Damages
“You thought you could distract me? What a waste of an opening to use it on your precious mate, instead of on getting away or attacking me.” Devere snarled.“It’s not a waste if the person I love lives. You were never going to get what you wanted because you’re self-involved and self-interested. How disappointed must your sire have been to have created such a useless vampire. Your ambition is lacking talent and follow through. You don’t take risks.” I snorted as I flipped him over me.I rolled his body and locked his arm behind him. My foot was in the middle of his back.“This is a great position from this side.” I laughed.He started calling me names. In the end, he’d weakened himself. No one was really eager to feed a vampire. The blood he fed on was weak from food rationing, lack of sunlight, and general poor health that comes with living underground for so long.Pulling as hard as I co
The Demon Queen's Destiny The Battle Begins
We soon had everyone set. It was about four in the afternoon, that would give us three hours until the sun started setting, and another hour after until any vampires made their way out. It would work in our favor.There were several advantages to attacking so early in the day. The first was the lack of vampires, the second was that the enemy wouldn’t expect us since they were all on the vampires’ schedule and slept during the day. Our demons were all recently fed and theirs were on rationed energy because of a lack of partners.If everyone was out fighting, the vampires wouldn’t have a chance to feed before joining which would make them weaker. We didn’t need a fair fight. The only advantage we ever gave them was letting them know when the fight would happen. If they chose not to be ready for it, that was their problem.I was dressed in traditional demon garb and standing next to my nude mate as our witches stepped forward. Ford shifted t
The Demon Queen's Destiny Battlefield Bound
It was the day after my birthday. For the second year in a row, I was preparing for a battle. This time, I knew what I was truly up against and the fight ahead of me. It wasn’t a last minute preparation, but one a year in the making.The feeling in the compound was a mix of excitement and fear. A lot of the omega level and non-dominant shifters elected to stay and protect the families, children, and weaker species that couldn’t join the fight. No one faulted them for it.We dominant members were made for this. Battle was in our blood. The demons were all chomping at the bit to get out there and do some damage.I saw Garrett and Celia in the gathering area where people were saying goodbye to their loved ones. Tony and Gail were holding each other tightly. I knew she wasn’t going, even being a full demon, Gail was not a fighter.Rena was kissing Rao and Indie goodbye. They each put a hand on her slightly bulging belly. Dennis gave her a bi
The Demon Queen's Destiny A New Fight
[Madison]I was curled in Ford’s arms when I heard shouting from the living room. Aria and Jeremiah were having a disagreement. They had been for a few days.Though both tried to get me involved, I refused. He wanted her to stay here with Val and Serena instead of fighting. Aria wanted to be in the battle with us, supporting as much as she could, even though she wasn’t much of a fighter.That was his main argument. She never excelled in the fighting strategies that were being taught to demons. In the special classes that Indie was running, she was falling behind.My Aria may be a strong woman and a fighter of sorts, just not the kind that you look to in battle. I knew she would be a lot of help with her abilities as a Eulalia and a siren. I wasn’t going with one side or the other.If I did that, Ford would start trying to get me to stay behind as well. He would site the fact that the vampire already killed me once. T
The Demon Queen's Destiny Clinical Evaluations
[Serena]Rao, Indie, and Dennis came with me to see the glimmer dragons for a check up on the baby. Everyone was excited. They wanted to hear the heartbeat.Because I was mixed siren and demon, it was assumed that my pregnancy would be as long as Aria’s had been. We wouldn’t be able to tell until it was safe for us to leave and see a doctor with an ultrasound machine. I knew it was soon.The clinic was set up in the old pack clinic, but we had a field clinic that was used for training. Neither one was fully equipped, but this was better for taking care of people in a set up that they were familiar with.We all waited in the exam room for Marnie to be free. She was taking care of my prenatal stuff. One of the other dragons came and drew a vial of blood for testing.I was nervous. I hadn’t planned on a baby so soon and I had no idea how this even happened. We were being safe. I was going to fight alongside my mate. Now
The Demon Queen's Destiny Important Plans
I was laying out in the sun chairs on the deck with Indie, Aria, and Serena. After having my picnic with Ford a week and a half ago, I’d instituted mate bonding times for me and Indie. She wanted to be planning things with Rao, but I got her to understand.When I pointed out that our mates were feeling like they were only important when we fed, she stopped fighting against it. We set aside an hour a day to just sit with our mates or play with them and talk. It was the best idea.Serena stopped wearing a fake smile and was practically glowing. It added more to my relationship with Aria and Ford. There was time the three of us spent together, time we spent with Jeremiah and Yvonna, and time that was just one on one.Other demons saw this and followed suit. Soon the whole camp would probably be having time with their mates where they would just bond. I thought it would increase morale exponentially.Rao and Indie impressed me. They grew closer and real
The Demon Queen's Destiny Ford's Picnic
[Madison]I cleaned up after training and started heading out to the main dining room to have lunch. Ford was standing in the entry with a large basket. I raised an eyebrow and wandered toward him.“What’s going on, honey?” I asked.“I’m takin’ you on a picnic, baby.” He replied with a slight smile.“A sexy picnic?”Ford laughed. “Not this time, baby. There are too many kids around here and I don’t want to go to the in-between. We’ve been spendin’ so much time workin’ on battle plans, trainin’, and keepin’ you full of energy after all the extra trainin’ you’re puttin’ yourself through. I just wanna be with you without all that junk. And without… Aria. I miss the time we were alone.”There was a strain in my eyes like I was going to cry. I’d been so obsessed with getting everything over with in the
The Demon Queen's Destiny Marking Madison
We went downstairs and I said goodbye to Jeremiah as Madison approached. She was smiling so brightly. I knew she was happy that we were finally going to mark each other. I was too.“Take care of our girl.” Jeremiah said to her.She hugged him. It didn’t seem forced. I was glad that they were friends. It would make our relationship easier. I knew it was what Madison wanted from me and Ford.The time he and I had to bond over the last few months really helped. I don’t know that I would have gotten over my jealousy as quickly if Madison had been around. Seeing them together since she’d come back had brought some of those tinges back, but I’d been able to fight back.“Of course I will. Just like you did.” She replied. “Well, not exactly.”They let each other go and she reached out for my hand. I grasped her hand and she pulled me to her. She placed a gentle kiss on my lips.“Are y
