It was an hour before dusk when they met in Madison’s field. Gavin had a large backpack with him and Reggie carried a tent and a bag of her own things. She needed to be prepared.
If the fae king became fertile while she was out, she would have to take a break and go deal with him. Gavin told her he’d keep working while she was gone. Reggie appreciated it.
They entered the woods. Gavin followed as Reggie led the way to the clearing they’d set up camp in. The area she led him to was perfect.
It was a large enough space for the tent to be erected. A stone circle outlined an area for a fire and wood was stacked near

The Demon Queen's Destiny The High Fae King
[Reggie]I walked out of the in-between and into a forested park. I was wearing my traditional demon outfit with the sarong and sandals. My wings stretched out behind me.Even though I’d had my demon form back for a couple weeks, I still hadn’t flown. I sniffed the air. This wasn’t close enough.After walking for a while, I found a minor drop off I could use to take flight. It just made it easier than trying to take off from the ground. I ran and jumped off, gliding for a while before I started working my wings into flight.The cool wind off the ocean gave me a little chill. I enjoyed the briskness. I couldn’t remember if I&rsquo
The Demon Queen's Destiny A Celebration
“Let me make this call, Reggie. Then, I’ll gladly take you up on your offer.” Rhys smiled, indicating his cellphone.I nodded and he called his secretary. I wandered away while he took care of his business. I looked at the art decorating the walls, moving silently sideways and examining everything closely.There was a painting of a woman in a green tunic standing in a battle field. The fight raged around her, but she was calmly standing with a raven perched on her hand. Her hair was blood red and flowing behind her, her skin pale as sun bleached bone.“The triple goddess. Morrigan. Goddess of war, fate, and kings.” Rhys murmured behind me, his arms snaking around my waist.“One o
The Demon Queen's Destiny Waiting for Reggie
[Ford]As the sun rose, I was sitting by Madison’s tree. I picked a few cherries and was telling her about everything that happened the day before. Without Reggie there to distract me, I was able to spend a lot more time tending the field and tree.I started having trouble sleeping three days after she left. I made the effort to eat, but meal times weren’t as much fun without Reggie there to make me laugh or challenge me to eating competitions. I was fairly certain Madison sent Reggie to help me get my strength back. Part of me knew I had to be stronger than I was.Conric missed Reggie, too. He said no one could scratch like she could. Aria tried, but she scratched too fast and unevenly. We knew there wouldn’t be much time left with Reggie when she ret
The Demon Queen's Destiny Breakfast with the King
[Reggie]I opened my eyes and smiled. I’d gotten a lot of my memories back. I remembered friends from childhood, my parents, my sisters, my first boyfriend, and the first time I met my mates.It wasn’t completely clear. I couldn’t remember names, and faces escaped me, but the facts and feelings were all there. It was more than I had before and I was going to cherish every bit of it. I was so close.“Good morning, pheata. Are you hungry?” Rhys asked.“I could eat, but my mother always told me you shouldn’t do heavy physical activities after a meal. So… I think we should definitely have sex again before we go.” I purred.
The Demon Queen's Destiny The Vasili and Vasilia of Seattle
[Reggie]I looked at the number. I didn’t want to call the royals. Mostly, I wanted to take a nap. I had no idea why I was so tired, but it was like something in me was changing. Probably the spell working, or my body preparing for impregnating Rhys.After dawdling for a while, straightening up the shelves, cleaning the fluted edges of the desk, playing with the desk toys, and carefully examining every title of every book on the shelves, I finally couldn’t think of another thing to do instead of calling them. Such bullshit.I groaned. This would be annoying, but I was in their territory and a lot of people had seen me heading to the fae king’s home. I picked up the handset and dialed the number on the paper.
The Demon Queen's Destiny Making a Mate
Rhys laid back and Reggie leaned down, kissing him softly, her tongue teasing along his bottom lip until he opened his mouth to her. Reggie’s hand slid down over his chest to fondle and tease at his nipple while her tail pulled the blanket further and slipped between his legs, exploring the newly formed territory.He arched as the tip of her silky tail found the nub it was looking for. Reggie pulled back from the kiss. She slid her hand down to where her tail marked his sensitive spot.“Rhys, are you trembling because you’re excited or because you’re scared, darling?” Reggie whispered.“A little of both.” He replied softly.“This will be unlike anything you’ve e
The Demon Queen's Destiny Reggie's Memories
[Reggie]I knew I was dreaming. Unlike other dreams, this one held an air of falsehood. I was in a clearing that was familiar, but unfamiliar. It was warm with the late afternoon sun.Flashes of memory showed this place with people roaming, playing, and napping in the sun. Other flashes showed it dark and rain drenched. I shook my head.A woman sat on a wide, flat rock. She tossed a stick for a red and white dog. No. That was a wolf. I saw it was Reika and grinned.This must be the goddess who’d been guiding me. A sudden spark of recognition hit me. The woman from the painting. It was the Morrigan.The woman smiled at me. She had warm, honey brown eyes a
The Demon Queen's Destiny Going Home
[Reggie]The vessel was in a small clearing in the forests of the in-between. It was laid out on a stone alter. A corpse which had been slowly coming back from a state of decay, with the help of my blood, over the last couple weeks. It was entirely ready, its wounds healed and flesh unmarred.I felt the spell crawl up my throat. It was a creepy feeling, which I sincerely hoped never to feel again. Putting my hand up to my mouth, the spell popped out. The inside of the spell swirled a vortex of dark red.“Hello. We’ve come to restore what you lost.” I murmured to the corpse. “In a little while, we’ll bring the anchors.”

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
