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

[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 New Life Meeting
We headed up to the living room in the Alpha’s living space. I led the way as we went in. I couldn’t wait to see everyone.When I opened the door, I saw my sister straightening up Dennis’ collar. She looked like a fawning girl totally enamored with her mate. It was like night and day seeing how she treated him as opposed to how she treated Serena.Indie had always had a strong, dominant personality and it bled into her relationship with Serena. When she was with Dennis before, she’d held that strong front up. Now that they were mated, she took on a more submissive role in the relationship.Serena was holding onto Rao until she saw me. She let him go and bounded over, wrapping me in a tight hug. I hugged her back, having missed my best friend so much over the last year.“Maddie! I’m so happy to see you up and around!” She squealed.“I’m thrilled to be up and around.” I giggled.Aria,
The Demon Queen's Destiny The Truth
The room had a heavy feeling to it. I needed to explain everything. They had to understand that I didn’t do it on purpose, that I was stuck and unable to be my true self for so long.If I could have, I would have told them as soon as I arrived home yesterday morning. It was a lot of information. There was so much to tell them all now. I just wanted to go back down to the apartment and be with my mates again. This had to happen though.“Reggie had no memory of the past because of more than just the attack. She was born without it. Maeve Regina is her real name and she wasn’t a concubus, she was… is fae. A High Fae Queen. Reika is also a queen. She is a Ylva… she is the reason Annie called me that. Reika was my wolf. She was trapped in me like Caliban was trapped in Rafe. Like Reggie was also trapped in me. I could use their abilities, but I couldn’t hear them, change into them, or even realize they were there. I felt so alone for so
The Demon Queen's Destiny Welcome Home
The rest of the meeting went smoothly. We went over the different types of training I would need to do and the general attack plans we had. Indie was great with terrain and her superhuman abilities would really come in handy. Ford, Anders, and I were the most eager to get to the vampire.I wanted to make that undead fuck pay for what he did to my mates, to me, and to my friends. It was so much more than justice for the people he’d imprisoned. I couldn’t let anyone else kill him. I wanted to watch the life drain from his eyes and burn his corpse.-When we were done, we headed downstairs. I was happy to see Trista, Landry, and Gail. Not so much Poppy, but the feeling seemed to mostly be mutual. She had never forgiven me for letting Anders think he was my mate. It didn’t matter that I told him I wasn’t and didn’t want to be his mate, she still held me at fault for that.Chris and Kacey were in a far corner chatting. Lions were
The Demon Queen's Destiny Reconnecting
[Ford]After lunch Rao wanted to do an announcement. I put my foot down. That wasn’t happening until tomorrow. Madison was mine. She could belong to everyone else tomorrow.He tried to challenge me, but he was just an alpha and, in the end, a king will beat an alpha every time in a challenge of wills. There was too much I wanted to do. I couldn’t let her go yet. Plus, she needed to mark Aria.Anders had told me how much marking mates helped demons. I’d seen it when Poppy took some of Anders’ pain while he was fighting last year. I knew that I wanted Madison to have that strength, too. She was never gonna leave me again.I couldn’t stop her from going after the vampire, but I could ensure she was as strong as possible. Like me, Aria was happy to have Madison back. She would want to be marked. I wanted that for her.Watching her over the last year, broke my heart. When I’d had the marking dream, I&rsq
The Demon Queen's Destiny Say You're Mine
[Madison]I slid my hand into Ford’s pants. I was aching for him. The way his energy grew stronger as I told him about having a crush on him was delicious. He was always my perfect love and I wanted him so badly.Ford groaned as I stroked him while kissing him. I was barely conscious before when I was with him and Aria, it was like a dream. This would be another true memory.Kissing down his chin, neck, and chest, I slid lower, off his lap. I was on my knees between his legs. I pulled him free of his jeans and kissed from his tip to his base, then licked my way back to the top.As I took him into my mouth, I felt a wave of desire energy coming from him. I looked up and he was watching me stroke and suck him. He caressed my cheek and stroked my hair as I maintained the eye contact while tasting him.He groaned as I swirled my tongue over his tip. I loved all the sounds he made. Ford was so much of my heart. I could feel him in th

[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
