Anders turned into the parking lot and drove to the back. I had him park near the door. I pulled Aria out of the car with me after explaining to Anders that I needed to keep her nearby, to make my mind calm down after dealing with the doctor.

He accepted it easily. There was nothing I could really do without him being able to figure it out. At least… nothing he was expecting.

Aria and I waited for Denny after Anders headed for the front of the building. Before I even found my angel, before I ever knew about the enslaved incubi and concubi, I’d been planning this. Ford told me L

    We ate quietly for a while. I wanted to let the information sink in for Dennis. The rest of it was going to be difficult in a different way. I hoped having that connection would help him come to the right decision. “She loved me? No matter how many times I asked her out, she always said no. I felt like there was something, but I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me. Sometimes I worried I was turning into Nathan.” He snorted.“That would be pretty much impossible. You are a very beautiful man, he’s a cave troll compared to you. Not that I’ve met many cave trolls, but I’ve heard they aren’t pretty….” I chuckled.

    [Madison]When we finished, we went outside. Anders was leaning against his car, looking agitated. I guess it had been a rather long lunch. I walked Denny to his car and he gave me a little gift wrapped box.“For your birthday.” He said softly.“Thank you, Denny.” I grinned and opened it.The box inside the wrapping was a jewelry box. I opened it to find an oval shaped silver locket. When I looked inside, there was a picture of Indie on one side and Serena on the other. Tears filled my eyes and

    [Aria]I looked at the people surrounding me. I was nervous. There were so many people and I was unprotected. Celia approached me and I got more nervous. I was afraid they would still blame me for what I had to do.They couldn’t understand. Caleb may have cared about me, but my punishments for disobedience were terrible. He would experiment. It wasn’t as bad as some of the things I watched him do to others, but it was painful. I was the only succubus he could cut up. I was the only siren he’d ever seen.

We talked about all the things I would show her and how excited I was to introduce her to all of my other friends later. I knew that Serena would be thrilled to find out she had a little sister. She wanted family she could really connect with, another siren would be wonderful.W

She got to see both of her sister’s mates, both of her friends. People she shared her heart with.When Aria was about ten feet away she froze. The man, standing near the woman Maddie hugged, was beautiful. She’d never seen someone as perfect as him, until she met Maddie. Aria’s world spun in the same way it had when she looked up in Caleb’s office and saw her standing there.

    [Trista]The walk back to the house was as depressing as it normally was. Landry and I weren’t as concerned about the camp thing, because Madison wasn’t worried.I loved her and wanted her safe, but a demon queen is a warrior queen. The shapeshifters didn’t understand. She was everything a queen should be.When we got inside, we found Drayce and Anders in the kitchen with Poppy and Gail. They were smiling like they had a secret. That made me more nervous than Madison going to any number of camps.

Concubae are supposed to be among the most beautiful women in the world. Even more than succubae. Though, I must say, you are rather… short.” He snorted. “I thought you’d be more like Poppy. Statuesque, regal. She’s more of a queen than you.”“Okay.” I shrugged.I’d dealt with bullies in school and jerks who did that whole ‘negging’ thing. He was just

The Vasili was rubbing circles into his mate’s back and cooing tenderly to him.“Are you okay, Drayce?” I asked softly, walking toward them.“I thought he was going to kill you, Maddie. How were you able to look him in the eye and laugh? No one can do that. How can you be okay with going to Nettleston’s care, knowing our father will be there?” Drayce said breathily.

    [Reggie]I sat in the tree tops and leaned forward, adjusting my braided bun. For three days, I’d been scouting the area. Lots of ex-trackers would come through here, but I would lose their scent. There had to be an entrance nearby and I intended to find it.A few minutes later, a tiger came through. I loved the rich scent of the large cats. There was more power to them than to almost any other shifter I’d seen. Using my tail, I lowered myself to the bottom branch. Quietly, I gripped it and gently dropped to the ground. The tiger paused and sniffed. He wouldn’t smell me, though.I found the urine of female animals in estrus, especially carnivores and omnivores, would completely conceal my scent. Of course, it led to me having to sleep in trees, but nothing could be done. Thank goodness, wolves can’t climb.

  • The Demon Queen's Duty   Epilogue: Enter Reggie

    Reggie woke up with a pounding… everything. Her head hurt the worst. She rubbed her eyes and registered the dried blood on her hands. Where her teeth had grown back, her gums tingled and itched. At least she was unconscious for that part. She examined her limbs, broken joints had mended properly and most of the bones were straight. That was good. Trying to find someone to help her rebreak bones wouldn’t be easy. With gentle care, she ran her fingers over her mangled wings. They would take a lot more time to heal. Those bastards. She could still smell them and committed those scents to memory. Before she finished her mission, she would hunt them down and eat their hearts. Her poor, beautiful wings. She whimpered at the

    [Ford]It was nearly May when Madison’s body began turning to dust. I came out to talk with her, like I did every morning, and saw her toes were flaking away. I wasn’t ready to lose her yet. A mournful howl raised in my throat and drew the attention of most of the compound.The council of alphas, the Helvegr, and everyone from the Vasili’s old house rushed to the clearing. We stood silently as we watched the tips of her fingers, toes, tail, and wings starting to turn to ash and float or fall away. Aria hugged me tight. Serena hid her face against Rao’s chest.

He didn’t want to make us into targets for the resistance. I would never do that anyway.A lot of news stations tried to get interviews, but any s

    On the way to the main house, I pointed out a few things. The training grounds for shifters, the gym, the barn that had been allotted as the training space for demons.There was a large greenhouse and some animals which were kept for food. I told him the shifters would go hunt in the woods for most of the meat we needed. There was also a river fed lake that appeared a week ago and seemed to be filled with large fresh water fish.We came in through the back door and I led him to the dining room. I couldn’t wait to introduce him to everyone. Serena was right by the door. Her smile turned to wide-eyed shock as she saw the mark on my shoulder.
