"Chloe," I murmured, trying to calm my raging heart. "Why are you up again?"

She hadn’t been asleep for that long, and I could only assume that she had a nightmare.

"Didn’t you say," Chloe gasped, covering her mouth. "There was nothing."

Fuck, leave it to a nine-year-old to not know what to say and what not to say. Lifting my hands, I covered my face to hide the flush that was beginning to creep up my neck.

"You talked about me?" Ashton asked with interest. "Was it good?"

Lowering my hands, I shot a glare at Ashton, who was lookin

    Asher and Antoine were outside of the packhouse waiting when Ashton and I arrived. They eyed us suspiciously as we closed the distance. I felt instant embarrassment over how this probably looked, but now really wasn’t the time."Why are you here?" Antoine asked, eyeing Ashton. "Weren’t you supposed to be vacationing with Meghan and her family?"A jolt of shock rushed through me as I shot a look at Ashton. Did this mean that what he said about being asked to watch over me and my siblings was all a lie?"Doesn’t matter right now." Ashton snapped, his eyes darkening. "Thia said you mentioned something about finding an informant in the inbetween."

    The morning came much too soon. Despite being told to get some sleep, I was unable to and instead just sat up staring into space as my mind whirled.I still couldn’t believe how quickly things were going from bad to worse, especially after two years of peace since King Nigel’s defeat. It was all so weird and, for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why it would happen.Sighing, I leaned back on the couch and threw my arm over my eyes."Thia?" Chloe’s sleepy voice called from upstairs. "Why are you awake?"I waited as Chloe bounded down the stairs, two at a time, and then jumped into my lap.

    We walked slowly through town, taking in the sights that it had to offer. For this place to be full of darkness, the streets were alive with families and venders.Bright fairy lights lined the carts, making it easier to see the goods that each had to offer. They carried everything from food to hand-crafted goods to potions. It was all so different from our world that I found myself getting sucked into it all."Don’t think about it." Ashton murmured close to my ear.Jumping back, I shot him a glare as a growl escaped me."What did I tell you about personal space?" I hissed, trying to keep my voice low so we didn

    We stepped out into a whole new world filled with dangerous creatures in their natural states and hagglers with dark magic.The street below our feet was rough and cracked, threatening to trip us at any moment. Gangsters stood in clusters, smoking and growling about their most recent fights."Remember, don’t make eye contact." Asher reminded us as we began to work our way through the thrumming crowd.I knew that Asher said that we shouldn’t make eye contact, but this was the first time I had seen tengus and kitsunes, and my curiosity was getting the better of me."Ma am." A kitsune with large white

    "Q, it’s nice to meet you." Asher said, standing and holding out a hand. "I’ve heard a lot about you."Q didn’t respond or acknowledge Asher as he waited. It was only after a few moments that Asher gave up and sat back down."That was rude." Ashton grumbled, leaning back and crossing his arms."Ashton." I hissed, elbowing him. "I don’t think he can see."I wasn’t sure if Ashton and Asher noticed it when he first arrived, but Q seemed to be focused on nothing as he stood in place listening to us."She’s correct

    "We’d appreciate that." Asher responded. "Now, I think we’ve taken enough of your time."Standing, he gave a slight bow to Q before motioning for Ashton and I to follow.I stood first, nearly stumbling backwards, forgetting that Ashton had hold of my hand. Glaring, I tried to yank it free, but Ashton kept a strong hold."Figure out your price and we will meet again tomorrow." Asher continued, oblivious to the oddness that was going on between me and my confusing mate."Have a good evening." Q said simply, getting up and heading out of the room.

    The sound of thunder roused me from a dreamless sleep as the room I was currently occupying lit up from a flash of lightning. I could hear the wind howling against the glass of my window and small droplets of rain beginning to fall.SIghing, I got up and looked out into the night where the world was becoming chaotic from a storm that was just beginning to rage.Just beyond my door, I couldn’t hear a sound and found myself wondering if Ashton was asleep. I was suddenly thirsty, but didn’t want to have to run into him if he was up.Being extra quiet, I made my way across the room and slowly opened my door to peek into the living room beyond.

    A low groan escaped Ashton’s lips as I took his dick into my mouth, letting my tongue glide across his head and shaft.Man, he was big and I wasn’t able to take it all, but what I couldn’t fit, I wrapped my hand around and began to move my mouth together with it."Shit, Thia," Ashton growled, reaching down and wrapping his hands in my hair. "Do you know what you’re doing?""Mhmm," I mumbled as I wrapped my fingers around his girth.How the fuck did I not know what I was doing? I was pleasing my mate and, in return, pleasing myself. All reason was gone, and only the sensations and sounds we wer

    [Leah's POV]I looked around the table at all the smiling faces who were here to celebrate my 21st birthday. Even though I insisted that I didn't want to celebrate because I needed to study for Ian's herbal medicine quiz the next day, Thia insisted. After all, according to her, that was the day that I became a true adult."Auntie Leah," Serenity murmured, fixing her large blue gaze on mine. "Why do you look so unhappy?"For only five, she most certainly was perceptive. However, how could I possibly say that I wasn't happy because the one person I hoped to see here wasn't present?"I'm okay." I murmured, jostling her dark wavy hair that was the exact color of Haidan's. "I'm just tired.""You're lying, auntie." My nephew, Devlin, huffed."Leave your poor auntie alone." Thia snapped, shooting a glare towards her son. "Today is to celebrate, not to interrogate.""But...""No buts, young man." Ashton warned, making his way to the table from the kitchen.As he took his seat beside Thia, I s

    [Thia's POV]I stood on the stage, staring out into the crowd of familiar faces and strangers. Today was the day of my ceremony to become luna of Ashton's pack, and I still found myself unable to believe that this was happening. After recovering from Lord Santos' attack and saving the world as we knew it, you would think that I would be happy to be going through something like this. However, it was nerve-wracking and my heart was hammering in my chest.Sweeping my eyes across the crowd of onlookers, I found my siblings standing in the center, smiling. The twins were thrilled that their older sister was being made a 'queen' and Leah was happy to be getting more involved with pack life.Letting out a breath, I looked at Ashton as he made his way towards me. A brilliant smile played on his lips and his eyes were ablaze with delight as he reached out and took my hands for all to see."Don't be nervous. Otherwise you'll stress out Devlin. " Ashton murmured, leaning in close to my ear.As

    [Ashton's POV]My heart pounded in my chest as we raced towards the portal that would take us back to our world. For some reason, I had a bad feeling that something was happening there and didn't want Thia to be put in any more danger.When we arrived at the portal, Haidan and Antoine were the first to go through, followed by Asher, leaving only Thia and I."Go!" I called as Thia eyed it. "I'll be right behind you.""But…""What a cute scene."Shit, shifting my gaze from Thia, I looked to where a large man with glowing red eyes and long black hair was making his way towards us."You," Thia growled, seeming to recognize him. "Seems you discovered my escape quicker than I thought.""Go!" I called, grabbing Thia and jumping through the portal.Light swirled around us as wind tore at our skin before we tumbled onto the ground of our hideout in the inbetween."Why did you do that?" Thia hissed, quickly getting to her feet."What's wrong?" Haidan asked Antoine, drawing our attention."Brail

    [Thia's POV]I watched with wide eyes as Andrew and Ashton rolled around on the ground. I was having a hard time believing what was directly in front of me and couldn't help but wonder if it was a dream.'Get out of here, Haidan and Antoine are waiting by the window.' Ashton huffed as I remained in place.'I'm not leaving you.'How could he possibly expect me to just up and leave while he was fighting a powerful vampire?Looking around, I tried to find something that could be used as a weapon. When I spotted a torch sitting against the wall, I began to move.I weaved in and out of the bodies that were locked in battle until I reached what I was after. I could only hope it wouldn't be too hard to dislodge without my lycan strength. Reaching up, I wrapped my hands around the smooth wood and began to pull. After a few tugs, it began to move, and then, with a loud crack, it snapped, giving me the perfect edge to do what I had in mind.Turning, I quickly ran back to where I left Andrew an

    [Leah's POV]"Have you heard anything yet?" I snapped, stopping in the middle of the room I was currently waiting in with Ian and Dion."Not yet." Dion huffed in annoyance. "Are you going to ask that same question every five minutes?"It had already been almost a day since Asher and the others left to seek the help of the necromancers to help Thia. Initially, I tried to go with them, but the irritating kitsune brothers held me back."I wouldn't have to bother you if you hadn't trapped me." I growled, shooting a glare at Dion. "Blame yourself.""You would have been no help to them." Ian sighed, fixing me with his stoic gaze. "Their mission is dangerous and you aren't even trained to fight."I bit back my response to Ian's dig. Even though I wanted to argue, I knew that he was right. I didn't know the first thing about self-defense after being protected by Thia up until now. Even though I knew, that didn't stop me from wanting to help."Anyway, please take a seat." Ian continued. "You'r

    [Ashton's POV]I looked around at the hellish scene in front of me, trying to determine which direction we should go. "We need to wait for the collector." Asher announced as if reading my thoughts."Collector? What the hell is that? " I asked, narrowing my gaze."The one that takes the damned to the demon lord." Asher responded matter-of-factly.Nodding, I turned to the tengu that remained on the ground shaking. It looked like even in death, his soul was still affected by the poison we dosed him."How long do you think til that collector arrives?"Now that we made it into the underworld, I had no interest in wasting time. I didn't know how Thia was and couldn't relax until I saw her."Any minute now.""Over there!" Haidan announced, pointing towards the horizon.Turning, I fixed my gaze on where she pointed and found two cloaked men making their way towards us with a rolling cage."Are we actually going to let them put us in that?" I asked Asher. "How the hell are we supposed to get

    I peered around the corner of the building we were currently hiding behind. According to those damn necromancers, our target should be leaving the bar around this time.As much as I hated doing someone's dirty work, I reminded myself that this was for Thia and that I needed to get it done as quickly as possible."If you remain so tense, we will be sensed." Antoine snapped from behind me. "I get you're terrible at being patient, but if we fuck this up, we won't be able to rescue Thia.""I know," I growled, pulling in my aura that I didn't realize was trickling out.Letting out a huff of frustration, I turned away from Antoine and fixed my gaze on the same door we had been watching for the past hour.So far, only overly drunk kitsunes and mages had exited, not the guy we needed to kidnap.Finally, after what felt like eternity, the door opened and out stepped our man.Keeping my gaze ahead, I watched as he looked around while pulling out a cigarette. When he was sure he was alone, he li

    [Thia’s POV]I stood in front of a large mirror, taking myself as Martha stood behind me looking smug. She had spent the last hour doing my hair and makeup, and now all that was left was to get dressed.Peering over, I noticed the blood red sequin gown hanging on the wall, as well as the corset perched on a chair beside it."I don’t think that is a good idea." I murmured, pointing to the corset. "It isn’t safe for a pregnant woman, correct?"For a moment, Martha remained quiet, considering my words.

"He is a little on edge since losing his mate.""Is she the one you need our help locating?" Fred asked, furrowing his thick brows. "Could you tell me what it was she did to offend the lord of the underworld?""It wasn't her." I growled. "Watch your damn mouth!""Ashton!" Haidan hissed, shooting me a look of disapproval.
