Kayda. I sat tucked into Andy's large bed as she slept off the overwhelmingly drained emotions of the afternoon, and I just stared into space deep in thought. If the so-called master now knew my secret, I was going to have to find a way to protect my child and my newfound friend. I looked at Andy as she slept. She was still so pale, and her eyes puffy from the tears. Why would the moon goddess pair her with someone like the master? A mate was meant to be a gift, the moon Goddesses gift to her shifter children. Each mate was meant to make the other stronger and better, was Andy meant to soften the harshness of the master but if so, he was destroying her. She was so kind-hearted that I could feel that instantly when I met her, she deserved a nice mate and her freedom. When Andy finally woke, she insisted we go get something to eat, so we went to the change. I reluctantly pulled on a dress as I didn't need to provoke the master whilst working on my escape plan. I hated the fact I had t
Rori. I hung up the phone after my mate Ben had relayed on the plan, I was a little shocked that my straight laced by the book brother was okay with it. I was even more shocked that both my overprotective mate and overprotective brother were giving me the slightly risky job of breaking out a rogue and delivering him to them. I would not have been surprised if they both felt Sage and I were incapable of it being women, but maybe the toxic Alpha's were learning. "More like desperate." Tara, my wolf chuckled in my head. "Guess the only one Eoin and Jagger were willing to risk their precious twin sister for was their mate." "Yes, but I wish it was because they trusted us." I sighed. Tara laughed in my head. "You think Alpha male wolves would utter the words that we are just as capable as them. They have started to evolve to believe it and give us a little more credit, but saying it aloud is pushing it." My wolf laughed as I rolled my eyes. I found Sage sitting alone in the palac
Kayda. My Dragon glared at the man before us as he went to move towards us. "Do not take one step further." She boomed, but he froze. The blue fire licked my hands, but it wasn't hot. "No one ever said the girl had fire power." Cadmus smiled delight, dancing in his eyes. "A fire dragon and a royal blood line in you, Adalinda." Glee now evident in his demeanour. "Is he mad?" I asked my dragon in our mindlink. "He old enough on this damn earth to be a little nuts. I believe they call it eccentric." she responded. "How old?" I asked. "He went into hibernation for hundreds of years. Something must have awoken him." she explained. "I died a millennia ago, or so it feels. I had lived my natural life cycle with my human counterpart until another soul suited to me came along. Then the God's and Goddesses paired me to you, Kayda. I became anchored to you and Flame equally." she told me in our private link. "Why did you never tell me any of this?" I was shocked. "You n
Rori "Well?" My father prompted his arms folded. I stayed silent, as did Sage and her vampire companion. In my experience, my father had already worked out what was happening or at least a version that he could fathom. "So, seeing as you two knew nothing about the rogue, am I correct in guessing your brother is behind this little jail break?" he continued as I had anticipated. "No." I lied as a reflex from an early age Eoin, and I had the sibling protection thing down. We never told on each other even when caught red-handed. "Really, Rori?" he asked. "You're a Luna, a mother, and a mated woman, and you're really going to lie to me like your sixteen again?" I crossed my own arms now, seeing an opening in his argument. "Exactly, you're right. I am a grown woman and a Luna, and yet here you are questioning me and treating me like I am still sixteen." I replied. "Father issues aside Rori. I am the king, and this rogue is under my protection and order of imprisonment, so bus
Kayda. Andy's declaration of the rejection of the mate bond caused Drakos to clutch his chest and fall to his knees with a roar. The roar was so chilling it drew my attention briefly from my friend. Andy didn't make a sound, her eyes fixated on Drakos as he grappled with his pain. "Accept the rejection." she finally said through gritted teeth as I now realised she was fighting under her own waves of pain from the fracturing bond. I heard like most shifters had that the shattering of the mate bond was unbearable to us. It was such a powerful gift that to refuse it was destiny changing and, therefore, in theory, came at a cost. Andy paled as another wave of pain washed over her as Drakos did not accept the rejection. I reached out for my friend as she fainted, and I cradled her in my arms as I fell to the floor with her. The blue fire stayed around us in a protective circle, but from my position on the ground holding Andy, I could no longer see Drakos or the orange groove. "If h
Eoin. I had been sitting on the deck staring into the glass I held willing the damn boat to move faster when I saw the shimmer appear and from it fell Rori, Sage, the rogue and the professor who had been tagging along with Sage lately. Seeing the tourtured face of the rogue that was filled with emotions and the disgruntaled look of the professor who clearly wasn't sure what was happening here. I stood quickly, and along with Ben, James, and Arthur, we rushed to help the girls. Arthur immediately rushed to help Sage, who pulled away from him and gave him a glare. The professor guy then helped her to her feet, and his stare was fixated on Arthur. He did, however, show his respect by bowing his head to the Siren King despite any anomosity he was feeling. He then turned and bowed to myself and my Gamma, along with Ben. "Let's hope whatever shit is going on with them holds out until we get Kayda back." Jagger, my wolf, spoke in our mind link, cementing my thoughts that something else was
Kayda. Daisy looked like someone about to throw up as she constantly glanced over her shoulder at the unconcious Drakos we had thethered to the tree. "Come on, Daisy, we need to move and get somewhere safe with Andy." I hissed, drawing her attention back to me. I didn't want to scare her anymore than she already was, but there was an urgency to the situation. "I am not sure those chains or that tree will hold him. If he shifts into his dragon, I fear nothing will hold him back." I added as I strained to pick up Andy. Being pregnant really was messing with my strength, much to my irksome realisation. Daisy dutifully grabbed Andy's feet as we stumbled in tandem across the courtyard through the orange trees and inside. We headed to my bedroom and placed Andy on the bed there. "Who do we need to worry about here, Daisy, besides Drakos?" I asked her as she bit her lip. "Mr Burton he has served Drakos for years, the gaurds who remain mostly outside on the perimeter of the island.
Eoin. I pulled myself from the sea water and shook off the excess water as I waited for the others. Arthur was next shifting from his siren form back to his everyday form to wade out of the water. Ben, James, Chance, Ash, Sage, Marcus, and my sister Rori all appeared in two row boats tugged in by Sirens. Once everyone was on the beach, we did a quick recon of what was ahead. There was a fortress like a mediterrian style huge villa with high walls surrounding it and steep cliffs on three sides that fell into the deep ocean. It was clear there were gaurds stationed on the walls and at all points of entry. We were out numbered, so Arthur called some of the Siren warriors he had with us to go ahead and take out some of the gaurds. We moved quickly and swiftly, and before long, we were inside the large wooden door of the villa, leaving behind the mini brawl that was still going on behind us on the perfectly manicured lawn. Once we had a second to collect ourselves, I took a deep breath,
