Angel Conrad's PovI don't know of a royal that isn't present in this feast together with their kin. Even the Alphas of far lands are in the room. Glad We had enough food prepared for both the rich and the poor. The difference is that the food and wine for Royals was served inside this huge hall while the commoners are having their feast outside."Who would have thought that a wise human girl would gain more glory than the mighty angel kings in a period of few months?" the old alpha of Blackmoon pack says in a playful tone and the royals sited around the long table burst out with laughter.Our mate has truly become a legend, to a point she is now thought to be more powerful than us despite the fact that no one else apart from us and her father knows of her unique powers."With that breathtaking face one can barely believe she is human," the young Prince of Howlstone pack comments, casting an amorous gaze at our mate who sits at a different table with the alpha of Silverpaw and the you
KEIRA'S POVWhat was I thinking? That after the wedding we would just hang out here chatting like old friends? I clearly did not think about all the intricacies of marriage because otherwise I would have disappeared forever and allowed them to love Lyna. The idea of being naked in front of their eyes would not have scared her to the core. Unlike me she was eager and confident when offering her body to them. I am more terrified than I ever have been just thinking of what is expected of me. My body stiffens as my newly wed husbands take steps towards me. Do we have to do this?"Look at you, so effortlessly beautiful and standing all alone," Garren says while wrapping his strong hands around my waist. Conrad comes from behind, pulls back my hair and nibbles at my right ear. Their alluring scents lull some of my nerves, but a huge potion of the anxiety still remains. Angel Fenris closes in and straight away smashes his lips against mine. The hands of his brothers explore my body, and t
Keira's pov"I don't feel ready for this. I might have made a mistake," I say. They all raise their eyebrows, looking quite bewildered. "You don't mean that . . . marrying us was a mistake, right?" Angel Fenris questions. I don't know how to apologise for this without hurting them. I am failing them in the worst way possible. "I don't think I was ready to be your queen. I am utterly terrified of . . . " "Sex?" Conrad questions. He doesn't sound as angry as I had expected. "It's fine to be shy the first time. You should know that you're absolutely beautiful, Keira. And making love isn't an immoral thing between married couples.""You can touch us too if you like. Would you feel more confident if we got naked?" Garren asks with a smirk. I am their mate and should be flattered. But I am still overwhelmed by indescribable fear."I don't think my instincts are working well," I say. "Can I get a glass of water?" "Sure. We can also hold ourselves tonight. Wait for the moment that you'
Keira's PovI feel like I have lost them despite their presence right beside me. Without a mate bond they would never have me as a potential queen or wife. I also doubt that without it I can keep them all."Is there a chance that you may have made the wrong wish with the stone? Or maybe that witch Lyna did it," Angel Fenris asks while chewing on a piece of bread with disinterest."I did not make any wishes concerning our mate bond. Lyna died before she could make every one of hers. I do not think this has anything to do with the stones," I answer.We could ask my father to make his last wish and restore our mate bond. But I am afraid of using that wish when we have no idea who or what is behind the loss of our mate bond."I must revisit the sacred fountain, find out if I can get some answers from those mysterious waters," I say."We shall come with you," Garren says."No. We still don't know what is behind this. The palace must remain well guarded, not just by soldiers," I point. "You
That sounds utterly ridiculous. Silverpaw's old sherman is the only person I ever allowed access to our mate bond, and he was known to be a good man. Besides, how would messing up with our mate bond benefit him?"You know where we can find the idiot? I am sure the bond will return as soon as I cut off his head," Conrad asks the ghost of his mother."I am afraid you came a bit too late, son. Your enemy used Keira's blood to create a new mate bond between you and his wicked daughter. She desires to become the new queen and forever enjoy your wife's hard earned admiration. With the stolen mate bond and her father's spells she can make you and your brothers believe that she is Keira, your true mate," the ghost answers.Stunned silence envelops us as her words sinks in. "We must return to the palace immediately!" Conrad says, worry rising in his voice. "Fenris and Garren need to know!""Do not go back to the palace! Your enemies already arrived. Your brothers will not be in their right min
Keira's PovHow was trusting in their love for me supposed to help me win when they are comfortably killing me. I can feel myself slipping towards a permanent sleep as my strength wanes and my limbs stop fighting. I hear a deep groan before Garden's hand leaves my neck. I fall down on the floor and my eyes fly open. I notice that both Garren and Fenris collapsed as well. They do not seem to be in pain, but they are huffing and puffing as if extremely tired. "Hey! We must leave," Conrad's worried voice urges as he comes to squat by my side. I had asked him to stay outside so that he wouldn't fall into the Shaman's spell as well. Guess I screamed loud enough for him to hear. "I cannot kill my bewitched brothers. Let's leave before I have to."He picks me up in his arms and make a rush for the door. "Where do you suggest we go?" he asks while setting me down on the front yard to take off his shirt. His massive wings spring out of his back. "My father is still in there. I cannot leave
Keira's PovI read the text titled, "The Identity Spell," frowning at it's weird content. "To steal a person's identity one needs the blood of their victim as well as an object belonging to those that they wish to fool. The enchantment must be done by a powerful sorcerer," I read out loud so that Angel Conrad and the alpha can hear. The rest of the text include strange words that should be uttered during the casting of the spell. How did they get items belonging to my mates to cast the spell? "The Shaman already had my blood, but not anything belonging to you," I tell Conrad. "Maybe we should search the place some more. You never know," Luther says. He summons five more loyal servants to help us. Good thing everyone is eager to please an angel king .The servants excitedly search the house for several hours, bringing anything suspicious to King Conrad. "I found these in Aria's closet, your majesty," one of the servants proudly reports while holding out three scarfs made of sea si
Keira's PovAngel Conrad's hand and pen hovers over the tiny parchment."What do you think I should write?" he asks, looking furious that he has to do this. Of course penning a love letter to our enemy is not just hard but disgusting as well. But it seems to me like it's the only way we can get her to mix her blood with Luther's. Once the fake mate bond between her and my other husbands is broken then we won't have to fight them to get to her or her father."We must make her believe that your thoughts and feelings are genuine. You must confess a good reason why you're choosing to betray me. Tell her that I am a weak human that never deserved to be the queen of your great kingdom," I suggest."That's not true. You're the smartest and strongest woman our kingdom has ever seen. Not even our mother was as fierce as you're," my husband differs. "The point is to make her believe without doubt that you hate me. The truth doesn't matter," I answer. "Still it disgusts me to write such lies
Keira's Pov"Both your father and your friends are fine. They just had a meal and are now resting. We let them out of the cells in the basement after realising that it wasn't you that ordered their ," Fenris the honestly. "Arina ordered their imprisonment?" I ask in a furious tone. You yup"They attacked her and she demanded that they be locked up," he answers. "We did notice that the prideful decision was unlike you. We thought that you would ask for their release after calming down. But you went for our bodies instead."I would snap that witch's neck if she had not escaped. "If my actions are unlike my character again, lock me up intil you're sure it's me," I order. "Last time we were all together you were afraid of our touch, now you're not. Should we lock you up until we are sure it's you, your majesty?" Conrad asks teasingly while invading my space once more."I should have both of you punished for even imagining you can do that," I respond calmlyBoth him and Fenris chuckle,
Keira PovAlluring scents fill my nostrils as my mind reawakens. It's been days since the last time I inhaled those scents. Back when our mate bond existed. So this must be a dream. I briefly struggle to get my eyes open. A pair of soft lips kisses mine just as my eyes finally blink open. "Told you she just needed our close touch," Garren says after pulling back. "She has woken," he anounces and two more beautiful faces gather next to him, staring down at me with happy smiles.It's not a dream, our mate bond is back. Probably because of the shaman's death. We didn't get to celebrate our marriage, and after getting nearly killed I finally realised how fragile everything in life is. I was too focused on winning battles that I forgot to enjoy my relationship with my gorgeous mates.Arina's attack awakened the part of me that desired pleasant things again. Because I learned that anything can be taken away easily and all that will be left is regret. Because I didn't allow myself time to
Conrad's PovIf I had known this is what would happen I would not have allowed Keira to be part of this fight. She almost lost her life and will probably take days if not weeks to recover from the injuries. Not even our mate bond is present to help her heal faster."Where is her father?" I ask my brothers. It's obvious they do not want to talk about that. A thing that worries me because they were under Shaman's spell. "When that witch and her father arrived Keira's father and her friends tried attacking them. Of course we thought the woman was Keira so we defended her," Garren answers. "You didn't kill them, did you?" I ask. "No. The witch demanded that they be punished and locked up. We let the soldiers do the dirty work since we did not want to be directly involved. We thought that she would regret the decision later," Fenris answers. I wonder how bad the punishment was because there is a chance that our mate's father will never forgive us. I understand that my brothers were und
Angel Fenris's Pov I should have killed that witch before she had the chance to use the darkstone. Problem is I wanted to have fun killing her slowly and using different unbearable ways. I wanted her to die screaming apologies to Keira."Where is my Father and Ezra?" our mate asks with a concerned expression despite the pain she must be feeling. The truth would infuriate her. We made terrible mistakes while under that witch's spell. Telling her where her father and friends are when we have hurt her so much would make her hate us. I made her mind hurt excruciatingly whilst thinking that she is the witch. I cannot give her more bad news. Conrad stares at us curiously. Of course he doesn't understand why we cannot talk about our mate's father right now. "You're losing blood. Let me remove the blade out of your hand so we can take you to the doctor," I say to our mate, avoiding answering the question about her father and friends. Garren holds her tighter as I pull the sharp blade out o
Angel Garren's PovKeira would never ask us to kill our own brother, regardless of the fact that he is under the control of a wicked witch. Our mate was of pure heart. She would never demand the murder of someone that is not under control of his mind. I used to think that no other woman can have Keira's face, but our brother's witch looked and sounded exactly like her. We would have been fooled as well if Keira had not already found a way to restore our mate bond. But I am shocked that she is now demanding for Conrad's death like she never loved him.One of the pretentious guards that Conrad came in with takes off her helmet and just like the first time I am baffled by how much the witch resembles our mate."Kill me instead! I am the witch that is controlling his mind," she says. She is that selfless? Or is it a trick to make us believe that she is the true Keira?"You stupid bitch! You will die today!" our mate screams like she has suddenly lost her mind.She picks up the sword tha
Keira's Pov"I must ask that you do not tell your brothers that I am not Keira. Unlike you they seem to care for that pathetic human and won't like me if they realise that I am not her," Arina tells Conrad as we follow her and her father inside the palace. "Of course I won't tell them if you don't want me to," Conrad assures. "The guards behind used to be close friends of mine. Allow them to come with us," he requests and Arina simply nods. Guess she is so eager to have him as well that she is not allowing her mind to have suspicion. My other two husbands rise from the soft couches of the palace parlour as soon as we walk in through the door. They both step forward to hug Conrad."Welcome back, brother. Where did you get lost to?" Garren asks in a voice filled with concern. Arina makes her way to Fenris and wraps her hands around his waist. He embraces her back, rubbing her back gently and kissing her on the lips. She smiles in comfort."You first tell me what happened the day I l
Keira's Pov"Your plan worked, your majesty. Arina and her father believed that King Conrad turned against you and wishes to have a mate bond with her," Allen gladly informs. We smile in relief as we are now halfway into getting rid of the vixen and her foolish father. As long as the mate bond between her and my other two husbands is broken getting them to recognise who the real Keira is won't be as hard as the first time. According to the text I read about the identity spell, Arina must carry my blood everywhere she goes or my mates will discover that she is not me. Her father was left with only a few drops after suspending my mate bond with the angel kings before I returned to Lunacrest. Arina will only have a little of that blood as her father must have used some to lift my mate bond with my husbands again. Finding the tiny amount of the blood she is carrying will be hard but not impossible. "Did she mix the blood?" Conrad asks. "She asked that you return to the palace, your ma
