JULIAN Even though I saw her enter and approach me, I snapped my head to the side and hissed at her as I felt her hand on my arm. I then snap my head in my mother's direction as she takes a step toward the bed and scolds, “Julian. Manners.” I feel my eyes burn as Conner takes a little more control. However, this doesn’t faze my mother as Evelyn steps forward and hisses. “Conner…” Conner backs off a little at our mother's command. Teresa then whispers, “I’m not going to hurt her, Conner, but I do need to check her over. Can you pick her up and lay her on the bed?” Conner backs off a little more at her soft healer's tone. Not really thinking, I get to my feet with Skylar in my arms and walk over to the bed. I lie her down, and as Teresa approaches, I hiss at her again. Teresa stops and looks over her shoulder. I lift my eyes up over her head and once again see my mother, only this time her eyes are shining bright red as she says, “JULIAN…” I lower my head and move away from the

SEBASTIAN I smirk a little, as even though she is a healer; I watch a blush slowly climb up her neck and onto her cheeks at what she said as she continues. “You will probably also need to get her to swallow some and then I believe if you intercourse with her again, she will respond and may even wake.” Conner nods to Teresa and I get to my feet, knowing that there is nothing more that we can do here. Julian hisses at me as I take a small step closer toward the bed, I hold up my hands showing him the tome and then place it on the bedside table saying, “If you get a chance, read it.” I then turn around and wrap my arm around Teresa before smirking a little and making her let out a surprised scream as I quickly pick her up and walk out of Julian’s bedroom, through his sitting room and out of his chambers. With the amount of pheromones Skylar was giving off, I didn’t make it to our chamber as Teresa trails soft kisses up and down my neck and chest. I hiss as she then nips at her mark

SKYLAR I wipe down the mirror and then look at my reflection. I take a sharp breath in as the sunken look around my eyes is gone and there is more colour in my cheeks. Again, Iris seems to giggle at me in my head. I look into the mirror, staring at my reflection and say, “What are you giggling about?” I watch as the eyes, my eyes, change to the ones I saw in my dream and she says, “You have it bad…” “What? I don’t know what you are talking about…” “Sure you don’t…” She then seems to disappear, my eyes returning to their normal colour. I lean on the side of the sink and say, “Wait, Iris?” My eyes don’t change this time as she answers, “Yes.” “Can you change more than just my eyes?” “I’m not sure.” “Did you want to try?” I then feel that strangeness as she seems to push forward, pushing me back just a little. My teeth then tingle a little along with my ears and I watch with amazement as the same two little fangs press into my bottom lip and then my ears lengthen just a lit

>CONNER< I smirk when he growls, and I know that he has accepted my challenge. However, I have to keep a strict hold on myself as he then moves Skylar out from his body, turns her to face him, and then slaps her hard, knocking her to the floor. I watch as she places her hand on her cheek and her eyes flicker, but she stays on the floor. The people around us move back, forming a circle around us and Skylar. I feel as Nathaniel, Uncle Dominic and King Noah all step forward behind me, I turn from facing the werewolf in front of me to face them. Now that the three of them are standing together, I don’t miss that there has been a shift in power between the three Royals, as Nathaniel's aura is now much stronger. He frowns and says, “Conner? What’s?” I don’t miss the feel of one of his gifts as it stretches out from him; I watch as his eyes go wide and they flick from me to where Skylar is still half lying, half sittin

SKYLAR I am surprised when Iris lets out a small sigh and every man in the cafe stops what they are doing and looks over at me. Iris then makes us get to our feet, seeming to walk a little closer to the men as we pass them. I am then surprised when she places her hand on a man’s shoulder and smiles at him. He seems in a bit of a daze as he then gets to his feet and follows me. Iris leads him into the restroom and into the furthest stall from the door. The man closes the stall door behind him and then surprises me as he moves quickly, wrapping his arms around me and pressing his lips to mine in a very sloppy and disgusting kiss. I struggle in his arms, placing my hands on his chest and pushing him back away from me a little. He doesn’t fight me and steps back leaning his back against the stall door, Iris then makes me kneel and I realise what she is about to do, only I can’t fight her as she undoes his belt and pants I whimper in my own head, “
