Chapter 21 - Surprise

Everyone in the palace started searching for Trisha and Polly. Bianca felt sick that someone had gotten into the palace and taken the girls under their watch. Who would have done it, and why? She, Gunnar, Alani, and Omar went into every room on the second floor, hoping whoever had them hadn't had time to go far. "We have the pups. Come to our bedroom." Selena mindlinked everyone. When the two couples reached the King and Queen's room, they burst out laughing. King Zaiden was covered head to toe in glitter while Trisha and Polly looked at him, horrified. "We're sorry, King Zaiden. We thought you were the bad guy," Polly explained. "Girls, where were you? We thought someone had kidnapped you." Bianca said as she and Gunnar hugged them. "We were practicing pretending to sleep when you and Daddy checked on us. When we looked out of our room, we heard you talking about something being wrong. We're the Queen's guards

Chapter 22 - Calling for Help

Gunnar held Bianca in his arms as the tears ran down his face. He didn't understand what happened. Who killed her? While he sobbed, the door burst open. Zaiden, Selena, and an older wolf named Ella ran into the room. Omar, carrying Alani, came in next. "Right before Alani passed out, she said she and Bianca had been poisoned," Omar said anxiously, kneeling next to Gunnar. "They're not dead, but they're barely breathing. Does anyone know what they were poisoned with?" Ella asked as she put her hands on Alani and Bianca. She was the palace healer and centuries old. "No," Everyone answered her. Ella rubbed her hands over Bianca and Alani's foreheads and closed her eyes. She suddenly opened them and looked at Selena. "This poison came from the gods. Queen Selena, their only hope is for you to save them. Please come here." Ella said. Selena knelt between Alani and Bianca. "What do I need to do?" She asked, looking

Chapter 23 - Hermes

Andrew went to the dining hall the next morning to tell everyone about Nyx and Hermes. When he arrived, the others were already there. Polly and Trisha were extra careful about who approached Selena, even eyeing him suspiciously. "Good morning. I have some reinforcements coming to help us. I want to warn you because they're probably not exactly what you would expect as far as help," Andrew explained. "Okay, who are they?" Gunnar asked. He was nervous about anyone new after what happened to Bianca and Alani. "Nyx is the goddess of night. She's from the underworld. Hermes is the herald of the gods and travels between all realms. They're able to come to Earth, unlike those from the realm Selena and I come from. We need the power of the gods to fight the two goddesses. Having Nyx and Hermes here will give us that power, in addition to the power Selena and Zaiden now have." Andrew explained while everyone looked at him in shock

Chapter 24 - Daphne

Hermes looked in disbelief at the woman with long reddish blonde hair who had just said he was her mate. Who was she, and where did she come from? Nyx looked from Hermes to the woman with envy. She wanted to be with someone, too. "Daphne? What's going on?" Alani asked, looking at the woman in question. She had also been rescued from the Last Moon pack and was training to be a warrior. They brought her to the palace because she was smart and strong, much like Alani. "I'm sorry for leaving my post. I was at the front gate when I picked up his scent. I couldn't stop myself; I had to find out where it was coming from. He's my mate." Daphne replied, looking at the gorgeous man in front of her. She had been a rogue when someone from the Last Moon pack kidnapped her and forced her into the underground cave. She had never cared about finding her mate, but looking at Hermes, she was thinking maybe she should have been looking all along. He wal

Chapter 25 - Nyx's Plan

Nyx watched Daphne and Hermes with envy as they sat outside. Was she going to be the only one without a mate? She wouldn't have a problem with a shifter running to her and claiming she was his. In fact, it was something she had fantasized about a lot. "Are you Nyx? Are you from the underworld?" Polly asked her. Nyx looked at the two little pups and smiled. She wondered if she would ever have children. "Yes, I am. You're standing protectively in front of the Queen. You must be her guards," she said, studying them. Trisha and Polly's mouths fell open. "You can tell we're guards?" Trisha asked in disbelief. "Oh, definitely. Who else would be so protective of the Queen? It's a pleasure to meet you. What are your names?" She held her hand out to them, and both pups stood a little taller. Bianca and Gunnar beamed at Nyx for making their girls so happy. Maybe those from the underworld weren't so bad after all. "I'm Polly, and this is my Sister Trisha." Polly introduced everyo

Chapter 26 - More Help

Eros sat at his desk feeling lost. He didn't like knowing Selena was somewhere he couldn't protect her, and Psyche's evil sisters were trying to kill her. He had to do something to help her. He hoped to protect Selena, end the sisters, and get Psyche back. What could he do without going to Selena's realm himself? Andrew was there, but his power was limited. He needed someone with fighting abilities. That's when he had an idea. "Helios, can you come and see me please?" He mindlinked the god of the sun. He was among the few who could travel between their realm and Earth. "On my way," Eros smiled as he sat back in his chair. He knew Helios would jump at the chance to help. He was often underrated because he was the god of the sun, and people assumed that meant he didn't have much to do. Helios appeared in his office, smiling. The power of magic meant the gods and goddesses could teleport just about anywhere they wanted. As you would expect,

Chapter 27 - Whose Room?

Nyx flew out of the room and shut the door. Selena, Polly, and Trisha looked at her in concern. She had seen some terrible things, but the sight of a torso with missing limbs and head shook her. "What's wrong? What did you see?" Selena asked her. Nyx looked at the pups not sure she should tell them what was in the room. "We're not babies, we're guards," Polly said, crossing her arms. "I don't want to give you nightmares," Nyx said, looking at Selena. She wasn't used to being around pups, so she didn't know what was appropriate or not. "We've seen bad things and heard really bad things. It won't give us nightmares," Trisha replied before Selena could say anything. Nyx hoped Bianca and Gunnar wouldn't be mad at her. "Okay, but if your parents come after me you better guard me." She told them. Both smiled and nodded. "We will," Polly answered. "The room is dark, and there's evil energy. On the bed is a body with no arms, legs, or head. Who's room is that?" Nyx glanced at t

Chapter 28 - Eris

Lachlan walked up to the palace gates with uncertainty. Would they even want him there? It was early morning, and the sun was just beginning to rise. Lachlan was a rogue wolf who was once a great warrior. He came from a pack of warriors. While he was away helping another pack his pack was attacked. When he returned home everyone had been killed. Lachlan was determined to find out who was responsible, but so far he hadn't found any trace. When he heard that the palace was going to be attacked he thought maybe it had something to do with what happened to his pack. Even if it wasn't related he hoped if he helped them then they would help him get answers. "Can I help you?" Sean, one of the Shadow Howler warriors asked as he looked at the large man. "My name is Lachlan. I'm a warrior from the Sentinel Warriors pack. I came here to see if I could offer the palace some assistance." Lachlan replied. Sean was a warrior, but next to Lachlan, he felt small. He saw the tattoo of bird wings

Chapter 29 - The Poison

"What do you mean he's your mate? You're not a damn shifter," Helios yelled at Nyx while he glared at Lachlan. "I don't have to be a shifter to have a mate. I'm his mate and I'm accepting him. Now get the fuck out of our room before I make you regret it. I was never your woman. We were only together a few times and you were with many others during that time. You have no right to come here thinking you own me." Nyx was speaking low as her fury grew. One thing she couldn't stand was a man treating a woman like an object. She glanced at Lachlan, and he was leaning against the wall beaming at her. She would show him later how much she appreciated him letting her fight her own battles. She didn't want a man that treated her like a fragile piece of glass. "You know I have needs, and you weren't always around. I can control myself now, and I'll be faithful to only you." Helios knew he wouldn't be able to give up other women even as he said the words. He just didn't want Nyx to be w

Chapter 30 - Nyx's Story

"Seize him," Polly said as she and Trisha covered Helios in glitter. Everyone stared in shock. Helios was too stunned to move. "Nyx said she doesn't have any kids, so you're lying. You have to be a bad guy," Trisha said as she and Polly stood protectively in front of Selena. The adults tried to hide their laughter as the god of the sun tried to figure out what to do. "Wow, what did he do? Let me guess, he flirted with the queen," Nyx said, as she and Lachlan joined them after their fun in the shower. "He said that Achlys is your daughter and we know you don't have kids so he's lying," Polly explained as she and Trisha held their hands up again, ready to cover Helios in more glitter. Nyx looked from the pups to Helios. "Why on Earth would you bring up that woman?" She asked him. "She's the one who poisoned Bianca and Alani. Helios told them that she's your daughter." Andrew explained. Nyx chuckled lightly. "It's true, she's technically my daughter." Everyone gasped. Lachlan
