Memories of my youth came to mind as my eyes filled with the scenery around me. I visibly shuddered and Azrael eyed me curiously."I've been here before," I growled bitterly and he grinned."You're lucky to have made it out alive then. This is Unseelie fae lands and the occupants who dwell here are very cruel and unkind," he said firmly. I nodded remembering being so frightened that I had wet myself. Azrael waved at both Noah and me to follow after him. Noah, still as his demon looked like he fitted right in with the gnarled trees and forbidden forest that we stepped through. Ravens with their beady black eyes watched us from above and called out into the gray sky as a warning that there were strangers afoot. "Allow me a word with the Enforcers before either of you come storming ahead," Azrael said firmly to us both. My heart was pounding erratically in anticipation of getting Lucian back. Once we reached the edge of the forest I could see the entrance to a cave and two huge guards s
Laid out like a snack for Lucian I was delighted when he pounced on top of me and worked his mouth down my form to settle between my thighs. As he lapped at my sex I closed my eyes as I howled out in my passion. When Lucian glanced up at me with my slick around his mouth I curled my finger at him to join our bodies. He entered me swiftly and I was in seventh heaven."I'm going to give you my mark for the last time, my love, and my life," Lucian said solemnly. My eyelids lowered from the immense pleasure humming through my entirety. When his fangs sank into my neck my eyes closed tightly as my orgasm gave me an out-of-body feeling. I marked him as my high came down and felt his release within me. It was complete bliss."Love you, princess," Lucian said softly and rolled to his side to bring me with him. I nestled against his chest, laying my cheek against him."You're pregnant again and this will be your last since mates are only allowed two offspring," Eva growled bluntly. I grinned s
Ashton opened the door and looked at me with concern."Do you truly know what he has and have a cure?" He asked bluntly. I nodded my head and showed him the bottle of blood."It's a brain infection that Selene was passing around to get her council members and wolves to do her grunt work. If Xavier drinks this he will be cured within twenty-four hours," I said solemnly and he opened the door wider for us both to enter.Glancing around the living room I didn't see Xavier."He's in the kitchen making breakfast for the toddler…they grow so quickly here," Ashton said softly. I handed him the wine bottle of blood and told him to have Xavier drink some."The sooner the better," Lucian grunted harshly and we both eyed him oddly."I'm livid that my child is growing quickly and should be being raised by me at a normal pace in our realm…Not with the dogs," he said staunchly and I crossed my arms."I'm one of those dogs, Lucian! Perhaps you should go wait outside," I mumbled sourly. His eyes narr
When Lucian and I entered the kitchen I saw Ashton holding Kasin. The little one was on his lap holding a sippy cup. The scene looked non threatening and actually adorable. Ashton looked up at us both with concern in his eyes as he gestured to Kasin."He was getting a fever and thought that some of the blood in the bottle you brought would help," Ashton said softly and I nodded."Did you ever get infected?" Lucian questioned curiously, pulling out a chair for me to sit on.Ashton grinned slightly and told us that he must be immune since he never grew ill."I recall Selene getting frustrated with Xavier over something concerning me. I'm not originally from this realm and was born in Canada in the human world. Our wolves' DNA changes being here and mine never has. Needless to say, I was aware of the infection that Selene had but was unaware of it until recently inflicting my mate. Violet, your grandmother was trying to inform Xavier but he refused to listen to her," he sighed. "I am tr
Sitting at the table watching Ashton enjoy his meal I went back to the refrigerator to search for blood. Finding none I groaned and glanced over at my adopted father."Let me guess, Xavier, fed from you," I growled bitterly and he looked up at me and nodded. He held out his wrist for me and told me to go ahead."Thanks," I mumbled softly and licked his skin before sinking my fangs. I felt uncomfortable suddenly from the way he was watching me. He looked away and continued eating so I relaxed."You will have to feed more due to you carrying a wee one. So just ask and I can give you my wrist," he said through a mouthful. Sealing my bite, Ashton watched me once again making me feel uneasy."Don't talk with your mouth full, geez you're like a child," I scolded and Ashton chuckled. I glanced out the back windows to see the sun starting to set and frowned. "I hope Lucian comes back with an update soon," I mumbled softly and Ashton frowned at me."I'm hoping that Xavier returns to himself. H
I woke up feeling nauseated and had to use the bathroom. I sat up and frowned at my fat stomach and grimaced as I touched it."What in the hell is that?" I questioned sourly and looked up to see my dad standing in the doorway with a handsome male. My heart started beating rapidly as my eyes raked openly at the man. My overwhelming urge to pee had me force my glowing eyes away. I slowly waddled my way toward the bathroom."You are not supposed to be up, Nia," Ashton said firmly. I rolled my eyes and huffed."Next time I will wet the bed then, father…I mean daddy,'' I growled roughly and shut the bathroom door hard. After relieving myself I felt much better and I stood without getting dizzy. When I opened the bathroom door the scent of heady rich earth consumed my senses and I inhaled the delightful scent. My nose directed my eyes back toward the blue-eyed sexy man. I grinned slightly at him seeing his eyes shine back at me."Nia, I need to speak with you since you appear to be feeling
Side-eyeing the vampire my stupid heart began thumping loudly in my ears. Frowning, I closed my eyes when Lucian asked if he may sit next to me."Go ahead, the space is not occupied," I mumbled sourly. He smiled and moved next to me. I watched him clasp his hands as he sat back. His scent encompassed me making it difficult to focus on anything I was thinking."Tell me about yourself, Nia. Our relationship was rather sudden and I failed to court you as a male should," Lucian said softly. I glanced over at him with a raised brow."A quick relationship doesn't seem probable due to me already having two of your children," I muttered briskly, causing him to chuckle."I am leery of bloodsuckers even being half of a vampire. I find them untrustworthy and scary," I added and Lucian shrugged."You are more vampire than werewolf, princess and when we return to your real father you will discover that," he said pointedly. I swallowed uncomfortably and exhaled deeply."Is my mother a pleasant woma
Moving toward Lucian's side I elbowed him lightly."Great job with those two. I could see the sparks flying off of them from across the room, so cunning of you" I said softly to him. Lucian nodded and crossed his arms."Now we just need to convince your father that they make an acceptable royal couple," Lucian grunted and I gave him an odd look."Micah is the next in line for the throne and will need an heir," he replied and I sucked in my upper lip as I nodded."Nikolai can select another to take over. He could even choose you and due to your assassin lineage would certainly cause a shit storm amongst the bloodsuckers," I teased then giggled when Lucian tickled my ribs at my jest. I tried swatting his hands from my sides but he captured them both and pulled me against himself. Looking into his eyes I smiled and closed my eyes when his lips pressed against mine in a tender kiss. My mind lit up brightly and I moved my lips over his mouth as my heartbeat started racing. When he pulled b
