Jessi's P.O.V.
Wyatt groans as soon as we get the mindlink from Dr. Neelson. I can't help laughing as we leave the bedroom to go to his office. My little puppy wasn't done playing yet. "I swear the entire palace must have us under surveillance. Why do they constantly have to interrupt us?" Wyatt complains as we go downstairs. "Oh, I don't know, maybe because an evil witch is trying to kill us all," I say, looking at him with a smirk. He pulls me into his arms before we reach Dr. Neelson's office and kisses me. "That may be true, but that doesn't stop the fact that I need my mate. How am I supposed to fight against the witch if I can't release my stress in the best way possible? It's not fair that we've had one problem after another since we found each other. Most mates get at least a day or two together when they first meet. We haven't had more than a few hours here and there." I giggle as hCressida's P.O.V. I knew I couldn't trust that little piece of shit. When I stopped ripping Gabe apart for not getting the princess back, I realized Trevor was gone. I sent out a spell to find him and imagine my surprise when I saw him at the palace. I should kill him, but I can't yet. I still need him, and even if he's conspiring with the enemy, his debt to me has not been paid. He owes me for allowing him to be born. I send a lightning bolt down to scare him, but they're gone before it even hits the ground. How did they do that? Did Trevor get some of my power and not tell anyone? I'll make him pay for keeping things from me. I send my cloud away and look at Gabe. "Your no-good son is at the palace. Would you like to explain to me what he's doing there?" I ask him. He's still mad I sprayed them, but I did place a spell to eliminate the smell when I couldn't stand hearing their whining anymore. He should be tha
Jessi's P.O.V.I'm staring at Dr. Neelson with an arrow in his chest and the note hanging on the end, but I still can't believe what I'm seeing. Why was he killed? More importantly, who the fuck is after us now? I turn when I hear footsteps, and I see Ryder and Zoe. I guess Wyatt mindlinked them."What happened?" Ryder asks, looking at Dr. Neelson."I called my dad and discovered that the rogue who looks like Zayden and has Zayden's DNA is not actually Zayden. We came to Dr. Neelson to ask how that was possible and found him like this," I still can't wrap my head around this. We don't need another crazed psychopath. One trying to kill us is more than enough; thank you!I walk over and remove the note from the arrow. I notice one of the windows is open, and I peer outside. The office is located in the back of the palace, looking over part of the wooded area. I can see how easy it would be for someone to shoot him through the window with his office bein
Trevor's P.O.V.I see the two witches walk into the palace, and my wolf, Karlo, starts going wild with excitement. One of them is my mate. I catch her scent, and everything else disappears. I run over to them and look into her blue eyes with a smile."Mate." I bury my nose in her neck and breathe in her intoxicating scent. I don't even know her name because I was so focused on her scent that I didn't hear what the other witch had said. When I pull away, I see her eyes are wide as she stares at me in shock. "Mate? What's your name?" She asks me softly."Trevor. What's yours?" I question the angel in front of me. "Rmina. Are you a lycan?" She asks me, looking me up and down. Why do I feel like she can see under my clothes and won't be happy with what she sees?"Yes," I answer, worried that will be a problem for her. Rmina tilts her head to the side and smiles. Can someone's heart stop just from one beautiful smile? I feel like m
Cressida's P.O.V. That little bastard Trevor is going to pay. Not only did he go to the palace with no intention of helping get the princess. He's now found his mate, who happens to be a witch. That wouldn't be a bad thing, but she's a good witch. When I felt her removing the spell I had inside him, I immediately knew where she'd come from. Not many witches can overpower dark magic, but those from the Moonrise Coven can. Gabe isn't back yet with my virgins, so I'm just walking around this shack still as a skunk. I should have never trusted either of them. They are going to ruin everything for me because of their incompetence. Now that the palace has that witch there, I'm sure she's placing a protection spell around them. It won't stop me from attacking, but it will change the method I use. We have an army of rogues ready to attack when I tell them to, but they're useless if they're going to get themselves killed.
Jessi's P.O.V. I stare in shock at the snakes on our bed. They don't appear to be poisonous. I think the person was going for shock value. I throw on some clothes and then grab an extra pillowcase to put the snakes into while Wyatt watches me. "How do you know they won't bite you?" He asks, standing back. I see the fear in his eyes and want to laugh. The big warrior is not a fan of snakes. That's okay; I'm afraid of spiders. They're creepy crawly and get into places they shouldn't. Why do I feel like they're crawling all over me? "They're not poisonous. Whoever put them here wanted to scare us. Dr. Neelson was most likely shot through the window, but someone had to come to our room to do this. Who would be so brazen with the tightened security we have?" I ask, picking up the last snake and putting it with the others just as four security guards walk in. I'm assuming Wyatt mindlinked them. I hand one of them the
Jessi's P.O.V. "Why are you screaming?" Wyatt asks, looking at me and the area behind the wall. "There was a huge spider running across the floor," I say, shaking to get the feeling of spiders crawling all over me to go away. I see Wyatt smirk, and I glare at him. "You're scared of spiders?" He asks as though it's the best thing he's heard in a long time. "You have no room to talk. Or would you like me to bring those snakes back inside?" I ask and see Wyatt's face pale. Didn't think I noticed, did ya? Now I know what to do when he gets on my nerves or pisses me off. I need to find somewhere to store snakes. "Fine." Wyatt turns on the flashlight on his phone, and we peer into the dark opening. It's small, like the size of a phone booth, but there's another door that looks old and heavy across from us. "Should we open it?" I ask, looking at Wyatt nervously.
Jock's P.O.V. When I came to the clearing, I knew my mate was here, but I resisted running to her because I didn't know if she was good or evil. Even now, I'm unsure as I stare at the beautiful woman before me. She looks like an angel, but looks can be deceiving. Jessi and Wyatt look at me in shock. "What's your name, and what are you?" I ask as she giggles. It sounds like little bells ringing as she twirls around. I see Jessi smiling beside me. "My name is Davina, and I'm a fairy. Not like the ones you read about in storybooks, although my magic is just as powerful." A fairy? I can't believe I'm mated to a fairy. I honestly have never met one and wondered if they even existed. "I'm Jock, and I'm a lycan," I reply as she sways back and forth, looking up at me. Her eyes are so green they almost don't look real. "I know who you are, my lycan warrior. I've seen you in th
Jessi's P.O.V. I look at Wyatt in disbelief. The king's chief advisor? Does no one do background checks around here? "We need to get to the palace. Are you two coming with us?" I ask Jock and Davina. They look at each other. "I can't go like this. Let me make myself small, and I'll hide in the pocket of my mate." Davina disappears, and I see the little light go into the pocket of Jock's jeans. I want to make a comment about where she's at, but I figure now is not the time. Besides, I think Jock is ready to hit me if I keep teasing him. Or at least he'll try to hit me. I take Wyatt's and Jock's hands and teleport us to Ryder and Zoe's office. It's empty. "Where are you guys?" I mindlink them. "We're putting Samira to bed," Zoe replies. I grab Jock and Wyatt's hands again and teleport to the princess's room. She jumps out of bed and runs to me when she sees us. "Tha
