“Where is Catherine?” Silas wondered, walking into the Great Hall where Zion was discussing business with another Wolf-Alpha, though one of lesser status. “I could not locate her Lias within the property.”
His eyes darkened as he looked up at the Fae, his jaw tightening immediately. Then he cast out his Lias, searching the grounds, town, and nearby forests for her. With a loud snarl, Zion stood, his chair hitting the floor behind him. If she left, if she headed south to face the Dragons, she could be in danger. The door opened, revealing the form of Catherine standing next to Gunther.
“The Dragons have left and refuse any further attacks.” Gunther stated, hand stroking the back of his neck. “I told her to check with you two first, but I made a promise and—”
Before he could finish speaking, Zion pinned him by the neck to the wall nearby, his anger making his hazel eyes almost glow. B
Silas was growing annoyed quickly. This was why he wanted to avoid cities and packs for as long as possible. There were so many other things he needed to do besides putting weaker males in their place. He always hated this aspect of their society and wished it could change, but he refused to allow a weak male to touch Catherine. Unlike his wife, Silas doubted the strength he saw in the Omega Pup, too. But there was something different to the young Elvenia’s Lias. Something to her energy that seemed to make her desirable to some of the younger males. “Why am I worrying over that pup?” Silas wondered, walking into a nearby shop to purchase something he had his eyes on for a while. “Ah, yes.” “No.” “I do not care that your mother is the Tatiana, or that she ordered Omegas to be treated with respect. Your kind are not allowed in here.” A male yelled, causing Silas to glance over at the scene. “Get out.” “I said no.” Elvenia countered, her back straighteni
It was the perfect life. Cathy walked through the halls of her business with a smile and a cheerful spring in her step. Since she woke up from her sleep with few memories, she knew this was where she belonged. Running ‘Cathy’s Corner’ interior design. And her love-life was going great too. Cathy sighed, glancing at herself in the nearby window. Black hair, brown eyes, and pouty lips met her gaze, but it was the happy step that drew her interest. Her legs, in fact.“Miss Jensen, your date is here.” A receptionist said, pointing out to Germany. “I hope you enjoy your evening!”Cathy stepped out into the late afternoon sun, pulling her jacket a little closer for warmth. It was a blind date her friend set her up on, yet she still felt a little wary. Who would be comfortable going on a blind date in this day and age? She wondered before shaking the thought from her head. With curious eyes, she looked around the parking lot outside t
~~~~~Despite having a rough time leaving the pack town, once the pups saw the rolling hills, bright blue skies, and scenery, they were no longer against the trip. But now they were running everywhere in their wolfish forms, bounding between the trees, jumping high in the air, and giggling wildly. Even Elvenia joined in the fun, her white fur sparkling bright in the noon sun. She was beautiful, unbelievably so, as she landed in front of the carriage, making the driver stop.“What’s wrong?” Catherine wondered, watching as Zion appeared in the window. “Are we under attack?”“The pups picked up a strange scent. Nathan and Isaac are checking it out now with Silas and Gunther.” Zion confirmed before staring deep into her eyes. “Stay put.”It was not an order she could follow. Catherine could hear the screech of a dragon nearby, and something told her all was not right. Without waiting, she ste
DragoShifs, Dark Fae, and Werewolves. Gnomes, Satyrs, and Forest Fae all gathered outside the Faerie Border, hopeful to glimpse the Tatiana before she presumably entered her homelands to never return. Catherine had to remain firm in her stance. Acceptance would be necessary if she wanted to save this world. It was the only thing she knew to start with. Where had she learned that motto? She wondered for a second before shaking the thought from her head. As she came to stand before all those onlookers, everyone seemed to hold their breath."I return to my homelands for now only. If the Counsel of Queens do not agree to my demands, negotiation will have to begin. I refuse to stand aside as higher classes reject those in lower classes." Catherine stated, using her Lias to access, making her voice louder for everyone. "You all matter, are all worthy of love. Times have changed."The people looked stunned at her statements, their eyes and jaws open in unconcealed shock. It w
The thought of not taking time away from her tasks to spend time with her husbands made her heart hurt, so she planned and planned to make tonight happen. When Gunther and Zion returned from their trip to find the room empty, she could feel their concern thrum to life almost as though she were in the same room. A small smile lifted the corners of her lips, and she stepped out of their ensuite bathing room to meet them in a bathrobe. She fully intended to spend a quiet time together with them tonight. "Cathy?" His deep voice made her thighs clench in anticipation, and she chewed on her lip as she stepped forward, her arms open. "Are you not too busy for...?" "I will never be too busy for my husbands." Catherine stated, taking in a deep breath, her cheeks flooding with heat. "I love you. If I do not make time for you three, I do not deserve to be your wife." His jaw clenched, but he took one step forward, his hand outstretched in shock. Perhaps he did not expec
Catherine is immortal. She would live forever with Silas by her side. But Gunther and Zion had a few hundred years with her before they faded away. Their goal was to use caution, so they would not put Gunther and Zion at risk. They were aware Catherine would chase after Silas and they would go with her, meaning their lives would be in danger. Especially in Faerie, because they did not know what waited on the other side of the gate. If they used silver, or Majyk, both her first and third husbands could be in trouble because of their natural disadvantage.Faerie were the most Majykally inclined of all the creatures on Erlias, with the strongest being the Tatiana and her Harlequin. But they did not know what affects Faerie would have on outsiders, since no one recalled much of the previous ruler. Catherine lifted her head in her hand, her elbow propping up on Zion's chest. Silas was already awake, his frustrated expression focused on another parchment in his hand. As if he could
Catherine could be clueless about Fae. Unlike the former Tatiana, she did not grow up in Faerie, so she did not know their homeland well. Even Silas, who grew up there, was only ever within the forests. With his odd parentage, he was an outcast, and one hated. And he did not want Catherine to know just how mistreated his life was before her. Touching her light felt almost wrong considering the sins of his past, yet she only looked at him with love and acceptance. It was unfamiliar and made him colder than necessary. He looked at her where she slept atop the DragoShif. Gunther was on his back, arms locked around her tiny waist, and she snoozed on her side, her hands tucked under her head. The Tatiana was a thing of beauty, no matter how small she was, and it made him even more protective of her. Though why she wanted to sleep on top of the Dragon made little sense to him. He closed his eyes in thought, his mind going back to her concern over his relationships with the other t
She was busy. Gunther understood it and was told not to be selfish, yet here she was, staring expectantly at him. The Council of the Queens agreed to meet with her if she passes through the gate. But Catherine refused, stating the Council would need to come to her. She was headstrong and refused to bow to them, which made her shine brighter in his eyes. Since she came into her Majyk, she seemed like a different woman and it drove him wild. But he did not expect her to notice. He felt distant from her. Sure, he saw her every day, but her focus was on Silas and Zion, something that annoyed him greatly. Though he tried to not complain. Catherine had a lot of responsibilities when she was this close to the border of Faerie. That was what he tried to convince himself of, anyway. The more they laid under the moons of Erlias, her resting on his shifted form, these thoughts plagued him. "Do not let me ignore you, Gunther. If you want attention, let me know." She whispered, h
