Chapter 23
Alyssa
I'm busy cutting tomatoes when I swiftly notice my left fingers are translucent, entirely invisible to the world. A silent gasp gets stuck in my throat, and when Darla enters the kitchen, I immediately hide my hand inside my pocket with a smile plastered to my face.
"It smells delicious, Alyssa!" Darla inhales the air and beams at me with her entire face, conveying excitement. "I'm so grateful that you're cooking dinner for us this evening!"
Her lively gratefulness is enough to make me think of something else other than my disappearing hand. Whatever I can deal with it later, right now, I need to focus on this dinner.
"It's my pleasure! I'm not good at cooking yet, but ever since you taught me this recipe, I've wanted to let everyone taste and see how far I've come. I used to be a spoiled princess, but now I know how to make the best pasta in town!"
Darla looks teary-eyed and hugs me briefly, forcing me to turn away from the stove to return

Alyssa My head is a mess. The others are eating dinner while I'm sitting on the windowsill with the white curtains blowing into the hotel. Every angle of my mind is spinning around, and I stare up at the stars, hoping they will somehow guide me through my confusion. I'm disappearing, well, my hand is, and my head mainly consists of images of Azrael—I'm pretty confident that means I'm in love with him. There is no other explanation, and yet my heart explodes every time I remember that earthshattering kiss with Sleepy. But that can't mean that I'm in love with Sleepy! On the contrary, I consider the fairy my best friend. He is a funny guy who looks at me like I'm a hidden gem; there are always stars in his eyes, and he is always quick to defend me, but I'm not in love! Looking out through the window, I marvel at the glowing lights in the garden. Pixies. My eyes stay transfixed on their dancing bodies in the dark, they remind me of Sleepy, and my heart s

Sleepy Mastering the elements is more challenging than I thought. Even Leafa thinks I'm reckless for trying to learn how to control all four. A fairy of royal blood usually settles for one. Neither of my parents controlled a specific element, though. My mother knew how to command the weather and summon storms and rain. She didn't fall into any specific element category, and my father knew how to control the seasons—I'm guessing that's why Maze thought I could do it too. She was wrong, though. I can't control the seasons. But once I'm done training, I'm hoping I will be far more potent than that. So far, I've nailed down the water element to perfection, and fire came easy once I fell in love with Alyssa. The feelings I have for that girl awoke flames in my chest, and ever since I accepted that I'm in love with her, I've been able to call the element of fire to my aid. I haven't started with earth yet. I'm currently trying to learn how t

MazeOnce I'm confident that I'm alone, I push open the windows in my room. I'm on the highest floor, away from Azrael and everyone else. The stars shine like bright jewels in the sky, but my eyes focus on the black smoke impatiently waiting for me to speak."I invite you inside!" I speak audibly enough for the vampire to hear, and then the smoke rushes inside the building.A ball of smoke hurries past me, landing on the red carpet in the middle of the room. Books fly out through their cases, and the candles in the room blow out in an instant. The chandelier is swaying from side to side, and unpleasant chills snake down my spine when the ball of shadows materialize into a gruesome man.Bones crack and splinter, making me grimace until he is standing there, Fabian himself."Long time no see," Fabian smiles wickedly and reaches out a gnarly hand. His fingers are thin and long. I don't want him to touch me, yet I stretch my arm to shake his hand.

Alyssa I wrap my arms around my chest as the cold breeze blows in through the window. I'm broken. Azrael tried to kiss me earlier. The passion and the flames humming during our fight must have ignited something within him. The man bent down to claim me, but I won't accept the love of a man who came to tell me he would choose someone else. "He is such a jerk!" I promised myself that I wouldn't cry over Azrael. I've shed too many tears over that man already, but I cant fight that lump rising in my throat. And with devastating certainty, I realize I can't hold back the flood. Tears drip down on my dress, and I bite my lower lip so hard that I can taste metal. I hate how it feels like I'm constantly drowning. "You cry an awful lot these days," I swing around so fast I almost fall down from the windowsill. A gasp escapes my lips, but I manage to regain control, only to have my legs halt and freeze in midair like my thoughts. Sleepy!

Alyssa"Why are we going to the lake again? It's super dark," My voice is bitter.Hopefully, we will make it back to the hotel before the sun rises and burns me to a crisp. My bed is a way safer place to be than Sleepy's hands. It's hard to stomach the fact that we are flying above the clouds and that him clumsily dropping me would kill me.Not that I think he would. Sleepy is holding me tightly, and his hands are big enough to make me blush. While I'm trying not to, I can't help but wonder what it would feel like to be my actual size and have him palm my breasts down to my thighs.I blush. It kills me to admit, but the man does have sexy hands; they are sunkissed with veins that reach like branches to his wrist to then disappear under his tunic."The lake is my favorite spot," Sleepy bends forward and angles himself to look down at me. I'm sitting in his cupped palms, and he gives me a grin while hanging upside down. I feel heat curl inside my bel

Alyssa At first, I'm just standing there entirely spellbound while Sleepy pulls off his clothes to reveal his muscled back. He is sculpted to perfection with a juicy arse that must have escaped from the art gallery. Jesus Christ. How am I supposed to ever look away? I take him in for many moments while clenching my legs together. And when he turns around to see what is taking me so long, my cheeks turn molten. "Are you coming, or what?" Sleepy is challenging me by offering me his trademark grin. With that body, he doesn't need to ask me twice. I begin taking off my dress to join him but stop when I find his prying eyes looking me up and down. There is hunger in his gaze, but he tries to hide it behind his charming smile. Am I that desirable? I've never felt beautiful, but Sleepy is making me feel gorgeous. Hmm, maybe I should join in on the fun? With new assertiveness, I playfully throw my red hair over my shoulder and wink saucily at

AzraelI punch the wall in frustration and watch the debris fall to the floor like sprinkles. I should be in bed by now, but something tells me my confusion won't let me sleep."Why did I try to kiss her?" I ask myself angrily, still not understanding why I can't stop thinking about Alyssa.Deep inside, I know the answer—Alyssa is like a drug. One inhale of her fiery, untamed hair was all I needed for her to become imprinted into my memory. I shouldn't want Alyssa; settling for my mate was what I decided on, but I want them both because I'm a greedy bastard.Fuck me. I need some sleep to set my thoughts and emotions right; I'm a pure mess right now.Slowly, I walk down the corridor with a hundred racing thought, stopping when I spot Maze standing outside of Sleepy's door with something sharp sticking out from her lengthy, flowing sleeve. She is dressed like the night in a black tunic, probably something the witches gave her, but something see

Sleepy For the first time in what feels like forever, I'm happy. Alyssa is such a bliss to watch and talk with. Is she even real? I glance down at our conjoined hands, feel a rush of heat surging through me, and hide my smile by looking away when Alyssa glances up at me. This is heaven. I don't want to return to Azrael's hotel yet, even if the sun is about to rise. Alyssa takes a deep breath. "So you can control the elements?" I gaze down at Alyssa, see the pink hue splayed over her cheeks, and have to fight like hell to not dive at those swollen lips again. There are bite marks left all over her delicate neck, a reminder for others to keep away from what is mine. "Yes, but I'm not very good at controlling air and earth yet," I tell her as we stroll across a meadow. Our feet are naked, but the ground is soft, and right now, it feels like I'm walking on clouds. "That's amazing..." Alyssa stares down at the ground with a
