[Rafe]
I was a little excited about possibly seeing someone I’d lost. Both of my parents and one of my brothers had died in the camps. I wanted to talk to one of them about what had happened since they passed and my plan to take Landry as my chosen mate.
Will and Winston were great to talk to, but I wanted to talk to someone who knew me well. My sisters and other brother loved Landry, but I didn’t want to say something to one of them and get their hopes up. If she said no, it would devastate all of us.
“The only things that could cause an issue now, are the wolves who are dedicated to Ford and Rafe’s injury.” Reggie smiled and nodded. “So we just have to have Ford let the wolves go and get Rafe healed.”
[Will]One day, I would get over being jealous of Rafe. First, he was selected to feed the succubae when we were living at the Vasili’s house, now he’d found his mate and it was the girl he was in love with. I’d met every single female who came on to our land and still hadn’t found my mate.Either way, I was happy for him. I couldn’t imagine what he must have been going through all this time with his other half being locked away from him. I knew he was powerful, but I’d never thought he was a ruler.“Let’s go check in with the wolves. Darrin just linked me. Apparently there is something going on with your sister, Douglass.” Rao said.“Why didn’t some
Ford led me into the living room. Rao and Serena were looking on with grins as Will and Rafe were sitting in the armchairs with their mates in their laps. Aria and Moran were getting ready for the announcement.They would use Aria’s ability to make sure no one interrupted the message they were putting out. All scouting and search parties had been recalled for the announcement as well. This was important for everyone.Rao wanted to make sure the wolves in the state knew they had a second option for a pack once everything was over. He said would dissolve the Helvegr Pack and create a new pack altogether, with himself as Alpha and another of Ford’s cousins, Douglass, as his Beta. Rao thought Bryant would be an excellent workmate for Serena. The Beta’s spouse was often the right hand to the Luna.
[Ford]When Thursday came, I had trouble keeping Conric under control. I could feel the wolf dancing inside of me. It almost made me laugh. We’d never been able to entice a female wolf. We were large and scared most of them away.Werewolves tended to stay away in wolf form, too. Not wanting to get Conric attached and have to hurt him by leaving when they found their mates. We understood. It still meant that he was lonely and I wasn’t the type of comfort he needed.Conric knew it was just for the three nights of the full moon, but he was excited for it all the same. I was happy for him. I’d been able to have women other than my mate before, sometimes we’d do it in half wolf form, but Conric hadn’t gotten to have the full experience.
[Reggie]--Three days later --It was finally time! I was excited. I woke up feeling my full strength for the first time in weeks! Anders told me to wait until training to bring out my demon form. He wanted to have all of the demons there to help, in case it was actually too early.I practically floated through breakfast and assertively pulled Ford into his apartment to feed me. He commented that he’d never seen me as aggressive as I was that morning. It led to a vigorous and potent feeding.-In the barn for training, Anders reiterated what would need to be done if I felt the bloodlus
[3rd person]Ford was thinking about Reggie being a Vasilia. She had to be on their side, or he would have felt the killing urge. The other rulers agreed.The fact that she was definitely on their side, was great news. Even though she’d assured them she wasn’t being used, they knew the gods and goddesses that watched over them wouldn’t allow someone being used by an enemy to live long.It occurred to Ford that, maybe her being a Vasilia was why she felt like Madison. Why it was so easy to imagine Madison when he was with her. Then, he remembered. He’d been holding back, thinking she was a normal concubus. He could use his full strength.
[3rd person]It was an hour before dusk when they met in Madison’s field. Gavin had a large backpack with him and Reggie carried a tent and a bag of her own things. She needed to be prepared.If the fae king became fertile while she was out, she would have to take a break and go deal with him. Gavin told her he’d keep working while she was gone. Reggie appreciated it.They entered the woods. Gavin followed as Reggie led the way to the clearing they’d set up camp in. The area she led him to was perfect.It was a large enough space for the tent to be erected. A stone circle outlined an area for a fire and wood was stacked near
[Reggie]I walked out of the in-between and into a forested park. I was wearing my traditional demon outfit with the sarong and sandals. My wings stretched out behind me.Even though I’d had my demon form back for a couple weeks, I still hadn’t flown. I sniffed the air. This wasn’t close enough.After walking for a while, I found a minor drop off I could use to take flight. It just made it easier than trying to take off from the ground. I ran and jumped off, gliding for a while before I started working my wings into flight.The cool wind off the ocean gave me a little chill. I enjoyed the briskness. I couldn’t remember if I&rsquo
“Let me make this call, Reggie. Then, I’ll gladly take you up on your offer.” Rhys smiled, indicating his cellphone.I nodded and he called his secretary. I wandered away while he took care of his business. I looked at the art decorating the walls, moving silently sideways and examining everything closely.There was a painting of a woman in a green tunic standing in a battle field. The fight raged around her, but she was calmly standing with a raven perched on her hand. Her hair was blood red and flowing behind her, her skin pale as sun bleached bone.“The triple goddess. Morrigan. Goddess of war, fate, and kings.” Rhys murmured behind me, his arms snaking around my waist.“One o
