[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

[Ford]As the sun rose, I was sitting by Madison’s tree. I picked a few cherries and was telling her about everything that happened the day before. Without Reggie there to distract me, I was able to spend a lot more time tending the field and tree.I started having trouble sleeping three days after she left. I made the effort to eat, but meal times weren’t as much fun without Reggie there to make me laugh or challenge me to eating competitions. I was fairly certain Madison sent Reggie to help me get my strength back. Part of me knew I had to be stronger than I was.Conric missed Reggie, too. He said no one could scratch like she could. Aria tried, but she scratched too fast and unevenly. We knew there wouldn’t be much time left with Reggie when she ret

[Reggie]I looked at the number. I didn’t want to call the royals. Mostly, I wanted to take a nap. I had no idea why I was so tired, but it was like something in me was changing. Probably the spell working, or my body preparing for impregnating Rhys.After dawdling for a while, straightening up the shelves, cleaning the fluted edges of the desk, playing with the desk toys, and carefully examining every title of every book on the shelves, I finally couldn’t think of another thing to do instead of calling them. Such bullshit.I groaned. This would be annoying, but I was in their territory and a lot of people had seen me heading to the fae king’s home. I picked up the handset and dialed the number on the paper.

[Reggie]I knew I was dreaming. Unlike other dreams, this one held an air of falsehood. I was in a clearing that was familiar, but unfamiliar. It was warm with the late afternoon sun.Flashes of memory showed this place with people roaming, playing, and napping in the sun. Other flashes showed it dark and rain drenched. I shook my head.A woman sat on a wide, flat rock. She tossed a stick for a red and white dog. No. That was a wolf. I saw it was Reika and grinned.This must be the goddess who’d been guiding me. A sudden spark of recognition hit me. The woman from the painting. It was the Morrigan.The woman smiled at me. She had warm, honey brown eyes a

[Reggie/Madison/Rei] I woke up around noon and looked at Conric sleeping beside me. Wrapping my arms around him, I took a deep breath. Inhaling the scent of my mate. Soon, we could really be together. It was everything I’d wanted this whole year.‘Our mate is gorgeous. I can’t wait to come back for him.’ Rei said.‘Neither can I. We need to get out to the in-between. You up for a quick run, Rei?’‘More than you know. How do we escape the house?’
