Conri and King Fenris laughed as I said, "Beyond pissed. I took the ladies who are guarding me, and we went to my new gym. By the way, thanks for that dad. I've already knocked Conri's brothers on their asses." Mom and dad laughed as I said, "I think you guys are going to be safe. For some reason, they are after me." Mom said, "Unfortunately, I think this may be another one of your trials." I said, "Well, tomorrow, I am meeting with the leader of the Centaurs to form an alliance. Queen Eden has told me that she can take me to meet the Fae High table and Queen Lakelyn has offered to take me to meet the Queen of the Fairies." Mom said, "When you get to the Fairies and the Fae, call on Selene. They will want that sign of status." I said, "That's what I was thinking too." We all decided that the four guards around me is plenty, but they would also stay around me when I'm with Conri. There would be a minimum of four warriors guarding our wing at all times, and two more who stayed

I woke up, looked at the clock, and it was my usual five am internal alarm. For some reason, it doesn't matter how late I stay up, I never sleep later than five am. Well, except yesterday morning. I tried to just get out of bed, but I was held down by a huge arm that was flung over my ribs. I chuckled as I lifted it gently, to be able to get out of bed, without waking my mate. I put my pillow in my place as I went to the bathroom and got ready for the day. After putting my hair in a high ponytail and brushing my teeth, I went into the closet and put on a pair of black leggings and a black sports bra. I put on my black Nikes and walked out of our bedroom. I went to the kitchen first, and got a cup of coffee, then went to the gym to sip my coffee and wait for King Fenris.  It was only five-thirty, so I knew I had some time to just chill and ease into my day. I did my stretches and then I stepped out of the gym, and noticed my guards are there. I invited them in, and Trina

I started looking at my guards, and Trina was the one who was sniffing the air. She turned around and smiled as a very handsome Centaur approached her. He picked her up bridal style and said, "Mate." Trina put her hand on his cheek, and she smiled as she said, "Mine." I said, "Well, that's why you never found your mate, Trina, he was all the way up here!" King Chiron laughed and said, "Zughar is one of our best warriors, and he will now be one of yours." Zughar looked at him in disbelief. Zughar bowed and said, "Thank you, your majesty." King Chiron said, "Not long ago, we had a drifter find his way here and his mate was here. I would not let her leave, because I had a bad feeling about him. I was right. He tried to kill her when she wouldn't sleep with him on the first night. He is no longer living." I said, "You have my full support on that decision. Any man who will hit a woman, outside of training or battle, doesn't deserve to live." He smiled and said, "I knew I would like you.

We walked into the main hall of the castle, and I see four Centaurs and King Izzoth talking with King Fenris and Queen Nina. Conri and I walk up to them, and I say, "Hello, everyone!" I approached King Izzoth and gave him a hug. I approached King Chiron, and he held his arms out for a hug. I stepped in them and gave him a hug. I shook the other Centaurs hands as they told me their names. Trina's mate, Zughar, Thraag, Ezram and Delvor are the Centaurs who will be here to guard me. I asked Chiron to go to the conference room with me for a moment. As we walk into the conference room, I said, "There has been a new development. Apparently, there is a wolf/vampire hybrid who wants me and my mother dead. It is very apparent that he doesn't know that my twin brother is also a direct descendent of the Moon Goddess, or he is making the mistake of underestimating him. Regardless, here we are. History is repeating itself on the next generation."  King Izzoth said, "I have a

I woke up the next morning at my usual time, feeling surprisingly rested. I tried to get up, but I had a giant arm pulling me close to him. Each time I moved away; he would tighten his grip. I had my back to him, but I could feel him chuckling quietly. I said, "I need to get out of bed. I need to work out, so that I can get this day started. I really want all of the alliances done today, so I can concentrate on just having fun with Miranda, tomorrow." He smiled, "You are so good to our people. You're so good to me and my family. I want you to be able to have fun with her tomorrow. You deserve a day for you." I turned to face him and said, "Are you okay with me being out without you?" He said, "You're going to have plenty of protection. I will miss you though." I smiled and said, "I'll miss you too. Now, are you going to let me out of bed? Maybe you could hold the bag for me and spar with me this morning?" He said, "I guess. As long as we get to take a shower together after it." I sa
