SARA POV Cold air is blowing against my legs, and I don't like it. Where is my blanket? Where is Floki? He always sleeps in between my legs. I shift a little to get comfortable, and instead of my couch, I feel rocks push into my skin. As my consciousness comes to me slowly, tidbits of Jannah and different dresses flash in my mind. Suddenly I remember the green-eyed redhead standing outside the bathroom door, and I freeze. My eyes fly open, but I can't see anything because I am facing a wall. I try to keep my breathing light and my body still as I completely panic. I have no idea how she knocked me out or carried me out of the store, but she did. She slipped past Jannah, who is a full-grown werewolf, twice. This girl is dangerous. I have no idea how to defend myself, and since she managed to do all that, I bet she is a werewolf. She must have a thing for Tav! Shit. A crazy stalker has kidnapped me. "You can stop faking like you are asleep, Sara. I'm not going to hurt you,

SARA POV. PG 13 I yawn and stretch as I wake up feeling refreshed. I haven't slept that deeply in a long time. "You are so beautiful," a deep voice mumbles, and I squeak before looking at my reading chair. Octavius smiles at me and stands up. He stretches as if he has been sitting there for a long time, and I immediately feel bad. I sit up, and Floki jumps to the floor. "Here, the couch is better," I say, and he grins. He approaches me slowly and bends down. He runs his thumb over my cheekbone while staring into my eyes, which makes me almost swoon. "I need to use the restroom real quick, but when I get back, I need answers. You slept for a long time, and as I watched you, my curiosity about your kidnapper grew," he mumbles, and I nod like an obedient child. His hands fall away from my face, and he heads for my tiny bathroom. I immediately get up and straighten my couch. I run my fingers through my hair and straighten my clothes. I breathe into my palm and cringe at th

OCTAVIUS POV "How is she? Is she okay," Garrett asks the second I stroll through the front door. I grin as I see the group of people waiting for me in the large packhouse living room. "She is perfect. Not a hair out of place," I reply, and a sigh of relief whooshes out of all the females' mouths. Kohn hugs his human mate, and Lucifer throws his arm over Marie's shoulders. Jannah's pups smile before going back to talking to each other, and Brittany approaches me with a grin the size of Alaska. "Tav, I was wondering if I could meet her. Jannah has convinced me that your mate is an angel," Brittany says, coming to a halt about a foot away from me. I shrug and nod at the same time while shooting Jannah a small glance. "Sure. I plan on bringing her to the packhouse soon. Our first date got ruined, but maybe that was for the best. Most mates eat here first, and my mate seems to like things simple," I say as Jannah and Jake begin to approach me too. Their approach seems no

AMBER POV rated R "So a siren politely kidnapped your son's mate, and we not only believe her, we are trying to do her a favor," Selene asks in disbelief, and I bite my lip. "I didn't like that part either. Why didn't she just speak with Sara? What was the point in taking her," I ask aloud, and Lucian wraps an arm around my waist? Anniki appears behind Selene in the bowl of tap water, and I take a deep, reassuring breath. "Morning, Anniki. I'm sorry for keeping you two from getting to bed, but this seems to be a time-related thing," I say, greeting the Goddess of night as calmly as I can. Anniki shakes her head at me and folds her arms. Her lips become thin lines as she looks at me, and I glance at Selene before refocusing on Anniki. "Amber, why are you concerning yourself with the dragons," Anniki asks, sounding annoyed, and my defenses immediately pop up. "Because I am allowed to care," I snap back, and Selene shakes her head almost sadly. Anniki was obviously list

THIRD POV "I wanted the human here, Marina. The Goddess will not listen to a plea from some random human. I wanted her as a bargaining tool. You failed me," Dagahra growls, and Marina flinches before meeting his angry yellow eyes. "I'm not my mother, Dagahra. My abilities are minuscule compared to hers. I was barely able to conceal her scent after placing her under, and he still found me before I fully unlocked her mind. I did manage to give her a compelling dream, though, and I saw the majority of her memories. You never know... the Goddess Selene has made many mistakes in the past. She might be easily swayed by heartfelt begging," Marina says with hope in her voice, and the dragon in front of her roars. His large blue wings unfold and flap to express his annoyance with her ill-thought plan. "If you continue to refuse to get your hands dirty, my dear, I will be forced to act. Your people are powerful in magic but weak when it comes to your bodies. So let me remind you...you
