I was nervous to meet my mother … no sister. I felt I had failed her in some way. And wondered how she would receive me. I had let her down by just accepting Isidora's words or maybe it was the grief that ate at me. Losing my only family; the only person I truly trusted was hard for me. I was glad she held no grudges. Hearing her confirm Dane's deduction about my mother was surreal. It felt like mere speculation when Dane told me and now I know without any doubt that he was right. Evanore was my sister and not my mother. I have so many questions to ask about my biological father and wanted to know if Hekate ever came back to check on us, but I decided to do that later. Perhaps when we are alone. Fury welled inside me as she told us about her ordeal with Isidora. That two-faced bitch will get what is coming to her. I am so happy Evanore was going to be alright and it was a tad endearing to watch the powerful immortal hovering about her like some guardian angel. He was a guardian aft

“I have an idea of what to do with the bodies,” Evanore said and reached for Saraya’s hand. The two exchanged a glance. “Follow my lead,” she added. Saraya nodded. We all stood back and watched as the two walked away to stand in a small clearing at the center of the bodies with Saraya bodily supporting Evanore.Evanore started to mutter in an old tongue and Saraya joined in. A portal opened up in the sky and by the look of it, it was different from the cloudy one of this realm. This one was dark and the clouds were shimmering with a million stars. The bodies started to disintegrate into sparkles of light; like fireflies and fluttered through the open veil and up into the dark sky. Soon enough, the ground that was littered with bodies, was now only marred with blood. The dark sky was illuminated even more with shimmery stars. Saraya gasped in awe and gave her sister a happy smile. “Now they have gone home and would be light for the Westlands,” Evanore said. "It is so beautiful. Thank

Just like we did in the wild region, Saraya and Evanore created several portals to get all the captives back to their villages, but before we did, I made Saraya wipe out the memories of the human females before leaving them all at their doorsteps. Hauser and Kahn wanted to stay back with us but I told them they needed to go back home. We let them through to their village after scouting the area and found it relatively peaceful. The village was unnervingly deserted, and I wondered if there were even any Lycans left behind during the raid. The streets reeked of death and a few of the houses were burnt. About three thousand Lycans walked through the tunnel to Hauser and Kahn’s village alone. I let out a sigh, wondering how they would rebuild their lives. “I will have my men get some aids here, you just need to give me a few minutes,” I said to Hauser and Kahn. They both lowered to the ground on one knee and bowed to me. The rest of the rescued Lycans joined in. “Thank you, Alpha,”

As soon as we got back to the house, Anastasios Martas ushered Evanore away, insisting she needed to rest. I noted the entire place looked normal, the front door was back in place and I assumed the hole in my kitchen wall would have disappeared too. I suppose there was an advantage to having two immortal witches under my roof. The foyer was empty now and I couldn't perceive the guardians downstairs. Thinking they had all taken my advice on taking a break, I placed an open palm on Saraya's back and shepherded her up the stairs. She clung to my side, pressing her face to my skin. We both shared a bath and took turns helping to wash each other's hair. Kneeling in front of her, I framed her hips and shut my eyes as she poured shampoo into my hair and worked up a lather. I tried to not think of my position and her full luscious breast pointed at my face. After a while, I gave in and first nuzzled the pinkish, beaded peaks with my nose, listening to her breath catch with pleasure.

"It is time," Dane said into my ear. I opened my eyes, peering into his beautiful eyes. He smiled. "I'm sorry, I promise I will let you sleep after this." I reached up to frame his face, searching his intense eyes, and then kissed him. He took over instantly, running his fingers through my hair, and devouring me. When he groaned, I giggled. "Rain check?" I said. He nodded and kissed me thoroughly before lifting me off the bed. "Should I go and get Evanore and Anastasios Martas?" I asked as he ushered me down the corridor. "Everyone is downstairs, love," he replied. The guardians were all standing about in the foyer when we climbed down the stairs. Evanore, as expected, was standing with Anastasios Martas in a corner of the room. Raedwulf Lykaon was with his mate and a lovely pair of green eyes, met mine with ardent curiosity, I smiled at her. She gave me an awkward one. "Hi. I'm Saraya…" I said as I walked to meet the two after giving Evanore a hug and giving Anastasios M
