Zaika's povWhen Atlas and I reappeared back at Asher's house it was deathly quiet. The scent of blood was strong and Atlas groaned loudly."I shouldn't have helped his demon. Asher has fed from his supposed mate and has grown stronger," he said firmly."What does that even mean? Did he kill that poor female?" The reaper eyed me candidly."You're going to have to defeat him I'm afraid," he muttered and I frowned. I wanted to just live life with my son and Sasha, the issue with my demon brother was annoying to me."Shouldn't my father deal with him? I mean he is better equipped to deal with a demon than I," I muttered. Atlas laughed sarcastically while shaking his head."It's not his destiny but yours. You are the one that should be dead technically." Hearing a whimper, I turned from the smart ass and searched for the source of the sound. Heading through the dark hallway I walked into a black-painted bedroom and saw Esmerelda, bruised and nude in the fetal position on the bed. Her fac

Zaika's pov"I left the harness at Vossler's!" I announced firmly.Atlas nodded, disappeared, and returned with the ornate item. Taking it from his hands I took off my clothes and buckled it on before redressing myself."Are you both ready?" The reaper asked.Nodding I held Sasha's hand while Atlas grinned smugly and placed his hand on my back. We vanished suddenly. When I opened my eyes I was on a beach full of huge Dire Wolves. The large area was tied off in sections and challenges were being announced for several kingdoms. "How many Dire Wolves are there?" Atlas side-eyed me and said, "You need to go to the gentleman there and make your challenge known before the challenging time for the royalty ends!" Following his finger I frowned at the long line before the man he said I had to speak with."Take the queen with you and cut the line. Your challenge is more prevalent than those others." Pulling Sasha along with me, the pair of us weaved our way forward. "Your name sir and the chal

Zaika's povGallum had been weak and it bothered me that he would simply sacrifice himself so callously. I felt angry with myself for being hurt by my backstabbing best friend's sudden death. I had won the crown yet wasn't thrilled. Tucking the document in the inside of my shirt I glanced around. Seeing all the chaos Gallum had caused by his explosive death was heartbreaking. Vossler and Bryce seemed unaware of the devastation going on around them until I shouted at them both to look around. Taking their eyes off the stacks of bills they held they glanced around. Both their eyes bulged and mouths fell."Yeah, take it all in! The highest-ranking Dire Wolves are injured and some I am certain are dead but all you care about is money," I scolded them both. "We heard the explosion but we were collecting our win from the back over yonder," Vossler asserted. Shaking my head at the pair I tilted my head hearing several shouts for a medic. Bryce knowing I was gifted and could heal, led me to s

Zaika's povThe next day I awoke with Sasha's nude body draped over mine. Grinning at recalling how we had made love for hours brought me much happiness."She is surely seeded and probably carrying a pair of pups," Einar chortled in my subconscious. Pecking the top of her blonde head, I tried to scoot out from underneath her to go to the bathroom without waking her. Sasha blinked her eyes and peered up at me with a smirk."Morning sweetie, how are you feeling?"She stretched her arms around my head and sighed."I feel perfectly content and exactly where I should be. Aspen also tells me that we are having fraternal twins, a male and female pup," she said softly. Grinning smugly I pulled her up closer."Then we will name them Callie and Will!""Calli with just an i" she giggled and hugged my neck. A knock sounded at our suite door and Sasha hurried to the bathroom while I donned a robe and went to see who it was. Gerald stood there with his head bowed."Sorry for disturbing you Highness

Zaika's povThe vehicle pulled into the garage and Gerald cleared his throat to gain our attention. Sasha and I broke apart with embarrassment over our intimate moment. I buttoned up my shirt and Sasha adjusted her blouse."Wish we could continue," she giggled and looked up at me with sultry eyes. Grinning, I told her that we had to deal with our kingdom before anything else. Sasha pouted. Brushing my fingers against her cheek I told her I love her and was going to go speak with Justin. Sasha smiled coyly and nodded."Your items will be delivered in a few hours until then I can suggest that the queen meet with the kitchen staff to discuss meal preparation and preferences," Gerald said firmly holding the car door open for us. I watched Sasha pat her hair down and chuckled."You look adorable, dear," I told her then pecked her cheek before I climbed out."I'm going to see Justin," I informed Gerald as I passed him. Going to my advisor's office once again I knocked firmly on the door. Jus
