Zoe's P.O.V.With Jessi and Wyatt busy, I know it's up to me and Ryder to ensure everything runs smoothly in their absence. The first thing I do is call Jock and Trevor to our office. They come with their mates in tow. "Thank you for coming so quickly. Jessi just went into heat, so she and Wyatt will be occupied for the next few days." Davina starts jumping and twirling around happily. I like the fairy, but sometimes she makes my head hurt. "I want you to continue with whatever plans they had put into motion. Just come to Ryder and me if you need anything. We will also be joining your training. We haven't been there in a while, and I think it's important for everyone to be prepared. Do you have any questions?" I ask, looking at the two couples. "No, Your Majesty. Jose's in charge of training schedules, so you may want to talk to him too." Jock says. "I will, thanks." Once they leave, I turn to Ryder. "Are you ready for this?" I ask, sitting on his lap. We

Jessi's P.O.V.Three days. My heat lasted three days. It was great to spend so much alone time with Wyatt, but sometimes, nothing would calm the need inside me. I think there were a few times that he was ready to pass out, so I had to ride him to give him a minute to rest. I told him he was a lightweight, so he went all boss mode on me. Now, that was something to remember. Oh, shit, I better get some sunglasses. I don't need that dancing fairy to be reading my thoughts after three days of hot sex. According to Rieka, we're expecting our first pup. I would have liked more time to prepare for him or her, but I'm excited at the same time. Wyatt is still sleeping, so I haven't told him yet. I wonder if I should tell him I want more sex. No, I don't want him to run away screaming. Penis twirling doesn't work either. After falling and hitting my head, I cursed Davina because it was her fault I even tried. "How are you already awake?" Wyatt asks, turning and putting his

Jessi's P.O.V. I teleport us to the front gate, where several guards and warriors are standing. When they move out of the way, I can't believe what I'm seeing. What is Dawn doing here? "Jessi, please, I need to talk to you." Dawn is from Dark Moon and about two years older than me. We have never been close because I was always loud, and she was quiet. "Go ahead and let her in. She's from Dark Moon." The guards open the gates, and Dawn runs over to hug me. I can feel her shaking as she cries. "What's wrong?" Dawn is a few inches taller than me, with strawberry-blonde hair and green eyes. I see several of the unmated guards and warriors looking at her. She's not mated either, as far as I know. "I was on a road trip with a human friend of mine; we weren't far from here when our car had a flat tire. We got out and were walking, trying to find someone to help, when this man, who h

Jessi's P.O.V.We get Dawn and Jose settled in a room inside the palace, but something is bugging me. Dawn said Aubrey was adamant they needed to go on a road trip and wouldn't take no for an answer. Why do I feel like she was up to something?"Davina, do you think you can do something for me?" I ask my favorite fairy. She twirls over to me excitedly."Anything, Warrior Jessi." I can't help smiling at her. One of these days, I'm going to sit down to talk with her about her life before we met. I bet it's an interesting story that would definitely require popcorn."Do you think you can go to the location where Dawn and Aubrey had a flat tire? I want to know if you sense anything strange there. I know you're more sensitive than most to the presence of supernaturals." She's focusing on me with a serious expression when suddenly she nods and jumps up and down excitedly."Yes, I can do that. Is there anything in particular you're looking for?" I don't

Jessi's P.O.V. I guess Cressida thinks the thunder and lightning are going to scare us, but we're beyond the theatrics. We're ready to kill some witches. Everyone is prepared. This time, she's not getting away. "She just breached the protection I placed in the forest," Rmina says from behind me. "Everyone, she's coming," I yell just as several rogues burst through the front gate. We left it unlocked, idiots, so you could die faster. The first round of warriors, along with Trevor, runs toward them. He's taken the loss of Gabe well. He said they were never really close. Gabe's focus had always been on Cressida. I can't believe the strength Trevor has now. He's taking two or three lycans at a time, even with whatever spell the witches have on them. I look over at Rmina, and she's beaming with pride. "Cressida and Aubrey are almost here," Ariel says from where she's standing next to Zoe. Wyatt,
