I stretched my arms up over my head and opened my eyes in a panic, wondering where in the hell I was."You had sex with a hot demon you just met and are in his bed, in his house next door to Lucifer where Noah, your mate is located," Adira reminded me. I squinted my eyes and told her to hush in my aching brain. I tossed the cover off and glanced around the neatly decorated room. I glanced down at my bare breasts and briefly recalled what I'd done the previous evening. I could hear a shower running and assumed that was where Dagon was. I looked around for a closet with clothes so I could borrow a t-shirt. The bathroom door opened and the man from last evening came out in a cloud of steam. His yellow eyes landed on me and he grinned."Morning sweetheart, waters hot if you want to shower," he said sincerely and I thanked him and asked for a shirt. He rummaged through his closet and handed me a large plain gray one."You can keep it," he said after tossing it to me. I laughed and told him
The flight to Colorado seemed shorter as my mind tried to comprehend what was going on in Noah's odd thought process. The plane landed with thoughts of Noah and Dagon being buddy buddy concerning me. I wondered why, if Dagon intended to mark me before Noah. Raina told me to grab some of my bags as she and Eric headed toward the plane's exit with their arms full of my things."Thought this was just a short getaway but you packed like it's permanent," Eric exclaimed. I shrugged and hoisted the bag up on my shoulder. We loaded the rental car and Raina mentioned that my mom had called a cleaning service and that the house should be clean when we arrive."She also had the pantry stocked and freezer so you'll have food," she exclaimed. I nodded and climbed in the back next to my bags. I stared out the window as Eric headed out onto the highway and we traveled toward the thick forest. My mother's property was located on the outskirts of a national forest. Thirty acres with a cabin built in
I laid face first onto the king-size mattress and made an obnoxious noise like my body was leaking. Yeah, I farted, a long rumbling of hot gas. "Not very lady-like," Adira mentions and I told her that my stomach feels much better. I got a whiff of the smell and buried my face into the pillow and thought Noah would have given me a point for that one. I scrambled out of bed and went to open the balcony door to air out my stench. I stepped out on the patio to see the moon already high in the night sky. I overheard giggles and glanced over towards the barn, and saw Anna and a man with undeniable white hair. "That hoe bag moves fast," I growled and Adira agreed wholeheartedly. Noah may not believe in mates but I did and it was getting painful to see him with so many other women. "What are you going to do, dearest?" My wolf asked me. I slipped on my converse and told her I was going to break up the party. I ran down the stairs and outside towards the barn speaking loudly enough so they co
I crossed my arms in the leather seat on the private jet and swore I blinked and we were already there. I looked down at all the neon and felt a rush of uneasiness."Ezra is sending a car to pick you up," Raina said softly and I nodded and glanced over at her. She was acting like she wanted to say something so I asked what."How many men have you been with, I ask because Noah is so…worldly," I laughed and agreed with her choice of word. "Noah's been with hundreds I'm certain whereas I have been intimate with two. Robert Bucks who took my v card and Dagon," I announced and she gasped at me."Why didn't you give it to Noah?" She asked and I told her he didn't want me in that way. She frowned and told me sorry and that I was a beautiful woman. I smiled and told her I was alright with it all."I only recently started getting jealous, strange," I mumbled sourly and she explained that my maturity had come and it changes your thought process. I nodded as the plane made its way to the airport
I laid on my back going over what had occurred between Noah and myself. His blatant nonsense of not being friends anymore was as ridiculous as when I announced it. I knew enough about mates that nothing would keep them apart once the swap of each other's cells had occurred. Our kiss caused his entire being to crave me and his marriage to Brenda wouldn't faze him one tiny bit or stop his need for me. A face entered my line of sight. It was a young dark-haired female demon with a smile on her small face. "Hello Raven, I'm Harper and was sent by the big guy to help you out," she said cheerfully. I mumbled "fabulous" as I sat up and huffed in frustration. "I'm told that you shouldn't experience your mate's heat so that I may claim mine," she said with a large grin. I noticed her fangs and asked if Dagon was her mate. She nodded and told me Lucifer told her that he was and that I would help her. I sat up and rubbed my eyes and froze hearing the most frightening howl I'd ever heard. I looke
"Oh wow, you're one of those golden blood freaks like my husband. Come look, Harper," Brenda shouted and the woman came out from the vegetation and approached her. Brenda pulled her close and kissed her fully on the mouth. She looked at me and grinned."You've met my true mate and you're mother knew my father Brian the commander-in-chief of the golden blood project. Shame he's still hiding out, it would have been a fantastic reunion," she cackled and I winced as she lifted me one-handed."My mother isn't even in America and I can assure you she abhors only bitter hate for the beast who raped her. I know this because she told me how cruel they were to her. There is one thing I wonder about. Why wed Noah if Harper is your real mate?" I asked curiously. Brenda rolled her eyes before she answered."Noah is heir to a huge fortune, plus he's the descendant of lust himself so sexual energy just radiates off of him. He's like a light to a moth," she sighed as she daydreamed."No woman can resi
It's been snowing for months now and I feel like I'm going to lose my sanity. Cabin fever is a very real thing and today I've decided to try out my snow boots. Noah went back to the desert to take care of his annulment to a dead demon and informed me that he'd come back during the first thaw. I called him a pussy for running away from the weather. I was surprised that the bitter chill didn't affect me and I credit Adira for that. My fire wolf kept me toasty internally. Most of the workers returned to their homes so it was just Dagon, his pal, Timothy and I staying at the property. Raina and Eric left for Siberia ages ago. Dagon and I have become great friends and he informed me that Harper had played him. I told him I knew that since Brenda was her actual mate. We also had one of his pals come to help out. A fellow Dagon called Jinx. He was a cheerful demon and was happy to help, coming fast friends with Timothy. I was watching the young man head toward me in a rush."We are down to fi
I gagged at the strong rotten egg smell coming from the grotesque beast's body."Why are you taking me?" I questioned him and he grunted and informed me that I was to be the queen and share leadership of his army of misfits. "And of course, we will mate and try however many times it takes to produce our successors," he mumbled softly with red glowing eyes. I swallowed uncomfortably and laughed awkwardly. There was no way in hell I'd let him put any part of himself inside my person. I looked back at my home and my heart sank. I did however see both demons waving at me underneath the debris. I shooed at them not wanting either of them to get themselves killed. Brian stopped so I turned to see why. I watched as an enormous black shadow started to rise before us with two red eyes blazing that were focused on the creature holding me captive."You're so dead. If you're wise I'd set me down and leave here immediately because that's Keir and he's my fire wolf's mate," I announced. Brian growl
