Lucern’s POVIn the blink of an eye both Jamari and Morgana disappear from the room, causing my heart to stop beating in my chest as despair threatens to take over me. The sound of Kenji’s roar snaps me out of the weight of loss pulling me down, springing me into action. I grab ahold of one of Kenji’s arms, as Levi grabs the other, preventing him from attacking the Fates.Fur begins to sprout on his arms beneath my hold, the sound of his bones breaking and rearranging filling the small room as he gets harder to hold in place with each passing second. While I am all for killing the Fates for what they have just done, I am not foolish enough to believe that I would stand a chance.And neither does Kenji. Which would normally not be my problem, but if Jamari returned to find her Lycan mate killed for attacking the Fates, she would be heartbroken and I couldn’t stand that. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?” He roars at the Fates, his teeth snapping as spit flies out of his mouth. “Oh relax.” Clotho
Kieran’s POV“Fly a bit closer, my loyal pet.” My words ring through to the Raven currently flying around outside of the castle in the Vampire Realm. The bird lands on the window sill looking into the Witch’s cottage, giving me a clear view of the Wolf Queen and the others standing around her protectively. Two men hover around my future bride, anxious expressions filling their faces, as one man, the Vampire King, stands off to the side, quietly observing the others. These must be the Wolf Queen’s mates I’ve heard so much about.All three men are good looking and extremely tall with varying looks and sizes. Looking at the men causes a burst of anxiety to rush through me. Would my Wolf Queen find me as attractive as she must find these men? The Fae are known for their beauty and mine is sought after by many in the Fae Realm, but will my lighter looks appeal to the woman who is surrounded by darkness? Every one of her mates currently present in the room with her is darkness compared to
Lachesis’ POV “Where is your head sister?” Clotho asks, her worried gaze focused on me. “We do not have time to dally. We must find a way to return Jamari from the Fae Realm quickly before it is too late.” A tendril of fear emanates from Clotho at those words. Whether it be from fear of Levi, the King of the Demons, or out of fear of something terrible happening to Jamari while in the Fae Realm. Not that that is likely to happen if the future goes the way that I have seen. If everything goes as planned Jamari should find her way back to us within a week. But I can’t tell my sisters that, they would be furious if they found out what I did. “What have you done Lachesis?” Atropos asks me quietly, her narrowed gaze focused on my face. Uncomfortable under her intense gaze, I squirm in my seat, avoiding looking her in her eyes. Clotho stiffens in her seat beside me, her gaze now focused on my face as well. “What is it Atropos?” She asks, not giving me the chance to defend myself.
Jamari’s POVLachesis’ words keep running through my head like a broken record. ‘Morgana, dear. Could you come over here for a moment?’ Is something wrong with my baby? My hands instinctiely move to protect the tiny bundle quickly growing within my womb. Nothing can happen to my sweet baby. Morgana’s warm hand stays covering my stomach as a frown begins to form on her face. That can’t be good. Why is she frowning like that?Power swells all around us, moving in squiggly lines from each of the Fates and headed in our direction, meanwhile a fourth tendril of power makes its way towards us from the window. My gaze follows the tendril of power until my eyes are met with the sight of a Raven sitting outside on the window sill. What the heck is going on?My final thought before I am plunged into darkness, drowning in the intensity of it. Anxiety begins to build up within me, choking me with fear. The feel of Morgana’s hand still resting on my abdomen is the only thing that keeps me from g
Lucern’s POVWhere the hell did Levi and Kenji run off to? We need to be finding a way to get Jamari out of the Fae Realm before one of the creatures there tears her apart. My steps falter as I get nearer to the entrance to my Castle. Two bloody men come sauntering up the courtyard scaring the servants in and out of the Castle. Dozens of terrified vampires quickly run in the opposite directions of the two men coming closer to where I stand in shock.Is that Kenji and Levi? What in the bloody hell happened to those two? Were they attacked while walking around the Castle or the surrounding forest? My eyes roam over the distance in search of what threat Jamari’s mates might have come across. “Move.” Levi orders when he reaches where I stand just inside the open doorway. My brow raises in question at his brusque tone. “What has got into you?” I ask, not moving from my spot. My arms wrap around my chest as I study both Kenji and Levi in turn. “I said, MOVE.” Levi repeats, his voice rai
Jamari’s POVSix more creatures of a smaller size exits the trees on either side of the big one and stops beside it.The sound of their shrieks threatens to buckle my knees beneath me as fear washes over me from the sight. How will I get us out of this alive?‘I am here with you Jamari.’ Rieka’s soft voice floats through my mind, sending a calming aura over me. Power floods my system as I pull on Remiel’s power stored within my body, instinct telling me that his power would be the most effective in this situation. Lightning crackles in the air around us, causing the creatures to still as they glance at me wearily. A golden light emanates from my skin, lighting up the clearing around me enough for Morgana to get a look at the creatures standing around us. A gasp of fear and disgust floats up to me from Morgana’s hiding place behind me. ‘The larger creature must be their Queen.’ Rieka tells me as we study our opponents for weaknesses. Their skinless bodies glisten in the light comin
Jamari’s POV We need to find a way to get out of the Fae Realm quickly before this High Queen Mab of the Unseelie Court learns of our presence within her Realm. If there are more creatures out there like the giants I just saved then there could be dangers at every corner. I must do what I need to do to ensure that I make it back to my Kings quickly. “You should not have risked your life and that of your child’s like that.” Morgana’s disapproving voice pulls me out of my thoughts and back to the anger that I felt earlier at her interruption. I turn on Morgana who stands just outside of the tree trunk, her arms crossed over her breasts in irritation. SHE is irritated with ME! My anger fumes inside of me, begging to be released on the woman that has made my life more difficult these past two months. “YOU should not have interfered in something I was handling.” I tell her coldly. “I had everything under control until you called out for me and put them in a frenzy.” My eyes glance d
Morgana’s POVIf I do not find a way to replenish my magic stores soon I will be nothing but a step above a human. Defenseless and useless in battle if we come across more creatures here in the dark forest. Things have been quiet during the last two hours of our walking aimlessly through the forest, but that could change at any moment. I can not sit back and rely on Jamari to protect me from the dangers of the forest. She is heavily pregnant afterall. My eyes search for her in the darkness, the silhouette of her standing beside me the only thing I can make out of my surroundings. With my inability to see in the darkness surrounding us, I have been forced to latch onto Jamari like a small child holding on to their mother. It has been a long time since I have felt so helpless and I have decided that I do not like it one bit. But how can I restore my magic here in the forest?I should have used one of the giants that Jamari saved to fill up my magic before they scurried off into the da
