Lucern’s POV“Have you ever heard of the Wild Hunt Lucern?” Count Adrian asks, drawing my attention out of my thoughts about running into Jamari in the hallway while leaving my room and back to the meeting I called in order to avoid her. Not that calling Count Adrian from his bed to meet has helped with my wandering thoughts. Jamari is still the top thing on my mind and it is taking every fiber of my control not to storm out of this room to find her.“For Gods sake Lucern. Why would you pull me out of my bed with-” His words die as he searches his brain for the name of his latest conquest. A frown mars his face when he is unable to remember the name of the woman waiting for him in his bed. After shaking his head, he continues. “Why would you call me here if you’re just going to ignore me?” He asks, sitting back in his seat with his arms crossed over his chest. Not many people would have the nerve to speak to me in this manner, but Adrian is like a brother to me and doesn’t fear me a
Levi’s POV“Oh?” I ask Lucern, a knowing grin spreading across my face. Of course the Vampire wouldn’t like the idea of Jamari leaving his Realm, it is what Kenji and I were counting on to get his ass in gear. Lucern freezes in his spot, as if realizing what he just said. Count Adrian looks between Lucern and I before shaking his head and making his way out of the door. “I will catch the two of you later. I have been away from my bed long enough tonight.” He pauses at the door before adding, “I will meet with you again in the morning Lucern.”Lucern turns his attention to his advisor, nodding his head in agreement before turning his attention back to me. “Does Jamari want to leave?” He finally asks after some time has passed. The thought of lying to the man crosses my mind, but I decide to tell him the truth. “Jamari is not happy about leaving and is doing everything she can to prevent us from taking her away from…” I let my sentence die, allowing Lucern to fill in the blank. A loo
Levi’s POV“You look just fine dear.” My mother tells him, surprising me. Up until two months ago, my mother was the bad guy and had ruined my father’s life. Even after all of this time it is still hard to not picture the evil woman I always thought she was. “You two aren’t…” I grimace at the thought of my parents getting back together. “Heavens no.” My mother says, laughing at my discomfort. “Your mother and I are not interested in trying for a real relationship.” My father adds, as he picks himself up off of the basement floor and walks towards Remiel’s cell. “We were never meant for each other.”“Besides,” A twinkle appears in my mother’s eye, catching me off guard. Has my mother ever looked so happy? “A certain Fate has been coming around quite often since your father’s release from his prison.” She continues, a teasing note to her voice. “Definitely could have done without that picture in my head.” I tell them, a shiver of disgust moving through me. “Sex is perfectly natural
Kenji's POV“If Levi doesn’t show up in time then we don’t have to go see Morgana, right?” The hopeful look on Jamari’s face causes a chuckle to move up through my chest as I shake my head in the negative. “We are going to see Morgana whether Levi arrives in time or not.” I tell her, crossing my arms over my chest to shut down any argument she might come up with. A wicked gleam appears in her eyes as she eyes me up and down. Uneasiness moves through me when she begins to move closer to where I stand near the door to our rooms. Ren perks up in anticipation as our mate makes her way closer to us, remembering the last time she tried to talk us out of going to our appointment.A groan leaves my lips as I watch her hips sashay closer to me, a come hither look on her gorgeous face. Before she is able to reach me and shred the remaining shreds of control I have, the smell of fire and brimstone fills the room, dousing us in water. A sigh of relief leaves my lips, while Jamari stops midstep
Lucern’s POV“I will be away from the Vampire Realm for a couple of days Morgana, maybe longer, I am not sure as of yet.” Disappointment crosses Morgana’s face at the thought of my absence. “Is it because of the wolf?” She asks, speaking up about the tension between Jamari and I for the first time in these past two months. My legs shift in place as guilt consumes me once more. “It is not because of Jamari.” I tell her. At least not totally about Jamari, I add in my head. “Count Adrian and I have some important matters to look into that could take some time to wrap up.” Those important matters pertaining to the Wild Hunt and the Dark Hunt soldiers.If the soldiers are on the move eighty years early for their Wild Hunt, then something big must be close to happening, and I have a feeling that that something big has something to do with Jamari. The time is just too coincidental for my liking, and thankfully Adrian agrees with me and has offered to help me look into the matter. I might
Kenji’s POVI took no satisfaction in the way mine and Levi’s words affected Lucern, despite the smug look I placed on my face. The purpose of our words are only to give Lucern a nudge to accept Jamari despite his reservations. Unfortunately, the damned Vampire is more stubborn than Levi! Something I didn’t think was possible. Ren grumbles in agreement at that thought. Removing Jamari from the Vampire Realm and the constant reminder of Lucern’s many rejections is what is best for her, even if she doesn’t think so at this time. Lucern is in love with Jamari just like the rest of us, it is written on his face everytime that we catch him alone with Jamari. Being away from her will be torture to his soul and something he won’t be able to ignore for long without risking going mad. I should know from experience. Being apart from Jamari for those two years turned me into a crueler version of myself that I still have trouble accepting. If it wasn’t for Beta Yuriko keeping me in line throug
Levi’s POVThis is definitely going to be an interesting visit. Lucern hasn’t let the Moirae step foot in the Vampire Realm in over three hundred years. Not since they encouraged his younger brother to attempt to overthrow him, which resulted in his brother losing his life. Lucern has had strong feelings of dislike towards the three Fates ever since. And the fact that they are here to visit with Jamari only means that they are here to stir up more trouble again. Probably in an attempt to keep us from taking Jamari away from the Vampire Realm and away from Lucern.I run my fingers through my hair as I prepare for whatever mischief these ladies are about to unleash on us and also for the showdown between them and Lucern. Jamari sits up between us, her curious eyes moving between the Fates and Lucern. ‘Should we be worried?’ Kenji’s concerned voice flits through my head. ‘The last time we tried to keep Jamari away from one of her mates they sent you away which resulted in Jamari being
Eve’s POV“There has got to be something in this old book of spells that can help free Remiel from his current state.” I push the book aside, letting out a tired sigh. My fingers move up to rub down my face as I fight the hopelessness battling to take over. Lucifer and I can’t keep Remiel under control for much longer, we have to find something to help alleviate his mental state. Levi’s sleep spell won’t be able to keep him under indefinitely and if we don’t have something to combat my spell by the time he wakes up then my spell will hit him in full force, sending him into a frenzy. I have used this spell on countless others over the centuries, and no one has ever reacted in this manner before. Something is causing Remiel’s mind to break down under the weight of the voices filling his head. If only we could find a way to mute the voices, then we have a greater chance of keeping him under control. If I ever want my son to forgive me for the wrongs that I have done and trust me to be
