What happens when fate brings them back together and the secrets begin to unravel? Calyx has her secrets that she has sworn to keep. With Theodavian returning as her family legacy forces her to stay put, it is fate that they once again cross paths. The secrets she keeps are robbing her of immortality, but fate forces all secrets to be revealed. What if she can no longer protect Theodavian from the secrets she carries? What if he won't allow her to? * Seraphina is the palace healer of The Great Willow. When she was a child, her parents were murdered beyond recognition.

Calyx smelled blood before she saw it.
As she drew closer to the little cabin in the woods, thoughts of what she had just done dissipated. Tension mounted, contrasting the usually picturesque imagery of the cabin next to the stables and her father’s workshop at the edge of the City of Pearl. There was only fear and dread as her breathing became rapid and heavy.
A flame flickered within the cabin. Candlelight bounced off the walls and she could see it through the wide open door. Why was the door wide open?
Drawing closer, the shape of the legs curled to the side of a prone body caused tears to sting her eyelids. She peeked inside and found the lifeless eyes of her father. He was long gone from the world now. Bringing a hand up to cover her mouth, she wished to scream out, but she knew she was not alone.
“You worthless fool,” a familiar voice cackled.
Her heart clenched. She heard a crack then a body slammed against the wall. Forcing herself to continue, she walked around the fallen body of her father into the kitchen of the cabin. Shocked, she watched her sister grasping their mother by the throat.
“Ah, look,” her sister chuckled darkly, glancing over at her. “Look, Mother. Look who decided to finally arrive back home.”
“Marissa,” Calyx choked out. “What is the—”
A dark hooded figure emerged from the shadows in the corner of the room. Only the bottom half of the female’s face was seen with a slash of a smirk. Unruly waves of ebony hair cascaded over her chest. As she lifted the hood and let the fabric pool back to the nape of her neck, one name struck her with recognition.
Vera.
The Vampiress of Wystendel.
She was here.
“Child,” Vera called to her sister. Her sister immediately turned to the lady and she saw the bite marks upon her sister’s neck. Blood smeared down her skin, dripping on the fabric of her dress. “It is time to take our leave. Stop toying with your prey.”
Her sister’s head slowly turned. Cold eyes met hers and she knew that there was nothing left within them that resembled her sister. No longer the sweet, kind soul that held compassion and empathy, there was only the sharp edge of a knife glinting in the depths of them. Her sister had become a deadly weapon and not one that served to protect.
“Caly,” her mother croaked, struggling against the tight grip on her throat.
Immediately her eyes went to her mother as her sister growled. Fingers curled even more painfully into sensitive skin. The sharp gasp from her mother shattered her, but the fear stifled her will to react. Using a broken piece of wood, her mother drove it into her sister’s thigh. Her sister’s hissed and she quickly released her grip. Their mother stumbled forward, rushing towards her. She grabbed her before they escaped out of the kitchen.
As they made it to the front door, she felt her mother fly backward away from her. She gasped, turning back around. Her mother crashed against the wall before she slumped into a pile of crumpled limbs as Vera approached her.
“No, Caly!” her mother cried as Calyx took a step back into the cabin in an attempt to help her. “Shift! Run!”
She watched as Vera forced her mother to her feet. She shoved her back to her hobbling sister. The piece of wood still protruded out of the flesh of her sister’s thigh.
“Kiss your mother goodnight,” Vera commanded as her sister caught her.
“Caly!” Her mother glanced over at her. Their eyes locked. “Remember,” she begged her. “She is no longer your sister. Be not merciful.”
Her sister smacked their mother across the face, causing her face to crack to the side with force. Her sister sank her teeth into the exposed flesh of their mother's throat. A scream tore out of Calyx as her sister ripped a chunk from their mother’s neck. Her sister spat it out and turned to her, letting her see her for the monster she truly was.
Blood.
Their mother’s blood smeared across her face, dripping off her skin. Their mother’s body fell away from her sister’s grip as gravity forced the inevitable. She watched her mother's body crumble and thud against the floor.
Tears blurred her vision as she took in both fallen bodies of their mother and father. Lifeless. Frozen in shock and pain, she barely registered that Vera and her sister were now approaching her with a specific purpose.
“It is time,” Vera purred, finally drawing Calyx out of her trance. “Time to end the Archer bloodline, Child.”
“Yes, Sire.”
She is no longer your sister.
Wrath wrapped around her. How could this have happened? How could she have lost so much in one night? As she glanced up at the monster eyeing her with deadly intent, she saw the reason behind it all. Channeling the pain of betrayal, heartbreak, and loss, her body shifted into a wolf.
Be not merciful.
She would be the beast to her sister’s monster.
Calyx's paws flew across the ground. She heard his paws striking the soil right behind her, following her lead as they ran through the night. Vampires were still hot on their trail, but they were at the moment, outrunning the determined creatures. They were running through the patch of forest before they hit a fairly large lake that dropped down over the edge into a waterfall. The water wasn't easy to cross due to the turbulence, but it was the best place to lose some of them.There is a lake up ahead, she told Theodavian through mindlinking. It is pretty rough to cross, but if we do, we will lose the majority of them. Perhaps all of them, if we are lucky.Her heart thudded in her chest, waiting to hear him in her head. It had been so long since they shared mindlinking abilities. She had trained with the Elite Guards so she was privy to fortifying the strength to speak with Theodavian and the other Guards. She hoped that she hadn't lost that ability.Good, it'll be easier to fight if
The ride to Amethystia would take a few days, but Dante, Seraphina, and his heralds had powered through the first day. Seraphina was currently resting in his or rather now their tent. He had suggested it and she had brightly accepted it. Her surge of joy soothed his nervousness. After their tense morning, he didn't know how she'd react to sharing his tent. Wanting to give her some space to settle in, he took the first watch, gazing up at the night sky filled with stars. It would soon be the Moon Season and he already felt the unease settling around him like a warning before a merciless storm ravaged the world with thunderous malice.It was in his gut, permeating in his instincts. War was once again coming, waiting at the edges of the unknown. Once again, powerless to stop the pending intensify onslaught, but he would stand against the intrusion of darkness as he had done for many seasons. Perhaps he was a fool to take Seraphina as a Mate before the promising devastation, but if it had
“Dante.”A voice called his name. The voice was soothing and familiar.As he opened his eyes, the entire cavern was bathed in a soft glow. The silhouette of Queen Hyacinth forms until all the details of her body are now visible within her aura.“She is a hybrid,” Hyacinth remarked, gazing at the lady next to him. There was a smile upon her face. “Both elf and fae. She has not quite tapped into her elemental powers yet.”Dante nodded. “She just found out that she is fae by Lady Crystobelle prior to our departure from The Great Willow Tree.”“I sense a great strength and capability within her,” she told him proudly with a nod of her head. “You have chosen well, Dante. She is the next Queen of the Fae.”His eyes widened at that. Did the Queen of the Fae just tell him that his mate was the next Queen of the Fae? Had he just misheard her? “I do not understand.”“I trusted you since you have a heart of gold and you have much wisdom from all the seasons you have lived and will continue to li
Layla Kilburn had no problem showing Theo her interest in him. She made no secret about it, holding his gaze, engaging in conversation, touching him, and warming to his presence. She was like all the other ladies who weren't afraid to show their affection towards him. While Caly still refused to reveal her secrets much less allow him near her, he would gladly welcome Layla's advances especially when they resulted in Caly's glares tossed their way like well aimed daggers.It showed him that she wasn't immune to him. If jealousy brought out that proof of her feelings towards him, he'd use it to his disposal. He wasn't a womanizer like Aiden by all means, but he did pay attention to the elvish lord's daughter when she eagerly sought him out. Maybe, he shouldn't indulge if he had no intention of giving into her charms, but when the fire caught in Caly's eyes like it did now, it was worth it to him even if he felt the guilt seep in when he noticed Layla's hopeful expression."How do you li
When Theo watched Calyx disappear into the keep, he continued to stare at the spot she vanished from eyesight. Frustration boiled to the surface as he shook his head at what just took place. His body strung up like a taut string a bow drawn by a readied arrow. He wasn't going to allow her to run away like she had last time... not that she could anyway. To his grim satisfaction, fate and destiny forced her to stay in place and he'd milk that for all it was worth.His eyes found his men in the crowd, but he only lingered upon Amos and Aiden, who understood they would be the only ones to follow. His eyes swept around until he found Aaron standing with the elves at the tower upon the wall. His eyes narrowed, zeroing in on the elf and Aaron sighed. He watched the elf whisper something to his comrads before he tipped his head to indicate down the steps. The redheaded elf walked down the steps and Theo followed him, knowing Amos and Aiden would be hot on his heels.Aaron led them into the vi
Without one more word between them, she watched as Dante continued to look into her eyes before he finally leaned down and captured her mouth again, but this time, it was slow and meandering. Heat between them had dimmed to sizzling during their conversation, but she could feel the warmth of something else -- less desperate, less needy.The desire for him had not dampened, but there was not this need anymore to rush and to take from each other out of fear that these fires would be forever stamped out.Her heartbeat thudded in her chest as his hands once again ventured over her body, caressing her as if he was honey. The pace was maddening but thrilling. Each spike of heightened pleasure stoked the logs, building up the fire between them again. When her hands bravely traveled his arms and chest, she became breathless at the hardness of muscle. She wanted to touch his skin, feel his heartbeat against the bare skin of his chest. Her hands slipped underneath his tunic and her fingers graz
