Lisha POV Damian throws me over his shoulder; my voice is breathless when I ask. “What the fuck do you think you are doing, Damian?” “In ten seconds, Lisha, your week is up, your all mine.” My toes curl as my heat floods my core. When he passes Theo, he says, “Look after everything for a couple of days.” Theo laughs, “Days are you sure you have it in you.” Damian growls as he slaps my ass; we have reached his chambers in less than a minute. He places me on the floor, a predatory smile on his face as he says, “Why don't you have a shower, Lisha? It might calm your nerves.” His eyes lock with mine as I smile at him, peeling my clothes off and dropping them at his feet. “Why don't you join me, Damian? Your heart is beating so fast.” A soft growl rumbles through his chest as he turns me around, pushing me toward the bathroom. His skin connecting with mine takes my breath away; I lean against his hard chest as he reaches across me to turn the water on. I can feel his length pr
Lisha POV I roll over in the bed reaching for Damian; his side of the bed is cold and empty; he has been gone for a while. I stretch my muscles and groan. I am tender in places that I didn't think could get sore. A flush runs up my face as I think about the shit Damian and I got up to. My core starts to heat up just thinking about him; his voice enters my mind. “Good morning, my love. You're finally awake.” I sigh, “Come back to bed, Damian. It is lonely up here without you.” He groans through the link, “Sorry, my love, I have work to do, and Lilly is waiting for you to resume training.” “Fine, I will get up, but you owe me, Damian.” He laughs; his sensual voice makes my insides clench as he growls softly through the link, “I will make it up to you tonight.” Lilly is waiting by the door when I open it, “You had ten minutes Lisha then I was coming in to drag your ass out of bed.” I chuckle, “It's not my fault your king wore me out.” She shudders and snorts in disgust, “I
Lisha POV Damian runs his hand down my back; I turn to face him. It is late, and we are in bed; this is my favorite time of day. The castle is quiet, and everyone except the guards have retired for the night. He pulls me closer so there isn't an inch between our bodies. “How is your training with Lilly going, my love? I chuckle as I answer him, “You know how it's going, Damian; Lilly reports to you every afternoon.” He kisses my forehead and moves back so I can see his face; his brown eyes darken with emotion as he says, “I need you to stay close to her for the next couple of weeks, my love.” I sit up; a chill runs down my spine, “Why, Damian, what is going on?” He growls, pulling me back down to lay beside him, wrapping his muscular arms around me so I can't move. “There has been unrest in the Vampire realm; I have called the werewolf packs back here to gather any information they may have. It will be safer for them to be inside my borders.” My heart pounds; Xavier and Sk
Lisha POV When the door opened, I was expecting Damian; he hadn't returned to our bedroom last night. Lilly walks in first, followed by Sharna and a heavily pregnant Jasmine. I frown before asking, “What are you all doing here?” Lilly answers for the three of them. “Sharna wants to help, and Jasmine is the only one who can gain us entry into our parent's cabin.” “Does Damian know you are here, Lilly?” “Yes, Lisha, and before you ask, he slept in his office last night.” I raise one eyebrow and ask. “By himself.” Lilly laughs as she says, “Yes, Lisha, there was no one with him.” Relief floods me; I had horrible visions of Damian wrapped in another woman's embrace all night. I hiss, narrowing my eyes at Sharna, “What do you want?” She looks at Lilly before turning back to me. ”You saved my life by not letting Lilly report my attack against you to Damian.” “So What” “Because I owe you a debt, I pledge my loyalty to you.” I smirk at Lilly and wink; now I have two warrior
Lilly POV I should have known Lisha wouldn't just take the daggers and not ask questions; it's not in her nature. “I don't know how they were forged; all I know is they are hundreds of years old.” Lisha rolls her eyes, “Not good enough, Lilly; keep talking.” I huff at her; she’s a pain in my ass. “When Jasmine and I were little, our mother didn't tell us much about our past. I know our family has had the daggers in their possession for generations.” I pause; Lisha waves her hands irritably for me to continue, “An agreement was made between the witches and werewolves that the daggers would stay in this realm. When my mother died, it fell to Jasmine to keep them safe. When Jasmine dies, they will be passed onto her children and so and so on.” Lisha shrugs in puzzlement, “Then why give them to me?” I don't know whether to tell her or not; Jasmine made me promise I wouldn't. I know Lisha doesn't believe me when I say, “I don't know; Jasmine didn't go into details, Lisha.”
Lisha POV It's been a week since I last saw Damian; he mind links me every morning to say hello and then again at night to say good night. I am getting angrier as each day goes by. The only good thing about staying at the cabin is that I get to venture outside, with his stipulation that I must remain within the wards Jasmine has placed around the clearing. Jasmine has been like a bear with a sore tooth; her mood swings drive us insane. Out of the corner of my eye, I catch Lilly and Jasmine whispering as they steal glances at me under hooded eyes. Jasmine’s face flushes with anger before she storms toward me and says, “Does he know Lisha?” I roll my eyes at her and ask myself, what the fuck is she on about now? “Does who know what, Jasmine?” Jasmine growls at me, “Does Damian know?” If Jasmine weren't heavily pregnant, I would smash her in the face; everything about her manner is threatening toward me. I go to walk away from her when her following words stop me midstride. “
Allana POV I should have spoken to Cassandra before now. I hide in the tunnel that leads to Cassandra's chambers; once Gabriel leaves the room, I pull the tapestry aside and step into the room. I roll my eyes when I see Cassandra tangled in the bed sheets. She opens her eyes when she senses my presence and hisses, “About time you got here, Allana; it's been months.” I snarl, “It takes time to bring a realm back from the brink of chaos, Cassandra.” Cassandra climbs out of her bed and slips a robe around her shoulders before saying, “You do know Lisha is alive, don't you?” I smirk and ask, “And whose fault is that?” Cassandra's lips curl in disgust as she says, “Yours, Allana, you organized her escape from my realm.” “I had no choice Cassandra; I have been acting as the devoted grandmother for the last nineteen years; Zane and Mathew were getting suspicious and kept asking why I hadn't teleported in here and brought her home.” She shrugs as she says, “It doesn't matt
Tyler POVI don't remember my life before I woke up on the castle grounds. As soon as I opened my eyes, all my mind could register was the excruciating pain that ran through my body; it felt like I was being ripped apart. There wasn't an inch of my body that wasn't writhing in agony. I couldn't breathe; blood was flooding my lungs; I remember screaming when the wolves picked me up and carried me to what is now my chambers. I passed out again, only to be jerked back to consciousness by Damian when he pulled the arrow from my chest. When I finally regained full consciousness, I asked what had happened, and they told me I had been shot in the chest with a silver arrow, I nearly died, and it took me months to recover from my injuries. The wolves that found me also said the village I lived in had been attacked, and everyone there had died; no one was left.Jasmine was one of the first wolves I saw when I opened my eyes. She has short brown hair and large green eyes; Jasmine is tall and
