Lisha POV I am sure Jasmine is more cat than a wolf; she hasn't stopped creeping around the room all morning. Her short dark hair is cut in a pixie style, accentuating her large green eyes-long black eyelashes and olive skin. Jasmine is a little taller than me; she is beautiful. It is a shame she is such a bitch. Leaning my back against the bedhead, I have my legs straight and crossed at my ankles; I wiggle my toes and ask, “So, Jassie, what are we doing today?” She spins around, growling as she says, “I told you not to call me that, Lisha.” I wiggle my eyebrows at her and smirk, “And I told you I don't give a fuck, Jassie.” Jasmine hasn't managed to take all my Fae senses away as she thought; I can hear her heart rate pick up as her anger rises. “Do you have a death wish, Lisha?” I snort, “If you mutts wanted me dead, you would have killed me by now.” Her eyes glaze over for a couple of minutes before she looks down at me and sneers, “Get up the King wishes to speak to y
Lisha POV The four walls are starting to close in on me; it has been six months since I discovered Tyler was alive. The door creaks as it opens; taking no notice of who it is, I watch the flames flickering in the fire. Damian surprises me as he lowers his large frame into the armchair beside me. His husky voice vibrates against the silence of my room. “Did you know you twirl your hair around your fingers when you're deep in thought, Lisha?” Dropping my hand into my lap, I ignore him. He leans toward me as he whispers, “You have been quiet, Lisha. Is it because you know I speak the truth about Tyler?” I hiss, “What the fuck do you want, Damian?” Everything Damian has said is true. Tyler and I have crossed paths repeatably in the palace. There has been no recognition in his eyes where I am concerned. Damian growls, “What makes you think you can get away with speaking to me like that, Lisha?” I look at Damian briefly for the first time since he entered my room and say, “You wa
Lisha POV They say history repeats itself, and I am starting to believe it. I groaned and picked myself back off the ground; this is not Skyla I am training with; my opponent is not my friend. Sharna is a quick-tempered nasty bitch; that's one of the reasons I chose her as my sparring partner. Sharna smirks at me as she sneers, “Why don't you give up, Fae? I would hate for you to break a nail.” I snort, “If I wanted your opinion Sharna, I would flush the toilet.” A few wolves watch us snickering; she shakes her head before lunging at me. Her fist connects with the side of my head, my knees buckle, and I am back on my ass on the ground. “Had enough yet, Lisha?” “Nope, come at me again.” This time, she rolls her eyes; I turn when she throws a punch, hitting her in the temple with my elbow. She staggers but doesn't go down, growling; she comes at me, holding nothing back. Knocking me to the ground, she punches me repeatably in the face. Everyone stops when a growl resonates throug
Damian POV The day Allana brought Lisha to see me, I was attracted to her immediately but never intended to claim her as my mate. When Andras informed me that he and the Seelie would attack her village, I couldn't stop myself from taking my wolves and trying to protect her. I knew without a doubt that if my wolves and I didn't attend, our realm would be next, so I had no choice but to agree with the Seelies and the Vampires. When the silver arrow pierced Tyler’s chest and Lisha, and their bond severed, I told myself that fate had intervened and there was no way I was letting her go. Jasmine bound Lisha’s magic on my orders, and it's a decision that I stand by; if I didn't do it, Lisha would have found a way to leave. Tyler and Jasmine being mates and expecting their first pup helped Lisha move on; Tyler has no recollection of his feelings and time with Lisha; if he did have, I would not hesitate to kill him. My warrior's eyes follow Lisha and Lilly as they walk away from the arena;
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
