Synopsis

Saraid is your average witch hidden in a small town in Alabama. A blind date set up by her best friend and faerie, Wendy sends Saraid's ife spiraling out of control as the evening ends with her magically bound to Liam Maddox, a man with a secret all his own. Liam Maddox, born and raised in Ireland used to be one of the highest-ranking warriors of the Guardians of the Celtic Coven. An unforeseen attack left him cast out of the ranks for what the witches he protected called impure blood. Hired in secret to locate the true heir to the throne of the Celtic coven, Liam moves to the states where he meets Saraid. The one whom he has been tasked to find. A simple date flips their entire world on its axis as the two are magically bound together, leaving them sporting strange and unusual powers. When the truth is revealed Saraid finds herself traveling to Ireland to protect the lives of her closest friends and the man she unwillingly fell in love with, but when she is faced with the choice of her magic or love, will she choose to surrender her powers for the people she loves or is she strong enough to have both?

Chapter 1

Prologue

"What are you doing up in the middle of the night? Have you lost your mind?"

Mom opened the master bedroom door and glared at me. The hallway sconces were dim, but not dim enough to hide the disgust in her eyes.

I stood less than six feet away. At my feet lay the shattered remains of a drinking glass.

I raised my head. My 103-degree fever blurred the edges of everything around me, yet her expression was perfectly clear. Suspicion. Annoyance. The resentment of someone whose sleep had been interrupted.

"It slipped," I said quietly, crouching to pick up the pieces.

Mom sighed and looked down at me. "You're always so careless. Your brother has a piano competition tomorrow. If you wake him up, just wait until your father gets hold of you."

Dad's irritated voice came from the bedroom. "Forget it. Tell him to clean up and get back to his room. I'm tired of looking at him."

Mom folded her arms. "You heard him. Clean it up."

She never asked why my face was burning red. Or why my legs were shaking so hard I could barely squat.

I said nothing and closed my hand around the last shard of glass. Its sharp edge cut my index finger. Blood welled up and splashed onto the wool carpet, blooming into a small dark-red stain.

My leukemia was advanced. My blood could barely clot anymore, and within moments, it covered my palm.

Mom finally noticed.

Not because she was worried about me. She gasped at the carpet.

"Miles, did you do that on purpose? This is Nolan's favorite rug. Are you trying to tell us how unhappy you are with this family?"

I stared at the blood dripping from my fingertip. A chill settled so deep inside me that even breathing hurt.

Nineteen years.

Ever since I was six, when they'd told me I wasn't their biological child, I'd lived in this house like a thief who had to be careful not to take too much. I didn't dare ask for new clothes or spending money. I barely dared admit when I was sick.

I was terrified they'd throw me away.

Now I knew the truth. I wasn't a thief at all. I was their own son, and my parents had deliberately stripped me of every right to belong.

"I'm sorry."

I pulled my hand back and pressed my bleeding fingertip tightly into my palm.

Prologue
The water in the sink had turned a disgusting shade of brown with a thick layer of grease floating at the top."I can't wash the cups in this mess. I need to change the water." I said to myself.I need to get these done before Ms. Penny gets here. She hates it when the house isn't immaculate when she comes home from wherever it is she goes to everyday. She doesn't work so I assume she spends her days at the corner bar.When the water finished draining, I rinsed it and began to run the water for a fresh sink full of the sudsy water. Out of all the possible chores in the world I hated dishes the most. Penny knew that too, that's why she made it my personal chore every day. The woman hates me, and I don't know why. I haven't done anything to justify the constant beatings and torture that I receive daily.I tried to tell the school in hopes that someone would take me from her home but instead when they showed up, they interviewed her and said the case was unf

Chapter One
I stepped out of the heat and into the dizzying array of lights of the night club. The bass emanating from the speakers hit me in the chest as I scanned the room looking for my best friend Wendy. I walked further into the crowd hoping to catch a glimpse of her golden hair. A simple locator spell could solve my dilemma, but I tried to refrain from doing magic in public. The good people of Alabama are friendly enough, but they can be closed minded when it comes to the unknown.I am a witch. Not a particularly good one but I can manage the basics. I would probably be better at it if I knew anyone like me. Wendy knows my secret and she has a secret of her own. She's a faerie. Yes, a faerie. Wings and all. Of course, you will never see her wings unless she wants you too. Exposing your wings to any being is a very intimate and private affair for the Fae community. You had to have gained the complete trust and love of a faerie to see their true form. I was the only one who had seen Wendy exp

Chapter Two
I could hear Liam getting directions from Wendy. They sounded so far away like a faint echo, but I could see them standing no further than two feet from me. I could argue that I didn't need a designated driver, but I was not completely convinced of that myself. Liam helped me up from the wall that I was slumped against. With my arm over his shoulder and his arm stretched across my back, he walked me out of the club and to my car.I fumbled in my purse for the keys and pressed the button to unlock the doors. With his empty arm he opened the door and placed me in the passenger seat as if I were a piece of glass that could break with the slightest movement. Once he had my seat belt secured, I felt him kiss my forehead and then he quickly shut the door. Such an odd and intimate gesture for someone who had just met me.I watched him cross to the driver side of the car and slide the seat back as far as it could go so, he could get behind the wheel. With the turn of the key the engin

Chapter Three
The sunlight creeping through the window was excruciating even through closed eyes. Images from the previous night's events danced through my mind like a film and I could feel a wide grin forming across my face. I tried to stretch but something was holding me down. I couldn't move.I slammed my eyes open, squinting through the shock the sun gave my eyes. I lay there naked and chained to a bed that was not my own in a room that I had never seen before. Where the hell am I? How in the hell did I get here?A strong coppery scent overwhelmed me. My throat was on fire. I looked down at my naked body which appeared to be covered in a sticky, crimson fluid. The burning in my throat grew stronger and the pit of my stomach seemed to boil with hunger.I screamed as a sharp pain cut through my gums. It felt like I was having a tooth extracted without anesthesia. When the pain ebbed to nothing more than a dull ache, I used my tongue to examine where the pain had started. I nicked

Chapter Four
I woke to find Liam propped up on one arm staring down at me. I yawned as my body violently stretched of its own accord."See anything fascinating while I slept?"He laughed and showed me the cellphone in his hand. "If you only knew."I thought it was sweet that he wanted to take pictures of me, but I would prefer it to be while I'm awake and not drooling in my sleep. He rolled on to his back and made room for me to snuggle in under his arm, so he could show me the pictures he had taken. There was a total of two pictures. The first on the screen showed me asleep but I could barely recognize myself.The sun had fell around me in the picture as I had slept. It illuminated my skin which normally looked just pale white but, in this picture, it looked like my skin was glowing with a slight gold undertone. My hair that had fanned out around me appeared fuller with a shimmer to it that looked unnatural but breathtaking.For the first time in my life I felt beautifu

Chapter Five
The front door of the cottage opened, and Wendy appeared in the doorway. Her brows were furrowed as she scanned the entire yard. Chase appeared beside her and with one arm he protectively moved her back, so she stood behind him."What's wrong with them?""You may want to uncloak us before Chase goes into full defensive mode.""Shit, I forgot!"I called my power back into myself and watched as the realization dawned on Chase's face."Sorry Chase. I forgot that I cloaked us."I heard Wendy's sigh of relief before she reappeared. "You scared the crap out of me guys. I could feel your magic, but I couldn't see you."I walked over to her and hugged her tight. "I didn't mean to scare you Wendy. My car was here so Liam flew us here. I had to cloak us, so people wouldn't see us."She gently squeezed me back and released me. Suddenly, there were orbs dancing in my vision and the woods started to spin. I closed my eyes to stop the dizzin

Chapter Six
The drive to Montgomery proved to be a long one as the three of us rode in awkward silence. I wore my darkest aviators to hide the puffiness around my eyes. I couldn't think about it. I couldn't think about him, or the tears would come again.I scrutinized the small airports lack of security as I walked Wendy and Chase through one metal detector, to the scanner, and then to their terminal. Seated in one of the many chairs that lined the windows sat Jaxon.Jaxon Claiborne was a tall man of slim build and every inch of his body, spare his face, was covered in black tribal tattoos. He was a handsome man if that's what you could call him. Being a full vampire, he could rip you apart in the blink of an eye. He made a formidable opponent to those who dared oppose him and I was grateful to be on his good side. I've known him long enough that I wasn't afraid to throw lip at him when he stepped out of line. He had pale skin, dark mahogany brown hair, and eyes so dark that they almo

Chapter Seven
The sound of ringing woke me from my sleep. I was up late with Liam watching the cameras that were recording my property. I didn't remember falling asleep or even making it to the room. Liam must have carried me up here and plugged my phone into the charger he loaned me. I grabbed the phone from where it rested on the nightstand beside the bed and saw that it was Jaxon. I hit the button to accept the call."Good morning, you sexy little witch.""Isn't it like three in the evening there?""Ah yes, but it is about nine o'clock at home."I rolled my eyes into the back of my head. He was entirely too chipper for my taste right now. "It's still too early for me for your antics. I had a long night. Someone tried to follow me from the airport yesterday."The line went silent for a few seconds before he asked, "What happened?"I first yawned and then answered, "I lost him and then Liam cut him off, so I could get away."I heard a few faint swear words befo

Chapter Eight
Liam made quick work of disposing the bodies while I used magic to rid the house of the evidence. Unfortunately, magic wouldn't replace his front door or broken furniture but if we ever had to deal with law enforcement there would be no DNA evidence to find.With a little research I was able to cast a protection spell around the house of my own design. Since there was no door the spell, I cast would cause anyone who entered to go blind until I restored their vision."Maybe I should do the windows as well. Just to be on the safe side," I suggested to Liam."I think that would be wise."I needed to get to work on casting the remainder of the spells. For it to work I had to cast it on every individual window and this mansion of a house had a lot of windows. About 124 windows to be exact."It took a lot of magic to put up all of the wards. Are you feeling dizzy or anything?""No, I feel pretty good actually."I felt stronger than ever since the big fig

Chapter Nine
After deliberating with Liam about whether we should make our coupling known to Ava we came to the decision that we would not offer the news but if she should ask then we would address it. Who I was in a relationship with was none of her business in my opinion because their rules in Ireland did not apply to us here. I'm not a part of their coven.As we walked back down the stairs, they were still waiting for us at the entry way. Jax wore a look of pride. Like he was happy to see me shun Ava. Wendy looked worried and Chase just stood there, leaning against the wall. Ava stood beside Wendy and watched as we came to stand in front of them."Chase, can you show everyone to the dining room? We will be more comfortable there." Liam asked.Chase just nodded his head in response. He started to lead the group toward the hall to the right of the entryway."It's the other way Chase." I hollered out."Oh, that's right. Sorry. It's hard to keep up with houses of this siz
