McKenna pov 16 years later I looked in the mirror and can't believe I still look the same, much younger than the 48 years I once had been. My eyes were still a light golden color and stunning. Changing to a hybrid had done wonders in subtracting my aging. I grinned at Nyx, he was upset that he found an actual gray silver strand of hair. I rolled my eyes at the vain man. "It's only one tiny hair, love," I teased him and he frowned like it was a death sentence."Keran has more gray than you and you are older, that should make you happy," I grin and kiss his lips. He grumbled and shrugged. I decided to go to the unseelie court to visit Keran since Nyx has been acting oddly since his gray hair incident. I appeared before the king."Can we talk about something?" I ask him with a smile. He nods and takes me to his study. He sat behind his black desk and looked at me."Nyx found a gray silver hair, one mind you and is acting super weird about it," I mumbled, looking at Keran's many gray ha
McKenna pov I woke up feeling dreadful, my heart was hurting, I didn't want my elf to die. I rolled over and looked at the sexy man. His eyes were closed and he was breathing calmly in his sleep. I pressed my hand against his cheek and pushed some of my healing energy into him. His eyes open and he grins at me."I'm not dying yet, silly woman," he chuckles and rolls over to me. "I'm scared Nyx, I don't want to lose you," I mumble, getting teary-eyed. "I'll be okay, love, my grandfather can fix me," he grins and kisses my forehead."What if he won't though," I mumble softly. Nyx creases his brow and frowns."Then we will live happily until my time has expired," he sighs and rubs his eyes. A tear fell down my cheek and I wiped it away."We will succeed, I need to stay positive," I chuckled nervously."Let's get ready and I'll take us there," Nyx sighs and heads to the shower. I joined him and we both got washed and dressed. I put the protective spell over myself and stepped into Nyx'
Ryker, with silver eyes glowing, stands with his father Nyx and waves his hand copying his dad's hand movements. He's gritting his teeth and getting more frustrated with his magic. "I've been doing this for 24 years dad," he mumbles and whines, irritated. He just wanted to spend time with his best friend Quinn and get done with training."You're going to be the next generation of guardian Ryker and must learn the proper way of using your magic, it's just not for getting into a female's pants," Nys growls. Ryker smirks, recalling sinking his fangs in Quinn the night before, Quinn definitely wasn't female. Nyx eyes his son and can see he's distracted and throws a golden ball of energy toward his chest, it was close and Ryker cursed. "What the fuck dad," he growls and whips a golden strand at his dad. Nyx twirled out of its way and it missed him."Very good son," Nyx chuckles and pauses seeing his wife McKenna coming to watch. Her belly swollen with their second child, she grins and us
Ryker pov The sun was shining brightly on me and I opened my silver eyes, the sun's rays reflected off of them. I grin and see Quinn already up and gone. I ran a hand through my hair and went in search of the bathroom in the large room. Finding it, I proceeded to shower and dress myself in faded blue jeans and a t-shirt. I thought about what happened yesterday with Quinn and grinned. I loved my friend but wasn't certain if it was something to pursue. I really enjoyed women too. Grabbing a blood bag from the mini fridge I sat down on a couch and drank. Quinn opened the door and came into the room walking strangely and I cocked my brow at him. Quinn shakes his head grinning."Beowulf is a topper and very well endowed," he growls sitting next to me. "Need some ice?" I laugh. Quinn shook his head and leaned back."I'm seeing him again later you should come too," Quinn grins excitedly. "Are you going all male now?" Ryker questions with a smile. Quinn grins and shrugs."It's different b
Ryker pov Derek's wedding is planned for today and Quinn and I were supposed to be heading home together afterward. I feel bad having him having to explain the situation but he's the one that had me come with him. Beowulf's room is ice cold and lucky for me he likes to snuggle so I slept well surrounded by his warmth, his body like a furnace. I opened my eyes and glanced at the huge man laying naked near me. I noticed he's got a huge tattoo that runs down his back, surprised I hadn't noticed it when we were intimate. I grin and crawl out of the huge bed and head to the bathroom to shower. I'm surprised I'm not sore anywhere on my slim muscular body. I may look like my father but my build comes from my mother. I rinse my hair and towel dry. I simply waved my hand to dry and style my hair, the same with dressing myself. I decided on a gray Armani suit, it enhanced my eye color. I grin at my reflection and head back into the room. Beowulf is up and drinking blood, sitting nude in a larg
Nyx pov When Quinn told us Ryker had found his mate we were thrilled. Quinn told his dad everything else and Keran of course told us. We knew Beowulf and had met him in the past. What neither of us knew was that Ryker was involved intimately with males, Quinn had admitted to being in love with Ryker as well. Too much craziness bombarding us all at once. I quickly appeared at Alarik's home after calling him about his and my son's relationship and wandered through the rooms of his castle to find my child snuggled against the huge man with a smile on his face. I actually grinned at the pair, I could see their souls meshing, they were true mates. I chuckled softly and produced a pen and paper and wrote him a note.Dear son,Congratulations on finding your true mate, please know we are very happy for you and Beowulf. Please bring him to the house for a visit, you both can stay in your room.Love, DadP.S. you forgot to use wards "wink"I chuckle and set it next to his pillow. I disappeare
Ryker pov I appeared in Quinn's bedroom and he was not where he was, I spread my magic to find him he was in his bathroom. I rushed into the room and my mouth dropped. Quinn's in his bathtub with slit wrists, bleeding out. Strands of his long hair cut from his head laid around on the floor. "KERAN," I scream in my panic and rush to pull him from the water. I start licking his wrist injuries closed as Keran comes in. He kneels and presses his hands on his son."He's lost too much blood, I cannot heal him " he cries at me. I looked at his dad and ripped my wrist open with my fangs and pressed it onto Quinn's mouth. Tilted his head back as my blood poured down his throat."Will it work?" Keran asked me softly and I shrugged my eyes full of tears. I closed my wound and lifted Quinn to me, and transported us to his bed. I laid his head on my lap and brushed my fingers through his shorn hair. Keran walked toward us with a slight grin. "Your auras are meshing Ryker. I looked up at him sh
Quinn pov Ryker passed out, I lifted him and appeared in our bedroom. I laid him in bed and undressed him, wishing I could wave them away like him. I got him down to his boxers and covered him with the blanket. I smiled down at my pretty friend and kissed his forehead. I figured I'd clear my stuff myself before he woke. There was a loud pounding on the front door and I scowled not wanting Ryker to be disturbed. I open it and Beowulf sucker punches me and I'm knocked out cold.Ryker povI'm awakened with lips pressed forcefully against my own. I growl low and can't move, my extremities have been tied to my bed. I opened my eyes to Beowulf grinning down at me."You can't use your magic, fairy," he growls and licks my cheek. I cock my brow and twist magical golden binds around him as I remove my tied hands and legs."You're a fucking idiot, I'm more powerful than both my parents," I growl at the stupid fucker."Heard you knocked up your cousin sick fuck," I snapped. I grabbed his jaw an
