Lacey held the key out in front of her. "Celia found it underneath Xenia's pillow. She made a weird look and put it in her pocket when she thought no one was looking. I thought the whole thing was weird, so I stole it from her."

Frieda looked aghast. "A key, Lacey? Really? Do you know how many doors this place has?"

"I do," Lacey said defensively, putting the key back into her pocket, "but how many use actual keys? And besides, look at it." The jagged key had a carved-out seal on one end with a jewel in the middle. "Maybe it's a key to the dungeon's cells or something important. It looks all fancy."

"Well, how are we gonna test it," Frieda asked. "Celia is the one that delivers the food down there. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I want to go down there. It's so…dark."

"Just come on," Lacey said, pulling Frieda out of the room. "We should go now while everyone else is getting ready for tonight's bonfire. This is the last night of the Blue Moon."

  • Fearless Human Mate   Hopeless Jane

    Jane's hands shook as she carefully skimmed to the chocolate bar's top. She ignored the sweat and clumps of wet flour caked on her face. She wanted to imitate how Xenia made the swirly chocolates for the banoffee pie. So far, in the last ten minutes, she has gone through two bars of chocolate and made four perfect toppings. "I have no idea how you can do this with such ease, Xenia." After ten more minutes, Jane gave up and decided to go with what she had. She had been slaving all day in the kitchen and between her other duties to make this, and she prayed it worked. "If there's one way to get back in your good graces, it will be with this pie," Jane muttered as she placed the last chocolate curl on top of the pie. "Done. This should be perfect." Jane stepped back to admire her work. She planned to put it up for when Xenia woke up, but no one knew when. The fact that she growled earlier indicated it might be any day now. "Hopefully, it's soon," she muttered. "I would hate for thi

  • Fearless Human Mate   The Dungeon Heist

    Lacey panicked only a little before seeing it was Frieda, who didn't look so happy. Lacey took in a shaky breath, but Frieda placed a finger over her lips before she could speak. Frieda looked down at the basket, searching for something, and her eyes lit up when she found it. "What's taking so long?" the guard asked. His voice came out in short pants. "Oh, don't worry. I found exactly what you need." Frieda took the cast iron out of the basket and walked back around the corner. Lacey was stuck in her stupor for a moment before she started to freak out again. She heard the sound of the cast iron hitting flesh, and the guard's scream came immediately after. She's going to get us in trouble. Lacey thought before the guard's scream turned into a soft whimpering. What the hell? Against her better judgment, Lacey peeked around the corner and covered the gasp from her mouth with her hand. The guard was naked from the waist down in a missionary position with his ass in the air. Fr

  • Fearless Human Mate   Luna

    "Wake Up!" The loud demand rang inside Xenia's head and sent a jolt to her heart. She felt flustered, confused, and oddly aroused at the same time. How could his voice do this? Her eyes shot open as she quickly sat up in bed. It took a minute before she realized where she was. Everything felt distanced, like the opposite of an out-of-body experience. She was looking at everything through someone else's eyes. "What the hell is going on?" Then something else hit her. A familiar scent. She followed the scent to the pillows and inhaled the faint perfumes her mother usually wears before realizing what she was doing. Then she heard a voice. It sounded far away, but she could feel her lips moving. Everything confused her now. A hand touched her head, and she turned, seeing no one beside her. It was her hand, but it felt like a stranger. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!" "I am trying to tell you, but you must relax, human. Your emotions are too strong." Again, it was her voice, bu

  • Fearless Human Mate   Taste of Control

    Nova could feel Xenia pushing through, which was good for her but not for the girl she was stalking towards. Nova could feel her claws elongating and another growl rumbling from her chest. She could hear the rapid beating of Jane's heart, which excited her. Xenia wanted Jane to be scared. Her primal side was itching to come out and make the kill. Before she got close, Jane held out the plate in her hands, and Nova stopped only for a moment to look at it. "I…I…made this for you," Jane squeaked. Nova grabbed the plate, completely taken off guard. Banoffee Pie. The memory of Xenia making this pie for them flashed in her mind. It was a rare occasion where Xenia was happy, if only for that moment. "I don't know what I did, but I'm sorry," Jane cried, falling to the floor. "Please forgive me, Luna." Xenia's anger pushed through enough for Nova to clutch the plate so tight it cracked in her hand. "You don't know what you did?" Nova said each word as if it hurt coming out of her mo

  • Fearless Human Mate   Desire

    Xenia took in labored breaths, trying to figure out what was wrong. Though she did well, Nova did just eat her body weight in food. Still, she was hungry in the sense that she needed something else. The heat tingled across her skin, arms, legs, and right between her thighs. She let out an involuntary moan. "I'm…hot," Xenia growled at no one in particular. "You can say that again, hon." "Frieda! This is not the time," Lacey reprimanded her. "You are acclimating faster than I expected," Nova said. "If I had known, I would have warned you earlier." "Warn me about what," Xenia asked out loud. The girls looked at her. "Are you talking to us," Lacey asked. "You have to get used to talking to me like this," Nova said. "Or people will start to think you are crazy." "I think it's too late for that," Xenia said, trying to make light of the situation. "Well, I have so much to tell you," Lacey said, cautiously walking around Xenia. "But I want to make sure you're not going to a

  • Fearless Human Mate   Run

    Mason could barely catch his breath. When he felt Xenia was awake, he left his scouts in the woods without a second thought. She occupied his mind, and he couldn't think of anything other than getting to his mate. At that moment, she was in front of him, in his arms, and she felt so good. As the shock of her fighting slowly dissipated, Mason took in her appearance. She looked far better than he could have imagined. Her skin was flawless, her hair framed her face perfectly, and her eyes burned right down to his core. The moment he picked her up, the sparks from their bond spread through him like an unforgiving wildfire. He closed his eyes momentarily to take it in before noticing the same reaction from her. His admiration turned into desire as he felt Rodin begging to be released. Begging to claim her his way. Mason held Rodin back as he lifted Xenia from the ground. Even in pain, she was beautiful, and he was so transfixed he felt words come out of his mouth and didn't register th

  • Fearless Human Mate   Won't Let Go

    Every part of Xenia wanted to go back to him. Telling her this was how it should be, but the moment he said those words, with a voice that was no longer human, a fire lit under her feet. Rodin. She cursed herself when she moved toward the woods instead of the packhouse. She knew the doors wouldn’t keep a beast like Rodin away from her. This…this was Rodin’s playground. His fantasy, and she fell right into it. “They are coming for us,” Nova said without hiding her excitement. Those words echoed inside Xenia’s head and through her body, and she could feel Nova wanting to take over. Xenia was initially scared, thinking Nova would run right back to him, but that was not what Nova wanted. Nova wanted the chase just as much as Rodin. She pushed Xenia to sprint through the dark forest. The darkness was thick, but the Blue Moon shone brightly above, and there was a sense of calm humming from it. Xenia thought it must have been her imagination, but she could feel Nova answer it. Xenia st

  • Fearless Human Mate   Making Her Mine

    Mason wanted to take control if Rodin got carried away, but seeing her looking at them stopped him. He expected her to run at the sight of Rodin. Run like she did before, but she didn’t. Instead, Mason felt something he never thought he would from her. Wanting? He knew it could only be from Nova, but still, it felt…good. Like a weight lifting from his chest he didn’t know was there. “Rodin.” The name fell off her lips like a light caress through his fur, and she stood on shaky legs to move closer to him. Xenia’s eyes flashed between brown and blue until Nova took over. Rodin moved closer until her outreached hand touched his head. “I’ve waited so long, mate,” she said as she buried her face in his fur. The feeling of her touching them the way they wanted, without being forced or being pushed away, had some unchecked emotion filling them. Without hesitation, Rodin stepped back, allowing enough room for him to shift back into his human form. Not a moment later, Nova fell into his a

  • Fearless Human Mate   Together We End Her

    Micah barely grunted as the witchfire singed his shoulder, his body shielding Xenia’s. Smoke curled off his skin, but he stayed upright, golden eyes blazing.“Remember! That’s not just Lillian,” he growled. “Melania’s in there.”Laurie’s eyes widened, magic crackling around her fingertips. “That explains the strength. Lillian wasn’t this powerful before.”Cristobal readied his sword, standing at Xenia’s side with a smirk aimed at Micah. “Then let’s put her down before she gets any stronger. You can keep up, wolf-boy?”Micah grinned. “Try not to fall behind, soldier.”Laurie stepped forward. “You two can measure egos later. She’s still attacking Xenia.”Xenia had just rolled behind a boulder, her face pale but determined. She picked up a fallen branch and brandished it like a spear.Laurie’s magic swirled around her like a storm. “We’re gonna need everyone. I’ll try to trap her between veils. If we can weaken Melania’s grip, we might be able to push her back.”The group fanned out, ins

    Across the battlefield, Lacey caught sight of Celia blasting away two warriors before trying to join Lillian.“Celia!” Lacey shouted, grabbing her arm and yanking her back.Celia whirled on her. “What are you doing? Let go of me!”“I should be asking you the same damn thing,” Lacey snapped. “You’re still fighting for her? After everything she’s done?”Celia’s jaw clenched. “You wouldn’t understand.”“She tortured us. She tortured you. She helped turn Jed into a monster! And you still defend her?”“She loves me,” Celia hissed, voice trembling with fury. “You don’t know what it’s like–to be chosen. To be seen. You wouldn’t understand because you don’t have a mate. You’ve never had one.”Lacey flinched–but only for a moment. “You’re right,” she said coldly. “I don’t have a mate. But at least I’m not weak enough to sell my soul for one.”Celia’s magic surged at those words. “Say that again.”Lacey’s eyes gleamed gold. “You heard me.”With a furious scream, Celia raised her hands, greenish

  • Fearless Human Mate   He Chose You

    Melania took on Nova, Roman, and Micah while Mason set his sights on Xenia.With a powerful swipe Melania threw Roman towards Nova, both crashing out of the way as she clashed with Micah.“I never thought in a million years you would want to hurt me like this,” Melania grimaced. “I am your mate, Micah. Me. Not that fragile little human!”Micah’s grip tightened on her wrists, and for a moment, their faces were inches apart as he held her gaze. “You lost me the moment you took away the only family I had left,” he snapped. “You used my grief like a leash. You made yourself a monster.”Melania’s lips trembled, fury twisting her features. “No,” she whispered, shaking her head. “No, no–you still love me. I know you do. I can fix this. I can fix us.”“There’s no us anymore, Melania,” Micah said. “There will never be an us.”The words hit harder than any blow. Melania shrieked–an animal sound, furious and guttural–and her body lit up with a violent surge of dark magic. She slammed both hands

  • Fearless Human Mate   This is Where We Stand

    Xenia blinked, struggling to steady herself as the dream faded, ripped from her mind like torn silk. Her body ached. Every breath felt like she was inhaling smoke. She sat up slowly–and froze.Melania lay sprawled on the ground, her elegant dress torn, blood staining her lip. Her eyes fluttered open, dazed but furious.A sound to her left made Xenia twist around. Mason. Stumbling into the area, just as beaten. His shirt was ripped, and blood dripped from various parts of his body. He spotted Melania on the floor. His expression snapped.“No,” he whispered, then louder, “What did you do?”Xenia barely had time to get to her feet before he lunged at her.“You ruined everything!” Mason bellowed, slamming into her and knocking her back. “She gave you everything! And you spat on it!”Xenia hit the floor hard, the impact stealing the breath from her lungs. Dazed, she barely registered Mason’s shadow looming above her, his fist coming down.But it never landed.A hand caught it mid-swing wit

  • Fearless Human Mate   The Conflict

    Xenia woke up alone. The brothers were nowhere to be seen, so she decided to get ready for another perfect day. She got dressed, fixing her appearance in the mirror. The moment she looked away, the reflection turned to Melania, who smiled before disappearing. Xenia stared at her reflection before leaving.“Good,” Xenia said to herself. “Today’s going to be perfect.”Downstairs the brothers were in the kitchen with Delilah. Micah was unusually focused, slicing and arranging with the precision of a man on a mission. Mason was just as focused, carefully packing fruits and cheeses, and crusty bread into woven baskets. Delilah flitted about the kitchen like a hummingbird, humming a lullaby Xenia swore she hadn’t heard since childhood.They walked to the sea, just the four of them. The cliffs were painted with wildflowers, the ocean stretched endlessly, calm and blue. Xenia leaned into the breeze and tried not to think too hard.But something was wrong.She felt it when she reached for the

  • Fearless Human Mate   Her Lie, Our War

    Melania kept her magic flowing into Xenia, but she felt herself losing strength. Micah stood before them, his presence blazing with power.Melania didn’t flinch. “Keep him away,” she said to Mason. “She’s so close to accepting her new reality. If he interrupts now, she might have the strength to fight back. I need time.”“He won’t understand,” Mason said.“Then make him,” she snapped. “I know you can.”“I won’t say it again,” Micah said, interrupting their conversation. “Get out of my way Mason.”“I can’t let you,” Mason said, his voice shaking with fury. “You took her away from me once. I won’t let it happen again!”Mason snarled, aura flaring to full strength as he launched forward. Micah’s wolf, Roman, collided with Mason in mid-air, the impact sending a shockwave through the spirit realm. Mason crashed to the ground, rolling once before skidding to a stop.“Damn you, Roman,” he spat, rising. “Do you have to interfere. This is between brothers.” Roman stood between him and Mason,

    Xenia stood frozen as Mason held her waist, his touch gentle. This was the kind of moment a girl might fantasize about–the reformed villain pledging himself at her feet. But something about it soured in her gut. The air shimmered, just slightly, like heat rising off pavement. Mason’s skin was warm, too warm, feverish. And his voice… it wasn’t Mason’s. Not really.“I’m nothing without you,” he whispered, face pressed to her abdomen. “You saved me, Xenia. Don’t you remember?”“Mason, I…” Her throat constricted. It was suddenly hard to speak. Hard to think. But she could hear her mother and Micah returning–footsteps, laughter, too far and too close all at once. The sounds blurred, like a warped vinyl record.“I believe you,” she said quickly, trying to get him up but he tightened his arms around her.“You know I can tell when you’re lying,” he said, eyes flicking up to hers. There was a flicker–just for a second–where his eyes changed, glitching like bad film. A blink later and they were

    Blood and ash thickened the air as Alpha Micah and the group made their way through the packhouse and towards the ritual grounds. The howls of distant wolves still echoed, but for now, the area had settled into a tense, almost eerie silence. Laurie floated down from a treeline, black eyes turning back to her usual color, her expression grim. “More guards than we thought,” she whispered. “And that’s just the outer ring. Inside the ritual circle, we’ve the Three Sisters.”Micah’s jaw tightened. “The Three Sisters?”Laurie nodded. “They’re channeling the ritual. It’s working. Xenia’s… already changing.”“What do you mean changing?” Delilah asked, panic rising in her voice.Micah placed a firm but comforting hand on Delilah’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, Miss Delilah. It’s not over yet.” Then, turning back to Laurie, he asked, “Can we get past them?”Laurie nodded. “They’re powerful, but we can get rid of them if we destroy the effigy tethering them here.”A chilling scream cut through the nig

    In the cozy kitchen of her family home, Xenia found herself caught in a comical, slightly awkward situation as she sat down to breakfast. Her mother sat across from her with her chin resting on her clasped fingers. Delilah’s eyes darted between the two brothers she forced Xenia to sit between.“So,” Delilah began, her eyes twinkling with mischief as she sipped her tea. “Since I didn’t get the chance to properly introduce myself to you both because of the… incident in Ornyville…”“We are so sorry about that, Miss Bakken,” Micah interjected. Xenia turned to look at him and he regarded her with a smile before taking her hand and turning back to Delilah. “It’s just been a while since we had a mate and the bond was stronger than we anticipated.”“I don’t know what the big fuss was,” Mason added. Xenia turned to look at him. Her heart started to race as her hand curled into fists.What is this feeling towards him?“We did replace the bar table and compensated the owner,” Mason continued. “T
