While the others are off checking in with other teams, checking on all of our parents and getting a report on the Veil distortion, I get to watch Tresia cook. It wasn’t until she entered the kitchen that I could truly see how happy she is. I’m not sure what’s exactly making her happy, us, the house or a combination of things. Personally, I vote it’s a combination of things. She needs this time of happiness because I’m sure there are rocky times ahead, so we’ll take the good moments when we can.

As a Law Warden I’m trained to read people. I was selected to be a profiler but chose field work instead. I’m not the type to be content sitting behind a desk or in an office looking at reports and pictures. I much rather be out and about seeing things first hand and solving a mystery.

“Tresia, what are you humming?”

“Huh, oh…it’s an old song my mom used to sing to me and Misha to help pass the time.”

Watching her cheeks flush to a rose red makes my heart speed up a bit. I’m hoping she’ll volu

  • Mistress of the Veil   Chapter Fourteen Misha

    Elio woke me up with great news and amazing coffee. I not only get to see my parents again but I get to see Tresia and meet all her mates. I don’t know how my sister’s going to handle the six pack. Thinking about her and her mates hurts me because I should be starting my life with my mate and no one will give me a straight answer.Walking out of my kitchen I set my plate of pancakes down on the table while I slide into my chair. I’m not sure who Elio is talking to but I really need him to explain a few things to me. Taking a bite out of my breakfast, I raise an eyebrow at Elio when he turns around.“What?”“What do you mean, ‘what’? How about filling me in on what the hell is going on. My sister wants to see me and boom, she gets what she wants. She asks to see our parents, boom, she gets what she wants. I ask one question that should be a yes or no answer and I can’t get either out of you.” The look he gives me causes my temper to begin rising to the surface. “I already told you tha

    Jeremy’s brown hair catches my attention as we’re touring the garden and the small plot of forest that we own. I really want to run my fingers through his hair, but his mind is elsewhere. It’s obvious he’s in his element as he’s telling me about all the different plants and the water features. They didn’t miss any detail I had noted in that book. They even got the exact wood I wanted.Once we’re done touring the outside, we walk through the Rustic Spanish Revival double doors. I was not paying too much attention to the style of house when we arrived, but I am now. The house, as well as the mother-in-law suites are designed in a rustic Spanish chalet. All of the buildings are made of white stucco. The main house has the red clay roofing tiles while the other buildings have a more traditional brown clay roofing tile. The contrast is beautiful.Closing the double doors behind me Ryland wraps his arms around my midsection and bends until he’s even with my ear. Kissing my neck and clearing

  • Mistress of the Veil   Chapter Eleven Arlo

    We’ve all focused on five girls for years. We never knew which one exactly would be our mate, but we knew it would be one of them. All five of them had a lot in common. Tresia was the oldest, whether it be by days, weeks or months. She’s also the most intelligent and good gods, am I glad for that. It’s always been my job to observe her and it doesn’t look as though that’ll be stopping any time soon. None of us are in any kind of hurry to push her into things she may not be ready for. It’s one thing to prepare your entire life to mate with one partner. It’s an entirely different story when you all of a sudden have six mates.“You’re telling me everything, am I mean every…thing, I’ve been taught my entire life is based on a pack of lies made up by the Elders to discredit The Veil Goddess and everything to do with the Veil. How the heck has this never come out before? There have been new Elders and all kinds of changes through time. What is this, some kind of conspiracy held together by

  • Mistress of the Veil   Chapter Ten Tresia

    When all the guys walk away to do whatever it is they need to do, I finally take a moment to look around the house I’m in. It’s easy to see that I’m in either a living room or a parlor. There’s a bay window in the center of the wall directly in front of me and the couch I’m sitting on is so comfy I could easily fall asleep on it.There are matching chairs on both sides of the couch. They look big enough to swallow me whole, but then I need to consider the size of my mates… Holy smokes. My mates. I have six mates. I know I had fantasies about having six mates, but it was just that, a fantasy.Redirecting my attention from the chairs, I see beautiful bookshelves full of all kinds of books. Turning to look around the room I see two more bookshelves, a China Cabinet and last but I’m sure not least, a big screen television. The colors they chose for this room are so perfect I don’t think I could have done better… wait. “What in Hadees handbag is going on?” Standing up and spinning around

  • Mistress of the Veil   Chapter Nine Ryland

    “Ryland, you need to start talking to me. Everyone seems to know what’s going on, except me. I mean, I know my brother is gone. We just left my parents in the middle of nowhere and now we’re in the truck, on a trail up a mountain I didn’t know existed.”I hate that she’s been kept in the dark, but to be honest, we all have been, to a point. Her tears are what’s breaking me. So much has happened in a couple of days. Scooting over to sit beside her, I take a deep breath and ready myself for everything I need to tell her.“Tresia, listen. We don’t know everything. I wish we did. It might make whatever’s coming easier to handle. I’ll tell you what we do know, so bare with me.First of all, everything you were taught about the last Veil Mistress is a lie. Well, except the six mates. That part is true. The Elders at the time became threatened by her and her men. The reason she’s only referred to as Mistress is because her name was stricken from all records. Your six’s parents were told her
