I was reading a book of spells, one of the few that Freda had allowed me to take from her library, when I heard a knock on my door.

I stopped, thinking I had imagined it. But the knock came again—soft, as if probing, as if unsure, as if wondering if I was awake.

A smile touched my lips, as I figured it was probably Raul, coming for a nightcap. We hadn't seen each other since the introductory session with a select few of the community.

Closing the book, but making sure to put a bookmark where I had last read, I stood up, removed the robe I wore around my flimsy, see-through nightgown, and started out of the smaller room.

I stopped midway, however, when I realized that if Raul wanted to see me, he would have sent a text to know if I was awake. It was almost midnight. And even if he had wanted to surprise me, his knock… was different.

I frowned, retraced my steps, and picked my robe back up, engulfing myself into it. Raul wasn't at the door.

So who was at my door at this time of night?

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   Dignity

    The first time my phone alarm rang out, I was too weak to even acknowledge it, too weak to even tap the snooze button. My body sank deeper into the warmth of the sheets, my limbs heavy, my mind sluggish, unwilling to yield to the shrill call.The second time, I burrowed deeper into Raul's embrace—Raul, who had sneaked into my room minutes after my family had left. His chest was steady against my back, his arm lazily thrown across me, the faint rise and fall of his breathing a dangerous lullaby that coaxed me to ignore the world outside.The third time, I would have maybe thrown the phone to the farthest corner of the room, but a knock sounded on my door, breaking the consideration to pieces.I was late for my meeting with the Queen.I raised my head, groggy with sleep, and searched with eyes closed, my hand fumbling across the sheets for my phone. When I found it, I lifted it closer to my face, my eyes clearing somewhat, my head becoming still when I noted the time.5:30 a.m.Shit! I

    "You know, Sage, you might just be right." Isla spoke in awe, looking around the Queen's palace as we came down from the car. Her voice carried that blend of mischief and wonder that was uniquely hers. "I might just enjoy being your best friend, sidekick, whatever tag you give me, in this madness of yours."Madness. That was Isla's choice of words, when I gave her a rundown of the story, the sieved-out version where my life had been almost snuffed out by the lycan's kingdom, and the insane urge to retaliate, to get my revenge no matter the odds stacked against me. And when she rubbed her palms together, smiling and relaxing into her seat, I knew I had chosen the right person. Isla Woodson would be my pretend best friend, and maybe an ally when all this was over.My trust wasn't an easy commodity to earn anymore. I didn't even trust my own self."Oh my… is that…" Isla's voice trailed off."Yes, gold," I answered blandly, though I too was surprised by the enhanced glamour of the palac

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   Going Home II

    I was to return to the community as Raul's bride-to-be, the daughter of a royal from a faraway kingdom, whom he had met on one of his travels. Until all purposes were met though, and then my real—yet not true—identity would be revealed to the inhabitants of the community which had once been my home.Of course, a select few knew of my incoming homecoming, my family in the community at that time, for one. I let my tongue run through my teeth. How will they look now? None had come to see me since my time at the Isle of the Chosen. I wasn't sure if it was because of the choice—or if the Queen had made it that way. I had a feeling it was the latter; part of my training on how to learn to stand alone, I guessed.I became aware of Isla's blatant stare."So, you are really some royal… I thought that was a joke, you know. You being engaged to him too."Maybe I should have left her at the institution. But who would make a better sidekick than she—who had streaks of madness I had seen many ti

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   Going Home

    It turned out that the Queen wanted Duke back home too, after six years of exile in the Shadow Wastelands. After reading about the hell that was the Shadow Wastelands, I had thought myself foolish—and the people of the community too—for believing that the Queen would ever send her beloved son there. It was just impossible. This institution right here had been the better option.Duke was now level-headed and rarely played with girls, not even when they threw themselves at him for free. I have more important things to concentrate on, he would say whenever I asked him why he wouldn't just live freely. And when I tried to find out what had his attention, it was always the gym and books. Duke was a voracious reader, even more than me, but then, that was one of the perks of this school—making you hungry for knowledge."Where are your bags? Aren't you leaving yet?" Duke asked, his sharp eyes sweeping over me, behind me, searching for the bags in question. His brows furrowed as if his bra

    "Mother wants you back home." Raul said, dropping a kiss on my cheek, his hand trailing an invisible pattern on my belly button.We were naked under the sheets, cocooned in the natural calming magic that came after a frenzied sex, then a slower one, a more passionate one. I was sated, but I wasn't ready to let him go. He had filled up, like his brother over the years. Only that where Duke was a hulk, Raul was firm, with lithe, lean muscles—just the way I loved my men. I don't do bulky.And yes, Raul wasn't the only man I've had in the past six years, but he was the one I've been most loyal to, the constant in the equation. A girl has needs, you know."Maya, did you hear me?"I frowned, pulling away. "I told you not to call me by that name. What's your problem?"So, when Diana had shouted my name on that night I had been stabbed in the back for the second time, the name had stuck in Raul's mind, and so had my past history. He knew my real identity, and it seemed he wouldn't want me t
