CHAPTER THIRTY SIX-THE SPELL
The storm beat against the infirmary window as Teddy glared down at the street below. He stood cross-armed against the cool, damp metal frame as he watched the beads of water bounce up off the street under the orange glow of the lamps.
When he glanced back over his shoulder at Tessa, he choked out the guilt and shame of it all as he slapped his hand over his mouth to keep quiet. Bent over in agony, Teddy hiccupped back the soft sobs of his contrition for what he failed to do and what he was about to do.
Tonight was a blurry mess of chaos, but standing there by her bedside now, Teddy realized he had no one to blame but himself, and it broke him. Everything that followed this moment resulted from sheer panic.

“Where are you hiding?” Slumped down on Tessa’s bed, Teddy clicked his tongue as his eyes scanned the bedroom. He had searched every corner for traces of her husband, and the one thing she treasured most was missing. It was the one thing he could never let her find again. “Not in your bag, not in your drawers, not in your closet. Where would she stash you?”As he lowered himself down into the spot she slept in, he closed his eyes and tried to imagine her lying there. The tingle spread through his fingers as Fate intervened and whispered to his cells to follow them along their cruel path to his ruin. The tight pull on his hand guided Teddy upwards along the soft, white down comforter.

The shrill noise of Tessa’s drunken cackle ricocheted through the second floor like a stray bullet that hit him right in the head as Teddy straightened his tie in the foyer mirror. The little monster he created was making him crazy, and he rolled his eyes at the sound of her voice.Too frustrated to work his fingers, he clenched his jaw and ripped the fabric from his neck. “Fuck!”The old Viking appeared behind him and motioned by bending his fingers. The tension building between the twins was at the boiling point, and he hoped a distraction might bring them back to baseline. “Turn around; I got this.”

“Pick up the fucking phone, Teddy.” The creepy cries and cackles bounced off the windows that overlooked the courtyard as Tessa danced all by herself to the melody in her head. Even for a man like Haldir, who had been everywhere and done everything, her behavior was beyond bizarre.With his arms crossed against his chest, he rolled his eyes as he kept watch and listened to another of his calls go unanswered.He wasn’t blind to her deteriorating state, and short of keeping her by his side night and day, there was little he could do without Teddy releasing her.When the hallucination set her free at last

With the weight of all those eyes burning through him, it made it a bit hard to chew, but Teddy simply gave his signature grin and enjoyed the homecooked meal. Growing up with Haldir’s poor attempts at cuisine and a string of paid chefs made having a sweet, loving mother like Kathy Hexom fix his dinner so much better.The Lycan mate he found himself failed to mention she had twin fathers and twin brothers and, despite his charms, they all stared straight through him without an ounce of mercy.“So, where are you from?” The father with reddish-blonde hair, Robert, crossed his tattoed arms as he pushed himself back in his seat and waited for an answer.Knowing that his past would undoubtedly come back to haunt him someday, Teddy took a second to clear his throat and set down his fork as he readied himself. “Savannah, sir.”Ready to take his turn at making Teddy uncomfortable, Warren, the father with pale blonde hair and the same

“Hold on. I’m coming.” Dabbing at her hair with a fluffy, white towel, Stella answered the front door. “Come on in.”Closing the door behind them, Jacob’s eyes darted across the living room in search of Teddy. “Is he ready to go?”As she glanced over her shoulder at the bedroom door, she nodded. “Yeah, he’s getting dressed. You guys want some coffee?”Wrapping his arm around her shoulder, Logan kissed her temple. “Yeah, that’d be great.”When

The click, click, click of the metal fan that was beating itself to death in the window blew the cool night air across Tessa’s face as it chased away the last of her fever. Blue eyes blinked up to it, and a puff of amusement shot from Haldir’s nose that even in a building full of witches, they couldn’t make it work right.Pushing back the stray hairs from her cheek, he tucked them behind her ear before he leaned over and kissed her forehead. “Do you need anything before I go?”Faint clicks of breaths echoed around her throat until her dry lips parted enough to answer. “I’m okay.”With nothing but doubts in his mind, he pressed his head to hers and hoped he would see more hopeful things in her future. “I’ll be back tomorrow. You be a good girl until I come home, and we’ll go visit Father Michael if you want.”The only sound escaping her mouth was the clucking, halted breaths that came
Queen of Ruin- The Broken Immortals Book Three CHAPTER FORTY THREE-WHEREVER YOU GO
The crushing silence pushed on Haldir’s ears, and the piercing whistle it made lifted the little hairs on his arms when he noticed the sounds of Tessa humming and chattering to herself didn’t resonate in the hall this morning. Finding something else to occupy her time with should have made him happy, but whenever she had a second of peace like that, it sent a shiver through him because it was usually just the pause before a storm that left her bathed in blood. The pads of his fingertips pulsed with a rush of fear when he gripped the doorway, and he closed his eyes before he made the corner. Twice he found her near death right there on her floor, and he swore to himself that the third time, he wouldn&
Queen of Ruin- The Broken Immortals Book Three CHAPTER ONE- THE PARTY
The ticking of the Grandfather clock synced up perfectly to the tapping of Jasper’s shoe against the black-and-white checkered floor until he finally shifted his eyes to the stairs. “Hurry up, Sugar!”After he tousled the dark curls on his head in the mirror, his eyes dropped to Teddy’s reflection. “Will you go drag your sister down here, please? She’s going to be late for her own goddamn birthday party.”From the warm, burgundy wall he leaned on, Teddy pulled his hand from his pocket and pointed his finger gun at his father. “Don’t you worry about a thing, Daddy; I’m on it.”The ting of his fingers bouncing off the cast-iron spindles of the staircase kept time with his shoes sliding across the Oriental runner that led him to Tessa’s room.Her lips made a perfect pout as she slathered on her red lip gloss and shook out her dark, curly hair. “Hell’s Bells! I’ll be dow
