A royal visit and police interactionsSebastian visited with the children for an hour longer and then took off telling us both to see Arram. I gritted my teeth knowing he meant for us to ask Arram about the curse. Curses and my family didn't mix well. My father, uncle and late grandfather all had been cursed and my poor uncle Eion had turned to stone because of it."I'm going to go to my parents to retrieve my reaper box and maybe check out the human realm because I have a craving for a pizza burger," I said softly and both men shrugged. Sebastian disappeared and I turned to Salenis."Ready to go to the palace?" He nodded and clasped my hand as I transported us both to my parents residence. When I opened the door I glanced around. Renee rushed forward to tell me my mom was in the kitchen. I thanked her and headed that way with Salenis on my heels. I opened the door and saw my mom drinking coffee. She looked up and smiled."Morning, sweetie. What brings you here
Interesting conversation with Luric I followed the tall prince out of the room and into a huge space room. I looked up at the high ornate plaster gold and painted ceiling with a huge sparkling crystal chandelier. "Wow," I mumbled softly and Luric followed my eyes and mumbled,"yeah it's overkill. This was once my father's residence before he became the king of Alfheim." I grinned up at him."It's obnoxious but pretty in a royalty sort of way," I replied sarcastically and he chuckled. "My sister told me you grieved deeply for Nekane and thought how amazing your heart was to love someone who was such a cancerous old soul. When she met you that second time and she realized who your husband was…she thought you'd be perfect for me." I looked away from his intense eyes searching within mine. I exhaled deeply and looked back up at him."I loved him with my entire being and felt a piece of myself leave with him. Starting a new relationship with someone isn't really something that I'm ready f
Living my day to day as I plain reaperFive glorious months have passed and I waddled away from my thousandth soul release. I fist pump the air at my personal accomplishment. I rub my baby bump happily and transport myself to my parent's place for my baby doctor appointment. I'm due to pop at any time. I've received several requests from my dear brother to visit his mound but I've declined each knowing that I have elves there wanting to sweep me off my feet. I was thankful that he never disclosed the address of my home. I had overheard Renee telling Jorge that a dark elf had been spotted in the reapers section and escorted off by my father's guard. I grinned slightly knowing it had to have been Salenis. I often thought of him and Luric as well but kept myself busy with work and with my growing twin boys when Rai or Sebastian brought them for a visit. I opened my parents door and headed inside calling for them. My mother runs towards me and gives a big hug, shocking me over he
Fun in the sun and growing bond with Salenis Thankfully Sebastian came and took the three of us to Hoka and his husband Kaimana's Island home located somewhere near the Hawaiian Islands in the pacific ocean. Salenis was wide eyed looking at the amazing place and Hoka was a wonderful host. I finally got to speak directly with Coral, the ocean nymph slash siren that had ensnared Ellis. We actually had some things in common. We were both princesses, had magic and unfortunately the same taste in men. Lucky for me Salenis was oblivious to her siren call and only had eyes for me which I found endearing. We have been staying with Hoka and his family for a month so far and were informed that an entire two years had passed in the other realm. I shrugged and glanced over at the brown skinned, blonde haired elf and winked when his purple eyes landed on me. Our relationship hadn't advanced physically but we flirted a lot with each other. Tonight Hoka was preparing a great feast for the
Our new rolesI held Salenis close to my body. I was content with my new elf mate, even though he was half Dökkálfar, I was pleased with him entirely."Luric is going to be super pissed," he mumbled I looked up at him presenting me with a stunning ring. I raised my hand for him to slide the ring onto my finger. I asked him his ring size and created a matching ring for him with my magic using the molecules of the ring he had given me."I truly don't care what Luric is. I love you not him," I replied, making Salenis grin happily."Once we leave this island our crowns will appear upon our heads," he added and I twirled my finger saying,"whoopee." I wasn't thrilled about being royalty. "I'm not even allowed within the forest of souls how am I supposed to govern over the elves of Alfheim," I questioned outright and Salenis chuckled telling me I worry too much over trivial matters."You carry elf blood, it matters not if it's Dökkálfar or Ljósálfar," he said sincere
Chapter 32Palace of Alfheim Salenis, Ravin and I appeared in the center of the great room bathed in bright shimmering colors. I narrowed my eyes as they adjusted to the intensity of the elves color palette. I saw Alya's white head heading towards us. Her blonde brow was creased and her silver eyes full of confusion."Brother, why are you here with our queen? Luric has announced that he is the rightful king but I see the crown is upon your head," she said quickly. Salenis explained the entire ordeal of what occurred with Lutic and Alya grew more concerned the further the story went."He's making his claim official by telling everyone that he is the true king. He's such a stubborn man," she growled angrily and I chuckled softly at her. Alya shook her head at me and frowned."This is a very serious problem my queen. Your king could be killed and replaced by Luric and no one would dispute it," she said sternly, causing me to swallow uncomfortably and look worriedly at Salenis as he held
King Luric I took Ravin into my arms and Salenis smiled down at me."A word of advice, Luric is an intellectual and admires quick wit and charm. You're both of those things and more, Skye. Plus Ravin is going to knock his socks off with his intelligence," Salenis said sincerely to me as he brushed my boys cheek. My throat was burning as I fought the tears that were threatening to spill. "Love you, Skye, I'll send you a message through the meaning of the tree I turn into," he growled softly and I nodded, unable to speak. He kissed me one last time on my forehead before he disappeared from my sight, set on doing his last task. Ravin and I appeared within the palace of Alfheim. I burst into horrendous sobs and went to my knees in my anguish. My boy was confused and hugged my neck telling me that everything was okay. I hugged him tightly and told him yeah. I sat on my butt on the floor with Ravin in my arms when Luric walked in and looked perplexed at the small child. He
Working for the real Alfheim crownAfter Luric's odd announcement of a gathering I felt uncomfortable. I didn't want to have to explain over and over about Salenis's departure. It was hard enough missing him. I looked across the table at the elf man. An odd thought filled my mind. I wished he'd cut his hair; it would make him appear less cruel and brutish. I jumped slightly when he asked me what I was thinking about."I just was wondering what you would look like with short hair," I mumbled. Luric scoffed saying it's taken him years for his hair to grow as long as it was and he had no plans of ever cutting it. I looked away from him and exhaled. I excused myself and asked Ravin if he wanted to take a walk with me outside. The child nodded excitedly and I lifted him from his chair. Holding his hand I headed towards the door and could feel Luric's eyes on me. I turned around and grinned."Would you like to join us?" I asked him and was surprised when he replied yes."D
