Jordyn POVDaddy told Joshua and me to come to the back gardens. Crystalline, the Fae, arrived and will help Iva. Somehow, Jude, Mom, Joshua, and I are connected. I don’t understand, but I want my sister-in-law to get the help she needs.As we entered the back garden, I heard Crystalline tell Iva that her life is held up by her spiritual energy, not her body. That’s a thing? I never heard of it before.As we approach, Iva jumps up and hugs Joshua and me. Crystalline introduces herself, and then we all sit down on the three benches outside.“Iva,” Crystalline began, “there is something very different about you from everyone else. It’s not just your spiritual energy. It’s how you came to exist.”We all looked at Crystalline, confused. “I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Came to exist? Could you explain further, Lady Crystalline?” I asked.She smiled, “Iva was created, not carried.”What does that even mean? I’m getting more and more confused.Iva is, too, apparently, because she asks, “What
Iva POVI’m nervous about the Fae coming to visit. According to Jaxon and Ozul, she is powerful and will definitely help me channel my spiritual energy. I don’t even understand how I am supposed to be powerful. I don’t understand how the spiritual energy makes me powerful. All I know is that I do want to know how to control it.“Iva? What are you thinking?” Jude said, holding me from behind.I leaned into him, letting his warmth envelope me. “I’m nervous about meeting Crystalline. I’ve never met a Fae before.”“The Fae realm is nice. They mostly want to live in nature and not bother anyone. They understand the planet's energy and how to harvest it for good. They don’t like confrontation at all, but know how to defend themselves well,” Jude said. “They are proper, though. Like if etiquette had a face and place, it would be all the Fae in the Fae realm. They are easily offended by those who know better and choose not to know better.”“What if I offend them?” I asked, feeling even more n
Jaxon POVI’m having flashbacks of Winter Moon. Now Jaiden is mated to Joshua’s sister, Melanny. That’s three of my six kids. I’m sure Jayme is going to find his mate soon. Then Cece, Joshua’s other sister, found her mate. Everyone is getting mated again.Sable laughed when I scowled. I’m feeling old right now. My kids are growing up and finding mates. Pretty soon, it’s going to be an empty nest situation, and I don’t think I'm going to be able to handle it.Sable decides to tease me, “Jaxon, perhaps we will have grandpups by the end of the year. Then we can watch them grow up and get mated.”“You’re already mating my grandpups off before they are even here! You cruel woman.” I pouted.I have loved having my family. I know it’s growing, but watching Sable carry them and then raise them is an experience I will have to sit on the sidelines for as I watch my kids do the same with their own pups. It also makes me realize that I will be retiring as king and passing the reins to Jude soon.
Joshua POVOkay, Jordyn is better than I thought. I was holding back, not wanting to hurt her, but I pushed her a little harder yesterday, and she still got mad at me. She said I don’t care about her safety if I won’t train with her the right way.I have to admit that it gutted me. I am crazy, stupid over that she-wolf, and she thinks I don’t care. So today, I went harder. She still knew I was holding back. She stepped away and put her hands on her hips.“You know what? I’m going to train with someone else,” she said. “This isn’t working.”I growled possessively and reached for her wrist. She dodged me and then sassed me.“Don’t you growl that possessive shit with me, Joshua.”“You’re mine, and I don’t want another man putting his hand on you,” I said dangerously low in her ear.She scoffed, “Too bad. Since you are playing games with my safety, then I will have to look after it myself.”She turned and started walking away from me, and I lost it. I ran up to her and grabbed her by her
Mystery POV“Sanger, you have only two more weeks to get my samples to me. I paid a lot of money, and I want to see my investment delivered. Otherwise, I’m pulling back all investments, and I will make sure all other investors pull back their investments too.”“Of course, Sir. We ran into a delay, but things are now back on track. It would be very helpful if you could extend the deadline for us by a week, though.” Sanger said.He is supposed to be smart, yet his trials fail over and over again. I have invested a lot of money into this research. I expect to have a return on my investment. So far, he has been short on everything, except excuses.“The deadline remains. I want the sample you promised, or I will make good on my promise. You and your family will be in financial ruin, Sanger,” I said and cut the call.“Alpha,” my beta comes in with a folder, “I have information about the Sangers that you requested.”I grabbed the folder and started flipping through the documents, while my be
Jaxon POVIva is becoming increasingly intriguing. I trust the Moon Goddess, and I will never question her, but I do wonder why my son is mated to Iva. After hearing about Iva’s ability and then seeing her eyes glow, it’s clear she is very special.I could see the look in Jude’s eyes when Iva was claiming him so openly. It’s the same look I get in my eyes when Sable claims me in front of the warriors. It's definitely an ego booster for any man,, and my son isn’t any more immune to its effects than I am.I go to my office, and Sable is with me. I’m holding her hand. One thing that has never changed is the feeling we get when we touch. The electric jolts have always been there, and I don’t think I could continue living if something happened to Sable and I lost our connection.“I think Iva is as formidable as you are, my little opponent,” I tell Sable as she smirks at my endless list of nicknames for her.“I worry that the only way she can unlock her gifts is by using her trauma. If she
Jaxon POV “Pretty hot, huh?” I said looking at Sable. Her lips are swollen and her hair is a tousled mess. Her eyes look shy but glassy with desire. I hated pulling back, but she is a virgin and when I make her mine, I’m not going to do it in a shower or up against a wall. ‘Finally! You admit you
Jaxon POV She starts arching her back and one of her hands grabs her breasts. “Jaxon, please. Touch me.” She’s whispering, breathy, needy, and fuck if I’m not turned on watching her. I know I should leave and not be some creep watching her have a wet dream, but I’m a miserable bastard who is enj
Darius POV It’s been a week. A fucking week since I lost my Sable. I know she wasn’t actually mine, but I had hopes to take her on as a chosen mate. She was right though, it was a suicide mission and, in my rage, I didn’t think things through. Then that fucker Jaxon stabbed my mate with a silver kn
Jaxon POV Sable is quick witted and loves the underhanded digs. She acts like a warrior but in a female kind of way. She is quick on her feet and witty. It’s pretty amusing. I wonder what she packed from her parents. She was pretty quick about packing, even if she forgot to change out of the girli
