There will be one more chapter after this and then book 3 will be done! This chapter won't be very long so I should be finished with it soon after edit and tweaking. I still don't have a name for book 4 so if you think you've got a good idea for one I would love to hear it. As always I would love to hear your thoughts on the story. Thank you so much for reading it lovelies!
Blaze What. The. Fuck. This had to be some sort of sick fucking joke. How was it even possible? Why would he even do something like this? What was he after? I wracked my brain for answers but no matter how hard I tried, I could not make sense of his actions. I thought back to when I got home, tending to a few things with my various business ventures, things that others ran for me, I was very hands-off but still checked in from time to time. I was really only there to check in and then have dinner with my mother. Thinking back she was awfully concerned with me getting back to Kara in good time and not staying the night, telling me that I should enjoy my time with my mate, not waste my time on the island if there was nothing pressing going on. At the time I didn’t think anything of it, but that wasn’t like her. She never tried to rush me off before. Could she have known that Cadmus couldn’t be trusted? Brodryn was being kept on the island, I didn’t know it at the time but she must h
I sat at the table and panicked, my heart racing and my blood cold in my veins. I swallowed, my mouth suddenly dry and sore, the acrid taste of fear rising like bile at the back of my throat. Through our mate bond, Kane could feel my panic and I could feel him getting closer. I stood up from the table, excusing myself quickly as I left the dining room and met Kane on the stairs, wrapping my arms around him and holding on tight. “What’s the matter, babe? I could feel your panic and fear?” He questioned in concern, pulling me away enough to see my face. “We need to talk in your office. Magnus, could you get Brodryn to join us?” I asked softly as I turned to stare at him, biting my lip as Kane nodded and led us into his office, sitting with me on the couch. We sat in silence while we waited for Magnus and Brodryn to join us. I didn’t want to repeat this more than necessary, but I could feel Kane’s worry through the bond, his need to comfort me strong as he runs his hand over my bac
After informing the three of them what I found out it was a flurry of activity while Magnus informed his other brothers and Kane kept me close, taking me around the pack and showing me around to the offices, the library, the pack hospital and the school. We went into the daycare and I was bombarded with a bunch of young little ones that wanted to meet their Luna and all of them asked me rapid-fire questions. It was a little overwhelming and Kane had to rescue me, telling them we’d come and visit another day. We then popped in and met with every class, the little ones all wide and curious and asking innocent and cute questions. While the high school years were a little skeptical and asked some questions that bordered on the inappropriate. While we were in the senior class Kane got called out with the teacher to discuss another matter and left me alone in a classroom with about thirty-four, seventeen and eighteen-year-olds. I will admit I was momentarily intimidated, they were my age g
By the time we finished shopping the school day had ended and a few students were milling around in the library and said hello when they saw me. I smiled and talked with a few of them before going back to looking through the selection of books. There were so many and I knew I could spend hours in here, lose track of time and just get lost in a good book. “Do you miss that you didn’t get to do school the same way others did?” Kane asked as he came up behind me, leaning against the shelf beside me. I tilted my head in thought then shrugged.“Not really. I think I would have preferred it just so that it’s over and done with, but I don’t regret that I didn’t get to go. I’m getting my GED and I made amazing and true friends even without going to school so it’s not like I really missed out on anything.”“Alright Love, I was just asking. Would you like to join in on afternoon training? I know you’ve been itching to since you got here.” He smiled and laughed as I grinned and bounced on my to
: Are you ready Darling? :Magnus asked through mind link as his dragon looked at me with his intense indigo eyes. I rumbled low in my chest and nipped and licked his scales around his maw, rubbing against him and stepping closer to him, letting him know I was more than ready. He purred low in his chest and stepped close, huffing out a wash of air over the part of my body that would be lower collarbone in human form. I shivered, my scales rattling slightly from the action. The air was like a wash of heat and comfort from a flame, akin to a bonfire. It felt amazing and made my breath hitch in anticipation.He opened his maw and grazed his very sharp teeth over the spot I chose. The heat of his breath made me shiver and while I was distracted by the feeling the warmth elicited he bit hard into my scales and the bite erupted in heat and it felt like flames flicking under the skin, drawing a design onto my skin. There was no pain associated with it, however, just pure pleasure, warmth and
I woke the next day feeling overheated, confined and in desperate need of the bathroom. I rolled over and stifled a laugh as I saw Magnus deeply asleep, his hair all over and his arms and legs around me tightly. I wiggled out of his grip slowly and once free I tiptoed into the bathroom and quickly did my business. I left the bathroom and went into the closet, pulling on a hoodie and a pair of tights. I went back into the bedroom and as I made to pass the bed a hand snagged out and pulled me into bed.“Why is it that you insist on getting dressed and keeping this gloriously soft skin hidden?” Magnus asked, his voice deeper with sleep as his hands went under my sweater and touched the skin of my stomach and side. I giggled and tried to wiggle out of his hold but he just held me tighter and brought his hand to tilt my head up and capture my lips in a kiss.“Because I’d rather not walk around naked and have my mates get all possessive and snarly at anyone who looks.” I said with a laugh a
When I woke up I knew once again that I was dreaming. The snow was thick, up to my hips this time and the wind raged, the howling of it loud in my ears as I tried to orient myself. It was so cold I couldn’t feel my toes, nor could I really move in the snow. I tried to call my dragon or my wolf forward and once again I could feel neither. I was getting real sick of these magical dreams. I wrapped my arms around myself for some semblance of warmth and trudged through the snow, grunting at the aching cold I was feeling from the waist down. This time around the snow was much worse. I had fallen asleep in only a sports bra and panties. I was cold beyond belief and not being able to reach out to my wolf or dragon for warmth was a special kind of hell. I shivered so bad my teeth chattering was a loud sound in my ears as I stumbled through the snow, searching in vain for the cave. At this point, I’d willingly take His help if it meant getting out of the cold. It hurt to move and all of me bur
I stirred in the overly warm bed and took a deep breath, my stomach growling as the scent of perfectly cooked bacon reached my nose. I stretched and yawned before sitting up and rubbing the sleep from my eyes, looking to see I was alone in the bed. As I moved to get out of bed, my hair swung in front of me and I caught a whiff of burnt wood and smoke. With the scent came the memory of the dream. I sighed and pulled my hair back into a ponytail, my mind reeling and trying to make sense of everything the Alpha had said to me last night. I went to the closet and grabbed tights and a loose-fitting shirt before making my way into the kitchen and smiling as I saw Kane at the stove while Magnus was scrolling through his phone. “Morning, Darling. Sleep ok?” Magnus asked as he looked up upon my entrance into the room. I shrugged and went to him, giving him a kiss before going to make a cup of coffee, getting a good morning kiss from Kane as he cooked. “It was a deep sleep, but I um…I drea
