Selena looked at Andrew in shock. How could she be the daughter of a god and goddess? She also didn't understand why that had anything to do with her being unable to hear or speak. Why can't I speak? She wrote in her notebook. "The sister that sent you here had a curse placed on you, so you can only hear and speak if you are mated to a shifter. When Eros found out what she had done, he asked Selene, the Moon Goddess, for help. She made it possible that you were reborn to a werewolf family. You weren't their biological daughter, so you didn't have a wolf. Selene said she would have you mate with one of her wolves. Once Zaiden marks you, you will get a wolf and be able to hear and speak. I must warn you. Once the curse is broken, the sisters will know what happened and will not rest until they get revenge." Andrew saw both Selena and Zaiden becoming more and more confused. "Why would they want revenge on Selena? She hasn't done anything to anyone," Zaiden asked, making sure she cou
Gunnar hung up the phone and looked at Bianca. They'd only been together for a few weeks, but in that short time, there had been a lot going on. Now, it looked like it was going to continue. "That was King Zaiden. He asked if we could send some of our best warriors to help his own. Are you okay with going to the palace? I'll leave Austin and Jessica in charge while we're gone. He didn't ask us to come, but I could hear how desperate he was. He said something about Selena being threatened." He walked over to where she sat on the couch, and Bianca smiled at him. "Of course, we can go. I'd like to check in on Selena myself. What about the girls?" She asked. They both knew Polly and Trisha wouldn't be happy if they left them behind. "We'll leave it up to them. I'm almost sure they'll want to go, but who knows with those two?" Since Bianca and Trisha came to the Shadow Howlers pack, Polly and Trisha had become thick as thieves. They went to the girl's room and listened outside the door
Violet helped Selena put on a dark blue sundress and zipped it up for her while Zaiden was busy talking to the warriors. Violet braided her long blonde hair, and Selena smiled at her in the mirror. "Thank you for your help since I've been here." She said to the older werewolf. Violet smiled and patted her shoulder. "I'm happy to have you here. Zaiden has been so happy since finding you. He was miserable before you came." She replied as Selena slid her feet into a pair of blue heels that matched her dress. She felt like a new person, being able to speak and hear. When Zaiden walked into the room, she ran into his arms. Violet smiled and left them alone. She didn't like betraying them and handing them over to the sisters, but she didn't have a choice. "Gunnar and Bianca are almost here. They're bringing their best warriors as well as the two pups with them." He said before kissing her. The night before had been incredible for them. Now that Zaiden had marked Selena, she should be
Selena was numb after they took Violet's body away. Why would she try to kill her? She had thought that Violet was one of the people she could trust. Andrew took the glass Violet had drunk out of so he could have some tests run on it to see what had been in it. "Who was she?" Gunnar asked while Polly and Trisha stood in front of Selena, glaring at everyone as though they were all trying to hurt the Queen. "She was my attendant and the only person I really trusted here. I can't believe she did this." Zaiden wrapped his arms around her. He hadn't thought Psyche's sisters would get to someone on his staff, but that was the only explanation for why Violet tried to kill Selena. "Gunnar, I trust you and your men explicitly. Can you please check out the rest of the palace staff? I want to make sure there are no other traitors among us." The dining hall had mostly cleared out, but Zaiden still spoke softly. Right now, he didn't tru
Andrew couldn't talk to Eros and Psyche in person, so he had to mindlink. Eros could be a real bastard at times, but he loved Psyche and his daughter. Psyche was going to be the hard one. Aglaura and Cidippe had her guarded, but Andrew had his own spy with her. He sat in his room and closed his eyes. He could mindlink Eros and the spy, but it took a lot of energy and concentration. He decided to try Eros first."Eros, can you hear me? It's Andrew." He mindlinked."Yes, I can hear you. What's going on? Is Selena okay?" Eros responded immediately. "She is for now. She's mated to the lycan king, but Aglaura and Cidippe are trying to kill her. They tried to have someone close to Selena poison her, but luckily, their plan was deflected. We know they'll try again." Andrew mindlinked. "Yes, they will. What do you need? Does Selena know who she is?" Eros hadn't wanted her to know because he was scared it would put her in harm's way, but if the evil sisters knew where she was, there
Selena looked around the room as everyone continued to sleep. She wasn't sure what she should do. When she heard something behind her, she turned around and saw Andrew standing there. "How did I put everyone to sleep?" Selena asked with concern. "Your father is Eros, and he has the gift of sedation. In our realm, that would only cause someone to feel tired, but here, it makes people go to sleep. They should all wake up soon. You will notice some of your parent's gifts were passed down to you. Now you know you have this one; you should be able to control it." Andrew smiled at her as she stared at him in disbelief. "I wasn't expecting anything this powerful." Selena turned back around when she heard a few people moving. She ran to Zaiden and kneeled beside him. He opened his eyes and looked up at her. "What happened?" Zaiden asked, looking around at the others as he sat up. He felt like he'd been asleep for hours. "Apparently, I have the ability to put people to sleep. Andrew s
Psyche continued to pretend that she was too depressed to function. Her sisters were up to something, but she wasn't sure exactly what. She had heard about the woman they had watching over Selena and how she had died because of two pups. Psyche had been so happy that those pups saved her daughter. She knew Aglaura and Cidippe were going to try something else before they would have to take care of Selena themselves. Jameson was trying to figure out their plan, but he hadn't found anything so far. Psyche wanted to talk to Eros, but it was risky. If anyone found out, they would both be dead. Her sisters were only happy when making others miserable or ruining their lives. If they were successful in killing Selena, they would rub it in her face but play it off as though it was best for her so she could move on. Jameson walked into the room and looked at Psyche anxiously. He had some information for her but no real answers. "Where are they?" She asked quietly. Jameson held his finge
Everyone in the palace started searching for Trisha and Polly. Bianca felt sick that someone had gotten into the palace and taken the girls under their watch. Who would have done it, and why? She, Gunnar, Alani, and Omar went into every room on the second floor, hoping whoever had them hadn't had time to go far. "We have the pups. Come to our bedroom." Selena mindlinked everyone. When the two couples reached the King and Queen's room, they burst out laughing. King Zaiden was covered head to toe in glitter while Trisha and Polly looked at him, horrified. "We're sorry, King Zaiden. We thought you were the bad guy," Polly explained. "Girls, where were you? We thought someone had kidnapped you." Bianca said as she and Gunnar hugged them. "We were practicing pretending to sleep when you and Daddy checked on us. When we looked out of our room, we heard you talking about something being wrong. We're the Queen's guards
