 "Sis! Where are you headed?" Mathias's voice booms behind her. Selene turns to wave at her approaching brother. He catches up near the forest line with a giant smile. "Just headed for a run before Jo comes."  "I'm joining!" Mathias says excitedly, beginning to strip out of his clothes. "Umm...sure.." Selene reluctantly agrees. She steps behind a tree to take off her clothes, stuffing them in a bag and hanging it on a nearby branch.  "Let's do it, Feather!" Selene signals her wolf. Feather doesn't need to be told twice, quickly shifting. Mathias's wolf, Titus, takes off when he sees them. "Come on, sis! Let's race!" Mathias yells through the mind link.

Voices seep into Selene's dreams, drawing her to open her eyes. She is in her bed alone, the voices coming from the foot of her bed. She stirs, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Good morning," she greets. "Good morning, love," Liam smirks. She reaches for him, and he responds, climbing in next to her. "Sleep well, doll?" Jones moves to the other side, kissing her forehead. " Yea, what were you talking about?" Selene buries her nose in the beta's neck, breathing in his alluring chocolate and campfire scent. "Everything," Liam replies. He lifts her chin to meet her eyes. "I'm not going to lie, love. Toby and I don't fancy the idea of sharing you. Now you have two mates-vampires no less, that we have to share. However... we want you happy, princess. If Lord Jones and Luke make you happy, Toby and I will try.""All of this mate bond stuff is confusing, and I'm still trying to understand how I got a fourth mate when I had three, but I want to see where it goes." Jones laughs, lift

The witch smiles at the image in her looking glass. The vampire alpha and the faerie queen are consumed with distrust and hate. The witch didn't have to do much to cause this rift; she only planted the seeds of doubt on Jones and Esther. When the faerie queen discovered Selene's mating to Jones, the seed exploded, creating a whirlwind of dark energy within the witch. The vampire alpha was easier prey than Esther, his doubt and hate for the faeries were easy to feed. Cleo cackles at Selene's feeble attempt to stop their violent quarrel while the Pack Luna's voice is rendered useless. The grin on Cleo's face widens-the spell was going better than she imagined. Selene thought she could outsmart her by mating with Jones, but alas, Cleo always wins. She had to hand it to the little hybrid, she was quite the formidable foe. Cleo took one of Selene's mates and her friend, hoping to incapacitate her abilities. When they proved fruitless, she cast an enchantment to sow doubt about Lo

Selene feels panic rise. She taps her belly and feels a flash of fear for her pup. Suddenly, a sharp pain in her stomach forms, causing the hybrid to double over from the pain. A doctor and nurse block her view. Tears begin to flow down her cheeks as she hears the doctor. "The pup is in distress." A cold set of hands touch her shoulder, and she feels calm. A male voice mumbles something next to her, but it sounds like white noise. "Get them out of here! She only needs one mate at the moment!" The nurse yells at someone out of her vision. Her teary eyes roll to the side, and she sees Jones. He kisses her knuckles. "Selene? If you can hear this mind link, come back, doll. Your-our baby, she is in distress. She needs her mum Selene. I need you. Luke needs you. Hell, everyone needs you." Jones's deep voice flows through her head. She leans into his touch.

"NO.""Jo, Luke is my mate, and I have a right to know!" Selene glares at her vampire alpha. "And you bear my mark, and you will do as I say. Stay away from the dungeons." Jones's eyes flash red, and his fingertips bury in Selene's waist. The hybrid throws his arms off her, stomping to the door. She is on a mission, and no one is going to tell her what to do. Finally, she spots the vampire that barged into Jones's office earlier, storming up to him. "Where is Luke?!" A glimmer of annoyance passes on the guard's face before a warning cough from Jones erases it. "Yes, my Queen. The dragon claims that Luke and the faerie are deep in the Dragon's Belly on the north side of Danyrus. No one is guarding them since the cell is fortified with silver."An alarm goes off in Selene's head. Something isn't adding up. "Isn't silver a vampire and wolf's weakness?" She turns her neck to Jones.The vampire alpha nods. "It is. Morgan and Luke will be weakened, no mind-linking, shifting, or v
