A small warning this chapter contains hard sexual content, blood sharing and puplic sex.. so be warned.  *Davina* Inside the club Lefu leads us through the crowd of guests. They part for us, making a path. We walk directly to the stairs, without stopping or talking to anyone.  This is how it works, just like in the Grotto the rumours of the out of this world beautiful royals will quickly spread and people will come in throngs, hoping to catch a glimpse of Lefu or Celine, maybe even of me. The bat is sure to be a success.  When we are upstairs, I go to stand at the railing, looking over the club. It is much bigger and more luxurious than the Grotto. The dance floor is surrounded by greek columns. Ther

 *Soleil* The next couple of days are even worse to get through. Opening up to nature takes so much energy and most days I am asleep before my head hits the pillow and I have no energy to think of anything but training. It takes me forever to answer Davina's messages. I simply don't have much time alone. I only have time to answer when I am in the bathroom or on my way to bed. And the answers I get worries me. Davina's messages are different, so elated and almost sanguine.   After asking several times she finally admits to having met a guy. I am truly happy for me, she deserves to be happy. But she won't tell me anything about him or who he is. It makes me sad because we have never had secrets for each other. From now it will all be different. I have to lie about all of this and if she can't tell me about her life either, I feel it will tear us apart.  While getting rea

chapter contains passionate first time sex *Soleil* The next day it is pouring down outside. My mom left early and I got the house to myself. It doesn't bother me to be home alone; then I can just relax and do nothing for once.  Despite the rain the air is calm and it feels hot and sticky. After a while I just can't stand it any longer and I decide to open all the windows, trying to air out the house. When I open the window in my mom's room I catch a glimpse of someone standing by the curb. My whole body reacts when I recognize him. I have imagined so many times how it would be seeing him again, what I would say. But as I run out the house and down the driveway my mind is blank.  When I reach the road I stop in my tracks.  There he is, Luca, standing in the pouring rain, totally shaking through and looking

*Soleil* We are sitting around the table in Siri's small kitchen, discussing how to read the runes Gudrun has thrown about the premonition.  "My premonition was very specific. They are not newly changed and they are gathering". Gudrun looks at us.  "It has to be the two High ones we saw at the last moon". Marta gets an annoyed look on her face. "I said we should have followed them. Good knows how much damage they have done since".  "Marta, don't forget the last of this kind we fought took,all of our combined powers and it was alone". Siri points out. "We can't go blind into battle with an enemy like that, let alone two".   "I saw four". Gudrun swallows. "My kin showed me four, not two. They were in a wood. There was water behind them, maybe a lake. Farther down was a bridge. I am sure it was England, mos

 *Soleil* My fingers slide over the screen and the display lights up. Still no message. Actually I haven't heard from Luca at all since he left me yesterday. A thought invades my head and I bite my lip. Was this to be a repeat of the last time ? What if he had just wanted to see if he could get me fully and now when he had succeeded I am no longer interesting, just like Davina had warned me about. No, he is not like that or is he ? Why do I still turn right into an insecure little mouse when it comes to him ? Annoyed, I push away the thought; I need to focus. I will only make things worse by getting distracted by my private life now.  I spent the night at Siri's place. We have agreed on staying away from my town until we are ready to meet the hamram. In the morning me and Gudrun drive to my place after my mom went to work and spend the day training in the garden and in the afternoon we walk down to the local c
