I looked around and yelled as loud as I can, “WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON AND WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY HOUSE?!” Linden and Max stopped and looked at me like deer caught in headlights. Taylor walked into the house with Evan, “Evan and I had gone for a walk, and we came back to this. I didn’t want to get hit with anything, so I stepped outside and called you.” Evan shook his head, “You got back too fast for me to do anything about it.” I looked at my brothers, and Linden finally spoke, “It started with us just throwing little lightning bolts at each other, but then they started getting bigger and… we’re sorry. We should’ve done this outside.” Max stepped up, “I’m sorry sis. We were having fun and things just got out of hand.” I shook my head, “Well, no one got hurt, but my house is a fucking mess. Here’s what you are going to do. You are going to clean all this mess up, with NO MAGIC! Magic got you in this mess. I am going to stay right here and watch every move you make u

Queen Lakelyn sat back and smiled, “Dahlia wasn’t always evil. When we were growing up, she was actually very sweet in school. She was always helpful to everyone.” I asked, “You went to school with her?” Queen Lakelyn nodded, “I did. So did everyone at this table. Some of us were even friends with her after she went psycho… though not for long after. She turned very dangerous.” Queen Chumani nodded, “She was my best friend in high school. I was convinced that she was destined for great things. She ruined it all.” I sat back and asked, “What exactly was her home life like then?” Queen Chumani smiled, “Her family was so much fun! Her dad was a loving man who treated all the area kids like his own. Her mom always had snacks at the ready for all of us. She had four brothers and two sisters, and they all had friends who liked to hang out at her house. It was always full of laughter and love.” Queen Lakelyn laughed, “It was almost sickeningly sweet. I’m sure they argued, but we ne

I agreed, “It is cool that her convenience turned into not only her undoing, but also some pretty strong bonds. I hope these bonds keep getting stronger.” Then Billy spoke up, “I know Dahlia messed with all of your heads and it would worry me if it didn’t affect each of you in some way. I want you all to know that what she did is on her. Not any of you. I don’t think any of you has the capacity to be like her in any way. I see a lot of her, before her first mate in you, Elisa, and you, Taylor. That doesn’t mean you will turn out like her. Don’t forget that it took a black magic warlock and a fake mate spell to make her that way. The two of you have already found your mates and they are really good ones. You have nothing to worry about.” Queen Chumani smiled, “I understand why you would have doubts about your abilities as a mother, but you ladies are too sweet and caring to even think about being like that. Dahlia was a sweet woman. She was just a victim of black magic and th

Wade visibly relaxed and took a deep, soothing breath as soon as we cuddled close to him, “I just can’t stand the thought of my girls going through all that. I must have been crazy to stay with her as long as I did.” Taylor put her hands on his cheeks and turned his head to face her, “If you hadn’t stayed with her as long as you did, we wouldn’t be here.” He sighed, “You are right. You two are such a blessing. I don’t know how she could’ve done what she did to you.” I smiled, “She never gave us a chance to show her this side of us.” He furrowed his brow, “What do you mean?” I giggled, “When you give hateful, you get hateful. Do you know what I mean?” Dad laughed again and I swear I felt the ground shake and I saw deer running away. He certainly has a powerful presence. That’s for sure. I asked, “What was she like with you?” He smiled, “We were real mates. She was sweet to me except there was always a part of her that didn’t trust me. Like she was always waiting for the other

                                                              Elisa POV Oh. My. Goddess! My dad is moving to our guest house! Taylor and I were so excited we nearly knocked dad on his ass from jumping into his arms! He laughed, “Well, I’m glad that news was so well received.” I laughed, “We would love to have you as close as you can get to us.” Evan agreed, “This is the ideal place for you. That way, when Taylor and I are living on land, you will all be in one place.” Taylor chuckled, “I need to tell my adoptive parents about you, but I would also love for you to meet them.” Dad nodded, “I would love to meet the parents who raised such a kind and well-mannered daughter.” I asked, “So dad, can I teleport you to your place and we can teleport your stuff back?” He smiled, “You can do that?” I nodded. He smiled, “Yep.
