CHapter 71- Finn's lost memory

The young woman confided in him how she dreamed last night of a fine little cabin that always smelled of warm meat stew and decent food being cooked to nourish all the enthusiastic and hungry serfs. He mumbled to her that he certainly wished her well but that the excursion might be hazardous. She shushed him about the difficulty; she had an ambition now to hold on to. Hours later, Kain abruptly felt re-energized, with high expectations and ambitions. He wasn't behaving like a dummy at all. He was offering these poor serfs something they needed and wanted. Freedom. His silver coins weren't bought in vain. He might as well free himself from the chastisements of the past and be happy with their freedom. Guilt shall be removed from his heart; beyond that, he was a master, a newly created master, of these poor peasants. Giving them freedom was the least of his worries, and with all the church needs, he will continue to free them until his very la

Chapter 72- You are not mine, Kain

Later, Kain went to the old woman's family tent. He needed to have another discussion about what he had bought into. An agreeable, forgiving lifestyle might be somewhere in his future, but that somewhere certainly isn't here and now. Confusion was in charge, and he was compelled to dance to its tune whether he wanted it or not, though Kain still got to decide a step here and there. He had a little moment before the feast, and he needed to deliver a few messages, which he dictated to Almera. The old woman busied herself with basket-making while Almera and he labored away. Finn was sent off to look for suggestions down at the wharves. Kain hoped he might stumble across something we could build while he was poking around. It took him a while to clarify to him

Chapter 73- Pearl and the three ass

A few miles away from Kain.Pearl thought, yes, she did compromise. She thought if she continued to work with Ethan, he would be the bigger person and do what was right and let her keep her deal with Alec.I’ll just stay on Ethan’s good side, and he’ll stay on mine; we’ll form a bond of sorts, and, if I ask him nicely, he’ll go with Alec to keep my word—and, more importantly, my money. My spell books. Then he can leave if he likes. He doesn’t have to stay, but he does have to make it appear like I’m not a crook. Because I’m most definitely not. I keep my word. Until then, Pearl needed to play nice. She lifted her dress as she trailed through the woods after the three men.Heat rolled through the forest, making sweat drip down her neck and back.They were looking to meet up with their source. Fear twisted through her, but she smoothed it out with the reminder of her plans.Today will have to be a rather careful day. A plan was in place.I'll just have to stick to it, she reasoned."Ho

Chapter 75- Kain and Pearl

Kain knew he was being ridiculous. There were a thousand things wrong with this scenario. He was standing in King Edward’s lair years before he was ever born. Surrounded by demons and alchemists who would happily destroy them if they decided they were intruders. And they had no way to return to the proper time. Which meant they were stuck. But was he thinking or planning on how he could survive the next hour? Or day? Nope. His brain was utterly consumed by the revelation that Pearl was formally betrothed to another male. Scowling in frustration, Kain watched as she gave a small shake of her head. “My mother mentioned a betrothal, but I assumed that I was cursed before it could be formally announced.” “Who is the lucky male?” “What does it matter?” she demanded in genuine confusion. “I’m curious.” She paused as she searched her memory. Then she gave a faint shrug. “I believe his name was Ethan.” “Ethan,” Kain repeated, the name teasing at the edge of his mind. “Do you know

Chapter 74- Five years ago

Five years ago Pearl was trying not to be overwhelmed. It was unexpectedly difficult. After all, it was one thing to experience the world through the eyes of her mother. There was a constant buffer between herself and actually being awake and fully aware of the sensations that battered against her. But now she was left raw and exposed. And it didn’t help to have Kain standing just a few inches away from her. Her father, the king, would kill her… or kill him. She’d seen other demons through her mother’s eyes, but never one who was this gorgeous. His gray eyes that darkened from silver to smoke, the blond hair that was short enough to emphasize his finely carved features. And his hard, male body. He was deliciously sexy. Was it any wonder her magic was anxiously pressing against her skin, wanting a taste? With an effort, Pearl battled the urge to reach up her hand and touch the warm skin of his face. She’d risked everything to tra

Chapter 75- Kain and Pearl

But Kain couldn't help the feeling of dread that washed over him as he looked around the dark and foreboding room. He knew they had to find a way out of there, but he wasn't sure how they would do it. "We need to find a way to get back to our own time," Kain said to his companion. Pearl nodded. "I know. But how are we going to do that? We don't even know where we are or how we got here." Kain took a deep breath and tried to think. He had a basic knowledge of time travel, but it was mostly theoretical. He didn't know if the same rules applied in this situation. "We need to find a way to create a time portal," Kain said after a moment. "But I have no idea how to do that. And even if we could, we don't know whe

Chapter 76- Almost

Kain instinctively moved to stand in front of Pearl, protecting her from view. At the same time, he took a quick inventory of the male in front of him.He was larger than Kain and attired in the familiar uniform that marked him as one of King Edward’s guards. But Kain was one of the few half-breeds who could actually shift into an alchemist warrior. Which meant he could destroy the male if necessary. Of course, destroying fellow half-breeds was usually at the bottom of his to-do list. Unlike some of his more bloodthirsty friends, he preferred to Kain his way out of a situation.“What are you doing here?” the male demanded.Kain flashed a smile even as his hand slipped behind his back. He never left home without his favourite dagger tucked

Chapter 77- Pearl and Kain

Pearl was surprised how easy it was to assume the role of an arrogant, pureblooded alchemist. Almost as if she was born to the role. And she supposed she was, despite the fact she’d been isolated her entire life.She could only hope her brittle façade could last long enough for her to do a search of the lair.Acutely aware of the heavy press of power that crackled and sizzled in the air as they reached the throne room, as well as Kain’s seething disapproval, she halted and removed her hand from the guard’s arm.“I can find my way now.”“My lady.” The guard offered a small bow before he was disappearing among the guests.She dismissed him from her mind as she allowed her gaze to wander over the large room. It was remarkably plain, with woven rugs on the stone floor and torches stuck into the walls. At the far end was a high dais with two thrones. At the moment both of them were empty.Her attention turned to the guests who were gathered in small clumps. Most of them were pureblooded al

Chapter 78- The King

King Edward continued to frown, but seemingly accepting she wasn’t a threat, he stepped back. “I must go,” he said, swivelling on his heel to stride across the room.Like a covey of nervous dew fairies, the guests scurried out of the way of the alchemist who headed straight for the tiny, pregnant female across the room.Her mother…Pearl made a choked sound of disgust as she watched King Edward place a protective arm around her mother’s slender shoulders. It was extremely rare for the king to be this kind. The obvious thing was that he must be pretending. Most pairings were nothing more than political alliances meant to strengthen a clan of powerful alchemist.But there was nothing political in the way King Edward was gazing down at her wife, it was like he was really in love with her. Or how he reached to lay a gentle hand on her swollen belly.“How is it possible?” Pearl rasped.Kain moved to stand beside her, his fingers stroking down her back. His touch was light, but it was enoug

Chapter 79- The plan

He grimaced. Was it possible the two alchemists were safely going to indulge their passions? It was hardly unusual for party guests to seek out companionship among the female servants. He hesitated at the arched opening to the harem, peeking a glance into the large inner chamber. The floor was covered with mosaic tiles, and in the centre was a large fountain that sprayed water into the air. The walls were made of delicate latticework, and the ceiling was domed and covered with precious gems. Kain watched as the two males crossed the floor, waving away the females who scurried to offer their services. They exited into a darkened room on the other side of the main chamber.Kain shuffled through his memories. When he’d been li
