Mahl sighs and takes a step away from me, looking toward the window. “If you’re denying me today, I will expect the performance of a lifetime tomorrow, wife,” he snaps. “No half-hearted mewling and laying still on the mattress if you’re going to make me wait like this.”I slip off the table, not knowing what to say. I step forward and take Mahl’s hand, silently begging him to turn to me. He does and I look up at him with wide, worried eyes.Mahl softens, thank god, and steps toward me, giving me another of those long, lingering kisses. Then he smacks me hard on the ass, eliciting a little yelp, and gives me a gentle push toward the door. “Off with you, wife. Prepare yourself for tomorrow – I will send the Priestesses to anoint you with oil. And I will look forward to tomorrow evening.”“As will I,” I whisper, trembling a little with relief and letting him think it

“Come onnn,” Niall groans, looking very anxiously toward the suite’s door. “We have to gooo!”“You just want to see Aurora,” Vivi teases, wiggling in her father’s arms. Auden smiles as he puts her down and she runs to her brother. I press my lips together to keep from squealing at how cute my baby is with his adorable little boy crush.“Yes, I want to see Aurora!” Niall snaps, frowning at his sister. “Who is much nicer than you!”“Aurora cries all day –““She doesn’t!”“All right!” Auden cuts in, his voice loud and serious enough that both kids let their argument drop and turn to him. Auden lifts his chin toward the door. “Go and check your bags, make sure that you have your toothbrushes.”Vivi and Niall dart off to do as they’re bid and I turn to Auden, knowing that he sent them away to

 Margot turns back to the mirror, just staring at her reflection – my reflection twice, really. She shakes her head, raising a hand to her cheek and softly touching it like she’s not sure it’s real. “This shouldn’t be possible.”I hesitate. “Why not?”“The magic,” she murmurs, leaning over the sink to inspect her face, turning it this way and that to observe the incredible effects of the spell. “It’s not that powerful. It’s just a little cantrip – a joke spell…”I bite my lip, not knowing what to say. Because, I mean, I have no explanation for why this works. It just…does.Slowly she turns back to me, her eyes flashing over my face and then down my body. “What are you, Everleigh?”I swallow hard, tilting my chin to the side, not having…any answer for tha

A series of tinkling bells sound out in the room – probably from the musicians in the corner but echoing enough that they sound like they’re everywhere – filling the air – filling Auden’s damn mind with the clanging as his mouth falls open and his eyes narrow only to her –Her –The fucking…vision slated to marry his damned father.And who should – again! – not fucking be here!Mahl smirk and glances at his son. “Seems that you do seem something you like.”Auden sucks in a sharp breath and straightens, glancing at his father, hoping to hell Mahl didn’t see the precise direction of his gaze. “No. You’re mistaken.”Mahl laughs – a loud, booming sound as he briefly puts his arm around his son’s shoulders, pulling him tight to his side for just a moment. “There’s no shame in a love of women, boy! You got it from me. Now. I have a role to play.”Auden watches his father stride toward the women gathered together at the front of the room – the shyer, younger, and sweeter of the Celestials gi

The Celestial girls are panting by the end of their dance and not an Alpha in the room moves, their eyes latched on the women before them. Auden is a little ashamed to admit that he’s one of them, though his eyes don’t rove as the others’ do.No, they stay quite focused on one figure before him.Unfortunately, so do Mahl’s.It’s only his father’s snarl that breaks Auden from his reverie, his eyes snapping slightly left to see his father’s fangs extended, his hand reaching for the woman before him –Auden’s wolf hacks and shakes himself, disgusted at the idea that he’s lusting after the same woman as his father. It’s against his rules – though he’s well aware that his father is the one making it difficult by choosing a woman half his age as his fourth wife instead of marrying a nice, settled woman from his own generation.
