Chapter 51 - Far From Done

Rieka I let Amar out of the truck as soon as we got back to the packhouse, and the gray son of a bitch took off running to who knows where with the knife still in his mouth. I called for him, but he completely ignored me like I was nothing. Nice recall, prick. I heard a giggle from the packhouse porch as I stared at the fading dog in disbelief. "That's one hell of a guardian. He always did take after Julia," Sylvia said with a smirk as she made her way down the stairs, her long blue patterned skirt flowing in the breeze and jewelry clinking together like a delicate wind chime as she moved. Seth chuckled as he walked over to join Sylvia and I on my side of the truck. A frustrated sigh passed through my lips as I turned to look at the tiny brownies and bean-tighes that were still waiting in the truck. "You can make yourselves at home. There's more than enough room for all of you," I said as I held my hand out towards the packhouse. "I'm happy to see that they left Julia's ca

Chapter 52 - Girl Time

Rieka "Thanks for helping out with barn chores. I know the girls appreciate having a day off," I said to Mia and Izzy as we started cleaning up from feeding the horses. "You really don't have to thank us. They're our responsibility as well," Izzy replied as she swept the walkway. "So, now that chores are done and it's safe to say we're all alone, what was it like?" Mia asked, her brown eyes showing her giddiness. It's been so crazy that this is the first alone time the three of us have had in a while, and Mia was eager to hear the dirty details. "I .... well ...... it was better than I thought it would be, but ...." I hesitated as I felt the heat move to my cheeks. "Messy," Izzy said, finishing my sentence. "YES! But it wasn't just because of him," I replied, almost embarrassed to say it out loud. Mia gasped as she pulled the empty feed buckets from the stalls. "Rhi, are you a squirter?!" I completely avoided eye contact as I quietly took the buckets from her and ad

Chapter 53 - Catching Up

Rieka "So, when are you going to have the Luna Ceremony?" Tyler asked me from the driver's seat of the oversized Chevy Suburban. I looked up at the review mirror, expecting to see Tyler looking at me so that I could give him a dirty look. Instead, he was fully focused on driving. The tension in his body was obvious, and I felt he was just trying to think about anything else other than why he was stuck in the SUV with Blue, Roxie, Damian, Seth, myself, and Amar. "As soon as you learn to fly, I'll have a Luna Ceremony," I said sarcastically with a half smile. Tyler's blue-gray eyes glanced at me in the rearview mirror before quickly returning to the road. "That will never happen," Seth said from next to me. "Even if he does figure out the whole dragon thing, he's afraid of heights." "I was afraid of swimming. Look how that turned out. Now I'm going on a road trip to Seneca Lake just because I'm somehow related to Little Boy Blue back there," Damian said sarcastically from t

Chapter 54 - I Promise

Rieka "You have no idea what a relief it is to hear that you will come back. Doc is awesome, but ..... " Seth trailed off as he looked back at Thrish, who was sitting behind us. Trish let out a heavy breath. "As long as everything gets resolved between Sol and I. I've spent too many years of my life up here hoping to run into him again. The only thing that kept me sane was taking extra classes. Now I just want to move on with my life. Being forced to hold onto a bond that can't be fulfilled ...... what is Levi thinking?" Trish's voice was filled with anger as well as pain. "Well, one thing at a time. First, we need to survive my sister. Shaylee said that Fiona didn't really want to be allies with Moon Rain because of how things are between us, but she was obviously outnumbered by the others and didn't have a choice. So I really don't know how today is going to go, " Blue said as he parked the SUV in an extremely secluded area off of Seneca Lake. "You failed to mention that las

Chapter 55 - Say Her Name

Rieka "Have your sisters always been like that?" Seth asked Blue, who was sitting behind us. "Since forever," Blue answered. "They've always been competitive about everything, and they love mind games." I turned around to look at Blue. "So, how come you don't call yourself a prince?" Blue chuckled. "It wouldn't matter if I did. Similar to dragons, fairies have a ruler for each hemisphere. Only with fairies, that ruler is a queen. So even with me being the firstborn, it doesn't matter. The first sister to birth the four elemental heiresses is the chosen queen." I couldn't help but wrinkle my nose. "I'm so thankful I'm not a fairy." "Girl .... you and me, both," Roxie said Blue smiled as he leaned over and gently kissed Roxie's temple. "Maybe you're the type of queen the fairies need." Roxie rolled her eyes as she shook her head. "What about their mates?" I asked out of curiosity and to help kill time. "Well, we don't really feel the mate pull like you guys do unles

Chapter 56 - Show and Tell

Rieka "DAD! DON'T YOU EVEN FUCKING THINK ABOUT IT!" I looked past Leviathan's dragon and saw a man and woman walking down the driveway toward us. It didn't take a genius to know they were Sol and Celeste, even if Sol hadn't called Leviathan 'dad'. Anyone could see the resemblances between them. Celeste's brown hair was in a long braid down the center of her back. Sol had a haircut with short sides and a slightly shaggy top. Their aqua blue eyes were locked on the wolves that belonged to Trish and Tyler. I decided to take advantage of the fact that Leviathan was in his dragon form and couldn't keep me away from his children without risking hurting them as well, and quickly made my way toward them with my hand extended. "Hi, I'm Rieka Androgeus. I'm Seth Salvatore's mate, and he's the Alpha of Moon Rain." As the woman reached out her hand to shake mine, Leviathan blew a large puff of steam from his nose, showing his obvious irritation. "Celeste Abano, and this is my brother
