Gabriel seemed finished with my hair, twisting it into a small hair towel and then pulled me back against his chest. His nose grazed my neck. I shuddered. "Don't." His tongue flashed against my skin and I gasped, pressing back into with need. "Why?" He cooed in my ear, nibbling on the lobe. "It will help." I knew he was right, the lust and pleasure of sex was the only thing that soothed the aches and spasm, my body demanding their seed. Xavier moved, leaning over me and stroked my cheek at the same time Gabriel grabbed my breast and squeezed it gently. The actions made me cry out in need, my body igniting with a rush of pleasure, pressing back against Gabriel and I grabbed Xavier, needing his mouth on mine. They both caressed and kissed me, squeezing and tracing erotic trails of need across my body. "Please," I whispered as Xavier pulled away, running his hand across my jaw as I shu

The King of the merfolk, a majestic figure with a strong jaw and piercing blue eyes, rose from the bubbling sea water. He gazed at us with a calculating stare, his voice firm."I will not be drawn into the conflicts of the surface world. My kingdom has no interest in your petty squabbles."My anger, still simmering, boiled over. "You'll get involved, or the Goddess help you." I snarled, my voice torn between man and beast. "You'll help us find Jordon, or you'll face the consequences of the Earthen realm."The King's expression turned cold, but I didn't care. I was beyond reason. I shouted. "Three mermaids and a siren have been dumped into our home! At our mates feet! Through your portals!" The Kings eyes flared, the water below him rippling with waves that crashed and cascaded water across the stone floor and our feet. "You dare accuse me!" He raged, rising for the water. I stepped towards him, Mathias rising to meet the Ki

Theo stepped forward, raising his hands for a moment. "We mean no harm to you, elder. But we must find Jordon. He is using your portals to enter our realm, and we will stop at nothing to protect our own."The elder nodded, understanding in their eyes. "Very well. I will reveal the locations of the portals. But, you must grant us a favor." My brow rose, analysing the words, thankful Rose had spent some time lecturing us on how Fey enjoyed veiled speech. "You want this favour first." I stated.The elder gave a sharp toothed grin. "You're clever." The Queen's expression turned guarded, her voice lowering. "What is it, elder?"The elder's smile grew wider. "Oh, just a small task. You see, we've had a...treasure go missing. A precious pearl, passed down through our royal line. We believe it's been stolen by a group of rogue merfolk."Theo's eyes narrowed. "And you want us to retrieve it."The

I searched for another stack of tomes to the pile in the plush cushions of the concaved den of the downstairs library.I was surrounded by the musty scent of old books and the gentle hum of masculine energy that radiated through my body as I still felt the effect of my Heat.My mates watched me with varying degrees of concern and fascination, their eyes never straying far from me as I moved about the library slowly, finding books and archived notes I thought might have what we need.Dane and Theo had returned yesterday, but I'd been so exhausted, I slept through them taking me from my hiding spot of comfort in the office where Dane and Theo's scents were strongest from their time in it the last few weeks.I woke up to them both holding me, I'd thought I was having a delirious moment again, that they weren't really there. I woke Dane up from crying, his arms and warmth surrounded me as he whispered my name and kissed me. Theo awoke, reassuring me they were r

I looked back at the book. "But why? It's too dangerous....if it's even true." Theo's brow furrowed "What do you mean, Red? What kind of dark magic?" I scowled at the nickname I'd asked to be called in a delirious episode earlier when Theo had played with my hair. He gave a small, but tight, smirk at my expression. I hesitate, unsure how to word the paragraph I read without sounding insane."It's in the temple of Cthulhu. The pearl is linked to its power." I looked up at them "But that's impossible, isn't it? Cthulhu is just a myth, a legend.'Xavier sighed, crossing his arms."Not to the Merfolk, it's not. They believe in the old gods, and the horrors that lurk beneath the waves."Gabriel's ruby eyes met mine, "And you, darling? What do you believe?"I take a deep breath, my heart racing. 'I believe we need to be careful." I turned the page, finding the passage of reason. " I'm the only one who can

Theo gave a small chuckle and moved to sit behind me on the steps, his knees either side of me and supported me."We all know I'm at the top." He said with great confidence. "Right, Rosie?" He kissed the top of my head.I giggled, holding my hands up in a surrender. "I'll let you guys fight this out on your own. Survivor gets their boo-boos kissed."They gave minor nods of agreement and fell quiet around me while I read.Some of it aloud, more just to hear the words and try and decipher the paragraphs of veiled texts and words of the Sea Realm.Xavier brought a chicken sushi platter, rice and miso soup for me, making everyone else steak, fries and gravy.Even Gabriel are with them, not that he required human food to sustain him, but he enjoyed the flavours and had a sweet tooth he tried to hide.Xavier's and my cooking were something he had yet to refuse.Theo had made a joke about my food not being real sushi."Raw fish is gross." I turn

I didn't believe in the old gods.But Roxanna had. Her memories and things she'd given to Gabriel to store in the Tombs, helped me start to believe the stories. Before the Goddess, before the Realms were split in three:The Earthen, Fey and Under. There were the Five Gods. Humans had tales of them throughout history as legends and fables. They shared the world, allowing their lines to bleed into each other without restraint. There was no time of peace. Only survival. Cthulhu was one of the Five, The God of the Deep. He controlled the seas, the creatures and the nightmares that hid in the caverns in the core of the oceans. Alongside him, there were the the God of Spirits, Weavers, Fiends and Fey. Their children fought for centuries. Greed, lust, hatred and pride drove them to near extinction. The Gods themselves clashed in the a final battle when the lands became weak and they saw the chance for one to rei

Silvena rose from her stop in front of the fire, her ethereal glow mixing with the fires orange and gold lights. "How?" She asked curiously, seeing I put the note into my new version of Dracula as a bookmark. The library door opened, Dane putting his head in, following my scent to find me. He smiled, seeing I was curled up in the den. "Hi, baby." He said softly, coming in when I raised my hand for him to join me. "Hi," I smiled, he interlaced his fingers with mine, sitting down next to me and kissed my forehead. I sighed at his touch, raising my head to meet Silvena's annoyed, but waiting, expression. She found the key. I said to her, turning to see Theo and Xavier trying to creep into the room unnoticed.They both stepped on their tiptoes, their hands raised and elbows bent."You're really bad T-Rexes." I noted.Xavier set his feet, clawing his hands and let out a screech, stomping across the room at me while I laughed at

Dane and Theo blinked at me, Gabriel shadowed in beside me with a bowl of fruit salad and a glass of apple juice, slowing and stopping when he saw the expression on their faces. "What did I miss?" He gave me an even expression, knowing my smile was a lie. Xavier chuckled. "One of her delusional episodes that turned into...honestly a brilliant idea." He beamed at me. I giggled, pulling on my pants and took the bowl of fruit, turning and sitting on the leather backless couch in the closet.Xavier grabbed my thick boots and socks, kneeling in front of me to put them on me while I ate and explained what I'd asked Xavier to create.The underground garage now had an extra door. One that led down a small elevator that was imbued with magic to ensure it could always get back to the surface. It was large enough to fit the five of us and two more, if we ne

I giggled. "We may not have D.H.D's but," I grabbed the stone from Dane's hand, holding his hand as I placed the stone onto his wrist. "These can activate any portal in the Fey Realms." I showed them how to activate a simple portal, circling the stone with a finger and calling the portal I needed. "Hot Springs." The large pool rippled, the water changing to show the crack of the opening beneath the hot springs on our mountain. I swirled my finger again, closing the portal. Theo chuckled in understanding. "That's why you needed to map them. To name them."I blushed, but nodded. "This one is called Home Gate." I turned on one of the monitors beside the cabinet. A electronic gridded map system blinked to life, blue dots over all of the portals I'd mapped across between Sparrow Falls and Santa Feia, with Gens help, and the names appearing when pressed. "They should be easy to remember, I tried to keep the
