I saw the moment recognition dawned on him, and hit hard. "Candi? Baby?" Tears flooded his face as he took in mine like he hadn't seen me in years, and hadn't been yelling at me the previous night because I had missed a spot when I was scrubbing the floors clean.I broke down and rushed to my parents and held them in my arms. For one brief moment, I felt like I belonged somewhere. Like I was actually home... Like I was still loved and valued.But just then Angie came home from the mall and looked at us in confusion, until she saw the photo on the ground. If I thought I'd seen my sister furious before, it was nothing compared to that one instant in time. And I could see it the moment things started to click for her. She was going to punish me in the worst possible way for betraying her like this... She would blame what happened to them on me of course, because I had the audacity to act like their daughter for a moment.That was the last time I ever saw my parents. It took Angie all of

Yesterday was our mating ceremony, and while we stayed out of obligation to my mom, I just wanted to whisk her away somewhere quiet. I smile as I remember our words creating a magical pact that can never be unbroken."My heart to your heart,” I started low and soft. No one else needed to hear my words. They were meant only for her.“My heart to your heart,” she repeated.“My soul to your soul,” I continued, now a little shaky. I didn't know I'd be so damn nervous after I already started, but at that moment everything became real. This was really happening! Our souls would be joined. She'd already had my heart years ago...“My soul to your soul,” she whispered. I noticed tears gathering in her eyes, but she blinks them away. I knew for a fact they were happy tears, so I didn't mind at all... But I knew she did. Nadia had spent forever on her make up and my sister would kill me if her picture perfect face was ruined before we even got to the pictures!“My magic to your magic,” I continu

Hours later we are in front of the Council.Grand Elder Anastasia smiles, welcoming us to her home. "My King and Queen, thank you for coming. Now is the time to set up our new order," she states, giving us each a warm hug. She has always reminded me of a grandmother... Well, she is. She's Knox's grandmother... And with the way he and my sister have been going at it, I'm guessing she will be a great-grandmother pretty soon... but they haven't said anything one way or the other... Not that I really want to know!"What does that mean?" I ask a little confused. She talked to me and Callie last night, but said she will explain everything today. Yesterday was a day of celebration and not one of business... I appreciated that more than she can know."Most of the magical community has no idea who you are yet. We need to set up a coronation, along with guest councils from all over the world, and then you two will need to... go on a tour. I guess you could think of it as an extended honeymoon,"

My head is already spinning with everything this is going to change. There are going to be a lot of new organizational things we need to deal with now. New logistical things that we never had before. It's not a bad thing, it's good! With leadership we will be able to punish people like those idiots who started the Abyss... Starting with Angie.Damn what a mess that was! All of us had thought the girl had disappeared for good, but unfortunately we weren't that lucky. The only problem was, we all completely forgot her sweet younger twin. I'm still feeling guilty about that. I didn't even realize she'd been abused right in front of my face. Then again, because of some mind trick Angie played on all of us... I completely forgot her existence and she was right in front of my face the whole damn time!I actually feel bad for Colt. The poor bastard still hasn't recovered. And now Angie is 3 months pregnant with his baby. I know he's trying to do the right thing and everything, but there is n

Jaxx POVI can't help it. The moment Trey asked me to be the Leader of the Royal Guard, I was freaking excited! I had been waiting my whole life for something like this. Sure I had been training with the Guard. My dad died, serving in the Guard and I had always wanted to make him proud of me. That's why I trained so hard.We used to spar together all the time, my dad and I. We'd get Trey and the twins, and sometimes even Levi when his nose wasn't stuck in a book. It was fun. When Knox was old enough, he joined our little group and together we really were an unstoppable team. We worked on our drills and our magic, and other than girls, working out and training is my thing.Well. Not so much girls anymore. I've been tamed by my beautiful Siren. She would totally kill me if I did something stupid like even look at another girl. And honestly, she's really been the only one I've wanted... For years, Cassie had been playing me. Been whispering in my ear, telling me I wasn't good enough for
