I struggled to fall asleep, but when I did sleep, my dreams were haunted by the dead. I couldn’t let anyone die, especially not my child. I closed my eyes again and it felt like I was traveling through the abyss, but instead of darkness, a bright light consumed me.“Open your eyes, Kai,” a voice said to me. I could feel her aura, it was unlike anything else I had ever experienced. Power rolled off her, and I couldn’t help but bow in front of her. I tried to open my eyes, but I could only do that once her aura diminished.“Stand up,” the voice said again, and it felt automatic when I got to my feet and my eyes adjusted to my surroundings. She was standing on the second to last step, in front of three thrones. Her expression was unreadable, but somehow, I wasn’t afraid.“Are you Freya?” I asked her, and she smiled.“What do you seek, my child?” she asked me.“Protection,” I said.“Not many of your kind can travel through the ginnungagap,” she said, looking somewhat amused that I was the

Adelie reached me and I tried to tone down my smile. This was our first public outing together and I didn’t want to scare her off. “Are you ready to leave?”“Where are we going? I thought we would have lunch in the dining room,” she said to me.“I thought you’d appreciate getting out of the castle a bit,” I said to her, and she nodded.“That will be nice. I’ve never liked being cooped up for too long,” she said.I held my arm out for her, which she took, and we made our way to the courtyard. ‘Carter, I’m taking a car and heading down to the seaside for lunch with Princess Adelie; we’ll be fine, stay here,’ I said to him in my mind.‘I’ll follow in a car behind you and stay out of sight,’ he said and I smiled. Of course he would.‘Will that make you feel better?’ I asked him, and he laughed.‘It will, Alpha,’ he answered me.I opened the door for Adelie and she climbed into the passenger seat. I walked around the car and got into the driver’s seat and started the car when I saw Carter

Tala kept watching Adelie, the emotions that went through her, then Adelie shivered. Tala was patient, waiting for it all to sink into her mind, so she could really understand what Kai went through.“I didn’t know,” Adelie said, as she looked down. It was almost too much to know all that about him, to know the torture he must have gone through, and what she’d just said to him had to have cut him deeply.“The story goes on, he mourned her for two years, blaming himself. He withdrew from all of us, and then Death told him about you, so yet again, Kai did the right thing and he went off by himself to save you, and imprinted on you; you both fought the imprinting. He didn’t want to go through that pain of losing someone again, that’s why he fought it. But as time went on, he couldn’t keep on fighting, and he fell in love with you while you ignored him; but he kept at it, giving you time to get to know him, and finally, you gave in too,” Tala told her.“I remember being saved, just not hi

I rubbed both hands over my face and sighed as I looked at the head Zetas, all standing in front of me. Falcon closed the door behind him, and I knew I had to give them something. “Sit, guys. This is an informal meeting and what I’m going to tell you now stays within these four walls.”“Relax, guys,” Falcon said, and filled a glass with Scotch and handed it to me as the Zetas all made themselves comfortable.“I’m just going to lay it all out on the table for you,” I said, and emptied the glass of Scotch. “Tomorrow night, during the crowning ceremony, we’ll be attacked, no sooner and no later. They will barge into the throne room just as the bishop places the crown on the Princess’ head.”“How do you know this?” Jaime asked me.“I saw it happening. All that matters is that if you wish to stay away, that is your right. Those that want to be present, will be doing guarding duty and getting people out of the throne room. I can’t cancel the ceremony and there is no other way around this ot

Jessica glared at Malachi and Kiran took a step closer to them. I had enough to deal with and I didn’t need my family to be at odds with each other. I stood up from my seat and looked at them all. My Alpha aura was flowing from me and they all went quiet.“This is my plan and it’s final!”“Kai, calm down,” Falcon said, and I struggled to keep Onyx from pushing forward as my eyes began to change color.“Everybody should just listen to what I say. I know what I’m talking about, and as long as you do what I say, then you’ll all be fine,” I said.“And what about you? Will you be fine?” Adara asked me.“Even if I’m not, my son will be, and that’s all that matters,” I said.“We’re stronger together, we’ve learned this the hard way, but it’s the one thing that’s true,” Adara said to me.“Not this time Mom, this time it’s just me,” I said to her.“I think we all should get some rest. Tomorrow is a new day. At least we know what’s coming and we’re prepared,” Kiran said and stood up.“Kiran, I
