SALEMONCE AGAIN, THE SUMMERS’ ESTATE WAS ENAMORED WITH DECORATIONS AND BUSTLING WITH LIFE. Unlike during the Summoning Ceremony, however, the party they planned was invite-only—and for a very good reason.After debating whom to send invites to, Salem decided on a guest list comprising of royalty. Among them, most notably, were the kings and queens of other kingdoms and covens in Bloodborne who accepted the twins after their birth.Despite having sent the invitations on such short notice, everyone was in attendance. Salem suspected the twins were to blame.It wasn’t every day one got to meet a Blue Blood’s progeny—let alone twins who shared the blood of a dragon, wolf, and magi on top of their vampire heritage.That one twin was a girl also surprised and intrigued Salem’s royal counterparts. Until Priscilla’s birth, there had been no records of Blue Bloods ever producing female children. Yet Salem and his mates had, even if they didn’t understand why or how.Times were changing—and th

SIX YEARS LATER.Salem was standing out on the deck when Ulrich approached him from behind. The dragon shifter wrapped his arms around his mate’s waist and pulled him close. As he nuzzled into the vampire’s neck, buzzing with affection, his mate’s eyes were elsewhere—transfixed on the two children playing in the front yard several feet beyond the deck.Ulrich was practically purring as he planted a kiss on Salem’s cheek and rested his chin against the vampire’s shoulder. Ulrich’s gaze shifted toward the yard as the children’s laughter filled the air, echoing throughout the estate. It was a strong reminder to Ulrich and his dragon how far he’d come.They’d been through a lot since Salem’s Summoning ceremony.Thinking about it gave Ulrich a headache, but he held fast to the gratitude that lurked within his fiery heart. If it hadn’t been for the alliance Salem forged with Damon Nightshade, the Hunters may well still be after them.Thanks to Lord Nightshade’s help, Ulrich and his family c

DAMONFIND MY FATED MATE,” DAMON COMMANDED THE FOLLOWING MORNING AS HE WAITED FOR THE MANOR’S FRONT GATE TO OPEN.“Good morning to you, too,” Midas greeted Damon from the other side.He stared through the black bars with pursed lips. “Did you have a nice trip to Capital City?”Once the gate stood ajar, Damon shrugged off his coat and handed it to Midas. The shifter king grunted in response and rolled his eyes. “Twenty-four hours later.”“You reap what you sow. No one told you to build your castle on top of a mountain, so far from the commoners,” Midas teased. “Terra’s been worried sick since you left.”The king shaded his eyes with his hand as he glanced sideways at Midas. “When isn’t Terra worried?”The gate closed behind them. They walked along the cobblestone path as they talked. The warm rays of the morning sun warmed the dew-laden grass and woke the wildlife nesting in the trees.“To be fair, my lord, he’s worried you will transform again. As am I.”Damon sighed. “I know. But acc

WEACEWEACE HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH AN UNDENIABLE ATTRACTION TO ANOTHER BEFORE.Yet the man standing before him and the one by his side captivated his attention like a moth to light; a bee to honey; a lion to prey.He wanted them.It took every ounce of the Fae’s strength to resist the divine force that gripped him. The blockage which tapered his overwhelming feelings stirring from within, beginning to crack at the seams.He had come prepared to reject Damon Nightshade’s offer if it wasn’t up to his standards—and all these feelings were getting in his way of thinking straight! How was a Fae supposed to protect his heart under such circumstances?“Are you all right?” the one named Levi whispered.Weace couldn’t even look the Siren in the eye. The man’s voice alone compelled more power than most spells. He feared if he made eye-contact, he’d lose himself completely.Ahh... I know what this is, Weace thought.The pull.In the presence of two fated mates, Weace could ignore his primal

DAMON"DINNER IS SERVED.”The celebratory banquet went off without a hitch—if you overlooked his step-sisters’ corner; the left side of the table. The twins sat with Allis, but as Damon and his mates took their seats at the head of the table, they paid him little mind. Their piercing glares created an awkwardly tense atmosphere for the king, despite his best efforts to ignore them.Soon after the three sat down, Midas and Terra joined them, taking seats across from the twins.They shortened the extendable dining table to create a more intimate setting, forcing the groups together. Instead, proximity had the opposite effect, thickening the vibe that hung over the banquet.Fortunately, the twins’ sullen mood did little to overshadow the awe and excitement Damon’s new mates, Weace and Levi, emoted upon first seeing the grand feast. Judging from their smiling, wide-eyed reactions, neither had experienced such treatment before. Lavish dinners, expensive retreats, and the finer perks of roy
