DAMONBY THE TIME THEY STUMBLED INTO DAMON’S ROOM, THE POTION HAD LONG TAKEN EFFECT, TURNING THEIR SIMMERING NEED INTO AN INSATIABLE BOIL.With the door gaping open, Damon tilted Weace’s face up toward him and took his mouth in his. The eagerness of their tongues sent blood rushing to his groin. He pulled back in time to receive an equally sultry kiss from Levi, whose hands explored the Fae at the same time.They moved from the doorway into the parlor, and from there, to the master bedroom—a large circular room with a bed big enough for all of them and then some. Cloth curtains hung from the framework around the mattress, providing a veil of privacy.Damon tore aside the veil and pulled Weace and Levi down onto the mattress with him.In the darkness, the three of them twined together, touching and kissing with a feverish, unrelenting need.Connecting with his two mates on such a physical, sensual level awoke all of Damon’s locked up inner longings. A deep feeling of gratitude colored

WEACETHE FOLLOWING AFTERNOON, THEY MADE THEIR WAY TO BLOODBORNE.The vampire kingdom stood in contrast to Weace’s imagination. He’d expected Bloodborne to be a dark, scary place, but upon their arrival, the Fae found the opposite to be true. When they arrived at the Summers’ manor, Weace’s skeptical expectations shattered once more.The open, inviting courtyards and intricate hedge fencing made him feel right at home. The mansion cast shadows across the grass as the sun trekked through the blue sky. Upon noticing the Fae’s interest, Damon slowed their pace. The three of them took their time walking from the front gate, absorbing the scenery.By the time they arrived to the manor’s veranda, Weace had reconfigured the landscape in his mind. The mental map would serve as his personal souvenir.They climbed the steps to the front door and paused before a tall set of French doors. Weace almost pinched himself. He couldn’t believe they were really meeting Salem Summers. Weace wondered what

LEVITHE BLOODY THREAT REMAINED FRESH IN LEVI’S MIND AS HIS DUE DATE NEARED MONTHS LATER.With the culprit still at large, Levi found it impossible to forget. Like a phantom stalking its prey in the dead of night, Levi’s dreams haunted him.Some nights, in his nightmares, Levi retraced his steps back to the Violet Room—where a nefarious, faceless being painted the castle walls red with threats. Other nights, he relived the attack in Capital City. But unlike their real-life counterparts, the Siren’s dreams threw in harrowing twists— like his voice failing to save Damon after the knife attack.Like those nights, he sat upright in bed, breathing heavily as fear lingered, gripping him tighter than a straight-jacket.Another nightmare, he thought warily, rubbing his throat.How many times had he seen Damon transform, only to disappear because Levi’s Siren song failed to change him back? The Siren had long lost count—but surrounded by his mates in the face of such despairing dreams, he stoo

DAMONTHE NIGHT OF THE BLOOD MOON ARRIVED ON THEIR DOORSTEP—AND WITH IT, THE BIRTH.“His fever isn’t going down!”Damon and Weace stood next to the bed where Levi rested. Worry over their mate’s worsening condition weighed heavily on their shoulders.“I will go see Venessa,” Damon announced. “If anyone can bring his fever down, it is her.”Midas pulled his hand back from Levi’s forehead, disconnecting the temperature measuring spell he’d activated along his palm. “Carriage, I presume?”Damon shook his head. “No. I will go by portal.”“Oh, my,” Midas whistled and gave Terra a ‘told-you-so’ look. “Our king is growing up.”“Just summon the portal,” Damon grumbled.“As you wish.” Midas retrieved his wand from his pocket and cast another spell. This time, a blue portal appeared beside them.“I’m coming, too!” Weace said, hands on his hips.The king opened his mouth to protest, but the Fae cut him off. “Don’t even. Someone has to be there just in case you transform again.”“But you would be

WEACE"SO IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG!" TERRA CRIED, CHARGING FORWARD.Shanna, the twin sister to Farrah, stared at him with blackened eyes—a far-away soulless look. Weace had seen those eyes before when they got attacked in the capital."She's under someone's control!" he cried.His words came moments too late.Shanna raised her hand and smacked Terra across the face. The force of the impact knocked him back into the wall where he collapsed, unconscious.This is a nightmare, Weace thought. I’ve got to do something!With Levi in the background giving birth, Damon turned back into a white panther, and Shanna standing in his way, he had no time for hesitation. Weace needed to save his family.He took a deep breath and reflected on all the knowledge he'd gathered while stooped away back at home. The information came to him slowly, but as soon as the solution clicked, he whipped out his wand and pointed it at Shanna."I'm going to kick your ass if you come a step closer," Weace warned.Half of i
