LeviI stopped at a hotel in the middle of the night, sleeping five hours before getting on the road again. It took me two more days to get to Nunavut to the area where Bjorn and his daughters live.When I got out of the car, Bjorn walked up.“I wondered when I’d see you?”“Are they here?” I ask.“No, but they were and before you ask, I don’t know where they went. Hope wouldn’t tell me because she said you’d ask and she didn’t want me to have to lie.”I slump against the car.“Do you know why she went away?”He shrugs. “She said it was temporary. That’s all she told me.”“Tanya was with her?” I ask.“Yes. They stayed for a couple of days.”“Where could they be?” I whisper, looking around as if Hope might magically appear.“Have you checked with Tanya’s father?” he asks.“Yes, I went there first. Hello, ladies,” I say as Hope’s sisters come out to greet me.“She isn’t here,” Orsa says.“I know. But I have no idea where she might be. Did she say anything to any of you?” I ask.“No,” Orsa

TanyaMatthew approached me yesterday and asked if I was feeling like he was, like this place was healing me. I hadn’t considered that the change I was feeling was healing. For me, it felt like I was finally safe. For some reason, being surrounded by supernatural beings, even sweet, gentle beings like sprites, makes me feel safe in a way I haven’t since Micah kidnapped me.Maybe it’s Hope’s presence here. Maybe it’s that the elves are very tall and even through they’re lean, I’ve watched them sparring. They are all very powerful warriors. Or maybe it’s having a Guardian around. Whatever the reason, I feel safe again. The vice around my heart has finally eased and I feel like I can breathe.Of course, being in such a magical place makes me feel like I’ve landed in my own personal fairy tale. Everywhere I look, there is magic here. From elves, to sprites, to dryads, to giants, to Ceryneian Hinds, to unicorns, everything here is like something out of a fairy land book. I made the mistake

Bjorn“We leave tomorrow. First thing. Tanya’s private jet is at the airport in Winnipeg. It will take us all day to get there, but once we’re on the plane, we can relax,” she says.“Why don’t you tell us where we’re going,” I say.“The fae lands, a place called Araphyra. I could tell you how magical it is there, but it wouldn’t matter. You’ll never understand it until you see it.”“Well, you heard her girls. Let’s get packing.”I listen to my girls chattering excitedly about going someplace new. While I'm nervous, they seem excited.When they finally settle down and start to fall asleep, I look at Hope. “I’m trusting you to know that they’ll be safe where we’re going.”“I wouldn’t have suggested they come if it wasn’t. They will be safer there than they are here. As I said, the place is secret. Humans, other than Tanya and Matthew, have never stepped foot inside the fae lands.”After she falls asleep, I leave a message for Levi. I know he'll be back. I want him to at least know that w

LeviI’d searched everywhere I could think to find Hope. It’s not like she has friends all over the world or even in the packs. Hope always kept to herself. After going to everyone she knew twice, and finding Bjorn and her sisters gone, I knew I had to rethink my strategy of finding her. Where could she possibly have gone?I was in my apartment looking over a map, trying to decide where to search next, where Hope might have gone, when it hit me. The hybrids.We talked about searching for more hybrids. Maybe that’s where she went, although, I have no idea why she wouldn’t have included me in the search. But it would make sense that she took Bjorn and her sisters with her, especially if she found others that were related to Bjorn.I pulled out the information that I had on the laboratory and began looking through the list of ‘subjects’, identifying the males and females and then the ones the scientists had bred together. Bjorn was definitely a favorite, but there was also a lion shifter,

HopeI was shocked when my dad walked into the castle one morning mated to three sprites. They huddled around him, hugging him, and loving on him like sprites do when they’re mated. They love with their entire being, with their whole heart. Bjorn had already started to look and act different after Lily healed him. Being pain free had taken some of the gruffness away. But after mating to not one, but three sprites, the man actually started to smile.A part of me was thrilled to see it, while another was jealous. He found his happiness and I still need to wait for mine.“You’re an idiot, you know that?” Orsa says. We’re on our way to WoodLily, King Dominic’s kingdom, to see Tanya. Bjork and Artis stayed behind. Artis has taken a liking to the very extensive library in Araphyra. The leprechaun, Buppig, who basically runs the library and is quite the scholar in elvish and other supernatural history, was thrilled. He was happy to show her anything she wanted to read and discuss any question
