Lamia and Kellen return to a realm different from what they left. Overrun with Senko’s creations and monsters from the underworld, they have one goal as they struggle to come to terms with their new identities. To rid the realm of Aodh and send him back to the hell hole he came from. They had faced Aodh once before in their past lives. This time round is different. They remember everything and hope they can defeat him this time. Not just for their future but the future of their realm. Love and bonds need to be healed while they prepare for a war that could cost them everything. Determined to ensure a peaceful future, Queen Lamia will stop at nothing to ensure the god of the underworld doesn’t get his hands on her or her immortal child.

Finn was going to head back to the Clan Mansion, Soon Mike, Kellen, Tala, and Lyric would go back to New Moon.It was too short a time with everyone.We were going to meet back up in New Moon in less than three weeks, but it wasn’t going to be fun, we were preparing for war. Until then I had a lot to think about.Last night the girls filled me in on so much that I missed it. Part of me was happy that I had had those years with Kellen away from it all. The other part was saddened that they went through everything on their own.I had taken the opportunity to see Prince Connor. Holding him only made me miss my triplets even more.As I walked from the dining room, going back to my suite, I walked past Travis’s office, the door was ajar and stopped when I heard his voice. He was speaking low and I couldn’t tell if he was using a phone or had someone in there.Just as I
KELLENAccidentally hitting Tala and hurting her, knocked some sense into me.With languid strides, I find myself in the Northside gardens. The furthest place away from mine and Tala’s room. But not too far.Slumping onto a bench that faces the tree line of thick forest, I cover my face with my hands. The imagery of what just happened replayed in my head.I feel a push on at the front of my brain and half expect to receive a mind link. But nothing comes. I realize it’s Lamia searching me out. She could feel my emotions. Instead of blocking her, I let her probe away. I wanted her to feel the shame and guilt that was running amuck inside me.In a sick sadistic way, I hoped she would come find me and kick my ass. Or at least send Mathias to do the job. I deserved it.Groaning out loud at my stupidity and leaning back, dragging my palms down my face, I remember exactly what set me off in the first place.Fucking Oliver. I loathed that piece of shit. The very thought of him had my nerves s
LAMIATawny hands me a drink and in exchange takes Seneca from my lap and begins to fuss over her, muttering something along the lines of how boys were more trouble.From what I have learned of her twin boys, they were definitely trouble. With a capital T. Though, she explained how Gillian and Tristan handle them and their antics well.My thoughts wander to the triplets, drowning out Lyric as she explains her communication devices and how they have been issued to all New Moon warriors that have been sent to Bhakhil.Three years or a thousand years was a long time no matter which. I wanted nothing more than to go home to Riocht and see my babies. Amali was probably giving her brothers trouble by now and I couldn’t think how Zachary and Maximus had grown and how big they were.Part of me felt foreign to my own children, nervous and scared that they wouldn’t know me. I don’t think I could take it if they shied away from me when I finally saw them.Would they accept their sister? Have they
KELLEN“I still don’t trust a darn thing that comes out of his mouth. He’s a lying conniving murderer.” I could say so much more but bite my tongue, only because I’m fed up with thinking about the rogue criminal.I hoped to the goddess Lamia wouldn’t entertain any thoughts of letting him lose. If it wasn’t for Tala, I would be in the mind to throttle the fucker and then rip his head off myself.Memories of my parents come to the forefront of my mind as I wander back to the main part of the castle lagging behind the group. The sight of my father dying on his bed as the serum took over his body plagued me. It always had.The break in my connection to him was still fresh as the day it happened when I drove that dagger into his heart. Instead of sadness, as it had been in the past, raw anger began to trickle out. I clenched my fists trying to quell it down.But why should I? Why should I harbor my feelings and keep them locked up when the New Moon Kingdom was still waiting for justice over
OLIVERIn my peripheral vision, I could see Travis roughly swallow, being caught in a lie. A lie that was meant to protect Petra and myself.He did not need to do that. He was only putting himself in a bad light and I didn’t want that for him.Glancing over the Queen's shoulder I could see the watery yellow eyes of Petra. My little Sunshine. The one for whom I was doing all this. If it hadn’t been for her, I would never have taken in the Changelings. I would have walked away and left the realm to defend itself.Except, if I had done that, Aodh would take over and there wouldn’t be a place where I could live out my days in peace. There would be no realm.So yeah, I wanted Lamia back. We, all of us, needed her back.“Believe it or not, I am glad you have returned and that our efforts weren’t for nothing.” I lift my hand, turning it and inspecting it. It would never be the same, forever deformed. A small price to pay for my life.I shake my head, dismissing the thoughts that come to mind
LAMIA“Please my Queen,” The pathetic excuse of existence begs as my hand coils around his neck tighter, cutting off his air supply. If I had my sword, I would have already chopped his head off.“Please,” He begs again, his dank yellow eyes conveying his plea. “We submit, we bow to you, our queen. We want to help you fight. We can help.”“You can help by dying.” I spit at him, squeezing tighter until he gasps for breath and claws at my hand.His skin begins to turn a shade pink and his eyes fade to almost clear before turning a shade of pale blue.“Lamia stop!” I hear Rhetts panicked voice from behind me. Suddenly, his mate stands in front of me, her face half shifted into her Lycan form. Her arms are black and thick with magic that pours from her fingertips.“No mercy will be shown to our enemies.” I seethe, warning against my own actions. “Give me a reason why they shouldn’t all die.”“Put him down!” Leneve yells, trying to wedge between me and the changeling.I look at the Half Lyca
LAMIAI was slowly becoming used to the connection I shared with everything in this realm. The air, the sun, the moon, the way the tree swayed as if they spoke their own secret language. How a simple act of dressing could be so awakening, from the feel of the fabric on my skin to the smell of the detergent and scent of Mrs. Brown or other maids that touched the garments.Yet nothing could compare to the way Mathias felt against me, inside me, or the way his scent tantalized my taste buds and heightened my physical arousal. Or the way his very presence could cull my inner thoughts from acting out.I could hear Seneca’s screams from here and feel Kellen’s despair at not being able to help her. I sensed Mathias’s rising anger and the pain he felt in his chest.I was ready to intervene when Seneca stopped screaming. My heart warmed as my connection to Mathias blossomed through his bonding with our daughter. I felt it as if I was meeting and recognizing a mate for the first time.I was unaw
MATHIASThreading through MacTire’s hallways, making my way down to the main floor, I can’t help but look down at my hands. Turning them over and inspecting the deep lines and rough skin.I felt different this morning. Strong. Complete. There was an exultation in me that hadn’t been there for the last three years. I knew what the answer was, why I was feeling more me than I have in years.It was Lamia.I had felt the anger and rage inside me simmer when I was with her. The defeat and shame had melted away with her touch.She was right. We were stronger together. I could only see that now. Before, when I had idiotically decided to face Aodh and dragged Finn into it, I was deluded by my own mind to think I could defeat him without my queen.Lamia’s absence had weakened me. Not physically as such, but mentally and that weakness smeared itself all over me. This caused me to think just because I was the King of Alpha’s, that I could take on a god.I didn’t have fears. I am the biggest and
LAMIA “Why didn’t you tell me?” I begin questioning Mathias once Kellen and Mike have left, ignoring the scowl on Mathias's face as Kellen walks out holding Seneca. “Mathias!” I snap, gaining his attention. “Why didn’t you tell me?” I question once more, crossing my arms and glaring at my Atman with intensity. “Why would you even attempt…” “What was I supposed to do?” He explodes, his face reddening by the second. “I’m the Alpha of fucking Alphas!” He jabs his chest, stepping over the shattered plates and glasses, avoiding the food that splattered across the floor. “If not me, then who?” “And Finn?” “That was his choice. Aodh needed to be stopped.” “Not at the cost of your life!” I retort, angered by his stupid decision. “You don’t get it, Lamia! You weren’t here. This realm is suffering, ALL kingdoms are under attack, he will destroy this realm. When we failed to bring you back after the first try, it was all that could be done. You do not get to stand there and dictate what I
