Liza's POV
“What does my father have to do with this? My father is dead.” I asked my mother confused.
“I was hoping we would have had more time to discuss this. Liza it is time for you to know the truth. You, Alaric, and Dominic have already been through so much recently. I was waiting until the perfect timing, but now is better than any. We all need to discuss this, privately.” Morgana replied with a heavy sigh.
We decided to head back to our castle since Dominic was there with Aero. The entire way back to the castle my mind was a complete mess. What does my father have to do with this? He is dead, isn’t he? The Army never found his body they just assumed he had blown up with his vehicle. I am so lost in my thoughts; I didn’t notice Alaric talking to me.
“Huh? Sorry babe I was lost in my mind. How could my fathe
Alaric’s POVWith everything that has been going on the search for the missing women, the project to keep Liza and other females safe, plus training Liza to defend herself we haven’t had time to prepare for the wedding. I have spent most of my days in the office speaking with the appointed council members, and today is no different.“We have to continue to keep our eyes open for the women of the shifter community. Firstly, the wolf shifters, as they are the only ones to report anyone missing. We must also pry the information from each of our own communities to make sure no one is left out. Some may be reluctant to come forward given the past reputation of the council. With that the meeting is adjourned we will meet back same time next week.” I finish concluding today’s meeting.“Oh, Amanda, can you stay behind a second? There is something I need t
Liza's POVWe quickly made our way to Alaric’s study to meet with the guards.“Where did you locate the note?” Alaric asked them halfway through the door.“It was in the gardens. On the Queens favorite rose bush.” Replied the Captain.I was shocked, why that rose bush out of all the other’s? It us my favorite because it’s a baby blue rose bush, I planted in memory of my father and brothers.“What does the note say?” I asked, scared to hear it.Everything was seemingly perfect. We got the wedding date set, the perfect gown, and all that was left was the place. I had my hopes set on this wedding, but I couldn’t help the feeling something big was about to happen.“To the beautiful Queen,
Alaric’s POV I stand there amazed, and feeling a little guilty. If I had known they were still here I would have come back sooner. As the years went by I seemed to have forgotten this place existed. “Luna was a gift from my grandmother before she passed away. I was keeping her in this garden as it’s protector. When I found my mate, I had planned on gifting her on our wedding day. She would then lead my mate back to this garden.” I stated as I ran my fingers through her beautiful violet mane. “I am so sorry girl, I forgot to come visit. I didn’t know you were still here waiting.” I apologized rubbing her lovingly. These fairies have always been over the top. It warms my heart seeing all these beautiful creatures in perfect harmony. Liza is right, this is the perfect place for us. Just like the fairy Queen and her followers, the garden fairies began dancing arou
Wedding DayLisa’s POVI still can’t believe we have to rush the wedding, but mostly because I have to mate in dragon form in front of everyone. Mom has added a few finishing touches to my dress magically of course. I keep staring at the woman in the mirror not recognizing her. I just wished my dad and brothers were here. Tears threaten to escape when Amanda starts shouting.“Oh no you don’t. Don’t you go ruin my master piece, or do you want to sit for another four hours redoing it all?” She huffed with her hands on her hips.Throwing my hands up in surrender I shake my head.“No way. Just thinking of dad.” I sadly admit.I had always though he would be the one to walk me down the isle. Dominic volunteered to in his place, but still it hurt knowing
I’minthewoods running when I smell her again. Thatscent is so alluring my wolf sped up trying to locate her. Just up ahead there she was.My dream angel. Her solid white fur, the purple swirls matching my own blue ones acontrast to the evergreen forest.She knowsI am here, she looks my way, then takes off.She enjoys the cat and mouse game as much asI do. I keep going until I almost get her. Thistime she doesn’t disappear. There is abeautiful woman standing there stroking herfur.“Hello Dominic. We have been waiting for you.”“Who are you? Whyare you both in my dreams?”“My child, I am Serene. I have heard your cries for a mate. One of your own. However, now is not the time todiscuss this. You must go back; you must save the missing females. Things are much worse than they appear! Call all the packs, spread the wo
Liza“Come back here you slut!” yells my step father. “When I get my hands on you, I promise you, that you will regret it.”Running thru the dark streets, I can’t believe I got away! I can hear my heartbeat pumping in my ears, but I have to keep moving. If my step father catches me, I know he will finish what he started in my bedroom. No!! I can’t go back.'I just need to make it to Amanda's house. There, I can be safe, until I can figure out what to do,!'I say to myself.I kept running as fast as I could down the road. To my right, I noticed the short cut Amanda and I always took when we were younger, so I headed straight for it. I can’t shake the feeling that I am being watched, and I just hope and pray my step father hasn’t caught up to me.As I round the corner I duck behind the dumpster, just as I hear footsteps approaching
One year Ago... Liza I wake up, my body still sore from being mom's punching bag last night. I slowly sit up in bed, wincing from the pain. I ignore it the best I can, as I continue to accept that this is my new life. I can still taste the blood on my tongue from the split lip, I slowly make my way into the bathroom. I turn the water on in the tub as hot as I can stand it, trying to ease some of the stiffness. Slowly I undress and begin to inspect the damages.Looking in the mirror, I can see the bruising on my chest and stomach,yeap a few broken ribs, dried blood down the side of my face from the busted lip, black eye and more bruises across my back.(Hell, you could play tic-tac-toe the way they conmected.)I slowly lower myself in the tub, biting my lip as the water burns the cuts. Mom didn't always treat me li

Always throwing themselves at us. None can ever pass the test and it’s tiring! If we don’t mate soon our line dies with us!’ Alaric states.'Ugh!
