“Tell her, Dom,” Nico ordered with a sigh.“You may be king, brother, but you are not my king, so watch the way you speak to me! If your sister does not surrender, Ryan, we will have to take out the threat by any means necessary.” Dom cast his eyes downward, clearly anticipating my unhappiness.My blood started to boil, and my hands started to glow blue. Alex and Chase jumped back, and before I knew what I was doing, I raised my hands at the four men in front of me and blasted the whole lot of them across the room. Nico crashed into the far wall, and Dom smacked into the door and then crashed to the ground with a groan. Jackson was blasted through the nearest window, and Melakai hit the book shelf and collapsed the shelves, sending books cascading down on his slumped body.“Holy fuck, Ry! You just smashed the shit out of them without even trying,” Chase said with

 “Oh and let’s not forget about the whole marriage thing.”“Wait, what marriage thing?” I asked.“Well, Stevie wanted to rule overall, so she thought that if she could get your dad to pass the crown onto her after he took out Jackson and Randall, she could then approach the fae king and offer an alliance through marriage.” I was boiling now, and I could feel my magic rising. How dare she think that she could go and marry my Nico!“What the fuck do you mean, my Nico?” barked Chase. Oops. With a sigh, I began to explain how I knew Nico.“You know how Melakai came to me in my dreams?” They both gave me a nod, so I continued.“Well Nico use to come to me in my dreams, as well; that’s why I knew who he was when we went to Farrarie.”“Wai

 I sat down on the grassy bank, buried my face in my hands, and cried. I was crying for the shit mother I’d had, and my crappy childhood; for my dad dying before I ever got a chance to get to know him. For the sister I just got back and then lost again. It seemed like there was always someone who wanted to hurt me, from my mom, to my sister, then Randall, and now the wolves.I just couldn’t understand how I could be so disposable to everyone. I was sobbing so loud I didn’t realize people had arrived until one of them put a hand on my shoulder. I didn’t know who it was, and I didn’t care. Let them kill me and allow me to be done with all this. I just kept my head buried in my hands and continued sobbing.Strong arms came around me and lifted me up. I moved my hands away from my face and saw that it was Jackson that had come for me. He didn’t say anything, he just sat down and held me in his lap while I cried. His big, war

“Yes, Ryan, it was the last gift he gave you.” I wanted to drop to my knees at the thought.“He also left you a message, I don’t know how he knew that you would meet a seer, but what he has to say will hurt you, so you must be prepared.”I didn’t think I would ever be ready for anything my dad had to say to me; I still haven’t opened the letter he left for me. I left that letter in my room at the cabin, I may never know what he had written now. I sighed.“Okay, Aurora, let’s do this.” I wasn’t sure why my dad would put a lock on my powers, but I knew he would have only done it to protect me.“You all need to back up, please, so I can begin. Ryan, I need you to relax and take a few deep breaths and just try to open your mind. I know it’s hard, but if you could just try it would make it a lot easier and less painful for yo

“The only person that could hurt me is you, mi amor. Don’t worry, I will be fine, but I will probably be gone for a few days, so don worry if I don’t come back straight away. The others will watch over you and keep you safe.”I didn’t want to say goodbye to Kai, and the words I wanted to say wouldn’t come out, so instead, I let my actions speak for me. I leaned up on my tip-toes and pulled Kai’s face down to mine and kissed him. He was stiff as a board for a second, as I think I caught him off-guard, but then he snapped, grabbing me by the waist and pulling me flush against his chest, and I couldn’t stop the moan that slipped free.Our tongues were intertwined and fighting for dominance. I needed more of him, and I went to put my hand under his shirt when a throat cleared and broke the spell that I was under. Kai reluctantly pulled back. That kiss was amazing. I looked over my shoulder to see where the no
