KALEN There were three new faces in the meeting. Nightshade will have three new Lamias when the twins and Angel take over. Axel was a strong warrior with great insight. Darius was Sera’s older brother who was a Trelinin Protector Fae/sphinx hybrid. He was extremely powerful. Ryker was the toughest human you would ever meet. He was a great warrior himself who shocked everyone with his ability and dedication. It made me realize that we would need to do the same thing for our Lamias whenever we eventually took over our own leadership. Dad had said he wanted to hand it over by the time that I turned twenty-one, so we had time. I was not in any rush to be passed the torch because I was still working through a lot of shit right now. When I was handed the floor, I painted the picture so that they could imagine being right there with us in the realm. Everyone paid close attention to each word I spoke. The Demigod bomb was dropped and amazed people. The best reaction was from Dad. He looked

KALEN Fate truly had an interesting way of bringing the right people together. During dinner last night, I explained to everyone that Angel had called for a large meeting this morning and explained what they had found out about the pack that belonged to the dude who kidnapped her. It sucked that Alpha had been her biological father, but now that pack was coming after her and Nightshade because Maxine, the backstabbing bitch, told them everything. Two weeks was about what Dahlia was estimating, given the information that she had been able to collect based on the correspondence between pack members. Luckily, she had been able to hack into it all with the electronics that had been gathered when the group saved Angel. Jaxon asked if he could come with us. I figured that it would be, but I asked Angel first. She said the more the merrier. When she said ‘meeting’ it had apparently meant a huge ass welcome breakfast for those who had come in from other packs. The thing that I had not an

MADDOX Clothes were inconsequential right now. I had never felt so relaxed before. Honestly, this was also the first time that I ever cuddled someone after the deed was done. We had not done anything further than some oral and bodily teasing, but it was the most intimate thing that I had ever experienced before. I also felt so much closer to her than ever before. It required a great deal of trust on her part to allow herself to be vulnerable like this with me. Knowing that she wanted to give me this part of herself also meant a great deal to me because I knew that she had never given that part of herself to anyone else. It also made me feel fairly fucking guilty because she waited for her mate, but I never did. Honestly, I did not think I could even guestimate how many females I had been with over the years. That was another kick in my gut. The only thing that I could say with absolute certainty was that at least Beauty would be the only one to ever bear my pups. I had made very fu

KALEN I rushed into the bedroom and looked around. I could still scent what we had gotten up to earlier. Goddess, that man was so damn talented. It sucks that others have experienced how good he was, but I would be the only one to keep him. The past would remain exactly right there. We would keep moving forward together. It would be together that we could get through anything. It was him, Neo, Nika, and me. The four of us would have each other until our final breath. I had already moved my clothes over here, so I looked through my lingerie options. I might have had Jade procure some for me whenever Maddox and I took steps towards intimacy. He did not seem to mind me completely naked instead wearing a sexy outfit. The hunger that had burned through his eyes and body had set my entire being aflame. Jade seriously outdid herself. I selected a turquoise baby doll. There was a lace floral pattern over the cups. The rest was see-through with a lace design on the hemline. There was a mat

KALEN He made me feel stronger and more secure in who I was. He gave me a great deal of confidence too. How could I not feel sexy and strong when he looked at me like he did? Mom was right that he looked at me like I was his everything. He had quickly become mine too. I was not certain when or how it happened, but it was the truth. I could be without many things, but I could not be without him. I was nervous as hell right now but also extremely eager to solidify our bond. We still had things to figure out when it came to the pack and all, but that could be done later. I would need to discuss it with Maddox, but I figured that I would just make him a co-Alpha like the Nightshade twins and Shadow Falls triplets. “I’m going to still once I’m through your barrier until you’re ready for me to move. Just focus on my ladder piercings,” he told me with a smirk. My eyes probably lit up with that thought because it was something that I truly could not wait to feel. Having it in my mouth gav
