I wave him off. “I’ll be fine. However, I’d keep an eye on your heir. If he went after Morgain, who we thought was the heir, he’ll go after Silas next.”Alier shakes his head. “For his safety, no one outside of his mothers, siblings, and I, knew he existed.”“I knew he existed.” I say. “Well, his name anyway.”“But not what he looked like.” Alier counters.“Please verify that no one knows him.” I say. “What do people know him as?”“A member of the royal guard.” Alier says. “He’s Leo’s subordinate, which is why he’s with Leo most of the time.”“Then I’ll keep that pretense.” I ignore the boys eyes as I turn fully to face Alier. “Since I’m unclear the direction these attacks will go now, I’ll need to resume my investigation again. It’s best I leave tonight to get a jump start on this.”Alier’s face goes straight to amused. “And miss the ball?”“A sacrifice I must make,” I say quickly, getting ready to take my leave.“Nope,” Alier says, taking my hand. “Ileen would be devastated if you l

“Isaac ,” She warns. “Humor me.” I groan while she adds on, “And don’t even think about going back into that water.” She quickly leaves the room after giving me a piercing stare. Silas is wearing a red robe, looking more uncomfortable than I am annoyed.He rubs the back of his head. “So…why isn’t Wilson going for my head this time?”“You were with Leo.” I explain, touching my slimy tail, watching it shrink. It takes longer than my arms, since my legs have grown and molded together. It’s a reaction that happens when I go into the water. Air destroys my webbing and scales, while water makes it expand.“What is it with you two?” He asks, coming to sit next to me.“Well, one, he slept with my sister while we were dating. And two, he told my parents that I was enrolling with the Guardian Committee full time.” I flip my wet hair, a little annoyed it’s only halfway dry. When you’re part fish, everything dries fast.“Why is being with the Guardian’s a bad thing?” Silas asks, looking intrigued

I tense, hoping I can finally get my answers on who he is; but force myself to appear relaxed. “Do you know what he looked like? Where he went?”She shakes her head, putting her hand on her forehead; hidden under a partial sun mask. “Oddly enough, I don’t know. I can only recall his name. It’s not common these days so it stuck in my mind.”More amnesia? “Are you sure? Do you know if he had a scar?”“Who dear?” She asks, her posture changing, appearing more as if she’s gossiping at a party instead of discussing her son’s potential murderer.“Mike ,” I say, shooting Alier a concerned look.She waves me off. “I’ve never heard that name before. Alier, where is Morgain? You promised you had news.” She pushes me out of the way, stepping closer to Alier. “Where is my son Morgain?”“Miyla, Morgain passed away.” Alier says, surprise evident in his voice.“What?” She yells, drawing attention as she starts hysterically sobbing.“Mi…” Ileen says, looking at me, unsure what to do.When more eyes a

He pours the red liquor into a thin glass. I take the flute glass as I lean in, kissing him on the cheek. “I’ll be back.” I promise him in a low, seductive voice. If they want to throw me into a room filled with horny men, then I can play this game. I’m nowhere near the only female here, but I plan to make it feel as if they wish I wasn’t even allowed in this room.The second I turn around, I see Alier and Ileen walking down the stairs, with a limping Leo and concerned looking Silas. Maybe I stomped on Leo’s foot one too many times. Nah. Alier locks eyes with mine, stopping in the middle of the stairs. He clears his throat, eye contact never breaking. The glare I’m giving him could be lethal.Alier claps his hands. “Welcome my friends, to the Solstice Masquerade Ball. It warms my heart to see so many of you that I know, and love, gathered into one room. I would also like to announce with great sadness that Prince Morgain will be unable to attend tonight. He is engaged in some other co

I give a genuine laugh, causing him to smile. “I feel the exact same way. I’d rather spend my days doing what I love, then screwing around with someone.”He grins. “In that case, do you mind if I take pleasure in your company tonight? To spare me from them,” He asks, nodding his head towards the pack of girls that haven’t even moved.“Be my guest. It’ll shield me as well.” I say as I take a sip of my drink. It’s strong and tastes of strawberries. It’s surprisingly delightful, and a little stale. I hadn’t taken a sip of it all night.“So you’re part of the Guardian Committee?” Greifi asks, trying to stir conversation.“Do you really want to start off with that question?” I ask, making him grimace.“Yeah, that was lame.” He chuckles, rubbing the back of his head.“How about we talk about you? What do you do Greifi? Where are you from?”“Lusole actually. I work on the border patrol of the Sunmoon pack. I’m their Gamma.”Sunmoon? Well they do have a lot of packs in that territory. “Nice.”

He shakes his head. “My servants will bleed themselves for me, whenever I have need of their services. However, they’re weak, which is why you see me losing control of my shift earlier than I anticipated.”“Then why kill them?” I demand.“Because I can then store their power and use it whenever I have need of it.”“That’s insane and impossible.”“Not when you know the correct spells.” He smirks. “Would you like me to show you? You should faint here in a moment. It’s astonishing you haven’t yet. Usually those I bite are down before I remove my teeth.”“Then lets see if I can kill you before that happems,” I say, realizing my words just slightly slurred. Well crap.“Isaac ,” I hear someone that sounds an awful lot like Silas yell.“Isaac !” I hear Alier yell. “Guards!”“Until the next bite,” Mike says, starting his run.“Go after him!” I yell, swaying just a little.Alier reaches me, and I just realized Sarian is with him as well. “What happened?” he demands as I put pressure on my sti
The Special People Chapter 69
“We don’t know that for sure,” Silas responds in a hard tone. “Alier said Isaac said Mike was able to use a shapeshifter’s ability by drinking its blood. Do you think he used it again and tried to go after her in the infirmary?”“How can he even do that?” Leo demands. “I know you can’t do that, and I don’t think your old man can or you.”“I don’t know.” Silas yells, where I then hear a sudden crack.“Careful. This is balham country. You’ll be dead before you see them, so do not offend them. I’m not surprised that Isaac chose to surface in Aqina. The balham are especially protective of her.”“What if we track Wilson then?”Leo snorts. “Good luck with that. Balhams have scent pockets in their feet that cover their smell to others, but other balhams can pick up on it.”He groans. “Where would she have gone?”“How should I know?”“You dated her!” Silas snaps.“Yeah, and look how well our breakup is going.” Leo barks back.“To be fair, you kind of deserve it. Why did you want to break u

First stop, I go to the section containing spells. I find nothing regarding amnesia. Okay, let’s look at venom. My fingers scan the section, looking for books regarding poison, venom, potions. Anything. None of them contain what I’m looking for. My next stop is in regard to ferals. I want to find if ferals can truly talk, or if Morgain wasn’t fully turned.One passage catches my eye: “Ferals are creatures that are cursed for forsaking the Gods and Goddesses. They are a cross of vampire and demon, designed to kill and feed on humanoid prey. It is believed that the original feral was a vampire, who performed spells to make it stronger, in order to kill the Vampiric Goddess’s daughter. The spells backfired and created a creature so gruesome, that all feared it. When the Goddess learned of this, she put a curse on the creature. To always be feared and crave nothing but blood and death. “Contact with a feral’s venom is a painful death. Once in contact with the victim’s blood stream, their

If there is a chance behind that cold wall he is capable of feeling rejection, I don’t really want him to feel it from me. I don’t want to be the one who gave up. I will be careful, but right now I want him to know I want to try.So, I reach out and grasp his hand in mine.He smiles sleepily. “Much better”“You know his lips look a little cold too”“Levi!” Isaac grumbles.“I thought I was the wing man?” Levi shrugs.Isaac doesn’t look that upset... I think I might even see a hint of a smile as I chuckle at the two of them. Soon Isaac leans his head back again and falls asleep.I’ll just hold his hand a little longer.-May“She is gonna be here any minute” I mumble against his lips as they tease mine.My mate responds by groaning in protest and pulling me closer causing me to giggle.It’s not like I wasn’t already crammed against him in the small play house that rests just inside the woods behind Robert’s parents’ home.I typically have higher standards for make-out locations.

“Alright party people, lets get this show on the road!” I giggle nervously and nod before chancing a glance behind at Isaac . He meets my eyes looking tired but other wise emotionless. I eye him narrowly with a glare and let my frustration flood the link between us, unsure if he was even paying attention through that thick wall of his.Turning I adjust myself in my seat and pull out my phone to keep me busy on the drive.I had been working on my linking while my family was still here but with them gone and me not yet being a part of Isaac and Levi’s pack – if I ever become apart of it- I was unable to practice or use the link for the last few days. Only Isaac would be able to talk to me now and we both have been avoiding that.I imagine that the link or bond I have with Isaac works in a similar way to a pack link, and I could learn to keep him out if I try. I don’t get how I have started to be able to keep my thoughts to myself in wolf form but Freddy, Chris and Alpha Cold heart ca

I chose not to make eye contact with Isaac as he is wheeled out of the make shift hospital. I had just finished loading up a few things in the car to make this trip easier.It has almost been a week since he was poisoned but the recovery has been slow. Isaac still spends most of his time sleeping and it frustrates him to be so weak. The slightest activity seems to make him tired.It frustrates ME that he is a stubborn ass.My mate has spent his every waking moment pushing himself by dealing with pack business and trying to get out of bed. I took pity on him the first night he had ripped his IVs out and caused a commotion, now I know I shouldn’t have.He has been such a handful. Willfully disregarding Greta’s orders to the point that I was on board when she threatened to strap him down two days ago.Boy did that Idea go over well.Lucky for Isaac Levi took pity on him and talked us down.I roll my eyes remembering how ridiculous he was being yelling at us to stop babying him and hol

I squeeze my eyes shut, willing more power to be put into the spell, “Summer wood and deity ties, bring these lines to boundaries defined. Expand this protection with the flow of desired correction. Right to what has been outlined.”I hear Silas shout and Wilson growl. I start shouting the spell. “Summer wood and deity ties, bring these lines to boundaries defined. Expand this protection with the flow of desired correction. Right to what has been outlined.”“Stop Isaac !” Mike begs. “You can’t stop this spell.“Stay away from her,” Silas orders.“Please!” He screams as he begs.I feel the thunder shake the ground, and I open my eyes in enough time to see lightning strike the center of the anchor in the ward as it shatters. The earth turns black and spreads out from under me, killing the trees and grass within a mile of us.I pant as my hands clench the dead earth. Sweat has beaded on my forehead, and I try to catch my breath as the boys struggle behind me. I get to my feet very shaki

I give Mike my wrist, my blood still freely flowing. “Squeeze my blood onto each paper and say; Deliver these to Goddess Kaelish, protector of Linru. Bring what’s true in this discovered news.”He gives me a questioning look, and I didn’t miss that his neck is tense. “Why?”“Because I can’t.” I motion to my bonds.He gives me a cautious look, trying to determine if he can trust me. “Why?”“You literally have me chained to a bed, just trust me.” I say, glaring at him.Mike follows my instructions, nearly jumping out of his skin as the pages start smoking. “What are you doing Isaac ?”“Relax,” I say, the flames turning turquoise, signaling they’ve been received. When Kaelish accepts them, the flames dissipate, leaving the pages in their original state. I hand them back to him. “There, now it’s in Kaelish’s hands.”“How much magic do you actually know?” Mike asks, looking me over as if he’s seeing me for the first time.I shrug. “Almost everything. I can’t speak the original spells, b

When I find them, huddled behind Isongarth’s statue, they are clearly talking about me. I’m in no mood to explain myself, though I really should tell Silas about Alier. That can wait until after my very much needed nap.I ignore their conversation and surprised expressions as I sit down cross legged next to Silas. Skipping past looking at them, slightly annoyed they’re talking about me, I pull out a sariah petal and wipe it against one of my bloody wounds. I lay it next to me and bring a trail of salt to it, linking the other spells. I look to Leo. “Repeat after me.”After he nods, I prick my finger and pour seawater over the new wound, right over the sariah petal I had just placed, chanting as I pour. “Summer wood and deity ties, bring these lines to boundaries defined. Expand this protection with the flow of desired correction. Right to what has been outlined.”Leo starts copying me, touching my heart with his hand, flowing my power with his. “Summer wood and deity ties, bring these

“I will see you again. I will find out what you’re up to Isaac . I didn’t know you knew this much about magic, so it’s going to take me a minute.”“I’m more than the girl that you keep trying to sink your teeth into.” I tell him, walking away from him. “I know more than fighting.”“Wait,” He grunts, trying to sit up. “Did you really know Elayna?”I look behind me, trying to keep my face cold. I hold up my hand and wipe off some blood from my wrists. I point to the healed dainty fang marks. “For two years I kept her alive with my blood. Every second of every day we were together. She was a sister to me, and I miss her terribly. Her death nearly destroyed me. I knew everything about her, except for most of her family. I knew she had brothers, but nothing more than that. She would shut down and close herself off whenever that topic was broached, and I knew it was because she was purposely distancing herself so not to hurt them.“Before you ask, she never did tell me about you.

Well, I’m dead anyway. I walk into his room to quickly skim through his books. Nothing here can tell me what blasted spell he’s using. I need to think. Something here has to help me escape. I’ve read all of these books! I kick his bed as I try to think. Think Isaac , I shout internally as I try to slow my breathing. I kick his bed again and here a thump. I look under the bed and see Yvanna’s book. It was tucked underneath his mattress, pinned by a board. I grab it and tuck it into my bag as I try to think. I mean outside of using forbidden magic.Several hours later I’m still at a loss and trapped in this god forsaken room. The windows are sealed. His bedroom door is now locked. The only thing I can go into, is his adjoining bathroom. My head is resting against the warm wall while I sit on his surprisingly warm floor. I keep hitting my head against the wall as I try to think. Maybe if I pretend to be here waiting for him, like a loving mate, then he’ll let me off the hook. Nah.I hear
