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

“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

Hybrid?” Sarian asks, sounding confused.I nod. “I’ve only found one book with the information, but the traits listed are exactly what belongs to a Hybrid. A perfect match between vampire, and lycan. And believe me, they were dead on with the effects of his venom.” I shudder. “Fortunately there are no further effects.”“Can you show me the book?” He asks.I close my book as I nod. I pull the requested book out of my small pile and hand it to him. “Page fifteen.” I say as I go back to reading.“Isaac , you are aware where Mike bit you?” Sarian asks, worry going through him as he keeps reading.“Yep,” I say, letting my ‘p’ pop, not looking up.“So are you aware that protecting you has just become more important than ever?” He asks.“Are you protecting me, or are ordering me?” I ask, looking up with a serious glance on my face.His face is torn as he is trying to figure out how to phrase his answer. “Honey, I’m going to be honest with you. The options are always difficult with you, no m

“Wait what?” I ask. “You kept tabs on me?”“Don’t be mad at us,” she says, leading me into a glistening room with water reflecting onto the white ceiling. A round bed is next to a pool of flowing water that leads out into the ocean; the flowing water circling a coral tree with plush cushions on top of each branch before exiting. I have a walled closet filled with clothes that are updated. A shell shaped vanity holds pearled brushes and pins. A massive black bed is in the corner for an already snoring Wilson. I forgot how much I missed my room.She takes my hand and smiles at me. “We wanted to make sure you were safe. We were wrong to assume you’d fail, and it was a privilege watching you thrive in your dream. I know it has to hurt you to give it up, and we should have let you pursue it sooner.”I give her a confused look. “Give it up?”“You are taking the throne Isaac , aren’t you?” She asks wearily.I take a deep breath. “Only if you let me use my remaining time to track down Mike a

“Ha ha,” I deadpan while my fathers chuckle.“Where was she found?” Charliean asks.“The Aullirian Library.” Sarian answers. “Doing research on Mike .”“Well?” Avanja asks impatiently. “What did you find out?”I force a firm voice, though I hate talking through magic channels. “Mike is actually a Hybrid.”Every single royal’s face pales, except for the trio behind me. “Yep, half vampire and half lycan. He originates from one of the packs that the Sunmoon slaughtered. He and his mother are the only recorded survivors. All the victims belong to the omegas that were dispersed from that pack. The fact that they were all high on the totem pole is what is astonishing.”“It’s an unlikely coincidence,” Lavar agrees, his face pale. “Why can’t I remember his name?”Isabow is confused too. “It’s familiar, but I can’t recall it.”“Well the mother is Elaine Moon and Mike Moon is the one doing all of this. They were sent to live with Miyla in the Cripson Mountains.”“Elaine?” Isabow asks, her eye
