to.”
The emotions coming from Isaac were a confusing mix of concern, sadness, and apprehension. “What’s wrong, Isaac?” Chantay asked. “What did they tell you?”
He was swept away by the idea that he might have found his mate, but he couldn’t focus on his own feelings now. Isaac obviously needed his support.
“Remember when I mentioned growing up with Reed and my brothers’ kids?” When Chantay nodded, Isaac continued, “Well, it seems it occurred to my father that the best way to ensure succession for the elder position was by marrying me off to my niece. It seems the idea struck him after finding out about former Sidhe legislation.”
“I take it you refused and told them about me,” Chantay said, dazed at the idea the elder wolf had come up with.
Isaac reached for his hand and squeezed it. “I did, baby, but don’t get things wrong. You are my mate. I didn’t lie to get them off my back or anything like that.”
“I know,” Chantay replied with a smile. He leaned against Isaac, feeling warm inside. “You wouldn’t use me like that.”
And oddly enough, he did know. He might not be absolutely certain of his feelings for Isaac, but their bond was undeniable.
Chantay was considering how to approach Isaac regarding their future course of action when he felt something was not quite right. He tensed, scanning the gardens within his sight for any intruder.

he grasped from the guests at the meeting, there was something else, a dark hatred watching.
“What is it, baby?” Isaac asked, obviously sensing his mood.
Chantay wished he knew. He couldn’t identify the exact source of the feeling, not with so many people around. He felt exposed out in the open like this. Perhaps he should go call Alexis. Alexis was one hundred percent incubus, and he might be able to detect something Chantay didn’t.
“Let’s go inside, please, Isaac. I just have a bad feeling, okay?”
“Sure, baby.” Isaac started to pull him back, seeming alarmed.
“Come on. We’ll go to your room.”
Isaac obviously trusted Chantay’s assessment of the situation, something which relieved Chantay greatly. As they fled the unknown threat outside, Chantay tried to send his energies to scan the manse grounds. His eyes widened as a wave of power assaulted him, fighting back against his untrained abilities.
With a small cry, Chantay fell against Isaac, his mind attacked by never-ending waves of dark emotion. Isaac caught him and held him tight, and in the ocean of pain, only Isaac’s existence anchored Chantay. The half wolf’s voice reached Chantay through a veil of agony, but it reached him nonetheless. And in that moment, Chantay knew Isaac was right. He and Isaac were mates. If Chantay managed to live through this, he would not waste a moment before telling Isaac and bonding with him the way they both wanted.

A woman and a boy walked by the Cunningham mansion, hand in hand. The child held an ice-cream cone, seemingly enjoying it very much. But as they got out of earshot of the guards stationed at the gate, the boy abandoned his treat and chuckled.
“I truly do love these people,” he said in a voice that sounded far too mature for someone his age. “They’re so predictable.”

His supposed mother smiled adoringly at him. “They’re no match for you, my love.”
“I must say, shifters and incubi are such idiots,” the child answered seriously. “To this day, I can’t believe they let me go, just like that.”
“They had no idea who you were,” the woman pointed out. “They must have thought you were just a particularly precocious boy.”
The child laughed. “But you know different, don’t you, darling?”
“Indeed.” The woman smirked. “Worry not, my love. These creatures are beings of instinct. The only thing we need to do to turn them against each
