“By the gods you taste amazing.” His groans of approval keep me gushing for him as he doesn’t let up.
Panting, he comes back up over me. “Hope you’re not tired, because I’m having my way with you all night.”
Grinning at him, “Then take me Dagan, just take me.”
**
Waking up I look over to a sleeping Dagan. Releasing him from the dungeon was the right thing to do. Getting to know him over the last month has been refreshing, I know he’s remorseful over what he did when he first met me. Laying in bed next to him is different from our first time, although we christened every inch of my room after dinner.
A knock comes to the door and Lilith pokes her head in and whispers, “We must talk my dear.” She whispers loud enough for me to hear her. I nod and slowly and carefully remove myself from Dagan’s arms, hoping not to wake him.
Once out of the bed I stiffen as he moves slightly. Phew, he’s back to snoring. That’s something that is gonna be difficult to get used to. I don’t sleep next to snoring people.
Quickly putting on a white nightdress and my robe I move to the door, with one last look to Dagan I smile and close the door behind me.
“You’ve had a fun night I take it?” Lilith asks, smiling.
I feel the blush and just nod. “What is it that you wished to talk about?” I ask her.
“Well, as you know, your birthday is tomorrow.” I nod, “Which means I must prepare you for what’s to come. At this time, you must be away from Dagan because once the witching hour hits you must find your next mate. As he’s waiting.”
I frown, “What do you mean he’s waiting? And who is he?”
“He arrived earlier this evening, when you and Dagan were having playtime. He’s in his room now preparing as well. He knows about what is going on and what has happened.”
“So what does this mean, should I go meet him now?”
She smiles a crooked smile, “No my dear, you are to go into a different room for the rest of the night, you will meet him once you come into your powers. You need to rest after what you and Dagan have done, get showered, but put that night dress back on, it’s what I have seen you wearing in my visions.”
I look down at myself and realize I’ve had dreams like this as well, wearing this exact outfit, I didn’t even think when I put it on. “When Dagan wakes up, what is he going to think?” Feeling somewhat guilty in what’s going to happen once I turn thirty.
“It will all be fine, he will understand. I must go now myself; the coven is meeting at the witching hour, and we will be celebrating your matings as you meet your second. Oh and by the way, his name is Ryder. This way you know ahead of time his name.” She gives me a wink and I giggle.
She opens a door and I go in; I notice it’s not as big as my other room, but it still has a beautiful view. “This is where you will be transforming, it’s an added-on room I installed this evening, knowing it would be destroyed.” She laughs
“What do you mean destroyed?”
“If your transition goes anything like mine did, or any other witch in existence, it’s going to be destructive. Most witches choose to be outside during their change, but I’ve found it’s easier to destroy a room instead of a forest.” She gives me a towel and a hairbrush. “There are soaps and things in the washroom, this was the only thing I needed to add, you take your time, you get some rest, and I’ll see you in the morning.” She kisses my cheek and walks out of the room.
Well, this is going to be something, I guess.
Chapter 19
Lilith
“My dear, she’ll be fine, we’ll get her ready.” Marcus says to me, wrapping his arms around my waist.
“I know, I wish things could be different and that I had more time with our daughter, but it’s not looking like that will be.” The war is upon us, and I know the exact moment we die. I just wish I could see who will be the one to do it.
“Have you heard from Ravenna?” Cassius asks from the bed.
I shake my head, “No, and neither has Raven. I can’t imagine where she’s gone or what she’s doing. You’d think since she practically raised Raven she’d be here helping out on this journey.”
Raven’s birthday is in just three short hours, the witching hour. Her powers will be beautiful, I’m sure of it. I might not be in the room with her as she comes into herself, but I’ve seen it.
“You guys will be waiting outside her door the minute it happens?” I ask my men.
They all nod. “Good, and we need to make sure Dagan is calm, he won’t like that his mate will be seeking out another.”
