Hella is one witch who is done with relationships. Having rid herself of a clingy nymph, she’s determined to stay single and savour everything her fae town in Geneva has to offer—with no strings attached. The trouble is, it turns out breaking up with a king isn’t as easy as she’d thought. Her ex just sent a legion to kidnap her and take her to the faerie realm of Lucia.
And he wants to make her his queen.
Grant MacKinnon is one wolf shifter who prefers a quiet life. His home in a glen in Scotland, his small wolf pack, and fine whisky is all he needs. The trouble is, a witch in the fae town in Fort William just cursed him to die if he doesn’t find his fated mate and bring her to her. Now he craves a female he’s never met, one he was convinced didn’t exist, and he refuses to believe she’s really his one true mate… until he sets eyes on the beautiful blue-haired lass.
And his wolf instincts howl that she was made for him.
And when he realises she’s in danger and another male wants her as his queen, MacKinnon will stop at nothing to protect her and claim her as his mate.
“Lasses, there’s plenty o’ me to go
around.” Kin held his hands up and smiled.
The three succubi sank into each other on a
sigh.
“Did you hear that voice?” Pink-hair said
with a dreamy smile at her sisters.
The shorter, brunette female swayed towards
her. “Did I? When was the last time we had a Scot?”
“Makes me ache just hearing it. Do you
think he knows how to put it to good use? I could probably feed off him just
talking to me!” The older of the three, a pretty button-nosed blonde, edged her
hand towards him.
Kin grinned down at them, aware they were
saying whatever it took to lure him under their spell and make him part with
his coin, but enjoying it nonetheless. “I’m here on business, but perhaps I
could be enticed to take a small break from my hunt… if you would be so
inclined to help me.”
“Be so inclined?” Pink-hair swayed towards
him now, hunger lighting her eyes. “Darling, I’ll do whatever you want if it
will get you into my bed for the night.”
“Our bed,” Brunette snapped.
“Yes, our bed.” Blonde licked her lips.
All three of them sidled closer, crowding
him as they gazed adoringly at him, as if he had just fallen out of Heaven or a
dream. Their scents swirled around him, fogging his head a little, and he
focused his mind, on his guard against them because he had no intention of
parting with his coin or indulging these succubi in any way.
Mostly because he would probably end up
parting with his life.
As strong as he was, he wasn’t sure he
could handle three succubi feeding on him.
He drew down a breath as he tried to decide
how to ask them about Hella and the fog in his head grew thicker as an
intoxicating scent filled his lungs.
Like a blend of fresh rain on heather
moorland faintly spiced with cinnamon.
Kin breathed deeper, unable to get enough
of the scent, and his muscles clamped down on his bones as his blood heated.
His wolf side lunged to the fore and his fangs lengthened, his claws emerging
as hunger rolled through him, fiercer than he had ever felt it before.
It was a trick.
A power the succubi were wielding to pull
him under their spell and into their bed.
Only when he bent his head to sniff their
necks and scent them, it wasn’t any of them who smelled so enticing.
He groaned as his cock stiffened in
response to the scent as it grew stronger and seemed to invade every cell in
his body and hijack it. His head clouded more rapidly, thoughts blurring and
fading to the background as instinct stole control. He desperately scanned the
crowd on the promenade, seeking the source of the scent.
And froze when his gaze landed on a
stunning, blue-haired lass with emerald eyes.
A chill skated down his spine and his shaft
went hard as stone.
It was her.
She was the source of the scent.
She was his fated one.
He felt it in his bones. His soul. This
female had been made for him, was meant for only him, and she would be his. He
shoved the succubi aside, unaware of them now, the world narrowing down to the
beautiful lass fate had created for him.
Hella.
MacKinnon drifted towards her, powerless to
resist her pull. The need to be close to her was strong and she hadn’t even
noticed him yet. How desperate would he be to be near to her, pressed against
her and holding her in his arms when she did see him? The urge to gather her to
him was already overwhelming, his awareness of the world coming back as
instinct growled that his female was parading down a busy street in a black
dress that highlighted her figure.
Drawing the eyes of other males.
She stiffened, her body locking up tight.
Was she aware of him?
He tracked the path of her gaze as she
tossed a look over her shoulder.
To a group of bare-chested nymphs.
Her panic hit him like a shockwave, rocking
him back on his heels, and he growled and kicked off as the dozen blond males
made their move, launching towards her. He wasn’t sure what his female had done
to deserve the wrath of a witch or a pack of nymphs, and he didn’t care. Every
fibre of his being howled at him to protect her and he would do just that. He
charted an intercept course, shoving men and women aside, not caring where they
landed as he locked his gaze on the two nymphs leading the charge.
He sensed the female move.
Felt her fear.
Instinct demanded he go to her, had him
twisting on his heel and barrelling into two shifter males. The black-haired
men went down hard and he leaped over them, ignoring their yells, his gaze wild
as he sought the witch.
A larger nymph had her in his clutches and
was holding her tightly despite her attempts to break free.
Kin snarled and gnashed his fangs when her
fear cranked up a notch and he spotted the reason why.
The bastard had cuffed her.
The bright silver band of metal around her
delicate wrist glinted in the sunlight as she desperately struggled.
Kin grabbed a female and pushed her out of
his way, into a group of males, his heart hammering as the other nymphs reached
Hella.
Her green eyes shone with terror as she
looked up at the male who held her, one who towered as tall as Kin and probably
weighed as much in muscle. Not that it was going to stop Kin from tearing the
male a new one and teaching him the error of his ways.
No one touched his fated female.
Kin cocked his fist as he lunged towards
the bastard, aiming at the back of his head, determined to knock his teeth out
from behind.
He threw the punch as soon as he was close
enough.
And hit nothing but air as the fiend
teleported.
Taking his wee witch with him.
