Reign of Ice (Forever Fae #4)(80)
She looked past Brayden’s shoulder and snickered. “He’s right behind you making faces,” she replied.
Brayden rolled his eyes and in a serious voice he said, “Well, you tell Merrick that when you get older he’s not going to be having these late night visits in your room. Make sure he understands that.”
I put a hand over my mouth to cover my smile. Brayden was always the protective one, and I could just imagine Merrick rolling on the floor with laughter over that.
“He said okay,” Ella announced, giggling again.
Now that Ella was born and separate from me, I had lost my ability to see those I loved in the Hereafter. I couldn’t see Merrick and reminisce with him anymore nor could I see Lailah. When I was pregnant she had informed me of the changes Ella would go through once she got older, and also the amount of time she would need to spend in the Hereafter. The thought scared me at times, but I knew it was what she was destined to do.
The courts had grown stronger over the years with new life and new powers. Calista and Ryder had welcomed a daughter into their family and little Merrick adored her. He was her protector, or that was what he always said when we visited. Meliantha and Kalen had their hands full with their twins, but fully expected to have more someday.
My friends Kamden and Zanna completed the marriage bond soon after I came back to life five years ago. They also had a daughter who was a little younger than Ella, and to this day both Ella and her were inseparable. When Kamden and Zanna would visit, Ella would relay messages back and forth between him and Lukas. To this day, years after, I still felt the guilt of his loss, but I was glad Kamden had a way to stay connected to his brother.
Yawning, Ella snuggled into her covers and smiled sleepily. “I’m ready for the story now, Daddy.”
Smiling, Brayden reached over and took my hand. “I love you, angel.”
“And I love you,” I murmured back silently. “Always …”
We both gazed down at our precious daughter, the one who brought me back, and the one who saved all our lives. Settling into place, Brayden kissed her cheek and began to tell the story that would forever be engrained in our minds and in our souls; the story of our lives.
“Once upon a time, in the Land of the Fae, there were four powerful princesses …”

Sneak Peek of CHARMED
by Cambria Hebert
Chapter One
“Death Escort - an assassin employed by the Grim Reaper. Will kill a target by any means necessary. Including charm.”
Charming
Present day
You would think being a Death Escort—a killer by trade—would make a man above getting a lecture from his boss. Apparently when you work for the Grim Reaper, the ultimate death dealer, it doesn’t matter who you are, how many times you’ve killed, or how ruthless you might be because he is better.
