    MY REAL NAME NARRATOR A thick ck mist surrounded the entire building, like a massive domenothing could be seen beyond it.


    She stretched her hand into the air, but even her own fingers disappeared into the overwhelming darkness.


    She thought this must be Alessandres famous shield, meaning he hade after all.


    He must have stayed hidden in the forest, watching, learning, and growing more astonished by the minute.


    "T created it to protect you.


    No one could sense your Selenia power.


    " ss confessed, catching her off guard.


    Was it really you?" "Yes.


    I will always protect mydy," he dered, puffing out his chest.


    "You dont need anyone else."" Sigrid smiled, her heart fluttering with warmth.


    Now she understood why her mothers eyes always gleamed whenever her father disyed his possessive, caveman-like nature.


    Wow, my Ss has be so capable.


    So intelligent and reliable." She reached up and stroked the light stubble on his jaw, watching those golden eyes gleam with satisfaction.


    And then, suddenly, his lips were on hers.


    The tip of his tongue slowly, deliciously, traced her lower lip ---- before capturing it between his teeth, sucking it gently.


    Desire zed between them, their bodies remembering, their minds vibrating with echoes of the night they had shared.


    "Pve been very good.


    What reward will mydy give me?" Ss teased, panting against her lips, his magic slipping beneath her neckline and under her skirt like shameless hands, caressing, seeking.


    Selenia wanted to tell him he didnt need to call herdy anymore.

    Lifting his hand, he waved it through the air, and the misty shield ---- began to dissipate.


    Massive wings unfurled behind him as he grabbed Sigrid firmly by the waist, pulling her close.


    Then, he took off.


    Ss soared into the sky, looking magnificent, powerfulbreathtaking.

    His magic had a spicy, intoxicating scent, tingling against her skin, calling to her own.


    It wasmanding, dominantnow stronger than everyet also filled with deep emotions for her.


    Ear below, the citys houses passed beneath them, their rooftops mere specks from this height.


    The night breeze kissed her face, her hair and clothes dancing in the wind.


    Above them, the moon shone brightly, lighting their path toward the walls of the stronghold.


    "Goddess, what kind of twisted game are you ying with me, with my fate?" She wondered silently, ncing at the striking man beside her.
