Supernatural Outlaw (Supernatural Captivity #2)(7)
Author: Avery Song

"Right! Can you imagine? What kind of sin did she commit to earn a sentence like that?"

"She probably didn't give him head or something."

"That sucks. I'm desperate for some cock loving, but I wouldn't throw a prisoner into the depths of Level Four. Could have let her off the hook or something."

"Tensions are high. Apparently, the Monarch is missing."

"What?"

"Seriously? Isn't that dangerous? They better not be sending us to go find her, because none of us can deal with the fury of that butterfly's wrath."

"Doubt it. They're gonna get some special peeps to do the work or something."

"What's taking you guys so long? Walk faster!"

"Yes, sir!"

"What will happen to Omarion then?"

"Heard they're going to transfer him. Lucky fucker. If it was us, we'd be dead."

"Exactly, hmph!"

Their voices began to fade away as they got deeper into the forest, leaving us to remain completely silent while we waited for them to be far enough to not sense our presence.

They're going to transfer Omarion? Transfer him where?

"I feel as though the destination isn't what worries you."

It's not. We can get to whatever prison they transfer him to, but the question is whether they'll keep him alive or not.

"Seeing as he's an important individual in Widow's plans, I doubt she'll get rid of him so carelessly."

True.

The kiss to my cheek brought me back to the present, and I lifted my head up to see Dominick's smirking expression.

"Intriguing how your first spell is one that awakens poisonous flowers."

"You look so proud," I acknowledged but kept my smile wide.

"Super proud." He winked and kissed me.

"It's like they're in a honeymoon phase whenever they're in close proximity with one another," Tristan commented.

"Fae mates are like star-crossed lovers. They're created to complement one another, like yin and yang, or the sun and the moon. Together, they are balanced," Marigold explained with pride. "Ah! Princess Cassandra's growing up already!"

"Marigold," I whined. "You're making it seem as though I'm a child."

"In my eyes, you're a newly blossomed butterfly that sprouted her wings for the first time!" Marigold said with a dazzling smile. "It's wonderful to watch."

"Have to agree with that there." Adonis nodded. "We can do more admiring later though. We should get going."

"What are we going to do about Omarion?" Tristan question. "Is he a bad guy?"

"No." Otis was the one to respond. "I think he saved Cassandra."

"Saved me?" I inquired.

"Let's talk when we get to a safer place," Dominick reminded. "I'm sure by the time those guards give their report, another set will be sent out to make sure Cass's death is legit."

We all nodded in agreement, and with a snap of my fingers, the wall of vined flowers returned to the earth, leaving purple petals and leaves to rain upon us.

Dominick ended up leading the way as Otis remained behind me and Tristan and Adonis were at my sides. As we approached the last bit of forest, my eyes caught upon a specific bug, one that seemed to trigger a reaction from me.

“Oh LOOK!” I squealed in delight. The four of them turned my way as I moved away from their defensive position and retrieved the bug with the palms of my hand.

I showed them the bug I'd retrieved.

“You found a pretty flower.”

“It’s not a flower,” I huffed. “It’s a bug.”

“Sweet Cassandra, I knew the day would come when you’d need glasses,” Tristan concluded, giving me a pitiful look.

“Shut up!” I snapped. “It's LEGIT a bug!”

“Really?” Adonis was the only one intrigued by my discovery.

“It’s a living creature,” Dominick confirmed.

“Shit, really? What is it?” Tristan moved in closer as if to confirm what I held was literally a bug.

“A Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii,” I stated proudly. They stared at me in utter confusion.

“Oh.” It took me a few seconds to realize about ninety-nine percent of the population didn’t know what that was. “A flower mantis.”

“Oh,” they said in unison, and Dominick grinned. "Looks like your fae magic is speeding up the adjusting process."

"Adjusting process?" I inquired.

Marigold fluttered around my head, landing on my shoulder before answering my inquiry. "Once a fae's magic is awakened, the information that outpours through their natural surroundings aids in their understanding of their habitat. Most fae survive within nature and are the strongest in this very element. It takes time for new fae who aren’t born with these senses to adjust to the swift change. Basically, you're doing really well, Princess Cassandra."

"That's good then," I replied and let out a yawn. The bug hopped from my palm, scurrying away before I could say goodbye. "My yawn scared it away."

"No," Adonis replied, grabbing our attention as he looked up towards the sky. "Enemy reinforcements are approaching. We gotta move."

"How are we going to get off this island?" I inquired, feeling drowsier than before. Dominick was the first to notice, and I was suddenly being lifted into his strong hold.

"That will be initiated by me," Dominick declared, smirking while I gave him a defiant frown.

"I'm fine."

"You're struggling and don't want to admit you're struggling after surviving who knows what," he countered.

"Just admit you're being all overprotective and shit," Otis muttered enviously.

"Or you can admit you're a jealous vampire," Adonis pointed out.

"Jealous?" Tristan quietly laughed. "Damn right insulted at his lack of perception when it comes to noticing Cass's growing exhaustion."

"I'm going to cut a hole in the ass part of your work pants and blame it on Adonis," Otis grumbled.

"Don't go blaming me for shit. I only aim to cut Cass's lingerie."

"You three ready?" Dominick inquired as a golden mark with a growing swirl of rainbow-colored smoke surfaced out of thin air.

"Are we going through the portal?" I inquired.

"Yup. The fun part of being a Fae Master, but exhausting and a bit nauseating. So brace yourself, Cass."

"I'll be fine," I assured him, noticing the portal growing bigger and bigger, reaching a size that would allow the guys to walk through in a line. Tristan was to Dominick's right, while Otis and Adonis were on his left.

Securing me in his hold, he leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to my forehead. I pouted my lips at the affectionate move, my eyes growing heavier by the second.

"Dominick..." I muttered. "What...did..." I trailed off as my eyes failed to remain open while my head slowly fell against his chest.

"Nap...time," Marigold mumbled and let out a soft yawn, and it seemed as though she'd fallen back into slumber.

"Did you just put her to sleep?" Tristan inquired.
