 The one between you and Devlin, my dear.
Devlin saw panic in his mate s eyes. Taking no offense, knowing it would take her some
time to get used to the idea, he turned to address his mother.  We're not going to be married until
The Thrice Princess 77
first getting accustomed to each other. Then when she has full control over her powers we shall
see about there being a wedding.
Relief passed over Stasia s face as she mouthed a thank you in his direction.
 But we do need to discuss her protection. Being from three very powerful families puts her
at grave risk. And as she does not know the extent of her powers, we must assume we are the
sole guardians of her protection. Devlin crossed his arms over his chest trying to make himself
look unmovable on the subject.
Devlin heard Stasia pfft and begin to speak.  Hey, I can take care of myself just fine, thank
you very much. Look what I did to, Merdon and I was in the middle of a transition.
 Yes, you were able to get the one up on him, but that was because he did not know it was
coming. You won t be so lucky next time. Mathis informed her while he stared at her with deep
respect shining in his eyes.
Suddenly Stasia got up off the couch and at Devlin s side in no time. Planting herself in front
of him mashing her back to his front leaving not an ounce of space between them and crossing
her arms over her chest.
Wondering what was going on, he snaked his arm around her waist, as he whispered in her
ear.  What is it?
 I believe my father wishes to make an appearance at this little shin dig of ours. I can feel
him approaching. Turning slightly she rubbed her cheek against his.
 I do not feel anything. Devlin lifted his head lightly and kissed her on the nose.
 Trust me.
Not three seconds later, the Lord of the Dark world appeared in front of the fireplace. His
stance was cool and strong, with a confident and arrogant look on his face. When he laid eyes on
his daughter, just for a minute, Devlin could see regret and love in his eyes, and just as quickly, it
was gone.
 So, a meeting of the minds? How little we forget the parents at this little meeting of yours.
Merdon raised an eyebrow and looked at both Stasia and Mathis.

 Forgive me father, I did not mean to be rude. Mathis bowed his head at the older demon in
a sign of respect.
With a nod, Merdon looked into her eyes. Stasia did not flinch as she felt him pilfering
around the recesses of her brain.
 You re doing very well at shielding yourself daughter. I cannot see into your thoughts.
What is it that you are thinking about so hard?
Merdon had no need to see the thoughts running through her head, so she lied easily in
hopes to keep her true thoughts a secret.  Just that I can take care of myself, I need no help from
anyone.
 Yes, this once might have been true, but you were in nowhere near as much risk as you are
now. You will need our protection just as much as ever. Whether you like it or not.
Oh how she would like to send his arrogant ass into the wall again. Devlin must have sensed
her feeling, because he hugged her tighter in his arms, and leaned down to put a kiss at her
temple and rub his nose in her hair in a reassuring manner.
 You know, since you re here, it would be only fair to bring mother in as well, Stasia said
while rubbing Devlin s hands at her waist.
Not knowing until now how much his support truly helped, Stasia took in the sight of her
father as he nodded in agreement. The whole having parents thing was new to her and as
uncharted territory, it made her nervous to be in his presence, not from fear of bodily harm. No,
The Thrice Princess 79
what they could do was much worse, hurt her emotionally.
 You will have to locate and call her, I cannot. Merdon looked pissed at not being able to
do so.
If Stasia didn t know better she would swear her parents loved each other. Both seemed to
show great longing for the other, and it made her wonder why they didn t stay together.
 How am I supposed to do that? I seriously doubt they have cell phones where she is.
Mathis chuckled.  Use your mind to locate her in the heavens.
 But I have no clue how to do that.
 Just close your eyes and concentrate, it will come to you.
Closing her eyes, Stasia visualized the goddess of light in her mind.
Immediately, she flew out of her body into the sky, soaring towards the heavens while her
body stayed earth bound.
The journey seemed to last forever and then abruptly, she came to a halt in the most
beautiful of rooms.
Almost Greek in design, it had columns all around the circular room. The floor stood solid
below her feet, although they appeared to take the shape of the clouds. A great fountain stood in
the middle, its clear water reflected small amounts of lights giving it an unearthly glow. White
tapestries flowed in the non-existing wind, swaying to an unheard beat. Everything was the
purest white almost as blinding as new fallen snow.
The only color was the people who congregated in what seemed like a meeting.
There were many people crowded around a table listening intently to the people speaking in
front of them. The teal, purple, and emerald colors stood out in the blankness of the rooms. No
one seemed to notice her presence.
Stasia stood for a moment watching the preceding going on, curious to know what had the
men and women looking so serious.
Kremara sat the in the center of a long delicately carved marble table. Her beautiful red hair
set in halo by the glow of her skin. No longer wearing the teal gown she had the last time Stasia

saw her, it was now a deep forest green one that made her red curls and cream skin stand out on
display. Every so often, she would look to the man at her left who was talking to the crowd,
taking no notice of Kremara s subtle looks in his direction as he continued with his business.
Although Stasia couldn t make out his body shape from the way the table sat. The man must
have been big, for he towered over the chair in both weight and height. His hair was the same
color as both Kremara and herself, pulled back with a white strap at the base of his neck. Most
would find him handsome in an Adonis kind of way, but in Stasia s eyes, he didn t hold a candle
to Devlin.
Both Kremara and the other god were flanked by three men and three women. Not in that
order but scattered in an undetermined pattern. Finally, having enough of the scene Stasia made
her move.
Walking around the fountain, she looked around while approaching the situation with [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
