    About this ebook

    A hopeless Selene has spent the last few weeks feeling unwanted and unneeded by the group. When she decides to leave and join Wick, the sorceress to which is was originally Bound, Zelda and the knights are forced to pursue her . . . and to show her that she is indeed needed. Don't miss the ninth chapter of this lesbian harem romance series! 

     

    --

    "I have looked all over for her," Cassandra said, reporting to the kitchen after a thorough search. "She is nowhere to be found."  

     

    "Could it be that Calain has finally become somewhat clever?" joked Gweneth, who was sitting at the table and filling a wineskin from a bottle.

     

    --

    "What the devil have you two done to Zelda?" said Gweneth's voice with a laugh.   

     

    Zelda colored up, slightly embarrassed that Gweneth – the one most likely to tease her later – had walked in to find her trapped between Selene and Calain. She looked as if she was being held captive. . . She looked luscious, Calain thought: her massive breasts crushed against Selene, her narrow back and its deep line, her plump backside in the air . . .   

     

    --

    "Selene, can you hear me?" shouted Calain, as if she were speaking to a deaf person. "I have come to set you free!" 

     

    "Calain," said Selene through her teeth, parrying a downward swing from Calain's blade, "cease this insanity! I am neither enchanted nor a prisoner!" 

     

    "Exactly what an enchanted woman would say," panted Calain. "Don't worry, Selene! I shall save thee!" 

     

    Selene groaned in exasperation. 

     

    --

    "All right," said Calain hoarsely. "So we shall go to Honione and try to make a life for ourselves. And this time, I shall make life good for thee, Zelda, not difficult and full of strife." 

     

    Zelda smiled and shook her head. "Silly woman," she said in exasperation. "You have made my life a wonderful adventure! I have Aereth, I have traveled to other dimensions, I have seen half the realms!" She kissed Calain's lips, and they smiled at each other.

      About the Author

      Chapter 1

      Wick was sitting in an armchair beside the fire, the dark green cushions vibrant against her jet-black hair and gown. The gown’s sleeves were slit up the sides, so that they fell like wings, leaving her white arms bare as she sat with her hands calmly in her lap, regarding Selene.

      Arlonhold was the name of the castle to which Wick had whisked Selene away. It stood on an island in the middle of a great lake, in the heart of Dark Bloom Forest. The occasional small boat came to and from the island, bearing supplies for Wick’s servants to keep life in Arlonhold running smoothly, but that was all. Aside from Wick’s sisters, there were never any visitors here. Wick lived her life in solitude, seeing only her servants and receiving the occasional raven from one of her sisters.

      Upon Selene’s arrival, Wick had explained that the old castle had been given to her by her sister, Serian, who had taken pity on her that their parents had disowned her and left her threadbare. And so, instead of venturing into the city to open a shop or a healing clinic, Wick had settled here, living her life in luxury, wearing fancy gowns every day, eating succulent meats, and enjoying a lazy life of reading and soaking in her bathing basin.

      Wick believed she now had everything. All she required, she told Selene with a lusty smile, was a lover to share it with for the next three hundred years. Wouldn’t Selene be that lover?

      Selene still hadn’t answered, for she was . . . considering it. She was surprised with herself that she hadn’t immediately said yes, for she had come here in the first place because she believed she had no place at Zelda’s side. It was she who wrote a letter to Wick, asking where she was and if she could not come and live with her. Wick had answered by appearing in a puddle near Selene’s boot, smiling up at her from the water. And then a portal had opened, and Selene had stepped through to find herself here.

      The last day she was with Zelda, Aereth, and the Knights of Falcon, Selene had sadly watched as everyone sat around the fire outside Sune and Kare’s tent. They were all so engaged in one another, eating and laughing and chatting ceaselessly. Aereth had doted on Gweneth (ranting about Gweneth’s prowess with a sword), Zelda had doted on Calain (lovingly feeding her spoonfuls of stew), and Sune and Kare could not stop praising Cassandra’s magick abilities – such as her visions and the dream walking – which had aided Gweneth so many times, for the people of Ellormest had great respect for magick, even if they couldn’t wield it themselves.

      Selene had looked at the others and wondered what her place was. Did they really need her? And would Zelda ever truly love her?
