Prologue

Excerpt from The Great Book of the PRIDES – personal entry by King Blaise of Knight Watch, Eighth King of Dryad.

My brother Heath, twin to Zandor, schooled by Nox, King of the Fae is competent in magyck. He is a fine warrior, but his restlessness finds him living apart from us in the realm of Teal. His tastes in orgies with males of any species and addiction to inflicting pain far outweigh the unusual sexual practices of Zandor. Although my brothers all have varied tastes, Heath’s preferences are not something I have encouraged nor will I try to change. Not two days since, Nox arrived to inform me his protégé is dream walking in Nomag minds, searching for the perfect male to take for his mate. Nox insists both Fae and Nomag enjoy inflicting and receiving pain, so I will bow to his superior knowledge in such things. On speaking to Heath, I have discovered he lives practically alone in his castle and relies on conjured beings for company. He prefers to live in a realm far advanced of my own, and only has friends of like mind. He begs me to stand down and allow him to find his mate. I must trust his judgment and hope he will find a male willing to submit to his unusual lifestyle.

Chapter One

The Realm of Teal

Prince Heath of Knight Watch ground his teeth and glared at Nox, King of the Fae. Why do you come here, you have Hawke if you need a male to pleasure you? You know full well, it is not in my nature to submit to anyone, not even you. He snorted. Methinks you need my brother, Zandor or perhaps Rio to grace your bed again.

I am not here to offer you my cock, and it is true, I do have Hawke but not for long. I will be returning to Crystal Mountain once Lydia has delivered Hawke’s son. They are not my life mates, and my magyck grows depleted stuck in Dryad for so long. Like you, the Lady has not yet blessed me with a mate, and it is time I found a female to produce my heir.

Anger welled, and Heath tossed his head. "I have tried many females. None will ever please me, so if you are here to change my mind, think again. I prefer males."

This fact is well known and to your advantage, because by taking a female to your dungeon you would break the Lady’s rule. Nox inclined his head observing him with a green, intense gaze. For me, leaving Hawke to seek my destiny will be difficult.

Hawke will be in despair of you leaving, he holds you in high regard. He rubbed his chin. Has living with Lydia soothed your path into accepting a female as a mate?

"I have enjoyed females for over four hundred years, but for me it is difficult. Females become confused around me. My scent is different to others of my kind, hence my preference for a male companion. They are less complicated. Nox narrowed his green gaze and stared at him. Methinks the Lady will choose a Nomag for me as punishment."

Why so?

It is a long story. Needless to say, in my youth, I did not understand my power over females and angered the Great One. These many years since, on His orders, the Lady has punished me by not offering me a mate, but when I return home, I will ask her once more for Her forgiveness.

Heath rubbed his chin. Nox had not spoken to him with such candor before, and he wondered why he had arrived unannounced. "I wish you luck, but you do have Allure the Fair, a most devoted lover waiting for you at home. You should be grateful. I have a lizard for my companion."

The Teal are devoted to you, and in man form are good lovers. Yes, I care for Allure the Fair but have not seen him for some time and know he misses me. We have after all lived together for centuries, but the Lady sent me to ease Hawke’s way. Now he is content with Lydia my work is done. Nox straightened and looked at him down his long, straight nose. "I am here, not to seek your bed, Heath, but to warn you. Tampering with the rules may cause a problem between you and your king. I know Blaise well and as the Lady’s Champion, he will abide by Her rules. I know you plan to bring a Nomag into your realm without permission. I can read your magyck and know you have dream walked to make your mark on him as a potential mate. King Blaise is fully aware of your scheme. I suggest should you decide to break the sacred rule, go to Blaise and beg him not to kill this Nomag. He sucked in a deep breath. If you mate this human before you seek permission, he will be executed, and then you will live your life alone forever."

Cornwall, England

Sit down, young man. The Fortune-teller spoke in a lilting, foreign accent. Cross my palm with silver, and I will see what the future has in store for you. She extended her gnarled brown hand across the table.

Swirls of hypnotic gray smoke rose from a small brazier at the back of the caravan. It curled up to the yellow painted ceiling and fell in white spindles, bringing with it the scent of musk and pine. Callum gazed into the eyes of the woman seated behind an impressive crystal ball. He blinked. Her eyes were an iridescent emerald green, rimmed with kohl. Laughter lines etched her dark, leathery skin. A fringed shawl, embellished with blue silk peacocks, covered her head and flowed over her shoulders.

I see you have not found your place in this world. She lifted her chin, and a few strands of gray hair fell around her face.

I bet you say that to everyone. Callum pushed a hand into the pocket of his jeans and pulled out the seven old silver coins he had purchased at the market. He grinned and poured the coins into her outstretched palm. I want to know my future. What lies ahead for me?

He sat down on a rickety wooden stool and rested his elbow on the table. A black runner embossed with a crescent moon and stars partly covered the wooden surface. Absently running a
