My heart thrummed restlessly, and I rose, careful not to wake my mates.

Who are you?I demanded, even though I knew who was talking to me.

Aren’t you looking for me?I’m here now.

I’d never heard a voice that musical, lovely, and powerful beyond measure.

Unable to resist it, I followed its tug and traced it to the garden outside my childhood chamber where Blaze and I had fucked passionately earlier.

I met no guards. Goddess Arianrhod had put all of them to sleep.

I stood in the center of the white garden. “Where are you?” I asked.

The goddess materialized, and she was the most beautiful, perfect being I’d ever seen.

Her hair was whiter than the snow, flowing all the way down to her lovely bare feet. Her skin was glowing amber, and her eyes were the purest sky blue. Her pink lips were so soft and sensual they could ensnare any man’s heart.

She was dressed in a glowing white gown that barely covered her curves.

Looking at her, I didn’t want my mates to ever meet her.

She laughed mesmerizingly. She must have heard my inner thoughts. Who was I kidding? In front of me was Goddess Arianrhod of Inanna.

“What do you want from me, daughter?” she asked.

“You know what I want, Arianrhod,” I said. “I need to be the new Keeper of the Dragon Realm. I need to protect the land. I need to preserve the dragon race—your children.”

“Why do you think you can do the job?Your grandfather failed.”

“I’ll fix it.My grandfather was stricken by inconsolable grief after he lost his son and me.”

“What if you lose your mates? Will you still be a good Keeper? Will you fail me?”

My heart was immediately torn at the prospect, and pain wrenched at my heart. I wouldn’t survive if they perished. “I’ll make sure my mates are safe,” I said stiffly.

She snorted. “You can’t keep all of them safe, especially the one mate, the one you haven’t claimed and might never be yours.”

It was a cruel thing to say, but she was also honest by laying out the brutal reality before me.

“I’ll keep him safe as well,” I said with determination. “I’ll break his shackles, at any cost.”

“You can’t be that ruthless,” Arianrhod said. “You don’t have it in you. It’s either your three mates or him. Choose.”

“No, I’ll never choose.” I narrowed my eyes. “Did you send Sphinx to mess with my head?”

“You know he didn’t need to mess up your head or heart,” she said. “Daisy Danaenyth, you do have a pure, courageous heart. I’ll grant you your wish and let the power of the realm infuse you and aide you to take down your enemy. But I’ll need one thing from you.”

“Name it.”

“Give me Elvey Fionn, the demigod.”

My heart stopped.

“Why do you want him?” I tried to conceal my sudden hostility toward the goddess.

She narrowed her eyes at me in displeasure. “He’s pretty. Do I really need a reason?”

Could a goddess be petty, menacing, and lustful?
