I knew eventually you would find your way to this spot. I only wish I was there with you now to share in the rest of your life.

However, since I cannot, I have done my best to offer you help so that you can find the course you are meant to take.

A dear friend of mine has offered to help, and I'm forever grateful for whatever assistance she provides.

You will have met her already. Her name is Ensley, and I promise, whatever form she has appeared in, you can trust her.

She probably thinks I am crazy to go to these lengths, but I know that my King will do anything to get what he wants and that includes hurting you, my darling.

However,I've seen your future, and no matter how bleak it looks at this moment, it will eventually be bright. For you have been touched by the Goddess herself.

But you will need my magic to see this through. I know it sounds overwhelming, but trust your instincts. Love is the most important thing and if you listen, it will guide you, I promise.

To be chosen as an omega is a rare and beautiful gift among fae. Even if your Alpha is not what you would expect. He has an important task, and he needs you to help him.

I know that sounds vague, but I have probably said more than I should. It is a tricky thing not to mess with fate. So I will leave you with only two important things you must never forget.

Trust your heart.

And know that you will always be loved by me until the end of time.

Mother

HowI wasn't cryingby the time I put down that letter escaped me. But as impactful as her words were on the paper, I was more grateful than ever that I’d gotten a chance to see Ensley one last time. Isaac wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his lap. For a long time we simply sat there staring out at the sea, us both lost in our thoughts.

"I can't believe Ensley was a gift from your mother. She was such a pain in the ass."

I swatted at Isaac. Trust him to break the tension with sarcasm. "You were mean to her. What did you expect?"

"Now that I know who she really was, I would say a lot more."

I shook my head. "You are impossible."

"Aye, I am. And I'm your Alpha."

"Oh, Goddess. I knew that part was going to go to your head. That doesn't mean I'm going to submit to your every whim. You should get that out of your head now."

He leaned me back over his arm and stared into my eyes. "Are you sure about that? Because I remember a little fae omega in heat begging for everything I had to give."

"And what a cruel twist of fate that was," I said with a smile.

"I'd be happy to show you more of my cruelty with my knot AND my barb." Somehow he managed to roll us into the grass without much effort and in a way that put him between my legs and his hardening cock in just the right spot.

I almost gasped as my stomach quickened at the memory. Not to mention the pressure he so expertly applied to my most sensitive spot.

"You really are an evil bastard." I laughed.

"Evil you say? How about clever instead? Because somehow I've managed to get the love of my life on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere with no one around for miles and miles. Which means I can get her naked and make her scream to my heart's desire."

"The love of your life?"

"Oh aye." His Scottish brogue had seemed to thicken since his return to Scotland and it slid over my skin like a silky touch. I loved it. "And now I've got the rest of my life to show you just how much that means to me."

"How about we focus on right now and worry about tomorrow later?" I grabbed at the edges of his shirt and with a little extra supernatural power, ripped it open and bared his naked chest.

I gasped at the nasty red scar that bisected his body from his left shoulder down to his right waist. "What happened to you? Can your dragon not heal that?"

"Oh he did. You should have seen it yesterday. This is miles better than before, trust me."
