“What is that?” Cassandra asked, her voice weak. “What are you doing?”
“They are the Mother Goddess’ children as much as they are yours. They would need their ethereal mother’s milk to thrive, just like you and I.”
“What?”
Iona coughed, feeling her lungs start to labor for breath. “Listen child, my time is
short
,” she said, ignoring Cassandra’s confusion. “It is time to pass on. You are the clan’s next Seer. You will take my place when I die. At the moment of my death, I will pass my knowledge to you as it has been done since the beginning. And when your t
ime comes, you will do the same but your life will be long, my child. Fear not that your end will come quickly. You must guide the twins to their destiny and unite the clans.”
“How is this happening? I am the Seer now?”
Iona heard the panic in Cassandra’s voice and chuckled. “
We share a similar lineage
. It was always in your blood. Why do you think you have visions?” in the ongoing series.
Cassandra’s stare went to the babies as they made soft baby noises together and Iona barked a short laugh. “Yes, mystical babies aside, you hold the magick inside you. The babies simply amplified what you already possessed.”
“How
? My mother was from Clan Janus and you’re from Clan Barrachius,
” she said, struggling to get her bearings even though she remained weak.
“At one time, we were all one clan. The Prophecy is bringing
us all together again. Female S
ee
rs can all transform; however, S
eers in themselves are rare, which is why it was generally believed that females don’t change.” At that Iona chuckled, finding humor in the misconception. Oh, what good times she’d had with none the wiser. Her heart gave a warning stutter and she knew the time for words and storytelling was
finished
.
Iona
scooped the
babies up and held them for a long moment, gazing at the children she would never know on this plane
.
Then, she cocked her head as the sound of footsteps alerted them to the men returning. She handed the babies to Cassandra, knuckled Cassandra’s cheek with one gnarled hand, and then blissfully sank into her own destiny knowing she’d played her part and it was time to move on.

EPILOGUE
In the days that followed, Cassandra
found herself overwhelmed with the newfound knowledge that
’d
flooded her brain at Iona’s passing. Her babies, a girl and a boy, were named Ianna and Veris, and they were exceptional children who grew like
beautiful, alien
weeds
that were both dangerous and yet mesmerizing
.
And they had the ability to transform at will, which made for some challenging parenting.
Cassandra never knew if she were going to find pups or babies in the cradle
but she always knew where to find them if they happened to escape their beds.
“You are amazing with them,” Tieran said with pride. “You are a formidable Alpha’s Mate. You will raise our pups with strong hearts and even stronger minds.”
Cassandra smiled and accepted his praise with a glowing heart. So much had changed in such a short time frame that it was difficult to comprehend how radical the switch in her life. She went from a nobody in college, struggling to find her identity in books and academia when her true identity had been hidden from her until fate determined it was time to
emerge.
And as traumatic as certain events were, Cassandra wouldn’t trade her life for anything.
Since Ulster’s defeat, Cassandra and Tieran had managed to convince a few of Clan Janus to join with Barrachius but it was not an easy transition. Ingrained prejudices made for tense relationships but a few were grateful for the change and ready to embrace a new way of thinking, particularly the women who’d been horrifically abused, such as Arja, who in spite of her limp, had become quite helpful in the kitchen with Hannah.
But it wasn’t factions within Clan Janus that worried Cassandra and Tieran. It was a threat from within that had nearly taken everything.
Serra, in spite of an exhaustive search, had managed to escape justice. The fact that she roamed free was a worry that kept both Tieran and Cassandra awake at night.
Tieran, gazing at their sleeping twins, said, “If she dares to step foot on Clan Barrachius land I will know.”
“As will I,” Cassandra said
with deadly calm
.
“She would be foo
lish t
against ad I was o try.”
Tieran smiled in approval at Cassandra’s fierce protectiveness. He knew she didn’t offer idle threats either. Since Iona had passed on her knowledge, Cassandra had been able to unlock gifts that had been lying dormant in her mind. Suffice to say, Cassandra was one bad ass Seer, one that definitely didn’t take any shit from anyone.
“You have that look,” Tieran noted with a faint smile.
“Which look is that?”
“A look that says you want to tear someone’s throat out.”
Cassandra laughed, not bothering to deny it. “Serra better hope never to cross paths with me. I fear that confrontation would
be
messy.”
Tieran sobered and pulled her to him, sealing his mouth to hers in a fierce kiss that stole her breath.
When he broke the kiss, she stared into his eyes, loving this man more than life itself. “What was that for?” she asked softly.
“For being my perfect True Mate. I look forward to a lifetime with you by my side. You are mine and I’ll never let you go.”
She liked the sound of that.
Cassandra smiled as he pushed her down to the bed. “And what exactly do plan to do to me?”
Tieran’s mouth curved
with wicked intent
as he plucked at the buttons on her
nightie until he could part the halves, revealing her full breasts that were always swollen now with milk for their twins. “
Everything,” he answered before pressing kisses down her belly to settle at the apex of her thighs. “Starting with…” and then his tongue delved into her folds, igniting a fire of need that only he could satisfy.
Yes, life was good.
She didn’t know the future but the present was exactly as she wanted it
to be
—
with Tieran, their babies, and the clan.

Enjoy an excerpt from another of Alexx Andria’s best-selling paranormal erotic romances, BOUND TO THE BEAST.
I didn’t hear the door open but I suddenly became aware that I wasn’t alone. The hair on the back of my neck prickled and I slowly turned, praying that I was simply being melodramatic. But somehow I knew before even turning that it was him standing there, blocking my exit and watching me with open hunger.
I turned and my heart jumped into my throat. “What are you doing?” I asked, my voice a high-pitched squeak as I flattened against the opposite wall. “This is the l-ladies room.”
“You smell like honey and rain,” he said, his mouth curving in a sensual line that did weird things to my ability to remain standing. I almost forgot that he was likely a weirdo or psychotic killer but I remembered quickly when he began walking toward me.
“Stop!” I cried, my voice shaking. “Or I’ll scream. Get out and leave me alone and we can just forget this ever happened and you won’t have to go to jail for being a creeper.”
“Forget? And why would I want to do that? It’s taken a century to find you…I’m not about to walk away.”
“W-what? Are you crazy?” I asked, my mouth trembling. Had he said…a century?
Fabulous
. I was locked in a dimly light club bathroom with a crazy person. Hadn’t my evening been crappy enough already? I looked furtively for something I could use as a weapon but aside from throwing soggy paper towel wads his way, I was screwed. This was how it ended, I thought grimly. Savaged by a nutball in a dirty bathroom. Tears pricked my eyes. “I don’t want to die,” I whispered as he strode toward me.
At my whispered plea, he simply smiled darkly and pulled me roughly to him. “Who said anything%ic their C about dying, sweetling?” he murmured, crushing me against the granite of his chest. “Humans,” he chuckled with amusement even as I stiffened against him. “Such alarmists.” He didn’t give me a chance to respond as his head dipped down and suddenly his lips were moving across mine. He smelled of masculinity and raw power; sex and leather. The heady combination was enough to dampen my fear and sharpen my sudden arousal. He pressed me against the bathroom wall that was covered in profane graffiti and I gasped at the shock of his tongue searching for mine. I clung to him as he ground his hardened length against me through the rough denim of my jeans. I wiggled against the delicious pressure, quickly losing all sense of why this was a bad idea, and simply gave in to the intoxicating feel of being ravaged. Yes, ravaged was a good word for what he was doing to me. There was nothing soft or sweet about the way his hands were roaming my body as if memorizing every curve, every valley. I’d never been so consumed by another person in my life. Every boyfriend or casual sexual relationship I’d ever been in or with had always left me wanting for something deeper, more primal. He filled his hands with my breasts and when the fabric of my blouse impeded his questing touch, he growled and simply ripped it from my body. I sucked in a shocked breath but trembled at the look of possession in his stare as he openly stared at the way my boobs overfilled the lacy cups of my black bra.
