My monsters--Altair, Morpheus, and Dominik--have vanished, taken by some evil magic I know will require a great sacrifice to unravel. But I'm prepared to do anything. My sister is still missing. Even worse, I think she's tied up in my cruel fate in some way. The coven hates me for what I took away from them, and some unknown entity has a target on my back. I thought the most challenging obstacle would be figuring out how to break my betrothal to a spiteful shifter prince so I could live happily with my three beastly kings in shadow world, but nope… Without my demon kings by my side, I'll have to make hard and fast decisions. Trusting isn't easy because even the most innocent souls become devils. In the wise words of Dominik…in order to transform, sometimes you must break first. Raising hell was easy. Facing the outcome…is a pain in the ass. Chapter 1Sadie Fate is a fickle bitch. Yeah, I knew it. She’s probably laughing right now. Losing my mates after I just got them caught me off guard. Just yesterday, I had what I knew was a dream come true. The worst case scenario I dreaded over the past few weeks had just happened. I was living a nightmare. I didn’t know what was worse—never meeting my mates at all or losing them before we had the chance to…actually live. I understood why I only summoned my three demon protectors in my dreams before, keeping them out of the real world and in my head. I knew then that the possibility of them being taken away from me was very real. My instincts were accurate. I mean, no one can have too much of a good thing before all hell breaks loose, can they? My demons had just been stolen from me in the blink of an eye. But were they really mine to begin with? I was so stupid to think I could have them for so long and live this happily ever after that only existed in the romance books I read. They were gone. Swept away into some kind of magical mirror. Vanished without a trace. I tried like hell to get them back, turning the apothecary shop upside down in search of what my Aunt Naima may have left behind. I thought of loophole spells. Shadow spells. Dark underworld magic. Nothing worked. No amount of effort seemed to be able to fix it. I was going up against the unknown. Since I didn’t know what evil took away my demons in the first place, I couldn’t figure out how to fight back—much less get them back. This was the worse… Not knowing who an enemy was…it was just so depressing. I couldn’t blame this all on Mika. I entered the shop knowing the consequences. But, she had killed my aunt and I wanted my sister back. I could always blame it on that crystal globe she hurled at my mates. She had looked just as surprised as I was when it happened. Aside from Aunt Naima being a practicing witch who dabbled in spiritual spellworking, I believed Mika knew nothing about magic. That’s what I’d been led to believe anyway. She was just a human. A mundane and my cousin—but not by blood. Well, up until recently, she had been human. Now, she was turning into a vampire. And having drained someone to feed, she as a killer. I couldn’t stay here any longer. I had to leave. It was quite evident that my demons were not on the Earth realm. Loki, the cat, brushed up against my ankles as I walked over to the dead woman’s body. Her soulless eyes were wide open, staring up at the ceiling. Two small gaping wounds scarred her throat just where Mika had fed. She was fully clothed—dressed in tight-fitting leather with a black eye mask covering her upper face. Bright pink lipstick smudged her cheeks and smeared down her chin. She looked
