and I looked over to the desk to see a tall, bulky man sitting upon the white surface of the desk. I had to do a double-take as I looked at the television screen and back at the desk because the man looked so similar to our father, it was scary.

If it wasn't for the slight softness in his complexion, I would have feared it was Wilfried sitting before me, but as I observed his bulky shoulders, slim waist, and slightly shorter height, I knew for sure that this was neither Dad nor Wilfried.

He had long red hair, a completely black suit down to the tie, and a black crown with red rubies sitting upon his head. My older brother was officially sitting before me.

"Constantine," I whispered.

He lifted his leg that was resting on the other, sliding off the table to stand at his full 6'6" height as he reached for a chalice that sat to his left side. He walked towards me, each step carrying a magnitude of power that was clearly trying to intimidate me.

I gave him my full attention as we faced one another, everything around us zoning out as we focused on the intensity of our energies that were desperately trying not to clash.

The heat alone bouncing between us made the entire room feel like we'd entered an oven, but I couldn't back down. He wanted me to cower to him, and I saw no need to.

We were siblings, and he may have been the older brother, but we both carried crowns upon our heads, and no matter the color or size, we were both equals when it came to royalty.

I couldn't keep track of how long we stood there doing our staring contest, but the movement of the chalice in his hand broke our intense stare off as he presented it like I was some sort of victor.

"As much as I'd enjoy this fierce battle of the eyes, we don't have time to waste," he announced and looked to the contents in the chalice. I did the same, lowering my gaze to see the liquid that gave me the impression it was red wine from the scent and color within the onyx cup that was decorated with various jewels.

"Within this chalice is a special wine that is offered to every individual sworn in to the supernatural council. You will be no exception. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You won't be offered this position again if you reject the wine of supernatural authority," he elaborated. "This will test your limits, but it will grant you the authoritative power and boldness to confront those who are stronger for the sake of keeping the peace upon these lands."

I lifted my hands to accept the chalice as I looked at the liquid before lifting my eyes to meet his intense ones.

"We'll have plenty of time to explain your new role and finalize the chosen individuals to be on the council with you, but it's now or never, Princess Cassandra Cyldrirth."

"Queen," I corrected, which made me smile just slightly at the way his eye literally twitched in irritation at being corrected by someone like me. "Queen Cassandra Cyldrirth of the Kingdom of Gaia. A pleasure to meet you, brother, and I'll happily drink from this chalice and accept my role upon the supernatural council."

He actually allowed the side of his lips to curl up just slightly as I took one final glance at the liquid before lifting the chalice to my lips and downing the contents in a few large gulps.

I drank every droplet before I lowered the chalice to reveal its emptiness. The elevator dinged in arrival as the doors opened and footsteps rushed into the room.

Turning my head, I was surprised to see my five boyfriends' presence, which left me a little confused as I looked at Constantine, who seemed to acknowledge my boyfriends with a mere nod.

"What's going on?" I questioned, but Marigold's voice boomed in my head.

"Queen Cassandra! Castalia is in trouble!"

I flinched at the loud warning, which seemed to catch everyone's attention as their eyes landed on me.

"What?" Constantine questioned and I looked at him in worry.

"My fae pixie guide, Marigold, just said Castalia's in troubl-"

"We interrupt this LIVE broadcast to reveal the fight happening at the scene of the rally run by the newly convicted killer and manipulator, Wilfried Cyldrirth! He's just been taken down by multiple agents."

All of us zeroed in on the video that was put onto the full screen while the
