not want it. They do not want her. Eamon and Cyril are allied in this. They have sold out your pets and sent them to a place where you may not be able to retrieve them.” She canted her head as though looking past him. “Gemma and Keeley do not wish this fight any more than I do, but they will side with Cyril. They do not want change. Wyman, however, remains as always, a wild card.”
She hesitated, the weariness he’d glimpsed earlier filling her eyes.
“Do not reach out to me. I will not answer. I will not answer any of you.”
Then she was gone, like mist. He pulled his teeth from Eleanor and regarded her as she filled his view again. Paler than earlier, she stared at him with hollow, knowing eyes. Had she seen or known the content? Possibly both.
It didn’t matter.
“Where did they send Maddox and Fin?” Because now she had better damn well tell him if she knew.
The main doors burst open as Rogue strode through. “They are in the prison. They’ve been turned over to the warden and a horde of his shadow demons for keeping.”
Fiona let out a wounded sound, and Alfred glanced at Eleanor, who gave the barest of nods, utterly resigned to her fate.
“You could have still been happy,” he scolded her. “You did not have to get greedy.”
“Will you forgive me then, my lord?”
“No,” he told her bluntly. Then he snapped her neck. He spared her the pain of the death a traitor deserved, then twisted her head off. It was messy and the blood fountained, but he ignored it, discarding the head as an afterthought.
Rogue didn’t even give the woman a passing look as he went to their hellion.
“Dorran has them?” Fiona asked, and Alfred sliced a hand through the air.
“He will not have them for long.”
“No,” Rogue said with a sigh. “But they have moved the prison again, and without Fin, we may not be able to find it.”
“You already went.” Of course he had. It was why he had been absent so long. “It does not matter, we will find them. Then we will deal with Cyril and Eamon.”
“I can find it,” Fiona said. Rogue stiffened at the offer. Alfred frowned. Did his hellion possess some magical gifts she had not made him aware of?
All at once, the shadow demon’s words rushed back to him. “You’re going to come to me, Fiona. When you do, I’ll be waiting.”
Fury spilled through him, a rage he hadn’t experienced in so long, he couldn’t remember when. “No.”
“I can’t leave him there. I can’t leave either of them there. Maddox is in pain.”
“And he would suffer it a thousand times over if it kept you safe,” Alfred said firmly. “You will not go. Rogue and I shall find the prison. We will bring them home.”
“Alfred—”
“That is final, Hellion. You will not go.” As much as he hated the pain flashing in her eyes, he would not risk her.
He would change the world for her, but he could not risk her.
Rogue pressed his lips to her temple. “We will find them, little sváss. I swear it.”
But Fiona didn’t look at him or at Alfred, her gaze was elsewhere.
They had to find them. If they didn’t, she’d never forgive them.
Alfred would never forgive himself.
Can Fiona trust the nascent bond she’s formed with Alfred and the deepening connection she has to Rogue? Or will she take matters into her own hands to retrieve Fin and Maddox? The warden did say she would come to him. Is she cursed or a Succubus Blessed?

Thank you
Thanks so much for joining Fiona on the next step in her wild ride. It’s funny, when I was invited to do this project I got excited because I could finally answer the questions posed by a blurb I wrote years ago.
Now that I’m on this journey with Fiona, I can’t fathom why it took me so long to take this trip with her. She is so refreshingly direct and lacking in filter. Next up is Succubus Blessed, the third and final installment in the Shackled Souls trilogy!
Turn the page for the blurb to Succubus Blessed and hold onto your hats, you just know that Fiona’s going to stir things up.
xoxo
Heather
Succubus Blessed
There might be something to this new life of mine.
Being mated to Maddox and bonded to Alfred isn’t so bad. Rogue is stealing his way into my heart and Fin already had part of it. If I were to be totally honest, I think they’ve all taken pieces of my soul.
Choosing them was the scariest thing I’d ever done, until now.
Someone has stolen my dragon and my druid. They’re locked in the last place I’d ever want to see again.
But I’ll do it.
I’ll walk right into the belly of the beast, confront the warden and anyone else who gets in my way.
Yeah, sounds a lot braver than I am. But they wouldn’t leave me there and I won’t leave them.
Even if Rogue and Alfred forbade me from going.
Pfft.
What’s the worst that could happen?
