Suddenly, my mother appeared, standing next to my daughter as my little spawn looked up at her curiously.
“Why is it impossible?” she asked.
“I mean…” Mazarin’s cheeks turned red. “For one, have you seen them? They are like seven goddamn feet tall and total hotties.” I barked out a laugh at that as she continued. “Just trust me, they see me as an annoying little sister.”
Another spirit appeared suddenly, not one I recognized, and offered all of us a shy look before addressing my daughter. She was younger, maybe in her mid-twenties.
“Your Highness, you may want to get down there. Coal is hitting a boy and saying something about ‘Mazarin’ being his… so, yeah.”
My daughter’s mouth popped open as my own mother laughed, the random spirit disappearing. I shook my head as I heard Mazarin yelling for Coal to stop, which was useless since he was a hellhound and she was his mate. But I would let her figure that out.
“I was going to tell her myself,” my mom whispered, casting me a glance, “but it felt more authentic coming from a random spirit that hangs around here.”
I nodded in approval as we came to the back door. My eyes fell on Raphael’s expression as he arched a brow at Coal being pulled away by Benjamin, none of the parents even bothering to get involved.
It happened at every single party.
Suddenly, music began blasting and the mood lifted, sort of fixing the moment unintentionally. I grinned at the spirits playing the music and looked around my yard, filled with family, friends, the dead, and the not so dead.
I guess the dead were pretty cool after all.

Author Note
The Dead & Not So Dead Trilogy was one of my first series that I began as an author and while it was sad saying goodbye to Narcissa and her men, I am thrilled to announce some exciting news! First, the Dead & Not So Dead box set will be available early next year with bonus content. Second, make sure to be on the lookout for Mazarin’s series that will be coming soon. As always, thank you for being amazing readers and I hope you truly loved the ending to Narc’s story!
