"I'm Baron, who are you?"

Stunned I climb up off of him, he stands right in front of me, with a smirk on his face. It's so damn surreal looking at your exact copy, nothing about him is different than me. Other than his clothing he's my spitting image. A fucking doppelgänger!

"Baron." Looking down at Miracle her faces contorts to complete shock. She's not the only one feeling this way. How can this even happen?

"What?" Both of us ask her at the same time. Making me more annoyed at the situation.

Her eyes flick back and forth between both us. She has to know that I am me! The real Baron. Trigon walks up to him, searching him over. The other Baron just raises his brows.

"Who are you?" Trigon demands of him. The other Baron just laughs. Guy is getting on my nerves!

"Baron." He simply states. Confusion consumes us all, I don't know who he is but this shit is just not funny!

"Knock it off! Why do you look like me?" I grumble out at him. Before he can answer we hear footfalls running our way. Turning our heads in the direction of the noise, I see my other brothers coming through the forest around the trees. They all quickly stop in their tracks, glancing back and forth between me and the other Baron. Or should I say the fucking fake Baron!

"Woah!" That's the understatement of the year Brack! It would be hysterical if this was happening to anyone else but me!

"They're are two of you?" Well no shit Lucias, looks like the geniuses has come out to play tonight. I'm getting more frustrated.

"No there's only one," I grit out, pointing to the fake Baron "he's an imposter." The fake Baron chuckles turns he head to Miracle and starts walking her way. I step in front her pulling her behind me, he sighs then looks at me with impatience and a cocky determination. He cocks his head around me, tempting his luck and talks to her.

"Miracle baby you know it's me. Tell them I'm the real Baron." You've got to be kidding me? I glance over my shoulder at her, she scrunches her face at him. Please believe I'm the real Baron!

"This is the real Baron," she grabs my arm "you're the fake! Who are you?" He grunts with disproval, tries to take a step closer to her but I block his way. He eyes me with evil content.

"That's not what you thought a moment ago when you had your hand wrapped around my cock!" My brothers all growl at him, he chooses to ignore them. I step up closer to him and get in his face.

"Only because you tricked her! She thought you were me!" The fake Baron rolls his eyes, steps back away from me, and sniffs out a puff of air.

"How does she know you're the real Baron? You could be the fake one! What makes you so damn sure that she thinks you're you?" Looking back at Miracle, I have no idea how she would know who is who? Miracle walks around me, gets in the fake Barons face, I grab on to her arm. I don't want her near this fucking imposter.

"Just stop! This ruse is over," she looks down at my hand that is wrapped around her arm "I feel the tingles from my mate," she looks back at the fake Baron "and you are not him! So who are you?" I couldn't be more prouder of her. She not only realizes that I'm the real Baron but she has the courage to face off with the fake one. Damn! I love this woman!

"Then why didn't you stop me when I had my fingers all up that sweet pussy? If you knew I wasn't your mate?" My brothers step closer to him! We all growl out at him, the damn guy had the nerve to touch what's ours! "You enjoyed it though didn't you? My tongue rammed down your throat, my fingers all up inside you, if we wasn't disturbed you would have loved having my dick all up inside you!" Before he can usher another word we all jump on him and attack! Knocking him to the ground, we continued to pummel him, not caring how much we damage him, till we hear Miracle scream out.

"Stop! Please!" Stopping at the sound of her voice. Climbing off of the fake Baron leaving him bloody and bruised on the forest floor, we make our way back to our mate.

Fake Baron moans out in pain but I can't hold no sympathy for the asshole lying on the ground. I focus back on Miracle, she looks a bit shaken. I grab and wrap her up in a warm embrace.

"Tell us who the hell you are!" Brack demands of him. The other Baron rolls to his side, climbing up to stand he stumbles. Wiping the blood off his face with the back of his hand. He spits out on the forest floor. His attention is only focused on Miracle.

"All I wanted was to be with you. I can't seem to get you out my damn head! I never meant for Farrow to...did what he did to you." At that confession we all know who he is now. Fucking Trey!

"Trey?" Malik ask but it's more of an observation. Trey nods his head at us but his eyes never leave our mate.

"I'm sorry he did that to you but that was not my doing. He did that shit of his own free will. I had nothing to with that!" It doesn't make him any less guilty. I release Miracle walking over to Trey.

"You had her kidnapped! You let him get to her! You allowed Cathy and Draco to do what they wanted to her! That makes you responsible for everything that happened to her!" My temper is escalating, I can feel my eyes changing. My breathing starts to become erratic, I'm barely able to keep my dragon under control.

"It wasn't like that dude. I didn't want her hurt. I don't know what they were planning. I was at the damn ceremony remember?" His reasoning is beyond pathetic. Can't he see if it wasn't for him none of that would of happened to her? "I love her!"

"You are the reason for all of this! All of her pain and misery! You're even the damn reason that Talon was assaulted!" Hearing my angry rant he looks over to Talon, he actually fucking gulps. Realization dawning on him.

"I'm sorry Talon!" He actually seems contrite but there's no way in hell I'm letting him get away with this! Looking over to Talon.

"Take him back to the dungeon," I turn my heated eyes back to Trey "I don't care what you do with him," stepping back away from him I look to Trigon "we need to go see Hazel!"

"She won't tell you what you need to know!" Mother fucker! He has got to have some balls on him. Trying to contain my anger I step back up to him.

"Why is that?" How the hell does he even know what we want to see her for anyway?

"Because I told her not to," Trey smirks at me like he's won a damn prize "she will only do what I tell her, I have the high witch in the back of my pocket. She will never tell you how to destroy Herema." Trigon grabs him by the back of his neck, forcing his face to his.

"Why would she not tell her Kings what we want to know Trey!" His big wings extend out of his back, Trey gulps when he sees them in all their glory. Knowing Trigon is beyond pissed.

"I'm- I'm- blackmailing-he-her. I have proof she did black magic." Trey stutters out his fear echoing in his words.

"Is that all? We can take of that. You forget Trey we are the kings and can give her immunity." Talon always the clever one, laughs out at Trey. Trey eyes widen in terror.

"Take him to the dungeon already, I'm sick of seeing his face, especially when it looks like mine. It's fucking freaky!" My brothers laugh at me as they all leave with Trey. Leaving Trigon, Miracle, and me.

"Let's go see Hazel." I nod as I grab Miracles hand, squeezing it to reassure her.

"You ok?" She nods her head slowly while smiling up at me as we head off to see the high witch.

•••••

Closing in on Hazels cabin we see a lantern in the window, the home is more of a shack than the once beautiful cabin I visited years ago. Knocking on the withered door it slowly creaks open revealing a much older woman than I last recalled.

"Hazel?" She squints her eyes at me recognition coming slowly to her. She gives me a giant toothless smile.

"Baron?" Her voice is full of wonder. I kick myself for not coming to see her sooner.

"Yes Hazel, may we come in?" Nodding her head she opens the door. Though the outside of the cabin is rundown the inside looks fresh and clean.

"What can I help you with your Majesty?" Waving her hand she offers a seat on her old sofa as she takes one in a rocking chair.

"We came about Herema. She's after our mate. We need some advice on how we can get rid of her." Hazel shakes her head. Fiddles with her fingers, she doesn't want to look us in the eyes.

"I'm sorry Baron I have no idea." Hazel whispers looking discouraged.

"We know about Treys blackmail and you doing black magic." Trigon informs her, she gasp her face fills with sorrow and regret.

"I'm so sorry, that boy is the devil himself. He told me not help you or her would turn me in. I only did it to reach my sister in the other plain. I miss her." She confesses to us. Her sister died years ago in tragic fire. Understanding hits me. Knowing Hazel has no evil intentions.

"It's fine Hazel, we don't care about any of that. Can you helps us with this please." She only hesitated for a second, looking over at Miracle, she smiles, I'm hoping she is deciding to help us.

"So this is our new Queen? Your mate?" She shifts her head toward Miracles direction. Miracle stands going over and squats in front of her. Grabbing ahold of one her hands.

"Yes I am. Can you help us please. We will give you anything you ask for." Hazel shakes head.

"I don't want nor need anything. I will help you with this but it will be tricky." Miracle stands, leaning over she kisses her on her cheek. Hazel blushes then waves her away.

"Thank you." Miracle tells her as she returns to set back beside us. Hazel rises from her chair going to a shelf and grabs a old book, returning back to her seat she opens it and finds the page she wants us to see. Turning in it to us we all lean in closer to get a better look.

The title reads: Demi-Gods and their enemies.

A little confused at this I look at Hazel waiting for her explanation.

"To battle an enemy, you must know their enemies!" Hazel cackles out at her admission. We three all look at each other with curious looks on our faces. Not understanding what she actually means.

Hours later we leave Hazels cabin with a new resolve and confidence as we make our way back to the castle.

"Think it will work?" Glancing down to Miracle, I can see her speculation.

"I know it will." I sense her unease so I wrap her up in an embrace, kissing her on her head. Inhaling her intoxicating scent. I won't let Herema get to her. Rubbing my hand down her back. All the while thinking,

"I will die trying to make it work!"
