Chapter: EpilogueJacksonHaving five children was something of a blessing and a never-ending source of stress.The only one who was calm was Alia, the little 13-year-old, who was reading a book she found interesting. Meanwhile, Eris was arguing with Alexander, Marco, and Daniel. The three of them were teasing her after she had damaged a suitcase of dolls that she intended to use to go to college.“You're all assholes!” shouted Eris, fed up and storming out of the room.“Will you say anything to my brothers?” I asked Alia, who was a female version of me and I denied it.“No, I think someone else will,” I said and she smiled, knowing the answer.“Go apologize to your sister!” shooed Alice in annoyance as she looked at the triplets. “This prank was very heavy and your sister always has to pay for the broken dishes of your witticisms. This time they tried not only her patience, but mine.”“Mom—”“No words will do for me not to scold them,” Alice said angrily. “Your sister is going off to college soon and

Chapter: Chapter 104AliceThe goddess' orders were clear, so we sorcerers prepared everything to travel to the South Pack immediately. The funny thing about it all was that the Goddess spoke in our minds to show us in detail the sacrificial ritual we were to perform.I didn't know how the goddess was able to project everything to us as she spoke to the rest of the room, but I knew that no matter what happened, we were going to keep her promises. The problem was that we didn't know exactly where the grotto was and Angel was the one who told the truth about it.“My informant is apprehended,” he said and we were all stunned when he communicated this as we were getting ready for the trip. “The informant on what was going on with the Omegas sacrifice is Ariel.”“Impossible,” Teo said. “He's Stefan's most loyal man.”“He wasn't, not until Stefan decided to make less of people and he understood that it was horrifying the kind of sacrifice they made,” Angel said.“I've seen with my own eyes how bad blood that gu

Chapter: Chapter 103JacksonI knew what would happen at the meeting long before Alice arrived and I knew that would be the reaction I would get: absolute surprise. It was the same expression I had when the Alphas from the other packs, along with the leader of the warlocks and Marcel, told me hours before."That's not what I came here for," Alice said firmly, and I smiled.It was a classic response from her that, at that point, I could predict.And, to my dismay, Eris began to cry, highlighting a very important point of this whole mess, so I quickly went to her and when she felt me, she was quiet. Since I was singing nursery rhymes to her as my own energy, the little girl reacted very well to me. Somehow, I managed to calm the call and I was recognized as her father. The wonderful thing about that was that, apart from Alice, I was the only person with whom she really stayed calm.She feels at peace with you; you give her security, Alfie said happily.Knowing that filled me with happiness.After the war, A

Chapter: Chapter 102AliceShe was blinded by grief.I had fulfilled the will of the Goddess to imprison Stefan after killing Dalia, but I was completely empty inside. I had a frustrating sense of pain as I felt that my mate was gone.After Stefan was taken away, I didn't care about anything but Jackson, so I stayed with him and tried to wake him up in every way I could, but he wouldn't wake up. I didn't feel his life energy and I was desperate. It was my grandfather, who had just arrived, who put a robe on me and tried to get me away from Jackson.“You have to let go and let him go,” my grandfather said in a low, condescending tone of voice. “You have to accept fate.”“If he's not there, I have no destiny,” I said forcefully. “I do whatever Goddess wants, whatever you want, but please don't take him away. I know he's somewhere; I know it.”I hugged Jackson tightly and then I heard someone running towards us.I saw Bella and when she saw me, she was surprised; it was a matter of a second before her face w

Chapter: Chapter 101StefanThat bastard Jackson tried to kill me with his last volley of power, but I was able to get away in time. If I had held on to the handle of the dagger, he would have killed me on the spot. So I dropped him to the ground and cursed at the number of men he had killed with his energy. I had no idea he would be so powerful, but I was going to see to it that he didn't have the slightest chance of living another day.He seemed to be dead, but I didn't trust anything.“If your beast is that powerful, the only thing left for me to do is secure my future,” I said, pulling the dagger out of his chest.More blood began to flow from there and then I settled in to cut off his head and separate it from his body. I was ready to begin when I felt a ball of power hit me and send me flying through the air with force. That surprised me and separated me from the dagger that flew a few meters away from where I was.I was stunned as I stood up and turned to see who had dared to attack me.I realized

Chapter: Chapter 100AliceThe matriarch and I went to get my daughter.There was nothing more important in the world than to take care of her no matter what; however, when we went through the emergency exit, we found a string of corpses of Northern Pack guards and sorceresses.That made me gasp in pain.“You have to be strong,” the matriarch said. “Don't look at them; just focus on what you need to focus on.”I nodded with tears in my eyes and we walked to the passageways Bella and Jackson had shown me earlier. They were one small tunnel that led into the forest; however, I noticed that they were sealed off and that didn't give me a good feeling.“Something bad is going on; the plan was for Bella to come out this way with the baby girl if something went wrong with the birth,” I said and the matriarch checked the wall.“It's sealed from the other side, so we'll have to break it with force.”With the renewed energy my daughter had given me, I knocked and broke through the wall to go toward the path.

Chapter: Chapter 58DragoI was like a madman on the surface while all my linked group was inside the sea. I could not stay calm without an answer from Nadine, or I would wipe out this island. It was her voice, after hours of waiting, that calmed me down; however, when most of the group destined to complete the mission went down to rescue her and didn't come up as quickly as I thought they would, I despaired again.“They're fine,” Rex said. “You have to trust that.”“Nadine isn't saying anything, and I feel what she feels, and I don't like the anguish I'm feeling,” I said in desperation.“It's because of your own desperation,” Samir said. “You're magnifying what you're feeling, so you need to relax if you don't want Nadine to feel your fear. Don't you think she's not in enough trouble already?”Whether I liked to admit it or not, Samir was right, and it was that which made me soar through the air so I could feel useful looking down from above. Whatever was going on had to be related to the divine object

Chapter: Chapter 57NadineBiel's automatic response was to freeze the sea serpent.After that, Biel applied pressure on the snake with air magic, and the monster exploded into large pieces that fell on us. That caused the sea monsters around us to shoot bolts of power from their tridents, and Aris sent an explosive slingshot of fire that sent them flying away.Lion started drawing some runes to slow them down.“Why don't they just leave Nadine alone like in Fairy Wasteland?” asked Connor as he created a tunnel of ice using his water power. “The fairies and goblins recognized her as the person capable of manipulating the grimoire.”“Possibly because the curse on the locket must be different,” said Lion.The sea monsters came closer again, so I had the shadows blind them until we could escape through the air bubble.“What do you mean the curse is different? What I think is that they are soldiers from old Crete,” Aris said. “They are described as in the stories; it is certain that they are simply trying to

Chapter: Chapter 56Nadine“Let the guys know what happened,” asked Aris. “I'm surprised Connor isn't bugging you at every turn.”I closed my eyes and tried to talk to Connor and Drago, but it was impossible; I felt like something had sealed my mind.“I can't talk to them,” I told Aris fearfully. “I feel a mental block.”Aris tried to do something, but couldn't do it, and then his eyes turned red.“What's wrong?”“I can't read your mind. There is a telepathy canceling seal,” Aris said with a frown. “What you don't understand is how the mental connection between mates was blocked. It's probably something doing interference with our brain capacity.”That scared the hell out of me, so scared that I didn't feel it when I stepped out of my body and appeared in front of Biel. He looked at me in awe.“What's wrong, Nadine?” asked Biel.Ale and Samir returned with coconuts in their hands, and when they saw me, they dropped the coconuts.“Astral projection,” Ale whispered. “You can astral project.”I felt confuse

And so bad was my discomfort that I couldn't help but throw up everything in my stomach.“You've swallowed a lot of salt water,” Aris said as he lifted my hair so I wouldn't mess it up with vomit. “We need to get situated so we can find a way back to the others.”“We've fallen into a bloody abyss,” I said with annoyance after wiping my mouth. “If we take a good look at this shitty place and the height we fell from, it's possible the others will find us.”The fear of that reality scared me too much.“You can't be fatalistic, Nadine,” Aris said firmly with a frown.“I'm a realist,” I said with annoyance. “This is partly your fault for agreeing to travel with that captain who didn't hesitate to take off when things got ugly.”Aris jerked back as if I had struck him with my words.“I did the best I could to finish the mission b

I still didn't really understand how his feeding worked, but it wasn't to my total delight to see him consume human blood.“Don't look at it like that,” Connor whispered in my ear. “It's a natural thing... He's not eating it out of a vein, though.”I looked down at my mate with a frown.“I'd rather remain ignorant as to how Aris' feeding works,” I told Connor, and Aris smiled.“I can explain; it will be exciting to tell you who would be my main source of food for life once I accept reality,” the vampire said before getting up and taking the rest of the blood to the storeroom.I frowned, not understanding the implication.Biel sneered at me, and Connor looked at me with some pity, but it was Drago, bless him, who had the will to put me out of my misery.“Vampires

Chapter: Chapter 53NadineTraveling on a ship was not in my plans.I knew what it was like to be inside a ship long enough to fear the sea. My mother had moved me from one continent to another as we abruptly moved places as a way to avoid anarchists.It had been a difficult experience, but my mother transformed it into a kind of adventure.I couldn't believe that I was about to continue my own maritime adventure.I wiped away my tears, and Aris hugged me, placing his arm around my shoulders.“What made you sentimental?” the vampire asked, and I sighed.“I spent a lot of time on boats when I was little,” I admitted confidently. “Those weren't very good times because I threw up more than I'd like to admit, but my mother treated everything like an adventure... And now the situation is real in a way I never thought it would be.”“Life is a compendium of surprise, Nadine,” Aris said and gave me a kiss on the head. “I think you're going to be fine. If you're experienced, you'll possibly know where you stand.”

The Alpha's Fighter Mate
I put my things away, and when I pretended to leave Fight Club, I was approached by the least expected person of all. William Walker himself.
"Sage?" he asked in a soft voice.
"Yes," I said in a modulated tone of voice so he wouldn't recognize my real voice, though I could bet he would never realize who I was.
"I liked your fight; the way you knocked that guy out was fun," he said, and I realized that the really dumb guy was looking at me like I was candy.
"It's a good thing you liked it; I guess you bet on me," I said sarcastically and turned to walk away and leave him talking to himself, but the very wayward one grabbed my arm.
"Sorry about that," William said, and I glared at him.
"I'd like to buy you a drink and maybe lunch. I know from my own experience that after a good fight, it makes you very hungry."
I shook my head at his pathetic attempt at conquest and laughed.
"Sorry, but I'm not dating anyone, so I hope you have an excellent evening," I said humorously and headed for the exit. I hoped the spoiled child of the pack had gotten the message.

I tried to put myself in Ian's shoes; I understood, but Ian's I resented.I felt guilty for letting Will leave home like that; I was unaware of the danger; I clumsily thought that if Ian's father stayed away, it would minimize the risks he was exposed to.I was an imbecile.“Do you need anything?” I asked Ian, and he denied it; then Gloryn gave me a pitying look. “I'll go to the pack house, then I'll be back.”Ian nodded without meeting my eyes, and I left with my friends.I didn't want to leave my mate alone, but given the circumstances, I needed answers about what happened with his father.The safe deposit box we had jealously guarded with Gloryn's help was the answer, but until we could get a way to

I held back a cry of pain, just felt my body go numb and closed my eyes to him and then cried loudly.My mother was dead and my father had been murdered.I closed my eyes and raised my head in search of relief, but it was impossible to feel anything quite like that when devastation had knocked painfully at my door.We must get out of here; it could be d

Chapter: 18IanThe thread that linked Archer and me felt very much alive.And my wolf was unhinged from approaching Archer's wolf in all sorts of ways I couldn't understand. It was as if the bond wasn't completely choking him.“You're so sweet,” Archer said to my wolf, and Aldo growled in amusement. “I've been waiting for you too.”Aldo's feelings were soft, easy to understand, and I realized they were identical to my own, yet I was completely confused and overwhelmed at the situation.It was not something I expected to feel; I didn't even know how to size it up.“Whoever cast the seal spell was someone very powerful,” Tori said, and we looked at her. “It drained me completely and broke all the magic wards Ian had. Now he's much easier for others to track.”Aldo groaned, and Archer immediately stroked his ears.“We're going to be fine; I'm going to protect them,” Archer said with conviction.I believe him, so trust, said my wolf, Aldo.I trusted; maybe I trusted too much, and it was that very th

In order not to be so adamant about saying no, he used legal loopholes to buy time to meet his mate,” my father said, and I could do nothing but laugh.“Do you want to ask one of the women my father turned down for help?” I asked teasingly.“Her situation was very different; actually, they never had any kind of rapprochement; she had simply been sent to do her internship in the Reserves. She and Alpha Quill became very good friends, and over time she fell in love. Then the event happened that got her kicked off the Reservation.”“That woman will not want to see me,” I said calmly and with common sense.“She will; she'll help; she'll hesitate, but she'll give in because it was your father who stopped the Reservation wolf council from slaughtering her for using forbidden m

The situation felt a little out of place, since he was the one guiding me in a community I didn't even belong to, but it felt right.Give him a chance to explain himself, my wolf said, and it seemed like a reasonable recommendation.My father and I sat near the river and watched a couple of men hover nearby.“They are wolves from this pack; they are patrollers,” my father said, and I sighed.“How is it that this world exists and humanity hasn't questioned it?” I asked with a frown.“Some of humanity, at least the one that rules, knows about the supernaturals and the Reservation,” my father said, and I looked at him open-mouthed. “There's a silent deal about it; it carries a lot of ancient magic and dire consequences for revealing the truth in such a simple way.
