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.

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.

Chapter: Chapter 34NadineI had seen a way out of the hostile wasteland; what I did not imagine was that the ghouls I had dreamed of were real. Fear encapsulated me, despite the realization that the ghouls were not as large as in my dreams, and that caused me to be quickly caught.My first genuine reaction was to scream in fear.That upset my mates, who didn't hesitate to approach, but the ghouls began to surround them.Stay calm!My she-wolf Becca's scream made me react, so I tried to summon magic, but I couldn't and realized that the curse that nullified magic in the wasteland must be too strong to nullify the raw power I possessed. I went physical and started kicking the damn spiders, but that wasn't a good option, because the damn things glared at me angrily, and their cobra-shaped heads snapped back to reveal their damn fangs.I didn't have to be smart to assume that the moment the ghoul bit me, some kind of poison would hurt me, so I took a deep breath and reached for the pen Biel had given me.

Chapter: Chapter 33DragoWe walked to the sacred grotto that connected our entire world.I realized that no one was able to see it as Taina and I saw it until I saw Biel frowning, Connor looking on slyly, and Aris and Nadine looking on in surprise. The others didn't seem to be aware of where they were, so it was an excellent idea not to say anything to them.I didn't trust anyone who wasn't within my bonded group.I didn't even trust Lion, although I respected the high priest because he had been the mediator of some of my people's and the elves' problems. Since I had decided not to leave Dragis, I had limited myself to many things.Nadine quickly walked up to me.“Where are we, and why don't the others seem to be aware of the place?” my mate asked, and Taina looked at her in surprise.“How is it that she can see this place?” asked the elf. “Only those who have been blessed by the gods can see such a place.”“I am not blessed by the gods, and you can swear my mates aren't either,” Nadine said with a frow

Worst of all, I had my period and the pains were becoming a pain in my ass.“What do you have?” asked Drago and I denied.“Nothing I haven't survived with before,” I said and he frowned.“You look uncomfortable; is it because of yesterday's exercises?” he asked very carefully.“It's partly that, but it's really a female problem,” I said without elaborating.Drago came down after that and I sighed.I grabbed everything I needed and then went downstairs with a backpack, I met my mates in the kitchen and they all looked at me with a frown, especially Connor, who looked pale.“What's wrong?” I asked them and Aris got straight to the point.“It just so happens that your beasts didn't think about birth control before getting involved,” the vampire said and I gritted

I asked in frustration. I asked, annoyed.“It's a way to see the shadows in action,” Aris said. “The idea actually came from Connor, and since I have a lot of faith in you, I would definitely take pleasure in beating the wolf.”“You guys are idiots!” I yelled in annoyance and tried to leave, but Drago grabbed my hand.“You can't get upset like that, Nadine; it wasn't a real punch. If Aris had meant any harm, he's much more bloodthirsty,” Drago said, and that made me laugh wryly. “Besides, if you haven't noticed, Connor is just as fast as Aris; he would have moved i

If they were fair, all this mess that has been created in the population would not exist, and I would be a normal she-wolf living next to her mother,” I said with annoyance.“I didn't mean to be rash, but the circumstances in which your mother—”“If you want us to get along, don't mention my mother,” I said sternly to Drago. “The point is that it's impossible for an anchor to be able to be blessed with the power of the gods; it's absurd.”“It's not; shadow whisperers are very powerful. They were created in the image of chaos, and you are a chaos sorceress. I'm not surprised that you can manipulate the power of shadows if your power itself is chaos,” Drago said calmly. “So most likely this power

Chapter: Chapter 29NadineI woke up in an empty bed, and that made me sigh.The night before had been very confusing; however, I smiled with happiness knowing that at least I had had the joy of sleeping between my mates. That was a feat in every sense of the word; what I didn't expect was for the door to open and Aris to walk in with a tray of breakfast.I raised my eyebrows and then smiled.“You're not the most giving of people, something you want,” I said and received the tray.The vampire smiled amused, then sat to the side.“This is a reward for what you said in your sleep,” Aris said, and I looked at him with a frown. “Besides, I've noticed that you're a much better person once you've had coffee and your stomach has been satiated.”That I wasn't going to argue with him, but I also wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of driving me crazy by asking him what the hell I had said. So I took the cup of coffee and drank it in complete silence, which made him laugh.“You're beautiful when you show you

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.

He's got enough on the subject; that's enough for now.

So, I decided to be alone; I needed it.“What do you need right now?” asked Carol and I looked at her sadly.My friend knew me too well, so I made the decision to be honest.“Solitude, I need a night of solitude,” I told Carol and she nodded sadly.“Then it's time for me to go home,” my best friend said with a smile to make me feel better. “However, I'm going to be as close
