Nadine

I was itching to have my shadows kill the pack council, and Becca was bloodthirsty; she herself wanted to go out and rip their throats out.

Just let me come out for a moment to show them who I am, my she-wolf Becca said angrily.

I ignored her for everyone's sake, especially Connor's.

And it was Connor's expression of disappointment that made us want to attack the jerks who had the audacity to make our mate feel so bad. He was not a weak man; on the contrary, he was very strong mentally, and that was one of his best attributes; however, we hated to see him sad.

When we left the council room, Connor wanted to get away, so I let him have some space to go into the woods.

“Is he going to be okay?” asked Biel to Aris.

“Connor is resilient; he's been through a lot since his family died, so he's going to be fine. He just has to adjust to his new reality,” Aris said with sadness in his voice.

That truth was a harsh reality check.

After that we went to the shelter.

    NadineThe Temple had opened an official investigation in Lunarius.The level of corruption in the case of the Vanir family, Ophelia's family, was too strong to be ignored, and so they were going to start the investigation in the Eclipse Pack and then make sure that the other packs were not affected. The Temple was going to follow the protocols of the federal laws of the continent respecting the primitive laws of Lunarius.That was what gave the wolves peace of mind.They did not like people meddling in their affairs; however, seeing the level of out-of-control created by Ophelia and her father, they found themselves having to accept the Temple's meddling. They had no choice.Connor felt responsible and guilty for what had happened.He, being an Alpha, should have been careful about the workings of the council, but inexperience made him trust the people he had grown up with over the years.

    Country villageAthenas Region“Nadine, remember when I told you that one day we would play hide-and-seek at any time by surprise?” My mom asked, and I nodded excitedly. “That moment came; do you remember the rules of the game?”“Yes, Mom, there are three rules: I have to find the best hiding place; I have to be quiet; and the most important rule is that no matter what I hear, I don't come out until you tell me the code word,” I replied efficiently.My mom smiled, and I felt proud for remembering it all; however, there was something sad in her look, and it made me frown.Something didn't feel right.“You're a very sweet and smart girl, Nadine,” Mom said before drawing a picture on my forehead and spraying me with a spray that had no scent. “What's the code word?”“Chocolate,” I said before biting into the little chocolate bar she had given me minutes before.Mom giggled in such a way that her eyes sparkled with mirth.“What's the other rule?” Mom asked carefully.“I must never reveal o

    Part I. Meeting of soulsNadine13 years later...I woke up in the middle of the night with erratic breathing and a racing heart.I had dreamed again of my mother's death, but this time I saw her killed in a much more grotesque way. The hunters had sat her down in front of me and ripped out her heart so that I would suffer.I shook the horrific image out of my head.I brought my hand to my chest and felt the rune of protection.I sighed in relief, knowing that at least I had an advantage over the hunters. After years on the run, I had found a way to more effectively disappear from the map, and that was by sealing my energy trail so they would be looking for a needle in a haystack. It was a trick I learned from my mother when I was old enough to know what she always drew on my forehead after she kissed me.I moved all the time, didn't last long in one job, and used different aliases.I did everything within my power to ensure everyone's survival, especially them.Don't think about them,

    NadineIf anyone had told me what was going to happen, I would never have believed him.It was impossible to think that the most beautiful vision I had ever had in my life, one different from the images of terror that always flooded my brain, could turn into some kind of nightmare.Biel looked at me angrily, and I did not respond.The priest took the drawing and looked at it with interest, then frowned.“Who are the other men?” The old man asked, and I said nothing.I had sworn the vision of my mates to secrecy, so I kept my mouth shut tightly and stood up straight. That made Biel and the priest look at each other, then Biel nodded and walked toward the exit, but not before looking at me like I was a serious problem. And yes, I was a problem he shouldn't be dealing with. When Biel left, I let go of my hands and tried to regulate my breathing.“Aren't you going to say anything about this drawing?” the priest asked curiously, and I shook my head. “Then I'm going to tell you who I am and

    BielHunting the woman of the prophecy had almost turned out to be mission impossible.We didn't know who she was or what magical powers she had, so we couldn't find her trail. So when the temple gave us clues on how to catch a stripper who was related to her, I didn't hesitate to come up with a plan.I created an intelligence operation with elite guards in the small town of Valkir, the capital of Valter, one of the 3 common areas of Kagolen, the continent where we lived. Once we found the club where the stripper worked, it was a matter of investigating her movements until she finally met the woman of the prophecy.It was a good move on my part, and when the prophecy woman was apprehended, I declared the operation a success. The woman was already hours into her processing; all was going well until one of the operation's guards approached me with a serious expression.“What's going on, Jackson?” I asked him immediately."When the unknown female attempted to flee, I entered her apartment

    NadineBiel didn't miss the opportunity to insult me back, and boy, did he do it well.When I saw the others, they were all serious, as if what I had said to them was a sentence. And maybe it was a sentence, but it was just a way to protect them, and if I had to be a bitch to do it, I wouldn't hesitate to hurt them if it would keep them alive.“We don't need to be aggressive here,” said the elf medic who had introduced us. “I think they need a moment to—”“We need privacy, Lu,” Biel answered her in a sweet tone of voice. “Go find the high priest Lion, please.”The blonde elf looked at him earnestly, and I could tell there was something longing in her eyes. That bothered me a lot, more so when she complied with Biel's order as if it was nothing.“Speak up, Nadine; we don't have our whole lives to put up with your tantrums,” Biel said, and I pursed my lips.“I don't owe you anything,” I replied immediately. “The soulmates test means nothing, so I'm not obligated to get involved with eith

    Nadine“We're going to give you today to think,” Drago said, and I looked at him in surprise. “You need to clear your mind so we can have a proper conversation. It's obvious you weren't planning to meet us, at least not now. So have a break, and tomorrow we'll talk about the importance of the prophecy. You are the chosen one, but the prophecy goes beyond you; it involves all of us.”Aris nodded seriously and released me carefully, then Connor looked at me doubtfully.“You told us what you want, but now I really doubt that's what you want,” Connor said with the drawing in his hand. “A person doesn't draw someone this way if there aren't feelings involved, and I have a feeling it was years before you were able to perfect these drawings.”I swallowed saliva, and Aris watched me with a frown.“Whatever you do with empathy, don't do it with me,” I asked, and the vampire smiled sadly.“I'm sorry to tell you I can't do that,” Aris said, and I frowned. “My empathy is something that is always t

    Part II. First TestDragoLeaving the room had cost me a lot because I knew very well how upset Nadine was. My beast wanted to take her, to take her away from the temple and protect her at any cost.I had learned to be calm and analytical over the years, but my dragon sent that to hell when he felt his mate. She was capable of awakening all our impulses.After being a loveless millennial being, knowing she existed was a miracle in itself.“Your rooms are close to Nadine's,” Lion said, and that gave me some reassurance. “I don't know if you know all about the mating bond, but once mates meet for the first time, the force of attraction will be much stronger; it will be uncomfortable for you to be away from her.”Connor, the young wolf, looked confused, so Aris put his palm on his arm, a clear sign of the trust and intimacy they had for each other. It was strange to see a werewolf and a vampire being friends, but it was proving to be interesting, their interaction.“It'll be okay; we'll a

    ConnorThe tension in the pack council room was intense.Many of the people who had one day reached out to me and urged me to become Alpha were there, but unlike that time when they smiled at me because I was just a scared young man, now they all looked at me with annoyance.“Only you can go in, Connor,” said Counselor Pier.It was hard to know what he had fallen for in the foolishness of playing along with Ms. Susy; it was depressing, not to mention disappointing, but I had to be blunt and direct.“My family can come in,” I said temperately.The mark on my wrist, which I shared with Nadine, Aris, Biel, and Drago, glowed again. In that instant, no one could ignore the divine sign. One of my grandmother's friends got up from her chair and approached us in bewilderment.“Is that a blessing from the gods?” the older woman asked, and I nodded. “It can't be.”At that moment a general murmur began in the room, and Nadine reached over to squeeze my hand. I really liked the fact that my mate

    Part IV. Dichotomy of loveNadineWhere is the sacred cloak?That was the thought that haunted my mind for the next three days of intense research we had on the cursed divine object. We had our noses stuck in the books.It was tiring.The worst part was that my mother hadn't shown up as she had warned, and the damn god who had created me hadn't given me a valuable clue. It was depressing, so I just hoped I'd have some great insight into it like I'd had with the Enchanted Forest, but it seemed like fate was kicking me in the ass.I sighed as I closed the last children's storybook.I was fed up with the situation.“Go get some rest, Nadine,” Lion said. “You're doing nothing but upsetting our nerves here.”I raised my eyebrows in surprise and then wearily shook my head.Whether I liked to admit it or not, Lion was right.“Well, I'm off,” I said before getting up. “If anything happens, please tell me.”The priests nodded, and I walked bound for my room, but then I sensed a deep concern co

    NadineAlister tried to get out of the prison, but I had my shadows catch him.“Why do you want to run away quickly?” I asked mockingly.“I have the power to finish you off,” Alister said.“And why don't you do it right now?” I questioned defiantly. “You don't kill me because you can't do it, and just now you feel afraid because I have the power. You are terrified to think what power it is that I hide, and truth be told, you should be terrified of me right now.”Alister stood up straight and looked at me haughtily.“You think you can kill me, but the truth is you can't because you know the Anarkhia Order would retaliate in a violent way, and I can swear to you that my killing you will make you suffer in spades,” the vampire said earnestly.It could be true; however, I would have to deal with that later; just at that moment, my thirst for revenge was much greater.“I don't care what the Sons of Anarchy do after they kill you; right now I just want to make you pay for slitting my mother

    NadineOutside the Enchanted Forest, the gloom was the prelude to disaster.There was no other appropriate description for what my eyes saw once we all got off Drago's back. My dragon mate, seeing the chaos, decided to remain in his primal form, and I didn't blame him. The guards and priests guarding the gate that protected the Enchanted Forest were fighting with all their might against the children of anarchy. There were hundreds of anarchist men and women of all kinds invoking dark magic and attacking all the caretakers of the forest.The worst thing about that scene was that there was one person who was enjoying that event very much. He was so much enjoying it that he couldn't help but smile, showing all his teeth.Alister was observing everything from the top of a tree, as if he were the king of the world.“This is bad,” Lion said anxiously, and I identified with his words. “I don't understand how the priests didn't set off the displacement alarm so they could flee, and the templ

    NadineMy mother couldn't be serious.It had to be a joke in very bad taste.“Impossible,” I said at once.“The reason the Anarkhia Order has hunted you is to use your powers against the gods,” the chaos god said seriously. “They do not size up the fact that you are a goddess with dormant divine power. They have no idea of the potential you hide, nor of the things you can actually do, things that no god, not even I, can handle. For that very reason you must prevent them from knowing the truth, Nadine; it is imperative that you access your full potential in order to take them down, and the way to do that is to find the sacred cloak. After that, you must channel the four divine objects to form a single catalyst that will help your divinity awaken. I can't tell you more because it's against the rules of destiny, but the key to everything is within yourself, Nadine.”“I don't believe a word you say,” I said, annoyed and afraid.“You are upset and very nervous; it is normal for that to be

    NadineWhen I was a little girl of just six years old, my mother told me the story of how the god of chaos came down to the land of Xalaris to explore the world he and his friends and siblings had created.Her sugar-coated version of the truth, one in which the god of chaos was a savior of sorts, did not last long in my mind as I matured.I understood perfectly what had happened when I read my mother's diary and put the pieces of the puzzle together. The truth went beyond the fact that the god wanted to know more about the people who worshipped him and understand things he could not comprehend from his sanctuary. The situation was much cruder than that.The first night that the god of chaos was in Xalaris, he descended to the city of Geraos, in the common area of Geo. There the great fair of the continent was being held. It was a meeting point for all the species of the world, so he would have a more entertaining perspective of all the species.What was his real intention? It was alwa

    ArisEvery time I thought it could get better, something got worse.And I was sick of things getting worse.I knew the forest wouldn't be a very welcoming place, but I didn't expect to fall off some kind of cliff in that wild way.I cursed when I heard Nadine complaining about the bruises caused by the fall, and when I got up, I immediately went to help her. She had bruises and scratches on her arms. That's why I swore those damn goblins were going to pay dearly for the attack.The only positive thing about that fall was that somehow, we had all ended up on a huge rose bush, perhaps the rose bush Nadine had seen in her visions. The bad thing was that it had too many thorns and had scratched us.The smell of blood made me hungry.“What the hell is this place?” asked Ale, and Nadine took a deep breath.These are the rose bushes I was being directed to?I clearly heard Nadine ask her shadows about it, and then I saw her serious and in decisive thought. I was still impressed to hear her i
