Nadine

I woke up with my racing heart.

I felt the power coursing through my veins, and terror flooded me as I realized that what I had experienced in the last 24 hours had been very real. However, I could not remember what had caused such an alteration, although I knew very well that it was a nightmare.

When I opened my eyes, I wished I wasn't standing on a hill with all my mates watching me with a frown.

“Since when do you have night terrors?” I asked Aris with red eyes, and I knew he was too upset. “I'm going to kill them, Nadine. Every single one of them that hurt you.”

I frowned, not understanding what was going on, then something in my mind clicked Aris' power, and I looked at him in horror. I couldn't believe it.

“Tell me you didn't get inside my head,” I said in fear. “Tell me you didn't see anything.”

“I had to do that to keep you from staying upset; I had a hard time feeling your terror,” Aris said unapologetically. “I had to wake you up right away or you were capable of send

    ConnorWatching my mate suffer was not in my life plans.Just before I felt the call of the temple, I was drinking with Aris and told him about the problem I was having in my pack: the council was pressuring me to accept an alliance with another powerful pack through marriage.The fact that the Elders were putting an ancient practice on the table so that at last my pack would have a Luna was insulting, but for them to entertain the possibility that I would never have a mate was humiliating.“Do they really want to marry you off like that?” asked Aris in horror.The old vampire had been a friend of my family for centuries and saved my great-grandfather in the last supernatural war, so he forged a strong bond with my family that was nearly broken by my father but which I regained. If there was anyone who could help me see things right, it was Aris. Somehow, he went from being my secret advisor to being one of my best friends.“Yeah, they say I have enough years without a match in the so

    NadineWake up!My she-wolf's voice made me groan with exhaustion.Becca had an annoying voice; she was very grumpy and demanding. The fact that I had a hard time controlling her from taking over and going to claim my mates spoke volumes about the level of energy I had to expend with her.You sealed me for many years, so don't expect me to treat you right, Becca said in my mind, and I opened my eyes immediately.I did it to take care of everyone, and that includes you, even if you don't want to accept it. Now tell me what you want, I replied annoyed.Pay attention to your surroundings and test your senses, silly girl. Becca's recommendation made me frown, and when I was aware that I wasn't alone in the room, I immediately sat up and saw an old woman sitting by the window, watching me curiously. She reminded me of someone, but my mind was dulled with all the sensations of change.“Who are you and where am I?” I asked, and she smiled.“I am your grandmother,” she said, and my eyebrows

    ArisI was always grateful to be one of the few empathic telepaths left in the world.It was a wonderful power that I had vowed to use wisely and I did so for a long time until I decided to live my own life, one that had been calm until I met Nadine. She was not a typical woman; she was distrustful, insecure, and fearful, but she hid it under a wall of indifference and rebellion.Thinking of ways to make her fall in love had awakened all my senses and feelings.However, nothing had prepared me for feeling Nadine's horror and seeing what she had seen: what appeared to be her own death.Drago immediately got up to help her and Connor went to find something to clean up the mess with; however, Biel and the high priest focused on me.“What did you see, Nadine?” asked Lion and I swallowed hard.“We need to talk about that in private,” Biel said.Then Jackson led the others away and Rose nodded.When Connor returned, Biel created an air bubble for privacy.“I hate this shit,” Nadine said bef

    NadineHearing the priest's words made me laugh very loudly until I realized that he was serious.“You're not kidding?” I asked as I saw that everyone looked at me very seriously.“No,” the high priest said and pulled an envelope from inside his robe. “I'm supposed to give this to you at the end of training. It's an edict from the Equilibrium Order that talks about what I say.”I looked at the envelope as if it were a pest.I took the envelope hesitantly as the high priest held it out, but I had the sense to open it in front of them and as I prepared to read, the sheet came to life with magic and a mechanical voice came out of it.“Miss Nadine Gabrielle Griffin, you have been formally appointed as a provisional agent of the Order Equilibrium. This appointment is given in substitution of a fatal penalty due to your character as an anchor of destiny. Your mission is sealed and consists of investigating, hunting down, and killing the top leaders of the Anarkhia Order. Completing the miss

    NadineHaving mates was complete madness.There was no better graphic description than that.My four mates looked at me with annoyance. Even Aris, who was to be the most careful and understanding with me, had not shied away from showing me his disappointed expression.“You are a beautiful woman, a goddess on earth, but you are very reckless,” Aris said and that made Biel get up in courage and walk away from me.Connor went to calm him down and Drago denied it before walking away in the opposite direction.“I didn't say anything wrong; the truth is your lives can't be changed or modified at all by me,” I said sincerely. “You all have responsibilities, more important things to do than avoiding my imminent death.”Aris eyed me sadly.“You insult the bond of soulmates. I understand your reaction is due to how sad your life has been and the fact that you can't trust people, but what you said was very cruel to us, especially Connor,” Aris said sincerely. “The wolf was forced to live up to a

    NadineNadine had a strong character.It was easy for me to empathize with what she went through as a child.I had lost my parents in a tragic way, so I knew how she felt about her mother's death, and after discovering why the Anarkhia Order was hunting her, I understood her reluctance, yet I was very confused by her signals.It was only until I saw her face, Biel, that I understood what was going on.Nadine was struggling to be indifferent to us, but her walls were coming down without her realizing it. A clear sign of that process was that she was excited to argue with Biel.It was easy for her to direct her anger at the one who had hurt her first.I didn't know if it would be a pattern, but I could tell she was feeling tense and frustrated because of the conversation we had, and she redirected that tension toward Biel once she found a reason to do so.The problem was that her smell was killing me.She smells delicious, said my wolf Will.It took all my self-control to calm down and

    BielWhen Nadine decided not to come down for dinner, I knew she didn't feel like dealing with us.I didn't know if it was good to have her away, although a part of me was begging to look for her.Because of our arrangement, we were comfortable with the fact that our rooms were close to Nadine's room, but I didn't trust her for a second. Nadine was daring, so she could find enough daring to run away.She wasn't fooling me.It was just a matter of Nadine looking for the magic barrier and destroying it with the snap of her fingers so she could get out of the place. And if she was as good an escape artist as she was before, she would have a certain head start on us that would make hunting her down a bit complex.“Are you okay?” asked Lion, pulling me out of my thoughts.The old man was not my favorite person at the moment.I really was annoyed with him; I couldn't believe he was part of a whole scheme to set Nadine up.I'm fine,” I said and finished eating. “I'll go to sleep.”“We need t

    NadineI hated dreams, but I hated visions even more.There were times when I couldn't figure out what was a dream and what was a vision because they were so easily confused. It felt like being inside the dream of a dream and many times I had to calm myself down to come back to reality.It was the first time I woke up with my four gourds near me and mistook them as part of a dream. Unconsciously, I had to show them how I felt about them, something I had learned to hide.I had only known them for days, but I was sure that if anyone dared to touch them inappropriately, I would spontaneously combust in a disastrous way.The worst part was realizing that I had hugged Biel and that he had kissed me on the head.The gesture alone disarmed me, but the meaning of it was driving me crazy.“It's okay, Nadine,” Aris said from the other side of the bathroom door. “Come and sleep again.”I laughed.“You think it's all as easy as that,” I said, annoyed.“No, I think it's too much more complicated t

    Part III. The siege of the shadowsNadineI was terrified to see the amount of blood that Biel was coughing up, but when I saw him fade away, terror gnawed at me. What he had just experienced with Drago did not compare to seeing death stalking the captain of the guard; it was a thousand times worse.We landed near the northern mountain range, right on the spot where I had first shifted.“This place is too cold for Biel!” I said quickly, and Drago placed him on the ground, then Aris and Connor carried him while Drago turned dragon.“Wait here; I'll come get you,” Connor said, and Lion denied."I apologize, but due to the captain's injuries, I—"“This isn't about the temple or the Equilibrium Order,” Aris said annoyed. “This is about saving Biel's life.”“Don't take him to shelter,” Samir said earnestly. “The captain doesn't have that much time; he needs medical attention immediately and for Nadine to activate the link to him; otherwise, he's going to die.”Hearing Samir drove me crazy,

    BielThe moment we landed at the entrance to the magic trail, I knew that betrayal had overtaken us in a terrifying way.I thought that somehow Nadine had been tracked to the Fairy Wasteland, but seeing Taina's torn body a few meters away, hidden in some bushes, and seeing Samir wounded made me understand that someone from our group had been the traitor.We had fallen away from the entrance, so we had a clear view of the panorama, something Aris didn't seem to see, so Drago roared, and Aris turned to see us, so I nodded, and we crept up to Nadine, who seemed to be furious.I didn't want to imagine her reaction when she saw Taina's throat slit; that was when Aris approached me subtly, once we were close.“Is anyone dead?” the vampire asked in a whisper, and I nodded, “I smell blood very strongly, but I know Samir is fine, wounded, but unconscious.”“It's the elf,” I replied in a whisper. “Someone killed her.”Aris looked at me in surprise, then Drago roared again, and I knew he had sur

    NadineThe magical creatures continued to kneel before me, and I did not feel good.I didn't like how that action made me feel, so I told them to get up immediately.“There is no need to kneel,” I told the creatures. “I did this out of a sense of justice; you don't owe me anything; you don't need to do anything else. You already gave so much during the years you were cursed. You would make me happy if you would just live your lives, guard the wasteland, and protect the magic.”What appeared to be the leader of the elves and the leader of the fairies looked at me in surprise.“You do not seek the sacred magic of this place?” asked the leader of the elves, and I denied.“No, I seek this grimoire because it is necessary to complete a mission,” I said calmly. “The moment I can, I will return it to this place.”The fairy leader smiled, and suddenly her wings unfolded, and she flew close to me.That startled me, and Biel took my hand immediately.“I am Alis,” the fairy said. “And that grimo

    NadineThe ghouls began to surround me and Drago in a hurry.They were all spewing a lot of black slime from their mouths and when I realized what the slime was doing to the floor, I knew I was in big trouble. That slime was capable of burning anything, possibly containing some kind of acid and I couldn't let them near Drago in his human form.I will die before they hurt my mate.One of them started spitting loudly, and the others took his example, so the shadows created a dome to surround Drago and me. That upset the ghouls because they started spitting at the same time and with the same force. It was obvious that they were trying to gain access to us, so I felt stressed.Wake Drago up, my she-wolf Becca ordered.I can't; it's not right. Do it, call him through the bond, Becca said.“I hope this works,” I said and placed my hands on Drago's chest.I pulled on the bond that held us, the golden thread that connected us, and then my mate opened his eyes. Drago was disoriented, but he c

    Nadine“What's wrong with Nadine?” asked Biel.He had walked quietly into the cave, and I looked at him sadly.There was no right or concrete way I could express what I was feeling; the dismay of knowing what had happened on the moor had me sick.The event was appalling.“The curse... The ghouls are creatures of the forest, innocent creatures that were cursed,” I said painfully. “How are we going to kill them? How can I kill those creatures that were once holy?”Aris and Biel met each other's eyes in surprise.I wasn't usually this emotional and empathetic; I used to be explosive, but the scenes I had seen had overtaken me. Maybe it was the water that was causing me to feel outrage over creatures that couldn't free themselves.“What did you see?” asked Aris after gently taking me by the chin in a vain attempt to calm me down.Biel denied it, and as he was about to move towards the water, both Aris and I shouted, “No!”“Why can't I drink from this water?” asked Biel with a frown. “It l

    Nadine“What's wrong, Nadine?” asked Aris after approaching me right away.I tried to speak, but the words wouldn't come out; the pain in my head was so limiting that I felt completely useless.“What did you touch?” asked Aris, and I pointed to the water. “I'm trying to get into your mind, but there's something blocking everything.”Aris went over to the water to sniff it, and when he was about to taste it, I pushed him as far away from it as I could. That made him look surprised, so I shook my head emphatically.I didn't want him to get hurt.I was trying to figure out if what I had taken was going to kill me or was just a physical debilitator, so I had to wait.“This water is bewitched,” the vampire said after sniffing it again and cursed between his teeth at seeing me like this. “We can't use this water, and you can't conjure elemental magic. So we must find a water source; that's why I'll tell Connor to do it. You must rest because we don't know what this water does.”I nodded, an

    NadineI 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.

    DragoWe 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

    NadineI woke up with pain in my body and with the desire to hit all my mates.Only bloodthirsty ones made me train the day before leaving, so I cursed through my teeth as we gathered the necessary things, we would take with us. 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
