“You're going to waste energy trying to use your command voice on me,” I teased him, but then closed my eyes.I concentrated and searched for my beast inside me.Becca was hiding very well in my subconscious; however, I managed to find her, so I carefully approached her to wake her up.Shift with me
NadineI fell asleep very quickly.The problem with that was that I didn't notice when Aris came in or out of my room, so I got up a little embarrassed. I had fiddled with him; it felt like a safe thing to do; I just didn't foresee a simple joke turning into something momentous.I understood the bon
When we got to the room, Aris placed me on the bed, then repeated what Connor did in the bathroom and prepared the tub with smelling salts. He bathed me gently, then urged me to put on boxer shorts and a bathrobe; when I lay down on the bed, the vampire had a warm cream in his hand.“What are you do
NadineWhatever was keeping Connor busy lasted a couple more days.He didn't return to the shelter and that prompted Drago to help me with the exercises.The interaction of my she-wolf and the dragon was one to study.Becca was licking the dragon's scales while he burned anything she wanted just to
“It's your mate; at some point you will give in to the bond, and when that happens, she will become the Luna of our pack, so don't be obtuse and have a conversation with her. Tell her what's going on with the council. Tomorrow's is a formal call; if she could go with you, it would be easier for ever
With those words, I went upstairs to the bedroom and locked the door behind me.I wanted to be alone.I knew that, if anyone came near me, I was going to break, so I went to sleep.I didn't expect that, when I woke up, Rose would be sitting across from me with a frown on her face.“If we're talking
ConnorThe moment I saw how Ophelia saw Nadine, I knew I was in trouble.I was proud to introduce my mate to the world; I could shout it from the rooftops if it was that easy to do; however, Nadine had an important mission so we had to be careful.The reality was that with Ophelia knowing about Nadi
“If being a peace officer means beating everyone to a pulp to get them to calm down, then you are,” Aaron said. “You're also an inveterate seductress of women and that makes for extra trouble.”“It's not all my fault,” Inna said defensively.Nadine just watched her with a smile and couldn't imagine
Hakan laughed in amusement.“She's going to burn forever when I steal the gods' powers and assassinate them,” Hakan said. “She'll understand why being a god's whore is inconvenient.”“My parents were mates,” I said angrily, and Hakan raised his eyebrows.“You consider the god of chaos your father?”
Nadine“You don't have to do this if you want me to collaborate,” I said immediately, and Hakan raised his eyebrows.“Say no more, Nadine,” Biel said, and Hakan looked at Aria.Aria pulled Elle's blonde hair hard, and my friend cried out in pain.I noticed that her hair was dirty and had dried blood
“Impossible,” Biel said. “The shields were extinguished by the war.”“That's false,” Hakan said. “My maternal family is descended from a very strong lineage of Shields. It was decided to keep the secret for generations to preserve our existence because the Temple ordered our death. Nadia did not kno
I shook my head; my mother had never told me any of that. On the contrary, she spoke highly of my grandmother.“I don't believe that,” I said doubtfully.“Whether you believe me or not is your business, but that's not going to stop me from telling you what I lived through and witnessed,” Hakan said
NadineSeeing Lion's body on the ground brought back bad memories.I couldn't help but watch as a large pool of blood formed around him. I didn't know what kind of spell it was, but I knew very well that even though Lion had died, his blood was still flowing out of his orifices like water flowing in
I realized that all my mates were conveying calm and restraint.“We have to see what the anarchists want,” Biel said earnestly.“Death would be somewhat benevolent of their true intentions,” I replied sincerely.At that moment the time loop ceased, and the man who had trapped us in it was dressed di
NadineDrago's words gave me chills.Aris couldn't get into Drago's mind, and when I saw his stern expression, I knew things were going to get complicated. My dragon was telling the truth, and that was terrible on misunderstood levels.Drago vomited again and threw up everything in his stomach.“Nac
“We need to send a message to the priests and the mission guardians; we need to go back to replan everything,” Lion said. “Let's wait for him where we left them.”I felt the trip was a waste of time.So we walked to the place where we had arrived; we did it calmly, without haste, and trying to be as
We all felt and followed him.When we reached the vault, I stopped as an icy cold flooded my body, and I had a vision of the sacred cloak being carried out of the Temple.“What's wrong?” asked Biel, seeing that I had frozen near the stairs.“The cloak was taken out of the vault,” I said confidently.
