I sighed deeply and brought my hands closer together.“I don't know how it's done, but you have to pull on the bond between you; feeling the connection will cause the protection to kick in, and when the bond senses that one of you is hurt, it will start with a healing process,” Lion said. “Or in the
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
“I don't think I can close my eye,” I admitted aloud. “Besides, if the creatures come in, I have to be alert to defend Drago, who is unconscious and can't defend himself.”“I have a feeling he will sleep a lot, but when he does, his poison will be very useful for destroying ghouls,” Aris said and pr
Her words sounded sweet to me, so I smiled at her.Aris approached me slowly to kiss me, and as he was about to do so, I felt again a sharp pain in my head. I screamed from the intensity of the pain, from the burning and the tears that came easily from my eyes.“Shit, you're crying blood,” Aris said
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
Aris and Biel were patiently listening to my description, taking note of everything, and suddenly, a small centipede approached me; just as I was about to push it away, it turned into Connor.My mouth dropped open in surprise due to the shock it generated in me.“When Lion said you were a natural sh
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 co
“I'm already safe, so you must trust that we'll get out of this,” he said firmly. “Let's go to the entrance, and tell me why you don't want to kill the ghouls.”I walked to the entrance and told him what was going on; Drago unconsciously took my hand and calmed me down. That gave me strength, and wh
“That's not the topic of conversation here; no matter what you guys think, the truth is simple, and even if you don't like it, we won, so Nadine is going to give me her damn powers,” Hakan said.The shapeshifters dragged a human woman who was pure bones.The woman didn't seem to be fully aware of wh
DragoWhen I saw Hakan's surprised reaction, I knew I had bought time for us.I was badly hurt, but I didn't let them play with my head.I had millennia of practice resisting torture, so I knew very well what I was doing. Biel coughed in pain, but I could see his look of recognition. He nodded subtl
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
