Minutes later, Biel had pushed the water bubble toward what appeared to be an island, and Drago landed near the beach. When he changed to his human form, the dragon ran up to me and checked me fearfully.“I'm fine, really, but I think Biel is not as well as he wants us to believe,” I said, and Drago
NadineI coughed as I came out of the water.Aris hadn't let go of my hand for anything in the world; that was a blessing because I felt like I was going to drown. And so bad was my discomfort that I couldn't help but throw up everything in my stomach.“You've swallowed a lot of salt water,” Aris sa
I was trembling with fear at that point, so Aris no doubt walked over to me and hugged me. He didn't give me the warmth that a warm body is capable of giving me, but he gave me a chance to cry.“I'm sorry, Nadine, I shouldn't have left you alone,” Aris said as he wiped away my tears. “Do you want to
I felt my body boil, and I didn't know if it was what Becca had said earlier, but I felt myself lusting after Aris. The vampire sensing my desire simply let go and let me pick up the pace. That was nice for me.“You're greedy,” Aris said and suddenly bit my lip.I saw him tense up, and his eyes went
Nadine“Let the guys know what happened,” asked Aris. “I'm surprised Connor isn't bugging you at every turn.”I closed my eyes and tried to talk to Connor and Drago, but it was impossible; I felt like something had sealed my mind.“I can't talk to them,” I told Aris fearfully. “I feel a mental block
We walked through what had once been a throne room, and then I remembered a story Elle had told me about the origin of the enchanting sirens.“I think we're in the ancient palace of Crete,” I said with a frown. “Elle told me the origin of the sirens of her kind. She says it all started with the anci
Biel frowned and looked at Aris and me seriously.I could tell right away that Biel understood that Aris and I had bonded. Connor didn't care about that; he was too intent on me being in one piece, which made me glad.I didn't hesitate to hug the wolf tightly.“You guys got here so fast,” Aris said.
NadineBiel's automatic response was to freeze the sea serpent.After that, Biel applied pressure on the snake with air magic, and the monster exploded into large pieces that fell on us. That caused the sea monsters around us to shoot bolts of power from their tridents, and Aris sent an explosive sl
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.
