I felt shivers and fell to the floor in pain.I began to cry for the child I was and never would be.Connor immediately came down and began to howl as I cried, releasing my pain and giving me comfort. I hugged the wolf tightly, and then Aris carried me out of the earthen prison I had made.My shadow
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 warn
“Mine the same; Dragis will always have a home for me and my family,” Drago said, and that gladdened my soul.I looked at Connor seriously.“You need to calm down before you face the council,” I said to my wolf mate. “We have to have all the relevant notifications to make coherent moves.”Or I might
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, Con
A full hour passed since the temple priests had arrived, and the discussion turned into a battle of egos that seemed to have no end.Never in my life did I imagine that the day would come when I would be forced to give up being the Alpha of a wolf pack when the dream of any infant was to be the guid
NadineI 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 w
I laughed and shook my head.The fact that my mates' powers were powers of the god of chaos was amazing; however, I was worried that they were a double-edged sword. I just hoped that this mission would be over once and for all. I needed the fourth divine item to channel the power and have all the to
Connor felt terrible.I didn't know how to fit those words in, so I squeezed his hand to encourage him.At that point, people made room for us to walk, and so we did.When we got to the center of the square, we saw all the council members, except Connor's grandmother's friend and Rose, dressed as cl
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.
