What Aris, Connor, and Drago had done was mark me again.Those marks had thrown my system into turmoil in a way I couldn't explain.To my surprise, the one who approached me was Biel.He didn't look comfortable, but Aris said something that made me understand what was going on.“You have to mark it
BielNadine was devastated.The news that people she loved but couldn't get involved with out of fear were dead was devastating. She felt completely guilty about what had happened, and the worst part was that it hurt her not to have shared in the people at the club. They all seemed like good people,
“How about the divine objects themselves or blood?” he asked, and Lion opened his eyes wide.“Blood?” asked Lion. “Where are we going to get blood from a god?”I smiled, and then Lion understood what I was asking.His hand shook, and then he shook his head vigorously.“Can we do that kind of spell?”
NadineImpossible.That was the general thought of all of us.Biel had stood with his mouth open for a full minute before shaking his head. Connor was frowning while Aris raised his eyebrows in puzzlement at the sight of the map. The only one who didn't look surprised was Drago.“Why aren't you surp
“Why isn't the dot red?” I asked Biel carefully.“Because I made your blood oxidize,” Biel said mildly. “The result was that, and I don't understand why.”I raised my eyebrows, and Lion decided to answer the question.“The traces are the shades of divinity you have in your blood,” Lion said. “We hav
“Is everything all right in the pack?” I asked with interest.“The place is holding up, but the blow perpetrated by the counselors is too strong; it has permeated everyone in ways that can't yet be explained. People hold out hope that Connor wishes to be the Alpha again, but I believe my grandson ha
DragoThe Elite Priests were ignoring us; none wished to have a direct conversation with me, Biel, or Lion. The old priest was annoyed by that kind of rudeness, so he went straight to plan B after four days in which no one knew how to answer our question.I was surprised at how easily and quickly he
“What's wrong with you?” I asked the guardian as I dug through the bags of food.“Nothing,” Biel said calmly, but I looked at him with arched eyebrows. “It's nothing important.”“It's too important for you to be upset, to the point where Nadine can sense your anxiety,” I said calmly, and Biel cursed
“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
