Crossing The Bridge Chapter 52: The Sirens of War
[Max’s POV]“Alpha, I have Elder Braden on the phone,” Beta Jason said while handing me his cell phone. “Elder Braden, we are at the front gates of Kali’s fortress, and the magical ones almost have his shields down,” I spoke while watching more troops march out of the gate.“The other elders have warriors in place in and around the cities to guard their territories as well. I have put in an order to the Governor to utilize our armed forces. Citizens are being warned now to go to shelters or in reinforced areas of their homes,” Elder Braden informed me.“How are we going to explain the supernaturals to the humans? We need to use the military as the last resort and try to allow our supernatural armies to do most of the fighting to limit human casualties and exposure,” I said.“I have the same concerns. Humans are not strong enough, even with our advancements in weaponry. It is also incredibly dangerous to use heavy weapons and explosives in the cities since they are so densely populated
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 53: Battles On All Fronts
[Damen’s POV]Max’s wolf charged at the army advancing from the fortress gate, with determined ferocity. His massive Alpha wolf form slammed into their bodies and broke their line.The armies immediately turned and circled in on Max-Dom. Having an aerial view allowed me an advantage of seeing where the circle was weakest, and I dove like a missile at them taking several of them out with my sword before flying back up to circle back down again.As I dove to slice more of them in half, Sam zig-zagged through them with his sword. The other angels, fae, and demons of my warrior force, flew at them as well, picking off several at a time each.Bodies of supernaturals are being ripped apart, tossed from the air, and severed in half. Each swing of my sword splattered blood everywhere. The splatters stained everything it touched, including my armor.The lieutenants I sent to the cities sometimes mind-linked me to tell me that they were pushing Kali’s forces back toward the direction of the for
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 54: The Pain
[Damen’s POV]For a moment I took in the scene below me. The blood and gore were everywhere. The moans of the dying and injured mixed with the guttural grunts of many who were still left fighting were horrid, but I was not disgusted. Sulfur and ash from the fires that t rage through the city filled the night's air.As I hovered above this battlefield, several opposing demons flew at me simultaneously, each sinking their razor-sharp claws into the gaps of my armor on my legs. Their putrid stench reeks of rotten flesh.I swung my sword and managed to dismember one of the demon’s arms. The demon’s arm landed with a thump, the sound of breaking bones and the gush of blood as her arm separated from her torso. She screamed in agony, as she fell, grabbed her arm, and writhed on the ground.The other managed to fly up behind me and just as he attempted to claw at my neck, I turned quickly, dug my fist through his leathery chest, ripped his still-beating heart out, and crushed it in my hand.As
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 55: The Demon Will Suffer
[Gia’s POV]I bite down on my lip to keep from screaming. The liquid that covers me tastes metallic and bitter. My head dizzies as I have held this long breath in.The pure horror of what is happening to me right now has me in full retreat mode into the darkest shadows of my mind.The fear of what is happening, what will happen, and how I can ever come back from this, commands my thoughts first.Shame and disgust follow suit as thoughts of how my mates could ever look at me the same again. Without my mates, my son, and my sister, I have nothing.Their love and support are the only things that give me strength and confidence. Those powerful emotions keep me safe. Without them, I would be a shell living a half-life. The damage to my heart from losing them will be unbearable.My heart shatters at the thought of how many years it took for me to escape the nightmares and black hole of depression after the first time I was raped, and how will that affect me as a mom.The hundreds of screami
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 56: A Moment of Satisfaction
[Gia’s POV]The lava from my core went straight through my cervix and engulfed Kali’s dick with a fire so hot that it could burn hell itself. The heat is scorching, and I can feel the raw power of my bridge radiating from within me.Kali's body convulses in agony as my molten lava rips through his shriveling erection. I opened my eyes and watched as his screams of terror ripped through the air, and I revel in his fear and pain as I watch him suffer for raping me.As Kali attempts to remove his digit from me, I clench my pelvis bones to prevent him from exiting just yet. My lava-filled rage intensifies, and I scream out in pain and fury as I watch his form desperately trying to escape.I am filled with satisfaction knowing that the wrath of my bridge is burning through Kali's body and soul. I want him to feel every molecule of pain that he put me and everyone else through. My eyes remain fixed on the demon as his screams echo in the air; I can feel the heat radiating off his skin as it
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 57: Angered The Beast
[Gia’s POV]My eyes fell onto the glass bed encasing hundreds of red roses - a bed of thorns fitting for someone who has been pricked by many thorns before in life.For once, I found myself laughing at this bed instead of being filled with fear at what it represented; it showed how far I've come in life, often full of fear, hopelessness, and locked in my mind. It was then that I knew I would never allow myself to enter into a state like that again - no matter what may come my way.I sat up on the bed and looked towards the metal beams of the ceiling; they were a stark reminder of where I was before and who had brought me here - but they also reminded me of all those who had helped me since then: Sam, Damen, Max, Jace, Jason, Trinity, amongst others. As long as they stayed by my side, nothing would ever be too daunting for me to face head-on again; we would always manage to come out victorious together.I thought back to the events that had unfolded after Kali’s departure. There had be
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 58: Layers
[Gia’s POV]Looking in the direction of Thanatos, or as I prefer to call him, "Death" and being careful to not make eye contact again, questions dove to the forefront of my mind. What is his purpose here? Why is he following the orders of a supposed lesser being, a demon? If he knew what Kali did to me in this room, why didn’t he stop him?“Are you truly that vile, to allow someone to be sexually assaulted on your watch,” I questioned him with an angered glare. He stopped removing the chains from my wrists, looked down at me, with a stare so cold it could freeze time itself, and replied, “You were not on my watch, and I told you that I do not have my full powers anymore, angel. I am in debt to Kali, so what he does or does not do is not for me to question, he said.“Nice of you to avoid taking any responsibility, Death. I know he is not the only powerful being in all the realms, dimensions, whatever is out there” I spat.He reached down with stealth-like speed, grabbed my chin with hi
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 59: Severed
[Gia's POV]Death then proceeded with setting up a small ritual around the altar and began chanting words that were foreign and unintelligible to me. As he chanted his voice began to grow louder and take on an ethereal quality.His body seemed illuminated by an unseen light source and his eyes were momentarily drawn into two bright golden orbs before shifting back again into the deep red that they were prior. The two reapers had begun chanting in unison with him without pause while standing motionless at either side of the altar—staring straight ahead with vacant expressions on their faces.Suddenly the three of them stopped chanting and Death turned towards me with a finality in his expression which felt so ominous that I could no longer keep my fear contained within me.He placed a hand on each of my shoulders and said softly yet firmly, “Now Angel, you must keep your mind calm and still if you wish for this ritual to be successful. Take some deep breaths and focus only on the prese

Crossing The Bridge Chapter 72: The Dark Angel; Angel of Darkness Rises
[Gia's POV]The moment of impact of their magic upon my head produced tidal waves of energy into my being. It felt like a thousand hurricanes had collided with my skull, each with its unique fury and force, and they were all converging in an opus of chaos within my body. It was an experience beyond words, beyond comprehension, and yet, somehow, it was also beautiful in its terrifying way.The air around me seemed to ripple and distort. The world's colors blur and warp as if viewed through a broken lens. A bright light flashed before my eyes, momentarily blinding me before fading into a pulsating aura of energy that engulfed my entire body.I was thrust through an invisible portal in the sky and found myself falling feet first as the perception in the portal inverted. It is as if the two realms mirror each other's gravity, one where on one side you fly upwards, and the other you fall downwards.As my human vessel fell through the portal, a burst of energy filled my ears, drowning out a
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 71: Metamorphosis
[Gia’s POV]Staring up at the four goddesses, I began feeling even smaller in these vast phenomena of life, death, the after, and in-between. “Once again, I see your wheels turning in your mind, my child,” Visha said. “How do I become what you want me to be? My soul has not even progressed to the next stage of the divine being. I know I was on the “soul” path to leveling up, but I failed in this life,” I said in a melancholy tone. “We brought your body here with you. We need that vessel specifically, as we coded it for your transformation. You did not fail! You are still on your soul path, but with an extra boost in leveling up,” Hecate declared.The word transformation pressed forward in my mind. “Yes, you will go through a transformation, one that will change you from mortal to immortal,” Visha replied to the thought in my head. Of course, she can read my mind, I said with an internal giggle. “Wait, immortal! But I will outlive Max and my son,” I questioned in panic. “The blessings
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 70: Air of Revelation
[Gia’s POV]Time slowed as the towering goddess walked from behind the triple moon goddesses' thrones to me. My soul buzzed with electricity the closer she got. Like an Amazon woman in some cheesy 70's movie, her height was unbelievable, standing at least ten feet tall. Her skin shimmered as if every cell was made of diamonds. In contrast, her dress is the boldest color of sapphire. The dress was knee-length with triangular-fringed ends. A shawl covered one of her shoulders, and both garments were bound at her waist by a diamond-studded belt. My eyes followed the trail of her exquisite beauty to her dark black hair that disappeared behind her shoulders. Upon her head, she wore a triple-banded gold crown with fourteen dangling Lemurian stones placed approximately two inches apart. When my eyes locked on her sapphire-colored eyes, I felt mine roll back into my head. A warm and gentle breeze flew through me, and I could feel her large hand take hold of me. A feeling of warm sand unde
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 69: Deceased
[Someone’s POV]“She sure does not disappoint, does she,” an unknown woman’s voice said in the distance. The voice was like a silk thread being pulled through a needle's eye, weaving through the air with a hint of mischief and curiosity.Feeling weightless in my once physical self, as if my body had been stripped away and all that was left was my consciousness, my eyes struggled to open to see which side of the karma coin my soul landed in this time. A loud metal-on-stone sound reverberated in my mind, as light seeped in through my sight. The sound pulsed through my mind, it felt like sharp vibrations were shooting through my entire body, causing my muscles to tense and my bones to ache.With a sudden burst of force, my soul slid back into a physical body. The feeling was jarring, like being thrown into the world without warning. As I gasped for air, the pressure of the cold floor on my face brought me back to my senses.Unsure if anyone could hear me, I managed to get the words, “Wh
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 68: Shattered
[Max's POV]Still in awe of the magnificence of my mate’s ability to open the portal in front of us all, stunned my whole being. The portal shimmers and glows with an otherworldly light, illuminated by my mate's power. I stand mesmerized, unable to take my eyes off the scene unfolding before me.It wasn’t until Sam snapped at Damen and me through the mind link that I was fully drawn back to the present. “Is the spell wearing off for you both,” Sam asked. “I don’t feel any more effects from it, and the wolfsbane is almost out of my system as well,” I replied. “Great, I have already loosened the binds on my wrists and am working on my ankles now. Max, I know the silver is the worst for you, but can you and Dom manage enough strength to get free,” Sam inquired.My mind felt a jolt as Sam's message reached me through the mind link, causing a tingling sensation in my head. My fingers continued to fumble and struggle against the chains, causing them to dig into my skin.The silver chains ar
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 67: Drowning
[Gia's POV]Staring into Kali’s eyes, I knew our fates were sealed. Kali's eyes were a deep, soulless black, like dark pits of coal. In them, I saw swirls of fiery red, reflecting the flames of destruction and death that burned within him. His grin was wicked and sadistic, revealing his true malicious intent.I did not falter or look away, as he marched straight towards me, with a grin that was twisted and malevolent, a clear sign of his sadistic joy.Our destinies seemed to align at this moment as if guided by the spark that had opened the portal between worlds. A mere mortal against a beast of all beasts, not quite the devil himself, but built by the devil with the sole purpose of the extreme demise of the beings of this globe. Every move he made exuded power and pure evil.Stopping roughly two feet away from me, Kali’s smile grew wider with a profound sense of inflated ego. “You have done well, my Queen. Your work is not only exquisite but spot-on and accurate. Bringing me directly
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 66: The Portal
[Gia's POV]Staring at Kali’s eyes, black as night, glaring back at me with a demonic intensity. They seemed to pulse with dark energy, and I could see the twisted smile on his lips as he spoke. My mind quickly processed his words, “Open the portal, or watch as your mates lose their heads.” Fear gripped me, but I refused to let it show. My mates were counting on me, and I couldn't let them down. With a racing mind, I tried to come up with a plan. I knew I had to open the portal, but at the same time, I couldn't let Kali have what he desired. The triple moon goddesses' instructions were clear - the portal must be opened.Stop it, Gia, I scolded myself within my mind. I couldn't let fear control me or cloud my judgment. Taking a deep breath, I looked at Kali with determination, I can do this. The instructions from the triple moon goddesses flash before me, like a hologram projected onto the air. I can see the glowing images of Hecate and Selene, their expressions solemn and determi
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 65: Open The Portal Or Heads Will Roll
[Gia's POV]We walked through a different door out of the ritual chamber and entered a long hallway. The air was heavy with incense and the sound of our footsteps echoed against the stone walls. I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was being watched, that the very walls were observing me and whispering secrets to each other.As we ventured down the hall, the torches lining the hallway seemed to ignite on their own as we walked by. It was both impressive and unsettling, the way they lit up without any physical touch. What type of craft is this-magical motion detectors, I thought with an internal giggle as I followed death with the others in tow. When we reached the end of our path there were doors made of rich, dark mahogany, their polished surfaces glinting in the light of the torches. As Death pushed them open, blinding white light flooded through, temporarily blurring my vision.[Max's POV]Waking up from Cyrstalla’s spell, I felt my wrists and ankles burning from the silver
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 64: Mind of Darkness
[Gia's POV]The darkness seemed to stretch on forever as I flew back, the walls of the tunnel closing in on me until I hit something solid. It was pitch black, but I could faintly make out the outlines of the walls and ceiling. The darkness was so thick that it seemed to swallow every trace of light, the only source coming from a faint glimmer bouncing off the walls. I could see a liquid pooling around my hands, a viscous black substance that seemed to pulsate and writhe in the dim light. Again, in this darkness, I thought as I stood up and wiped my hands on my dress. "It will not be long now, my child," I recognized Hecate's voice as I stood in the darkness. Her words echoed around me, bouncing off the walls and filling the void with her presence. "Hecate?" I called out, my voice trembling slightly. I couldn't see her, but I could feel her energy surrounding me. "Yes, my dear," she responded, her voice coming from all directions. "What is this place?" I asked, looking around in
