Blakely The back door swung open without so much as a creak. Inside, the scent of charred flesh, now stale from our time away, hung in the air. As Orion had said, the phoenix flame hadn’t touched the house or furniture. No, it only cared for the living. I stared down at two—no, three—piles of ash. One of them had a few teeth sticking out. ‘That’s disgusting.’ Aris sneered. We’d just stepped into the main hall when Orion’s voice slipped into my thoughts. ‘The enchantment I put on the place is still intact. If there’s anyone in here, they won’t be able to leave.’ I was once again caged between my mates as we wandered throughout the house, checking rooms and closets to ensure there weren’t anymore assassin’s lurking in the shadows. By the time we made it to Orion’s study thin beams of sunlight were spilling through the windows. In the center of the room, perched atop an old pedestal, sat the very book that held the prophecy of Lunette’s disappearance. Azrael strolled over and snatc
Curse of the Wolves Chapter 106
Blakely At first there was darkness. The darkness of night, of unending pain, of loss so sharp and bitter that it left my soul in tatters. At first there was darkness, and then—then there was light. A tide of silver pushed and pulled within my veins, controlled by a force so much greater than myself. I drowned in a sea of it, swallowed by the moon’s unfathomable power. Unable to hold my breath any longer, I sucked it into my lungs. Hot and cold, soft and harsh, it invaded my body in a torrent. I could feel it rushing through me, delving into muscle and bone. I could feel it changing me. Changing me into what though? In the dark a voice called out. One that gleaned no hint of recognition, and yet I knew it as well as I knew my own. Sister, daughter, ancestor, and friend… Her voice was a melody I’d heard a thousand times. The voice that sang within my dreams, that whispered in my veins, that curled around me in the darkest of nights when I had only the moon to light my way. E
Curse of the Wolves Chapter 107
Blakely Early that morning the four of us, Lina included, sat around a hand-carved coffee table, with one of Orion’s ancient texts sprawled out before us. I glanced over at my sister, who I’d caught staring at me several times over the last hour. Her words still rang in my ears. “You died…I saw your body on the ground. I saw the blood.” Her lungs rattled as she sucked in a sharp breath. “You died and now you’re—now you’re a Goddess—our Goddess.” Understandably, she was struggling to wrap her head around it. I would’ve been as well had I not been able to feel the magic in my veins and see the difference through the lens of my own eyes. “So, this…” Lina frowned, her brows gnashing together as she surveyed the book on the table. “…this prophecy, it’ll tell you where the Moon—I mean, Lunette, is imprisoned?” “Not exactly,” Draco murmured, “Prophecies are rarely ever cut and dry.” Orion thumbed through the pages, his arm brushing up against my own. My breath hitched, remembering last
Curse of the Wolves Chapter 108
Blakely Since we were out of stardust and had no time to make more, we were forced to travel on foot. With my body now reborn into that of an immortal, I couldn’t complain. Each step, be it uphill or down, was as easy as breathing. There was no strain in my muscles, no soreness, even after several hours had passed. While we walked, my mates helped me practice my magic. “Lunette never spoke of limits to what she could do.” Orion explained, his eyes scanning the forest for hidden threats. “I know she was more powerful at night, but she was no weakling during the day either.” I took turns listening to each of my mates, learning the constraints of their powers. Moonlight was similar to any other light and could be manipulated at will. I practiced with Draco, calling the shadows and bending them, twisting them into hiding us from view. I wielded light with Azrael, blending us into our surroundings for seconds at a time. Even Lina had stopped her complaining to watch and throw out tip
Curse of the Wolves Chapter 109
Blakely My immortal reflexes worked something fierce, because my first instinct when I awoke was to start swinging. Before I even managed to pry my eyelids open, my fist made contact with a scruff-covered face. A familiar yell pierced my ears. I blinked, clearing the fog from my eyes to find Rocco of all people just a few feet away. He clutched his nose, blood spurting from the broken bone. It seeped into the raggedy tunic and breeches he wore, soaking into the dirt at his feet. “You blue-haired bitch!” He sputtered, gasping and sputtering as I stared at him. “Well, what in the hell was that for?” I stood from the wooden bench I’d been placed on and quickly scanned my surroundings. There were four walls around me, all comprised of hard packed dirt. A few rusty lockers sat on either side of a wooden door set with thick metal bars. “You kidnapped me.” I snapped, “Did you expect me to hug you for it? Call me a bitch again and I’ll break more than just your nose.” Rocco cocked his h
Curse of the Wolves Chapter 110
Blakely Now was probably a really bad time to mention I had to use the bathroom. With a wave to the crowd, Ulrich strode over to the stone wall caging me in. A single leap was all it took for him to clear it, landing in the box with the other Gods and Goddesses. A snarl slid past my lips, which only made his grin widen. My eyes darted to the left, latching onto a familiar face. It was Deidamia of all people, the Goddess of Chaos. She was as stunning as ever, wearing a gown of multi-colored fabric that wrapped around her curvaceous body. An identical strip covered her head, secured around her neck. Her eyes danced like two gold coins, and as she tipped her head to the side, I swore I could tell what she was thinking. Wreak some havoc. Cause chaos. Show them all. Those in the stands began to stomp their feet, creating a beat that sent adrenaline coursing throughout my body. Azrael, Draco, Orion, and Lina sat on the edge of their seats, practically hanging over the wall of the
Curse of the Wolves Chapter 111
Blakely Held in place by dozens of shimmering chains stood the biggest snake I’d ever seen. It was the size of a school bus. No, even bigger. Ulrich stood and raised his hand, silencing the crowd. “The Goddesses final opponent of the night is the mighty—the fearsome—Basilisk!” The crowd roared and cheered as I fought to keep from pissing myself. ‘Control your bladder, woman.’ Aris huffed, ‘I refuse to die covered in urine.’ ‘Your priorities are ass backwards.’ “As you all know, one glance into a Basilisk’s eyes will kill you instantly. As an immortal, our dear Goddess need not worry about that. However, it’s stare can still cause terror. Terror that paralyzes.” Ulrich swept a hand through the air and two Goddesses I did not recognize stood to their feet. Both took a stand on either end of the box and proceeded to raise their arms. Magic flowed from their fingertips, spreading along the crowd. Within seconds a dome formed high above my head, blocking the patrons from the carnag
Curse of the Wolves Chapter 112
Blakely After my victory, the metal gates blocking the entryways lifted. Rocco stood in the mouth of one, motioning for me to follow. There was a slight tug in my gut as the spear and armor I created melted back into silver wisps of moonlight. They floated off the sand floor and into the open air before vanishing. Staring at the back of his leather vest as I trudged after him, I huffed. “If you’re not leading me to my mates, and then a scalding hot bubble bath, I’m going to feed you to my wolf.” He snorted, his shoulders shaking as he chuckled. “Someone’s a cranky Smurf.” “This someone just killed two mindless zombies, a beefed-up scorpion, and a snake the size of tour bus. I think I’ve earned the right to be cranky, Rocco.” “Touche, but I think you’ll change your mind.” I never got the chance to ask why. Rocco led me through the locker room, to a door I swore hadn’t been there earlier. We headed down a flight of steps that delved into the earth, then walked down a tunnel that
