Our forces will march into the war next. Are there any POVs that you'd like to see?
MADDOXFinding my mate in the shower like that broke my fucking heart.The past two weeks had been hell for her because she felt that it would be on her if anything went wrong. No matter how much anyone tried to convince her otherwise, her thinking never budged. I supposed that many leaders felt that way though.Thankfully, I was able to hold her and help her to release some of that stress and also help her to align her thought process so that she could understand that we were all a team. Then she let me hold her in my arms for the rest of the night.Our people were up and ready to head over to the field between Nightshade and Shadow Falls. It was where everyone would be meeting up before we left for the battlefield.Cooper rushed through the crowd and threw his arms around Beauty. He had not been thrilled to be told that he would be named Dark Moon’s Alpha heir if anything happened to her. However, I knew that he would make her proud if it ever came to pass. She believed in him, and s
KALEN“Hello, boys,” I drawled.I did not need to be a mind reader to know what was going through theirs right now. They were trying to figure out the best way to capture and use me. It was precisely one reason why Vessels kept their identities under lock and key.It had been a calculated risk that we had to take. I did not have to worry about our side betraying the knowledge, but the other side was a risk. However, if everything ended up working out like it was supposed to, then their side would cease to breathe by the time that this war came to an end today.“Before this goes any further, I figure that you deserve to know the truth,” I told them. I took a moment to revel in the wariness in Calvin’s eyes. This would certainly be fun. “You thought that you were the one to capture me, but you played into my own trap. See, I needed to identify what in the fuck Draxy here was. I was exactly where I was meant to be, and you were none the wiser. Did you ever stop to realize that we made our
LILAC I knew that my parents were really worried about me being here, but all of us trusted in the Goddess Hecate to protect me.Not to mention that I had Dad with me and two Hellhounds to protect me as well. They were so adorable! Sure, they could be scary, but I was in love the first time that they rolled over, and I got to rub their bellies. They were just like a puppy as long as you were not a bad person.Another level of protection was that the Hellhounds had tall ring of fire around us so that we did not have to worry as much about people getting through to us.I closed my eyes and could see flickers of light. It showed me all of the witches. They were all over the place. There were more than I could even count. Why would they all want to hurt people? Should we not be wanting to help people and use our magic for the greater good?My arms were spread out wide and head was tilted backwards. I opened up all of my senses and imagined pulling all of those lights to me.There was a ru
DRAXTHIHow did everything get so fucked up? Calvin. That was how. All of this was on him, and I would thoroughly enjoy murdering him. I would relish it all as my poison crawled throughout his body. The fear, excruciating pain, and screams would feed my tarred soul.My mouth salivated at the mere thought of sinking my teeth into Calvin. He was not my usual flavor. I preferred adolescent virgins. However, I made exceptions when it was warranted. Calvin certainly warranted it.How dare this bitch come into my domain and declare war! She would be another exception. I have never consumed a Vessel, but I wanted, and needed, to consume her.I released a high-pitched whistle, calling my children to me.Seven of them showed up. Four of them were in their first form with their wings out. Our wings were just like serrated blades – dangerous, lethal, and the perfect weapons. The remaining three of them were in their second form, essentially making them tanks. They were far more durable in this fo
KALENMy entire life has prepared me for this moment. Sure, I had no damn clue about my destiny until it was revealed, but I was prepared to fight against any evil that needed to be stopped whether that was in the form of a lunatic Alpha or a demonic spawn of a Douchey God.As much as I would love to torture Draxthi for all that he has done, I would just have to leave that honor with Hades.My body was already feeling the effects of this war thus far. I sustained numerous injuries. It was like our healing was on crack ever since we finalized our mate-bond, so it was a testament to the damage that I had been taking that I was a walking billboard for someone who got their ass beaten. It was worth each and every pain though because it meant that Nika and I were fighting to free this world from Demacores and those who aligned themselves with the army.Normally, only Alphas and Lunas who have taken their titles could feel tether breaks. However, my neat little bond ability bypassed that sti
KALENI felt power building up inside of me. I had been told that we would have access to the strength of every Vessel that came before us, so I knew what this was. I welcomed it even though I could feel that it was ripping me apart.The truth was simple to digest – I would not survive this. Selene whispered into my head that the blast would destroy every enemy in this war that was currently still alive. That was what set me at peace with what was about to happen.My teeth latched onto my lip as the power was blasted from me so that I would not scream.I really wished that I could have told Maddox and Neo goodbye. They had suffered so much in life. My heart broke because I knew how badly this loss would impact them. It would destroy them.I just prayed that they would be given a second-chance mate who would help them survive and have a life filled with the happiness that they deserved. As much as it hurt me to imagine them with another mate, I just wanted them to have a chance at all t
MADDOXIt was absolute hell as I waited for Beauty to come back to me. I knew what Jaxon and Selene had said, but I was afraid to hope because I was terrified that I had lost her entirely.Alyson Noel had said that you never knew what you had till you lost it. Now, that was the fucking truth.Beauty had effortlessly become the most important thing in my life and the thing in my life that I could not live without. That was a truth that became so fucking clear when she died. My life meant nothing without her. I would not be able to survive it. Some might think that it was extreme of me to think like that, but they could shut the fuck up because they were not me.‘Son, you are a Demi-god. As such, your bond with Kalen is extremely potent and stronger than a typical mate-bond. Losing her, or her losing you, would rip that bond apart, leaving behind a void that could never be filled,’ Mom’s voice filtered into my mind.Well, fuck. At least that explained things and proved that I was not ov
KALEN“Why did I feel a family link break?” Grandpa Mike asked once we eventually made it back to the pack.It had taken hours to clean everything up. The bodies of our enemies were all burned into nothing. It also helped to cleanse the grounds, so it was a win all the way around.Those on our side who lost their lives were transported back to their packs. Their leaders promised to send us a list of everyone that would be laid to rest.“Because I technically died.” I shrugged my shoulder. “t didn’t take though. Selene gave Nika and me the power of every previous Vessel. It destroyed all of our enemies, but it was too much for my body to take. Then I woke up in the Underworld, and my new best Godly friend asked me to cleanse certain people of their darkness so that they would be tortured even more for all of the vile and evil shit that they had done in their lives. It was really damn satisfying.”I gave him a small smirk, but even I could tell how it showed my exhaustion. My body was st
