Infiltration is up next. Will they be able to pull it off?
ZIYAHThe coven was located eight hours from Shadow Falls. So, what we decided to do was to pop into the mountains that were located thirty minutes from there. It was how we would get into the underground tunnels.I was nervous as fuck but was trying my best to reign in my nerves and compartmentalize everything.Each of us were connected with a Diaflo sigil, thus connecting us through a common mindlink. It would help to keep an open line of communication so that we were not taken by surprise.I looked into the sexy blue eyes of my mate, smiling when Byron stepped forward too. I loved knowing that they were both always with me.His thumb caressed my cheek as if I was the most precious thing in his entire world. He had always treated me like that though. I loved his tender care just as much as I loved his rough touches and the fact that he never treated me like I was made of glass. He believed in allowing me to make my own choices and supported me no matter what. He was an amazing man,
DANTE My mate’s panic and guilt washed down the bond after the rock was kicked. It was an accident, but she would never see it that way. She was someone who always took responsibility for her actions, whether they were intentional or not. We waited for a couple of minutes to see if anything would happen, but nothing did. I gently squeezed her hand, reassuring her that I was right beside her no matter what. ‘Let’s keep going,’ Astrid said to us all. We turned down a side corridor. She stopped us halfway through it. A pattern of stones was pressed, revealing a hidden keypad. She punched in a code. We held our breath, waiting to see if we were golden or not. I released my breath when a green light flashed on the keypad. Had it not been for Astrid’s involvement, I highly fucking doubted that we would have gotten this far. I totally understood why my mate had felt such relief when she agreed to help. Thankfully, nobody was around, so we could slip inside the passageway. My ears popp
DANTE Ziyah had initially been overwhelmed with the thought of how we would take care of all the innocents that came back, but she filled her role as Luna perfectly. I was not even surprised because she always went above and fucking beyond for those who needed it. I watched her flitting around from person to person who needed medical attention but were waiting for the medical staff that was brought into the packhouse. Those in serious need took precedence first from the staff, but my girl had enlisted the help of Caiathus and Xylern as well. ‘Havathi, I need somewhere private I can take a female for examination,’ Ziyah linked me. I walked over to her them and led them to one of the empty guest rooms. After assuring me that they had everything they needed, I closed the door behind me. I did, however, wait in the hallway just in case. Ziyah came out of the room ten minutes later, looking relieved when she saw me. Then she brought me inside. I was a little confused by the sheer deter
ZIYAH Sunlight shone through the open curtains. I wiped the sleep from my eyes. The clock said it was 10:00 A.M., and my body jolted upright in bed. Shit. I did not mean to oversleep one bit, but I must have been more exhausted than I thought. Honestly, I did not even remember making it to bed. There was a note lying on the nightstand. ‘I didn’t want to wake you up because you needed to sleep after the amount of magic you used between the coven, healing some of the wolves, as well as healing both Brynn and Jackson. I’ll be in my office whenever you’re up and around. Love you, babe.’ A smile stretched across my face because I had absolutely the best mates a person could ever ask for. They had always been so incredibly patient and sweet to me. Never had they made me feel fragile, but they did treat me like I was precious. What female would not swoon over that behavior? I got dressed and ready for the day before making some coffee to bring to Dante. I added just a little bit of hone
DANTE We quickly got dressed so that we could head out to Dark Moon. My mind was reeling with the fact that my mate met the Goddess. Not only that, but she gave her the ability to not only disarm the devices but also gave her a gift. I could not fucking wait to find out what gift she had because it would most likely be pretty fucking badass if it was meant to help with the Darkies. ‘Our Little Fae is part Little Wolf,’ Byron mused. ‘That she is. The most important part of that entire statement is that she’s OURS,’ I said, raking my eyes over her delectable form. Our girl was currently bent over to put her shoes on. It gave me the perfect view of her ass. She was bound and fucking determined to kill me today with her outfit. It was a dress that stopped a couple of inches above her knees with bell sleeves and a minimal plunging neckline. Light blue with a floral pattern. It cinched at her curves to show the killer figure that she has. My girl had been working each day to rebuild her
ZIYAH I had never imagined seeing anyone from the Dygani clan ever again. The last thing that I had heard was that they had been eradicated because of how powerful they were. Energy manipulation was an extremely impressive feat because it could be used to alter something’s temperature or even be used as telekinesis. On top of that, manipulating the elements was something nearly unheard of, which was what made it such a powerful weapon. As far as I knew, only one element could be manipulated. Their element was chosen and bound to them from the moment their magic manifested. I would explain of all this to Dante later on because I did not want to these women to think that we cared about their abilities and coveted them. We certainly did not. I cared about these women as people first and foremost. “I’m Ziyah Trelinin. That’s how I know of your clan. Grandmother Ayla had helped train some of your warriors many years ago. I had no idea that any of your clan were still alive,” I told them
DANTE “A person’s gift resides in a well within their body. That’s why Elle has a well for Moon Fire and why you have a well that holds the collective souls. So, sit down cross-legged and try to actively relax your muscles,” Ziyah advised. This was our first lesson on truly training my gift to become the weapon that it was created for. Weapons could be destructive in the wrong hands, but I would never misuse my gift. No, I would only use it to protect what was ours and those who were innocent. Ziyah had me close my eyes and hold onto my hands. Her thumbs rubbed soothing circles on the backs of them. “There’s a second part of my gift that only my father knows about because it’s very dangerous for that knowledge to get out. It was what I used on Marcia to get the information on the explosives. My consciousness can connect with another person’s, allowing me to infiltrate their memories and mind. However, if their consciousness is stronger than mine then I would be stuck in their mind,
ZIYAH I was really looking forward to our night. It would be a brand-new experience for the both of us, but I had no doubt in my mind that we would thoroughly enjoy it. Dante was a curious creature by nature. He loved to know the ins and outs of everything. Perfectionistic to a degree that I had only seen in one other person – myself. There was burning curiosity about my surprise, but he had been unable to persuade me to give up any clues. Anticipation would make it even better. It was getting dark by the time that we finished dinner. We made our way outside and shifted. Byron and I raced to the falls. There was no wonder why wolves loved running. The exhilaration it caused flooded one’s body with a boost of adrenaline. Running this way was the same way that it felt like when I flew in the sky. Byron was a very fast wolf, but I was able to keep pace with him fairly easily. His body whipped around once we hit the finish line, growling at me because he won. I would beat him one of th
