A shiver ran down her spine as she realized the gravity of what she had witnessed. There was more to this forest than what had been seen— a hidden world lurking just beneath the surface. Determined to uncover the truth, Nicole inched forward. She had seen three figures and they looked very familiar
Blow after blow rained down on Nicole, each strike carrying the weight of Asha's training and strength. Nicole's body absorbed the punishing hits, the pain surging through her.The force and strength behind Asha's blows were overwhelming, leaving Nicole reeling from each heavy impact. It was clear t
Grappling a rogue by its neck and snapping it, Liam looked around. Nicole was missing again.They had destroyed a couple of magic spots, slitting the throats of all the witches who manned them, and he could feel the disgusting dark magic easing up, but where was his mate?The battlefield raged aroun
James smirked. "Okay, let's do this. Mind linking the pack members. Let them fall back and behave like they're losing."Within the chaos, Liam glimpsed flashes of Nicole's power. Waves of energy rippled through the battlefield, signs of her abilities as the witch bane. It served as a beacon, a remi
Back at the designated area, they were taking count of who was present and who wasn't. Plus, if the witch was from Darkmoon like they had suspected, he or she would know exactly where they were retreating to and try to get there before them. The trap was that they had surrounded that part of the fo
As Nicole ventured deeper into the forest, an eerie stillness surrounded her. The air felt heavy with an unusual concentration of magic, and yet, it seemed not to affect her. She moved with purpose, her senses heightened, searching for an exit that remained frustratingly elusive.Every step she took
With every step, the voices seemed to grow louder, intertwining and overlapping in a disorienting chorus. She closed her eyes, blocking out the sights of the forest and focused on the voices, trying to discern their source."You thought you could escape me, little omega? I will always be with you, h
Sudden humorous laughter filled the air. "Dear Nicole. You're really proving yourself worthy."Nicole paused, this was a new voice that she didn't recognize."You're doing well for someone with a past as mentally distorted as yours."Nicole's head spun as she tried to comprehend the revelation. The
“Stop bluffing.” Marisol's smile dropped the moment the dagger slipped into her hands. “We both know that I'm not bluffing, witch.”Before Guinevere could react, Marisol drove the dagger into her heart in one forceful swing. Her eyes blew wide, and she fell right on top of Marisol, pained choking s
The air crackled with magic, and their surroundings became a battlefield of elemental forces. Marisol conjured torrents of fire, sending waves of intense heat crashing towards Guinevere. But Guinevere laughed, her own magic swirling around her like a shield as she countered with blasts of icy spears
Marisol ended up in a dimly lit chamber, the air thick with ancient magic and foreboding. Her grip on the dagger tightened, its energy pulsing against her skin as if urging her forward.She didn't know where she was or how she got there. All she did was allow her senses to lead her, and it seemed th
By the time the truth had fully sunk in, Cedric was a whirlwind of fury and grief. He turned on Leticia, his eyes blazing with a primal rage as he grabbed her roughly, his grip like a vice around her throat."Cedric, stop!" Caleb's voice rang out, his tone commanding. "This won't bring Marisol back.
Caleb's brow pinched in concern as he took in Cedric's disheveled state. “How? Was Guinevere here?” He looked around frantically and found no sign of infiltration. He turned back to his brother. “Don't worry, we'll find her," he assured, his voice a steady anchor within the chaos that was Cedric's m
In the hushed stillness of the night, when the world lay shrouded in darkness and all was quiet, Marisol rolled out of bed. It was time.She knew what she had to do. A sense of duty pulsed through her veins, driving her from the warmth of her bed.Silently slipping out from beneath the covers, she m
Marisol's heart swelled with conflicting emotions at Cedric's declaration. His eyes, conveying his utmost sincerity, almost had her bursting into tears where she sat. Instead, she forced a smile, her applause joining in with the others, though inside, she felt a pang of sadness.“That's wonderful ne
A smile spread across Marisol's face as she turned around in his arms to face him. “Nervous? Why on earth…”“Okay, I was nervous on your behalf.” He admitted with a sheepish grin, and Marisol regarded him with a fond smile. “But Leticia was right. When we retreated, they prowled around aimlessly for
Marisol stepped out of Leticia's chambers with a million thoughts bubbling in her head. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. Maybe she wanted to do both. It was so unfair. Her parents had told her she was destined for greatness. Was this fate's idea of greatness? To be made to sacrifice
