After days of being stuck in a cage, Liam was finally sane enough to be released from confinement. He hid the internal turmoil, rocking his mind pretty well. He needed to because that was the only way he could find Nicole.His determination didn't do anything to erase the anguish, anger, and heartbr
Everyone exchanged a glance, and the tension in the air was palpable."I mean, rumors are circulating that she was supposed to leave—gain her freedom after the witch was vanquished. What if that was what she did -" Connor continued.In a flash, Liam was at the other end of the table. He grabbed Conn
Liam scoffed, his anger threatening to take over. "She was the Luna of Crimson."Asha's eyes widened, "the same pack where she was a slave and tortured?"Liam grunted, he didn't believe a word from the lips of Asha."Oh, Garrett knows all about it," Asha taunted."Shut up," Garrett hissed, "Nicole w
"You've all come so far," Nicole remarked, to the group of people sitting around her. "You've faced unimaginable hardships, but you've found the strength within yourselves to rise above them. You're warriors, every single one of you.""Thank you, Charlene," an older woman chorused. An applause resou
Tasha placed a comforting hand on Nicole's shoulder. "Maybe it's not about letting go completely. Maybe it's about finding a way to heal and rebuild so that when the time is right, you can reunite with the one you love."Her words resonated deeply within Nicole's heart. It was a reminder that she co
The trio spent the rest of the training session practising defensive techniques, honing their reflexes and coordination. Nicole marveled at the determination and progress of Emily and Lucas, their youthful energy matched by their willingness to learn.As they took a break, the sun dipping below the
The forest seemed to close in on Liam as he ventured deeper, his heart heavy with the weight of Nicole's absence. Every step seemed to echo the ache within him, the gnawing emptiness that consumed his soul without Nicole by his side. James and Garrett exchanged concerned glances as they followed hi
Annoyed and tired of being suppressed, his wolf surged to the surface, a tumultuous transformation overtaking his body. The powerful muscles rippled and expanded, bones cracking and rearranging themselves as he underwent metamorphosis. James and Garrett, caught off guard by the sudden change, quick
“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
