Nicole speaks up next, her voice a gentle reassurance. "Liam, she's still our little girl, but she's also becoming a woman. We have to trust her judgment and support her choices."Liam sighs, a mixture of resignation and acceptance coloring his features. "You're right, Nicole. I guess…… I just wasn'
"My gut tells me something's off, Nicole," he admits, a frown etched into his features."Liam, I feel it too," Nicole confesses with a sigh, "But seeing Marisol so happy, I'm willing to do anything to keep it that way. We'll just have to tread carefully and investigate what might be causing such fee
Marisol stared into the eyes of her mate. She had never felt so exhilarated in her life. She felt like she would burst with joy. But then, in the depths of her consciousness, an ominous feeling wormed its way in. It was so small that she concluded that it was fear of the unknown. "Yes," she breathe
"What?" Liam raged the next morning. Something about Caleb didn't sit well, and the gnawing doubts that plagued him had kept him awake throughout the night."Marisol said yes?" Liam bellowed, his voice echoing through the packhouse.Nicole, normally a voice of reason, remained quiet. She understoo
Liam sighed heavily. "Marisol, we just want to make sure you're making the right decision.""I am, Dad. Please, trust me," Marisol pleaded, her eyes searching for understanding in her father's gaze.Nicole, sensing the fragile balance, stepped forward. "Liam, let's give them a chance. If we push too
The journey to Redwood was faster than Marisol expected. She had wanted to bask at the moment and feel every emotion as she embarked on a new chapter of her life.Most females would have been afraid to leave. They would have been terrified of the unknown, but Marisol had been trained her whole life
He sighed softly, his expression troubled. "I just... I'm not sure how they'll react to us. They weren't expecting a new person. You know, being new and all."Marisol reached out, gently placing her hand on his arm. "We'll navigate it together, Caleb. We're a team now, remember?"Caleb managed a sma
Caleb's grip on her tightened, offering silent reassurance. Yet, as they approached what seemed to be the center of the pack, the atmosphere grew even more oppressive. Marisol felt as if the very air she breathed carried the weight of the pack's collective anguish.She struggled to find her voice, a
“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
