More voices surrounded me, a cacophony of laughter and hissing that seemed to seep into the very marrow of my bones. Frozen in place, I stood transfixed by the pulsating flames, their unnaturally red glow casting grotesque shadows that danced along the walls of the cavern. Shadows of winged men, and
Gabriel's POV “Fuck...fuck FUCK!” I roared out, punching a dent into the side of my car once I realized that Evelina no longer slept soundly inside. “She escaped!”Amaya was still dealing with those stupid witches. I gave them the money. Now it was time for negotiations. I hated witches. Except for
With a snarl, I leapt onto the warlock, digging my claws into his shoulders and chest. He screamed in pain and fury as I bit down onto the warlock’s wrist, ripping his hand away from his limb. I felt the bone crunching beneath my teeth, primal satisfaction coursing through me. This. was the same han
Evelina's POV“I found it inside the cave,” I muttered, shifting in the backseat as I answered Amaya’s question.I didn’t know how to explain it. But something had called to me. This box…was mine. And something told me to keep it safe until I could get it to my tia Melanie. My hand ran over the circ
I felt so out of place, like an intruder in this world of seduction and shadows. I couldn’t help but jump when Gabriel’s hand clamped over mine.His grip tightened as he pulled me along and we made our way through the dimly lit club, the faint scent of perfume and alcohol filling the air. Music poun
Gabriel sat me down so that my back was now to Vin, and then he took a seat behind his desk where he picked up an important-looking document.“Have you found a new replacement for the capo I killed?” Gabriel asked lightly, as if he was asking about the weather.“Ahh…yes I did. He should be here soon
Gabriel's POVMy business with the new capo took longer than I’d anticipated. I couldn’t help how wound up I was. Fuck what was Evelina doing to me? Usually, I wouldn’t have batted an eye and let Vin have his fun. But the very real possibility of Evelina getting a look at another man’s dick made me
“Gabe, how’d the meeting go?” Vincent’s tone was cautious.Good motherfucker, be afraid of me. And don’t get too close to my mate.“Well enough. Let’s go Evelina. We’re leaving,” I said more harshly than I’d intended.There was a delay in her reaction. I took in the spark of rebellion in her eye. Sh
Evelina’s eyes narrowed, her anger flaring like a wildfire at his words. “You may have power, Asmodeus, but we have love and unity. That will be our ultimate weapon against you,” she replied. And then came her words through the mind-link. ‘You get him from behind, I take him from the front.’ ‘Lov
**Gabe’s POV** The moment we stepped through the portal, Amaya and Elena disappeared. We knew they would. They had to pass the trials first. The only reason Evelina could open up a portal was because we had passed the trials of Avalon. My heart thudded in my chest as I watched them vanish, knowing
“Mi vida,” I breathed looking down at her as my breath ghosted her lips. “From the moment you entered into my life, everything changed. You are my anchor and my storm—both the calm I seek and the fire I crave. I have known battles, I have known loss, but with you, I have found something I never thou
**Gabe’s POV** My mate walked towards me, adorned with a wreath of vibrant green vines resting on her head like a crown. She was a vision of regality and power. Her dark green silk dress hugged her figure, highlighting her curves and emphasizing the royal status of a Coven Head. But despite the of
“You were here the whole time?” I asked in surprise, hugging her back. “Having a mate that can make you invisible helps,” Uncle Brad chuckled, patting my back before moving to stand next to Tia Mel. “Can I just say, I am so happy Mel can just be the female-gamma now. No more witchy stuff.” Aunt Me
“I may not have wanted this life initially,” I began calmly as tension rolled through the room. “But I have never shied away from fighting for what is right. I may have been reluctant to embrace my magic, but once I did, I never looked back.” Pausing for effect, I raised my gaze to meet Aria’s. “And
**Evelina’s POV** Tia Mel sat at the head of the table, her lips pressed into a thin line. The circles under her eyes were pronounced. I could tell she was exhausted. Whilst I had been able to get some rest, she had been trying to manage things with her coven and had sent help to Avalon. But things
“We will not have heirs,” I replied briskly. “At least not biological ones. It has already been decided by us.”Sinclair’s lips pressed into a thin line. He was scowling.“And who will become alpha after you then? I know Evelina did not want children, but I had hoped things had changed now…” Sinclai
“Do you plan to take over as alpha for your father’s pack?” I asked.Elena snorted, shaking her head.“My younger brother will be alpha. I…” Elena trailed off hesitantly, eyes suddenly flickering towards Amaya. “I had a mate who was an alpha,” Elena admitted, looking down at her hands.I noted the w
