Evelina's POVLying in bed, I turned my back towards the bathroom door where I could hear Gabriel running the water. The bed was large, enough to keep a decent space between us, yet I couldn’t help but speculate if he had different intentions for the night. Suddenly, I heard the door open to the bat
I could feel his breath on my neck, warm and seductive.“Vos sabes que lo queréis tanto como yo (you know you want it as much as I do),” he whispered, lips running up and down the column of my throat. “Let it happen, Evelina. Let go of your fear. There is a reason you are my mate. I complete a part
It took me a minute to realise he meant my ring. My engagement ring.Fuck no. That was all I had left of Robert. How could he expect me too…My eyes widened in realization. That ring was just another symbol to him that showed he didn’t possess me. Not completely. My eyes narrowed in on Gabriel as I
The darkness in the room began to surge with ominous energy as the shadowy figure of the woman floated closer. The surrounding shadows seemed to grow more dense, more…malevolent. I could feel the familiar hum of my innate magic begging to be let out. Protect yourself, it screamed at me.I took a dee
Gabriel's POV Amaya and I stood back to back, surrounded by a circle of witches on the balcony of my penthouse. Amaya’s breath came out in labored gasps. She’d expended too much magic. The witches were too powerful for her. The plan had been for her to hold them off while I escaped with Evelina. Sh
“RUN!” I growled out angrily. She was putting herself in danger!But instead of listening to me, she reached out a hand to help Amaya up.“BEHIND YOU!” I roared frantically, watching as another witch approached them.Evelina turned just in time to hold up the broadside of the knife and deflect a bal
Evelina’s POVI landed on top of Gabriel, his body taking the brunt of the fall as he cradled me against him.“M****a!” he cursed, the wind knocked out of him.It took me a moment to catch my own breath before I lifted my head from his chest to search for Amaya. She was face down in a patch of grass
I decided now was the time to speak up.“I know where we are. I used to live here…with my papa.” I pointed down the street.A sense of poignancy filled me. I could tell you the way home from here with my eyes closed. There were memories of me learning to ride a bicycle on this very road. I still rec
“Let them try,” he said in a deathly whisper.With a deafening crash, the stained glass windows shattered as more demons broke through and descended upon the ancient church. My eyes instinctively shot upwards, witnessing the horrifying sight of winged beasts swooping in and nuns frantically dousing
**Evelina's POV** Gabe grabbed me by the waist, pulling me away from the blinding light of the portal.“We have to help her!” I yelled, thrashing against him.I couldn’t leave Syra alone to fight. Something told me she needed our help. She was no longer the young powerful Witch of Avalon. It was al
Great Witch of Avalon…more like pain in my ass. Syra gave an exasperated sigh and I watched in surprise as a sword materialized in her hand. She demonstrated a series of movements with her sword, each one precise and calculated. And then she took aim and her sword found itself embedded within the
Evelina nodded, her eyes reflecting the peacefulness of the moment. “No matter what comes our way, we’ll always find a way back to each other and back to this place. This moment...it’s important. It’s a reminder of what we are fighting for. To have more peaceful moments like this together.” “We fig
**Gabe’s POV** Slowly, I sank into the cool water of the lake, breaking through the sparkling surface that shimmered like diamonds in the sunlight. “I’m so proud of you,” Evelina sighed next to me, as she followed suit and sank into the water. “I knew you could do it.” She shot me a saucy smile. “
At those words, a sense of peace washed over me. I knew that, as much as I loved Evelina, I was also beginning to understand my duty and my role in the grander scheme of things. “You want me to believe that my love for Evelina and this land will make me strong enough to protect her? Even against gr
She leaned in and took my length into her mouth, making me jerk. I moaned her name and knew this moment would be etched into my mind forever as she bobbed her head up and down, and her eyes met mine expectantly. I watched Evelina’s eyes, full of love and desire as she pleasured me. Her warm mouth e
**Gabe’s POV** I entered the room Evelina and I were staying in to see Evelina sitting up in bed with a book in her hand. It took me a minute to realize it was the witch book that Sister Agnes had given her. She put the book down and glanced up at me, eyes full of concern. “I went looking for you,
“CARAJO!” he yelled in anger. “I just think your mate needs to work on his temper,” Syra added distastefully. “Cursing in the sacred realm of Avalon is frowned upon!” Syra yelled loudly towards Gabe. Gabe looked at her and said something in Spanish that made me gasp in mortification. “¡Que te den
