Gabriel’s POVThere was something wrong with Evelina’s story. She was a terrible liar. Her story about spending time with her tia was fishy. Aside from that, knowing which potion to use almost immediately…spotting the effects of Amaya’s symptoms…These were not just things someone picked up from spe
However, now I wasn’t so sure I wanted to be apart from her.“You want your mate living with a man like that? Even if he is her father, he can’t be trusted!”“Men like that can’t stay away from their addiction for long,” I added darkly. “Hopefully he’ll be dead before he can become a real problem. A
“Papa!” Evelina exclaimed, reaching for him.The fool was cowering in a corner, flashing everyone. He didn’t give a shit about anyone but himself. And here Evelina was constantly putting him first. Her life was precious. His was worthless.“Get the old man!” I yelled to Vin, moving swiftly.My eyes
“The jet caught fire and exploded right as we jumped, I don’t think our pilot survived,” Vin explained, looking around wildly. “Where’s Amaya?”The wreckage of the jet floated around us, a grim reminder of how close we had come to a watery grave. I felt remorse for my man who’d died trying to make s
Gabriel’s POVWe needed to get dry and somewhere warm. Evelina was trembling and in danger of developing hypothermia. Amaya’s wound looked worse than it really was but I would feel better if we could get a first aid kit for her. The men I had stationed to keep an eye on Evelina were part of my pack,
Relief washed over me at her calm demeanor. I gestured to Evelina behind me.“My ma-ah wife,” I said hastily, realizing I had to be careful what I said in front of humans. Evelina shot me a dirty look. “Needs to change. So do the rest of my companions.” I gestured helplessly to everyone.“Come,” the
Her shivers eased and her breathing steadied. I could feel her body temperature rising and breathed a sigh of relief. She’d be all right. Some of her ire from earlier had gone down somewhat. Slowly…the tension that usually crackled between us softened into something else, something unspoken and raw.
Evelina’s POVI was freezing. I’d changed, had a warm blanket around me and still I felt the absence of Gabriel’s warmth as if someone had suddenly stuck me inside a freezer.I hung my head, shame coloring my cheeks. If I were being honest with myself, I enjoyed him holding me. I was so fucked up in
Asmodeus bowed his head.“I have commanded them to fall back and have begun to seal the portal. They will be sucked back into the portal at the devil’s sinkhole.”And that was when I saw him clinging to a lone tree left standing in the wake of the chaos that this mountain had endured. His arms were
With a surge of power, I launched myself at the fallen demon, my hands glowing with a brilliant golden light I was airborne, my ring of fire remaining around me, eager to attack at my command. As my fist struck him, the power of my assault sent Asmodeus flying backward.But my victory was short-live
Despite the fear that seethed within me, I stood tall and threw back my head, letting out a war cry that echoed throughout the night. "I don't care who you are or what you think you are," I retorted, my voice trembling with determination. "All I know is that you've hurt the people I love, and I will
“NOOOOOOO!!!!” I screamed out, the bright yellow light rippling all around me as I screamed my heartbreak. My father was gone! Hot tears rolled down my cheeks as I clung to him, crying out in anguish.I would give anything for his warm embrace one last time! Anything. In his shadow, I had always fel
**Evelina’s POV**“You are fucking dead, PENDEJO!” Gabe roared out, moving to run after Joel.My hands shook as I held Dad to me. The man who had raised me. The man who had given me his unconditional love even when I most likely did not deserve it for defying him at every turn. My teen years had not
I felt his body convulse once, then twice, and then, finally, I tore through his neck, severing his head from his body.The demonic head soared through the air and landed at my mate’s feet across the room. I looked at her, seeing the dark shadows wrapping around her. But her eyes, her eyes were her
And then, in an instant, I felt it. Like a swarm of slimy serpents, shadows crawled up my legs and began to rattle the chains that held me. I looked around sensing the air pulsing with demonic energy. But its malicious intent was not geared towards me.“What the fuck?!” Axton yelled as the demonic s
“I’m sorry I failed you. My love wasn’t enough to change you,” Syra sobbed as the light around them grew brighter.Sarah struggled against her, eyes wide in shock. But somehow, Syra held firm, tears flowing down her face.“Let’s end this, forever,” Syra whispered. “Now you cannot let more demons int
He collapsed onto the floor, his knees hitting the ground with a dull thud. His bewildered gaze searched for her in confusion. I was frozen in shock, watching as shadows slithered around him, tendrils reaching for his skin like an embrace from the depths of hell. With a gut-wrenching scream, he hunc
