**Evelina’s POV**“M****a!” Gabe cursed, sitting up and looking around, an arm thrown across me as if to hold me back.He still thought we were back in the church.“It’s OK…we’re safe.” I gently pushed against his arm, trying to move it away from my chest, but he wouldn’t relent.Waking up, his firs
**Evelina's POV**“Probably one of the witches from the roof,” Vincent supplied. “They were aiming for you.”Gabe distinctly muttered under his breath that the attack had come from behind. He looked at Amaya again with…was it suspicion? I hoped not.“If I hadn’t gotten there in time, they might’ve d
There, laying just inside the entrance door, was my papa, an empty bottle of alcohol tucked into his side as he lay passed out.“Who got him alcohol!” Gabe roared.All of the men exchanged uneasy looks.“He snuck out to the bar when we were busy trying to pick up a trail on the witches,” Luca explai
***“I got in touch with Alpha Lorenzo’s beta as well, just like you instructed.” Vincent’s words pulled me from my musings.We were on a jet. Gabriel must have plenty of these if one exploded two days ago and he already had another one available for us to travel on. Papa was snoozing peacefully, hi
***Evelina’s POV ***Stepping out of the limo, my eyes soaked in the beautiful city around me.All around me was a fusion of modern minimalism and medieval grandeur. I’d travelled extensively before. But I’d never been to Spain. And I’d never seen a city quite like Barcelona. The beautiful skyline,
I gazed up at him, those words settling deep into my heart. I was tempted to close the gap. Tempted to push my lips against his and give into this damn attraction screaming to be acknowledged.The elevator doors sliding open brought me back to reality, and I hastily turned my face away from him. His
**Evelina's POV** The significance of what he wanted was not lost on me. He wanted me to meet the alphas with him. Like we were equals. Partners.“Can you tell me a little about them?” I finally asked, realizing that even if I left him humiliated, I would do my best to play the role he asked of me.
“I don’t know... maybe…,” Gabriel finally assented, inclining his head slightly. “If I was assured of your happiness. I installed my men around your university…I’ve had men following you since…” His eyes remained steady on the far-off crashing waves. “I know you were single for a time…” He let out a
“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
The darkness receded as quickly as it had come, replaced by the vibrant colors of Avalon once more. The stream sparkled in the sunlight, the trees swayed gently in the breeze, and the flowers bloomed in their full glory. I took a deep breath, and then let out a small yelp of surprise when I realized
**Evelina's PoV** The misty air wrapped around us like a nurturing shawl, the soothing sound of the stream a constant background music as the vibrant greenery enveloped me in its embrace, a living sanctuary of peace and magic. Trees towered above us, their vibrant green leaves dancing in the gentl
Suddenly, the trials I had had to face in the forest of reflection made complete sense. It was a trial Syra had faced herself, though in a completely different context. “You cannot blame yourself for your sister's choices,” Gabe finally grunted, crossing his arms. “You are right, Gabriel. I cannot
**Evelina's POV** Apparently she had been in Gabe’s vision as well. Because he immediately moved to shield me with his body and extended his claws defensively, poised to attack Sarah. “You’re the evil witch from the past!” he growled out. “I won’t let you harm my mate!” Sarah looked at Gabe and r
Sarah’s eyes widened in shock and fear as she saw the intensity of light glowing in my hands.“How…is this possible? You wield it…” she trailed off, looking around for the torches we had often used to carry the light of the flame into battle. Looking for the chest that often held a remnant of the fl
And in the next moment, something hit me from behind, rendering me immobile. I fell unconscious and when I awoke some time later, I heard shouts and screams from far off. And sinister laughter. Familiar laughter.It was then that I realized it was Sarah’s laughter.My heart pounded in my chest as I
**Evelina’s POV**I was leaning against a tree, lost in thought. My dark hair flowed down my back, all the way to my knees. I sighed, turning to look at Ramiras. He was the leader of the Order of the Flame. A chivalrous knight. A wonderful person. Pity he loved that bitch Sarah.“Ysabel,” Ramiras sa
Without a word, they raised a hand and summoned forth tendrils of shadow that twisted and writhed in the air, reaching out towards me with malicious intent. With a swift motion, I swung my sword. It glowed with a brilliant white light as it clashed against the tendrils of darkness, creating a blind
