***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
**Gabe’s POV ** Maybe it was being back in my home country, but I felt myself in lighter spirits. My mate was here where she was supposed to be. Briefly, I recalled my previous decision to set her up here in this very penthouse. What a fool I’d been. There was no way I could leave Evelina here. Eve
**Gabe's POV**Evelina was a vision in deep indigo and silver lace.Her hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of silk, shimmering under the soft glow of the chandeliers. Her eyes, a shade of dark brown that reminded me of the deep forest soil after a heavy rain, held a mixture of uncertainty.
Slowly, I let my fingers trail over her shoulder before curving behind to her shoulder-blade, and finally trailing down the bare skin of her spine. The beautiful woman in my arms gasped, leaning into me with a shiver of, dare I hope, anticipation.As we leaned in closer to each other, I could feel t
**Evelina’s POV**When this size zero woman with her double DDs spilling out of a Versace designer dress hurled herself at Gabe, I’d thought she was a friend. But when she planted her inflated pouty lips on my mate, I saw red. An inferno of jealousy ignited within me, ugly thoughts swirling like bla
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
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
