No longer was it a symbol of comfort and support for me. It felt more like a proverbial chain, weighing me down. Because I finally understood. Gabe wanted to keep anything from me that might hurt me. But I needed to know. Maybe he was waiting for me to finally be over Robert before he told me about
I sat down on the bed I’d slept in with Gabe last night, realizing that Tia Mel knew way more than I’d expected. But what else could I expect from her?“Robert’s mother keeps asking about him.” I don’t know why that was the first thing I told her. “She’d have a fit if we don’t come back soon.”I thi
**Evelina’s POV **I took in the woman’s low cut dark red silk dress she wore, the tits spilling out of it and her huge almond shaped hazel green eyes. She stood there, taking a sip of water, throwing her head back and displaying her unblemished neck as if it were some sort of damn invitation. My ey
“She kept wanting to talk with you,” Vincent hedged. “I told her maybe later. Right now isn’t a good time.”“You should have told her there was nothing to talk about,” I retorted. “The arrangement is finished between us. And with the amount I’ve given her, she’ll be able to live the rest of her days
Vincent looked like he wanted to say something to me. Probaby some bull shit about letting go of all my hate. Not likely. And he knew it. So finally, he nodded his assent.“Now if this is all, I am going to have a quick meeting with the ranked warriors and get home to my mate,” I declared. “Make sur
“Had,” I countered sternly. “As of three hours ago, we’re officially finished.” My gaze softened as I looked at her, gun still poised to shoot the bitch who hurt my mate. “Though, to be perfectly honest, she and I were finished when I realized that you were the only woman I’ll ever want, mi vida."E
**Evelina's POV**Maybe I was crazy. Or maybe I was just twisted. Because all I could think about when Gabe told me I was the only one he wanted to be inside of was that I wanted him inside me. And that bitch who’d told me I could never satisfy Gabe was going to learn I could satisfy him! I was so d
But Gabe…he was looking at me and only me. As if my breasts were the only ones he’d ever wanted.“These are beautiful. Tus tetas (your ti.ts)....so fucking perfect,” he murmured huskily, cupping them through my bra, thumb brushing over my nipples in a delicate caress.I arched towards him, needing h
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
