“NO, Evelina! I came back early to surprise you!” He exclaimed, his voice frantic as he finally pulled his hand out of his pocket. I flinched, preparing for him to point his gun at me. But then I sagged in surprise and relief when I saw it was a box. A plain green velvet ring box. He suddenly fell t
The strangled gasp of pain eliciting from his lips however told me he was not immune to whatever just hit him. “Not so mighty when it’s silver dipped in wolfsbane,” came the deadly jibe. “It’s me you want,” he snarled out, turning to face the witch that had attacked him. “Let the women go.”“Stupi
**Gabe's POV**When Vincent told me that Evelina met Kirsty for brunch, I’d been happy. I thought maybe the two were going to get along. It would have made things a hell of a lot easier for me. But when he informed me that Evelina had been upset after her meeting with Kirsty, I began to wonder if ma
Her eyes blazed like twin suns as her lethal gaze went to rest on the witch who’d attacked me. “Go to hell!” Evelina snarled, her palm shooting out to throw a ball of gathered lightning straight at the witch. Evelina’s target went flying backward with a chorus of screams, more like a pesky fly tha
But I was frozen. Powerless. A novel feeling that sent rage coursing through me. I was never one to wait on the sidelines while others fought. "You don't know what you're messing with," she said, her voice strong despite the situation. The air around her shimmered with electricity. She raised a h
I tried to stand and grunted in pain when more blood gushed out of my open wounds. I fell to the ground, hunched over in pain and unable to heal because of the wolfsbane now in my system. Evelina rushed forward, coming to kneel next to me. I coughed up blood as I tried to move to face her. “You’re
**Gabe's POV**We’re surrounded on all sides!” I let out a deep, guttural grunt as I surveyed my fellow knights. Among them were both men and women, all strong and skilled warriors with determination etched into their faces.“If we fight head on, we die. They have got us outnumbered,” a fellow knigh
Remorse filled me immediately for ever suspecting Remy. But that led me back to the matter at hand. “Evelina,” I said sternly, sitting up in bed and looking at her. I winced. My wounds were still a little sore. But the words of the witches echoed relentlessly in my mind. “How can you possibly be de
“I’m right here!” Dad announced, walking through the double doors on the other side of the dining room. “I was just having a talk with Elena since she’s done in the kitchen. Making sure border security was up to par around here.” Gabe huffed. “My beta and I can maintain security without your help,
He nearly shot the doctor when the doctor tried to explain that taking out the placenta was a normal part of delivery and nothing had gone wrong. He also had not been happy that his beautiful daughter was covered in blood. “She’s got her father’s eyes,” Mama murmured, still staring down at Marcela
EpilogueThree months later… **Evelina’s POV** “She’s beautiful!” breathed Tia Melanie as Mama held Marcela in her arms I smiled, exhausted yet so very happy as we sat in the living room of our little home. Gabe, sitting next to me, pressed a kiss to my forehead. Our daughter, Marcela, had been b
I did the math. She got pregnant while we were in Avalon. “I didn’t have the IUD in, and we were having sex,” Evelian revealed. “I’ve been late but I thought it was because of the birth control shots I had recently started. I didn’t think much of it until I came back from Italy and had a doctor’s a
‘I like ramming into you so hard, you scream my name,’ I retorted through the mindlink. Evelina gave me a saucy smile as she deliberately moved her hips in circular motions. “Let’s see if you can still be quiet,” she whispered teasingly, before kissing me gently on my cheek. And that was the mome
**Gabe's POV**Later that very same day, Evelina settled next to me in bed, snuggling next to me. It had been an eventful day to say the least. Evelina, however, had a smile on her face. Which made me happy. She was my world. I looked over at her, and gently brushed her hair behind her ear. “What
Lorenzo looked quickly at Raina again. “I would never take my child away from his mother. Do you really think so little of me? Or did you just want to stay the mistress of Diablo?” He glowered at Raina. “I was never good enough for you, was I? Which is why you didn’t want to take up the position as
**Gabe’s POV** I would have loved to say we lived happily ever after. Like in the books and fairytales. But unfortunately, real life was not like that. How could we live happily ever after after losing so many people? Vin was gone. Alpha Xavier was too. And so were countless of the best warriors an
Everyone bowed their heads in the clearing of the moon goddesses temple. I wiped the tears from my eyes. We had lost many good people in the war against demons. But Uncle Tony was right, their legacy would live on with us. We would never forget how bravely they fought. Claire, Aunt Alyssa and Uncl
