I followed the trail of thoughts leading all the way back to her panic when Vin called her and told her Gabe was leaving her. I started a bit at the knowledge that Amaya even offered Raina her companionship and protection. But Raina refused. Instead, she marched over to Gabe’s home hoping to figure
**Gabe's POV** There was a ringing in my ears as Evelina’s words resounded in my head.Pregnant? That was impossible!“Amaya knows,” Evelina mumbled, jerking her face away from my hands and moving to untie Raina. “Amaya knows because Raina was too afraid to tell anyone else. And she needed help. So
"Raina wanted to stay under your protection," Evelina went on to explain, a displeased look on her face. "She knows you are an honorable man. You always take care of what’s yours.”"I do," I replied, inclining my head towards my mate. "But Raina is not mine. Only one woman holds that title now mi vi
Ah. So he was a ranked wolf. A beta or alpha most likely. How the fuck did Raina even meet him? There were no other packs for miles and miles.I looked at Evelina.“Are you sure she’s not working with our enemies?” I queried, trying to figure out where to go from here.I did not owe Raina anything.
“I don’t think Amaya would betray us,” Evelina responded in a measured tone.Evelina's words rang in my ears, but doubt had already taken root. I had always trusted Amaya with my life, but recent events had shattered that trust. She'd been helping Raina keep her pregnancy a secret from me. It made s
**Evelina's POV **I knew Gabe was ruthless. Capable of far worse than I’d ever seen in my short life. But I still couldn’t help but shudder. The witch’s screams bounced off the damp stone walls of the torture chamber, as I watched him deftly stick his knife right into the middle of her pupil. He’d
“We’ve got regenerating potions on hand. Give me some credit, mi vida.” He spoke nonchalantly, as if he was telling me about the weather or something trivial like his favorite team losing a soccer match. “I’ve done this before. She’s still got some time before becoming critical. Enough time to fucki
“If you don’t tell me what I want to know, I’m going to carve out your tongue, witch. Then I’m going to split open your stomach and let our intestines hang out as a meal for the vermin that inhabit these cellars. They’re purposefully left hungry…until I offer up a victim. The rodents will come and e
“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
