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
**Evelina’s POV**I looked at the recording, feeling as if I was in a trance. Unease prickling through me as I took in the time stamp glaring at me from the corner of the video.No. NO.It couldn’t be.“Wait until you see this,” Robert chuckled with a wink at the camera.Dread detonated in my gut, s
“Let it out, mi vida,” he whispered into my ear, his own breath ragged and mournful. “Just let it out, it’s okay…I’m not going to let you go.”His voice was filled with anguish, and I felt it through our bond as well . He was in pain too, because I was hurting. Our pain was one now.It struck me the
Anything except for her finding out through the damn recording itself! Fuck, I hated my past delusional self. The one that thought I could take charge and handle everything so Evelina could stay cocooned in a safety net of luxury and shopping. That wasn’t her. That wasn’t us. Our relationship dynami
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
Still, I reached out a hand, hoping to do something. But when I tried to heal him, even I could tell it was useless. There was nothing left to heal. He was gone. Cellular regeneration could only happen if the body was still alive. “No,” Uncle Dylan rasped, reaching us in the hospital room. “No. Not
**Evelina’s POV** Uncle Xavier had always been the leader. The one everyone looked to for guidance. He had stepped up for his younger siblings when his father passed away. He was only eighteen then. By extension, he had stepped up for the children of his siblings as well. Tia Melanie told me that
Asmodeus bowed his head.“I have commanded them to fall back and have begun to seal the portal. They will be sucked back into the portal at the devil’s sinkhole.”And that was when I saw him clinging to a lone tree left standing in the wake of the chaos that this mountain had endured. His arms were
With a surge of power, I launched myself at the fallen demon, my hands glowing with a brilliant golden light I was airborne, my ring of fire remaining around me, eager to attack at my command. As my fist struck him, the power of my assault sent Asmodeus flying backward.But my victory was short-live
Despite the fear that seethed within me, I stood tall and threw back my head, letting out a war cry that echoed throughout the night. "I don't care who you are or what you think you are," I retorted, my voice trembling with determination. "All I know is that you've hurt the people I love, and I will
“NOOOOOOO!!!!” I screamed out, the bright yellow light rippling all around me as I screamed my heartbreak. My father was gone! Hot tears rolled down my cheeks as I clung to him, crying out in anguish.I would give anything for his warm embrace one last time! Anything. In his shadow, I had always fel
