“Evelina,” I began comfortingly, my hands running up and down her arms. “I will never force you to do something you truly don’t want. But how long are you going to run from what you truly are? I’m here with you, and we’re going to face any problems you encounter together. You won’t be in it alone.”
However, with Evelina, it was completely different. With her, it felt natural to share my worries. “We can take my car,” I grunted, grabbing my keys and motioning for her to step outside. Evelina smiled. “If I didn’t have wards preventing portals inside pack lands, I could have portalled us,” she
**Gabe’s POV** Evelina paced the length of my study as I stood regarding her. I could feel how wound up she was through the mate bond. “Calm down, Evelina,” I finally said in an exasperated sigh, crossing my arms. “Calm down? They’ve got your entire pack surrounded and my dad is ready to fight to
Sinclair’s eyes flashed yellow. “I’m going to rip your head off,” he growled, canines elongated and he prepared to shift. “You think you can fucking kidnap my daughter and get away with it?” “Dad stop!” Evelina yelled, suddenly moving towards us. “Evelina stay back!” I said sharply, reprimanding
My eyes widened in understanding. Evelina turned to look at her aunt sheepishly. “Tia Mel, I kind of broke it.” Coven Head Melanie looked at Evelina appraisingly before looking at Sinclair who was opening and closing his mouth in disbelief. Coven Head Melanie’s gaze finally swung to me. “Te corto
“I…I’m OK, Mama,” Evelina finally said, hugging her mother. “Niki, we’re taking her home,” Sinclair declared. He looked at me sternly. “I don’t know what kind of sick-minded games you’re playing Rossi, but leave Evelina out of them!” I let out a snarl, my arms going around Evelina's shoulders from
**Gabe's POV**There was pin drop silence in the room as Sinclair turned varying shades of purple before my eyes. If I hadn't known he was furious, I would have thought he was suffocating. "Interesting," Coven Head Melanie hummed, exchanging a look with Evelina's mama."That's all you have to say?!
“Not if I get to him first,” Dad grunted out, his body trembling from rage. He looked even more livid than before now. "We trusted him with our daughter. Bastard's going to pay." “He’s at the bottom of the Harlem river. I killed him,” Gabe supplied, his dark eyes flaring with pain. Pain that I was
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
