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
“Joel is not the same man from when I was a toddler,” I finally spat out, regretting ever believing his lies. “Maybe he never was. Maybe he was just trying to fulfill a role temporarily.” I shook my head. “Regardless, telling me the truth is not the same as talking bad about someone. You should have
“Evie, we’re so happy you’re safe,” Uncle Dylan breathed out. “I have to tell Alyssa. She was so worried.” His eyes got that faraway look in them as he mind-linked his mate.Aunt Alyssa had been pivotal in helping my mama get custody of Mia and I as children.“Your pack huh?” Tia Mel murmured, looki
“She’s right, Kyle,” Mama spoke up. “If this is what she wants…we have to support her.”“He shot Xavier in the leg!” Dad yelled, red in the face.“Seven years ago! He was a different person back then!” I snapped out angrily. I looked at Uncle Xavier apologetically. “Everyone makes mistakes. He was g
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
