“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
**Evelina's POV** “This is the box?” Tia Mel asked.I nodded. Once we’d told everything, Tia Mel had demanded to see the box. The packs and Tia Mel’s coven had retreated. It was more than evident now that there were far greater threats than Gabriel Rossi. The witches were trying to raise Asmodeus.
The three women exchanged smiles before looking at me and agreeing to stop.“We’re just trying to figure out how crazy your man is,” Tia Mel finally stated, her fingers going over the earth witch logo on the box. “And if ,whatever kinky shit you’re getting into, he’s making sure you’re safe.”“Even
“Oh Aria is probably worried about me being here alone,” Tia Mel said with a wave of her hand. “She really should have gone home. I thought once she passed fifty, she’d learn to take it easy. But noooo. Aria’s always worried about me.” Tia Mel sighed. “I supposed you can let her in. We can portal ho
“Why would she do that to her own baby?” Mama asked, a hand over her mouth."His mother was a power-hungry unstable bitch who thought Gabe would be weak because his father was a beta.” My voice cracked at the end of the sentence."Oh honey, that's just cruel," she whispered, her own voice breaking.
**Evelina’s POV**We stood in the infirmary; everyone worried sick because Tia Mel seemed to have been knocked out cold after my question about the box. At first, she had barely been breathing, but Gabe had called in all his medical staff to help stabilize Tia Mel. I’d also used my magic and Amaya h
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
