“Look at him! Discussing killing people like he’s discussing the weather! I’m telling you, Kyle, he did something to my Mel!” “He didn’t do anything! He was with our brothers and Chris in his study!” Aunt Janet finally intervened, stalking towards her brother as well. Amaya and Aunt Janet had been
“Oh my goddess,” Mama choked out and wiped the tears away while Dad looked at her blankly and then at Gabe. “What did you say to make her cry?” “It was b-beautiful!” Mama sobbed, dabbing her eyes with tissue. “Oh Evelina, he’s perfect!” “If it’s beautiful then why are you crying?” Dad asked blank
**Gabe’s POV**I stood with Amaya and my mate’s parents, on the outskirts of my pack where the landing pad for my jet was located. I’d arranged for my jet to transport Coven Head Melanie to her coven headquarters. Portalling created rifts through time and space. And due to the delicate nature of her
“Wanna go grab a drink?” I supplied. “My men can escort my mate’s parents back to my house.”Amaya nodded jerkily, her face still stricken as if she’d been struck by lightning with the revelation that she had a werewolf mate.“Evelina’s waiting for you back at the house, Mrs. Sinclair,” I said polit
Elena stood up hesitantly, asking Amaya to follow her out back. I watched both women leave and then it was just my parents with Gabe and I. “Would you like to stay for dinner?” I finally asked with a smile.“Depends on if there’s poison in the food or not,” Dad responded crossly, scowling at Gabe.
However, if I were being honest right now, I could see why Vin probably did it. Because even if Senior Rossi was a bad person, he truly cared for Gabe. Not the way a normal parent should. The man was twisted. But he had Gabe's best interests at heart. Of that I was certain. Vincent had shared with m
I took in the way Gabe and Dad looked at each other grimly. Finally, Gabe extended a hand. A peace offering.It took a few beats for Dad to finally shake it. Mama and I both let out sighs of relief. This was progress.And then my parents were making their way into their jet, walking up the steps. Bu
**Evelina's POV** The grass under my bare body wasn’t itchy like I’d expected. It was cool, soft, inviting. “Are you sure you want to do this?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper as I watched him undo the buttons on his shirt.“It will strengthen our bond and you,” Gabe answered, sinking dow
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
