Amaya gave another shrug.“We’re getting to know each other. We’ve exchanged cell phone numbers. You know how I feel about wolves and how possessive they can be. I…I don’t really see myself with one person.” She shrugged. “I like multiple partners,” she said bluntly.Gabe shook his head. He shot me
“Everything will be fine,” I assured him.Lorenzo wouldn’t dare harm me when his sister was in my care. It’s why I’d felt comfortable leaving most of my men back to guard the pack.Lorenzo might be a dick, but even he cared about family. I knew what this was about. His ego still wasn’t assuaged beca
**Evelina’s POV** Vincent, Amaya, and I were holed up in Gabe’s study. After he’d left, I’d briefly talked with Amaya about what she planned to do with Elena. Elena was currently given a room in the pack house, where she’d stay for a few days before leaving to go back home. From there, they’d conti
“Luna, I have to get you out of here. They’ve poisoned us somehow and are about to attack—” Luca was cut off as he fell to the floor, vomiting the contents of his stomach. I moved back. I hadn’t had any of the food prepared for everyone else last night because I’d asked the omegas to make somethin
“How can you be so sure I won’t?” Remy shot back. “You have no choice. And just to show you I’m not playing any games—” She broke off abruptly and another violent whooshing sound of dark energy was heard over the phone followed by the sound of Vincent gasping in pain and then a dull thud. Amaya sc
I didn’t miss the way Amaya’s face was beaded with sweat. Vomit clung to the sides of her mouth. Amaya had been poisoned too. “I got bored waiting for you,” Remy explained, digging the blade deeper into the side of Amaya’s neck. “Let her go. I’m here,” I said calmly, taking a step forward. I c
I watched Amaya bite down on her bottom lip, shaking her head to keep from crying out in pain. The grey pallor on her face became more pronounced. No one knew the plan Gabe and I had made with my family. We’d thought it best to keep it a secret from his pack considering we had no idea who the mole w
**Evelina's POV ** “Amaya!” I screamed running to her as she bled out on the floor.The dark smoke that had been holding her captive, snaked out to me, clamping around my body and holding me still. But I was ready. I let my power surge forth, crackling dangerously so that the smoke around me recoil
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
