**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
Dad! He’d made a deal with them to kill Dad! Of course his hate would have outweighed any remaining love he had for me.“A deal is a deal, we will kill your enemy,” Remy snarled out.Joel began to walk towards her.I screamed loudly, head still swimming and a blinding pain flashing across my temple.
“I might have agreed to go with you but I will never help you raise the dark queen!” I lashed out.“This is going to be good,” the warlock muttered. “Hold still, Earth Witch and it just might not hurt.”I blinked in confusion. Were they going to sacrifice me? Was that it?“NOT MY LUNA!” Luca growled
**Gabe’s POV** Stark terror. Fear. Powerless. Miscalculations. All these words and feelings swirled around in my brain as I deftly jumped off my jet before it could even land. Fucking hell. We’d been idiots. I felt the bond break, felt the pain and searing loss. Felt Evelina’s despair as it seared
“WHERE IS SHE!?” I roared, much louder this time and felt my canines extending past my gums. Amaya finally led me into the back room of the infirmary. There on a stretcher lay Remy, her body and face unrecognizable. Her skin had been violently torn away, exposing her raw, bloodied organs that glist
“It’s not Sybl!” Amaya finally spoke up frantically. I could see the relief in her eyes that Evelina had been chipped. Of course we’d put a tracker on her. I’d tagged her, sticking the chip to the side of her bra when I’d fucked her in the kitchen. She’d been too distracted. Sinclair and I had alre
“Sybl, have you completed your part of the bargain?” the voice came from the depths of the fire. “Yes, mistress of evil,” Sybl breathed, moving aside her dark red cloak to reveal a tiny baby bump. “I am nearly three months along. I have done your bidding and impregnated myself with a strong vessel
**Evelina's POV**As I watched Sybl writhe in agony, the room swirled around me, the vision of the past disappearing into a black void before my very eyes.And then another vision materialized. Sybl was older now. She was no longer pregnant and stood before the column of fire with a box in her hand.
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
