The air was suffocating, thick with an oppressive stench of decaying earth and putrid, stagnant water as I approached the mouth of the cave, its jagged entrance looming before me like the gaping maw of a beast. Without pausing for even a moment, I strode confidently through the opening, my determin
**Gabe's POV** Warm blood fell over my hands and from her mouth as she let out a surprised cry of pain. And then I twisted them viciously. She let out another cry of pain.Then I pulled my claws from her stomach to shred them into her chest.Blood sprayed from the gash, painting the walls of the ca
Her form trembled, and for a moment, I saw a hint of the real Evelina shining through the veil of malevolence. The candles on the wooden dais flickered wildly as if responding to the internal battle raging within her. I almost had her. Just a little more push. I reached for her but a guttural growl
Gabriel’s POVI was dreaming. Evelina knelt before me, her eyes dark as sin as her hands worked on the zipper of my jeans. “Your mate is here,” she whispered in that dark sinister voice of hers as she gripped me in her palms and tried to work me. “Don’t you want your mate?” I tried to speak, to te
When her eyes flashed back to their usual black, I saw fear and desperation in her gaze. She tightened her grip on my dick, trying to force an erection out of me, but all she felt was another failure. “You can’t resist it any longer,” she stated, her voice shaking with frustration. “Your body wants
She was too surprised to react when I lunged at her, tackling her to the ground beneath me. “Evelina,” I whispered, my voice trembling with emotion as I loomed over her. “I don’t need power or dominion over any creature. I just need you.” Her lips parted, and her eyes flickered to brown. Swiftly,
“Do not harm him. For he will be the father of the vessel we prepare for Lilith!” her voice boomed out clear and strong for all the witches and Axton to hear. “Mark my words wolf,” she spat, eyes narrowed on me. “Sooner or later, you will give in.” I opened my mouth to argue and found myself immobi
Gabe’s POV I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. The weight of her words pressed down on me like a boulder, threatening to crush me with the unbearable truth. A surge of anger and fear coursed through me as I processed her words. How could she even consider sacrificing herself in such a way?
“I’m right here!” Dad announced, walking through the double doors on the other side of the dining room. “I was just having a talk with Elena since she’s done in the kitchen. Making sure border security was up to par around here.” Gabe huffed. “My beta and I can maintain security without your help,
He nearly shot the doctor when the doctor tried to explain that taking out the placenta was a normal part of delivery and nothing had gone wrong. He also had not been happy that his beautiful daughter was covered in blood. “She’s got her father’s eyes,” Mama murmured, still staring down at Marcela
EpilogueThree months later… **Evelina’s POV** “She’s beautiful!” breathed Tia Melanie as Mama held Marcela in her arms I smiled, exhausted yet so very happy as we sat in the living room of our little home. Gabe, sitting next to me, pressed a kiss to my forehead. Our daughter, Marcela, had been b
I put my head in my hands, my own face flushed with embarrassment. Is this what normal in-laws were like? My grandfather was always obsessed with teaching my mother and father how to defeat their enemies. Not make pups. Maybe that’s why I had been an only child. “Evie! I just thought you would appr
She leaned in closer, her entrance teasing my cock as her eyes burned into mine as her shadows swirled around us. The tendrils slid against my skin, building a crescendo of need. They played with my dick, while her wetness swirled around the tip. I stayed perfectly still, sweat beading my forehead.
**Gabe's POV**Later that very same day, Evelina settled next to me in bed, snuggling next to me. It had been an eventful day to say the least. Evelina, however, had a smile on her face. Which made me happy. She was my world. I looked over at her, and gently brushed her hair behind her ear. “What
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
