These trials are no joke. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
**Gabe’s POV**I gazed at the pillars, feeling a sense of reverence wash over me. They stood tall and imposing, made of dark gray stone and covered in intricate carvings that seemed to tell a story of their own. I felt a strange pull towards them, as if they held some kind of ancient power. At the
And then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the rumbling sound faded and the earth beneath our feet ceased to shake. We sat on the ground in stunned silence and I blinked rapidly, realizing that the dials had been reset and we would have to start from the beginning. I looked over at Evelina, her ex
“Alright,” I said, my voice steadying as I forced myself to focus. “It’s made of shadows, right? Maybe light can weaken it.” “Fire!” Evelina exclaimed, her palms lighting up as she spoke. I nodded, a plan forming in my mind. "I'll distract it while you blast it with fire. Let's do this." With a n
“Perhaps you’re right,” I murmured, turning to look at the glowing pillars. “It looks like the inscription of the riddle is changing again,” I muttered, squinting to look up at it. "Fire and water, two halves of a whole," Evelina read aloud, her voice tinged with awe. "In balance they stand, united
**Gabe's POV**The forest seemed alive, its towering trees arching overhead like a natural cathedral. Their leaves were a rich, dark green, rustling softly in the cool night breeze. Evelina and I had been walking for a considerable amount of time, the moonlight barely filtering through the dense can
I gave her one final hug before moving to start the fire. I felt her eyes on me as the crackle of the fire came to life, warmth spread quickly, casting flickering shadows on the surrounding trees. We worked together, gathering water from a nearby stream and finding edible berries that could serve a
**Evelina’s POV**I awoke cold and alone. Gabe was no longer by my side. In fact, I was no longer in the clearing I had been in before. Instead, I was somewhere deep in the heart of the dense forest. I shivered, hugging myself to keep warm. “Gabe,” I called out, looking around as if expecting him t
I reached out a hand tentatively, unsure whether I could touch her. But as my fingers made contact with her form, a jolt of recognition passed between us. I felt the echo of her sorrow reverberate within me, a shared burden carried across time and space. Tears streamed down my face as I enveloped t
“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
