I will do my best to update wednesday but no promises. Please pray all the chaotic stuff going on in my life eases up somewhat.
**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
**Gabe’s POV** I was ready to start ripping trees from their roots until I found my woman. She was mi vida and this forest had seemingly swallowed her whole. Only the goddess knew where she’d been transported to and if she was safe. She didn’t even have her magic to protect her!I extended my claws
You’re weak. You’re worthless. You have to be strong. You have to make up for your stupid father's mistakes. Do not end up like him. It is your responsibility to insure that our family name will be returned to glory. No son of mine will be a pathetic overly sensitive fool. You will be the strong man
And in that moment, a sense of peace washes over me. The weight of years of self-imposed expectations and doubts began to lift, like a heavy fog dissipating under the sun’s warm rays.“You don’t have to be strong all the time,” I repeated, this time with more conviction. “It’s okay to ask for help.
**Gabe's POV** Rage and terror warred within me. My mother's presence loomed like a dark cloud over the glade, suffocating any hope that had blossomed in my heart. But as I looked into Evelina's eyes, wide with fear but unwavering in their trust in me, a fire ignited within my soul. I stepped for
Evelina, her eyes locking onto mine, mirrored the same unwavering conviction I felt. She knew the danger she was in, but she trusted me to keep her safe. It was a testament to the power and strength of our love--stronger than any outside force that threatened to tear us apart. "You are a fool, Gabr
**Gabe's POV** As the white light continued to envelop me, I clenched my fists and closed my eyes, determined to make a stand. To choose Evelina, to save her.The white light began to diminish, leaving me surrounded by the shadows of the dark forest. I was fully clothed again, the small injuries on
“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
