THank you for bearing with me and my late updates. Things are a little hectic right now. I might not be doing wednesday updates this month. I will try though.
**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
Her words stung, but I refused to waver in my decision. In another time and place, those words might have affected me. But not anymore. I saw her now for what she really was. A woman so consumed by hate and greed that it had ripped away at her sanity.As I stood there, facing the woman who had raise
I shifted and pounced on her, derailing her trajectory towards the crying teenager. No way was I going to let her get her hands on Evelina.I felt a sharp pain in my side as her claws raked across my body, but I pressed on, determined to protect Evelina at all costs. Our struggle echoed through the
My wolf crouched before her submissively, trying to make her understand how sorry I was.Tears streamed down Evelina's face as she looked at the lifeless body of my mother's wolf and then back at me. The fear in her eyes was palpable. I could see the confusion and pain etched on her face.Evelina's
**Evelina’s POV** As the dark energy hurtled straight to me, I dodged the dark queen’s attack just in time, realizing that I still did not have my magic. My power had been stripped away like a stolen breath, leaving me hollow—vulnerable. The dark queen knew it. She could sense the weakness in me,
The steps leading up to the main entrance were cracked, some half-sunken into the earth as though the weight of the past had crushed them underfoot. The grand entrance—a massive doorway framed by two imposing, weather-worn statues—was now little more than a gaping void. The figures, once majestic a
The witch was coming toward me now, her movements becoming more erratic, more desperate. She was losing her patience. The black orbs she hurled were growing larger, their power more volatile. But she wasn’t thinking clearly. That was her mistake. I darted behind another wall, keeping my breathing s
"No," I whispered, pulling away the shard of stone before releasing her wrists. "I won't become like you. We are one,” I whispered, moving back. “Yield and we become one.” The dark queen stared up at me, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief. She had expected death, she had expected revenge, but s
“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
And in the next moment, something hit me from behind, rendering me immobile. I fell unconscious and when I awoke some time later, I heard shouts and screams from far off. And sinister laughter. Familiar laughter.It was then that I realized it was Sarah’s laughter.My heart pounded in my chest as I
**Evelina’s POV**I was leaning against a tree, lost in thought. My dark hair flowed down my back, all the way to my knees. I sighed, turning to look at Ramiras. He was the leader of the Order of the Flame. A chivalrous knight. A wonderful person. Pity he loved that bitch Sarah.“Ysabel,” Ramiras sa
Without a word, they raised a hand and summoned forth tendrils of shadow that twisted and writhed in the air, reaching out towards me with malicious intent. With a swift motion, I swung my sword. It glowed with a brilliant white light as it clashed against the tendrils of darkness, creating a blind
