So. it snowed. which means I am struggling to keepmy ducks in a row. Remote learning is very hard when a parent hates teaching **tear** . OK. So i hope to churn out one more chapter at some point this weekend. And we have to wait until next week for the story to be finished. I am thinking five more chapters. So any loose ends or burning questions which you think need to be tied up, please pour them into the comments section.
Everyone was in danger. Even the humans at my party were no longer conscious! What the hell was going on? The toast for my quinceañera had just happened and now people were dropping like flies around me. My best friend, Robert, also a human, was in a dead faint on the ground, along with most of the
**7 years later**Gabriel's POVI wiped my bloodied knuckles, my expression stoic as I stared at the man tied up in the chair before me. Nonchalantly, I tossed the once pristine white towel, now spotted with deep crimson stains, to the floor. This was becoming tiresome. If only I could kill him and
Evelina's POV “Hey!” I exclaimed, turning to yell at the man who’d just groped my ass in the subway.Fuc.king New York. You’d think I’d be used to it by now.“You pervert!” I yelled, watching the strange man disappear into the crowd.“Temper Evie,” Robert intoned, grabbing my arm and pulling me alo
**Evelina's POV**“I’ve got the egg—” I stopped short, pausing at the threshold of our tiny apartment as the acrid scent of gunpowder overwhelmed me.I blinked once and then twice….and then a third time as I tried to process the carnage before me. There was …blood. So much blood. Splattered on the w
The moment I removed my bangle, Gabriel’s eyes turned a primal yellow and he lunged at me. Before I could even activate my magic, his body was on mine, pinning me against the wall with inhuman strength. Panic flooded through me as I struggled to break free, but his feral gaze held me in place like a
**Gabe's POV**“Amaya,” I reprimanded sharply.I glared at her from my seat in my private jet. She was sitting across from me, looking through Evelina’s phone. That was an invasion of privacy.“Sorry, Gabe.” She didn’t sound sorry at all. Bitch.“When I asked you to help cover my tracks, it wasn’t s
I did not deny or admit that she was right. In truth, I put the talisman back on Evelina because my own wolf wouldn’t calm down. He wanted me to mate and mark her immediately. Now was not the time. In due course, that was the end goal. The little bangle seemed to block our bond somehow, making it ea
“What do you plan to do about Raina?”I raised an eyebrow. Amaya mentioning my mistress threw me for a loop.“What about her?” I demanded angrily. What the fuck did Raina have to do with any of this?“Well... you can’t keep fucking her when you’ve got this mate bond to contend with,” Amaya spoke slo
Evelina fell to her knees on a strained gasp and I moved deftly in front of her, swiping my sword at a demon that was barrelling straight towards her, a pathetic attempt to get her while she was down. In one clean swipe, I severed his head from his body, watching the horned head roll towards me as t
The demon did not see it coming. His body was immediately engulfed in flames.“Those injured, fall back!” Tony bellowed, directing those who needed medical attention to retreat for first aid.”The nuns are here!” he whooped with enthusiasm which got him some odd looks until the rest began to witness
**Gabriel’s POV **I had expected things to be chaotic at the devil's sinkhole. I had not expected it to be the equivalent of a blood bath. Everywhere I looked, I saw people fighting, people dying, demons being ripped to shreds by wolves, and witches using their powers to fight against beings who ha
“Let them try,” he said in a deathly whisper.With a deafening crash, the stained glass windows shattered as more demons broke through and descended upon the ancient church. My eyes instinctively shot upwards, witnessing the horrifying sight of winged beasts swooping in and nuns frantically dousing
**Evelina's POV** Gabe grabbed me by the waist, pulling me away from the blinding light of the portal.“We have to help her!” I yelled, thrashing against him.I couldn’t leave Syra alone to fight. Something told me she needed our help. She was no longer the young powerful Witch of Avalon. It was al
Great Witch of Avalon…more like pain in my ass. Syra gave an exasperated sigh and I watched in surprise as a sword materialized in her hand. She demonstrated a series of movements with her sword, each one precise and calculated. And then she took aim and her sword found itself embedded within the
Evelina nodded, her eyes reflecting the peacefulness of the moment. “No matter what comes our way, we’ll always find a way back to each other and back to this place. This moment...it’s important. It’s a reminder of what we are fighting for. To have more peaceful moments like this together.” “We fig
**Gabe’s POV** Slowly, I sank into the cool water of the lake, breaking through the sparkling surface that shimmered like diamonds in the sunlight. “I’m so proud of you,” Evelina sighed next to me, as she followed suit and sank into the water. “I knew you could do it.” She shot me a saucy smile. “
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
