Jasmine Pov I can tell I'm dreaming. When I dream, I feel as light as air. I'm not sure where I am right now. It's dark. I heard crying around me, and I sniffed the air. Smells like blood and piss. The usual smells of a cellar. Suddenly, the lights come on and I see a bunch of people huddled together. This cell looks familiar. Where have I seen this cell before? "Do you know where we are"? A girl who oddly resembled me asked another girl. She shakes her head. I look at the boy who does the same thing. As he does, the door opens, and a man with black hair and blue eyes comes in and I growl instantly."OLIVER"! I know they can't hear or see me. "You, human, what's your name" he demands, looking at the girl. They are human? " My name is Ava sir," she tells him. I can tell she was afraid, yet something about her was screaming power. Also, something else. Some sort of........ connection. " Come here", he commands, and she stands up. There was a woman with red hair and purple eyes, a
Jasmine PovAs I lay in bed, I couldn't help but think about my dreams/ visions. Those innocent people. Who was that Aya girl? I could even see how much she looked like me. Why did I feel drawn to her? So many unanswered questions. We will get to know the answers soon. Trust in the moon goddess. Lunar says and I sigh. I ended up falling back to sleep. I ended up waking up to warm water being squirted on my face. I fell out of bed and laughter was being heard from the other side of the room. I knew that laugh from anywhere. "Fucking Harmon", I seethed out loud and it was followed by more laughs. Harmon Fletch was one of the female amazon warriors who was sent here on orders of Xavier, to protect the kingdom but, more importantly, me. Xavier didn't want me to train, but I have been secretly training with Harmon over the last two months. My skills as a warrior have been amplified 10 times over than before, though I will always be grateful for the many lessons from Sabrina, Lori, and A
Jasmine Pov After Xavier and Zoey explained their situation, I understood. I wasn't expecting Xavier to be a virgin after all. I knew he had a past before me. Lunar and I were still angry, but given the circumstances, I decided to forgive them. After all, if he cheated on me, I feel it through the bond. All I could feel was his love and I was happy. I wasn't thrilled about Zoey, but if she didn't mess with my mate again, I would tolerate her. " How do you feel?" Xavier asked me as I was still nestled against him. My face went red as I knew what he was talking about. "I'm okay," I told him. The hot bath relaxed my body a lot and took away most of the soreness. "Good. I'm going to start on today's work. You go to the kitchen to get breakfast. I'll meet up with you soon", he tells me, and kisses me on the lips. His lips are warm and soft as always. I headed to the kitchen and heard the cooks in there whispering. "Did you hear Zoey is back?"" She will cause problems for the queen"
Zoey Pov I had awoken early to start my morning training. After I got dressed, I went to the training grounds. The training was always a great distraction for me. Training and sex, and since I couldn't get one, then the other would just have to settle. Speaking of sex, my mind drifted to Xavier. We used to get up around each morning and train every day around this time, then fall asleep next to my favorite tree. He has been my best friend ever since we were kids. As we grew up, I had started to develop feelings for him and him for me, but we decided whatever was between us would stop once we found our mates. I was always disappointed that he was not my mate, but I was going to honor our deal. Years passed and he became king. With my fighting experience, I became his top warrior for the palace. Time would go by and still, he hadn't found his mate. I knew his wolf was already warmed to the idea of taking me as his queen if he didn't find his, since he knew and trusted me so easily, b
Xavier Pov I knew that Jasmine was upset at Zoey's nickname, but her face gave nothing away. I felt her fury and then I felt a strange calm come over her and it confused me. I tried reading her face for emotions, but she kept it blank. Then Harmon came out of nowhere with her comment about Zoey touching me too much, but I knew it was harmless. I could see Jasmine smile a little and my heart sank, knowing she must be feeling the same way. After I corrected Harmon, Jasmine stood up, and let me feel her angry emotions. Why was she so angry? Was it because of Zoey? She then cut her emotions off and just left, signaling Harmon to follow her. Ah, fuck, she is mad. That's not what I want at all. We just marked and mated each other and yet I can feel her wolf has not fully accepted me yet. We were supposed to be lovey-dovey right now. I get ready to stand up but Zoey talks about some rouges she spotted the other day and tells me to give Jasmine time to cool down. Based on what I saw Jasmine
Jasmine PovThe whole plane ride was silent. I decided to ignore Xavier and Zoey. I have bigger things to worry about right now, and I can't be sidetracked. Xavier tried to talk to me a few times but each time I ignored him. Zoey took the opportunity of my rejection to make him feel better. Harmon and Samael were both disgusted with his behavior, but I signaled them to drop it. Our focus is on saving the new werewolves and bringing them to the palace.I only just now put it together that my brother may be involved too. Am I willing to kill him when the time comes? "What's running through your mind," Harmon asks, sitting beside me. She was sitting a few rows behind me next to Samael. "Darnell," I told her. She had already been brought up to speed on my complicated relationship with him." You think he is involved?" She asked and I nodded. " He is Oliver's lap dog. I'd be surprised if he wasn't. I know it will mean he will have to die. I just don't know if I can do it. I tell her and
Jasmine PovI woke up with Xavier shaking me lightly and looking at the time. It was 11.30. Everyone else was already up. Samael was speaking with Harmon and Zoey was packing some stuff in her bag. I looked at Xavier, who was doing the same, but I could tell his eyes were on me when he thought I wasn't looking. I stood up fully and walked to him, putting my arms around him and kissed him. He wasted no time returning the kiss and pulling me to him. I wondered if he even remembered me. It's something I would ask him about later. Also, the fact he too has powers. When I pulled back, I was breathing heavily. I felt eyes on us, and I turned around and saw everyone looking at us. Zoey with annoyance, Harmon with confusion, and Samael with.... actually, I can't tell what emotion it is he is looking at us with. It's difficult to read. I turned back to Xavier and smiled. I love him. I love him so much. He pulled me into a hug and buried his head in my neck. " What was that for my queen?" He
Nyx Pov I was fighting some of the pack members and got stabbed when I felt a strong presence. It felt like a connection my first mate, but I knew she was dead. I turned until I saw her. My firstborn. My Jasmine. She looked as beautiful as the first time I laid eyes on her. Her hair is a beautiful brown but a slightly different shade than her mother's. It matches mine. Her eyes glowed purple once I was stabbed, indicating she knew who I was, but how? Her purple eyes confirmed who she was, since purple eyes are a rare thing for anyone other than a white wolf. I snapped the wolf's neck who stabbed me, already feeling my wound close. Silver does not affect me anyway. My eyes trailed back to her. "Why is she here?" I linked Samael. "There is a lot to discuss, but this pack made her life hell. She deserved some peace", he linked back to me while taking care of the last of the pack of wolves. "Does she know?" I linked back as she came closer, with wide eyes, but he didn't answer. I kno
Ava Pov (Three years Later)I was dead, and then I wasn't. I have walked the veil between life and death and came out of it, stronger and wiser. Three years ago, my life changed for what I thought was the worse, but ended up being for the better. I looked out of my bedroom window as the memories came back to me in flashes. (Three years ago)I was walking the veil between realms, waiting for my soul to be claimed until I felt a pence behind me. I turned around, and there stood my mother in her spirit form. Without waiting, I rushed to her and hugged her. Tears rolled down our faces as we finally united, and then I realized she was really here. I pulled back. "How are you here? I save you. Your spirit should be back with your body," I told her. She smiled. " My dear Ava, I died many years ago. I had been trapped by Lucifer in the devious of the plans. My time on earth is over, but you are still young, dear one. You will carry the promise of a better future for us. You are my light in
Atlas Pov A blast of energy rocked through all of us as Ava dropped to the ground in her sister's arms. Jasmine had killed Ava with my broken blade. Lucifer screamed and the entire realm rocked as his body exploded. The realm stopped shaking and the demons disintegrated, leaving no trace of them being here at all. "Is everyone okay", I heard someone say as I dropped to the ground, shifting back to full human form in my clothes."Where is Ava?" I heard Rynxyon yell. He would have felt her connection to him die. "Where is my daughter?" he yelled and entered the circle that was around her and Jasmine. "AVA", he growled in pain. He dropped to his knees, taking Ava away from Jasmine. "Wake up hunny. It's okay. It's over now. Wake up. Wake up princess, please. " he pleaded. He suddenly saw the blade in her chest and yanked it out of her. Blood poured out of her wound and gushed on him and he covered it with his hand. "It's a light wound. Come on." He said through tears. He started pumpi
Atlas PovI felt a snap in the mate bond as we prepared formation. Samael linked me they were coming. Apparently, they had been trapped by Lucifer, used as bait to lure Ava to him. It was like a dagger to my heart and ripped through me like a knife. She was no longer mine, and with that, the need to save her went away as well. It was replaced by a fire. The burning need to end her once and for all, and for the first time in a while, Kai and I felt like one. "Ava", Kai and I growled. We were merging together. "I will fucking kill you today", I told her, and I meant every word of it. I could finally see the threat that everyone kept trying to warn me about, yet I wouldn't listen to them. She looked at me, with her black demon eyes that seemed to see right through me and tilted her head slightly. "Good luck", she said to me before rising into the air. She raised her hands and a blast of purple energy shot from her hands, englufling me and my entire side before fading away. Nothing happ
Ava Pov I portaled myself down to hell. I was not sure how I instantly came here without making a portal. As the minutes went down to my birthday, I could sense a change in me. I ended up in the middle of the hell realm near the pit of tortured souls. Their cries to free them were endless, but their pain meant nothing to me right now. My own pain was loud and screaming in my own ears. Atlas. After all we had been through. He did not want me anymore. I dropped to my knees. "Why", I cried out into the darkness, but received nothing but the response of screams from the dead. Atlas. My light. I started hyperventilating. He....he didn't want me. My family hated me. As they should. It was my fault. Everything was all my fault. My mother died because of a prophecy about me, and was forced to sell her soul to Lucifer. My father lost his second mate because of me. Ana lost her life because of me. Brandon became a slave to Ana because of me. Atlas lost his mother to my sister because of my ma
Samael Pov (Two days ago when Ava was captured)"Ava will never forgive us for that" Rynyxon had said as we prepared to enter the realm of hell. As before, we shared blood with everyone who was to enter the realm with us, since it was known that those without demon blood could not enter the realm. "We are protecting her. The prophecy for her fate will happen in two days, and our only option is killing Lucifer. End him. We will save Ava." I told him. " She is halfway under his control. Killing Lucifer will free her", Jasmine said to her father, fixing the demon killing blade in my belt. "I am aware of what we need to do, but to trust a demon. My own apparent evil fucking daughter. " Rynxyon sighed. Jasmine hugged him to comfort him. "She is not your daughter anymore. She is a demon, dad. After all she took from us, regardless of any pack we made with her, she will not live to see the end of this war.", Jasmine said to him, looking him in the eye. He nodded. " It's time", Jessica l
Atlas Pov My mate was caged like an animal while I was forced to finish plans for the coming war. Uncle Ellis and I went over battle formations while father spent his time with mom, who, as the hours went by, was making a swift recovery. My heart ached for my mate, and the beast inside me craved her blood and mateship. I hated the fact that he was under the command of Typhon, who wanted nothing more but the death of our mate. " I am sorry, Atlas", Kai spoke to me. "Yea", I told him, before closing the link. It was the first time ever that we had ever been at odds with each other, and it felt as if my animal self had betrayed me. It was not his fault, but it still hurt. I could not bear to even speak with him. I wanted to go see Ava as well, but knowing Kai would lash out the moment I did, made me refrain from it. I felt as even if I dream walked, I would put her in danger. She must hate me right now. I tried channeling her through our mate link, but I felt nothing. It was like she
Ava Pov "Let me go", I told Lucifer, who still had his arm wrapped around me as we landed back in his throne room. I both hated and loved his arm around me. Well, the darkness loved it, and since I felt consumed by much of it,a big part of me liked it. "As you wish, mate", he said in his usual calm voice. For some reason, it didn't creep me out like usual. "How did you get to earth?" I demanded to know. "You called for me" he simply said, sitting down on his throne. "I didn't call you. I had it." I told him. He laughed. "If that was the case angel witch, I would have been able to even cross onto the earth. A part of you felt fear when they were about to attack you. You broke the block that allowed me to siphon off your power and called for me, " he said to me. I shook my head. I couldn't remember, until I did. I closed my eyes and took myself back to when it happened. I had a paranoid fear that I was going to die when Micheal set his angels on me. I closed my eyes and asked for
Jasmine Pov "What the fuck?" I said aloud. Micheal had released us from his power and anger was my first reaction. "We came to try to talk some sense into Ava, and not only is her own fucking mate trying to kill her, angels are too. Are you out of your fucking mind", I growled to Micheal and Atlas. I knew it was disrespectful, but the thought of them taking Ava's life sickened me. "Watch who your speaking to, halfling." Micheal warned me, but I did not care. I was furious. "No, you fucking watch it. That is my sister. She is not in the right state of mind right now, and needs her family to help her. You come in swinging trying to kill her? What the fuck is wrong with you?", I demanded to know. Lunar was merging with me and the demon part of us wanted them to suffer, but I kept that part at bay. "That thing is no longer your sister." he sneered to me. "Neither your mate", he said to Atlas, who was now back in human form and was furious. "Neither your daughter", he said to dad. "She
Rynyxon PovMy Princess was hurt. I can't deny that it is possible she could have helped her mother, but Lucifer took control of my mate and tried to use her to get to Ava. Keeping the truth from her was my way of protecting her. Keeping her safe, for as long as I could. That was the job of a father. To protect his family, at all cost. "Why did you tell her?" Samael asked, after I explained everything to everyone who didn't know. "She said she dreamwalked into Lucifer's realm. He put the thought in her mind not to trust me. She knew I was not being honest when she asked me, so she took over my mind and searched my memories. I could not stop her. "Fuck"!, Samael growled out. "So what now? Where is she?", Jasmine asked. "My guess is Draconis. All her life, she has longed for her mother, only to realize the lie we have kept from her. That, plus the darkness we have seen latched inside of her, is driving her mad." I explained. "Lucifer must have done something to her when we were ca
