Adam PovAfter coming through the portal, I made my body appear as if I were still unconscious. I was brought to a room and laid on a soft bed. I kept my eyes closed, using all my will to remain asleep. A hand brushed against my cheek and I pretended to just be waking up. Thanks to whatever paste Sorena or Ana had put on me, I was healing fine. She must have saved some mud from the river, as that is the only way I would have healed so fast. As I opened my eyes, her face came into view. I wanted to lash out, and rip her head from her shoulders, right then and there, but I kept a blank face. How dare she play me against Atlas the way she has. For years I had been holding all of this anger in against him, only to be a pawn to this deceitful bitch. God only knows what Atlas has had to go through in his time locked away from this realm. Demons. She was not a witch, but a demon. Who killed our own mother just to try to get close to Atlas? She was not even my real mate, which would explain
Pythia Pov " King Daniel, Queen Amara”, I said, bowing before the King and Queen of the Silver Gates. The Silver gates were known to be a powerful realm with a direct line to the master realm of heaven, which is another realm where supernatural souls went to find peace. The same realm my son was soon to know if it was too late to save him. My visions are not always certain and can be widely interpreted. I do know, however, that the goddess Theia, spoke to me through my vision, telling me that events are playing out the way they are meant too. I want to rescue my son. Goddess knows I do, but in doing so, I could alter the course of events I have seen, and there is so much more here at stake, which is why my journey brings me here to the Silver Gates realm with my most trusted follower, Dalian." No need to bow to us Pythia, you know how welcome you are here," Queen Amara said. We walked on the pathway back to their kingdom, with both sides filled with protectors of the kingdom. " I s
Jasmine Pov It felt cold here, considering that hell is known for being hot. Or maybe the temperature is different for every species. This place would suck the happiness out of everyone. Lucky, our portal led us to an area not surrounded by any demons. Who knows what type of creatures were here. The spell was to lead us to the safest path to Adam, Ava, and Harmon. We were near a huge hole that seemed to spread far and wide. I was taken aback by a voice in my head." Jasmine? Is that you mate? " a voice said in my head as we walked around to the other side of the pit. Lunar and I both growled, causing the others to stop and look at me. I looked at the hole. It was pitch black, but I could feel something down there watching me. Something that was trapped. Xavier. " What is it?, mom asked. " Xavier. I can hear his voice in my head. He is down there in that pit", I told them. Samael growled a bit and grabbed my hand , pulling me to walk on the other side of him. " That is the pit of d
Atlas Pov " For centuries I have been stuck in this desolate realm. Forced to deal with the dead souls and demons that wander here. Trapped here by my lessers. I will walk free soon, and when I do, these realms you all over so much will never find peace. Everyone and everything you hold dear will burn. Anyone of you that stand in my way, will also burn" he stated, looking at each of us, as if it was the most normal thing to say ever. " Join me. Join me, and all you hold dear will be left untouched. You will be safe in the new world I intend to create," he said. " I think I speak for all of us when I say, Fuck You!" I said to him. He was talking too much. What was he doing? Stalling? He looked into my eyes, as if reading me. " Atlas Drakos", everyone. The no striped Dragon. U-surped by his own brother. Forced to rule after your mother was taken from you. Tsk tsk tsk. That one has got to hurt. I must commend you, Ana. You really did excellent work with the dragon family," he said. H
Harmon Pov "It hurts.... My heart...It hurts", I panted to Samael. He was holding me close, trying to console me, and I felt like I was breaking down. I was feeling a loss, but it was not Brandon's. Whose death was I feeling? "That man who saved us. He was our second chance mate", my wolf told me. It made sense. Ever since I woke up during everything, my eyes went to Brandon, but I knew it was not Brandon anymore. At the same strange time, I was feeling a connection to the man with the black hair and hazel eyes. It was strange. My bond with Brandon was gone, since he was now dead. The pull was much stronger with the other man. I assume it was because he was alive. Am I not meant to have a mate? This is the second time I have lost a mate, and I never even had the chance to meet him properly. A loud roar could be heard from outside to those even without supernatural hearing. It was followed by a strange silence. The pain was settling down some. I will try to put my pain to the side f
Ava Pov " Holy shit" , I replied. I was feeling a bit dizzy. Something inside of me was feeling hot again. It was the same feeling I got when I was tied up with Ana. Speaking of her............" What happened, where is Ana?", I asked. Everyone suddenly looked uncomfortable. " Can you walk?" I heard Atlas's voice in my head. I looked at him. His clothes were stained with blood and his eyes held so much sadness. I stretched and stood up. " Careful, Careful," dad said, helping me out of bed.The dizziness started to subside after standing. I took a few steps, leaning against dad before trying some of my own. My focus went to my best friend. " Harmon" I said, near tears. Harmon walked up to me and hugged me. Her tearful eyes matched mine. " What are you doing here?" I asked her. " I was kidnapped too. By Brandon, no less. He is gone. I know that for certain. I did find my second chance mate", she said. " What!!!! Where are they?" I asked, looking around the room. She looked as if s
Ava Pov I woke up with a sweat. It was 3am. I had no idea why I was so hot lately. I concluded that it was because of my powers coming in closer. It made me wonder just how much stronger I would be when it happened? This hot though, it was a different type of heat. I could feel it was different. I went to the bathroom to get a cloth and put some cool water on it, so I could cool myself, and when I came back, there was a knock on my door. I sensed him before he even knocked."I want mate" my wolf said to me. I couldn't help but agree. I was feeling hot again, but I think this was for a different reason. This was for something primal. I was dressed in a lacy white nightgown and I'm sure my hair was all over the place. "Come in" I said. The door opened and there he stood. Atlas. My mate, looking like he was sent and crafted from the God's. His shirt was off and he was in sweatpants. My eyes followed his chest down to the v of his lower abs, and I couldn't help but lick my lips. What
I met Sarah by the lake as requested. It was kinda strange. I had never thought I would be training with my ancestor. Let alone one that was dead. Not to mention my mind was still a little clouded by my dream walk with Atlas. " So how will this start?" I asked her. " We're not training here", she said. "Then where are we going?" I asked. She started walking and motioned me to follow her. We walked right along the border into the witch realm. "Are you sure you want to train here?" I asked her. " This realm is for the dark witches". "These witches were never dark. They were corrupted by your sister through their minds, and they still are. Your first lesson is to break their corruption. Put them back to normal. " She said. At once , the women started coming out of the kingdom doors one by one until we were surrounded. "How dare you come here, filthy hafling" one of the women said. I looked at Sarah. It seemed as if none of them could see her. "You must break the connection your s
