Ava Pov My sister. I was at a loss for words as the tears started to fall from the impact of the punch to my eye. " She took my life and for what? So, you won't get sick! Witch cancer, father said she called it. Witch cancer doesn’t fucking exist." She spat out. " You're a liar" I said to her. " My father" ...." Your father lied to you. I bet he fed you some bullshit ass story about someone cursing our family line and whatnot for using dark magic" she said. I stayed silent. Loss of words. Waiting. She smirked at my silence. " Our family line isn't cursed. Our great ancestor Myra tapped into magic, to bring her lover back from death. It was a different type of magic. Magic born of chaos, called expression. She used expression to bring her lover back, but could not control it. She ended up killing her lover all over again from its power. Expression chooses the witch, not the other way around. Our mother tapped into expression on a false claim from dear Rose here. Mother wanted to k
Samael Pov " Jasmine and I have been searching every realm, top to bottom. It's like she just completely disappeared", I tell Rynyxon. It had been a few hours since Ava and Adam were taken. Due to Jasmine turning me part demon, I could sense when other demons were around, and a huge wave hit both Jasmine and I the second that demon and Brandon walked through the portal. One look at Brandon and I knew he was no longer himself. From my study of demons, only high-level demons were able to control those already dead. Brandon was now a changeling. Nasty monsters who feed off the flesh and blood from live or dead victims, to stay alive. There was only one way to reverse the changeling process, and that was to find his spirit and blast it back into his body. I would find a way to save him, for my sister, but Ava was a priority. Atlas has been keeping his cool about the situation, but from one king to another, I know the pain of having the fear of not knowing whether your mate is alive or d
Harmon Pov Someone was watching me. That much was clear as I made my way back home. I promised myself I wouldn't be going back any time soon, but it seemed like things were about to happen. Events much bigger than myself. My mission to find Brandon's body was not over, and I planned to keep looking, but everything in my mind told me to go back home. That, somehow, the answers would be waiting for me. I traveled through some cities until I came close to the border of home. Every time I turned around, I saw someone in black jeans and a black hoodie, getting closer and closer. I decided to travel through the trees. I would catch them off guard and kill this stalker. I waited in a tall oak tree until I saw the stalker pass the tree, I was in. They were too late in turning around as I had jumped out of the tree, putting my dagger into their back. They fell to the ground. I grabbed my knife from their back and pulled the hood off of them, but the site of who it was, made me stagger. No way
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
