"You don’t seem to have missed me that much." I muttered as we went up to the room.

I needed an urgent shower, needed to remove that dirt and clean those wounds that did not heal. But not as much as I wanted to understand what had happened between her and that sneaky creature.

"I didn’t know you were that jealous." Bri smiled, trying to lighten the mood, but no joke would be able to make me laugh after seeing them so intimate.

I entered the room quietly and placed her on the floor, before turning towards the bathroom.

I tore off my shirt, which was a pile of dirty rags at that height and the pants. When I raised my face I was frightened by the man I saw reflected there.

My eyes were faded, the gold that reflected in any light was now lifeless. Around the eyes were two purple spots, showing how little I had been able to rest that week.

My arms and torso were marked by the burns of the chains, just as my body was filled with dust from the battle and Seth’s blood.

    I had finally opened my heart and laid out everything that had taken me long to realize. Quanah was broken, I could see it, but that’s not why I said it all at once, was because I knew we could be apart again tomorrow, and now he would know that I loved him even if we were separated.He slid his hands down my abdomen, contouring my waist and tearing my blouse over my head. His hands flew to the bra clasp as his mouth attacked me again.I felt his warm palm against my naked breast and could not contain the groan, I pushed my breast against his hand, wanting more of his touch. Quanah trapped the nipple between the forefinger and thumb and spun it, felt it right in my cunt, which pulsed in response.I moved my hip, wanting to feel his erection, needed some relief and only he would give me this the right way. I got up in a hurry and he understood the message, his hands held the waistband and he pulled my jeans hard, taking my panties along. I almost fell as he tore off one leg, then went

    That night I thought we were going to bed and have a night of peace, because that’s all we needed. But that word was being scratched out of our lives, little by little.Quanah was asleep, deep beside me, but I was awake, as if I had slept all day and not the other way around.For the first time in my life I didn’t feel tired at all, so I decided to get out of bed and go after something to drink, a hot milk might help, it used to work when I was younger.I snuck out of bed and watched the empty, silent corridor, that time of dawn and after all the fighting of the day, so I was not surprised that everyone was sleeping."Bridget." a voice whispered calling me as I left the elevator, but when I looked around there was nothing there."I’m going crazy, that’s all!"I continued my way, focused on arriving in the kitchen, but the voice returned to whisper my name, now humming."Bridget, Bridget..." was a familiar voice, but at the same time I could not decipher whose it was."Who’s there?"

    "What were you doing down there?" Quanah asked as soon as we returned to the room. "I thought you was asleep." "I couldn’t fall asleep and went down for some milk." I sighed realizing that even there I wasn’t safe. "I didn’t think they’d try to attack me in here, much less that people who helped raise me would do that." Quanah stroked my back, trying to console me somehow, but my head still turned to the moment Kalina undone the spell and unmasked Agnes. "I’m sorry this happened." he kissed my hair calmly, showing a side that I did not know he had, a caring side and totally dedicated. "Unfortunately I can not tell you that this will change, your power is too great and this will attract people from all sides, people who won’t always want your good." He was right, more and more I began to think that I was not safe anywhere, first Nikolai used Seth to get to me and now the witches used Agnes to try to take me to them. What would come next? "She was like an aunt to me, how did she

    Agnes was brought up in front of us with a guard on each side, plus her arms was tied in her back, she had a purple mark one on her head, which for sure I was responsible for, but besides that there was nothing different about her. Her gaze was not as calm and gentle as I used to remember, it was hard and cold. Alice approached where we were, coming out of the crowd she stopped in the front row, next to Flora and Kalina. "We are gathered here today to judge this woman for her actions against Bridget Bishop." This time it was an elderly woman who spoke out. "She is accused of attacking the life of the young woman, pretending be the spirit of her mother with the intention of getting her out of here and taking her to the other witches of her Coven." They looked in our direction and with a nod they passed the word to Quanah. He took calculated steps until he was face to face with Agnes, before starting his questions. "Why did you want to take her out of here?" she said nothing, just

    I was in shock and out of breath, my heart was almost running out, I couldn’t breathe enough air for my lungs to work right and almost fell back. "Bridget, I think you’d better sit down." Quanah warned me holding tighter against him. "No, I need to know!" I wouldn’t leave until I had all the answers, however difficult and painful they might be. Kalina pushed the shadows back, ending Agnes' shouting, while we stared at her waiting for more answers. "I don’t know if you are one of those children who were visited with this power, I didn’t know there were any left." Kalina said and stared at us with those empty eyes, the black immensity consuming us. "Bridget obviously has a unique power and I can feel the nature of her magic touch mine, after all she is pure black magic, the same one I invoke, and I feel impelled to bow to her power. But you Alice, I can’t feel anything." "This can only be one more of her lies, must be saying all this shit just to get rid of torture." "Listen

    My concerns were right, that venomous snake in witch form had confirmed, that power was actually consuming Bridget and the more she used, the worse it would be. I was organizing the whole group that would escort them to the Coven, some of our warriors would stay there, because the pack also needed protection and with Hades on the loose we could not let our guard down. Bridget was worried about the other girls, I could see that, but I could only worry about her and our son. As much as they were all in danger, she was the only one who had begun to use the cursed powers, the others had more time while still not knowing anything. "We need to go as soon as possible." Peta entered the office as I passed the routes with Denah and the others who would accompany me. "You’re not going anywhere, you need to stay here and protect our territory..." "Luckier next time, I won’t stay here and leave them alone!" he interrupted me stating with full conviction. I raised my eyebrows in surprise, he

    Kalina approached Quanah and raised her hands toward his face, but I stopped her halfway, whatever she was going to do to him I wanted to know before. "It’s okay, Bri." he muttered, wanting to give me a confidence that even him didn’t have. Maybe I didn’t really want to know whether or not Hades was in his head, reading his thoughts. "That won’t hurt you." Kalina assured me. I shook my head and even reluctantly lowered my hands, letting her hold his face and rummage through his head. Quanah got his eyes black as night, just like hers and I sighed trying to be strong and not end it all ahead of time. But this time it did not take as long as with Agnes, perhaps because Quanah did not resist her invasion, she quickly got her answer and turned away, but the expression on her face made my heart hurt. "No! Say it’s not true!" I screamed, even if I didn’t know everything that would imply I knew it wasn’t a good thing. "Unfortunately it’s true, Hades probably made some connection to hi

    I was hating every minute of it, going back on my word and letting that worm get close to Bri, even with me gone, was the hardest thing I had ever done. I was trying to see on the bright side, the faster they left and found the others, the faster I would have my wife and son back near me. Nikolai came to us, did not hide all the worry he was feeling as he marched straight to Bri, at least that I could count on it, he cares about his "fiancée" so he’ll take good care of her "What happened here?" he questioned looking around at all the destruction and corpses. "Hades!" Bri was quicker with the words. "He found out what the witches were planning, wanting me and my sisters to destroy him so they could gain the power of the underworld. He got here before us and destroyed all the people who lived here, now he must be after the other two that are missing." "Sisters? You don’t have any sisters. I would know if you did." he stated with the same certainty that we did a few hours ago. "They

    And that’s what we did, Kalina created a circle calling him to be in our presence.I tried to insist that Quanah stay outside to protect Karl, but he refused and stood by me. He was still afraid of what had happened in the last days and I couldn’t even blame him for it. "Well, well, you again." the man appeared before us, the same as always, the black overcoat and the combat boots in the same color, but this time he looked younger, the hair had been cut. "What do you want now?" "Let it be known that we are the new ladies of the underworld. Hades is dead." he looked at each of us, as if he didn’t believe. "We need to talk about Nikolai." "I was afraid it would happen one day, just didn’t think it would be four ladies." he snorted, coming out of character right and showing his real side. "You don’t think just because you’ve become underworld commanders you can bring whoever wants to live, do you?" Well I wouldn’t deny that I thought of it, but it would be too easy and nothing with a

    I couldn’t believe I was finally holding my son in my arms, Karl was beautiful, he had a lot of his father’s especially golden eyes, but the hair was mine at least. I couldn’t say how happy I was, I knew I should be surprised and go after Hera asking everything she had done, how time had passed only for my son and why, which led her to accept to help me.But they were questions for another time, because I was tired of the confrontation with Hades, tired of all the problems and emotions I lived on the last day and especially tired of gods, for now I just wanted to stay with my family without thinking about problems. "When do you think you’ll get tired and give it to me?" Quanah questioned, complaining about what seemed like the fifth time.He hadn’t left my side since childbirth, everyone congratulated us and left, one by one until he left us alone. And Quanah stood there beside me, drooling on our enchanted boy with the small, fragile being in my arms. "Probably in about fifteen ye

    I ran to her, tearing her inert body from the arms of the unknown man and my heart broke when I saw her state. So helpless, fragile, it hurt me not to see her beautiful eyes, her smile, or even her cheeks getting flushed by something silly. "She lost a lot of blood, she needs to go to the hospital!" Kalina spoke above all the buzz around us. "No, she needs to lie down and let me do the rest!" Hera ordered and knowing who she was I did not do otherwise. "Let’s get this baby born!" "You can’t! It’s not time!" I protested at the idea of bringing our son to life, him wasn’t nine months yet. "It will be. Now take her inside." she was categorical, leaving no room for discussion and this time I could only trust. I took Bridget inside, hoping it wasn’t a complete mistake to bring a crazy goddess there. One that obviously knew what was going on with Bridget and her biological father, but claims they couldn’t interfere. "Bri felt something before she blacked out, she spoke of the baby."

    When Denah made me come back home, horrified that I was bleeding through my eyes and nose, but I knew what was going on, it was Bridget and she was dying! "I need to go after her! How can this fucking connection not be working? Because I can sense what’s happening to her, but I can’t locate her!" The healers were there, as were the ancestors, who tried at all costs to medicate me or to calm me down, but I couldn’t do it, couldn’t calm down, not when I felt Bridget increasingly weak and bleeding even more."Because she is not in this plan!" Irma, a former healer said. For a second the air lacked me and the floor seemed to no longer exist. My world would end if someday Bri was no longer here. I loved that woman with all my strength, with every atom in my body and until the day of my last breath that would not change. "No, that’s not true! I can still feel what’s happening to her, Bridget is weak, but she’s not gone!" "Quanah, she didn’t mean it that way. She’s not dead, she’s on a

    The place where Hades was hidden wasn’t exactly on earth, it was between our world and the underworld, according to Will and Kalina there was only one way to access this part of the universe, traveling by magic. "Just make sure we’re not going to hell." Brooke insisted once again, she was terrified that we might end up in hell, after all we all believed it was where Hades lived. "No Brooke, we are not going to hell. Only souls, demons and gods are allowed in that place and we are nothing like that." "Nikolai knew what he was doing, it is safe there, Hades believes to be protected and hidden, there are not many people who know this place and after the spell you cast on him something strange was happening." Spell? I swore nothing had happened to him after Alice started going against us. "Alice’s spell worked, didn’t it? The hate she was feeling for him killing Peta made her words more powerful than ours?" "Yes, Alice wished he would be trapped in agony and nightmares, and that’s h

    I was dissatisfied with having to stay away from Bridget once again, I understood her need to protect her friend, but I still wanted her to stay where I could keep an eye on her. I snorted around the office again, my restlessness had increased since I felt a sadness coming from her, it killed me not knowing what had happened to her feel that way, I had called more than once, but had no answer, no one was answering the fucking phone and that was just to make me more anxious. This time I could only contain my impulses and trust that she would be safe, Bri was powerful and could take care of herself. I just had to trust it and keep my negative thoughts locked away. "Quanah!" Denah’s voice took me out of my thoughts. "You have to do something about, or I will!" "What did he do now?" I said feeling the irritation overflow inside me. Peta was not being easy to deal with, since he had returned he was unbearable, impulsive, making decisions without asking or at least caring about others

    I was clinging to him and crying, in a way even the pain in my arm had been in the background. I didn’t care if he did what he did at Nikolai’s behest, he had stood by my side and that’s what matters. "I missed you so much, redhead." he muttered against my hair, hugging me tight like he always did when I was scared. "I wanted to see you so many times, I had so many questions." I raised my eyes to look better at him and held his face. "But now I’m just glad that you’re here." I was happy, even with all the shit going on around us, the only man I knew as a father, the last two people I have as family were there with me. "You’ll have time for that later, now Bridget needs to pay her debt with death. Before she takes it." "Nikolai is right, we did not come here just for reunions." Will stood up and lifted me up. "Nik has a gift for you." I frowned at Will, didn’t want to argue with him, especially now that we were together after so long. "The only gift Nikolai could give me was thi

    We left the house quickly, Brooke, Kalina and Jenna were with me, after all the aversion that Peta was demonstrating to Alice, I would not trust leaving any of them behind. "I didn’t understand why he was acting like this, they seemed so united when they came to get me, the two fought Hades and she suffered so much when he was being tortured, almost looking like it was her." Jenna confided, but the truth is none of us understood how that was happening. "And he did it to hurt her, just as he killed Peta just to distract us, he uses people without any shame." I didn’t know where we could go, we didn’t have any resources, Quanah gave me the key to the truck and some money, but we needed to locate Alice in a hurry. "Maybe bringing him back was a mistake." Brooke muttered. I was starting to think that too, but I was trying to stay focused and remember who he was, who he was since I got here. "Alice needs us now. Let’s focus on that." Kalina was doing a locator spell right about now,

    "No, there’s no way that Alice did anything like that!" I screamed for the thousandth time in front of the council. "She might be angry at her mother and scared of everything, but she wouldn’t do that." The elders, Peta, Quanah and Kalina were in the meeting room, discussing what we needed to do, what decision to make now. Alice was missing, but they wanted to hunt her down to find out what really happened, but I knew it wasn’t true, they would hunt her down to kill. They wanted to make her pay for the lives of the two guards, after all they did not care about Agnes. "You have to face the facts, Bridget! Alice was the only one in that room with her mother and the two guards, they’re dead and she’s missing. Do the math!" I was mad at Peta, I never thought I’d feel that way about him, but that’s how I was feeling. Maybe it was a mistake to bring him back after all, he had not thanked, fought with Alice and now raised the flag that she should be hunted. "Go to hell Peta!" I shouted b
