Shock was the word of the day apparently, I could not think straight, even less give an answer to everything they had told me. After what Peta told me, Nikolai decided to open his mouth and speak at once what he knew of my father, swearing that this would be a plausible excuse for me not to face my father, but I was their best chance, they would not leave me behind and I would never allow it. No witch of my clan accompanied us, as much as Alice wanted to come Blanca forbade anyone to follow me and I could not let my friend be in danger, each one who was there was already a disadvantage for me, because I would be more concerned with the well-being of all, not to mention Quanah. "How are you?" Flora approached Peta, who carried me on his back, as he marched in his wolf form. "I’m fine." It wasn’t true, but I didn’t want to worry everyone again. Every time Hades invaded Quanah mind my cry took the silence of the night. I was trying to stay firm and avoid screaming, but the pain was
"There you are!" Hades spoke with a smile on his face after he had just woken me with a blow. "Thought he would sleep all night? No, no. Look, gods don’t need to sleep, so why would I waste time watching you sleep?" "No need, just kill me and get it over with." I was tired, I didn’t know if it had been weeks or months, but certainly there hadn’t been a couple of days in that hell. "And risk my daughter being heartbroken? You know what people are capable of after a deception, imagine a half-goddess witch. It’s the same as signing my death." the mention of Bridget made an alarm ring in my head, I had seen her. "As long as she’s hopeful of finding you and keeping everyone else busy searching, I’ll be happy." "Searches? Others? What are you talking about?" I wanted to ask how many he was talking about, send our best hunters away and leave Bri alone was a mistake, a mistake I hoped Peta hadn’t made. I shook before his silence, no longer caring about the chains burning my body, my conc
Seth! It was the only word that was repeated in my mind as the image of him being impaled by the sword of fire. My blood boiled in the veins and at the same instant all the fire that Hades had use was extinguished, while a turmoil was created within me, I could feel something powerful and dark growing, as well as the sky moving above us. I couldn’t say anything, I stared at Quanah holding Seth’s now inert body, the cheerful boy now had no more life, his eyes so bright were now dull and paralyzed. It was looking into his eyes that I raised my left hand and closed my fist, the earthquake of the earth increased as I concentrated my power at the base of the mountain. Seth didn’t deserve that, none of them would be there if it wasn’t for me, and now he’s dead. I opened my fist with this realization and the mountain exploded into hundreds of pieces, just as I was going to do with that bastard who said to be a god. I held my arm high, keeping the shield invisible over everyone who was st
I was still facing the small army that now obeyed Bridget, she had succeeded despite not having so much training time, put the mountain down, ended the vampires at once and made Hades run like a scared rat. Unfortunately not all of them made it out well, apart from Seth another two were killed in the fight against the vampires. "Let’s get out of here, he can come back with more people and we are not prepared for another attack!" I said gathering all the forces I had. I held Bri’s limp body against mine, I might even be injured, but I wouldn’t stop taking care of her, I’d carry her if was necessary. "Bridget! Are you okay?" the voice of that worm invaded my ears and I wishy it to be a hallucination or some nightmare, but I saw just face to face, him was walking straight to us. "What are you doing here?" I growled my words, but it didn’t seem to shake him at all. Nikolai stopped beside Bri and held her face, touching her as if to prove that she was okay. But that lasted only the s
"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.My wounds should have h
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?" I
"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
