~ KATALEYA ~He gives me a beautiful smile that makes me all lightheaded as he caresses my cheek.“Is the cabrón not going to be here?” Enrique asks, a slight frown on his face as he glances at Dad.“I’ve mind-linked him. Continue, he’ll be here for his sister.” Dad’s voice is grim, and I know his annoyance is directed at Dante.Once again, I fall a little harder for Enrique. After what Dante did, he’s still thinking about me. He really is considerate of me. He now turns to me, and I’m graced with that charming gaze as he takes my hand, kissing my palm softly.How can you not love a man like him?I take a deep breath, exhaling slowly.This is it, time to sever my link with my pack for good and join my forever pack. I look over at them all, my eyes lingering on Mama and Dad.‘We’re going to miss mind-linking with you, honey.’ Mama’s voice comes into my mind as she smiles at me.I nod, as Dad simply gives me a small crooked smile, his eyes glittering red. I take a deep, shaky breath, but

~ ENRIQUE ~I took a while out from the afternoon to visit those who would not be fighting, to give them some hope and some faith even if I have no idea what will go down. I owe them that. I am their Alpha and I am the one responsible for giving them confidence. It is now night and the only sounds that can be heard are people performing last-minute checks and carrying out small tasks for the coming battle.I have never felt calmer, despite the high tension that thickens the air. I feel in control. The Blood Moon that is almost up in the sky is a strong reminder of what it stands for. Some may even find their mates tonight, and if they do, I do hope they make it through the night so they can experience that properly.“Enrique.” I turn as Jose calls me. He’s quieter, the concern in his eyes obvious. “We’re ready for you.”I nod, ready to give my warriors courage and confidence. I will make it through for them, for myself, and above all for Kataleya. Mi Diosa.I step out into the open and

~ KIARA ~I watch Raihana leave in anger, wishing there was something I could do to ease the pain that weighs upon her soul. I glance at Liam, who looks a little concerned. They have always had a good relationship. They are an incredible team on the battlefield, but since Chris’s death, I feel she’s pushed everyone away.But how can I judge? I can’t even imagine putting myself in her shoes. Imagining losing Alejandro is terrifying. Just the thought makes my chest squeeze painfully. How would I even live a day without him?Yet Raihana is doing that every single day.Living on.She’s lost her father and her mate…“You were hard on her,” I say to Liam quietly as I step into the hallway. He looks up from his phone.“I didn’t mean to, I just thought she’d appreciate me keeping my distance.”“Telling her the reason probably stung. She’s so strong, Liam. She’s gone through so much… no one goes through that and survives. She’s fiercely protective of everyone and only wants to help.” I remind h

~ ENRIQUE ~Kataleya, Benigno and Antonio are in front of me.“Enrique!” Kataleya shouts, “Are you alright!” She swings her sword at one of them, but unlike the others, they are trained well and dodge swiftly. Letting out a blood-curdling cry, one that seems to target every corner of our souls. I can taste the blood in my mouth.“Careful!” Alejandro growls before he’s beside her, motioning me to stay back. Irritation flashes through me, but I know why he’s being protective. We all know Azarakh can take control of me, and we can’t risk putting her in harm’s way.I jump back, touching my neck as blood spills down it.‘You’re hurt!’ Kataleya exclaims.‘I’m fine,’ I reassure her as Royce and Skyla engage the third crawler and I back up, giving myself some space.“Who the fuck are you and where is your cowardly leader, Azarakh? What’s wrong? Is he not able to fight?” I sneer. They spoke moments ago. I know they can understand me.Antonio and Benigno circle us, creating a protective shield w

~ KATALEYA ~“Alright, the hospital is reinforced,” Raihana says. “I made sure the entire protection went from beneath the property. Only my death can take that away.” Her confidence makes me smile as I push forward, raising my hand as wisps of blazing pink twirl around me and I push them away.“Thank you, Ri.”“No need.”I smile, glad I have such an amazing family.I behead another crawler, my eyes blazing as I feel my thigh tingle as my mark surfaces, making the crawlers hiss as they shrivel back.I summon forward my power, gasping when I feel the crown on my head, and the shield that now appears strapped to my arm. I raise my arm, my hair whipping across my face as three crawlers slam into it before they shriek and jump away.I spin, jumping forward before kicking one of them. My armour is impressive and flexible. I can feel the power in the shoes, the way they adapt to any terrain, the way that the fabric itself is armour, even the crawlers are unable to rip the fabric.
