LAMIAI felt him before I saw him. My Atman rushed to our aide, more powerful than even when we had re-bonded.I felt the god inside him pulsing, his aura emanating from him like waves of authority. When my eyes caught Mathias, the aura of Arcas surrounded him as a brilliant blue hue of light. Like a barrier or shield.Behind him, also running at inhuman speed was Travis. My hope soared at the thought of defeating Aodh. I felt like we suddenly had a chance again.As I swung at the giant god with more gumption than only moments ago, my own aura rising and pushed out as I felt the inner goddess connect and strengthen me. I noticed Mike, Rhett, and Hunji jump in on the action. Each of them wielding their weapons and attacking Aodh with abandon.Hunji pulls Kellen out of the way, giving him the chance to recover and get back on his feet.With the four of us fighting against him, Mathias and Travis coming to aid our efforts, Aodh began to become confused with so many skilled and strong fig

LAMIAThe older shifter sits perched in a tree above my head. Her green eyes, which match mine, now hold a cosmic glow, and she has an ethereal look about her.Like a child full of energy, she hops out of the tree, landing in front of me.I suddenly feel sorrow when I realize I will never see my pups jump and play.

I would do it all over again if it meant a future not just for the realm but for my pups.“Come,” Ascena beckons. I follow her to the edge of the lake where she bends to the dark water's edge, sticking her fin

TALA3 months after defeating AodhThe vehicle jolted, jostling me back to reality from where I stared out the window. Slowly I turn my head to glance at Fergus. Rogue, as everyone else calls him, sat quietly. He too staring out the window. Unlike me who was lost in thought, even from this angle I could see his eyes darting from one tree to the next concentrating on eyeing potential threats.For some of us, the battle left us at ease knowing the realm's greatest enemy had been defeated. For others it only strengthened their insecurities, leaving them in a state of constant alert. Like Fergus. I don’t think his mind will ever leave the state of battle. Not just because of facing Aodh and his dark Army but also the past of when he was a slave under the rule of Vargr.Some experiences never leave a person. Though my own are with me constantly, I never let them rule my emotions. Tucking them away as memories and not dwelling on the past.He was mentally scared. Always in a state of high al
