Lahat ng Kabanata ng Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Angelica’s POV My wolf was doing her best to keep up with the creature, but as the mountain stood now in front of us, we both knew that eventually we were going to have to cross back over the river if we wanted to stop the creature before it got to Joffrey. I began to rack my brain at that moment, trying to figure out a way to stop the beast, as it was clear that my Goddess power had no negative effect on it, making me now believe that the creature was sent by the Gods, but why. The only thing that I knew about the creature was that it didn’t like water, as I was sure that the flame that fueled it would die, ultimately killing the beast itself. Unfortunately, I didn’t know the land here, to know where I could lead it away from Joffrey to a major source of water. As the river steered to the right, and the creature began to ascend the mountain that I was sure was towards Joffrey, my wolf let out another warning howl to Joffrey, before she

Angelica’s POV “Oh my, what happened to the two of you?” Joffrey’s grandmother asked, as we walked onto her front porch, both naked and covered in dirt, dripping wet from the pouring rain, and this was not how I wanted her to see me. “We were attacked by a creature not from this world.” Joffrey tells her, and her eyes widen as she moves her hand to cover her mouth, while Joffrey motions for me to enter the house, and I quickly head for the stairs, needing to wash myself clean and put on a set of fresh clothes. Heading straight for the bathroom, I hopped into the shower, letting the hot water run down over my head, allowing it to warm my flesh, as I closed my eyes and leaned against the wall, wondering how I was going to find the strength to get through this. Just days ago, I thought I had the power within me to stop this, but the more I learn, the more I realize that the power I have within me is so minute compared to what we are up agai

Angelica’s POV I stared at Joffrey in disbelief that he was accepting the fact that his soul was to be collected by Hades, and instead of worrying about it, his focus was on saving all of us. How did he expect me to just forget what we had just learned about his fate and focus my attention on what we initially came here for. Even as he begins to say to his grandmother, “You need to tell us everything you know about the sunstone and its powers...” My mind wasn’t focused on what either of them were saying, but on him, as I just stood there staring at him, realizing that he was giving up his future, a future that I thought just moments ago was destined to be with me. “Angelica, did you hear that?” Joffrey says to me, as he waves his hand in front of my face, pulling my attention partially back to the present, as he says, “You have the blood of a Goddess, which means you should be able to unlock its powers.” I just stood ther

Angelica’s POV Something had changed in Joffrey’s mind set, making me wonder what happened to cause him to change his mind about me tapping into its power again, but I wasn’t going to question it right now, as long as he was willing not to just hand his soul over to Hades once this was over with. Stepping outside with my hand in Joffrey’s, I spotted his grandmother standing in the middle of the front yard with a woman in a black cloak. The woman’s head instantly turned to look in our direction and as soon as our eyes met, I could sense that she wasn’t just any woman, but a very old and powerful witch. As we walked towards them, I heard Joffrey’s grandmother saying, “Thank you, Carla. I am sorry for having to call upon you, but I had no other choice.” “Madam Eleanor, please do not apologize. I am forever in debt to you and your family for what you have done for me. I have made sure that your land is secure, from the creatu

Angelica’s POV This was definitely not part of my plan, which I was now seeing was a bit careless of me. In my defense, how was I to know that he had a whole pack of these beasts, but of course he would because he was a God, and probably had an endless supply of them at his fingertips. One of the hellhounds at that moment barked at me, making me leave out a nervous chuckle, before I said, “Down boy.” As if the beast was a damn dog that was going to listen to me. But to my surprise, the hellhound that I had just commanded began to shift before my eyes, just as if a wolf would turn into a human, but this creature now staring back at me was no human from this realm. His eyes still burned with a flame in them, as he stared at me, and it didn’t take long for me to realize that this creature in front of me had no soul. “Hades demands the soul promised to him.” The creature said with a voice that almost sounded demonic like he w
