Nobela ni S. V. Poel

FionaI felt like a child in a classroom as we all looked at the two gray-haired women standing before us. Their combined aura was more intimidating than I cared to admit. I got the impression that Anne was much older than Aisling, despite looking like she was the younger of the two."I'll make this as short as possible, as I have somewhere else I'm needed that's honestly a lot more important than being here, explaining things to you .....""Short, but obviously not sweet," Dhara quipped from Matthew's lap with a smirk as Sharia and Maya giggled.My eyes widened as they went from Anne, to Dhara, and back to Anne again."Just like your mother, aren't you?" Anne asked as she glared at Dhara.Aisling rolled her eyes, clicking her tongue in irritation. "You all just need to shut up for once and listen to Anne. She knows more than all of you put together. It wouldn't exactly hurt you to have a mentor of her standards."Anne smiled as Dhara's face fell. "Aisling and I have known each other f

FionaThe air was eerily quiet around us as the sun set in the background, making the sky look like it was angry, or possibly embarrassed. I honestly couldn't tell which.It was as if nature itself knew the severity of what I had just done, and was shocked into silence. Not a tweet from a bird, a bark from a squirrel, nor a rustle of leaves from the wind, as there wasn't even a slight breeze. I couldn't even hear the water splash from Seneca Lake. It was like everything stopped to contemplate the meaning of life. After I swallowed the scratchy lump that had formed in my throat, I opened my mouth to speak, my voice hoarse thanks to the fire that had escaped it. "Why don't you all go home and try to relax for the night. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for showing up and supporting me. The others and I have a lot to discuss and try to figure out."As if the Earth's silence became their own, the group of water fairies that stood behind me quietly dispersed.I turned around and

Senora The burning lava substance made it's way towards Aisling, as screams from the crowd filled the air around us, a combination of shock, fear, and anger as to what they were seeing of their elders.Rieka immediately stepped between Aisling and the burning material, stopping it with her powers."A little help would be nice!" Rieka yelled as she pushed her feet into the dirt to brace herself.You know how they say everything was in slow motion? Well, it wasn't. I didn't even have a chance to react as I watched from the porch, a mixture of emotions coursing through my body. I was completely clueless about how to react, and if it wasn't for Rieka ...."Colton, what the fuck are we supposed to do?! They're our elders!"Colton turned and looked at me with an equally confused and shocked expression. "You're asking me?! The fuck if I know!"Cerulean shook his head. "Rhi is the only one of us that can actually stop them without fighting them .....""We fu.cking SHOULD be fucking fighting t

FionaThe events that took place were all just a little too surreal. I was still having a hard time believing that the six dragon elders simply washed their hands of their long-standing duties, leaving the deities in complete charge of their hemispheres. But I suppose when you've gone so long living a lie about things that you stopped believing in, and losing children because of those things, you stop caring. Funny how the fear to stand up for what's right leaves one's mind once others are willing to do the same.The elder dragons all made their way back to their homes to take care of business, while the rest of us did the same. Once we were just a few hours from home, we decided to rent an SUV big enough to seat the seven of us comfortably and drive the rest of the way back. It was simply easier than trying to fly into the city as exhausted as we were.I was honestly enjoying the ride as I leaned onto Levi and he wrapped his arm around me. Everything finally felt .... right.Rhi's voi

Beckett"Trust me," Joseline said.Two simple words. For years, the fairies didn't trust the dragons. To be honest, we never really even had much to do with them. Whenever there was a ceremony held, everyone was invited out of courtesy, nothing more.But now the twist of fate has ripped the door of change off of its hinges, allowing things to happen that were never allowed to happen before. Changes that should have been allowed to take place so long ago, but couldn't thanks to a few of the close-minded, power-hungry, and arrogant elders in power. That, mixed with the fear that many had to stand up to do what's right.This is what happens when we allow others to have the power to be in control for so long. When one tries to force others to think, feel, and believe what they do, they no longer care about anyone other than themselves. Mix it in with a fear of what they don't understand and anger about what they don't agree with, and it creates hatred that shouldn't be. A hate that those i

FionaThe Andes, Copahue volcano to be specific. Of course, we would have to travel a ridiculous distance away from home and that puke would go to his own hemisphere. We all knew Glaurung would, it was just a matter of him tiring himself out enough to make a mistake and alert Fafnir of his general location. Despite the reason we were here, and the fact that we were bouncing around in one of the Avtoros Shaman 8x8s that Fafnir insisted on buying, I still appreciated nature's beauty as I looked out the window. It was raining, after all. What more could I ask for?In true fashion, I pissed off those who I instructed to stay behind when I told them that they had to watch over things in my absence, which went over as well as accidentally using super glue instead of lube on your privates.I can understand their frustration. Honestly, I can. Whereas I told them it wasn't their fight, it's really not my fight either, and yet here I am. I couldn't risk my fairies' lives for this, and I really p

Isabella We stopped walking once we reached a large oak tree standing alone in the center of a low-cut field surrounded by wooded hills. Thunder echoed in the distance as thick, black clouds took over the sky. It didn't take long before large drops of rain started to fall. "I thought it was supposed to be clear tonight?" Timophy asked as he and Chantel watched their minions gather dead wood and throw it in a pile near the tree. Chantel scoffed and rolled her eyes as the rain dripped from her body. "It doesn't matter. A full moon is a full moon. They won't risk their warriors being here. They'll come running as soon as they see the fire. Especially since we not only have the whore, but their beloved Delta as well. It's now or never." She's a smarter bitch than I gave her credit for. I watched as two rope nooses were thrown over the thickest branch of the tree, and my eyes widened as I realized what they were doing. They were recreating the night that Gypsy Moon was killed .

Rieka So many sets of confused eyes were watching every move I made. I knew that our warriors didn't understand why they were called here during a full moon .... and by a voice they didn't recognize. We never had a chance to have a formal introduction party, let alone an actual Luna ceremony. Sure, they knew about Izzy, Mia, and I. They knew about the attack involving Jo and that Gram had been killed. They knew why security had been increased and that there was at least one traitor among them. However, only a handful had met me, and now I was asking them all to fight when their instinct told them not to. Seth stepped forward to address everyone. "We don't know for sure what we're dealing with, so be cautious and pick your opponents wisely! If you feel overpowered or outnumbered, do not hesitate to get out of that situation and seek assistance. There is no shame in surviving. The fairies are here to fight alongside us. Fight with them and for them as if they are members of this p

Selene Being the Moon Goddess isn't always full of moonshine and puppies. I would love it if it were, but more often than not, it's about creating unions that are the best for the future. Sometimes, I'm wrong. And sometimes, the werewolves I pair together reject one another for their own personal reasons. With each failed bond, an unwanted rift is created .... and back to the drawing board I go. Most don't know it, but I often discuss possibilities with Fenrir. The large, muscular man with tanned skin, brown eyes, and a clean-shaven head may not look like much in the brains department, but being the werewolf God of war has its place, as love and war always seem to go hand in hand. Fenrir and I sat quietly, side by side, on the wooden dock, gazing into the deep, dark waters of the large pond. The water was so dark that I couldn't even see my midnight black hair in my reflection. All I saw was my moon-white skin. "I really hope that you know what you're getting them into, " Fe

Rieka It was the night of the third day of Izzy's kidnapping, and we weren't any closer to figuring out what was going on and where she was. After dinner, we all gathered in the living room to continue discussing how to adjust our plans for the next day. Well, everyone except for Damian. Damian had missed dinner yet again. And I may have been there physically, but mentally, I wasn't even in the room. While the others talked, I sat quietly, trying to force a link to open with Izzy. "You know that it's insane to continuously perform the same action while expecting a different outcome, right?" Lupa asked. I closed my eyes and sighed, knowing that she was right. But how the hell could a simple dark witch be more powerful than Sylvia and I? Besides, I was all out of ideas ..... other than offering myself to Dis ....... Lupa growled deeply. "You shut up with that way of thinking. We will find her. And it won't involve you sacrificing our lives in exchange for hers. You don't even

Damian I looked up at the beautiful sunset sky as the full moon began to make her appearance. A part of me wanted to let Ace take over, but we were both so weak and stressed right now that there was a good chance we'd go crazed. It was our own stupidity for not taking care of ourselves over the past three days, but doing so wasn't what was important. We all knew that Bella's kidnapping wasn't random. Dis had been far too quiet since Timophy and Laura attacked Rhi and Jo. We all knew that it was only a matter of time before the devil made his move, and it wasn't anything that we could predict or prevent. But what no one was anticipating was the pack having a traitor to help him. Seth increased the number of guards even more, even rotating our own warriors with those that Blue's sisters sent, and he made it a requirement that all vehicles be checked every time they crossed pack property lines. Search parties worked around the clock looking for Bella, but it wasn't an easy task,

Isabella I sat on the hard, wooden floor with my eyes closed tightly as I bit my lips together, wishing that my captors would just hurry up and kill me. "Do we really have to go through this every day? You NEED to drink. You don't understand how important it is," Peter grumbled as he continued to hold the bag of blood up to my lips. I finally opened my eyes and stared into his teal orbs. "Need to? No, I don't. I'll just become a fucking mummy if I don't eat. And the last bag tasted like shit. Knowing you and your partner, it's probably sepsis. " Peter squinted his eyes and dropped the bag in my lap as he stood up. "One would think you'd be appreciative of the fact that I'm offering you substance .... and that your hands are no longer behind your back. If I wanted to hurt you, I would have fucking done it by now, not made you more comfortable," he snapped before leaving me alone in the old, dimly lit, one-room building, locking the door behind him. As he opened the door, I
