LOGINIvonne’s povMy husband was dead, and I was the one who had killed him.Unimaginable grief tore through me with sharp piercing pains that left me struggling to breathe, but the voices didn’t stop."He's dead!" the voices cheered, spinning around in my head like wild beasts. "The weak Alpha is gone! Now kill the rest! Rule this world! Finish it!"Something inside me violently snapped.It wasn't a slow realization. It was a atomic explosion of pure, raw, maternal and spousal agony."NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"I threw my head back and let out a scream so loud, so terrifying, that the very air around us shuddered. The walls of the Obsidian Spire cracked. Tears burst from my eyes, washing away the red tint in my vision."GET OUT OF ME!" I screamed at the voices inside my head. "GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!""What are you doing?!" the voices shrieked in panic. "We are your power! You need us!""I DON'T WANT YOU!" I roared, grabbing my own head with both hands. "YOU KILLED MY HUSBAND! GET OUT OF MY BODY
Ivonne’s povBlack flames now danced across my fingertips, burning hot and cold all at once. The world around me had turned into a sea of red, blurred and twisted by the monstrous darkness clawing at my mind. I couldn't see my friends anymore.I couldn't see the ancient stone of the courtyard. All I saw were enemies. Weak, foolish creatures trying to stop me from protecting my babies."Kill them," the voices hissed, scratching at the inside of my skull like razor blades. "They are holding you back. Cut them off!""Yes," I whispered to myself, my voice echoing with a horrifying, double-layered tone. "Cut them off."I raised both of my hands, targeting the group standing near the entrance, trying to blast them apart, but Leo, Sevrin, and Thorin moved with incredible speed, diving across the floor to hide the crying twins and shield the injured Oracle."Ivonne, no!" Denise screamed, her voice cracking with pure terror.I ignored her. I thrust my arms forward, sending a massive, roaring t
Ivonne's povThe last bit of my sanity shattered, and a wave of pure, unadulterated fury took over. I turned away from the oath, raised both of my hands toward Larry, and unleashed everything.A massive, terrifying pillar of pitch-black magic exploded from my body.BOOM!The black beam slammed directly into Larry's chest, throwing him backward against the obsidian throne. He let out a blood-curdling scream as my black magic began eating away at his body, rapidly draining his life force.With Larry blasted away, his control over the floating red bubbles broke. The spheres vanished, and the two crying infants began falling through the air.Leo and Sevrin broke through the shattered barrier, diving forward and catching both babies safely in their arms."Ivonne! Stop!" the Oracle yelled, holding the babies close to her chest. "The children are safe! We have them! Stop!" She shouted as I focused all my energy on finishing Larry off."YESSS Finish him..." the dark voices hissed inside my he

EnjoyIvonne's pov"Ah, Ivonne," Larry purred, his red eyes glinting with satisfaction. "I knew you would come. I have been waiting for you! I knew the moment you realized how helpless your little Alpha was, you would walk right into my hands."He took a step down the stairs, spreading his arms wide. "Look at you. You didn't even bring your precious pack. I'm a little surprised, to be honest. I kind of expected you to at least TRY to bring your friends along, but I can sense that they are nowhere near here. Why is that?""It's none of your business," I said. My voice was completely flat. Cold. "Where are my children?"Larry chuckled, pressing for an answer. "Come now, Ivonne. It's not like you to walk into a trap completely unprotected. Are you not scared of what will happen to you without your friends here?"I stared straight into his
Ivonne's pov"Ivonne? Ivonne, what are you doing?" A voice called out from behind me.I froze, my hand clutching the edge of my dark cloak. Slowly, I turned around.Standing in the doorway was Denise. She was holding a warm cup of herbal tea, her eyes swollen and red from crying. But when she saw me wrapped in the travelling cloak with my hood pulled up, her jaw dropped. The tea cup shattered on the floor, spilling hot liquid across the wooden planks."Ivonne?" Denise whispered, taking a step back in horror. "What are you doing? Where are you going?""I'm leaving, Denise," I said, my voice flat and hollow. "I have to go to the Obsidian Spire.""Are you crazy?!" Denise gasped, rushing forward to grab my arms. As a Lycan, her grip was strong, tight, and unyielding. "You can't go there alone! Larry will kill you! Hector is setting up the scouts right now. We are going to figure out a plan together!""There is no plan!" I snapped, pulling against her grip, but she held on tight. "If Hecto
Ivonne's povThe courtyard was dead silent, save for the bitter crackle of extinguished lanterns and the sound of my own shattered, gasping sobs.The moment the demonic portal snapped shut, the black chains around Hector dissolved into thin air. He scrambled across the cold stone, gathering me tightly against his chest as I collapsed into absolute hysterics."I had them... but he took them... he took our babies Hector!" I shrieked, my voice breaking into raw, ragged screams.Hector held me like a man trying to keep his own soul from splitting open. His arms were shaking violently, and around us, our friends—Elara, Leo, Sevrin, Denise, Thorin, Justin, and Viera stood in total shock.Denise was weeping softly into Sevrin's chest, while Elara looked on with a pale, horrified expression, her hands clutching her own pregnant stomach.With a guttural, terrifying roar of pure agony, Hector stood up, turning to the nearest marble pillar. He slammed his bare fists into the stone over and over
