Asher's Point Of ViewI woke up to the sun hitting my face through the window with tingles and currents dancing across my chest as Cirilla nestled into my body in her sleep, her silken blonde hair sprayed over my chest. I sighed in contentment, a slow smile displayed as I thought about last night. It was the best night of my life. I couldn't possibly begin to describe the ecstasy that drowned me while claiming her. It was the best feeling ever.She was the epitome of beauty. I couldn't help but admire the way the golden rays of the sun wandered appreciatively over her body as I ran the pad of my fingers on her smooth and delicate skin, watching her stir again in my arms. She looked so angelic in the sunlight and I leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Princess, it's morning,” I murmured, placing a kiss on her cheek softly and she groaned, pulling the sheets up to cover her face. “Wake up baby,” My hand went up to the ruby necklace on her neck. My fingers slowly trailed the small moon
Cameron's Point Of View I clenched my jaw tight as a sharp scream tore from Cirilla's lips from whatever Zeriyah was doing to her and Asher's growl instantly followed, his wolf a second of unleashing but I caught his eyes and shook my head, and his face only eased when Cirilla visibly relaxed.Zeriyah turned to the table, nodding.Alex was the first to speak. “How did you first meet Mason?”I rolled my eyes as everyone's gaze shifted to Cirilla's.“At the bar, I worked as a partimer one night. He seemed nice and harmless and I had no idea what or who he truly was, I didn't know who I was myself. But he obviously knew. I thought he cared genuinely about me,”“So you had no idea who he was?” Alex repeated, and my daughter shook her head.“No, I had no idea who he was,”“What do you know about the prophecy?” Greg asked.“I only found out about it a month ago. And I know that somehow I am the reason Mason is here, but contrary to what you may all think, I am not like him and will never b
Asher's Point Of View With a pang of pain in my chest, I sent one last look at my beautiful mate, her eyes fixed on me as I slid into the black truck Wren had brought to pick me up.My eyes watched her grow farther and farther through the sideview mirror until she was completely out of view.I sank deeper into the leather seats, folding my arms against my chest, with my eyes closed and just the conjured image of her calmed me, and I couldn't wait for tonight to be over already.Wren and I drove in silence, and soon, we approached the tarmac where the rest of the group waited for us consisting of demon warriors from the Conclave and warriors from my pack.As we approached, they all bowed to me. Without wasting further time, we boarded the private jet with our backpacks and duffle bags with a box of weapons specially crafted by Ugo. Our destination was Las Vegas.We received recent Intel from our informants scattered across the globe on the lookout for unusual activities regarding demo
Davina's Point Of ViewMy worst nightmare was happening. My fears were all emerging, suffocating me. Killing me from the inside.I couldn't stop the screams, the deathly howls that kept echoing in the corner walls of my mind. I couldn't drive away the gruesome scene from my mind.I didn't know how to deal with everything I had seen and what I was feeling. I felt tears prickle at the corners of my eyes, but I shut them down. I didn't want to break down. Not yet. Otherwise, I fear I may never get back up.I felt Cameron's intense stare on me, but I couldn't even look at him without relieving everything over and over again. I had closed off our mates’ link the instant we returned to the courtroom.Without a single trail of emotion in my voice, and on my face, I informed the entire court of what I had seen in Elle's mind. But this wasn't from her memories. Idalak had done this, showing me exactly what he planned on doing. It ended in the same result as I saw in Cyrene's stone. The end for
Asher’s Point Of ViewThe first thing I saw as I pulled my eyes open was the familiar white decking of the roof. Instantly, I knew where I was. In my room at my pack.I inhaled slowly, forcing myself up from the bed. I didn't feel any pain at all. I pulled my shirt to check my injury but it was completely healed.Just then the door to the walk-in closet opened and I smiled as I saw Cirilla walk out with a pair of clothes in her hand. “Oh, thank God!” Her gorgeous blue eyes lit up as soon as she saw me. She sped towards me, and just when I thought she was going to crash into my arms, her full plum lips came crashing against mine instead.Instantly, my hand went through her full hair, and the other gripped her waist as I deepened her kisses. We pulled apart and rested our heads together. “No talking. I just need to feel you. I need to erase the pain away,” She whispered as her eyes connected with mine and soon they sparkled with unshed tears. “Gosh, I thought I lost you…”“You'd never
Cameron's Point Of ViewI still believed this was crazy. Hell, this was the craziest idea I had heard in ages. And to say I was worried was an understatement. I was terrified. I had complete faith in Davina and her plan, but that wasn't enough to evade the fear in my heart. This wasn't our typical walk in the park. This was dangerous. If anything went wrong we wouldn't just have Idalak to deal with but crazy ass Rowena still driven with her hate and hunger for dark magic.I sighed.I leaned against the Council's round table with my intertwined together setting under my chin. The courtroom was as silent as a graveyard. This silence has lingered for almost twenty minutes now since Davina and Rhona had explained to them everything she had told me. And still, no one had uttered a single word.Elder Alex was the first to speak. His gaze scanned through our quiet faces before he cleared his throat. “Traveling back into the past,” He released a deep breath. “It's dangerous. If anything goes
Davina's Point Of ViewI was sitting on the boulder stone a few inches away from where Emily was and next to her was Rowena's coffin which I had unsealed. She had begun the spell to bring back Rowena.Just as I suspected, the precious talisman she had spoken about was the black necklace on her neck. That little dark object had Rowena's soul in it.She has been in the spell for almost an hour now. She turned around to stare at me for a second, before continuing with her spell.She picked up the ritual knife, slitting her palm, and squeezing her blood on Rowena's skeletal bones while chanting.After she was done, she picked up the black stone pendant of the necklace and kept on chanting. Her purple eyes glowed brighter and the air around charged with magic and slowly, the pendant began to turn white as though whatever was in it was being emptied.I brought my gaze back to the stick I had picked up in the woods, giving it all my attention as I played with it, snapping it into two and plac
Davina's Point Of ViewWe spent the rest of the night going around the forest. At first, each trail either led us to a dead end or took us through another circle. And Rowena's constant mumbling was a crown on the insane frustration I felt. It took me every bit of self-control not to plunge the dagger in my boots into her chest and I kept reminding myself that I needed her just as much as she needed me to get out of there. Alive.So in the meantime, we were all we had.After hours of going around in circles in the forest, we finally found our way out, bursting out in the middle of a long narrow path, and up ahead seemed like a village.We moved hastily in the darkness, and using the single torch on a stick we managed to light up to see in the darkness. We trekked up the hills and burst into the village. I stopped in my tracks, and as expected there was no single soul in sight. But something else felt wrong. The place felt deserted.“Something doesn't feel right,” Suddenly, I felt a lit
