Crossing The Bridge Chapter 43: The Last Moment of Peace
[Gia’s POV]After some more rest, I took a shower and then went down with Jace to the kitchen to have a snack with Dante and Jackson.My mates stayed in their offices working on security tape footage reviews and consulting with Trinity. My body and mind still feel off and I was not in the mood for a full dinner.I sat down with Dante at the smaller table in the kitchen and we enjoyed some cut fruits and pastries while talking about a new adventure that his stuffed animals were going to embark on.It is so nice to relax and listen to his stories. After we ate a bit, we made our way over to the movie room to watch a new animated action movie that he has been asking to see.He snuggled up next to me with our blankets wrapped around us and started the movie. Not knowing how much time passed, I woke up to Sam’s strong arms carrying me upstairs.“I am sorry, I must have dozed off,” I said softly. “You never need to apologize to me, my love. It has been a long and crazy day,” he replied. “Wh
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 44: Our Missing Mate
[Max’s POV]“Mate…Mate,” my wolf Dom yelped in a warning tone. I mind-linked my Beta, Jason, Sam, and Damen, that Dom thinks something is wrong with Gia.“I am running to the greenhouse now, Alpha. Jackson has Dante safe,” Jason says through the link. Sam, Damen, and I ran out of the conference room and down towards the greenhouse with lightning speed.My wolf and I are both on edge, right now. “We should not have left mate alone,” Dom whines. “I know buddy,” I say to him in my mind.When we get to her greenhouse, we find Jace on the ground in a pool of blood. “He was attacked, there are claw marks just below his heart and stretching down his abdomen,” Jason says while examining her bodyguard Jace.I search and sniff the entirety of the greenhouse and garden, but Gia is nowhere in sight. Her lingering scent is strongest in the greenhouse, and I see her garden shears on the ground.“Lock everything down immediately! Our Luna is missing, and I want everyone searching for her now,” I com
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 45: Battle Plans
[Max’s POV]Pure rage is coursing through my veins right now. I need to find her. That piece of shit, Kali, has attacks planned all over the cities and at our borders.I cannot let the clock keep ticking, her life is at stake, and the lives of our people. Think Max, think, I kept saying to myself in my head.“We must get the Council of Elders involved. We just don’t have the numbers to fight this war on so many fronts, and to rescue our mate,” I said.“I will place the call right now, Alpha,” Jason said. “Chris, go talk to the leaders of the villages outside of all our borders and offer for them to seek refuge in our borders. Explain the situation to them and let them know that they do not owe us allegiance, just that we need to vet them before they enter the civic center grounds,” I commanded.“Max, I will have my warriors get our people to the upper central lockdown facilities, in case they do breach our wards,” Damen said. “Alpha, I have the elders on the phone,” Jason said.“Alpha
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 46: The World Will Be Mine
[Kali’s POV]After spending most of the day making sure the new recruits were being trained properly, I ordered my lieutenants and majors to meet my general Thanatos and me in the war room. Walking in they stand and greet me before we take our seats to initiate the strikes, we have been planning over the past several weeks. “Thanatos, what are the reports of where we are at with our numbers,” I questioned. “We are now at thirty-thousand strong, with the majority being the human scum we gathered from the surrounding prisons. Of that number four thousand are comprised of the rogue wolves, and the vampires, witches, demons, and fae who defected from their lands,” Thanatos replied. “That should be more than enough to take over and hold the cities, along with killing anyone who gets in our way. Let’s go over the strategies one more time, and then I will order the strike tonight. But, before we do, has there been word from Adam about my prize.” A wicked grin appeared on Thanatos's face as h
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 47: Let The Games Begin
[Sam’s POV]My inner demon is burning with rage inside of me, but I need to stay calm to find my love and protect my people.With our game plan now set, Max, Damen, Trinity, and I are preparing for war. So, few times in the hundreds of years I have been alive had I used the enchanted armor before me, and here I am now putting it on.I had hoped the days of war were far behind us. Few families were gifted enchanted armor, and mine was one of them. The elves of Mysteria crafted a dozen sets of armor, made of the finest supernatural steel. No human has ever had access to this material, or the magic bound to it.The metal itself contains high magical vibrations, with restorative properties as well as vibrations of high strength. After the armor was crafted, it was sent to the fae to enchant it with high magick.They placed enchantments of increased stamina, endurance, healing, quickness, and strength upon it. They were each given to members of supernatural royalty; vampires, werewolves, w
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 48: The Bronze Age
[Gia’s POV]From light to darkness, I fell, down a tunnel of blackness. The bottom approached and my body slammed against a floor made of some kind of liquid. Lying there I brought my knees to my chest and dared not to move while contemplating how this happened, where I am, if my son and mates are safe, and if the nightmare I had previously was coming to fruition. Darkness does not typically cause fear in me. I have spent so many years forced into facing my fears and oftentimes those fears haunted me more at night in my room or sleep. This was a different type of darkness though, not a speck of light could be found anywhere, the floor was covered in a liquid that I cannot see, and the only sound is my breathing and heartbeat. No fan running, no air conditioner or heater turning on to lull me to sleep, just nothingness. I fought to keep myself from moving, in fear that the darkness was going to consume me. As time passed, I worked to slow down my breathing to calm myself while continui
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 49: Sold
[Gia’s POV]As soon as the group of women left the chamber, four more women dressed in chiton gowns entered followed by another nun.When they approached my display case, they split with two on each side of me, and the nun unlocked the glass-domed door, which held me captive. She pulled down a lever, that loosened my binds. “Step forward Gianna, you are finally getting a man and home to serve. Follow me and we will prepare you,” the nun said to me.Prepare me, what the hell does that entail, I thought as I stepped down and out of the fancy glass cage and proceed to follow her.The other women stayed by my side as we reached the large and intricately detailed door. Shock hit my eyes when the door was opened, and the bright lights burned my retinas.When my eyes adjusted to the light, I saw that we were walking through a beautiful courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded on three of the four sides by a two-story building with white railings on the top floor that wrapped all the way arou
Crossing The Bridge Chapter 50: Stairway to Hell
[Gia’s POV]On the ride to my destination, I took in the sights but kept my head as still and straight as I could to avoid any potential backlash. The wind swept my veil and cloth taunt against my skin, penetrating slightly through the tiny pores of the sheer fabric.The warmth of the sun kept the wind from forming goosebumps on my skin. Large pots lined the stone roads, each with different color combinations of roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, lilies, irises, hyacinths, peonies, and violets.The fragrances of those with strong scents tickled my senses in a blissful way. The architecture of the buildings and homes appeared to be of ancient Greek origin, but the roads were not dirt as used in Greece during the Bronze Age.The clothing very much screamed Bronzed Aged Greece, but the nuns’ attire is still throwing me off. Just as I thought I could not be more confused about the era, culture, or place, a giant white stone building lay before me.Oddly, it looked like a modern office bu
