-RAINA'S POV-

It was day two abroad the yacht and my mind was flooded with happy memories. I opened the door to the master cabin and Valen was sitting on the bed, leaning up against the headboard, reviewing reports on his phone.

As usual, he was bare-chested, only wearing charcoal lounge shorts. My eyes soaked in his carved abdomen and chest to note the tension rippling across his impressive muscles, making me worry. He should take a break.

"Hey baby," he said, not looking up from his phone. "I

The tension tightened around us like a noose.“Ha!” Androkles' furious, bitter laugh cut the silence. “Are you being a kid right now?”“Stick a pin,” Theo addressed him like a lecturer. “Actually, it’s…” He turned to Devin. His expression hardened. He hissed, “...you've got to be fucking kidding me.""All this time?" Gustav’s voice was tight with disbelief. "You knew how to destroy the damn thing while we were out here fighting for our lives?"Penn slipped behind the Beta in fear, clinging to his arm as she peered over his shoulder.“You bloody fool!” Devin retorted at Jason, shielding his mate.“Look at her!” Jason fired back, pointing angrily at him. “She's bending her neck over mission impossible, and you want me to stay silent?”“It's fucking complicated, and you know it,” Devin chided, still refusing to spill.Valen, Gustav, Androkles, and Figaro's eyes flashed red, their wolves barely re

    VALEN’S POV“Rauk!” Zuzu swooped down out of nowhere. Her feathers turned to savage red flames, and she attacked the third tendril before it could ever slam into me.Fueled by rage, I tensed my body and forced the churning power in my core to build to its breaking point. A turbulent growl resonated at the base of my throat as the power inside me roared outward in one vicious explosion, billowing the black, smoky binds away and tearing me free.I scrambled to my feet as Zuzu expanded in phoenix form. She spread herself over me, coating my body in her flames like a second skin, and all my lacerations began to heal.Amplified power coursed inside me. Her fiery head rose above mine with a sharp screech while I worked fast.I raised my hands, palms facing each other, and a whirling sphere of violet mana formed between them. I pulled my hands back to my chest, then thrust them forward at the rift.The sphere ripped away from my palms into a violent streak of violet power and slammed into th

    VALEN’S POVThe presaging rift pulsed with a hot haze. Each time it contracted, it thrummed, then expanded, stretching itself wider.“I’m sorry I didn’t wake you, but I couldn't sleep.” Raina hyperventilated, rushing her words. “I came here to try at the medallion again, and it just started acting up.”Her hands pressed against my chest as I kept her flushed against me.The way she shook in fear grated against my beast, provoking Zeus. We disliked that the rift had frightened her.My gaze snapped back to her, and I raised my hand to caress the side of her head, trying to calm her as Zeus demanded retaliation.Her face tightened, her eyes horror-struck. “When I struck it with the sword, a backlash wave burst from it. Then that appeared. It was tiny at first, but it's growing, Valen.”“Get behind me. Now!” I shoved her behind my back and spread my hands wide. Instantly, power surged through me, lighting up my palms in a spinning sphere of violet mana. “Stay back.”I approached the rift,

    VALEN’S POVGustav, Androkles, and Figaro were standing around the messy island, picking from several food items that they had sprawled across the counter. They were stacking their plates like they were having an eating contest.Agitated, I stood in the entry archway and crossed my arms. I clenched my jaw as I surveyed the disaster. They were worse than rats, and if I left my kitchen up to them, I would soon have cockroaches.I inhaled slowly through my nose."Hey, you three, my counter isn't your feeding trough.” I kept my voice low and controlled. “If you can't eat like a decent person, don't come here at all."They turned their heads my way and exchanged mocking glances before going back to their food fest.Cupboards were unnecessarily left open. Even the pantry door was left ajar. There were open jars and containers, and cookie bags, and worst of all, the pizza I got specifically for Raina was missing slices.Drawing in a long breath, I pressed my lips into a hard line and forced t

    VALEN’S POVUnder the moonless night sky, I found Raina in the middle of an intense sword session.I plodded across the grassy ground and went up behind her. I grasped the blade of the sword. She swung around, and I stared down at her with a frown.Raina’s electric blues locked on mine, rounding in surprise, her chest heaving.A growl rose in my chest. I locked my jaw and forced it down before I said something I’d later regret.Look at what she’s been doing to herself again, pushing herself too hard when her body can’t handle the stress. Her sweat-drenched clothes and heavy breathing rang alarms in my head. She’d been relentlessly at it, out here in the dark trying to smash the medallion.“She hurt herself,” Zeus cut in.‘Well aware,’ I grumbled.Raina’s parted lips loosened a startled breath. Then her eyes sparkled with joy, and her face lit up. “You’re back!”“Don’t ‘you’re back’ me, Raina,” I chided, my voice trembling with both fury and worry. My fingers squeezed around the blade

    RAINA’S POVI stood in the uncanny mist, feeling its cool dampness settle over my clothes. It swirled with every movement, then clung to me like a shadow., and here we were debating. pointlessly.“Would you care about me entering the temple if it were your wolf about to wind up as a swiny rogue?” I asked Elder Jacob, keeping the bite out of my voice.The old man was grumbling as he fumbled with the keys to open the temple doors. “Why isn't the medallion destroyed yet, huh? Blasted woman promised to get rid of it, but look at where that's gotten us. Should never have listened to her. But does anyone listen to me? No, Jacob. They don't.”“The mist has a wolfsbane scent to it. I don't want to take any chances with it. So, yes, I will let her try whatever she wants. As long as the stone does not leave the temple,” Elder Victor, the primary temple custodian, stated, standing beside my scowling Gamma.Nyx solidified behind me. Being protective, his large white head was right above mine.“Now
