Mag-log inElijahIf someone had told me a vampire would be on my property, I would have laughed my head off.But there was Vladimir, making himself as comfortable as he could in my living room while talking to Emmett as calmly as possible. Nalia was watching him like a hawk, and I didn’t blame her. My friend was in total and complete shock.And the commotion was so great that everyone showed up, even Gibran.“Are Nalia and the vampire prince really mates?” Gibran asked in a hushed whisper, and I nodded. “That’s incredible… I’d heard of inter-species mates in the past, but I suppose that, due to isolation and the division of territories, it stopped being common, though there are cases where hybridization has been maintained for generations, as is the case with your mother.”That made me sigh.I knew all too well about hybridization, about powers and their consequences.The war between species broke out precisely because of that, and that was why I was isolated from the rest of the wolf territori
EloiseAny tension that had been in that office multiplied a thousandfold.The king looked at his son in bewilderment, then looked at Nalia as if studying a wild animal and went on guard. That wasn’t a good sign. Not a good one at all, which is why I stepped forward.“Your Majesty,” I said immediately.The king looked at me, and I saw a flash of surprise in his eyes.An unmistakable sign that the man genuinely believed I was dead.“You’re alive,” the king said in surprise, then looked at Elijah, his eyes widening in disbelief, then he frowned in disgust. “And you brought the Dark Alpha with you… And you’ve bonded.”“Yes,” I said without fear.“Your father—”“My father spoke to me in a dream to tell me he had been wrong,” I said without fear. “He knows what he did and regrets it. And, even if he doesn’t believe me, he has blessed my union with Elijah.”The vampire king looked at me as if I’d grown two heads.“Marcus spoke to you in a dream?” the man asked in surprise.“Yes,” I said sad
EloiseThe scene was a picture-perfect moment.Vladimir seemed completely spellbound by Nalia; he looked at her as if she were a treasure, and that didn’t surprise me given the rumors about him—this was confirmation of them. However, that wasn’t the most striking thing about the scene; it was the fact that Nalia’s tension could be felt throughout the room, like a suffocating scent.The guardian vampires were clenching their fists at her scent, and their eyes were darkening. My friend was oblivious to this; she was serious, with tension on her forehead, and the flares of her nostrils were opening and closing rapidly.It was clear that, just like the vampires, she was struggling with the unfamiliar scent.I could understand her; the metallic scent of vampires, a unique characteristic of the species, was insane. The nuances of that scent varied from person to person, but they were distinct, especially in pureblood vampires like Vladimir.Nalia looked like she was about to explode, and Vl
Eloise“Do you think everything will work out tomorrow?” I asked Elijah before we went to bed.My mate looked completely tense, but he looked at me calmly.That in itself was a huge step forward.“I hope so, but I’m afraid not. We don’t have time, and I don’t know if Grace has the device she said she’d create ready,” Elijah said with a frown. “I trust her blindly, but I’ve learned that putting her to work under a lot of pressure turns out to be crazy. It’s better when she takes her time; her spells become infallible.”And that scared me, yet we slept peacefully.The next morning, the sun streamed brightly through the window.That wasn’t normal, especially since it was still spring, so Elijah got up in a hurry and opened the windows. Then he smiled like a child who had found something wonderful.That made me get up and go over to him.“What’s going on?” I asked before yawning.“A solar halo,” Elijah said excitedly. “The change of season has finally arrived.”“Aren’t we just starting sp
EloiseEveryone looked at me with expressions ranging from astonishment to bewilderment.I knew that the old story had taken root in our species’ collective imagination, but I was still surprised by how shocked everyone was at the mere mention of vampires. They, just like us, were simply a race that wanted to live in peace.The circumstances of the ancient, great war were something that had not only evolved but had completely mutated.Wolves and vampires were no longer what they once were: primitive beings.“Isn’t what you’re saying a lie?” Keren asked with genuine surprise, and I frowned.“No,” I said immediately. “The vampire king is a truly open-minded man and a good leader. My father’s communications with him revealed this, and I know he has something that might help us with the migrants.”“What?” everyone asked at once.“Technology we don’t have,” I said honestly. “The Wolf Council refused to buy that technology before, but right now I feel it’s important to maintain direct commu
ElijahSeeing the baby was like a piece of the puzzle finally falling into place.Nothing was the same, but there, with my mate and our baby, everything was perfect, and I realized that this was the meaning of life itself. It was a clear reminder of why I should fight, why I shouldn’t give up, and why I must gather my strength.“You’ll be an incredible mother, Eloise, I know it,” Emmett said with such pride that I didn’t doubt it.“You’ll be the best mother of all,” I said firmly.I saw the fear in Eloise’s eyes.And it was normal to see it, because I felt fear too.Not because I thought I couldn’t really be a good father, but because I felt anxious about not having the tools to protect and care for my people, especially my baby. I kissed my wife on the forehead again.“I hope all this works out,” Eloise said calmly, but I could hear the tremor in her voice.My mate was supposed to have a peaceful pregnancy, full of peace and calm, but now she was not only surrounded by enemies who w
EloiseI woke up to the sound of a heart rate monitor and the strong smell of bleach and hospital disinfectant. I opened my eyes slowly, and the white light blinded me for a moment, but I knew exactly where I was.I looked around and saw that I was in a private hospital room. To my right, with his
EloiseElijah screamed and created a dark shield that deflected the power.That made me gasp, and I held my brother even tighter.“Don’t you dare attack my wife, you damn bastard,” my mate snapped angrily as shadows poured out of his body.That struck me deep, as if something in my soul was finally
EloiseI smiled before looking up at the sky and thanking the gods.“You’re right, Mom and Dad are watching over us,” I said immediately, my heart swelling with warmth.I wiped away my tears right away and just squeezed Emmett’s hand as we continued on our way. Surprisingly, I realized immediately
EloiseFear was no good advisor.And it was starting to consume me in such a terrible way that my heart was racing. It was complete and utter madness.However, fear had taught me that it was a feeling that made you react in many ways, and so you were left with only two options: let the terror consu
