Gabriella“Do you really think this is a good idea?” Lucienne was worried about the pack and Gabriella could understand why, but she had to save her friend, didn’t she? Besides, they had witches and a demi-god on their side, but he wanted to know if giving more lives just to save one was worth it. She understood where he was coming from. They didn’t even know if Zion was still alive, and could she really ask her pack to fight and possibly give up their lives or the lives of their loved ones just so they could save her friend?She had to think about this more. It was one of those impossible decisions she had to make as the alpha of the pack. She knew her pack would fight if she asked, but did she even have the right to ask them this? Walking through the forest, she tried to think of another way to get Zion back without any of her pack had to put their lives in danger, but this was a dog-eat-dog world they lived in. Killing and dying were part of who they were.In the end, she had no ot
Gabriella Melody portaled them into the first room and they looked around quickly before moving on to the next. Lucienne was leading a search party on the floor below them and Matthew was leading a group on the ground floor while their pack was busy setting off all sorts of explosions just outside the wall of the so-called castle. With each room they checked, Gabriella realized more and more that there were clearly no females in this awful place! She was growing more nervous by the minute that they wouldn’t find Zion, and if they didn’t … Melody told her not to think like that and Gabriella realized she had actually said it out loud. They portaled into the last room and Gabriella’s heart broke. She had hoped they would be the ones to find Zion. Melody looked around the room for a moment before opening the portal again and they stepped through right into the living room of Melody’s parents’ home. Her mom was waiting in anticipation and her face fell for a moment when Melody shook her
GabriellaThey were all sitting in Melody’s parents’ living room discussing where Zion could be when they heard a ruckus from outside. As they piled out of the door, they found the magical guard shoving and pushing people around the camp while ordering them all to pack. Eli was at the head of his group of men and his attention turned to them instantly.“Your pack has been banned from the homelands.” Eli frowned as if he didn’t entirely agree with the decision, but he didn’t say anything. Gabriella grabbed Melody as she pushed past Gabriella, probably on her way to telling Eli his fortune. Eli looked sadly at Melody before something sparked in his eyes. He asked if they could talk privately and reminded Gabriella that they had to leave the homelands.Gabriella didn’t like Eli talking to her friend privately, but only because she hated herself for putting her friend through all of this in the first place.They went upstairs to pack and as soon as she heard Melody next door, she went to
GabriellaGabriella stood on the balcony looking out at the forest below. There was something unholy brewing in the air, so much so that she could feel it. She wondered why the king suddenly felt this need to kill all of them and then she wondered who made the final decision that they should leave the homelands. It made sense, the wedding was off, but she never imagined that the magical people would just chase someone away. Something told her that the king had something to do with it, and she sighed.She was tired after a day of meetings with her elder council and some of the neighbouring alphas. It seemed her neighbours were divided about believing her. Even if she could show them proof, she was sure that those who were on the side of the king would stay on his side even when he came for their packs. She had moved back from the city just in time for a damn war, and the thought sparked an idea. Lucienne had just brought some coffee when she grabbed the mug, planted a kiss on his cheek
GabriellaGabriella paced her office trying to figure out what to do next. Thankfully, most of the alphas they spoke to believed what they were telling them. She was just so damn concerned about what Melody might do because of her parents. She really didn’t want to see her dear friend or her family hurt in the middle of this fight. Then there was also Zion. Where the hell had she disappeared?! Gabriella wouldn’t dare to say it out loud, but she was convinced it was just another one of the King’s ways of showing her pack that he could do whatever the hell he wanted and they couldn’t do anything about it. Well, she was going to show him!The Wolf King had made his first really big move and the stories about the homelands quickly spread. Before Gabriella could catch her breath, people from all walks of the supernatural world started pouring into her territory and they had to let them in. The stories people had to tell were just horrific! It seemed as though the word was spreading that he
GabriellaGabriella’s heart was pounding as she paced up and down the length of her bedroom. The council had voted that she should lead the war against the Wolf King. What the hell did she know about war? She had barely returned when everything in her life was turned upside down!“Hey, hey, hey.” Lucienne walked in and stopped her halfway through her stomping process. “What’s going on?” He frowned and she glared at him as if he should know by now what she was thinking. Their power could tell them all sorts of things, but it couldn’t always tell them people’s deepest, darkest thoughts. Or it might be if Gabriella had actually practiced. She sighed as she realized her thoughts were running away and Lucienne was still looking at her in anticipation of an answer.“I’m not equipped for this. I don’t have any war experience. I’ve only ever heard about the fights my parents had with rogues.” Her arms flew through the air as she sighed. “I don’t even think my parents ever fought a war!” She f
GabriellaMelody let her friends know that Eli was suspicious of her return, but at least her parents were safe. The soldiers took many of her parent’s friends prisoner, but Eli must have felt something for them because her mother explained that he made sure they were safe. Eli clearly still had feelings for Melody. What those feelings were, on the other hand, remained a mystery.Matthew, on the other hand, wasn’t doing that great to infiltrate the Wolf King’s men. They were a pretty tight group and he was beaten up pretty badly. To make sure they didn’t kill him, Gabriella ordered him to meet them at the border to the homelands. They could use every man they had. As soon as they were all a little rested after their move from the pack grounds, Gabriella couldn’t see why they should waste any more time.The Wolf KingIt wasn’t a surprise to hear that that damn female got an army together and was now just outside his border. He was standing in the old king’s war room with all his adviso
GabriellaGabriella woke up with a start and it took a moment for her to realize she was in Melody’s room in Melody’s parent’s home. She flinched for a second as she sat up and felt the enormous bandage on her side. The memories of what happened rushed back and she rolled her eyes. Those damn angels! If they could hide the Wolf King, why the hell couldn’t they just heal her wounds?Why hadn’t her wound healed? The thought was awfully distressing as she got up and slowly made her way downstairs to where all the noise was coming from. Lucienne was pacing back and forth, growling terribly. Why the others around him tried to calm him down? As if feeling her presence, he looked up and rushed over. His arms carefully slipped around Gabriella and no amount of her protesting was going to stop him from carrying her over to the couch to sit down. She thanked him feeling grateful because this wound was tiring her out a lot.“Out with it?!” She ordered when all her friends kept looking at each ot
