GabriellaThe second cup of tea smelled strongly of peppermint and Gabriella enjoyed it even more than the first. She was feeling groggy and the last thing she remembered was Lucienne pulling the covers over her as if tucking her in. The angel explained to Lucienne that the second cup of tea had something in it to knock Gabriella out so she wouldn’t remember the pain she was about to go through. They had to extract the darkness from her wound and he suggested to Lucienne that he shouldn’t hang around for it, but Lucienne refused to leave her side.There was a huge possibility that Gabriella wouldn’t survive the procedure and he didn’t want to leave her alone if that happened. If his mate breathed her last breath, he wanted to be right there by her side. The angel nodded as more angels entered the room. One was carrying a large ancient book. One had a golden bowl and the last was carrying a strange glass bottle.Lucienne moved out of the way and watched as they removed the covers from
GabriellaAs she slowly opened her eyes, she groaned. It felt as if she had been through the toughest training session of her entire life. Every muscle was acing down to the bone and Gabriella’s first though was that it didn’t work! Whatever the angels did … It didn’t work! Lucienne rushed to her side the moment he realized she was awake and he smiled at her.“Don’t!” She tried to sit up and he helped her.“Don’t what?” He looked confused as she sighed.“Just don’t tell me. I don’t want to hear that it didn’t work and that you don’t want me to go after the Wolf King.” She couldn’t look at him. She had failed her people and she was going to die …“Hey.” His voice was soft and his touch even softer as he turned her face so she would look at him. “It worked!” His voice was filled with excitement as he started to unbutton the side of her gown. Gabriella looked at her perfectly healed skin where there used to be a gaping black hole!“It worked!” She squealed and was about to jump him when
GabriellaIt took some time to get all the innocent people released from prison, but Gabriella knew that she had to do what she had to do if she was going to win the hearts and minds of the people from the homelands. In the end, she would need all their help to win this battle against the Wolf King. The goddess only knew what he was up to and where else he could be hiding more armies and, worst of all, how long he had been planning his takeover.So, she made sure that the people she could take care of were cared for while Lucienne and the gang tracked the Wolf King. She was healed and that was great, but she wasn’t entirely at her full strength yet, so she spent her days going through the court papers and arrest files of the people who were in prison. It was an amazing feeling when she could tell someone they were being released and then saw the look of gratitude on their family’s faces as they walked out. She was doing something to make things better.She was busy going through a fil
MelodySince Melody had fairly recently arranged a wedding, she didn’t want to go through the entire process of all the fuss again. She wanted to make it special for Matthew, but she really didn’t want a carbon copy of what she planned with Eli. They also didn’t have a lot of time to plan something incredible because she really just wanted to marry Matthew and be happy. At least, for a little while before they went to war.The girls all jumped in and helped with the arrangements, but silence fell every so often when they thought of Zion. She was still missing and there was still no news. Gabriella had sent out scouts to try and find her, but the men had come up with no trace. After the Wolf King was basically run out of town, they went back to his pack house and found some of Zion’s hair in one of the rooms. It was almost as if she was trying to give them a message that she had been there, but there was nothing else.They only knew that she was there, but they found nothing else to te
GabriellaGabriella was concerned that they might be attacked, but it soon became clear that they might just have a good day. What was the most surprising thing of all was to see Eli and his family in one of the front rows of the chamber. When the councillor came to the part where he asked if anybody present had any objections to the union, Gabriella’s attention turned to Eli, but he remained in his seat.Gabriella fought the urge to laugh as the ceremony continued and Melody and Matthew promised to love and honour each other for the rest of their lives. Gabriella had to admit that it really was a beautiful ceremony, and she stepped forward so she could officially make them part of the pack. Cutting her palm, she held it out to Melody, who did the same and as soon as their palms touched, Gabriella could feel Melody’s power flow through her.Since she had already made Matthew a pack member, that part wasn’t necessary. The time had come for the two of them to be linked and Gabriella han
GabriellaGabriella wouldn’t take the chance of telling anyone that she was going after the Wolf King. She didn’t even leave a note for fear that Lucienne would come after her. She was going to kill the Wolf King on her own without anyone else having to sacrifice their lives. She ran through the forest to the point where every muscle in her body ached right through to the bone.She had used the spell she got from one of the witches in the city just a couple of days ago to hide her scent and she was making her way closer to the human settlement. Meeting up with her two scouts that were keeping an eye on the situation, she gasped as soon as she saw Zion’s wolf in the cage. That bastard had given her friend away as if she was just some kind of animal!The humans had patrols and guns and they sounded pretty trigger-happy from what Gabriella’s scouts told her. It was a more dangerous situation than she had ever anticipated! What was worse, was the fact that the bastard had already left the
GabriellaSaving Zion was exactly what Gabriella needed. It was the good news everyone needed. She knew the Wolf King would come for them now, but she had her friend back! Jake met them just as they reached the border of the homelands. He didn’t even greet anyone as he rushed to Zion and held onto her. They couldn’t stay there all day, and Gabriella was thankful when Lucienne reminded them where they were.They shifted back into their wolf forms, but Zion was too tired to shift and Jake bent down so she could ride on his back. Making their way through the border, they didn’t take long to reach the house and everyone rushed over to greet them. Melody had a lot to say to Gabriella, but Gabriella could see that she was biting her tongue. She knew she should have at least told her friends and Lucienne where she was going, but she didn’t want anybody else getting hurt.After Zion was taken care of, they all gathered around the kitchen table and Gabriella told them exactly what she saw. Luc
GabriellaGabriella’s eyes searched the charging wolves for one wolf in particular and as soon as she found him, she charged. There was a loud clash as wolves attacked wolves and all around them, magic flew through the air. In the distance, Gabriella could see a couple of people trying to fire their guns, but they weren’t working on this side of the border and she smiled as she zoned in on the king.He had forgotten that no matter how strong he thought he was, even he couldn’t change the fact that modern-day things didn’t work on this side of the border. The magic interfered with the technology and his weapons weren’t going to help him.Gabriella came to a halt just a couple of feet away from him and her jaw snapped as she snarled. He actually stank so badly of sulfur that it burned her eyes a little. As she shook her head to try and get rid of the stench, she realized that it wasn’t just him! All of his warriors smelled like that! Gabriella’s eyes grew wider as she realized that ever
