LOGINEveryone there was surprised by my gesture, including Violet. Her eyes widened as I felt the temperature of her skin under my fingers, colder than I had expected.
“It’s a shame that we never managed to be real sisters, Violet.” I murmured, a genuine sorrow in my chest, despite everything “And it’s an even greater shame that you chose this path, instead of repenting and accepting the new
“I don’t like this,” Flora grumbled, when they were finally out of sight “This could be an ambush set specifically for your parents. If they aren’t protected enough…”“They… They’ll be alright.” Wayne said, but I could see the fear in his eyes, like a little boy afraid of losing his parents again “I’ve reviewed our security plans for this house with Holly’s husband a hundred times. There are over twenty soldiers just guarding the doors of this place. Unless Kent has managed to infiltrate someone even among our most trusted soldiers…” he stopped abruptly, that thought disturbing him.“Exactly.” Flora grunted “He’s involved with the deepest shadows of this world. Go to the leader of the guards and tell them to reinforce security for your parents and also for this room. Gather even more men than planned.” She banged her staff, annoyed “Hon
There was such a tightness in my chest that it was almost difficult to breathe.All around me, everything was quiet. Not just inside Kaia’s house, but also in the pack outside. It was supposed to be a sign. Proof that my vision had been useful and the battles had been concentrated on the borders, far from the underground where the most defenseless wolves were hiding. Kent’s pact could give him enough magic to teleport himself, but he couldn’t do the same with the three chimeras I foresaw roaming the forest…Right?At least, Noah thought so too. And I knew I could trust the strategies he had devised to contain those abominations. This time, he wouldn't be alone to face them. No one would be seriously injured or sacrificed.Even so, that apprehensi
I closed my eyes, hoping that attack would rip away the last of my life, but a sudden gust of air caught me off guard. I hadn't even fully opened my eyes when a whimper of pain filled my ears, making my blood run cold.No. It can't be…But, unfortunately, the scene I found before me was Kaia's body trapped inside the mouth of that thing, defenseless against what seemed like daggers piercing her flesh. The chimera shook her violently, spreading her blood around and all over me.Until it threw her aside, much further than it had thrown me, making her fall to the ground with a heavy thud.No…Mother!“Quick!” one of the sorcerers shouted “Aim you
Fighting against those things was even harder than I could remember.Although, now that I could see and know where their attacks were coming from, instead of having to rely solely on the change in wind direction, it was a less agonizing task. Fuck, I definitely hadn't thanked Holly enough for being there with me that night, however irresponsible her decision to follow me had been.If it weren't for her, warning me when to dodge or attack, I would have died before I even managed to tear off the first limb of the chimera.Three of them, together, though... It was a difficult task.It was impossible, to tell the truth. But frankly, I wasn't there to defeat them.If Kaia could escape with Cassian, that would be enough.
"Mother!" my scream echoed through the empty pack, but it was too late.She sank her teeth into Dean’s jugular with the greatest ferocity I had ever seen her use. Although that scoundrel had been responsible for most of my training during my youth, Kaia had also offered to give me some lessons over the years. It was from her that I learned that often calm and precise attacks were better than a bloody offensive. Other wolves would fully surrender to their wild nature during a battle, but not my mother.She always remained in control of her mind and body, even during war, surrounded by the cries of her fallen soldiers.But not at that moment. While attacking Dean, she seemed to possess only hatred and a desire to kill. Nothing more.I recovered from the shock quickly when he turned one of his claws toward her, managing to cut a bit of her back before she moved out of his reach, her mouth covered in his abnormally dark blood.“Kaia!” Dean laughed, delighted, touching his own neck as if s
At first, I thought I was going crazy. But then the wind moved and brought a whiff of his scent to me, even though it was still weak because of his frail condition.And when I turned around, there he was. My brother, sitting in his wheelchair, being pushed by one of the old healers, who was the only one who seemed to truly understand the gravity of what was happening there. His eyes nervously scanned the surroundings several times, clearly trembling that Kent might emerge from the shadows at any moment, but even so, he pushed Cassian towards me.“What do you think you’re doing?!” I growled “You should be underground with the rest of the pack! Do you have any idea how dangerous it is out here? Especially now…”“Especially now that I’m paralyzed?” he snorted, making me press my lips together “No, of course you wouldn’t say that. Mother’s new golden child would never disappoint her like that, even when she’s not around, would he?”“If you came all this way to argue, Cassian…” I rolled my
"Get ready, Noah! I'm going to shoot the arrow!"“I already told you…!” I growled, anger burning in my blood as I felt the wind change and moved my sword to split the arrow that was approaching my arm “Stop warning me! Do you think our enemies will have mercy on me and send a warning before trying
I was already in a bad situation. I think I would be safer trying to balance on a tightrope with a ravine below me.Perhaps it was my punishment for thinking that, for the first time in my life, things were going right. I spent a long time trembling and crying after the beating Dad gave me
For a second, Noah's parents just stood there, staring at each other. And I was absolutely certain that a fight would break out if Dean made the terrible decision to challenge our Alpha. Under normal circumstances, it should be Arthur, the one who had been offended
I always thought Noah had a lot of his mother in him, but now I realized I was very wrong. Yes, he had inherited Alpha Kaia's dark hair and eyes, but almost everything else had come from his father. The chiseled nose, the sharp features, the way he looked menacing
