登入I know I said the last chapter would be out on Friday, but this isn't it ⊙_☉ Sorry, everyone. We're really close now, as you can tell. Just give me two more days, tops.
“He is fully in your lands. Body and soul. Although he has certainly come very close to running into me before. Tonight was one of those times, but you can rest easy.” The Goddess reassured me “It’s just the connection between you. Your soul hasn’t completely detached yet. A part of you is still there with him. Listening to him.” Her own ears perked up, as if she were encouraging me to pay attention.“Please, don’t do this to me.” I heard him again, this time more clearly “I can’t lose you too. Anything but you. Fuck, Holly, I can’t…” His voice seemed to get stuck in his throat “I once promised that not even death would be able to separate me from you. And I will keep that promise, are you listening to me? No matter where you go, I will find you. Even if you never open your eyes again… I will come to you.”“No! No, Noah!” I screamed at the sky above me “No, he can’t do this! This is not what I sacrificed myself for! Please, talk to him! Stop him!”“My ways of connecting with wolves wi
I was in a dream.I was almost completely certain of it. It was very similar to when I used to meet my mother in her wolf form. The full moon was high in the sky and the soft grass where I lay was so comfortable that I didn't even bother trying to get up. There was a strange feeling in my mind, almost hollow. I think that was what peace really meant, perhaps. I couldn't find anything else in my mind besides the desire to simply exist. Simple. Peaceful.But even so, something was wrong. I could feel it.Why couldn't I just surrender to that feeling? It was so inviting, so irresistible…“I knew it wouldn’t be so easy with you.” Someone laughed nearby “Most souls don’t even make it this far,
“What?” a murmur escaped me.“Garrett already messed me up enough finding his mate, but Elowyn of all people? A moon priestess? My plans, which included being discreet and simply using my right as second in line to the throne, have been ruined. I thought I was safe when Wayne was born with blood as sterile as his father's. But then you came along.” He snorted “A child with magic? I couldn't be patient anymore. I couldn't let them discover the power they had in their hands. It wasn't even difficult. They left me alone with you all the time. Just a few moments and you became a child with health hanging by a thread, just like I once was…”"You bastard...!" I growled, but he didn't even seem to be listening to me.“Unfortunately, even that wasn’t enough. I needed yo
"So, that was really your intention." I grunted, unable to help but look around into the darkness of the night.“Oh, don’t worry. I’ve already made sure we won’t have any interruptions.” He smiled, taking a few more steps closer “Come on, don’t look at me like that. You should be flattered that I went to so much trouble just so we could see each other. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to produce a chimera? Imagine three of them. And the potion your kind father-in-law asked me for… A price almost too high to pay for a distraction.”“Dean?” I blinked, my apprehension growing “He…?”“Don’t worry. He’s more of an emissary of mine than a threat, even if he thinks otherwise.” Kent laughed humorlessly &ldqu
“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
"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
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
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
