LOGINI even thought about spending some time in the library before going to bed, but I was so tired that my eyes felt like they were about to close on their own. I don't think I realized how many things I had done that day until the kitchen was completely clean and the food was with Noah in his office.
Goddess, it was always a pleasure to stretch out and relax on that soft bed, which seemed to embrace me every time I lay
"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
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
I was in trouble.Big, big trouble.First, because the option of Prince Noah simply calling off the wedding no longer existed, apparently. Second, a few moments earlier, I had seen one of his men, the one called Atticus, leave in the direction of Alpha's house, probably to let her k
The cabin was quieter than usual when I finally managed to reach it. For a wolf with a normal sense of smell, finding the place would have been a task of only a few moments, but now I was kind of lost in my new "home" and had no idea where Prince Noah could be.
For wolves, a wedding was more than a ceremony. It was an event for the entire pack. And, more than that, a way to celebrate and thank the Goddess for what many considered her greatest blessing: the mating bond. Proof that our souls were touched by the Goddess and
“Very good, child. Now we just need to put some hairpins in your hair. Tessa, give them to me.” the older woman who was getting me ready for the wedding said, causing the teenager who had come with her to run around the room, rummaging through the vario
