LOGINNoah had touched me.
Oh, Holy Moon, saying it that way made it sound like he'd done something else entirely.
He had explored my face with his hands. Trying to guess what I looked like, even with my scars. And, even though I knew that letting him do that was nothing compared to the day he would actually see me… I still felt fear. Fear that he would be disgusted by
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
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
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
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
