“We’re leaving. Let’s go,” Grayson disrupts our moment. Charming couldn’t take his eyes off Sophia, and Theia lay in my arms. My gaze flickers to Grayson, confused.
“Not that I’m going to miss this place, but why so soon? Are we returning to the Warrior Pack?” I ask. Grayson shrugs.
“No. We need to look into this Prophesy, and by doing that, we will first need answers from the Oracle – who resides in the forest of the Fae,” Grayson explains and turns to leave. I crease my brows.
“Are we teleporting?” I can’t help but ask Sophia. I can’t warp there since I’ve never travelled so far, and also because Theia won’t survive in that spaceless place, and I refuse t
We arrive at the Fae lands, and to say I’m in awe is a severe understatement. The fiery night skies have ascended, and the crimson moon bleeds through the foggy black clouds drifted softly across it. It looks chaotic but enthralling.I’m ready to rest, but the sight of these lands’ strip me out of my state of drowsiness. I have never witnessed trees so huge; they are ten times the size of a normal-sized tree and rage in different colours, too. Blue, pink, purple, yellow, red – they all glow so beautifully in the blackness.The tree leaves dance and sways in the soft, cool breeze shining their lights over the sleeping creatures huddled in the lengthly grass and over the lake as toads hop out and disappear a moment later.One tree is l
Jaxson's first love? I didn't expect that. From what I felt during the mate bond, I didn't think he felt such things – not even for me. We may have a bond, and he may be very protective of me, but that doesn't guarantee he will eventually come to love me.Honestly, I would never entertain such an absurd notion. I shouldn't exist in this world or any world. No one can love something damaged beyond repair; I definitely can't for myself.Still, I can't deny there is something inside me aroused with jealousy for this Oracle.She was fortunate to feel his love - Jaxson is a good man. I accept that now, wholeheartedly. There is no false expression nor dark intent behind his promises. He will protect me as an obligation to Selene, who gifted me to him and vice ver
"Here, you should eat," I hand Jaxson a deers body. He leant against a tree, his eyes closed, seemingly sleeping – but I know he isn't. I can't help but admire him under the Moons glow.He looks beautiful.Slight stubble brushes against his razor-sharp jaw, a shadow casts over one side of his handsome features, an angry breeze sweeps past us, its cold touch curls around us, but Jaxson remains unmoving – calm.He hasn't spoken to me much. We had to travel to the lost realm on foot, as we couldn't warp there because we didn't know where Selene's tomb lies. And, if Selene shows me the path, she won't reach us if we no longer existed on any plane.Jaxson opens his eyes, pale eyes boring into m
I watch Fenrir, with a similar expression of 'awe' and 'shock.' I've never seen a wolf so large; he can crush another with a single paw.What the hell is he? A wolf that big isn't even considered a wolf.His eyes are dark mercury, boring into mine searching for something, what?My thoughts freeze when something wet and slimly drizzles onto my shoulder. A deep, heavy breath that sounds like slobbering echoes behind me. I almost vomit from the stench of its breath, my stomach curling uncomfortably.I can feel my nose hairs burning.Lifting my gaze slightly, I lock eyes with the yellow, menacing eyes of a large Goblin. Its wrists, neck, nose,
The moment Kyro is gone, Jaxson twirls me around forcefully. Before I can even register what had occurred, his lips slam down onto my own in a desperate heat of passion.Something is consuming about this one kiss, something that leaves me breathless as his tongue battles mine in a greedy crusade.As his fingers dig into my hips to pull me impossibly closer, a gentle sigh escapes my lips. As his one hand curls through the locks of my white hair, he deepens the kiss until I'm breathless.I'm shocked when he pulls away and settles his forehead against mine. We're breathing heavily for a moment, from the intensity of the kiss, the sparks that still trickle along my lips, "don't leave me, Nieve."I'm
I stay silent, refusing to give Freya a reaction. Maybe this is her idea of a joke. To find some way to break my defences, but I'm going to satisfy her.Her cold, menacing eyes cut through mine.This moment feels familiar.One creature against another. We glare at each other with a powerful aura of submission thickening in the air around us.Before I know it, we're in an intense power-struggle that breathes life into my soul, screaming to win. Only I wish I can say it's easy.She's too powerful.Unlike Kyro, this woman's gaze burns with only evil.
3rd POV. The crimson skies bleed in the form of soft, delicate raindrops. The forest immerses in an anxious breath, scarred by Freya's lingering touch.Jaxson watches Valerie huddle into herself. Her body shivers so intensely that her cells cry for rest.In Jaxson's long lifetime, he stands over her, powerless. He can't understand the situation, or what is happening to his precious mate? Crystals cling to her body. Her once entirely creamy-white complexion paints dark red, almost blue.If he doesn't act soon, she'll die!He doesn't hesitate when his large arms curls around her small-figure, ignoring the scorching burn sizzling along his skin.
"Are you sure this is wise, Brother?" Grayson sighs. Valerie, Sophia, Dylan, Jaxson, and even Theia rowed along a cerise ocean. The air rang with an eerie silence, and fog slithered across the sea in soft, concise strokes.Grayson's words break them from the silence hanging in the atmosphere for the better half of two hours. They'd have warped across the river, but none have been to the deadly island enough times to reach it. In Jaxson's long life, he has only ever visited once."No. But it is the only option," Jaxson grumbles, Theia's small body huddled between the two large males, her arms wound around Jaxson's leg as his body comforted her from the cold, harsh breeze stinging the air.They had no choice but to bring her, as she threatened to follow them some w
