As I was walking through the lobby of the hotel on my way to the dungeons to confront Julian, I ran into Fenris and Lila arguing.   “What do you mean he’s your ‘mate’?” Fenris practically shouted, followed by Lila shushing him and glancing around anxiously.   “Damn Fenris, keep your voice down, I haven’t told him yet.” Lila whispered back, though in a hotel full of werewolves, whispering was a bit redundant, we all had super hearing.   “He doesn’t know? How is that possible?”   “Because he’s a human, he may have a bit of Fae in him, but he’s still human, he doesn’t have the same signs we do.”   “You found your mate Lila? That’s great!” I exclaimed, surprising both of them as I walked up to join their little huddle. “I take it its Blake after the way you acted last night and the small bit of your conversation I overheard.”   “Eva! Oh my Goddess, I am so happy

“I can’t believe the final two are Jackson and Lee.” Lila muttered before taking a bite out of the Hawaiian pizza in her hands.   After our trip to see Julian in the dungeons and get his reasoning behind attempting to mark me without permission, we still had over an hour until the next fight took place, and thanks to werewolf stamina, we were all hungry. Deciding to get out of the hotel for a brief time we all headed out. There were dozens of restaurants close enough that we did not need to bring the cars around, and instead walked the short distance to a pizza place. Our pizzas only took twenty minutest to cook and we were sitting around a table in the coroner of the restaurant a pizza box in front of each of us while we discussed what had happened throughout the day.   Lila admitted she had been hiding, too afraid to see Blake before she had decided what she was going to do and Fenris and I filled her in on the tournament, which lead to ou

The power that flowed through me was unlike anything I had ever felt before, like lightening flashing through my veins, from my heart to my fingertips and flowing into Lee. I could feel the difference in him the moment it entered him, his pulse skipped a beat before beginning to hammer faster and faster. I focused on healing the carotid artery first, imagining my light encircling it and stitching it back together.   The flow of blood leaking between my fingers slowed before finally stopping. I wanted to heal his neck completely, but I could feel my body tiring out as the use of my magic drained me. I focused instead on his leg, closing the bleeding vessels, trying to keep as much of his blood in his body as possible. Without blood he would be unable to heal, and all of this would be for nothing. I needed him alive until Blake could get here and give him a transfusion, and perhaps heal him a bit more himself.   “What is she doing? Why is she

The attack was expected, but faster than I was prepared for. I danced out of his way, spinning back, and flipping backwards, springing off my hands and landing on my feet a distance away from a wide-eyed Jackson staring at me. “This is a fight, not a gymnastics competition.” Jackson growled, stalking forward to confront me once more. “Are you scared Jackson?” I probed him, smirking as I bend into stance again. “Of you? Never.” He lunged again, and I knew if I took the same route again, he’d see it coming, so instead I called on Sapphire’s strength and jumped up and over his head, twisting while in the air to land behind him, striking out to throw a punch into a kidney and the back of his head, then dancing away again before he could turn and deliver his own blows. When he turned to face me, I was a distance away and he looked officially pissed. If I had

“May I be the first to welcome Alpha Evangeline Dark to the table for the first time with her new title.” Alpha Lee shouted over the murmurs of the room as I moved to slide into my seat at the large round table that had been reassembled for the summit to continue.   At Lee’s words a soft round of applause filled the conference room, a few of the Alpha’s who had been on my side hooting and hollering a welcome. Laughing at their antics I waved my hands to quiet them down, laughing at the warm welcome I had not been expecting. “Thank you everyone, I am thrilled to join your ranks. Now, let’s get down to business, shall we?”   “Yes, of course.” Lee agreed, flashing me another triumphant smile before turning to face the rest of the leaders, clearing his throat before continuing. “I know we got distracted the last few days with other matters, but now we need to buckle down and bring this back around to a worldwide treaty being signed.” &nb
