Semua Bab Red Rover: Bab 11 - Bab 20

“Again, Nyx! You can’t just rely on your magic to fight!” Zak calls out as I spar with Brandon and Dev at the same time. I know neither of them is going full strength—we only just started this phase of training—but I’ve been working with Esteban, Zak, and Brandon for months now to build my combat skills.Ever since I came back to their… our home, I’ve been focused on making sure I can defend myself.Yes, I have a shit ton of magic. But magic can be bound, blocked, drained, or just plain interrupted. And when that happens? I need to know how to protect myself. I need to be more than just magic. I need to be a weapon.Before, I wouldn’t have cared. I had enough power to take care of myself eventually—even if it came at a cost. But I wasn’t attached to anyone back then. Not really. And if I died? Red had necromancy. I’d just be resurrected… and punished for the inconvenience.Now? Now I have people I love. People I’d do anything to protect. And I know them well enough to know that if some

“I don’t get why Nathan is so adamant about rejecting Nyx. She’s amazing! And I honestly think they’d be a great pair,” I tell Arya as we walk into the house after my training session with Zak, Brandon, and Nyx.“Well, the fact that they got re-mated tells me Selene wants them together. It’s probably tied to Hecate’s prophecy for him. I doubt he has another mate out there,” Arya says, sighing as we step into the house. She looks wrecked—been prepping that unused guest cottage all morning to house Evanora and Edward. With all the witches and Meredith returning tonight, it’s been chaos.The second we’re in, she slumps into a chair at the kitchen table like her bones gave up.I chuckle and get her a glass of water, then kneel down to start pulling off her shoes and socks. My hands rub her feet, and the moan she lets out rockets straight to my cock.Grinning, I work up her calves and push her leggings higher. “You should only make sounds like that when I’m between your legs, not at your fe

I wake up from another dream of Nyx and me—this time, we had pups of our own. She had just tucked one in, I’d handled the other. Then we went to our room and... well, I’m in the shower trying to take care of it.But it’s not working anymore.It’s been a week. A fucking week. Every day I wake up after dreaming of her. Every time I step outside, I smell her—her scent invades my nose and pulls me toward her. And every day, she rejects me. And every day... I accept.I haven’t been able to initiate the rejection again since that first time. It just—fuck, it hurts too damn much. I can’t stop wanting her. And it’s not just my wolf anymore.It’s me.Nathan Swift, alpha of the Moon Goddess Pack... I think I’m starting to have feelings for her.She’s strong. She’s kind. She’s fucking gorgeous. And she’s forgiving. Way more than I deserve.Take yesterday, for example.She’s been waiting for me outside the dorms for the last three days—ever since we figured out this little hell-loop was on repeat.

“JoJo, you can come back home. I know things are hard right now, especially with your mates, but you have to talk with them. Jacob already took back his rejection and Alexander refuses to reject you. Do you really want to spend your life feeling them—still being drawn to them?” I’m pleading, hoping she’ll understand that ignoring her mates won’t make this disappear. She has to face it. They all do.“That’s not true, Mom. I know the stories. I know how Carl broke the bond with Lauren and Richard,” she says.All three of us—me and my mates—either gasp or stare at her, dumbfounded.“Niña, ¿sabes lo difícil que va a ser para ti y para ellos?” Gael hisses out in rapid-fire Spanish, his panic breaking through.“Sí, papá. Lo sé,” she replies quietly. “I know how hard it’s going to be for me to even look at another male. How hard it’ll be to find anyone willing to be with me, knowing I have two mates out there. And especially at my age... who’s going to want to deal with that?”“So what, you’r

It’s been two days since breakfast with Nathan’s family.Two days since I found out that Nathan will only ever have one mate. Me.I still don’t know how I feel about it—so I push it aside. Refuse to think about it. It’s... a lot. And right now, it’s not something I’m ready to handle.So, I turn my attention to one of the other two pressing problems in our lives: getting everyone into the realm of the gods. We’re aiming to take down the Riding Hoods and release the gods at the same time.Because there’s no way their escape—and their link to Loviatar—isn’t tied to the disappearance of the gods. That would be way too much of a coincidence.The other witches came back yesterday morning by plane. It was so good seeing everyone again—especially Bella, Gregory, and Jamal. I’ve missed them.“Tell us what’s been going on,” Bella says as I step into their house for dinner.“Well, you know about the scrying for the rest of the Riding Hoods—” I start, but Gregory immediately cuts me off.“Girl, we
