James All hell had broken loss in the cavern. Thank Goddess I was still technically on drugs or I may have felt the situation completely overwhelming. Marcus was bleeding badly but as a vampire he would live, but he was down. Sage had just vanished, I knew her better then to assume she had just bolted. Ben was doing most the damage having shifted first. My eyes were locked on Gigi as I pulled myself to my feet. She wasn’t looking at anything happening in the room instead she had both feet planted against the black raised dish Emilio had placed her blood in. Holding her bleeding wrist tightly against her chest, in an effort to reduce the blood loss as it ran down her arm and hit the dirt beneath her. She braced herself again in vain against the black marble column. I could see the effort on her face, as I stumbled towards her holding my ribs. I had made it more than a few steps when I spotted Emilio, he had moved to where Maria was. She regained some sort of awareness and was fighting

Gigi I pushed with all my damn might, Maria’s screams ringing in my ears. Sasha’s words on repeat, “smash anything shiny” The basin on the plinth wobbled and the momentum allowed me to keep pushing. It fell to the compact stone and clay floor with a massive crash. Shiny polished black obsidian pieces of the bowl splintered and shattered instantly. The contents spilled and bubbled like a quickly spreading oil across the floor. It pooled at my feet, the starnge dark liquid staining my skin. I pulled myself away from the offending liquid, but I wasn’t fast enough and it pooled around me. The horrible aura that had engulfed Don Emilio paused from his terrible act and turned its attention to me. The creepy ghostly red eyes of the panther spirit hoovering over Emilio’s now blank features snapped towards me. Whatever now inhibited the Don’s body was not human and it was not impressed with me. The liquid touching my skin began to glow and change in its own

JamesMy soul left my body when Gigi, swung her leg tossing Don Emilio onto his back. He was briefly stunned as my mate then moved quickly straddling him to the dusty ground and pinning him under her body weight. I was a warrior long enough to know that something was different about the way Gigi moved but there was only so many times she would have the momentum over Don Emilio. She had a feral determination now. She swung her arm and something glinted in the air as it sliced across the fallen Don’s face. For the first time since this whole ordeal began I saw a flash of fear there. He cried out, the shard I could see now in Gigi’s hand covered with his blood. Blood that now dripped from the piece she welded. He roared and tossed her back and she was flung like a rag doll into the stone alter behind her. Maria cried out for her sister and Gigi fought against the power of the collision to stay awake. I could see the wobble of her body as she willed herself not to pass out against the pai

Emmett.We had just endured a significant rogue attack and now the palace was in relative peace but I couldn’t find one ranking wolf here that wasn’t acting all cagey and shit. I might have retired as the damn King but I wasn’t completely oblate. I had gone with Adam to check in on his son who had been injured expecting to find, Ash, Ben and Eoin at the very least huddled in the room with him. Those four had been inseparable since they were toddlers. Christ trying to raise them in different houses had been hard enough, their bond was so fierce. Even the addition of mates and duty hadn’t divided them, much like my own life long friend who stood next to me staring at the empty hospital room.“What the fuck?” Adam growled. “he was told to rest.”A smirk tugged at my lips as I went back out into the corridor, heading towards Dr Tellers office. The old pack doctor knew more about this pack and all of us then I cared to imagine. He would know where our idiot sons were and why the ranking wo
