Calista POV.Fucking perfect timing. How the fuck did they get down here? I climb off the bed and move towards Gaia as I scoop her up and she buries her face in my chest as I walk her back towards the bed.“Calista, I don’t feel too good.” She says as her eyes roll and she goes slack in my arms. I climb onto the bed and place her flush against my chest. Grabbing the quilt, I pull it up and tuck it around us. Ignoring the looks from the three stooges, that gate crashed hell.“What are you all doing here?” as I look down at her on my chest. Her breathing is even as she sleeps.“We came to find you both. Didn’t realise you two would be having sex,” Gabriel says with a chuckle and I groan out.“Well, yes, we were, but she … she freaked out before you all came barging in here.” I snarl out as Gaia whimpers and I rub her back, purring as I do. She relaxes further on my chest.“What do you mean, she freaked out? What, couldn’t she handle you?” Leo asks with a chuckle as I growl.“Oh, she cou

Gaia POV.Walking with a purpose towards the prison that is under the palace. Hand’s grip me from behind and lifts me as I scream as I’m placed on a shoulder. Fucking Leo!“Put me down, you asshole. I have work to do.” I hit his muscular back as I pound it. He laughs as he swats my ass and I go still as I sink my teeth into his back. He winces and drops me.“You bloody savage!” I pull myself up and wipe down my clothes as I look at him with a smirk.“You only just figured that out? Look, Leo, as much as I would love to do this now. I can’t I have to go and speak to someone.” I say as I walk past him when he stops me again and I growl. He needs to move. I haven’t got time for this shit.“Let us help you. We are your mates.” I roll my eyes. He is starting to sound like a broken fucking record.“Look Leo, I know you are all my mates. I need to do this. This isn’t a game. People are in danger and I need answers from the only one who will know what is happening. I appreciate the offer, but

Gaia POV.“Aunty Sel, I need your help!” I shout as I run into the garden as she comes running from her palace. She sees me and runs closer.“What is it, Gaia? Tell me?” she takes my hands in hers as I pant for breath. I feel the walls closing in around me. What the fuck do I do? How can I stop this? How do I find her and her chosen?“Morgana, she escaped.” I say as I see anger flash across her face at my words. Her expression darkens and I gulp. Yes, I gulped. I have never seen her this angry before. I shiver as the electricity rolls around us, charging the air.“What did you find out?” I blink at her words. She knows something, but what?“I went to see Fate. She told me that Morgana will take her revenge on the mate she chose and me. That … That I die at the hands of my mates and when that happens, the Werewolf World will fall.” I tell her as goosebumps erupt on my flesh.She growls as she turns around and walks towards the pool of life. Her hands braced at the sides as she looks int

Gaia POV.What have I done? I ask myself as I sit on the shower floor; the water beating down on me, my hands shaking as I watch blood drip from my nose to my hands. I don’t have six months; I know it will happen soon. My power is fading and the answer to my problems is currently asleep in my bed.“Gaia, you need to give in completely. This is happening more and more. I think you are right, we don’t have six months. The blood moon is happening in three month’s time. I think it would be best if we just…”“Just what? Roll over? I won’t. There has to be another way, Kodiak. There has to be.” I pull my knees to my chest. Wrapping my arms around myself as I sob. The water washing away the blood and my tears.“Gaia.” I look up and see Jake. He moves towards me before he sits beside me on the shower floor. Wrapping his arms around me, pulling me onto his lap as I sob onto his shoulder.“Hey, what’s wrong?” He asks as he tries to soothe me, but I tighten my grip on him. The bond calling to hi

Jake POV.Gaia is starting to trust me and has opened up to me. I guess I see heartbreak easily. The Goddess of Hell is terrified of dying but also of being loved. I know of her childhood, what she did to when she destroyed a school and nearly killed a pup because he hit her brother.Being that age and having everyone afraid of you must have been hard. Not having friends because everyone was scared in case she blew up again. I know her family loves her but what about other’s? I think she has only been shown fear, and that is why she is the way she is.This business with her cousin and her mate, I think, just sent her over the edge. And I understand it all. Probably more than Calista does, and definitely more than Leo and Gabe will.I know she craves it. Each morning when I wake up, she is snuggled against my chest with Calista behind her. I know it’s pissing Leo and Gabe off, but they need to try harder with her. They need to be vulnerable with her, show her respect. That is the only w
