บททั้งหมดของ A Goddess Gifted by Fate: บทที่ 301 - บทที่ 310

Whiskey.I stepped out of the door and onto the narrow walkway. There were more doors on either side of this one. Probably more bedrooms. It’s a little after three in the morning, so I assume everyone is sleeping, those of them that aren’t on night patrol. Opposite me was a waist high wooden railing. I stepped forward and looked over it. I could see parts of the second floor and another set of stairs that I assume lead to the first floor. I'll get to that soon. I have to clear the top floor first. I crept along the wall, keeping far enough back that I couldn’t be seen by anyone who happened to look up from the second floor. At the next door, I paused and listened. I could make out some soft snoring, and only one heartbeat. I carefully pushed open the door and stuck my head in. One person was asleep on their side, facing away from the door. I ducked in, went to the side of the bed and looked down at the sleeping being. The man was older looking. No hair on his head but had a full beard

Whiskey.I could hear footsteps approaching quickly. Only light footsteps, so either a female or maybe a child. A body came around the corner and into the doorway, without hesitation I threw the blade across the room. It hit the person in the chest and sent them tumbling backwards into the hallway. Great. Everyone is going to know I'm here now. I jumped up and over the bodies and stopped before I went through the door. Another set of footsteps were running down the hallway towards me, the owner of the footsteps was screaming out something I couldn’t translate. I stood back against the wall next to the door and waited. The person stopped at the body in the hallway before checking the room. Rookie mistake. Always check your surroundings. Assess the danger first. Confirm the kill second. It’s basic knowledge. And kind of essential. Because why this dumb idiot was checking the dead person in the hallway, I slipped through the door and plunged my other dagger into the side of his head. He

Zelena.When I woke in the morning, the bed was empty. I reached out my hand and felt the space beside me, it was cold. Gunner has been gone for a while. Panic set in immediately. He couldn’t have left without saying goodbye, he wouldn’t do that, at least I don’t believe he would. I pulled on a pair of shorts and one of Gunner’s t-shirts and raced downstairs. I checked his office first, nothing. Then I checked the hall and the library, again nothing. I pushed open the kitchen door and found Nat sitting at the bench, playing absentmindedly with her bowl of cereal.“Have you seen Gunner?” I asked her as I stepped up beside her, but she didn’t respond.“Nat, have you seen Gunner this morning?” I asked again, but still got no response. What the fuck is her problem? What have I done to warrant being ignored. I hit her on the shoulder with the back of my hand and she jumped and squealed, dropping her spoon and spinning around to glare at me,“What the fuck Lena?” she huffed and gripped at h

Zelena.I took a deep breath and reached over to take one of Smith’s hands, wrapping it in both of mine.“Smith, he answered the phone when it rang. He didn’t reach out to anyone, and he didn’t plan on betraying anyone. In a moment of weakness, he let slip that the Triple Goddess had risen. That was all. Just one phone call. There was no sinister plot and no big plan. It was just a simple mistake”.“And look at everything that came from that simple mistake. We went to war and lost more pack members. We hadn’t even healed from the last battle we were in. Gunner got infected with that dark shit and Cole went and got himself killed”“You’re angry at Cole for dying?”“Of course I fucking am! How could he just die? He was meant to grow old in this pack with Gunner and me. He was supposed to find a Mate and adopt a bunch of little pups. He was meant to be here Zelena. He was meant to be the Beta. He was meant to fucking live” Smith blurted out angrily. But that anger quickly turned to sorro

Zelena.Tobias helped to calm my nerves. His words offered a small sliver of hope, but it was enough to lift my spirits. We headed back downstairs to get more food, and then I went in search of Nat. Our little talk is way overdue. After a half attempt at checking her usual loitering spots, the movie room, kitchen, and library, with no luck in any of them, we headed out to the village to see if she was with Smith. It was mid-afternoon but the village was unusually quiet. I walked past the cabins and around the communal areas. A few pack members were out and about keeping themselves busy, but the atmosphere just felt unusually still. Each person I passed offered a warm smile and would either nod, wave or even bow. Yeah, some of them were still bowing, and I’m still so not comfortable with it. We got to the edge of the clearing where most of the visiting packs had been staying when the Alpha ceremony happened. But they were all long gone now, back to their own realities and homes, left t
