All Chapters of Awakening - Eve Of Eden: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

You saw how Eve has been feared in the pack because of her inability to control her outbursts… reign them in… learn better how to control them and your emotions. Avoid Simon for the time being if he is a trigger. Let your dad deal with him.”“I’m glad you didn’t say I was out of line for doing it… just that I should avoid him.”“I’m glad you finally realized that, despite growing up with you and being so close, he was in fact not someone you should remain tied to.” My mom's little ‘told you so’ smirk has me eyerolling a second time, but Kaelin's subtle snort-huff under his breath has me side-eyeing his sulky self. He's oozing jealousy at the mere mention of a Simon-infused past and glares away at the sideboard instead of speaking. Instant bristling posture and mood overkill on my senses. It tugs a smile from my lips, and I lean in and assault his cheek with a quick kiss.“That

A low, restless sound drifts down from the mountain above us. Something between a growl and a breath that distracts me. The kind of noise something makes when sleep begins to loosen its grip, and Kaelin’s fingers tighten around my free wrist. Seeing the way I push through the magic further, as though slicing into some stretchable glass-like wall. It ripples, and translucent colors move visually as though I dropped a stone into a clear pool.“It’s not holding me out… I can get in.” I step in without thought, and yet the second Kaelin's hand touches the wall as he moves with me, he’s shunted back with a force that sends him reeling on one foot for a second, ripping his grip from mine. He straightens up fast, recovers quickly, before yanking the back of my cloak and hauling me out again. Pulling me free from it completely.“Not a chance… not if only you can get through. You’re not getting in there without me. Not wit

“Eve!” It knocks all the courage out of me to face her this way, and I sense even Kaelin faltering behind me. Shocked at her appearance and how insane she looks up close. He is momentarily startled and gets shoved into the barrier by an energetic feral ramming him from behind, before he turns and splats it into a mist of red rain in rage.“What? Didn’t think I’d come? Of course I did….. How else am I supposed to do this?” Eve steps right into my space, knocking me off balance and rendering me momentarily dumb, as it’s not expected at all. Her hand swipes to my throat, grabbing hold with an exceptionally strong grip, and she presses on my jugular and throat with strong fingers, attempting to choke me. So fast it happens in a blink, and she squeezes enough to lock on.“Get your hands off her. I’ll fucking kill you!” Kaelin throws himself at the wall to no avail, anger rising like a hurricane, and yet he&r

I can barely breathe, light fading as she saps my energy, and yet I hold on to her arm and her chest with everything I have, as she does me. Repeating, repeating, and chanting without breaking our gaze, until my lavender glow not only envelopes me and her but the entire arc around us.Lighting us up like we’re standing under a colored sun. Wind twirling up, trees and foliage gaining speed and noise as we are cocooned into a full-blown blizzard that’s almost deafening. It seems to grow and pulsate between us and around us, dragging in other rocks, plants, and debris, and despite Eve's magic spiraling around me like a vine, trying to drag me down into the pits of darkness, I fight and hold out.Creating a tornado around us while we exist in the eye of the storm. Whipping hair, eyes blazing, and I pulsate with an inner power fueled by Leyanne’s words. Never stopping or faltering in the spell that I now see as my only hope, as my life drips away. Consciou

“The what?” Kaelin snaps before we do and is shushed with a wave of Leyanne’s hand. Still infuriatingly cool and calm despite the tension around us, the noises growing louder above, and the stifling air in here as magic works harder to contain my sister. I can feel it all unraveling.“One sister gives and one takes…it was always the way. Now the sister who takes has to relent, and the one who gives has to remove….. Eden…. You need to accept the fact that you have to take all that Eve is from within and pull it out. Her power, her misery, her magic…. You need to find it, feel it, grab it, and throw it into the vapors. Eve needs to be neutralized to save her from her own power. No gifts, no magic, no anything except an ordinary girl with normal abilities…. It’s what you were made for.”“No… I can’t.” It hits me hard in the chest and throat, like swallowing a rock, like she&rsq
