All Chapters of Last Female Sypher and Her Brother's Friends: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

AriaI held up my hands, letting Barric remove my shirt, followed by my jeans. I frown at the stiff cakey feeling of the garment peeling away from my skin.The adrenaline of the battle had finally worn off, and now I felt like a sack emptied of its contents.Hollow. Deflated. Cavernous.The image of my mother plunging the ice blade into her chest replays in my mind.The way she looked at me. The sickening bubble of blood that spilled from her lips.The crumble of her body.It all danced around in my mind, mixing with every screaming match, every slammed door, every vicious word that we’d ever spoken to each other.Barric’s calloused hand presses against my back, and I’m brought back to the present.“Hey,” he says, his tone commanding, “I don’t want you to think of anything.”“You're asking for a lot,” I reply as he guides me into the water.I groan as the delicious heat both soothes and stings my sore, pulsing body. The water laps at the swell of my breast, and I turn to face Barric.

LiamRonan tips his head to the side, indicating that we should give the females some more space.No. My wolf protests. We need to stay near our mate. She needs us.God's the big beast has been chatty since we recognized Hazel.I ignore him, stepping into the mountain with Kade, Theo, and Barric.My wolf snarls, unhappy with the distance we're putting between us.I look around the hall, and no one seems adamant about moving further. I hate to say, but all my judgment on how needy the males got if my sister got too far from them is starting to make sense. We’re not even bonded, and I can already feel this…pull towards her. It's like my skin gets too tight when she's far away, and I have this urgency to make it right by being close to her.“So…are we going to talk about it?” Ronan asks.I look at him, distantly aware I’ve been staring in the direction where Hazel sat with Aria.“Right.” I pull my mind back to our current predicament with the Assembly. “I think we should spend our time r

KadeI settle deeper into the chair, the wood creaking beneath my weight as chaos swirls around the table.We’ve been in this fucking meeting for two hours already. We went through the drawn-out acknowledgements of respect and pledges of allegiance, we talked over the things we saw at the battle, and we even came to a pretty smooth agreement to relocate all the other packs to the mountain.It is the only sensible move. The mountain has the best natural positioning and defense systems we could ask for. With an impenetrable fortress ready to host more, the other Alphas would be idiots to pass up on this opportunity to keep their packs safe while we head into war.Aria sits beside me, close enough that her warmth bleeds into my side. My fingers lace through hers beneath the table, grounding myself as much as grounding her.She squeezes once.A silent reassurance.Or maybe a silent plea.Hard to tell lately. With everything that has happened, it’s taking her time to work through the feeli

Aria“Fuck,” someone mutters.Double fuck, my wolf agrees.The assembly is handing the Hunters everything they need to eradicate the shifter species.I wonder what their true plans are.I second my wolf. The assembly has to be planning something equally manipulative. Aldren's hate for humans runs too deep to be tempered.“So they are using magic to create weapons?” Liam ventures a gaze fixed on Hazel.What the hell is wrong with him? He's been acting strange for a few days now.Did something happen between Hazel and him?“They created several of them. They needed to. Neither wolves nor humans could hold the magic otherwise, so they made the weapons into a sort of conduit,” Hazel notes.“What kind of effects should we look out for?” Ronan asks.The lines of his face are tight, troubled. Our bond is electric with the concerns of my mates.“There are poisonous arrows, blades that could freeze your limbs, and if the cut is big enough, it will, in case it is in ice, there are also sound bo

LiamRonan paces around the long wooden table while everyone talks over each other.Hazel stands near the center, hands braced against the tabletop, eyes bright with that dangerous kind of excitement that makes my wolf want to rub against her. Aria is right beside her looking more lively then she has since the battle.We need to watch her, my wolf says, she still has a thirst for revenge. Can’t blame her but don’t worry we can keep an eye on it. “Do you really think you can do it?” Ronan asks.Hazel shrugs looking at her cousin. He gives her a look I can’t read. “Sure we can, assuming you’ll be prepared to use them. I know shifters prefer to fight with their biological weapons.”“We’ll adapt,” Barric asserts. “This isn’t about honor. It’s about survival and we will do whatever it takes to save our packs and remove those who threaten us.”She taps her fingers on the desk. “Fine. I’ll need to get the formulas I stashed, but it can be done. I will do it.”Felix grunts from where he sit
