All Chapters of Last Female Sypher and Her Brother's Friends: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

AriaThe old man approaches as though he already knows he's won.Like he knows that's all I have left in me.I grit my teeth, allowing him to believe it. Fire builds beneath my skin.The vines tighten, my skin turns white around the edges from the pressure of it.The old man stops a few feet away.“Come on,” he says. “Show me. What you're capable of. Or would you rather watch your mate die?”Rage explodes inside me.I think of the Assembly.Of every person they've hurt.Of my mother.The fire inside me becomes an inferno, a burn so hot it locks across my skin. The vines begin smoking. Flames erupt from my entire body, and the vines explode apart.A shockwave of heat tears across the clearing.Several nearby trees burst into flames.The old man finally looks impressed.I don't give him time to react.I charge.Fire streams behind me like two twin dragons weaving and pocketing towards their prey.He stomps his foot, and the earth rises between us.I blast through it.Dirt, roots, and sm

Kade“We need to keep the sick members away from our healthy children, elderly, and pregnant females,” Elliot inputs.“We’ll divide and conquer. We’ll move the most vulnerable into the east upper wings furthest from the imnifrmary,” says Aria.Eliiot crosses his arms over his chest. “Good. I’ll take point and work with the other alphas to move the people around.”Within an hour, teams are assembled.I lead the investigation group. We start by testing the water from the springs, the water we bathe with, and the underground stores we keep. Juno’s sister joins us to run a simple test to determine if they are clean. The food stores are along more complicated. Every grain and cut of meet neededto be accounted for, who took the better part of the afternoon and early evening. The saving grace is that the produce grown in the garden is guaranteed to be clean because of being separate for everything else.While we are waiting for the results of the last of the game, I broach the topic that has

LiamHazel steps up to me and takes the metal gloves off my claws. “Well now all that let is for Felix and I to do our thing.”“And then I'll be a super wolf,” I joke.“No, but you will be a hot one,” Felix laughs.“We're going to work on infusing Aria's fire into the metal,” Hazel says.I whistle softly. “Good luck with that.”“Thanks for the confidence,” she teases.“You're welcome. You'll need it.”Hazel sticks her tongue out at me. I want to bite it, to play and suck and lick at it.From the glimmer in her eyes she knows exactly what I'm thinking.The minx.Hazel and Felix gather their notes and books. “We should have something ready tomorrow,” Hazel says."We’re done for today?’Hazel smirks. “With this yeah. Ransom and I signed up for the next roofing shift and were going to go do that.”“l join you,”Elliot says.“Yeah that sounds like a good time.” I say.Hazel rolls her pretty jade eyes at me. “Do you really think we don't know you're just tryna push up on us in some weird mal

RonanFor the next hour, I answer questions without giving anything away. It's a balancing act. Give enough information to maintain trust while holding back enough to protect what matters.By the time the meeting finally ends, my head is pounding, and my wolf is pissy because all he wants to do is act.Goodbyes are exchanged, and the males return to their respective duties.“If you need me, I’ll be down in the forge,” Elliot says.“Don't slow Ransom down,” I joke.“I can't help that I'm irresistible. Really, do you expect him to do the impossible?” he laughs as he heads out.I shake my head at the male and stand to go check on Barric in the infirmary recovery room. He was responding well to the treatment, which took a lot of tension off our band.I move through the halls quickly, trying my best to avoid being stopped. It works somewhat. I'm stopped twice by two pack members, but otherwise it is a straight shot to the room.The recovery wing is considerably quieter when I enter. The sc

AriaRick shakes his head. “I’m saying that shoifters spend too much time thinking of themselves as separate from everything else in this world. Humans, Nature, hell, even packs feel the need to distinguish themselves from their kin. On the one hand, I understand it, but it wasn’t until I started looking deeper that I truly began to understand my power, what makes me stronger, and what makes me weak. It is the most important lesson every Sypher has to learn.” He looks into my eyes, holding them with a weight. “We are, first and foremost, the balance of this world. The connection between essence and flesh.”I lean forward, heart in my throat as his words take root beneath my ribcage. All of my unanswered questions seem to linger on his next words.“You don't command fire, you nurture it, mold it, use it to seek justice and retribution for those who seek to destroy the balance we, by our very existence, are born to protect.”“That sounds like a lot of pressure,” I say uneasily.Rick giv
