“Excuse me?” His gaze snaps to mine. “You misunderstand. This is not a slight. It is a truth. Power like yours like yours requires more than strength. It requires alliance.” Jackson stiffens. “We don’t need packs. We need time.” “You do not have time,” the guardian says bluntly. “Kai will strike where you are weakest.” My heart stutters painfully. “Which is?” I ask, though something inside me already knows. The guardian’s voice lowers. “Your past.”

I knew Grams hadn’t told us everything, probably trying to protect us since there wouldn’t be much we could do to help our mate as she made her transition. “You know what to do,” I growled to all of the Guardian Knights. Gone was the flirty Vince and Cailee, replaced with warriors ready to protect their charge. Cailee hadn’t gone through Guardian Knight training as we had but I didn’t see that as a negative. She seemed to bring something else to the group none of us had, especially with her closeness to Ellie, and for that I was grateful.

“I think I could be much more valuable out there instead of here. Danielle doesn’t know me and she most certainly doesn’t trust me. I could hunt down the deabru while she’s here and—” “No,” Caius said, his tone leaving no room for arguments. “The deabru aren’t going to tell you their plans and we both know torture doesn’t work on them. Hell, half of them get off on it. You are my wild card, Balric. You’re the only one who isn’t tied down and, as I said, apparently can be around my daughter without having your instincts triggered.”

“You just made a big mistake.” “What’re you talking about?” “You didn’t see?” she blurts out and then her eyes narrow in frustration. “Of course, you wouldn’t. He’s a guardian!” “A guardian of what?” Quill steps up next to her. Kathleen is moving quickly as if desperate to get as far away as possible. “I don’t know. Guardians are very location specific. There are forest guardians, animal guardians. Guardians are different from us. They draw their power from whatever they protect. They live in isolation preferring nature over everything else. They’re incredibly strong, and you should never piss one off.”

The Council listened intently to Scarlett's plea, their eyes filled with understanding and compassion. One of the Council members, an ancient and wise Guardian named Seraphine, stepped forward. Her eyes sparkled with ancient wisdom, and her voice held a comforting tone. She assured Scarlett that Eldoria had long been aware of the darkness that threatened the world and that they were prepared to fight alongside her. Under Seraphine's guidance, Scarlett began her training once again, this time learning ancient techniques and spells that only the Guardians of Light possessed. She honed her powers, channeling the strength and resilience that had brought her this far.

“You have come at last. Are you ready to confront the reality of your fate?” I stood tall, looking the guardian directly in the eyes. “I am,” I replied, amazed at the confidence in my voice. “Show me what I must know.” What came next was a rush of information and images, filling my mind quicker than I could fully grasp. I saw the delicate relationship between the magical and ordinary worlds, and the consequences of upsetting that balance. I finally understood the real role of the Catalyst—not just to expose the magical world, but to oversee its careful, gradual merging with the ordinary world.

“Good thing I’ve been dying to hit something.” Vale turned to me, his expression unreadable. “Stay behind me.” “I can help.” “Not until you control it.” I wanted to argue, but there wasn’t time. Shadows spilled down the tunnel, lanterns flaring behind them — the Council’s enforcers, armored and silent. Their insignias gleamed: the crest of the Oath Circle. Cassian was the first to move. He lunged into the dark, his blades a blur of silver light. Malachai’s wards flared blue, forming a half-circle of runes that slowed the enemy’s advance.

Immediately after he said those words, another Rank 3 guardian appeared. It was yet another middle-aged man. However, this time, the man had a ferocious-looking wolf print on his face. On White Doll’s side, including himself, there were a total of four Rank 3 Evolved Ones. On Lucas’ side, there were Biggy and Scarlet that were Rank 3 Zombies. Four against two. No matter how one looked at it, Lucas was bound to lose. "What about now, Kid?" White Doll stared at Lucas.

The sound of horns startled Jade out of her mind, her heart beating faster, she looked at Gage his eyes were closed. “The Council has arrived.” He spoke without looking at her. “Our time is short.” “Great,” Jade said trying to sound like she would be fine. “Remember what I said take care of our son, and I will deal with Michael.” “Jade, I already told you I would take care of him. I am trying to get some help to get the magic removed from my arms, so I can get us out of here. I am not going to let you fight Michael, he is the strongest Spell-Blade we have.” Gage said with a look of concern on his face. “He is the reason we run the way we do, he is the Council’s main warrior, he was supposed

Meredith says and now I feel cheated by my own sister. "I'm disappointed, Meredith." I say playfully. "Aw, don't act like you haven't seen that coming. I am supporting you both of course!" Meredith smiles at me. "She's right. You can't support just one of you if you are a couple. That's like supporting Batman but not Robbin." Kerem says and both of the girls agree with him. "Mind your own business, you freaking dork." I say and regret it because the girls now look mad at me like I'm the devil in this room.
