Gideon Novelas e Histórias

The only thing keeping Alexandro grounded was the relentless pursuit of truth. Before he set sail again to search the eastern waters, he knew he had to learn everything he could. He had a name now—Maeron. A shadow of myth. A phantom whispered of in fear. If he was going to tear through the ocean to retrieve his wife, he needed to know who, or what, he was up against.

He pulls me in for a hug and without hesitation, I wrap my hands around his waist. "What happened?" Elijah asked letting go of my shoulder and cupping my face with his warm hand. "I was attacked by some men... Rogues" I whispered looking over his shoulder thinking they might be lurking around. "Do you know what they look like" The king asked, his eyes darkening and his jaw clenched. "No," I said shaking my head. "But he told me to tell you that's his back" "And what's his name?" "Derrick.. Derrick wright."

He spins the laptop so we can see the screen. Grainy CCTV from a fuel station two blocks away. Timestamp: 01:12. A black SUV pulls in. Driver stays inside. Passenger steps out—tall, charcoal suit, hair parted in the middle. Gideon. He buys nothing. Just stands under the fluorescent lights for ninety seconds—face clearly visible—then gets back in. The SUV leaves. “He’s showing us he’s here,” Zara says. “He wants us to know.” Leo doesn’t turn from the window. “He’s baiting us.”

- You are at the gates of the moon goddess' kingdom. If this is the Goddess Kingdom, I must have died. - Who are you? - I'm Hades, and I'm the king of hell. I shudder. - What do you want from me? - I come to get you. You don't deserve to be here. Your place is in hell. But rejoice, Your beloved son, Jackson, is there too.

He has to be harsh to someone who was once his best friend. Shane gets on his cell and within minutes the door to our SUV opens and Adrian's face appears in the doorway. He starts sniffing the air and lets out a low growl. These are all signs indicating that he can smell his mate but there are only men in here. "MATE!" I hear a growl from behind me and quickly remember that Alpha Harold's daughter is also in here with us. How the fuck did I forget that? "MATE!" echos through the SUV as Adrain growls low before getting inside and staring at her. It's also at this point that I realize that I don't even know her name.

The double doors of the gym swung open, and as I craned my neck towards the sound I saw the upside down figure of Dean approaching us. “Alpha. Maia.” He greeted us both with a small nod, seemingly unsurprised by my current state on the floor. “Deano.” I replied, giving him a captains salute as I clambered from the floor. “I’ve found something based on what the rogues told us, I think it might be something you want to see.” Dean said to Julius, ignoring me as I stepped closer to listen in. “Okay… you haven’t shared this with anyone else?” Julius asked, his face all business as he rubbed the side of his jaw.

For the elite guard to grace their home meant something monumental was happening—whether a blessing or a curse, she didn't know. Jake stepped forward, bowing low as the commander approached. “Is that her?” the Kingsguard asked, his sharp eyes locking onto Calista. “Yes, Sir Braavos,” Jake replied eagerly. “Her name is Calista Caitlynn. Nineteen, a maiden, and a virgin. I am certain the Alpha will find her suitable.” Sir Braavos signaled his men, and a heavy iron box filled with gold coins was handed over to Jake in exchange for his daughter.

The office is spacious, wide with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city and transparent glass panels. I can see Gideon sitting behind a mahogany desk. His name, GIDEON HOLCOMB, is written on a gold plate hanging on the door. Joe knocks respectfully. Without looking up, Gideon’s voice responds. “Come in!” We enter. “Dad!” Joe calls out. Gideon looks up. First thing he sees is me. His eyes locks in on me. He springs up. “Joe, Avery, what brings you here?” he wants to know.

Then added, quick, almost dismissive — don't worry, I'll take care of him. I sat back and let that settle. Gideon. I knew that name. Used to be one of Felix's friends, way back, always hanging around the house when we were kids. He stopped coming over after he lost both parents in an accident, and i really haven't thought about the guy in years, honestly. So what the hell business does he have with Hannah that puts him inside a secret like this?

That conversation would come in its own time. The reaction I hadn't expected was Gideon. He was one of the oldest active warriors in the pack, scarred in the specific way of someone who had earned every mark, with a reputation for being impossible to impress and even more impossible to move once he'd formed an opinion. He had never once, in my memory, acknowledged me as anything other than the Beta's inconvenient Omega daughter. He had not been unkind. He had simply not seen me as relevant. He was standing near the training yard gate when I came around the corner of the main building. He looked at me, and I looked at him, and I was fully prepared to walk past
