Max Griffin Amulet Novels & Stories

Considering everything you've done, I'll see to it that you're all set up with enough cash to live comfortably for the rest of your lives. Staring at his smug and self-assured expression, I suddenly laughed. Slowly, I took off the griffin ring Margaret had given me and placed it in my palm. Then, right before his eyes, I reached into my pocket, pulled out another identical ring, and slid it onto my finger. The only difference was that the griffin on this ring had eyes encrusted with two brilliantly flashing rubies. Leonard's pupils constricted in shock. "T-The Twin Griffin Ring? That's impossible! It was buried with my father a long time ago—"

His voice is booming, commanding respect from everyone as he talks about the history of the TMN pack, the importance of the Luna, and the sacred bond between the Alpha and his mate. I listen, nodding where I’m supposed to, but honestly, my mind is buzzing too much to focus. Suddenly, a sharp pain jolts me from my thoughts. They’ve cut my hand—someone sliced it with a ceremonial incisor, and I watch as blood drips onto the silver plate in front of me. This is part of the ritual. The blood signifies my oath to the pack, a promise that I will stay loyal to them and protect them no matter what. I glance up at Gregory, who gives me a reassuring nod. I can feel his pride radiating toward me, and i

” I said. I turned to face the spring and started chanting. “Ergo et occultatum est quod non revelabitur.” Within seconds a small box rose from inside the spring. I reached out and grabbed the box, then turned to Rowen. I opened the box and pulled out the amulet. It was a wire wrapped labradorite stone with a thicker wire edging and a silver triple moon symbol wired onto the front. It was not large and gaudy, it was about medium sized for a pendant, and it hung on a long silver chain.

I whisper as I feel the pockets of my pants, then I whip off my leather jacket. Feeling the seams tentatively, I freeze when a small hole is nudged by my fingers. Briss, Finn and a freshly shifted Sawyer tying his long blonde hair back up, silently watch me widen the hole. My heart sank “Is that what I think it is?” Briss exclaimed as I held up the shining gold and platinum lovers knot with a pin at the back. The amulet. The most precious jewel in the entire nation has been slung around in the lining of my leather jacket for who knows how long.

The moment I saw him, relief flooded through me. “Griffin.” He didn’t answer. He just kept walking, his figure half-hidden in the shifting light. When he stepped close enough for me to see his face, my breath caught. It was him, but it wasn’t. His eyes were pitch black, swallowing the light. His skin looked almost gray, veins pulsing faintly beneath the surface as if something alive was crawling under it. And around his neck hung an amulet, identical to the one I’d seen on Lilith. Only this one… this one was cracked, bleeding a faint trail of light that pulsed like a heartbeat.

She said, patting her already enormous belly. "Nonsense," I replied, but only Elise and I knew the truth. Here, Grace, put it on. This amulet will protect you and the baby. Don't take it off under any circumstances." Grace accepted and opened the box. "Queen Lu... Bella, it's beautiful!" Grace said. I got up from my seat and helped her put it on. At first glance, it seemed rather fine and delicate, but it was powerful. She and her baby would be fine.

Seraphina, her voice soft, replied, "Then we become a part of the Crypt, forever." With a shared nod, the group began to focus, reaching out with their energies to resonate with the runes. As they did, memories, emotions, and challenges manifested, demanding acknowledgment and understanding. The chamber filled with an ethereal chorus as the team, one by one, harmonized with the guardian's challenge. The statue, sensing their sincerity and determination, began to shift, revealing a hidden alcove. Nestled within was the Crescent Amulet, its surface gleaming with an otherworldly light.

He growled at Jayla who smiled, he walked toward her and pressed forcefully his lips on hers. "Oh shit!" Giovanni groaned. "Here we go again." Keyton sighed. Max let go of her mouth, leaving her with a flushed face. "I'm going to meet the other Alpha, be good?" He said, patting her hair. Jayla looked at his outfit, he was beautiful. He wore a navy suit without a tie with a grey Rolex on his hand, a thin gold necklace that shows on his neck and lastly a large cape with a moon and a sword behind his back. She was surprised and loved his outfit.

This empire. The underworld. I ran my thumb over the Abraha insignia. A golden emblazoned crow in mid-flight and twisted the ring so it lay against my palm. I hated the sight of it. The weight. The feel of it was even worse. Suddenly, a thought crossed my head at the resemblance of the black seal and my ring. A symbol that I failed to recognize but hazily suspected. The eerie eyes of an owl. Of course, she chose that over anything else. Sabrina, you cunning piece of shit.

“Maddie and I have enchanted these bracelets for you to wear. Whilst you have these on your scent won’t be traceable, giving you an advantage to ambush Zion.” The young brunette glued to the Queen’s side nodded her head in agreement. “If you plan to shift rather than going in on foot, you’ll obviously need to put it on afterwards.” The girl, also now known as Maddie, lifted one of the bracelets in her palm as she grazed a finger from her spare hand against one of the beads. “These are black tourmaline crystals, they act as a protector whilst you wear them.”
