War Is God Blood Meridian Novels & Stories

Like a man that’s been lost at the desert, he devours me like I am his life source. As I pull away from him to get a breath, I feel a sharp sting on my lip.

It has been waiting my entire life for the moment when I stopped being afraid of it. I am not afraid of it anymore. The Moonblood does not surface gradually. There is no gentle emergence, no careful unveiling. One moment I am Eira Quinn, former omega of the Ashbane Pack, mother of one five year old who forgets his boots and checks his left buckle twice and has his father's eyes and my stubbornness and more power in his small hands than anyone in this clearing fully understands. The next moment I am all of that and something ancient underneath it. Something that was here before the packs.

I fought against the vision, my human mind screaming for the light, my hands clawing at the empty air as I forced my eyes to snap open back into the dark vault chamber. The merge gives Anna visions of a coming war that will destroy all wolf packs.

When the pen touched the document— Blood from her wound dripped. A red drop fell right on top of her name. Livia Moreau. She finished her signature with trembling hands. Her blood stained the contract. A promise she had never even chosen. Robert smiled with satisfaction. “Good.” He closed the folder. “Now everything is finished.” But for Livia— This had just begun. This marriage was not salvation. It was hell. And the man who would become her husband… Hated her more than anyone else in this world.

Her father continued, “They say the War God is mighty and powerful in a way most people will never understand. No one dares speak when he says no.

From your grandmother's." He paused. "Take the position. Climb from there. The higher you go, the closer you get to his world. He is the only one capable of helping you carry what you were born carrying. I don't want to lose you." Elena's jaw tightened. His words had found something r

Sophia slammed the needle into my thigh, plunging the medication home. The reaction was instantaneous. My heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird, a sudden, violent surge of adrenaline overriding the crippling exhaustion.

As soon as the room had cleared, Russe slammed the door shut. The news of Adelia’s pregnancy with an outcast child had hit him hard, and he didn’t know how to process it. Due to the loud noise, Adelia awoke to an angry Russe who immediately turned to face her, his eyes blazing with fury. She cowered before him, her hand instinctively going to her flat belly.

Something died inside of Meridith at the very sound of it. Meridith mind was in a turmoil. The more she listened to the pain filled sound of Kamara, the more furious she got. She reacted on impulse. Tears overflowed her eyes and she saw this time as an opportunity to get blanketed by Damon. She wrapped her arms around him, burying her face into his chest.

The mercury in the air was neutralizing the latent pheromones. For the first time in my life, I couldn't smell the pack. I could only smell the gunpowder.
