Novel & Cerita War Is God Blood Meridian

"You kept her journal? After you killed her?" "I kept trophies from all of them," Meridith said, and her voice cracked. "Proof of my service to prophecy. But I never read them. Never wanted to see these people as human. As scared and confused and trying to understand what was happening to them. I kept them as evidence of my righteousness." She pressed the journal into my hands. "Read it," she said. "Learn from someone who went through this before you. Maybe it'll help you survive what I didn't let her survive."

Haley It seems blood red wolves have used this book as a journal and it gets passed down to the next one. The last entry is from the fifties. I can’t believe what I am reading. This has got to be some sick joke right? ‘December 1952 A dark witch has successfully created a potion that will make a blood red wolf obedient to her master. There is no known cure at this time. My mother is lost, gone and I’m never going to get her back. Blood red wolves beware, trust no one. I have gone into hiding deep in the woods where no humans or wolves live. It’s a hard life but at least I am free.’

Unfortunately for her, I wasn't the same naive Lydia Cohen anymore. If she wanted to play games, I'd play better. I had been slaughtered at my in-laws' house in my last life, and my father died without an intact body. I was going to make her pay, one thing at a time.

He had a warped sense of responsibility towards women who couldn’t fend for themselves. Hudson was a diamond in the rough, with an emphasis on the rough, but he had a heart of gold. He was also a mean motherfucker, with a sick glint in his eyes when he faced an enemy. He had no fear or remorse for taking a life that he deemed unworthy. Dominic still loved him like a brother, warped and all. “I’ll keep an eye on him.”

I screamed, feeling on the verge of losing my mind. Blood was dripping from my fingers, but I didn't even feel the pain as I gripped the blade. Mom didn't even glance at my injury. She nodded firmly. "Yes!"

A white wolf locked eyes on him, grabbed the jar in its jaws, and respectfully placed it in my hand. Another wolf bared its teeth and sank them into Noah's neck. It tossed him into the air and slammed him to the ground. Just as they opened their jaws to finish him off, I raised a hand. They stopped at once, crouched by my side with their heads lowered. Noah's eyes lit up. "May, I'll… be happy to die here. But you stopped them… Does this mean—" I yawned, then continued, "You're reading too much into it. I just didn't want them tainted by your filthy blood."

The feel of the weapon rekindled my fear, even the groom came to his own wedding with a gun? With a goddamned gun under his vest? I thought nothing about this marriage was normal, but now I really knew it wasn't. We weren't safe even on our own wedding. A war could break out, people could get killed, on our wedding! The bloody heck! "Once we're back at the table, I'll leave you to handle the guests," Dimitri whispered, his lips casually brushing my earlobes, my hair stood on end. I looked up at his face, fighting down the fear seeping through me. "Why, where are you going?"

I only had one form left, to imagine that I was even considering using it is proof of how difficult this battle is. Slowly the number of demons was diminishing but there were still too many. Everywhere I turned it was demon after demon. I was getting injuries from all sides and places. I do not think there was a single area on my body which did not contain blood, MY blood. Marcus!

“Don’t let go.” The Goddess’s presence shatters into silence. And I am left with one truth burning through me. The war will end. But not without blood. When the gods demand a sacrifice, will I choose my life… or my son’s future?

The drive to the industrial port was a journey through a ghost city. The celebratory lights of the wedding gave way to the desolate, sodium-orange glow of empty streets, which then faded into the absolute blackness of the abandoned waterfront. The only sound was the hum of the rental car’s engine and the frantic thudding of my own heart. The weight of the gun against my spine was a cold, grim comfort. Arthur’s words echoed in the silence, a torturous refrain. *You are choosing his war over our life.*
