Here you go! Remember that all of those beautiful gems are about to expire. Remo definitely appreciates them.
GRANT I had no idea what to expect when we realized that the mindlink was a trap. We popped back to the hospital and rushed into the room. The scene had been a huge disaster. It looked like a warzone. There were broken machines, everything was thrown about, and there was blood smeared throughout the room. Athena, our amazing warrior wolf mate had fought for her life against two attackers and came out on top. Thank the Goddess that she was trained by Mama Faye and was a naturally gifted fighter. It made sense, knowing what Athena was. My brother and I felt like we failed her again. Had we been here then nothing like this would have happened. She would not have been harmed at all. Speaking of her being harmed, there was something that did not make sense. Nothing in the bond fluctuated. There had not been any signs of pain or fear, nothing to suggest that she was being attacked. Remo had also not been alerted. ‘Athena said that they had soundproofed the room so that the guards wouldn
ANGEL Athena pointed out a total of six people that she felt needed to be monitored because their reactions to what was being shared were suspicious. I made certain to share their faces with my mates after the pack meeting concluded. It seemed that my mates had also picked up on their reactions and promised that they would be watched. Sadly, we had no way to tell who all was either a part of this or willing to be. How many people were in this pack that were willing to betray it for the right price? How many people would destroy the peace that we had here? A part of me felt like this was all my fault. Josef sent Maxine here to learn everything she could about the pack and about me. Now, our pack was being threatened because of Josef’s obsession with me. While he was no longer here, he set the wheels in motion before he died. We had war a ‘It’s not your fault. Julio would’ve found out who you were even if Josef never found you. He still would’ve found out about the prophecy. Here’s
ATHENA Denton lived alone, but there was no telling if anyone else was there. That was precisely why we had to be quick and covert. We had everyone on standby just in case something went south. Hopefully, it would not, but we needed to be prepared. His house was in one of the outer subdivisions where many warriors lived. It was close to the barracks and training center. Luckily, it was dark outside. That was certainly a plus right now. Unfortunately, casting a cloak was not an ability that we had. However, our mates could manipulate the shadows to help cloak us. ‘Be safe, our warrior mate,’ Grant whispered through the open link between the three of us. ‘Definitely be safe or else we’ll just slaughter the fuckheads,’ Gabriel said with a smirk on his deliciously handsome face. ‘Same goes for you two as well.’ They kissed their marks and let the shadows take over. The door was locked, so a shadow went into the keyhole, effectively unlocking it. The door slowly swung open. We slipp
GRANTTonight brought a lot of new information to light and would take a moment to wrap my head around it all.First off, Athena was really fucking brutal. Nobody should fuck with her. Goddess, she was magnificent. There was something extremely sexy seeing her being an Avenging Angel like this. One thing that my wolf and I agreed on was that our mates were so fucking perfect.Secondly, Mama Faye and Athena had apparently both been warriors on the battlefield. It was really cool that they had known each other in that regard. Neither of them had given any of us the impression that they had known each other like that. It did not matter either way. I could definitely see warrior-like traits in them both though. Brutal was the both of them.Thirdly, it would appear that Athena had the ability to see inside of someone’s mind, according to Ghost. That was really cool. It was a damn good thing that I did not have anything to hide from my mate. My brother and I were open books for both of them.
ANGELHad I ever mentioned how epic my wolf was? Athena took charge and set things in motion that would give us the upper hand in all of this. I had to believe that we would all be okay in the end unless I wanted to break down yet again with fear of what could possibly lay ahead.Knowing that the Goddess Athena had created the blueprint of my Athena still blew my mind. She was a true warrior wolf. She had shared with me that this was the first life where she was able to have a family. There was only so much of life that one could live while fighting on the front lines. One thing that I knew with absolute certainty was that we would both appreciate each experience with our family and loved ones as they occurred. We would never take our lives for granted.“How’s it going?” I heard from behind me.I turned around and saw Jaxon. He was proudly supporting Sansa’s mark on his neck. Those two were absolutely perfect for each other. They certainly had a great future ahead of them. I would be f
GRANTNever had I thought that I would get to meet Sophia. Goddess, the resemblance between Angel and her was remarkable to witness side-by-side.There was such tenderness that she showed Angel, which only served to warm my heart. Paula was an amazing mother to Angel. Never once had she treated Angel any differently from Denny or Willow. Never once had she or Jesse made our girl feel like she was adopted. Angel was theirs from the moment that they first laid their eyes on her.It was great to witness how much Sophia loved Angel and vice versa. I knew that this was not the same as them living life together, but it was a blessing that I knew neither of them would take for granted.Knowing that the time to deal with Julio was drawing near had us all stressing out. My brother and I were attempting to keep our emotions in check because our mate did not need to feel what we felt.Gabriel and I were both terrified about the warning Sophia had given to her about her gut feeling that something
GABRIELOur asses were kicked into gear after we were informed that their trajectory would put them where we needed them in two days’ time. It was all coming down to the wire.I wished that we could just press a button, and then BOOM all of our enemies were blasted into smithereens. It sucked that reality was not that easy.We wasted no time in gathering our people together. Unfortunately, we had to do something that we did not particularly care to do but needed to ensure that we did not take traitors with us. Mom issued a command to our people and the other wolves, asking if they would ever betray Nightshade or our allies. Aunt Ziyah issued a snar for those who were not wolves.It reassured us when there were no other traitors in our midst. Everything would be ruined if Julio caught wind of what we were planning on doing. We needed to end him and his reign of fuckery.“I want to thank each and every one of you for aiding us today,” Angel said to the large crowd of those who will go to
ANGELI was doing everything in my power to focus on the calm that Athena was sending to me because everything would fail if I lost my composure.Honestly, a small part of me was terrified that I was about to face off against Julio because of what I had seen in that future. Even though logically I knew that it would not happen, I could still avidly remember every detail of that experience even if it had not happened to me in person – the pain of childbirth, the exhaustion of it all, the fear of what would happen next, and the pain of losing my son just like what had apparently happened with twelve of my daughters.However, the larger part of me was in the forefront. It was the part that would get justice for everyone that Julio and the Río de Fuego pack had ever harmed. It would not change the past, but he and they would pay for their sins.‘Are you ready for this?’ Athena asked me as I walked down the stairs, holding my mates’ hands, and hoping that it would not be the last time that
