I apologize for the delay in posting. Tomorrow, we will see Lucas' POV. Then we will be off to battle prep for the upcoming war.
LUCASI had always wanted to find my mate, but I had faith that it would happen when it was meant to. It made me wonder if Sophia had always been intended to be mine, as in the Goddess knew that she would be brought back when she was. Either way, all I cared about was the fact that I had finally found my completion.Now, the fact that it was SOPHIA CARSON still had my head spinning. She was super fucking brilliant. She had been a leader in her field, advancing things further than anyone else had before her. It was odd to think that my mate was the same person whose work enticed me so much as to dive deep into biochemical engineering, especially its application within the supernatural community as a whole. However, I also had contacts within the human population that I worked with as well.Part of me wondered what I could possibly bring to this mateship. She was just as gorgeous as she was brilliant. She could have any man that she wanted. What if I ended up not being what she wanted?‘
GRANTWe had called our allied leaders from packs, covens, clans, and thunders to come to a meeting so that we could address the upcoming war. There were a fuckton of people in attendance.Kalen and Maddox did a hybrid aura/truth command, pushing it out over everyone in attendance to flush out anyone who would betray us or the mission. Thankfully, everyone passed that test.Kalen went on to explain everything about Demacores and the upcoming war. Not only would there be Demacores but also other species on their side. Dark Fae, demons, shifters, and powerful witches.The one great piece of information was that all of the Demacores would fall immediately once their commander died at the hands of Maddox and Kalen.It was reassuring to see how many people in attendance either had access to lightning or knew if they people had access to it. Lightning was one such weakness that Demacores had. Aunt Ziyah even mentioned that she would be able to create something that would act as a burst of li
ELLEIt was amazing to witness everyone coming together to fight in this war.Sure, many of us have been through battles or missions at one point or another. War was on a much larger scale. Facing Bandore was not a big deal at all. We also fought battles against the Eyes of Orboro, Girolamo coven, the Dark Fae, and then Andrei the Douche who led the charge to massacre the original Precoza coven.This war would be one that would go down in supernatural history because the outcome would determine the future of everyone. I would be a piss-poor leader if I did not consider all potential outcomes. We would come out victorious, therefore protecting everyone who would have fallen victim to the Demacores. Or we would fail, resulting in everyone’s enslavement or destruction.Those on our side would lay our lives down if necessary to ensure our victory. Unfortunately, I knew that there was no possible way that we would walk away from this war with zero fatalities. We had been extremely lucky whe
ANGELThe past two weeks had been spent training and preparing for war. Tomorrow was D-Day. We would be on the battlefield come midmorning. It seemed like all too soon but all too far at the same time.There was a huge gathering going on in the large clearing between Nightshade and Shadow Falls. BBQ, dance floor, and a bonfire. It was for both of our packs. It was exactly what we all needed to keep our morale up.The truth was that we had no guarantees that we would be coming back from this war. As much as we wanted to keep a positive attitude that all of us would return, we also had to be realistic.I smiled when I saw Elle and Kade dancing together. He had not been happy at all when it came to hearing that Selene had tasked her and Gabriel Rosenthall with rescuing a pup that was being held hostage by Draxthi. Apparently, the pup was like my mates’ family with being descended from her. The only reason that Kade relaxed at all was because Gabriel, my mate’s namesake, had been given a g
JAXONEveryone was gathering at the middle field between Nightshade and Shadow Falls before we made our way over to the battlefield.The main group, which included Maddox and Kalen, would be the first one through. They would be luring Draxthi and Calvin outside. Then we would all make our way to wherever our groups were to be stationed. I could not use my abilities, but that was not going to stop me from kicking some serious baddie ass.I slipped a special amulet over my head. It was a last-minute addition to the plan, one that would bring more strength to our side.(Flashback to last night)‘I need to see you, son.’I kissed the top of Sansa’s head and slipped out of bed without waking her up. This woman had become the most important thing in my entire life. We had not known each other for too long, but I fully understood now what it meant by a soul connection between mates.Slipping on a shirt and shoes, I made me way outside. Dad watched me approach as he was leaning against a tree.
ELLEWe continued on once the witches left. We were solely on the rescue mission. We would fight if necessary, but that was not our primary objective.All of a sudden, I could feel a vibration in the air. There was a little kick from the princess inside of my womb. It was the first time I had felt her kick. My hand covered the outside of my suit. I could not wait to share the good news with Kade.‘The vibration is the tether to her. Follow it,’ Faye urged me.My wolf had never let me down before, so I followed her guidance. We slipped into a room that appeared to be a throne room. Draxthi really needed an interior designer. The murals about war, death, and bloodshed were fairly disturbing because the details made it look like these were done from memory.It was sad to think about all of the pain, chaos, and darkness this place had seen over the years. One day, it would return to what it once was.There was a Demacore in the corner who was actively feeding on someone. The male’s screams
KADEI released the breath that I had been holding once my mate told me that she got the pup and was leaving.My mate was an incredible force of nature, but that did not mean I was free from worry when it came to her, Faye, and our little girl in her womb. Those three meant everything to me and my wolf. Tyre was just as smitten as a mate and father as I was.The command that I had over the shadows had only grown over the years. It did not take much effort to multitask with them right now as they tore through enemies left and right. This was precisely why Shadow Wielders were adept fighters. Their command of the shadows was deadly if used as such.‘Knock Knock,’ Tyre said.I dove out of the way of a flying fireball. I threw a shadow sickle at the Dark Fae, which effectively decapitated it.Was this really the time for jokes? We were literally in the middle of fighting for our lives.‘You’re such a bore. It’s always the time for a good joke.’ He scoffed at me.I sighed, knowing that he w
GABRIELI gritted my teeth against the pain in my side. That fucking witch no longer had any magic, but he definitely had weapons. I was taking on a Demacore, and the witchy fucker caught me off-guard.Knight snarled and set out some shadows to snap his neck. My wolf was bloodthirsty on the battlefield. He was a damn good prime Alpha wolf. Emotions held no place here. Enemies were enemies. Removing oneself allowed us to put that at the forefront of our minds.These fuckers were never-ending. When one group fell, another group took their place.My eyes swept over to my mate, ensuring that she was okay. Thankfully, her light was not only both an offensive and defensive ability but could also help to heal. Athena was able to pull on the light to help them heal as Angel fought.All of a sudden, our enemies started falling. Something was killing them left and fucking right…A mournful howl pierced the air, and the ground shook all around us. What in the fucking hell was going on?Angel fell
