Poor Cami, but at least she has a future now. She will have her own protector in Ace. Back to the battle next.
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
GRANTIt was almost like we were in a trance as we stepped inside of the packhouse. Angel’s hand squeezed mine, reminding me that I was not alone.We quickly showered to wash away the reminder of the battle that we had just faced. It was… I shook my head to dispel the memories of what we just faced.Mom asked us to stop by once we got back here because she needed to see us. I could understand that because I wanted to make sure that she was okay as well. This was the second war that she had been in while pregnant.My mother was a fucking badass that did not take no for an answer, but I knew that she would never put her pups in danger.I wondered if she had been able to save the girl that Selene tasked her to find. It was interesting to know that the Rosenthall line was not the only one descended from Selene. The little girl was the last of her family line though. I could not imagine what it would be like for her.You know, there were some people who talked a big game about wanting to fl
GABRIELWaking up without Angel in bed had been enough to throw me into a panic. However, I calmed down once Knight explained where she was. It was a damn good thing that she had found Steven. That poor boy. I could not even imagine how painful it would be to lose a parent, especially at such a young age.I was thankful that Angel was able to comfort both Steven and his mother. We would find a way to help them both. In the same way, we would find ways to help the families of those who lost loved ones.Every pack, clan, coven, and thunder that had fought in the war and lost someone would be participating in a livestream being led by Kalen and Maddox.As per our pack’s customs, we dressed in bright colors. It was primarily a human custom to wear dark colors while being in mourning. We, however, wore bright colors in celebration of their life. It was one way to honor them.I was wearing a red button-down shirt with black slacks.Grant was wearing a kelly-green button-down shirt with gray
GRANTAngel had no idea that we would be spending the weekend at the cabin. Gabriel and I had sneakily packed for the three of us.Sophia and Paula had taken it upon themselves to get the cabin prepped for us. They both said that it was the least that they could do to ensure that their daughter and sons-in-law enjoyed some much-deserved rest and relaxation.Some people might assume that the situation between Angel’s mothers would be awkward, but they would assume wrong. They both loved her more than anything and appreciated each other and what they meant to her. They had quickly become great friends as well.Gabriel and I had always fantasized about mated life with Angel, but we had never once considered that it would be anything like it had been for us thus far.We had the perfect first night as mates, but the following day set the mood for how a lot of the future days would be. I was not saying that we lacked amazing moments with our girl because we had some pretty amazing moments an
ANGELIf a weekend getaway was not enough to make me smile then the ring on my finger would.My mates wanted to marry me, tying us together in one more way. Marking our mates was the shifter equivalent of marriage.Goddess, this ring was so damn gorgeous! I have seen many beautiful rings, but all paled in comparison to this one right here. My mates continued to amaze me.We decided to go swimming before we cooked dinner together. They did a great fantastic job with packing for this weekend. I chose the red bikini that I had recently got. This would be the first time that I wore a bikini around anyone, which I liked because it would be something just for my mates.I threw my hair up into a messy bun on the top of my head. It was hell putting all of it up like this, but it worked. I smiled in the mirror when my eyes caught sight of the marks on my neck. I was so damn proud of them and showed them off whenever I got the chance.My mates were talking to each other when I left the bedroom.
ANGELThe fact of the matter was that nobody could outrun their past indefinitely. At one point or another, it would appear in front of you like a charging bull inside of a china shop, threatening to destroy everything within its wake.I had always prided myself on my strength. It had been hounded into me that I could overcome anything just as long as I fought hard enough and continued fighting no matter what. The reality was that it was much easier said than done when the time came to put that plan into action.Betrayal – the word itself stung, slicing into me like a silver dagger, serrating everything it touched. How had I been so blind to not have seen the snake before it struck me and tossed me into the lion’s den as if I was nothing but a raw steak.Who would have known that dealing with my past would have me dealing with a devil that dressed in designer suits and wielded his authority like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, threatening to obliterate all that it contacted with?I had once
ANGELI was given a writing prompt in the fourth grade, which made an impact still felt today. It was a single sentence.Who are you?That should have been easy to answer, but it was not. I remember sitting back in my seat and thinking about what made me who I was.My birth mother had only been in my life for ten weeks. Sadly, I did not know anything about her. The story that I had been told was that a group of vampires had rounded up humans to be sold at a feeding room as portable juice boxes in a variety of flavors from O- to AB+ and everything in between. My mother was a she-wolf with a gift that concealed us as humans until it did not. I was still young enough to be passed off as human, but she was not. Feeding room vampires did not stoop so low as to consume wolf-shifter blood. Their thoughts, not mine.Thankfully, Luna Elle and Alpha Kade were undercover at that feeding room and saved me.I was brought back to the Nightshade pack and my parents immediately adopted me. They said
