Calista POV.I know something is wrong, and there is something more than what Gaia is telling us. Whatever it is, I will get to the bottom of it.“Will she be ok?” Jake asks and I sigh as I turn to look at him.“I don’t know. But whatever she has just found out, she isn’t telling us the full truth about.” I say turning my attention back to the retreating figure of Gaia.“She will tell us when she is ready. We just need to be there for her and show her that she can trust us enough to tell us,” Gabriel says, and I nod as she vanishes. No doubt on her way to see Selene.“We have another problem, though.” I look at Leo when it hits me. Shit!“Selene won’t say anything to her about what happened that night. She wouldn’t risk Gaia’s wrath.” I tell him as we walk towards the door leading up into the palace.“Calista, who is the soul that escaped?” I blink. There is no harm in telling them, right? I’m sure if there was, then Gaia would have said not to tell them.“A dark witch. Her name is Mor
Gaia POV.“Aunty Sel, I need your help!” I shout as I run into the garden as she comes running from her palace. She sees me and runs closer.“What is it, Gaia? Tell me?” she takes my hands in hers as I pant for breath. I feel the walls closing in around me. What the fuck do I do? How can I stop this? How do I find her and her chosen?“Morgana, she escaped.” I say as I see anger flash across her face at my words. Her expression darkens and I gulp. Yes, I gulped. I have never seen her this angry before. I shiver as the electricity rolls around us, charging the air.“What did you find out?” I blink at her words. She knows something, but what?“I went to see Fate. She told me that Morgana will take her revenge on the mate she chose and me. That … That I die at the hands of my mates and when that happens, the Werewolf World will fall.” I tell her as goosebumps erupt on my flesh.She growls as she turns around and walks towards the pool of life. Her hands braced at the sides as she looks int
Leo POV.Having my hands caressing Gaia’s skin, I look into her eyes as they flash from blue to red and back to blue. She is fighting with her wolf. I hold her as I watch her. Her chest is heaving as the water cascades down her body. Calista is washing her body as Jake and Gabriel are washing her hair.Stepping closer to her, my erection brushes her thigh and she gasps. Her eyes are hooded as a small moan erupts out of her throat. Gabriel pulls her head back, exposing her throat to me. My lips kiss her throat. She freezes as I grip her waist, my hips grinding against her.“Give into it Gaia.” I mumble against her skin as my hands travel up to her full breasts. As she moans loudly as I brush her erect nipples with my palm.The scent of her arousal fills the shower as I lick her neck, leaving butterfly kisses up to her jaw. Her breathing becomes ragged. Her legs tremble. When I’m pushed hard into the wall behind me. Her hand wrapped around my throat. My eyes widen as her chest heaves. B
Gaia POV.What have I done? I ask myself as I sit on the shower floor; the water beating down on me, my hands shaking as I watch blood drip from my nose to my hands. I don’t have six months; I know it will happen soon. My power is fading and the answer to my problems is currently asleep in my bed.“Gaia, you need to give in completely. This is happening more and more. I think you are right, we don’t have six months. The blood moon is happening in three month’s time. I think it would be best if we just…”“Just what? Roll over? I won’t. There has to be another way, Kodiak. There has to be.” I pull my knees to my chest. Wrapping my arms around myself as I sob. The water washing away the blood and my tears.“Gaia.” I look up and see Jake. He moves towards me before he sits beside me on the shower floor. Wrapping his arms around me, pulling me onto his lap as I sob onto his shoulder.“Hey, what’s wrong?” He asks as he tries to soothe me, but I tighten my grip on him. The bond calling to hi
Calista POV.Time seemed to slow as Gaia fell. None of us were quick enough to catch her as her head bounced off the floor.“GAIA!” I scream as move when I’m stopped by the blinding light, shielding my eyes, Selene materialises into the bathroom. She shoves us all aside with a growl as she lifts a naked, wet, and bloody Gaia in her arms.“MOVE!” she snarls out as her eyes flash and I gulp, moving aside as she walks her out of the bathroom and into the bedroom.“Put some clothes on.” She says over her shoulder as she lays Gaia down on the bed. Pulling a pair of sweatpants on, I approach the bed and help her get Gaia cleaned up and into some pyjamas.“Selene, what’s happening to her?” I ask when she turns her gaze to me. She looks back at Gaia before she moves a strand of golden hair from her face.“It’s happening too quickly. She is pushing against the bond. She doesn’t have six months Calista, more like three. I can’t stop it. Every day, she fights the bond the weaker she is becoming.
Jake POV.Gaia is starting to trust me and has opened up to me. I guess I see heartbreak easily. The Goddess of Hell is terrified of dying but also of being loved. I know of her childhood, what she did to when she destroyed a school and nearly killed a pup because he hit her brother.Being that age and having everyone afraid of you must have been hard. Not having friends because everyone was scared in case she blew up again. I know her family loves her but what about other’s? I think she has only been shown fear, and that is why she is the way she is.This business with her cousin and her mate, I think, just sent her over the edge. And I understand it all. Probably more than Calista does, and definitely more than Leo and Gabe will.I know she craves it. Each morning when I wake up, she is snuggled against my chest with Calista behind her. I know it’s pissing Leo and Gabe off, but they need to try harder with her. They need to be vulnerable with her, show her respect. That is the only w
Gaia POV.Since we came home from the disastrous shopping trip, a few days ago. I have locked myself away in my room. Calista and Jake have both tried to get me to open the door, but I’ve refused.“This isn’t helping, Gaia. We need to end this and find Leo. He didn’t mean it.” Kodiak whimpers in my head and I’ve had enough of her defending him. She is my fucking wolf, not his.“Fuck off, Kodiak. He knew what he was doing. You heard what he said. I’m done. I don’t want to talk about him anymore. So please just stop.” I snap at her when she jumps before she whimpers before I block her out. I don’t need this shit from her.I haven’t eaten or slept. Hell, I haven’t even showered. Gross, I know, but I don’t care. He thinks I’m a whore. But has he felt the pains of betrayal from me? No, he hasn’t. I haven’t done a damn thing. Yes, I’m hotheaded, but that is just who I am. I always have been.Pulling the quilt up higher and over my head, I sigh as I bring my knees to my chest and cuddle my pi
Leo POV.Sitting in the booth of the club watching wolves and humans dancing to the beat of the music, I sit nursing my drink.“Hey, sexy. Fancy some company?” I growl at the woman who has approached the table.“Not tonight darlin, why don’t you move along, yeah?” Gabe tells her and she pouts, folding her arms under her chest, pushing her breasts even higher. I roll my eyes and knock my drink back. Sluts everywhere.“Oh, come on, you look like you need to relax. Here, let me help you.” She purrs, biting her bottom lip as she sits in my lap.“Get off of me, don’t fucking touch me,” I snarl as I shove her off of me. She lands on the floor as she screams. I grab the bottle, pouring myself another drink as she gets up and slaps me. I chuckle at her, licking my lip as Aries comes forward.“Unless you want to be ripped to shreds, I suggest you fuck off.” He says with a growl. Her eyes widen as she staggers backwards before turning and walking away.“Tell me why we are here again? It’s been
