Charlie POV.The alarms blur all around the pack. Wolves looking confused as to why the sirens and Hades are attacking. I chuckle as we all run in formation. Asteria leading us. She runs and leaps over four wolves landing, slamming the trident into the ground, sending the poor sods flying backwards.“Get to the crypt.” She shouts and I nod my head and run in what I think is the direction. Shanti follows me. A hulking wolf runs towards us. Shanti shrieks and launches at him, tackling him to the ground, punching him in the face, effectively knocking his ass out.“Go!” she shouts as I run as she spars with more wolves. I’m tackled to the ground and look into the eyes of Skoll. Oh great.“Why are you attacking the pack, Charlie?” he holds me down and I am no match for him, not without my siren form. Fuck!“Do you still love Rosa?” I ask him and he looks at me strangely. He bites his lip and nods his head, fighting the tears that glisten in his eyes.“Then help me. There is a way to break
Rosa POV.Looking at the portal, with Jadara and Cece standing beside me. There has to be another way. That portal won’t open here. When it dawns on me. This is not the only portal. If Bellious’s insinuation is correct, I am immortal.I smirk as I think back to what has happened since I was brought here. Jadara watches me and I see a shadow of a smirk on her face.“You know what you have to do?” she says and I look at her in confusion, my brows deeply furrowed. Do I?“Close you eyes and listen to what you are being told.” I look at her like she has lost her mind, but I do as instructed and close my eyes. Drowning out all the surrounding noise. Meditating as it were. I hear it, I feel it.The call and hum of the Gate. The Gate is a portal.My eyes snap open and I smile at her and she pouts her arms crossed over her chest. Cece is looking bored as she looks around. She hasn’t changed.“Well, I take it you know now?” Jadara asks and I nod my head as I hug her and she chuckles.“Thank you
Rosa POV.I pull back and smile as tears leave my eyes.“Hey, baby girl. Gods, I have missed you. Four years Rosa, four years I tried everything to get to you,” he tells me and I gasp. Four years. I was in hell for four years. To us, it only felt like days.“I’m here now. I’m so sorry I left you behind. I …” He slams his lips on mine once more and I kiss him back. The kiss is frantic and filled with longing, love, and passion.“Don’t you ever apologise for it. It was not your fault. We need to get out of here. This crypt is going to collapse.” He says as another shock waves hits. The walls begin to crumble around us.“Climb on.” I shove him towards Cerberus, and Charlie climbs up and stops, looking at Merrick.“What are you doing here?” He snarls out, and Merrick rolls his eyes.“He has mated and marked Jadara, so of course he has to be here. Now move your ass.” I say as I climb up and he sits in front of Merrick and I move in front of Charlie.“Baby, we need to get out of here. Can y
Charlie POV.We all behind Cerberus as we enter the Waning mountains. Cerberus stops and Rosa climbs down, pats him before she walks away.I go to follow her when Asteria stops me and shakes her head.“Let her go. She has just walked away from the only family she has known. Give her some space.” She says, and I look at the retreating figure of Rosa. Shanti takes my hand, gives it a squeeze. Jadara and Cece move past us all and follow behind Rosa.“She will be OK,” Merrick says as he follows behind his mate and I’m left standing there like an idiot. I shake my head with a sigh and follow, anyway.I’ve just got her back. I’m not going to let her go through this on her own. I walk through the little town and make my way towards our home. I open the door and don’t see Rosa anywhere. I walk towards the bedroom and she isn’t there. I search every room but nothing. Casta has kept the house clean, so that’s a plus.I leave the house and look around for her. But nothing. I walk towards the jun
Rosa POV.It has been months now since I came back from Hell. The Williams family has stayed away from me and for that, I am grateful. I didn’t want to see them, so it has given me time to get over all the bullshit and toxicity that came with them.I have been focusing on myself and Charlie. Jadara seems happy with Merrick and Cece, well she is now with me all the time now. Occasionally Jadara comes back because we need to keep the connection going. I don’t know what would happen if she didn’t come back. But still, it’s nice that she has finally given love a chance.I have been helping as much as I can. Shanti has been coming to see us regularly with Asteria. Hades, too. I gather the vegetables and fruits and lift the baskets and move back towards the village. Cerberus has baskets draped over his back as we both move through the jungle.The residents were all wary about the three-headed beast, but they are used to him now. Little Matilda loves him her parent’s not so much, especially
Rosa POV.“Rosa, what are you doing here?” She looks like shit, no doubt worrying about her pups.“I’m here to help.” I say, and she looks at me. Her bottom lip quivers. She walks down the steps and pulls me into a hug as she sobs on my shoulder. It breaks my heart and I hug her back.“It’s ok, I will get through to them. I will try my best. Selene and Lycaon told me what has happened. I will try to get them back.” I tell her as she trembles with the sobs. This woman was once my mom. I hate how we turned out to be.“I’m sorry Rosa. I know this is on me. It all is, I can’t lose them. I already lost you. I can’t lose them.” She breaks down completely and I break with her. Gaia was always so strong, but I suppose when it comes to your pups there is only so much strength you can show before everything comes crashing down.“I will do my best to get through to them. I give you my word.” I say to her and she nods her head, sniffling as she pulls back. I look up behind her and see the men I c
Rosa POV.I follow behind my mom and Asteria as we move towards the front of the packhouse. Mom is raging because of the deceit coming from her own blood. But it is no secret how Selene likes to interfere with the lives of her family.It is quite funny at times. I know my mom never wanted to dictate in my life, afraid she would be like Selene and be a hypocrite for it, but sometimes I wished she did. You know, like to step in when I needed her.Don’t get me wrong, she wasn’t all bad, but in my heart of hearts I would have liked her to step up more instead of taking the back seat. But I think it is too late for that now. Or is it?Mom stops in the training field and roars so loud it shakes the earth. At the same time, Asteria shrieks. They are both ready for this. To go to the heavens to save her pups. They want me, but they should know how unstable the Harbinger is, right? Well, I guess we are about to find out.Mom opens a portal, and she looks at me and offers me her clawed paw. I w
Rosa POV.My eyes widen as I fall through the floor, my wings flap as I fall. I slow my momentum with each stroke when I hear a scream and Jadara falls. I dive to grab her; she reaches for me and I grab her and pull up fast before we hit the floor. I place her on her feet.“Stay here.” I look up and take off again. What the fuck happened? I hear a roar of anger and follow the sound to see my mom fighting with Zeus. My family has shifted into their wolf forms. Charlie is fighting to the best of his ability.Asteria is next to him. The gods and the guards are fighting when I hear it. A hissing sound. I scan the area and my eyes widen in horror.I move at speed and slice through the shadows as they slither towards their prey. How did they get here? I move around, dodging the guards as I hear a roar and a crash. I look to the right and the columns crash. I smile as I fly closer to him.“Did I call you by accident? Or did you just miss me?” I ask him and he turns his orange eyes to me.“I
