Gaia POV.I watch as my army slaughter Morgana’s followers. I smirk at the carnage, the screams, and the coppery tinge of blood calls to me. My red eyes locked on Morgana as she pulls at her hair in frustration.I see Calista as he pulls himself up. She turns and grabs him. I jump down off the rubble and charge forward, letting Kodiak push us forward.Cutting her followers down as I move. The sword in my hand dripping with blood. A loud roar comes from behind Morgana as the trees shake as birds shriek and fly away. I watch as a hydra steps out and my eyes widen as I come skidding to a stop.“Oh, shit!” Kodiak says. Oh, shit indeed. How the fuck did she get one of those? They are meant to be in the underworld. I look closer and see it has collars on it’s three necks. It is only young.Even being young, it is huge. Towering over the trees. There is only one thing to do. I look around. I need to find him. I spot him chomping down on someone. Shaking his head violently as the person is spl

Gaia POV.Following Gabe’s scent, I follow it through the forest. My heart beats wildly in my chest. I hope he doesn’t do anything silly. Bursting through the treeline into the clearing next to the dark lake. I see him; he is on his knees by the water’s edge. I breathe in relief.It’s beautiful today. The dark lake looks black under the sun’s rays. Walking closer, I can smell the salt from his tears and hear his whimpers. I approach him cautiously. A wolf in this state can be dangerous. I Know he is hurting because of guilt, but I know it’s not his fault.“Gabe,” I call softly as I place my hand on his shoulder and he jumps with a gasp. He slowly turns to look at me over his shoulder. The tears fall from his eyes as he moves away from me, and I have to admit that hurts.“Gabe, you did nothing wrong. I don’t blame you.” He shakes his head as he turns and looks out over the lake. I move to sit beside him. I watch him, placing my hand on his thigh as I wait patiently for him to calm down

Gaia POV.“What do you mean, she is dying?” I look at my little sister, who has tears running down her cheeks.“Her light and her power have been fading.” I hug her to my chest and kiss the crown of her head.“There has to be a way. You know what she is like. She should have been named Loki.” I say with a chuckle, but I know she is telling the truth. I felt it when I was brought back and long before that. Selene, at full power, wouldn’t have been so easily subdued by me.“Take me to her.” I murmur into her hair, and she nods before wiping her eyes with the heel of her hand. She takes my hand and pulls me into the packhouse. My mates follow behind me as I’m led to the office.Sofia pushes open the door and the mood in the room is depressing. Why can’t my family ever have a moment of joy instead of despair?I look towards Selene and I squint my eyes at her. I see her aura flicker and I sigh as I move towards her. I stand in front of her as I cross my arms over my chest. I look down at h

Gaia POV.Kodiak was always enormous in her wolf form. She is easily nine feet tall. It’s the perk of having God and Goddess blood running through her veins. My father, aunt, siblings, and cousins are the same. The average Alpha wolf stands at seven feet. We are stronger, faster, more dominant and aggressive. This makes us more of a challenge for anyone who is stupid enough to try to take us down.“Hey, it’s just more of us to love. Besides, we are cute and fluffy when we want to be.” I chuckle at Kodiak’s words as she charges through the forest. Our mates gaining on us.“You are cute and fluffy, if that is what you would use to describe a cactus.” I mock back and she growls at me.“Focus, this is a chase. Don’t lose sight of the goal. Let them think they are winning, then push on. You wanted to do this before Kodiak and I’m letting you now.” I say to her when she huffs before she slows slightly.The vibrations of paws on the earth, the sound of their breathing and low growls sound ar

Gaia POV.Waking surrounded by warmth as the sun beats down on me. I open my eyes and see we are still on the beach. We slept on the sand. The burning embers from a fire are dying. Sitting up, I yawn and stretch.“Fuck, my back.” I mumble as I stand, stretching as my back crunches and I shiver.“Morning.” I turn my head and see my mates all waking up. I look back out over the water and release a slow breath. Waking like this is perfect.“Morning.” I say I am extremely chirpy this morning.“Yeah, that is what happens when you mate and mark. You need to finish the process with Jake and then you need to mark them, too.” Kodiak sounds groggy in my head. She has never been a morning wolf and I don’t think that will ever change.“I know. I plan on doing that.” I tell her and she yawns before going back to sleep. Looks like someone is wiped out. I’m pulled out of my thoughts as I’m pulled back down with a giggle. I land against a warm chest.“Who dressed me?” I ask as Leo rubs his eyes befor
