Alpha Draven’s voice boomed through the war room, calm but commanding. “Make yourselves at home. These pack lands stretch across thousands of protected acres. No unwanted soul gets in without a fight.”
The witches and beast shifters nodded, murmurs of gratitude echoing. Everyone headed outside towards their areas.
The coven mages began whispering incantations, weaving their own layers of protection over the fields and tree lines, while the beast shifters set up sentries.Then the fucking alarms shrieked.
A high pitched wail of pure magical panic.Draven’s eyes went glassy, his face carved from stone. “Southern border. We’ve got company,” he growled.
I felt the rage slam into me like a tidal wave. Vampires. On my lands.My goddesses‘ lands.
I shifted. Not into my wolf…but into something more. My body glowed faintly, the earth humming under my bare feet as I ran. My mates flanked me, streaks of speed and fury. The Marines scrambled to form units behind us, but we were already moving.
The scent hit me before I saw them. Burnt blood. Death. Madness.About five hundred vampires filled the tree line like a sea of nightmares. Some were mutated, too long limbs, blackened eyes, twisted fangs. Whatever the Aegis had done to them, they were no longer human.
They weren’t even vampire anymore. They were fucking monsters. A howl ripped from Lyssira inside me. “End them.”
And so I did. I threw my hands wide, channeling the raw force of the earth. The ground shuddered and cracked, vines the width of my torso whipped out, dragging screaming creatures into the dirt. Then, with a snarl, I clenched my fists, and the earth swallowed them whole.
Daxon POV
Talon exploded from my chest before I even had time to think.We shifted mid–run, black fur meeting the wind. Elowen’s power pulsed around us, and I had to blink past it, because I could barely believe she was real.
One second she was soft and laughing, kissing me at breakfast.The next, she was a fucking earthquake made flesh. I tore through two ferals with my jaws, crunching bone like brittle sticks.
She’s our goddess. “She’s ours,” Talon howled inside me.
Ashrian POV
I didn’t shift. I didn’t need to. I was already a weapon.The air snapped around me as I blurred through the trees, blades forming in both hands from condensed blood and shadow. I didn’t hesitate. Sliced through the throat of the first, then the next.
My eyes flicked to her as she stood in the center of the chaos, her hair whipping like silver fire, face full of righteous fury. It made something primal in me kneel.
I realized at that moment, watching her vengeance, that I would obliterate my entire species for her if it came to that. Bring it on.

Chapter 116
‘Och, fuck this,” I muttered as 1 raised my hands, calling on the storm.
Wind and water obeyed me instantly, I spun it outwards, a cyclone of cutting rain and ice daggers tearing through the flank of the vampires. They screamed, but I didn’t hear them, I was watching her.
My Elowen. Mo ghra. She stood like she belonged to the gods, like she was one, and the way she moved, it made my hands burn to touch
her even now.
‘She’s more than mortal,” I whispered, my voice shaking.
“Aye,” the wind answered. “And she’s yours.”
Bram POV
I saw red the second I scented blood.The fuckers dared to attack her land? While I was here?
My bear ripped forward in a roar so loud it made the vampires flinch. I charged, slamming into them like a mountain with claws.
But then I saw her.
Elowen. My mate.
Burying enemies beneath the earth like a wrathful goddess.We hadn’t sealed the bond yet, but my soul already knew. I would kill for her. I would die for her.
And I’d rip the fucking world apart if they hurt her.
