Category: A Gift from the Goddess by Dawn Rosewood

Chapter One Hundred & Five This should have been expected, I knew that. Selene had touched Myra, thereby reembodying her with the power of a Goddess. Exactly as it had been when our species was first created. Only, I‘d be lying if I said it didn‘t raise some questions regarding her rebirth now At the very least, I knew her body had aged in accordance with how old she was […]

Chapter One Hundred & Four  “What you seek… it may have greater repercussions than you realise,” Selene said. 1 The cold of the Abyss was stinging me, a reminder that I wanted to leave as soon as possible. Leave and hopefully not come back anytime soon. “This is what I want,” I reaffirmed confidently. Her lips tightened into a line, considering my request further. “Ariadne… What I do is not an exact science. There may […]

Chapter One Hundred & Three The ground came crashing towards me as I fell roughly down, unable to cushion the fall. All I could do was accept what had happened and feebly cover the wound at my gut; a futile dream of survival pushing me on.  A dream I knew would die as quickly as I did. “Aria,” I heard Aleric yell, apparently having shifted back. My breathing was shallow as my body started to […]

Chapter One Hundred & TWO  “Aria?” I could remember it so clearly now. The way Cai had feebly tried to cover the wound on his neck, bleeding profusely as the ground simply absorbed it. I‘d grabbed his hand and cried into it, stroking his hair as he died. As the light in his golden eyes slowly faded. And then there was Aleric as his wolf, walking away from his body with blood around […]

Chapter One Hundred & One …Dead?  No… that couldn‘t….. I could feel my heart racing at hearing her words. Why would she have done that? Why do something before… Unless… unless she expected me to rush into war regardless of whether she used him as bait. Because she knew I wouldn‘t have any way of knowing he was alive and would assume that I would come for him blindly anyway.  ‘It‘s […]

Chapter One Hundred I sat atop a tree, looking down at those who would be fighting for our survival today. Any minute now we‘d be leaving, shifting and beginning our journey to the camp near the Silver Lake pack. With this many people, it was agreed that going on foot would be best, knowing that travelling via roads added more time and allowed for a predictable ambush. And there was […]

Chapter Ninety Nine It was the most difficult decision I‘d ever made. Sacrificing someone in order to save myself. I felt sick even thinking about it… but I didn‘t have a choice here. And not just that, but I also didn‘t have time to digest it further if I wanted to escape safely. On the off chance that Thea had people lying in the wait to catch me, I gathered […]

Chapler Ninety–Eight  “Aleric…,” I cried, feeling completely useless. This wasn‘t good. This was really, really not good. And worse, even on the small possibility that this wasn‘t Thea‘s doing, there was no chance she didn‘t already know by now. Either way, I was wasting time being stuck inside this vision. I needed to get out. Now. ‘Wake up.’ | slapped at my cheeks, wishing more than anything to break out, […]

Chapter Ninety Seven  I woke up with a long, satisfied stretch in bed, feeling more content than I had in years. The last few days had all blended together so much that I could barely keep track of time anymore. Was it a Tuesday? Morning? Night? I didn‘t know. All I knew was that my last week had been spent with Aleric, living and breathing every moment he could spare […]

Chapter 96   1… 2… 3… In… and out. I sat outside in the fresh air amongst the trees, breathing carefully as I focused on clearing my mind. I‘d been working on these techniques over the last two weeks, and it was coming along nicely. Or at least, it seemed that way. How well it held up when it came time to actually use it, I couldn‘t be sure. However, […]
