Chapter 0829 I shudder at the thought, every instinct in me screaming not to do it. My wolf is right - Gabriel's bossy wolf will bully her, and corrupt her, and turn her to his will. The idea of my sweet rose-gold wolf all covered in oil, her eyes glowing in the darkness, her lungs heaving with her singular desire to fulfill the God of Darkness's will...

I clench my teeth against it as another whine slips from her muzzle. No, impossible - I'll never let that happen.

But...Faiza is right. My grandmother gave me this bond for a reason - and now that I know that accepting the bond and receiving my mates mark gives me new and intensified access to my magic? Isn't it...isn't it my duty, and my fate, to accept that magic? Especially if it can help my nation and even – maybe - end this war.

I mean, that's possible, after all. Look what I can do with only two mates by my side. What will my magic become with three?

I growl a little as I raise my hand to my bruised jaw, pissed off and kind of wishing that Faiza did indeed send me some pain killers alongside the poison.

God, what the hell am I going to do? Now that I have a weapon, how will I wield it? And what steps do I want to take before I do? Would I be worth exploring my connection with Gabriel now to investigate how his magic impacts mine?

Or should I just kill him now and have it done?
