The cool metal of his body calming me down. I can’t believe she’s gone. I felt her tie in the pack separate like ripping off an arm. It fucking hurt. The ice refused to melt even after my fire burned hotter than a volcano. Why? Why her? She had been through so much. I heard a growl and looked up. It was a rogue. He was limping over to us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I prepared to light his ass on fire but I stopped when waves of power and dominance rolled off Conner. This was more than I’ve ever felt before. It’s like being in a room full of the strongest alphas. The power was overwhelming. When I looked up, I stared in fascination as Conner turned into a lycan. Standing up on two feet, he growled. Oh shit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was going to watch what he was doing when something felt off. I frowned. With my powers, I could see heat signatures. From the hottest to the coldest. My senses detected something off. It was super cold. I know we are literally on top of a frozen lake but this was different. Like if something could be colder than ice. Is that even possible? I turned on my heat vision eyes, ignoring Conner’s death frenzy and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong?\" Jace asked me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something’s not right. There’s this coldness that wasn’t there before. Like extra chilly.\" I complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Car?\" Eve asked. I looked at her. Her brown was frowned and lightning cracked from where her body touched the ice. \"Do you feel that?\" She asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded. \"What do you feel exactly?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know how water is a conductor of electricity?\" She asked. I nodded. \" well it’s like in the water there’s a part of it that’s a better conductor. Does that make sense? \" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes and no.\" I complained still looking for the source of the coldness. When I looked down, I gasped. There was a cold signature in the form of a body. Gemma? What the hell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eve look!\" I said scrambling on top of the figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve rolled next to me and peered down below. She gasped. \"It’s Gemma. She’s what I’ve been feeling. What the hell?\" Eve grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s gifted.\" Jace said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We all turned to him. \"What?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed. \"I died when I got my powers, fell into melting metal. She could be the same.\" He said his voice emotionless. My heart hurt hearing that story. I’ve heard it before and I couldn’t take it. I grabbed his hand and squeezed. He squeezed it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It makes sense. Get her out.\" Ash urged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t. Did you not see me try?\" I asked angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do it together with Eve. Jace and I will go distract Conner long enough so Gemma gets out and calms him down before he goes on a killing spree world wide.\" Ash said. We all nodded and the boys were off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful.\" Eve and I said in unison. Both boys nodded. We didn’t know what Conner would do in his lycan form. He seemed to have no control whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on Eve. I’ll heat here. You just strike the same spot ok.\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ok.\" She answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We got to work. Come on Gemma. Please be ok. We need you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gemma’s POV\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I placed my palm flat on the ice. I couldn’t hold my breath anymore. Poor Conner was trying his best to get me out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conner stopped punching the ice and placed his hand flat on mine. I could make out the blurry image of his bruised knuckles and tear stained face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hurt I couldn’t get to him and clean them away. Winter had become weak and I was on my own. My body begun to sink into the cold water. I heard vibrations that I guess was Conner’s voice but I was too far gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My body settled on the lake floor as I finally let in a breath. Water entered my lungs and burned. I coughed and gagged but that only made me inhale more water. After a few minutes of suffering, I finally stopped. My breathing ceased and I was gone. Just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death wasn’t so bad. It was cold and empty but in a comforting way. I reached out into the darkness and touched fur. Glancing up, I saw Winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey girl. Ready to move on?\" I asked sadly. She whined and shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know but I don’t think we can go back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winters voice sounded in my head. \"We have to go back. We left Conner and Axle alone.\" She whimpered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know girl but if we could go back, I would let us.\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, two doors appeared. A soft melodic voice spoke from everywhere and nowhere at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gemma Frost, white wolf. Here are the doors of fate. You have two choices. You can either accept the fact you are a white wolf and face your fears or you can deny and live in eternal peace the rest of your life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black door is for your first choice and the second door, the white one, is for the latter. Choose wisely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Wait come back! I need to know more. Please!\" I shouted. They couldn’t leave me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is your choice Gemma. I am not permitted to help you. Please chose wisely.\" Winter said before fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Winter! No wait. Whoever is there I need more information. Please.\" I begged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was all alone now. So much for death being peaceful. I curled into a ball on the ground and sobbed. This was all too much. I wanted Conner - no - I needed him here with me. Or me with him. My gaze turned to the doors. That’s it. I just have to pick one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood up. My body was still shaky from the sobs but I could do this. I needed to. This dark lonely abyss will drive me crazy soon. The white door. It was so bright and welcoming, promising me a safe passage straight to paradise. Where I could live without pain or suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second door demanded me to face my demons. The ones I had buried in my mind for a long time. I had gotten over most of them, but I don’t think I could do that again. It wasn’t hard to chose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white one. No pain. No suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only one led to Conner. Only one would get me to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I grabbed the handle of the white door.\u003C\u002Fp>",1113,"2026-06-08T09:47:01.876Z",1,"novelbin.me","6b60fddcfb9cd19657beeb597ecd8047fc80fa9e2c508309f93737263f6cf03c","his-gifted-luna-chapter-24","his-gifted-luna-chapter-22",39,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhis-gifted-luna-cover.jpg"]
