Page 299 of The Gods Order

All seven speak.

“You, Thayla Godrun, are the God of Order.”

The words settle over me like a truth that has always existed.

The Stargate pulls my attention down, and beneath my feet, the path home opens.

I don’t speak or spare them another look.

I jump through.

Thayla

37

My soul slams back into my healed body with enough force to steal every ounce of breath from my lungs.

For one suspended heartbeat, my gaze scans beyond the barrier surrounding us.

Beyond it…everything is about to change.

Gravity remembers me, snatching my body from the air, and Creed’s hand slips from my ankle as I fall. My boots strike the earth and the ground explodes beneath me. Cracks race outward in every direction, throwing everyone backward across the safe space my father and Yemi created.

A millisecond passes as everyone scrambles to their feet.

Every pair of eyes locks onto me, but no one speaks.

No one has the chance.

The realm responds.

Power tears through every corner of my body like a river finally breaking free of the dam that held it back. Light races beneath my skin before spilling from my fingertips.

Boundaries, Consequence, Seduction, Obliteration, Creation, Accord, and Chaos. All seven powers within me touch.

They become one.

Another pulse rips through the space surrounding me just as fast and intense. I watch it happen.

Yemi and Mara gasp. Sevryn, Iric, Nero, and Havar all inhale sharply. They each clutch at their chests as power blooms beneath their skin.

Every member of my soul family standing within the barrier who was still missing some of their power receives the rest.

Right now. In this moment.

My eyes drift over every face. Over the disbelief, the hope, the relief. It all settles into my heart.

Then my gaze flies to my men and roams over them.

Riven. Creed. Amick. Kyzen.

They stand shoulder to shoulder, all breathing hard as their powers blaze across their bodies. Even across the distance separating us, I feel their essence.

Whole. Complete. Fucking powerful.

The pulse of what now lives inside each of them crashes against my senses, deeper and stronger than it’s ever been.

Everything they should have had from the beginning.
