Gavin POVThe meeting finally broke up hours later. True to her word, Grandma Gwen had dinner sent up to the conference room, and we worked through the evening. We had lists of recent missing and narrowed down the areas they'd disappeared from, but it still felt like we hadn't accomplished much.It was frustrating.Grandpa and Uncle Gideon were walking with me now as we headed back to the family floor for the night. Picking up on my mood, my grandfather clapped a hand on my shoulder. "What's on your mind, son?"I heaved out a sigh. "How did we miss this? It's been happening right under our noses."They shared a look, and Gideon ran a hand over his face. He let out a small laugh. "Things like this…they're insidious. The people behind these rings know what they're doing. They specifically target loners, or people traveling by themselves." He shook his head. "Twenty years ago, we missed a much bigger operation, and thought we had put measures in place to prevent it from happening again.
Content Warning: Disturbing experimentation and psychological distress.Elara POVThree days have passed since they harvested my eggs, and I still hadn't heard so much as a whisper about what their plans were. The scientists remained frustratingly close-lipped.But while they weren't being talkative, they were still amping up the experiments. Which was why I was once again strapped to a table next to Allie.Doctor Ghost was once again my handler, moving around me with his eerily pale face as he inserted needles into my veins, placed electrode pads, shoved a bite block in my mouth. All things I'd become accustomed to over the years. All things that added fuel to the banked rage simmering in my belly.I slid my eyes over, unable to move my head due to the straps Ghost had ratcheted into place, and saw Allie trembling while Snake was pulling out various medical devices. She'd already been strapped down, and tears fell silently down her temples as Snake whispered to her. "Well, Number Fi

Gavin POV“When you’re done training, Gavin, they need you in your father’s office,” Beta Julian called from his place at the top of the field. I acknowledged him with a wave, keeping my eyes on Ross the entire time. I wouldn’t put it past him to take a cheap shot while his dad distracted me. We’d grown up together and knew each other’s fighting style like it was our own, so these sparring sessions often turned into endurance sessions. That meant he’d take any chance to land a hit.As expected, he swung his fist, aiming for my face. I dodged, leaning back out of his reach, then followed up with a kick to his back as he overextended himself. “You just couldn’t help yourself, could you?” I taunted. He stood, dusting himself off, and shrugged. “Had to take the shot.” We settled back into our stances, trading blow after blow until Ross’s dad called an end to the session. “That’s it for the day, warriors!” Julian yelled. “Be back here at eight tomorrow morning!”Relieved sighs and sho
*Much like Luna Rising, Astral Eclipse will touch on tough topics. Forced experimentation, torture, and other hard scenes are not out of the question here. Take care.*Elara POVI was ten the last time I saw my parents. All I really remembered from that day was the horrible screaming as they pulled me from my mother’s arms. She tried to hold on as they ripped me away, but even a Luminar could not stop them. Especially when they outnumbered her twenty to one. Another twenty surrounded my father as he roared at them, demanding they get away from his mate and child. He fought, but they wrapped him in magically reinforced chains until he couldn’t move. Not that I knew that at the time. That information I learned later. When they used the same chains on me.It was ironic, really. Human hunters using tools obtained from witches. Years had passed since that day. The doctor who came to visit once a year made sure I knew how much time had passed, how long I’d been their prisoner. The other

SerenI had just gotten the hang of pairing air and water, a beautiful ribbon of shimmering liquid swirling in a circle in front of me, when a loud bang echoed through the courtyard. I immediately lost my focus and turned to face the sound. The water that I was manipulating whipped through the air
SerenDuncan flipped me over onto my back, bracing himself on his forearms as he held himself above me. “Seren, are you really sure? I can wait. I’d wait forever for you.”Since words were getting me nowhere, I lifted my head and kissed him, the feel of his lips on mine everything I hoped it would
