Dominic walked towards me. "Are you ready?" he said, and I nodded. I have been fed blood again, and I have never felt this good. It was amazing how my mate's blood could invigorate me.
"Yes, where is Asteria?" I asked, and he sighed.
"She will be here shortly," he said, and I nodded.
I was wearing a cargo uniform all in
Thirteen Years LaterMatei D´Angelo“Dad!” My nineteen-year-old daughter protested.“Aurora, I said NO…” I pressed, and she sighed.“I am not a Lycan… I didn't shift a year ago… I don't see why I can't pass as a human!” she protested, and I rolled my eyes.My sweet daughter, the shy baby who barely spoke and was a complete introvert, is long gone, and now I have a spirited teenage woman who is just as fierce as her mother. “Because, honey… all of your physical traits scream supernatural, and after the last conflict with the humans, a conflict I led, well, you can't go there…” I sighed.She knows. Damn it! She does… and she is pushing for something that will never happen; she will never set foot in the human realm, ever. She is a perfect target, and I am not going to risk her.After we raided all the labs and military facilities, we negotiated a peace treaty with the human realm: limited access and very tight security between the supernatural and human communities. We had exchange prog
Asteria D´AngeloWe settled in the bungalows. All my cousins, their kids, the whole family… it was something that we needed to have this type of moment. A moment of peace, of family banter, jokes, and undeniable love.Around six in the afternoon, we all started getting ready for the BBQ and s´mores Dominic had promised everyone.“So, I need the fire dragons to set up the pit…” Dominic smirked, and Arman nodded. “Come on, Urien, Adam… you can help set the wood, and I get the fire,” Arman smirked, and Urien laughed.“Show off…” he grumbled, and then Elisa stood beside me laughing.“The Pendragon royal bloodline masters the elements, the Dragnoir bloodline masters the powers of the gemstones…” She sighed, and I nodded.“But then, why was Talia an Amethyst Dragon?” I looked at her, giving her a side glance.“I don't know; I hope they are not related somehow…” Elisa scrunched her face, and I laughed.“It is a prophecy… I was made an Amethyst because the only bloodline that could protect me
One Year LaterAsteria D´Angelo“Alright, everybody… this is not a drill, this is serious!” I yelled, and everyone looked at me as if I had grown a second head.“Relax, Love… we will get there when we get there…” Zane wrapped his arms around me, and I rolled my eyes.“Zane! Don't enable them!” I pouted, and he laughed.He whistled, loud, shrieking, the type of whistle that commanded attention. “Either you pick a car, or you are staying!” he yelled, and people started scrambling around. I looked up at my mate and smiled.We have had an eventful year. After the war and the funeral, Grecco and Liah greeted their firstborn daughter… Grace. That kid was a menace. Aurie was shy, Azul was a giggly creature, and this one was loud for both of them. Goddess, help them both… that kid is going to make them see their luck, of course, in a D´Angelo way, with style.Dad was released from the hospital and decided he wanted to take a quiet time with Mom in the cabin. They moved to the countryside of t
Stavros D´AngeloGrecco and Liah walked out in a rush. Liah had contractions, and on the way out, he looked over his shoulders and said, “You two, with dad…” He yelled, and I looked at Akasha, and she laughed.“Of course, a D´Angelo baby was coming most unexpectedly,” she laughed, and I couldn't hold the laugh myself.“That is the trademark,” I joked, lacing my fingers with my mate and leading the way into my father's guard.“Son… Grecco and Liah are having the baby…” he smiled, and I nodded.“Yeah, the D´Angelo timing at its best,” I joked,“Of course, we are always making big entrances…” Dad smirked,“And grand exits, too…” I added,“Of course, there is no other way to go… go big or go home…” Dad smirked,“How are you doing? And don't give me that crap that you are fine,” I said, and he sighed.“I am doing well…” he paused,“And by good, you mean?” I lifted my eyebrows.“Fucking terrified of how I am going to live my life like a simple mortal…” he sighed, and I took a step forward a
Asteria D´AngeloWe couldn't make it to the funeral. It was too recent, too raw, and too much for Zane to be present. After the funeral and once everything was done, I managed to take Zane along to the hospital.Dad is waking up, in and out of consciousness, and he needs us around. I really hope Matty gets to see him; he has been asking for him.We walked into the hospital, and all my siblings were there. I sat beside Elisa, and she patted my knee, and I sighed.“Is Dad up?” I asked, and she sighed.“Yes, he is talking to Mom, and then he wants to see us.” Elisa sighed, and I looked around.“Where the hell is Matty?” I sighed,“He is getting there,” she said, and I took a deep breath. I looked at Zane, and he locked his eyes with mine.“Sweetie… What's wrong?” he sighed,“Nothing, only Matty not being here… and Dad asking for him,” I sighed, and he tapped my hand.“He is a grown man, and your father understands,” Zane sighed, and I took a deep breath. He was right, but deep down I was
Elisa D´AngeloUrien picked me up and held my hand. “How are you feeling?” He leaned forward and pecked my temple.“I just can't believe that we are burying one of them,” I sighed, and he nodded.“He died a hero…” Urien said, and I looked up, meeting his eyes.“He died so you could live…” I said, and he nodded.“The most heroic act a man can do… to die saving the mate of the woman he loved,” he said, and I took a shivering breath.“He didn't love me,” I said, and Urien shook his head.“All three of them tricked you, and in the process, the ones who lost were they, because they fell in love with you…” Urien said, and I bit my lower lip.“Love is a huge word,” I mumbled, and he nodded.“I can't say for the others, but Wyatt did love you.” Urien squeezed my hand, and I sighed.“I feel guilty,” I mumbled, and he kissed my temple again.“You are not guilty of anything. He made his choice, just the way your father made his, just the way you chose to fight for your true mate bond, just the w
ZaneWe climbed on the dragon and we headed back, with a compass in our pockets, and more questions than answers. There were so many things that didn´t add up, so many questions that went unanswered, that I couldn’t get my head around all of it.The Vampire ark opened with my blood.
ZaneThe onyx ark opened up with my blood. What does that mean? Is it good? Is it bad? I am so confused that it’s taking me a minute to react to what’s happening around us.“It is open,” Asteria said, and I nodded. She took my hand and led the way back to the
Urien DragnoirI arrived to visit Grandma Merryweather. She is Adam's maternal grandmother, but she has adopted all of us as her grandsons. She is such a lovely, fun woman to be around that I enjoy visiting her a lot.Especially after a mission. After the fight, we had to save Adam and Talia. My br
ZaneWe walked hand in hand to meet her cousin on the front lawn of the castle.“Hey, you are here...” he said, and Asteria nodded. He gave us a weird look and took a deep breath. Asteria averted his gaze, and I almost laughed. All of these men were super protective of my princess. Maybe because she
