I am hoping to get multiple chapters up this week so stay tuned. Please leave a review on the main page if you are enjoying this book, thanks again for all the support! xx
Sabastian POV My entire body felt pulled taut like an elastic band ready to snap; the only thing holding me in place was Aurora’s smooth skin beneath my hand and the sound of her heart beating. Jaden held Stacey against him, whispering in her ear as she ran her fingers through his hair. I wanted my kitten to soothe me that way. I had promised to give up smoking, but after that fucking bombshell, I’m not too sure I would be able to stick to it.Caleb drummed his fingers on the table as he looked at Kara. “The next full moon? Why is that date significant?” Ethan looks at our brother as Rosa comes in and takes away the plates with the other staff helpers. She picks up a weird vibe in the room but doesn’t say anything. I feel bad about not eating more. The food is delicious, and there are still several more courses, but all of us feel the threat of the bond. With Caleb’s vision and Kara basically confirming it. It feels like my kitten is already slipping away. My hand skims up her dress,
Aurora POV I looked at my sister as she shifted in her seat. Luca was a Lycan? Even as Caleb described him, I didn’t understand how this was possible? What did that mean for my little boy? Would he be alone forever? The only one of his kind?Kara smiled down the table, the candlelight reflecting in her green eyes. “Elio and I have been researching Helios. We think we have an idea of the power he may have given to the Solstice Pack and their alpha in particular.” She smoothed her black sparkly dress down even though there wasn’t a crease insight.“Helios being the sun god, his power lies in light. But it’s more complicated than that. The sun itself is nothing but fire, and whilst this might be what he would give them, we can’t ignore the fact that sunlight is a powerful force. What if Teddy can wield it? Take it away. He could plunge a world into darkness or have it burn so bright no life could survive. The sun is key to everything we need to survive.” Stacey gasped beside me as I hea
Caleb POV “What exactly is a Lycan?” Caden asks as everyone looks my way, a sea of confused faces in front of me. I can see an inkling of hurt on Aurora’s face. I hadn’t told my brothers what I had found. I would never reveal something so important to just them and not her, but from the look on her face, I can tell that’s what she believes. My lips press into a thin line. I hate disappointing anyone, especially her. But after so many of my visions have been incorrect, I needed to verify this information before sharing it with us all.Since Luca’s return, I have felt his wolf's presence, so different from my brothers or any other alpha. With those alphas, the aura feels like an arm wrestle, their auras trying to force your hand to surrender to their side. With Luca, his aura feels like a blade to the neck; there is no fighting against it.Gabriel had taken some of his blood, and we had seen abnormalities in the structure of how his blood responded to various tests, including silver, wo
Aurora POV By the time I get downstairs, everyone is already gathered in the dining room. I have never particularly liked this room. It feels too rigid with its dark wood and dim lighting and red walls. I much prefer the kitchen bar stool or the lounge. That is where the kids are eating tonight so they can watch a movie because apparently, grown-up dinners are boring.Elio and Kara are in the corner chatting. My sister is wearing a black glittering dress with winged liner so sharp it could cut glass. Elio is dressed to match his fitted black sparkly suit with no shirt, which makes him look incredibly handsome.Stacey is sitting on my brother’s knee wearing a grey halter neck dress with a nude bodysuit underneath. The grey silver beads creating a webbed look that wraps around her body like a snake. Her dark glossy hair is styled in an updo; her face is natural apart from her blood red lipstick. I arch a brow at her as she gives me a smile, my brother’s hand creeping up her bare thigh.
Aurora POV “Luca will be alright, you know?” I turn seeing Caleb in the doorway as I let out a sigh, zipping up my pale blue dress with decorative large beaded flowers. “How can you know that?” Caleb adjusts his glasses coming up behind me as I add my gold earrings in the mirror. “I know things,” he teases, tapping his glasses as a smile tugs at my lips whilst I roll my eyes.What I don’t tell him is that I thought I was past my trauma. But something had been niggling at me since Kara said Dylan wasn’t our father. I know he isn’t. He’s actually a really sweet guy, to be honest, and had taken Logan’s crush well for the most part … but all the other issues Riley mentioned, the stress in their relationship, Logan biting her neck no doubt sent him over the edge. Was I projecting? My father nearly destroyed my mother. I watched it happen time and time again. She never would have left him if it wasn’t for me.It only occurs to me now I never felt with the stress of that, but seeing Luca re
Aurora POV The half-moon beams bright, casting shadows over the garden as I run back up. My legs burn and my lungs reach for breath, but I feel light. Lighter than I have been in years, actually. Ever since the moon goddess told me what was to come, I have felt like I am living with a blade dangling over my head, but now that it’s here … well started, there is a quiet acceptance of what is to come. Luca has his wolf, but I wonder if he knows the level of his abilities, his powers yet? Are they like my mates where he felt them with his wolf on his first shift, or will it be more like mine, where I summoned them out of sheer desperation to survive?Shifting back, I walk up the long lawn, feeling the breeze on my skin. The bushes rustle; the crickets are still chirping. Would Luca’s powers develop in stages? I haven’t even seen his wolf full yet, so how am I supposed to help him if I don’t know what’s coming? “I made you cocoa.” I look up from where I had pulled a rose from my favourite
