Sabasian POVI watched Jaden’s cocky look as he strolled over to Elio’s desk without a care in the world. Never mind the urgency this message gave us. They were going to strike soon. Of that, I was certain.His hands flew quickly across the screen, fingers trying so fast they blurred and all I could hear was the tap tap tap of the keys. This was my thing. I was the hacker in our group. It was me that uncovered this type of information. I had even run a trace program on the dark web looking for something like this. How did Jaden get an alert and not me?Sensing my frustration, Aurora took my hand in hers, giving them a squeeze. It didn’t matter we still found our answers, but I just knew Jaden would be insufferable. More so than normal. “They we have it. I’ve got the IP address. Just give me a few seconds and I’ll have the pack it came from.” He grinned at me, my jaw clicking as I tried not to punch him in the face.“Damn baby you’re so impressive,” Stacey cooed as the two of them lock
Aurora POV The ‘wolf’ is clearly using a modulator to transform his voice, making it trickier to identify who the guy really is. “It’s time for Selene’s reign to end,” my eyes flick to Jaden, his lips pressed in a hard line as he nods at me to continue. Is this a joke?“Too long have we been under her thumb? What has she done for us but expect us to bow down?” The voice continues as my brows knot together. You mean other than giving us life with gifts and abilities? Yeah, not much. It’s only then that it occurs to me that my mates and I have extraordinary powers compared to other wolves. Kara, being the moon goddess daughter, is different and Elio a hybrid has his powers from his demon side, but my brother and Stacey don’t have any other heightened gifts. Why did she only bless us?To make Luca. My stomach twists as the video goes on. “It’s time for a new god to rise, a new type of wolf to be born. No longer are we bound to howl to the moon. No longer will the sting of rejection of o
Aurora POVIt was later that evening Jaden and Stacey had arrived when we met in Elio’s private office. Like the rest of the castle, it had high vaulted ceilings, cool sandstone walls, and mosaic tiles. Despite the setting sun, the castle was still warm — maybe from the fire crackling in the corner more than anything else. Kara and Elio had handed out drinks. We had gone through the greetings and general chitchat.“How do you think I can help you?” Elio mused, his fingers steadily drumming on the back of his office seat where Kara was perched. He towered over her protectively, his presence engulfing the room. His gaze kept flickering to the flames each time a log cracked and popped. “We have reason to believe there is a French coven involved with Luca’s disappearance. We were hoping you might have heard about them, as I just tried meeting with someone at Bloodmoon Bay,” Ethan asked, as Elio’s eyes darkened. His gaze dipped to Kara before masking his features completely. That was a lit
Aurora POV “Did you actually manage to meet the person who sent the note?” Gabriel asks and Ethan licks his lips, savouring my taste. It makes me blush despite having seen them all do it a thousand times before. “Yeah, but I didn’t pay them in the end. It was some old wizard who had heard a rumour from another witch picking up some supplies from this witchy herb shop. He was low on cash and wanted to make a quick buck.” He supplies grabbing the soap and washing his corded arms and chest.“Waste of fucking time, like I said it would be,” Sabastian bites out, his palm coming down on my thigh below the water as I glare at him. This is not helping. “Yeah, but the shopkeeper on the other hand was able to give me some information, so it wasn’t a total loss,” he gives me a wink as Sabastian clicks his jaw, his hand skating up my thigh.“We questioned Avery. turns out you attacked him for nothing. He had noticed some magic being used in the pack and was trying to find out who was behind it.
Aurora POV “Um, before we head to the office, there is something waiting for you in your room and you might want to, um, freshen up first,” Kara adds quickly, steering me down the hall in the opposite direction. “Okay, but I think it’s important we get some answers,” I protest, but her grip is surprisingly firm considering her wrist looks like it would easily snap in two. “We will, but this should happen first.” She shoves me towards the door. I notice is the other end of the hall to where everyone else stays. I can’t even think what would be waiting in my room. My heart kicks up a couple of notches. “Is it about Luca?” I ask, and her face twists. “No … take a shower, you stink,” she tells me, opening the door and practically kicking me inside. “Thank me later, love you,”“Wait …” the door snaps shut behind me and I’m pretty sure she locked it, but I might be imagining things. What was that all about? I’m going to have words with my sister when I get out of here.I give my pits a qui
Aurora POVThe crimson moon pack stretched out before us. Dunes as far as the eye could see as we drove over the tumbling grains of sand. The heat was unbearable. Part of me wanted to wring out my top from the sweat that had accumulated. I’m not sure how Kara survived in this heat. A large sandstone wall surrounds the Crimson Moon Pack. Rows upon rows spiral up the top until finally an enormous castle sits. The place has turrets, towers, and gateways. When a sandstone occurs, the entire pack is lost, blending in with the surroundings. They hardly ever have invasions because anyone heading towards the pack is picked out like a fly in a glass of milk. The drawbridge lowers and then we make our decent driving the steep narrow winding roads up to the top of the castle.Kara greets us, her long dark waves cascading down her back as she wears a modest pretty lilac dress the hugs her curves. Besides her is Aria, her daughter, only slightly older than Violet. She has jet black dark straight h
