Kael

The proposal went wrong.

Wrong enough for my family to remember it for decades.

We had prepared the Winter Garden with help from Liora, Maia, and Soren.

Mistake number one: involving younger siblings.

Soren accidentally altered the distance between two tables, and the servers spent ten minutes walking without being able to reach one of them. Maia adjusted the lights with a system that reacted to emotions and ended up making them glow red every time I got nervous. Liora hung flowers from th

    ElaineTwelve years laterThe first sound of the morning was a bark.The second was Kael shouting.“Bruno, tell the dog to give that back!”The third was a little girl’s laughter.I opened my eyes and looked at Arsel.My husband was still asleep.Or pretending.“Your turn,” I said.“I’m a grandfather. I have immunity.”“That does not exist.”“It should.”Outside, someone ran down the hallway.Then a child’s voice shouted:“Grandma!”Arsel opened one eye.“She called you.”“Coward.”I got up.Crescent’s main house had changed so many times that I barely recognized some of the rooms.We had added wings, turned offices into bedrooms, turned bedrooms back into studies, and built a new dining room because our family no longer fit inside the old one.When I went downstairs, I found chaos.Miriam, Kael and Harper’s daughter, was chasing a dog carrying a ceremonial ribbon in its mouth.She was nine years old, with brown hair and green eyes.She could understand animal emotions, although she c

    ElianOn the morning of the wedding, I woke up with flowers inside my room.It was not romance.It was anxiety.“Control yourself,” I told the fern growing inside one of my shoes.Aster laughed inside me.Kael knocked on the door.“Are you dressed?”“Yes.”He came in.He wore a dark suit with green details.Mine had silver embroidery.We were not dressed alike because Harper had threatened to cancel the ceremony if anyone tried to turn us into ceremonial twins.“You have a leaf in your hair,” he said.I removed it.“You’re afraid.”“No.”“You smell afraid.”“It smells like commitment.”“Commitment with fear.”Kael dropped into a chair.“What if the ceremony is too much?”“Harper designed half of it.”“What if the new law fails?”“Mara reviewed every document.”“What if...”“Kael.”He stopped.I sat across from him.“She isn’t going to run because we sign something. And she isn’t going to stay because we sign something either.”My brother breathed.“I know.”“Then what’s wrong?”“I’m h

    KaelThe proposal went wrong.Wrong enough for my family to remember it for decades.We had prepared the Winter Garden with help from Liora, Maia, and Soren.Mistake number one: involving younger siblings.Soren accidentally altered the distance between two tables, and the servers spent ten minutes walking without being able to reach one of them. Maia adjusted the lights with a system that reacted to emotions and ended up making them glow red every time I got nervous. Liora hung flowers from the ceiling, and a group of fairies decided they would look prettier if they floated.Harper walked in and looked at everything.“What happened here?”“Art,” I said.Elian elbowed me.“Improvisation.”She looked at us.Then she looked at our family, who were terribly hidden behind the plants.“I can see your grandmother Selene.”A whisper came from behind a planter.“Izan, I told you that plant was too small.”Harper closed her eyes.“Everyone is here.”“Not everyone,” I lied.A raven cawed from a

    ArselThe first official dinner with Harper as my two sons’ partner was a disaster.Not because of Harper.Because of my family.Mom prepared enough food for approximately forty people even though there were seventeen of us.Dad brought wine.Isaac and Isaiah placed bets on which of the boys would blush first.Liora questioned Harper about flight protocols for no reason related to the subject.Soren asked w

    ElaineTalus died without leaving new ashes behind.For several minutes, no one spoke.I never thought normalcy could feel like a blessing.Arsel rested his forehead against mine.“Can you feel it?”I searched through my connection to Balance.For eighteen years, I had recognized Talus’s trace as an irritation at the edge of the Veil.Sometimes it appeared during a nightmare.

    ElianTalus still had one final choice.I understood it when the ground opened.He chose to steal another existence and lunged toward Harper.There was no magic left in his body, but he still had training, desperation, and a null-metal knife hidden beneath his sleeve.Kael moved first.So did I.We hit Talus from opposite sides.The knife grazed my arm.It burned like fire, but null metal did not burn magic.It forced it into silence.My connection with the ground disappeared from my shoulder to my fingertips, and Talus hit me with surprising strength for an o

    ElaineI opened my eyes, and the white lights blinded me again.I swallowed hard when I found myself in another hospital room, on a much larger and more comfortable bed, but with my arms hooked up to IVs. That was a complete reality check.Shit, it’s real, I thought in horror.I had lost my memorie

    ElaineMy head felt like it was going to explode.It felt like someone was hammering it with force and painful violence, so I groaned in pain. I opened my eyes carefully and was completely blinded by a white light. My lips were dry, and I was so thirsty that I would have drunk toilet water if I cou

The plane ticket danced in my mind like a damn mockery, and I was writhing with rage.Finding the plane ticket had been a clear sign that my pet wanted to run away from me, but I ignored it because I thought teaching her a lesson w

    ArselThe moon was high in the sky when I reached the border.It lit up everything in its path, which meant it was going to be a good night.I patrolled as usual, running along the edge of the forest, letting Leo, my beast, take control of my body and release as much energy as he could.I could hea
