Saber's POV
Spent most of the rest of the day being shown around by Nox. Hard to believe everything was underground. By the time they returned, Nox had requested a long list of books to be delivered to Saber's room. Figured they would help answer many of his burning questions. Read through about half of one before he realized how tired he was and decided to go to bed.As he drifted off to sleep, he found himself back in the forest. Unlike every previous visit, it was storming. Squinting through the rain and barely making out the treeline, he quickly started running, trying to take cover. The rain, like needles on his skin, took over where the fog disappeared. Making finding his way nearly impossible.The rain almost instantly stopped. Found himself looking at a cave learning into the side of the mountain with the forest behind him. Nothing about this place made

Possible she never wanted toseehim again. But she did interfere when her father tried to attack him. All he wanted to do was explain himself.A little surprised he wasn't stopped when he reached the hospital. After the failed kidnapping, one would think to make sure security was better.

Before her mother was able to leave the room, a white light appeared between them. A woman stood in the center as the light dimmed. For a moment she believed her to be the woman she spoke to in the forest but quickly realized the two only slightly resembled one another. Sisters perhaps.Her mother quickly bowed at the sight of her. Was this the Sacred One she has been told about? Eerie timing ifitwas."Who are you?""Have you not been explaining things to her?" The glowing woman turned towards her mother who was a little surprised by the question."The past few days have been uncharacteristically eventful for her. A lot to explain in two days, especially with her being unconscious for most of the weekend.""Well, she is awake now, you sho-""None of this answers my question," Genevieve interrupted. Annoyed at what was happening in front o

A nurse entering the room noisily broke her concentration from her boyfriend, pulling her attention towards the door. Glancing back to the chair, Ambrose was no longer sitting there or anywhere else in the room."How are we feeling in here today? Some alarms were going off a few minutes ago. Your mother said everything was fine, but we wanted to come in and check for ourselves.""Yeah, we had an argument." Her words trailed off as she checked around the room in search of the place he may have hidden so fast. Finding nothing."Are you alright? You look like you lost something.""My boyfriend was sitting here when you walked in, now he's disappeared.""You were the only one in the room when I opened the door.""What? No, he was sitting in the chair.""Nobody was in the chair when I walked in. Maybe I should go grab the doctor.""No, can you send my mom in on your way out?""Alright." The

Gavril's POVA Cosantóir?The four of them having these abilities means they weren't being protected, but protecting someone else. Or being trained to.They were all under twenty-five at the time, so they would still be learning.Which means their parents were protecting someone.The werewolves' domain was hidden in a corner from all the other factions in the Constellation. With such sensitive senses, they prefer to be as far away from everyone as possible. Spending all day tracking others takes a toll after a while.Most don't like coming here. The wolves don't exactly have a hierarchy or someone considered to be in charge. All decisions are made collectively. Meaning nobody can be bought or bribed into doing something against their code.The Sacred One had never liked the wolves. Called them inconsistent and unclean. In the years he had been fighting beside them he had learned the behavi

Saber's POVSaber was unsure of what he was walking into as Genevieve's watcher opened the door to her hospital room. A confused teenage boy sat across from Genevieve and her mother who were both visibly concerned."Sorry, am I interrupting something?" Her mother turned to him as he cautiously entered the room."Not until your father comes back with any answers. We don't exactly have an understanding of what's going on. This is Ambrose. Apparently, he may be able to make himself invisible.""Wait, doesn't he work for...?""Yes. He is also Gen's boyfriend. Things are a little complicated right now.""Oh, okay.'" Saber shrugged, not knowing what else to say.The entire situation was already awkward without the fact he didn't have any connection with anyone here. Standing awkwardly in the middle of the room with no idea how to approach the topic of why he came to visit.Hey, sorry y

Ambrose's POVAmbrose stepped into the small bathroom to make the call. A little unsure how the conversation would go once he got the message. The man may be their brother, but he has his own safety to worry about."What do you need, Ambrose?""I didn't expect you to pick up.""Well, you caught me at a good time.""Genevieve and Saber are looking for help outside of the Constellation. Something is going on and they aren't sure who to trust with whatever the information is. I told them I can ask you but not to get their hopes up.""You think I won't want to help my brother and sister?""More that you may not be safe doing so. The two of them have only been a part of this world since Friday. If they are already worried about their safety they wouldn't be the only ones in danger. I informed Gavril you are alive.""Figured you would tell someone eventually.""R

Gavril's POV"What the hell happened?" Gavril burst through the doors into the Sacred One's office in Draíocht Tower. The one room in the building attached to the balcony overlooking the courtyard."His death is still being investigated as it only just happened. I also do not answer to you, or have you forgotten?"The arrogance recently caused a lot of tension between the Sacred One and the rest of the Constellation. Everyone looked to her for guidance and leadership only to be met with overbearing criticism. Seeking help while being chastised for needing it. Only gotten worse since he took over the throne. Or maybe he was simply waking up to it."I haven't forgotten. However, my brother-in-law dying mere days after my daughter turned eighteen and refusing to be a part of our world may be something I need to know about.""When we have information to share, you will be informed. Now leave my office, I am clearly busy.""Try not looking so inconvenienced by the death of such a high-stand

Focusing on Alyssa, he caught the color fading from her face as her sight fixed just below his left shoulder. Glancing down he realized the heat was coming from his sister. Her normally green eyes glowed slightly red. Anger built up on her face as she stared down her childhood friend."I'm pretty sure he asked a question. Don't try to tell me men coming towards me with cuffs is somehow none of my business," Genevieve spat as the temperature surrounding the twins continued to rise."Everyone wants the situation to go as smoothly as possible is all." Oliver didn't take his eyes off Saber as he answered the question."Treating me like a criminal is not the way to accomplish your goals. What other lies are we going to have to deal with going further?""Nothing else. Our orders were to have you contained before bringing you to the Sacred One." Oliver was lying and she didn't need her powers to see through his blank face."Here is the problem. I no longer believe a word spoken from your mou
